Swansea 1-0 Cardiff
Matt Grimes goes down, off the ball, holding his ankle.
Think he's ok to continue.
Swansea 1-0 Cardiff
Swansea win a corner. They have started the second half in control.
They play it short and Ryan Manning fires over.

Swansea could definitely be better if they move the ball quicker.
Cardiff will come out a bit more to get back in the game and that might be when Swansea can get into good positions.
Swansea 1-0 Cardiff
Swansea passing the ball around, under little pressure, in their own half.
That would make me mad if I followed Cardiff. The onus is all on them to change the pattern of play.

Swansea might not have scored many goals this season, but they do not concede that many either.
Russell Martin's team already have six league clean sheets on the board, the joint-highest tally in the Championship.
But then Cardiff can take heart from the fact that remarkably, all their league goals this season have come in the second halves of games.
Swansea 1-0 Cardiff
Cardiff fans! I appreciate I've given you little cause for hope in the last half an hour.
Well, you've not scored a first-half league goal since 1 May, so the second half is really your area to shine.
No substitutions by either side, by the way.
Swansea 1-0 Cardiff
We are back under way in Swansea.

Jason Perry
Former Cardiff defender on BBC Radio Wales
Cardiff were always going to have less possession but they have to do more with it.
When Ryan Giles got that chance, I just felt he saw the keeper and just shot at goal.
The one time Cardiff didn't get near anybody, Jamie Paterson took full advantage.
What can Cardiff do to get back into the game?
Swansea 1-0 Cardiff
What an interesting half.
Cardiff started well and Ryan Giles should have put them ahead.
However, Swansea have controlled the ball and will feel they deserve to be ahead at the interval.
As a manager under pressure, Mick McCarthy now faces the team talk of his life.
Cardiff must improve. We will be back with you shortly, let's have a brew in the meantime. Milk, no sugar, for me please.

Cardiff launch two long throws and win a corner.... Swansea clear.

Former Cardiff defender on BBC Radio Wales
If one or two lose their discipline, Cardiff will get hurt.
That [Curtis Nelson clashing with Flynn Downes] was the first sign of it.
Swansea 1-0 Cardiff
We will have two minutes added on.
Swansea 1-0 Cardiff
Ciaron Brown cuts the ball out acrobatically to spot Swansea going clear.
Cardiff will be pleased to see half-time.

A few words exchanged between Russell Martin and Mick McCarthy on the sidelines.

Possession stats as we approach half-time.
Swansea 73%. Cardiff 27%.
Swansea 1-0 Cardiff
Cardiff need to press much, much higher up the pitch.
Swansea will pass the ball around in their own half all day otherwise.
Swansea 1-0 Cardiff
At 0-0, Swansea look like they are overplaying.
At 1-0, Swansea look like they are totally controlling the game.
Cardiff can't score if they can't get the ball - stats currently reading as 76% possession for home side.
