Kieffer Moore bears down on goal but Kyle Naughton makes the angle tight and it's an easy save for Ben Hamer.

Cardiff have been the better side in the first quarter of the contest and now Swansea defender Ryan Bennett is down injured.

Swansea are constantly looking to Ethan Laird. Cardiff are struggling to contain him.

Aden Flint heads wide from a corner.

Swansea are leaving two players forward at Cardiff set-pieces, perhaps trying to turn the Bluebirds' biggest strength into a weakness.

Swansea have looked the nervier of the two sides in the opening stages, although that might have changed had Ethan Laird's appeals for an early penalty not been ignored.

Cardiff were fortunate there, but since then they have been the more menacing side, with a number of set-pieces already going into the home penalty area.

If they continue to give Cardiff opportunities like that, Swansea may well come unstuck.

We had an intense start here, but things have settled down a little now, Swansea in possession, as you would expect.

It's a super start from the lads up front for Cardiff.

In games like this, moments like Ryan Giles' miss will haunt you.

Seen a few replays now of that earlier incident. Swansea should have had a penalty, there is no angle that shows Curtis Nelson getting the ball before he makes contact with Ethan Laird.

Joe Ralls hits a 25-yard free-kick straight at Ben Hamer.

Swansea might have had a penalty, Cardiff should have scored.

Intense start here, end-to-end.

You expect Ryan Giles to do so much better than that.

It's a great ball from Kieffer Moore and Giles just needs to dink it over the keeper.

Huge chance!

A long ball from Cardiff finds Kieffer Moore who slips in Ryan Giles, but his shot was saved by Ben Hamer.

He was clear and through on goal, he has to do better.

The backline of Cardiff are staying high because they don't want to allow that space in front.

They have to be disciplined. Press together or drop and keep your shape.

Everything is as it should be.

The atmosphere is fierce, the ground is full and the tackles are flying in.

I've really, really missed this sort of thing!

Clever free-kick from Cardiff finds Kieffer Moore in space, but his cross is cut out.

It's been a frenetic start at the Swansea.com Stadium.

There was a lot of conflab between referee and linesman there and I don't think either of them were convinced with the decision either way.

Swansea want a penalty!

Curtis Nelson tackles Ethan Laird and I'll tell you what, he didn't get much of the ball.

Lucky for Cardiff we don't have VAR in the Championship.

Jason Perry

Already you can see what Swansea are doing.

They're keeping a high line [at defensive set-pieces] because they don't want Cardiff to get that header on goal.

Cardiff will be hoping for plenty of chances to test Swansea aerially.

They stood up well to their first examination from Mick McCarthy's giant side.
