Well, we're going to bid you all farewell from East Anglia for this evening.

But remember, all the FA Cup first round ties will be available to follow across the BBC this weekend.

More details on this page.

For now, thanks for being with us and hope you enjoyed the return of the world's longest-running knockout competition.

Colchester captain Luke Chambers reflects on an enjoyable night for his side.

The 36-year-old says he "loved every minute of the occasion and the atmosphere".

He will have an interested eye on Monday night's draw for the second round.

All done and dusted in west Suffolk.

Colchester United avoid adding AFC Sudbury to their list of non-league conquerors in recent seasons with a very professional display.

Five minutes added time being played.

A first corner of the game for Sudbury as Shamal George has to get down at his near post to push behind a low shot from Joe Grimwood.

Corner sadly comes to nothing for the hosts.

Last knockings of this tie now.

Sudbury still bravely plodding on trying to get a goal to send the packed house home with something to cheer.

A couple of yellow cards handed out.

Shamal George gets one for timewasting in Colchester's goal while Sudbury full-back George Keys is a touch late with a challenge on Frank Nouble.

Luke Hannant meanwhile flashes a shot over the crossbar for Colchester after Noah Chilvers ball across from the left.

Sudbury still plugging away.

Cruis Ny Adzayo runs towards the edge of the penalty area and then fires a right-footed shot across the face of goal.

Jamie Shaw makes way for Sudbury to be replaced by Dan Gilchrist.

Colchester meanwhile send on Luke Hannant to replace goalscorer Sylvester Jasper.

A fine night's work from the Fulham loanee.

Looking haead, Colchester will have to wait until Monday night to find out who they will face in the second round.

The draw will take place after Dagenham & Redbridge face Salford City that night in the last first round tie.

A triple substitution from Colchester boss Hayden Mullins after that third goal.

Coming on is former West Ham striker Frank Nouble amongst others while the experienced Cole Skuse makes way.

Great delivery from the right by Reece Harris but his fellow full-back George Keys couldn't quite connect for a telling touch at the far post.

Closer for Sudbury.

Sudbury win a free-kick in an advanced postion after Cole Skuse fails to keep up with the hosts' skipper Lewis O'Malley's surging run forward.

Can they produce something here?

Luke Hipkin replaces Marley Andrews meanwhile.

Another member of the ex-Ipswich contingent in Colchester's line-up, steady-as-they-go midfielder Cole Skuse, lays on another ball for Armando Dobra to try his luck from range.

Well over the crossbar and nearly into the car park behind is the end result on that particular occasion.

Armando Dobra continuing to show his quick feet and pacey movement for Colchester coming forward.

But the ball not just sitting down for him to wrap his right foot around a shot enough to test Josh Blunkell.

Colchester then force a couple more corners in quick succession.

Sudbury's latest attempt to send in a dep free-kick is thwarted by Luke Chambers making a commanding headed clearance for Colchester.

The former Ipswich and Nottingham Forest captain hasn't been called upon too much so far this evening, but he has known where to be when required.

Sudbury still plugging away trying to be strong and physical with Colchester.

Isn't always translating in to seeing much of the ball, but it is pushing Colchester back a bit more in this second half.

First change of the night for Sudbury.

Shane Temple makes way up top to be replaced by Jake Clowsley.
