Everton initially clear the free-kick but then Will Evans hooks a clever pass back into the box.

But back-up goalkeeper Asmir Begovic is quickly off his line to collect.

keithmc: Once again another ref with no bottle. Start booking these Boreham Wood time wasters

Now then. Boreham Wood have a free-kick in the Everton half and the first chance to put it into the mixer.

Boreham Wood boss Luke Garrard is living every moment of this tie. He is a constant presence in his technical area, pointing, shouting, twitching his fingers nervously. He has just demonstrated to one of his players the correct way to shoulder charge. Frank Lampard is stood, arms crossed. I can only see the back of his head, but I suspect his expression isn’t joyous.

Everton have not got their wide players on the ball and they are not stretching the game.

They have to do that against a team that is not as good or as fit as them.

Andros Townsend's delivery so far tonight has been wretched.

Once again he looks for a team-mate at the back post but sends it way too long.

Frank Lampard looks down at the turf, he looks cool but will be raging inside.

Yep, all very slow and predictable from Everton. Boreham Wood are sitting back and you have to say, they are comfortable.

Frank Lampard hasn’t shown a flicker of emotion so far here on the touchline. Paul Clement on the other hand has twice got out of his seat to angrily voice frustrations, the latest instruction is for Everton to play much quicker.

Poor free-kick from Andros Townsend and you can hear the groans of frustrations in the stands.

Boreham Wood are conceding a few free-kicks in dangerous positions.

Salomon Rondon is bundled over and Everton have another opportunity to swing one into the box.

Lampard and Garrard on the touchline today.

Wonder if there is enough space for the two to operate in the same area? 😂😂😂

Every time Nathan Patterson gets on the ball there is a glowing applause from the crowd.

Boreham Wood aren't seeing much of the ball, but their goalkeeper Taye Ashby-Hammond hasn't exactly had much to do.

See out the opening period and then come out a little, is that the plan?

Everton have had 86% possession so far.

Everton are getting lots of joy in the final third.

They work a short corner with Anthony Gordon finding Jarrad Branthwaite, but the defender clips a first-time shot wide.

Salomon Rondon has started off sharply.

This time he shoots wide from exactly the same position he did not want Abdoulaye Doucoure doing the same from just a couple of minutes ago.

Strikers eh? Want all the limelight.

Such is the brittle confidence of the Everton fans, there are already a few murmurs of discontent when a player sends a pass astray or clears aimlessly. In contrast, the Boreham Wood fans have yet to set to sit down or stop singing. On more than one occasion, they’ve launched into that famous repurposing of Que Sera Sera about them going to Wembley.

Poor from Anthony Gordon, hitting his free-kick straight into the wall.

Got no elevation on it.

Beautiful flick from Salomon Rondon, into the path of Anthony Gordon.

The impressive Everton youngster is then tripped on the edge of the 'D' and the hosts have a free-kick in a very good position.

Great ball through to Abdoulaye Doucoure but the Frenchman smashes wide from an impossible angle.

Salomon Rondon in the middle of the box is furious, screaming for the pull back.
