    Wow. It doesn't matter whether he could have stayed on his feet, there's contact.

    Well, it gave Paul Tierney something to do in the VAR booth.

    No penalty.

    Harry Toffolo was booked for diving by Jon Moss.

    Harry Toffolo chases a cut-back from Duane Holmes into the Forest box and then tumbles to the deck following a challenge by Jack Colback.

    It's a bit clumsy from Colback. VAR is looking at it...

    It's been a lot of Huddersfield in the second half, but Forest goalkeeper Brice Samba has been pretty well untroubled.

    Huddersfield 0-1 Nottm Forest

    Huddersfield fail to sufficiently clear the ball from their end, and space opens up for Forest to attack.

    Brennan Johnson finds half a yard on the edge of the area and sets his sights, but drags his shot wide on the lush Wembley grass, rather than drilling through the ball on his right foot.

  6. Can Rhodes make the difference?published at 17:57 British Summer Time 29 May 2022

    Keinan Davis has led the line well for Forest today and was involved in their goal but he's not really been able to upset the Terriers back three as boss Steve Cooper would have wanted and it's not a surprise to see Cooper make a change, with Huddersfield having taken the initiative in the game.

    That's Carlos Corberan's full hand played for Huddersfield now, unless the game goes to extra time.

    Veteran striker Jordan Rhodes was in the Town team that won here against Sheffield United in the 2012 League One play-off final.

    Could the former Scotland man have a big say in this game yet?

    Jordan Rhodes goes shoulder to shoulder with Djed Spence, who uses his wiry frame to brush the Huddersfield striker off the ball.

    However, Forest are the side now struggling to make the ball stick at the top end, with Town snatching back possession and applying the squeeze.

    To be fair, Duane Holmes probably thinks the same of Derby that Forest fans do, given his exit from Pride Park.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 67 mins

    Boos for ex-Derby man Duane Holmes from the Forest end, as is expected with him coming on for Huddersfield. Danel Sinani is withdrawn.

    Play-off semi-final matchwinner Jordan Rhodes is also on, with Danny Ward making way.

    It was possibly a 50-50 call on whether Keinan Davis or Sam Surridge would start, Davis got the nod and Surridge made the bench.

    Davis gets a warm round of applause for his tireless approach, more graft than craft.

    Surridge gets his chance to impress under the big arch.

    Huddersfield 0-1 Nottm Forest

    Neatly moved from left to right by Huddersfield and suddenly Sorba Thomas goes up through the gears and takes on Jack Colback.

    His low cross pings away and Harry Toffolo's high centre is no danger either.

    Forest have three big centre halves who are happy to have it pumped in like that, so I'm surprised Carlos Corberan has stuck with that as a tactic.

    Huddersfield 0-1 Nottm Forest

    Huddersfield look a bit flat when in possession, there's not a great deal of movement.

    Jon Russell has almost taken up a quarterback role, sitting deep and spraying passes.

    Sorba Thomas is his 'wide receiver' to borrow a bit of Gridiron speak. And he's the outlet ball at the moment.

    Makes it easy to read for Forest though.

    Cometh the hour and all that.

    Huddersfield do well to keep Keinan Davis' marauding at bay, and James Garner's curled effort is precise but easy for Town keeper Lee Nicholls.

    The Terriers are enjoying possession but Forest well set.

    Huddersfield 0-1 Nottm Forest

    Huddersfield move the ball between the lines and Jon Russell is already making his presence felt.

    He slides the ball out to Sorba Thomas, who is bombing forward, but the cross is cleared.

    Russell certainly adds some presence and size to the Huddersfield midfield department.

    It's certainly a better game now. Huddersfield are passing it crisply.

    It feels like a spell that Forest have to take stock and get through.

    We've got a real game here now.

    Huddersfield have totally upped the tempo in this half and they're starting to cause Forest real concern.

    That said, there is space opening up for the Reds too with Town having to be more bold.

    Jon Russell will give Huddersfield more physicality in the middle of the park.

    Huddersfield enjoying a purple patch.

    Sorba Thomas drifts in a cross from the right and it's turned behind by Djed Spence.

    Jonathan Hogg meets the cross at the near post, but it pings off his head and zooms over.

    Town make a change. Jon Russell on for Naby Sarr.

    Reshuffle time for the Terriers.

    Philip Zinckernagel gets a booking after stumbling into Lewis O'Brien as he burst for the box.

    The free-kick causes a few seconds of panic but sails just wide.

    Keinan Davis rolls in a cross which is cleared but Forest keep up the pressure.

    Djed Spence drops a shoulder and surges to the byeline, but his cross is blocked behind.

    Forest can't make anything of the set-piece, but Spence is alert to danger at the other end.
