    Shake of the head and shinpad taken off. Luton midfielder Henri Lansbury is done for the night.

    Tom Lockyer is on in his stead.

    Ah, Luton might HAVE to make a change now.

    Midfielder Henri Lansbury is down in the centre circle and getting some treatment.

    Looks to be on his calf but I'm no doctor.

    I wonder if Luton might look to make a change soon.

    Huddersfield have almost got a monopoly on possession at the moment.

    Wayne Ellis: This ref seems to be making it up as he goes along.

    Both sides had strong first-half penalty appeals waved away - is referee Robert Jones at least being consistent?

    Bit more space out there now for Huddersfield to just put their foot on the ball and move it around a bit.

    In the first half they were basically just playing on the counter, and to good effect too, but this half they're showing a different side to their game.

    Duane Holmes is really coming into the game now for Huddersfield.

    He's being braver in possession and braver in driving forward.

  8. YELLOW CARDpublished at 57 mins

    Luton 1-1 Huddersfield

    Luton's Kal Naismith is the first man in the book.

    He drags Duane Holmes, who has become far more influential this half to the floor 40 yards out and that's about as clear a booking as you'll see.

    Huddersfield are coming back into this.

    They're getting more of the ball in midfield and they're moving it around with real purpose.

  10. Postpublished at 54 mins

    Luton 1-1 Huddersfield

    The away side win a corner after some nice passing in midfield and then Danny Ward shows lovely feet to turn his man and get a shot away from 20 yards out.

    The first corner is delivered to the near post and cleared. The second one is sent into a great area in the middle but the home side get it away to safety.

    Kal Naimsith chips a deep corner to the back post and Tom Lees turns it behind under pressure from Sonny Bradley.

    It should be another corner, but it isn't, referee gives a goal kick.

    Huddersfield are trying to double up on Sonny Bradley from corners, after his goal in the first half.

    But it still doesn't seem to be working.

    Luton 1-1 Huddersfield

    The home side make a decent start to this half.

    The first half ebbed and flowed but they certainly had more of the possession.

    The Hatters fans are ramping up the noise in their atmospheric old ground.

    Rob Gould: I would love to see Harry Cornick smashing a goal in at Old Trafford or the Eithad next season! Seeing teams like Arsenal and Chelsea coming to the Kenny! Split loyalties when it would be Liverpool playing them!

    Luton's Kenilworth Road home is certainly a different experience to some of the giant stadiums in the Premier League. The Hatters do have planning permission to build a new 23,000-seat stadium but work is yet to commence on the site.

    HT: Luton 1-1 Huddersfield

    Matthew Glennon
    Former Huddersfield keeper on BBC Radio Leeds

    I think Luton's gameplan is just working a little bit more - they're getting into the box more.

    But I think Huddersfield's quality is showing more, as they've had the better chances.

    Luton keep grinding away and hopefully in the second half we'll see more one and two touch stuff from Huddersfield, as that's how they'll win.

  17. 'Luton looked more dangerous team'published at 20:38 British Summer Time 13 May 2022

    I do think Luton have had the better chances.

    They've had more possession, more shots on target - they've looked like the more dangerous team.

    Never mind the players, I need a bit of a rest after that half!

    Huddersfield probably should have had a penalty inside the opening 10 seconds when James Bree pushed Harry Toffolo in the box.

    They then took the lead through Danel Sinani's excellently taken low strike from a devastating counter-attack.

    Luton took some time to regain their composure but levelled when Sonny Bradley volleyed in Kal Naismith's well-taken free-kick and maybe should have had a penalty when Naby Sarr tangled with Cameron Jerome in the area.

    So much for cagey first legs!

    Pass the jaffa cakes...

    We'll have two minutes of time added on to end this pulsating half.

  20. Postpublished at 43 mins

    Luton 1-1 Huddersfield

    And now Luton go close!

    Cameron Jerome does well down their left and then sends in a low cross that Henri Lansbury runs on to just slot home - but Naby Sarr is there to get the block.

    Huddersfield's Jon Russell had the ball taken off him in the Luton half to start the attack for the home side.
