    Forest look dead on their feet. What a turnaround! Second half they've been in their face, everybody working.

    John Fleck (75 mins)

    MY WORD!

    Sheffield United have turned this on its head!

    Iliman Ndaye does well to poke the ball in behind on the halfway line and George Baldock is away and running.

    He sends in a great low cross that John Fleck stabs home from a couple of yards out.

    Are we going to extra-time?

    Into the last 20 minutes now.

    Can the Reds hold on?

  4. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 70 mins

    Nott'm Forest 1-1 Sheff Utd (agg 3-2)

    The home side go to the bench for the first time.

    Joe Lolley is on and Philip Zinckernagel is off.

    Forest win a corner and it strikes Chris Basham in the midriff.

    The home fans and some players hopefully appeal for a penalty for handball but I mean, no.

    The longer this goes on as it is the nervier Nottingham Forest are going to get.

    They haven't got going in an attacking sense at all in this half.

    It looks like one or two legs on both sides are looking tired.

    The crowd is doing its best now for Forest.

    Nott'm Forest 1-1 Sheff Utd (agg 3-2)

    Forest win a corner but James Garner's delivery is over everyone in the middle.

    A real waste that.

    Nott'm Forest 1-1 Sheff Utd (agg 3-2)

    I've mentioned a couple of times this evening that injuries mean the Blades don't have a recognised striker in the team.

    They also don't really have one on the bench.

    The longer this goes on I think there's a chance that one of the big lads from the back is going to get moved forward and told to stay there.

  10. YELLOW CARDpublished at 57 mins

    Nott'm Forest 1-1 Sheff Utd (agg 3-2)

    First yellow card shown to a player this evening.

    Jack Robinson joins Blades boss Paul Heckingbottom in the book for a mistimed challenge on Brennan Johnson.

    The Wales international has been on the receiving end of a few challenges tonight.

    Nott'm Forest 1-1 Sheff Utd (agg 3-2)

    Nottingham Forest get their foot on the ball for the first time this half but a deep cross is straight Wes Foderingham in the Blades goal.

    The home side need to regain their composure here. Easier said than done of course.

    Nott'm Forest 1-1 Sheff Utd (agg 3-2)

    Oh, it's all Sheffield United now.

    They're just all over Forest.

    John Fleck sends over another corner that Forest manage to withstand but the Blades are causing so many problems with set pieces.

    It's an incredible atmosphere now. The Forest fans are so anxious, so nervous.

    Nott'm Forest 1-1 Sheff Utd (agg 3-2)

    The Blades have well and truly got their tails up now!

    They win a few corners in quick succession.

    Jack Robinson's header looks to be on target but it hits a team-mate and then James Garner puts the second one behind under pressure.

    This is the good stuff.

    That has just turned the tie on its head. That will have given United a real boost. Forest have to take the sting out of the game now.

    THIS. ISN'T. OVER!

    Sander Berge does brilliantly to make a yard for a cross after Iliman Ndiaye had got in behind the home defence.

    The Norwegian's low centre is swept home by Morgan Gibbs-White.

    GAME ON!

    We're back under way.

    Sheffield United have got 45 minutes to pull off the distinctly improbable.

    There are two kinds of fans aren't there?

    There's the "this is going to be our year, nothing can go wrong now" and the "things NEVER work out for us, somehow SOMETHING is going to go wrong".

    This is a play-off semi-final and at the moment I'm watching three or four players let it go by.
