    Huge penalty shout for Solihull immediately after the restart.

    Luke Waterfall gets the wrong side of Andrew Dallas and there's a coming together in the box. The ref waves play on.

    They were looking for that incisive pass and who would've thought it would come from Andy Smith.

    It was a lovely pass - Jordan Maguire-Drew let it through his legs and it's brilliant composure from John McAtee.

    I thought it was going wide from our angle but it's gone right in the bottom corner.

    It had been coming.

    Solihull mess up a clearance, Andy Smith intercepts and plays the ball forward, sub Jordan Maguire-Drew lets it run through his legs and star man John McAtee is through one-on-one.

    One touch and bang, the bottom corner ripples. Game on and a party atmosphere at the London Stadium.

    And again headed away. This time Solihull sub Danny Newton is first to the ball.

    A Jordan Cropper long throw coming up for Grimsby.

    First swap for Grimsby. Erico Sousa is replaced by Jordan Maguire-Drew.

    Nope, the corner is headed away, and the second phase is ultimately claimed by Moors keeper Joe McDonnell after some scrappy play in the box.

    Solihull 1-0 Grimsby

    John McAtee is a live wire for Grimsby, sprinting down the right before winning his side a corner through a deflected cross.

    Yet another Grimsby set-piece. Can they give their side something to cheer from this one?

    And the corner is easily headed away.

    We will have extra time and then penalties should we require them this afternoon.

    Now I don't want to suggest anything either way, but I will say I'm getting huge 2021 National League play-off final vibes.

    I was on the live text for that match, where Torquay United keeper Lucas Covolan scored a last-minute equaliser to take the game to extra-time.

    Meanwhile, at London Stadium, a blocked cross gives Grimsby a corner.

    One hour played, 30 minutes to go.

    Are Solihull holding on to this one? Like if you agree, dislike if you don't.

    Goalscorer Kyle Hudlin's day is sadly cut short through injury.

    He walks off, replaced by Danny Newton. We wish him well.

    Kyle Hudlin is down again, suffering from that earlier knock to the head.

    I expect he'll be withdrawn now.

  15. CLOSE!published at 57 mins

    Solihull 1-0 Grimsby

    Also immediately a Solihull chance.

    Ryan Barnett crosses in from the right, but Moors' Andrew Dallas, who has a free header, steers the ball well wide from close range.

    Was that the opening?

    We restart.

  17. Postpublished at 55 mins

    Solihull 1-0 Grimsby

    Still we wait for play to resume.

    Both players are sitting up which is a great sign.

  18. ouch!

    Solihull 1-0 Grimsby

    On the break, Andrew Dallas goes clean through on goal, onside, but play is stopped immediately for a head injury.

    Solihull's Kyle Hudlin and Grimsby's Ryan Taylor are both down after clashing in the air.

    The right call but man is that a frustrating one for Solihull.

  19. CLOSE!published at 51 mins

    Solihull 1-0 Grimsby

    Grimsby are peppering this goal at the start of the second half.

    A cross drops to John McAtee who strikes a volley from range. But his dipper only just goes over the bar. Close.

  20. CLOSE!published at 50 mins

    Solihull 1-0 Grimsby

    So, so close!

    Grimsby think they've levelled as Gavan Holohan curls a cutback goalwards.

    The Mariners' Harry Clifton is ahead of the ball and sticks out a toe to deflect it towards the corner, wrong-footing the keeper.

    But his effort rolls narrowly wide.
