Middlesbrough 1-1 Sheff Utd
Middlesbrough right-back Isaiah Jones is some talent.
He does excellently down the flank and then sends a ball in for Riley McGree but he can't keep his shot on target.

Image source, Rex FeaturesMidway through the first period at Ewood Park and we are having the first drinks break.
Steve Bruce will be the happier of the two managers at 'quarter time' as he and Jon Dahl Tomasson come on and give some guidance to their players.
Middlesbrough 1-1 Sheff Utd
Marcus Forss' day is over and he's replaced by Middlesbrough debutant Alex Mowatt.
Have to assume that's going to see Boro change shape.
Middlesbrough 1-1 Sheff Utd
Blades are on top now.
John Fleck sends in a super cross for Rhian Brewster and his header is flying in, only for Zack Steffen in the home goal to turn it behind for the home side.
Blackburn 0-0 West Brom
Seventeen minutes on the clock and another decent chance for West Brom - Jed Wallace puts a super cross into the box and Grady Diangana heads the ball just wide.
Middlesbrough 1-1 Sheff Utd
Good save from Zack Steffen in the home goal to keep out Max Lowe's effort.
Some neat play from the Blades in the build-up.
Middlesbrough 1-1 Sheff Utd
Both teams have used one sub so far.
Have to think that how the two managers use their remaining four could prove to be pivotal in this game.
Blackburn 0-0 West Brom

The ball broke to the Chile striker but replays showed he went down without any contact on him.
It came after a lovely ball from the right by Ryan Hedges, after good work from Callum Brittain.
Middlesbrough 1-1 Sheff Utd
Wow!
What an impact that would have been!
Blades sub Rhian Brewster gets in behind and rounds home goalkeeper Zack Steffen.
Fellow sub Marc Bola gets back and forces it out for a corner.
Image source, PA MediaKyle Utterson: Excellent response from Middlesbrough who are the better team so far. Sheffield United have to be careful with so many players on unnecessary yellow cards. That could cost them later on in the match.
Middlesbrough 1-1 Sheff Utd
We're back under way on Teesside and both sides are making a change.
Skipper Billy Sharp, making his first start since March, is off for the Blades for Rhian Brewster and Dael Fry, on a booking, is replaced in the Boro backline by Marc Bola.
Blackburn 0-0 West Brom
Blackburn's Sam Gallagher's gets the first yellow card of the day after five minutes with a tug of Conor Townsend's shirt.
It's a free-kick which Rovers deal with pretty easily.
Blackburn 0-0 West Brom
West Brom haven't come to make up the numbers here. They've had most of the possession so far and have bene looking the more dangerous of the two sides so far.
Blackburn 0-0 West Brom
A minute in and West Brom force a corner, but Darnell Furlong's header is over the bar.
Blackburn 0-0 West Brom
We are under way at Ewood Park. Can Blackburn make it three wins from three, or will the Baggies get a first victory of the season?

Blackburn v West Brom (15:00)
Blackburn make just one change to their side - Scott Wharton is out injured so 17-year-old Ash Phillips makes his league debut in the heart of the Rovers defence.

Middlesbrough 1-1 Sheff Utd
Image source, Rex FeaturesHalf-time at the Riverside.
Really good fare so far.
The away side took a very early lead through Sander Berge's strike, that Boro goalkeeper Zack Steffen probably should have done better with.
Chuba Akpom levelled for the home side and they've just about had the better of it from there on.
All set for a great second half.
Middlesbrough 1-1 Sheff Utd
Rhys Norrington-Davies goes down in the Boro area looking for a penalty.
Nothing doing and the young Blades defender has to be careful as he's already been booked.
Moments later, home defender Dael Fry becomes the fifth player in the book for a pretty rubbish challenge on Iliman Ndiaye.
