    Anass Zaroury is hauled down into the advertising hoardings by the goal as Burnley go on the attack.

    He's cleared to carry on but the video hoarding itself is more worse for wear. I'm no technician but it looks broke to me.

    That's a blow to Blackburn. They don't tend to lose many games when Sam Gallagher is in the side.

    His height is a loss both in defence and in attack.

  3. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 52 mins

    Burnley 0-0 Blackburn

    Despite indicating he was okay to continue, Sam Gallagher is forced off for Blackburn.

    He's replaced by Jack Vale just as Burnley almost take the lead, with Callum Brittain blocking Josh Cullen's attetmpted shot from close range.

    Sam Gallagher limps to the sidelines to continue his treatment.

    Looks like a cut on his knee which is nasty. Blackburn want to bring him off but Gallagher's indicating he's okay to continue.

    Confusion.

    Sam Gallagher's down for Blackburn and is receiving treatment to his knee.

    There's a break in play while he's seen to.

    Burnley defend Blackburn's corner but Rovers keep the ball alive and whip a succession of balls into the box which the hosts deal with.

    Blackburn win possession back and now it's the opposite of the first half, with the visitors dominating the ball.

    It's Blackburn's first shot. It's good coming out of traps quickly and asking a question of the goalkeeper.

    That's better from Blackburn!

    Jake Garrett puts a long ball into the path of Ben Brereton Diaz, with the Chile international rushing into the Burnley box.

    He then fires from a tight angle and forces a save from Arijanet Muric and wins a corner.

    Right then, we're back under way at Turf Moor.

    We had a cagey first half. Will that continue into the second? A spot at the top of the Championship is at stake.

    Burnley get us going.

    Burnley have dominated everything but Blackburn have done everything right defensively.

    It's been a cagey affair but Blackburn have defended really well.

    Blackburn's keeper has been tested on a couple of occasions but have Burnley done enough to be in front? Probably not.

    We said before the game that it wouldn't be won in the first 10 minutes.

    All square at the break, with Thomas Kaminski's succession of saves at the end of the first half the pick of the action in a pretty cagey first 45 minutes.

    Burnley have dominated. Blackburn have defended well. It's a stalemate, but not the most appealing match if you're a neutral.

    One minute of time added on.

    Is there a goal in this one before half-time?

    Burnley are finishing this half strongly. The keeper has made two brilliant saves.

    The delivery for both chances was excellent. Is it only a matter of time?

  15. GREAT SAVE!published at 43 mins

    Burnley 0-0 Blackburn

    What a couple of saves from Thomas Kaminski!

    The free-kick is sent into the Blackburn box and Ben Brereton Diaz looks to handle just before Taylor Harwood-Bellis's header tests Kaminski who makes the save.

    Then soon after, Ashley Barnes forces him into another fingertip save to keep it goalless.

    Sensational stuff.

    Vitinho wins a free kick and Lewis Travis goes into the book for his trouble having brought him down.

    Burnley win a free-kick in a dangerous area..

    Both teams know what this game means and it's a bit cagey.

    Blackburn are trying to stop Burnley and when Blackburn have the ball, Burnley are pressing them trying to get it back.

    Blackburn have protected Thomas Kaminski really well but they've not offered anything at the other end.

    Josh Cullen plays a wayward lofted pass back to Ian Maatsen in the Burnley half which goes out for a Blackburn throw-in.

    Rather than go on the attack, the visitors work the ball about midfield, with Ben Brereton Diaz somehow flagged offside not a million miles away from the centre circle.

    It's been that kind of first half, folks. Edgy. Neither side wanting to give anything away and the action confined to a lot of passing.

    You would have thought that Blackburn will have to change their gameplan at some point.

    They string together a set of passes and enter the Burnley half for the first time in a while, but they can't work a shot away inside the box before the hosts deal with the danger.

    Well it's been all Burnley in this first half so far but so far the hosts haven't hit the target.

    Blackburn are defending well and their latest effort sees them stop Ashley Barnes before he can run into the box.
