Jamie Walker is down again.

This time he's clutching his head in the aftermath of heading a Carlisle clearance back towards their box.

Amazing.

Jamie Walker goes to ground and the Bradford man expects a free-kick after Carlisle's Jack Armer goes racing in.

He then reaches out for the ball thinking he'll be given a swift free-kick which doesn't arrive.

Brad Halliday lays up the ball to Andy Cook as Bradford waste no time in breaking into the Carlisle half after the restart.

He turns and shoots from outside the box but it's diverted away for a corner which is immediately headed away by the visitors.

Right come on then, let's have another 45 minutes.

Carlisle trail Bradford by a single goal. Play-off football dictates we should have a stellar half of football.

Neither side has made a change at the break.

The play-offs are of course a very serious business but I feel duty bound to report a very amusing moment from the first half.

A fan went to climb over his seat to go to the concourse and in lifting his leg over somehow kicked someone's flatcap off their head and sent it flying like a frisbee down about eight rows.

Entertainment on and off the pitch!

This didn't look great for Jamie Walker.

He looks to be in real pain after going down having taken a shot from about 25 yards out that was blocked.

The Scot was clinical in taking the only goal of the game so far and came close to a second when he fizzed a low shot wide of the far post.

He hobbled off at the end of the half and I wonder if we'll see him after the break.

Jamie Walker's goal is the difference at the break.

Bradford lead but Carlisle have shown some promising signs when on the attack.

I think we're in for a decent second half.

Jamie Walker is down and the Bradford man looks like he's in some discomfort.

He appears to have done something in the process of turning and shooting on the edge of the Carlisle box. He might also have got a whack in the calf from Joe Garner as the Carlisle man tried to clear.

There's another break in play as he's seen to.

Omari Patrick is picked out on the left flank as Carlisle press Bradford again.

He gets into the box but he's swiftly dispossessed and a promising attack comes to an end.

Sam Stubbs concedes a free-kick deep inside the Bradford half of the field having brought down Alfie McCalmont.

Now would be a good time for Carlisle to level.

Carlisle have got a foothold in this now, albeit they trail.

The Cumbrians had to weather a bit of a storm after the Bradford goal but they're dominating the play at the moment.

Boss Paul Simpson will be pleased with how they have got into this game when it was threatening to run away from them.

Time winding down to half-time, now.

A jeer goes up as Carlisle concede a throw-in.

The atmosphere certainly hasn't eased off since kick-off.

Carlisle float a corner into the Bradford box and quite clearly rebounds off the head of Sam Stubbs.

The visitors should win another corner but a goal kick is given.

Not quite sure how that was allowed to happen, if I'm honest.

Liam Ridehalgh puts in a pretty late challenge on Joe Garner in the aftermath of Garner's yellow card.

Nothing given.

There's a bit of needle in this play-off tie, now.

Joe Garner goes into the book now.
