    The moment just before with the handball, it was a similar ball and this one finds the feet of Omari Patrick and that’s the composure we were talking about earlier.

    To be fair to him he passes it into the bottom corner and it’s an excellent, composed finish in such a high-profile game.

    It had been coming over the last five minutes!

    League One is still on for Carlisle.

    They need to stay mentally switched on now.

    GOAL: Carlisle 1-1 Stockportpublished at 84 mins

    Omari Patrick

    It doesn't matter! They've equalised anyway!

    It looked like a Carlisle shot may have been blocked by a hand but VAR say it was fine.

    Moments later the Cumbrians come again and a ball into the area is half-cleared to Omari Patrick who keeps his cool to leather home a low shot from 15 yards out.

    Game on!

    Huge moment!

    Could this be a penalty for Carlisle?!

    Kyle Knoyle clears Jon Mellish's shot off the line and the Cumbrians claim it's handball. VAR checks, nothing given.

    Right, this is it now.

    Carlisle bring on 21-goal top scorer Krystian Dennis for Jack Armer.

    Dennis suffered a nasty shin injury in a training ground accident before the play-off semi-final second leg with Bradford.

    Isaac Oloafe is off for Jack Stretton for Stockport.

    Myles Hippolyte has definitely got that in him.

    He tries things and he’s a firm believer in his own ability.

    Looking at the body language now Stockport have got their chests out and are looking to get another goal.

    Carlisle are looking a little tired out there.

    Oooft, this would have been some goal.

    Stockport forward Myles Hippolyte goes for an overhead kick from 18 yards and it drops just over the bar.

    Another double sub for Carlisle.

    They've got to roll the dice now.

    John-Kymani Gordon and Callum Guy are off and Jordan Gibson and Taylor Charters are on.

    Stoppage in play as Carlisle defender Corey Whelan gets some treatment after Myles Hippolyte clattered into him trying to get on to a ball in the area.

    He looks a bit banged up but is going to carry on for now.

    Carlisle have got to go for it now.

    They need to commit and take the Stockport players on.

    The players will have a drinks break on a baking hot day in the capital.

    Last chance for the managers to get some tactical instructions across.

    Peter Humfrey: Stevenage fan hoping Carlisle join us in League One next season. Having said that I wanted Hibs, Dortmund, and Coventry to win yesterday so I may just have jinxed the Blues.

    Carlisle 0-1 Stockport

    Stockport look to race away after clearing a corner.

    Isaac Olaofe pins his ears back and charges forward.

    Joel Senior does really well to stay with him and get a big tackle in.

    Carlisle 0-1 Stockport

    Callum Camps is encouraged to take on a shot 40 yards from goal by the Stockport fans.

    He sees his name in lights.

    He sends his shot about 20 yards over the bar.

    It's a massive chance!

    He's almost in the middle of the goal. He should be scoring there.

    The game just woke up.

    This is the sort of game we want to see, whether they are able to keep it going or not because of the heat I don't know but it's opening up now.

    Carlisle 0-1 Stockport

    Should be 2-0!

    Chris Hussey swings in a beauty of a free kick and Akil Wright has the freedom of the Carlisle penalty area.

    The defender makes a good connection but sends his header wide of the post.

    HUGE chance.
