    Stockport goalkeeper Ben Hinchliffe is off his line well to grab a floated corner.

    He's had a fine game once more today.

    Fantastic save from Ben Hinchcliffe in the Stockport goal.

    One of the best I've seen this season.

    To pull off a save like that at this point in the game is incredible.

    Antoni Sarcevic is off and Connor Lemonheigh-Evans is on.

    Sarcevic took a penalty in the Hatters' semi-final win over Salford but he just had nothing left to give here.

    That’s what I mean about switching-off in those tired moments.

    He directs the header towards goal and Ben Hinchliffe does unbelievably well.

    Carlisle 1-1 Stockport

    SENSATIONAL STOP!

    Owen Moxon drills the corner to the near post where Krystian Dennis makes great connection with his glanced header.

    Stockport keeper Ben Hinchliffe launches himself across his goal and claws it out.

    That’s the benefit of being 6ft 9in!

    Tomas Holy's made two vital saves.

    That’s heading for the top corner and he’s used every inch of himself to stop that.

    I can not imagine how tired those players must be on this baking hot day at the end of an incredibly long season.

    I'm shattered and I've spent the whole day sat down.

  15. GREAT SAVE!published at 107 mins

    Carlisle 1-1 Stockport

    Tomas Holy has not had much to do in the Carlisle goal today.

    That's a fine save to keep out Jack Stretton's 20-yarder though.

    Deary me.

    I can't get my head around it.

    15 minutes of football left and possibly penalties to decide promotion to League One.

    It's borderline barbaric.

    Stockport midfielder Will Collar is in the book for kicking the ball away.

    I know it's hot down there but come on. What a way to get booked in extra time.
