    You’ve got to say, whenever Stockport have had clear opportunities, Carlisle have been in the right place at the right time to stop them.

    Veteran Carlisle skipper Paul Huntington is down with what I assume is cramp.

    Admittedly, I'm not a doctor.

    That's a chance!

    Nice play from Stockport.

    Big cross is switched from right to left and Will Collar heads down for the arriving Ryan Croasdale.

    He makes a decent connection but Corey Whelan gets the block on.

    Both teams have managed extra time really well so far.

    It’s a really tough ask to play this many minutes on such a big occasion with the hot weather.

    No one is sitting back as such, they're just cancelling each other out.

    Halfway through the first half of extra time.

    Owen Moxon sends a deep free kick too close to Ben Hinchliffe in the Stockport goal. He gathers with ease.

    Stockport's Will Collar lands awkwardly after an aerial challenge on halfway.

    He's going to carry on but that looked sore.

    At one point it looked like Carlisle weren't going to find a way back into the game.

    But their bravery to keep going and a bit of quality changed everything.

    Carlisle 1-1 Stockport

    For the second time in two days we will have extra time in a play-off final.

    Omari Patrick levelled late on for the Cumbrians with a crisp low strike after a clearance fell perfectly for him.

    Could this be set for penalties as well?

    Carlisle 1-1 Stockport

    There was a stoppage just there for a Carlisle defender to get some treatment so I think we'll easily be heading into the 100th minute.

    Stockport are absolutely reeling here and Carlisle sensing the opportunity.
