Bolton 0-0 Barnsley
Barnsley full-back Bobby Thomas swings a cross in for Devante Cole but it's behind the striker and he can only send his header harmlessly wide.
Tykes goalkeeper Harry Isted is down getting a bit of treatment.

Bolton 0-0 Barnsley
Some good work from Elias Kachunga to twice win the ball back on the halfway line for the home side.
Bolton started brightly in the first half but it was the away side who had the better of the play in the first 45 minutes.
KICK-OFF
Bolton 0-0 Barnsley
Righteo, we're back under way.

What's the maddest play-off game you remember?
Matthew Grayson: My suggestions for maddest play-off games both involve Sheffield United. 15th May 2003 against Forest and 11th May 2015 vs Swindon. Both mental!
Both sides of the coin there for the Blades - ecstasy and heartbreak. The other half of Sheffield endured the former yesterday...

Chesterfield 1-0 Notts County
Chesterfield made a dream start to the National League promotion final at Wembley.
Andrew Dallas hammered home from the penalty spot after just five minutes to put the Spireites in front.
Long way to go in this one though.

Bolton need players to support Charles
HT: Bolton 0-0 Barnsley
Keith Hill
Former Bolton and Barnsley boss on BBC Radio Manchester
Both sides have defended well.
Bolton have got to attack better and get players closer to Dion Charles.
They've dropped a little deep and left Charles up against three Barnsley defenders.
Barnsley have executed their gameplan as well as they could've, without putting Bolton under too much pressure.
HALF-TIME
Bolton 0-0 Barnsley
Honours even so far, but the away side have had the better of it.
No major chances to speak of but plenty of endeavour from both sides.
Tykes midfielder Adam Phillips hammered a fierce shot over the bar from range and Trotters goalkeeper James Trafford had to be off his line quickly to close out the angle for Reds stiker Slobodan Tedic.
All to play for after the break.
INJURY TIME
Bolton 0-0 Barnsley
One minute added on at the end of this closely-fought first half.

Bolton 0-0 Barnsley
As Barnsley John has just pointed out there, this game is slightly cagier than last night's madcap game from the Weston Homes Stadium.
James Trafford watches a Nicky Cadden strike from range all the way into his gloves after the home side half-clear a Barnsley corner.

Barnsley John: Cagey game so far. No-one wants to do a Sheffield Wednesday.
Harsh, John, but also true...

Bolton 0-0 Barnsley
Barnsley have had the better of things so far.
Bolton respond by just putting together a little spell of possession and Dion Charles win a free-kick for the home side about 40 yards out.
It's stood up to the back stick and headed behind for a Trotters corner that comes to nought.

Bolton 0-0 Barnsley
Nice play from Barnsley striker Devante Cole.
He shows good strength to roll his marker but can't keep his shot on target.
Dad Andrew, formerly of Manchester United, would have liked that bit of play.
Off and running at Wembley
Chesterfield 0-0 Notts County
The National League promotion final between Chesterfield and Notts County is under way at the home of football.
Notts finished the regular season on an amazing 107 points but were edged out by Wrexham in the race for the title and automatic promotion.
Chesterfield finished just one place lower but were a huge 23 points further back - who will secure their place in the EFL this afternoon?

'Absolutely superb goalkeeping'
Bolton 0-0 Barnsley
Keith Hill
Former Bolton and Barnsley boss on BBC Radio Manchester
I think Bolton keeper James Trafford has just read the situation - he's read what Slobodan Tedic was going to do.
He was always going to try and lift it over him.
It's absolutely superb goalkeeping.

Oooft, that was travelling!
Bolton head a long throw clear to the edge of the area and Adam Phillips moves smoothly on to it before crunching a shot over the bar.
Moments later home keeper James Trafford has to be on his mettle to come off his line and thwart Slobadan Tedic.

Bolton 0-0 Barnsley
Both these sides like to keep the ball on the deck and move it through the thirds.
But they also have players who can hurl a long throw into the box.
You need to have plenty of strings to your bow to be successful in the third tier.

Bolton 0-0 Barnsley
It's a warm day in Lancashire (and indeed much of the country of course) today.
After a bright start there was a bit of a lull but it's really getting going again now.
Post update
Bolton 0-0 Barnsley
Panic at the back for Bolton now!
Luca Connell makes a meaty connection with a free-kick from miles out and James Trafford can only parry it into a dangerous area.
A couple of Tykes players try and turn it goalwards before it is cleared away.
Post update
Bolton 0-0 Barnsley
Bolton like to keep the ball but they're also not shy of going long and getting Barnsley running towards their own goal.
A ball into the channel forces Mads Andersen to play it behind for a corner and the ensuing set-piece causes chaos.
George Johnston makes a decent connection with the bouncing ball but Liam Kitching blocks it before hacking it away.
Post update
Bolton 0-0 Barnsley
Both managers know what it takes to be successful in the play-offs.
Bolton boss Ian Evatt was part of the Blackpool team that won promotion to the Premier League at Wembley in 2010 and Barnsley counterpart Michael Duff did the same with Burnley in 2009.
Lot of teams that start with B there.
