    It’s been a very confident start from Wrexham. They’ve kept possession very well and when Yeovil have had the ball Wrexham have won it back well.

    Wrexham's James McClean gets some space down the left, with his first cross beaten away by Joe Day and the second pushed behind.

    His subsequent corner was carried upfield by Yeovil's Frank Nouble, who comes together with Andy Cannon and the Wrexham man is down.

    Lee Swabey - our referee - is tasked with keeping the peace.

    Stockport have got enough quality in the final third to go and win this game. It’s been a good battle.

    Into the closing stages in Hampshire...

    Yeovil might have dipped down the ranks a bit but they do have some familiar faces.

    Frank Nouble in particular is a well-travelled experienced forward.

    Wrexham v Yeovil (15:45 GMT)

    Wrexham are second in League Two right now, have won their last five home games and have been part of FA Cup folklore as a giantkiller in days gone by.

    Think Mickey Thomas...

    Today though, they're the side there to be shot at.

    Mark Cooper's Yeovil are top of National League South. Both sides in form.

    Wrexham v Yeovil (15:45 GMT)

    Amidst all the excitement it's easy to forget we've got another game coming up shortly.

    Hollywood darlings Wrexham can write another chapter of their documentary this afternoon and make round three - setting up a spicy encounter with Shrewsbury.

    Yeovil Town, who've had a fall from grace, stand in their way.

  8. Reading manager's changes backfirepublished at 15:41 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2023

    FT: Eastleigh 2-1 Reading

    Mick Gooding
    Ex-Reading player/manager on BBC Radio Berkshire

    Ruben Selles did the same as he did when he made changes against Port Vale in the League Cup after a good win against Millwall. It looked in the last three or four weeks like a settled team. Keep that team and just keep the momentum going.

    I’m speechless. I honestly thought Reading would come back and win that game. Eastleigh deserved it.

    Aldershot 2-2 Stockport

    You just can't keep Josh Stokes out of the game, he has just come so close to bagging his hat-trick.

    The 19-year-old turns his marker before seeing his effort saved by Ben Hinchcliffe.

    Aldershot are determined to get this winner, they have under 15 minutes to get it.

    Eastleigh striker Paul McCallum told ITV Sport:

    "That's the beauty of the FA Cup. It's whoever wants it on the day goes and gets it.

    "They came out second half and we knew they'd have us pinned and we knew we had to be brave, it was a great goal they scored but me and Scott Quigley up there, all we need is one chance.

    "We want to get as far as possible, we aren't going to be silly and think we'll play Man City at Wembley but we want to go far and the prize money is good as well."

    Eastleigh have been awesome. They’ve put bodies on the line to protect their goal. It’s an absolutely unbelievable performance. What a great moment. They all deserve it - they grafted all day long. I’m so pleased for them. It’s an incredible achievement.

    Josh Stokes (67 mins)

    They're level, and it's Josh Stokes again!

    It's a brilliant goal from the youngster as he gathers the ball on the counter before sitting the goalkeeper down and finishing brilliantly into the middle of the goal.

    Their dream is still alive.

    Eastleigh are into the FA Cup third round for the first time in eight years and their boss Richard Hill looks close to tears and utterly drained, typified by a puff of the cheeks.

    The National League team came up with their winner in stoppage time, as Paul McCallum followed up his first-half effort with the crucial decider.

    Reading failed to match the energy for long periods, but they did they got themselves level through Femi Azeez's rocket.

    But it was short-lived relief and their beleaguered fans and players must endure more pain.

    Today though, is Eastleigh's.

    Eastleigh are all but there, and it's their talisman again Paul McCallum who steers the ball home.

    The corner came in from the right, McCallum attacked it, no-one dealt with the loose ball, and it was enthusiastically prodded home by the top scorer.

    It's mayhem now.

    Eastleigh get Enzio Boldewijn away down the right, and his cross is laser-guided for Scott Quigley only for Michael Craig to get back to hook behind.

    Chesterfield 1-0 Leyton Orient

    Chesterfield are getting closer to a second.

    They've been the better side in the second period, and are starting to find their stride.

    Centre-back Jamie Grimes has come closest to doubling the lead, seeing his powerful header saved low by Soloman Brynn.

    It feels like another goal isn't far away.

    Femi Azeez tries to chip Joe McDonnell in the Eastleigh goal but the Reading man is denied as the goalkeeper recovers.

    Lewis Wing was clipped just before it. Might have been a pen.

    Reading are pushed back as Eastleigh break, and Scott Quigley's deflected cross promises before it's dealt with.

    This is still right open.
