    Wonderful strike!

    It says something about how marvellous this finish is from Tom Knowles that it's comparable with James Bessey-Saldanha's first-half goal for Sheppey.

    Knowles cuts inside from the left into a central area and swerves a near-unstoppable effort in from distance, bending beyond Aiden Prall's dive and nestling in the far corner of the net.

    Walsall take the lead in style for the first time tonight!

    There's a first moment of concern of the half for now-hatless Sheppey manager Ernie Batten as goalkeeper Aiden Prall is called into action once again, tipping Isaac Hutchinson's long-range drive behind.

    At the other end, Connor Wilkins has a terrific opportunity after Walsall make a hash of dealing with a cross - but he can only send his finish wide.

    Sheppey United 1-1 Walsall

    Alex Willis, who came on for Sheppey dangerman Danny Bradshaw during the first half, has an excellent chance at the start of the first half as the ball drops to him in space inside the penalty area.

    The substitute can only poke his first-time finish comfortably wide. Bright opening from Sheppey.

  8. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:37 Greenwich Mean Time 3 November 2023

    Barnsley 2-2 Horsham

    Horsham manager Dominic Di Paola will be more than happy with that first half as his side goes in level at the break.

    Barnsley looked to be in control after Max Watters' opener, and could have been further ahead before Shamir Fenelon equalised and James Hammond then put the non-league side ahead from the penalty spot.

    They looked to lead until Fabio Jalo's worldie perhaps spares the Tykes players a little wrath from Barnsley boss Neill Collins.

  9. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:35 Greenwich Mean Time 3 November 2023

    Sheppey United 1-1 Walsall

    This has been a cracking cup tie, and both sides have reasons to be pleased at the break.

    Walsall have dominated, taking 16 of the 17 shots and nine of the 10 on target, and deservedly equalising through Douglas James-Taylor's neat forward play and finish.

    That Sheppey shot, though, produced a goal for this season's highlights reel. Aiden Prall, too, has made several excellent saves behind a defence who have done well to deal with their opponents' persistent threat.

    For all their blocks and stops, Sheppey's hopes of a positive result could depend on them making fewer mistakes in possession inside their own half. They've gifted Walsall chances, at times.

    Fabio Jalo (45 mins)

    What a game we have at Oakwell!

    Fabio Jalo is denied somehow by Lewis Carey who deflects a shot behind.

    But the 17-year-old is not to be denied from the corner, curling an absolute stunner into the top left corner.

    Super, super strike and blushes spared before half-time.

    What a turnaround!

    Daniel Ajakaiye again has Barnsley in a tangle at the back and is brought down by Mael de Gevigney.

    And James Hammond hammers the penalty into the roof of the net.

    Sheppey United 1-1 Walsall

    Sheppey goalkeeper Aiden Prall makes another good save - this time from Tom Knowles, who thunders in a low strike from outside the penalty area after capitalising on slack passing.

    The hosts retain a threat, but their fans will surely be pleased to go in level at half-time on the current balance of play.

    Prall then makes an even better save, leaping at full stretch to paw Ryan Stirk's curling shot wide.

  13. Postpublished at 20:25 Greenwich Mean Time 3 November 2023

    Barnsley 1-1 Horsham

    The Tykes go close again after another neat move.

    Lewis Carey makes another superb save, this time low to his left to deny Max Watters who could have had a first half hat-trick.

  14. Postpublished at 20:21 Greenwich Mean Time 3 November 2023

    Sheppey United 1-1 Walsall

    Isaac Hutchinson lashes in a long-range shot. Aiden Prall tips it over the crossbar, and there's another nervy moment for Sheppey from the corner.

    The home fans have been quietened a little.

  15. Postpublished at 20:21 Greenwich Mean Time 3 November 2023

    Barnsley 1-1 Horsham

    Daniel Ajakaiye's pace causing more problems for the Tykes back four.

    Shamir Fenelon’s pass almost puts Ajakaiye in, but he couldn’t get enough on the ball as he tried to round Ben Killip in the Barnsley goal.

    Walsall are level with a clever strike!

    Sheppey give the ball away midway inside their own half. Douglas James-Taylor collects possession, arrowing into the penalty area and away from goal, but giving himself space beyond Lekan Majoyegbe in the process.

    James-Taylor then threads a precise, low shot on the turn through Majoyegbe's legs and beyond Aiden Prall's dive.

    The visitors' pressure pays off!

    Barnsley 1-1 Horsham

    Horsham fans are making a lot of noise as they celebrate parity.

    But they are almost silenced as Fabio Jalo fires in a fierce curling effort from 16 yards. Lewis Carey is down to his right to claw it away.

    Great stop.

  18. Postpublished at 20:17 Greenwich Mean Time 3 November 2023

    Sheppey United 1-0 Walsall

    Connor Wilkins has rescued Sheppey in the nick of time more than once now.

    This time he clears Douglas James-Taylor's close-range shot off the line. Ross Tierney then fires wide from distance again.

    Walsall's best spell since that magnificent James Bessey-Saldanha opener.

  19. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 20:14 Greenwich Mean Time 3 November 2023

    Barnsley 1-1 Horsham

    Callum Styles goes oh so close to restoring the lead for Barnsley.

    Owen Dodgson curls in a free kick to the near post where Styles' sidefoot volley from eight yards strikes the bar.

    Ladies and gents, we have a tie!

    Dan Ajakaiye gives two defenders the slip with pace and then plays a lovely ball into Shamir Fenelon who prods a superb finish into the top corner.

    Barnsley boss Neill Collins is furious, the Horsham fans delirious.
