    Is there a winner in it for Ipswich to go top of the Championship? Or will it be Norwich that continue their stranglehold on this derby?

    I think the changes are good.

    Wes Burns had a good game, but maybe, just maybe, Omari Hutchinson will be able to manipulate his way around better compared to Burns' directness.

    And that is Wes Burns' final act of the day.

    He goes off alongside Conor Chaplin, with Marcus Harness and Omari Hutchinson coming on.

    Ipswich 2-2 Norwich

    The pressure is being piled on now by the home side.

    Norwich are back in their area defending yet another corner.

    It is played to the front post, however, and easily dealt with.

    Conor Chaplin goes direct for goal, and while he manages to lift it over the defensive wall it never dips enough to worry Angus Gunn in goal.

    Captain Sam Morsy gets trodden on just outside the area and Ipswich have themselves a free-kick about 25 yards out and right in front of goal...

    Ipswich 2-2 Norwich

    There was talk before the game about club heroes being defined on derby days.

    Massimo Luongo maybe had that at the forefront of his mind when he lined up this effort from a long way out. It was never about to trouble Norwich goalkeeper Angus Gunn as it flies wide.

  9. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 70 mins

    Ipswich 2-2 Norwich

    Norwich boss David Wagner is the first to turn to his bench today.

    Jonathan Rowe's day is done after grabbing two goals for the Canaries, and on comes Onel Hernandez.

    It's a deep cross that Angus Gunn has to palm over the crossbar, so Ipswich come again with another corner.

    This time Cameron Burgess gets on the end of it, but sends his effort over.

    Ipswich fans are just loving the latest corner that Wes Burns has managed to win them.

    They have high expectations of their side right now.

    Ipswich 2-2 Norwich

    Ipswich are again playing with a calmness and assurance you would expect of a side setting a furious pace at the top of the table.

    Kieran McKenna's side will still need a win to reclaim the Championship lead today.

    Ipswich 2-2 Norwich

    There is stoppage in play after Sam McCallum hits the ground with a thump after getting tangled with Wes Burns in an aerial challenge.

    The Norwich man makes his way off the pitch, but he looks OK to continue.

    The television cameras shift their attention to Ipswich's most famous supporter Ed Sheeran.

    He is roaring with delight with his fellow Ipswich fans right now.

    No mistake in that finish.

    It's come from Norwich gifting the ball away from just outside their box.

    Ipswich have now got their tails up and will believe they can go on and win this game.

    And now it's Adam Idah who lets a big chance go to waste.

    A lovely low cross is whipped into the area, and it seems to surprise Idah as he swings a leg at it with just Ipswich goalkeeper Vaclav Hladky to beat.

    Cameron Burgess is a picture of frustration after he heads his effort from that set-piece off target.

    That was a big chance to level.

    Ipswich seeing more of the ball in Norwich's half all of a sudden.

    A cross into the box is well defended by Shane Duffy, but Borja Sainz's tackle on Wes Burns sets Ipswich up for a free-kick from a dangerous area.

    Can Ipswich respond?

    They have a corner that bobbles here and there before being cleared by Norwich's defence.
