    Wrexham now have an opportunity to counter. They need to be really sound in the back but look for Paul Mullin on the counter in the channels.

    Mind you Mullin looks goosed, bent over. It's so difficult when the ground is like this, it really takes it out of your legs.

    That chance came from nowhere for Paul Mullin, onside definitely, cutting in from the left channel and onto his right foot.

    You couldn't get more like for like substitutions, Ollie Palmer looks like a young kid without his beard out there.

    A decent opening for Mansfield as Reed collects the ball outside the Wrexham box, but he fires well over.

    He didn't half get some power behind that.

    Wrexham keep the ball well and go all the way back to Okonkwo who eventually lumps it upfield.

    Into the final 15 minutes in Mansfield and this one remains finely poised.

    The ball keeps slowing down as it rolls through pockets of water.

    Will the conditions play a key part in any late drama?

    That's the first time Wrexham have made four-five passes in this second half.

    It ends in a really dangerous cross from Jacob Mendy and Aden Flint is forced to head it over his own bar.

    Wrexham look to have a spell on the ball now to peg Mansfield back.

    Mendy crosses from the right, but Mansfield deal with it well.

    Mendy then gets another go, and his teasing cross is headed behind for a corner.

    That was a late challenge, Andy Cannon just got a toe on it.

    It was late but it was low from Louis Reed, just a yellow for me. It'll be a sore one that but it wasn't malicious.

    OUCH!

    Louis Reed crunches into Andy Cannon.

    That's a dangerous tackle, although the conditions probably made it look even worse.

    It's a yellow card.

    Oh look at that! Jordan Bowery has taken a throw-in, the ball has landed in a puddle and they try to clear it but they can't.

    It's getting very wet out there now.
