    Wrexham are keeping possession better now than they did early on.

    Midway through the first half and it remains goalless.

    Ollie Clarke drills an effort goalwards from around 20 yards out.

    It flies over, but he's furious that a corner isn't given.

    He has every right to be. It clearly takes a deflection.

    Great skill wasn't it! Sam Dalby driving in from this right hand side.

    Little Iniesta passed him, great strike, low down but a good save by Christy Pym.

    Mansfield 0-0 Wrexham

    Wrexham win a free-kick midway inside the Mansfield half. It's whipped into the box by James McClean, and it goes out for a Wrexham corner.

    The corner from McClean is cleared, but that's more like it from the visitors.

    David Keillor-Dunn has another effort at goal, but it's a comfortable stop for Arthur Okonkwo.

    Wrexham need to take the sting out of this one if possible.

    They can't allow Mansfield to control things.

    Mansfield patiently build from the back and slowly work their way up the pitch.

    Ben Tozer puts in a fine tackle to slow things down, but the Stags go quickly from a throw-in.

    Nigel Clough's men are the ones asking the questions so far.

    The ball is fed wide to Callum Johnson on the right, but he makes a right mess of his cross as it sails straight out for a Wrexham goal kick.

    Ball just outside the box, Davis Keillor-Dunn shapes to shoot, chops back onto his left foot and then sidefoots it agonisingly wide.

    You can see from the way the players are running, it's really different to change direction quickly. Any slight movement and you may get a chance.

    Mansfield 0-0 Wrexham

    Mansfield, as they did in the fixture between the sides a month ago, look the more comfortable in possession in these opening stages.

    They've edged the first 10 minutes or so.

    Wrexham get into a promising position in the final third, but they can't work the ball centrally to Paul Mullin who was lurking in the box.

    You can see from the ball when it's passed it's sticking on the surface, not fizzing across the turf.

    A bit sticky out there.

    Davis Keillor-Dunn cuts on to his left foot on the edge of the box before firing at goal, but his effort goes wide, much to the delight of the Wrexham fans.

    You can already see that the conditions are playing a part. Both sides taking no chances on the ball early on.

    Get it clear has been the message so far, when needed.

    Mansfield fans sing, 'Where were you when you were not so good?' to the Wrexham supporters.

    Well, they may not quite be the exact lyrics, but the sentiment remains the same.

    There's a great atmosphere, and the home fans are almost sent berserk as Rhys Oates is played through on goal by Davis Keillor-Dunn, but his low driven effort is well saved by Arthur Okonkwo.

    Arsenal loanee Okonkwo was excellent in the meeting between the sides last month, by the way.

    Mansfield are difficult to break down, they've only conceded 12. It's going to be hard, gritty if you're going to get the win.

    These are the nights I used to love playing in because you know there's going to be a mistake, so you're in with a chance.

    There are a fair few pockets of the pitch that look very heavy given the amount of ran that's fallen today.

    A few long balls from both sides early on.

    Andy Cannon drives goalwards and fires a shot just wide from around 20 yards out.
