    AFC Wimbledon 2-0 Ramsgate

    Tom Hadler swats away a cross from the right with the ball seemingly striking Bode Anidugbe on the arm before it's cleared behind.

    Connor Lemonheigh-Evans then fires one effort across goal and then is denied by an Alfie Young touch at the far post as he lurks with intent to convert a deep inswinging cross.

    Half-time cannot arrive soon enough.

    Tom Hadler has been superb, he has had to make so many saves.

    I know some goalkeepers who would be more annoyed at the amount of shots he's having to save.

    There's a statue of a goalkeeper outside the stadium...

    Jack Parter flies into a superb block to thwart Omar Bugiel's volley after Bode Anidugbe had given away possession in his own box.

    Tom Hadler, him again, then called into action to parry away a swerving drive and from the restart Connor Lemonheigh-Evans fires well over the bar as the one-way traffic continues apace.

    Should be three, the shot brilliantly charged down.

    Too easy that - the full-back running most of the length of the pitch without a challenge being put in.

    Ramsgate win a corner but Mike West fails to clear the first man - Ali Al-Hamadi, of course.

    Poor old Joe Taylor is cutting a frustrated figure up top for the visitors. 25 goals this season, nine in the cup run, but not a sniff of a chance thus far tonight.

    AFC Wimbledon 2-0 Ramsgate

    Lebanese international forward Omar Bugiel rises highest to meet a cross from the Dons right but can only send his header into Tom Hadler's breadbasket.

    The Rams keeper will sleep well tonight, you'd expect, thought he might have visions of blue and yellow in his dreams.

    AFC Wimbledon 2-0 Ramsgate

    Ali Al-Hamadi is frightening the Rams defence every time he gets the ball. Quick and direct and quite unlike most Isthmian South East attackers, it's fair to say.

    Half-time is 13 minutes and change away, but that will feel an eternity for the Rams and boss Ben Smith.

    Unlucky for Ramsgate with there being a deflection on the cross.

    It looks like it's going to be a tough evening for them.

    Tom Hadler is called into action again with a sprawling save to divert a low ball to the left of goal.

    Armani Little lashes a volley over the angle of post and bar from the resulting corner.

    AFC Wimbledon smell blood here, you sense.

    That was good goalkeeping initially, he's unlucky.

    But it's going to be a long journey back now for the Isthmian League side.

    If they can get one before half-time it could be interesting.

    Jack Currie's left-wing cross loops up of Bode Anidugbe and although Tom Hadler acrobatically claws the ball out from under his own bar, Iraq striker Ali Al-Hamadi is lurking to nod in the loose ball at the far post with Hadler's scramble to stop it in vain.

    That's 10 for the season.

    Armani Little picks up a loose ball on the right edge of the Rams penalty area but fizzes a low effort across goal and past the base of the far post.

    Ramsgate causing problems for the Wimbledon full-backs.

    That low ball into the area could have gone anywhere.

    That did cause a couple of problems.

    Put them under a bit of pressure facing their own goal.

    Straight up the other end and Dons skipper Jake Reeves tries his luck with a 25-yard blast but his effort flies over Tom Hadler's crossbar.

    Ramsgate's own TJ Jadama is causing the Dons some problems and wins a dangerous free-kick from Joe Lewis on the left of the area.

    The home defence manages to scramble the low delivery away and Lee Martin's follow-up flies the wrong side of the upright from a Rams perspective.

    Joe Taylor is looking isolated and I can see getting frustrated, which is easily done at this level, but he's got to keep his head up if he can.

    AFC Wimbledon 1-0 Ramsgate

    AFC Wimbledon, unsurprisingly, look fast and sharp every time they spring forward. Ramsgate are struggling to live with them at present. You wonder if that might become harder as the game wears on too.

    Dons boss Johnnie Jackson has clearly taken this match very seriously and his players are doing the same.

    Connor Lemonheigh-Evans is clipped by Bode Anidugbe 20 yards out and Jake Reeves' far-post free kick sees Ryan Johnson's close-range header parried away by Tom Hadler with Joe Lewis firing the rebound off-target with the goal at his mercy.

    Pressure is building.

    Ramsgate had to come from a goal down to beat Woking in round one. They will have to do so again.

    AFC Wimbledon, however, are a different proposition and have their tails up now.

    Rams keeper Tom Hadler claws a low cross from the right away from his goalmouth and sees it bounce to safety off a Dons knee.
