    Die Tanzflache Muzik: Is this the first time that the surnames of today's Leeds and Preston goalscorers are also the names of UK bands? James and Keane.

    That sounds like something only we know... I'll sit down shall I?

    Leeds 1-1 Preston

    Preston keeper Dai Cornell goes down and the physio comes on to have a look at him.

    Their sub keeper today is 18-year-old James Pradic who has been recalled from his loan spell with non-league Bamber Bridge.

    A penny for his thoughts about maybe coming into this game...

    Cornell fine to play on for now.

    Oh, this would have been lovely!

    Dan James sprints on to a ball on the corner of the area and looks to chip Dai Cornell in the Preston goal.

    He gets just a little too much on it.

    Leeds are really coming down the hill now though. Can Preston weather this storm?

    (Preston boss) Ryan Lowe is telling his team to calm down.

    Leeds must be wondering how they’ve not scored, they’ve wasted three chances in the second half already.

    Preston are looking a bit rattled.

    Leeds are doing things quicker, they were so slow and ponderous in the first half.

    ALL Leeds now!

    Ethan Ampadu's ball forward from defence reaches Dan James on the edge of the area.

    He looks to lift he ball over Dai Cornell, with the Preston keeper having come out of his area to deal with it.

    The ball seems to strike the Welsh keeper's hand but nothing doing and Patrick Bamford's attempted finish into the goalkeeper-less net is blocked behind by a Preston defender.

    It was amazing form Crysencio Summerville.

    Scooping the ball over trailing legs and he wriggled his way down the byeline and Georginio Rutter - it just seemed like he needed to tap it in.

    Leeds are progressing towards the goal more than they did in the first 45 minutes.

    There's more intent from Leeds.

    Leeds 1-1 Preston

    Leeds striker Patrick Bamford, looking for his fourth in four, leathers an effort over the bar from 18 yards.

    The one-time England man was one-on-one against his defender and made a yard for the shot.

    He's full of confidence just now.

    Leeds nearly make the perfect start to this half.

    Crysencio Sumerville shows lovely close control to run along the byline before teeing up Georginio Rutter.

    The Frenchman can't quite sort his feet and his effort cannons off the side of the post.

    HT: Leeds 1-1 Preston

    Neil Redfearn
    Former Leeds manager on BBC Radio Leeds

    Preston think the way forward is to be aggressive.

    Leeds have been the better side but Preston have come to get some points.

    Georginio Rutter has got Leeds in some good positions but he needs to move the ball quicker.

    It’s been a really good, entertaining half.

    It’s been a bit agricultural and a bit old-fashioned out there.

    Great stuff at Elland Road. More in the second half please!

    Very much the archetypal 'great advert for the Championship'.

    The away side took the lead inside two minutes when Will Keane tapped in from close range after a free-kick caused chaos in the home defence.

    Leeds, unbeaten at home all season, quickly levelled through Dan James' 10th goal of the season.

    Thereafter Daniel Farke's promotion-chasing men have had the better of it but Liam Millar forced a quality save from Illan Meslier and the Frenchman has looked suspect under set pieces.

    All to play for in the second half.

    Leeds hunt for a second just before the whistle goes for the break but the away side stand up to a really dangerous ball into the area from Archie Gray.

    There’s a feeling here that Preston are not too bothered what it (the game) looks like and it's always hard playing a team like that.

    If you lock horns with them you can end up playing the same way as them.

    Kyle: Brilliant game this is. Great to see Preston going for it and taking the game to Leeds. With Leeds' strike force still think they will edge it. Must win game really for Leeds especially with Southampton in great form.

    Agree with you on all those points Kyle. Terrific match so far.

    Half a chance for the home side.

    Ilia Gruev hangs up a deep corner and Georginio Rutter is free.

    The young French forward is maybe a little unsighted by Preston players jumping in front of him but he'll still hope to do better, as it is, his header flies way over.

    There’s a strong wind to deal with and you could see the ball getting held up in the wind there.

    There's a bit of litter being blown across the pitch.

    Storm Isha has prompted a fair few weather warnings across the country today and is being felt at Elland Road
