Town straight onto the attack after the break as Sorba Thomas wins a corner with a direct run into the box.

Asmir Begovic claws the cross out from under his crossbar but goal machine Michal Helik cannot head the loose ball on target.

The second half is under way...

I think QPR can all probably feel like they can turn it up a notch. I think that they need to move the ball a bit quicker, surround Sinclair Armstrong with more players. Every time he's got the ball he's made something happen.

Get the ball to the players that can make the magic happen and things will happen.

When they have done that they've looked dangerous.

Darren Moore's players were out several minutes before the QPR players. Mind games or just keen to crack on? Here come the Hoops...

QPR have scored 14 goals in 14.5 home games.

Huddersfield have scored 13 goals in 14.5 away games.

Maybe we should not be surprised.

The second half is moments away and can only be better, right?

It's been an absolute scrap, littered with tackles and stoppages.

There have been few chances. You can tell why these two teams are among the lowest scorers in the Championship.

One interested observer at Loftus Road in that opening 45 minutes will have been Michael Frey.

The Swiss forward has joined QPR from Royal Antwerp and was paraded before the Hoops fans before kick-off.

The 21 fouls has been the story of the first half. There have been so many stoppages.

Town need to get into positions to get shots off, they seem to be getting stifled around the 18-yard box.

Well. What can you say about that first half?

You can tell it's an important game, it's not been very fluent and the ball has spent more time dead than alive.

Huddersfield perhaps had the best openings with Rhys Healey's early effort from a corner deflected over and then a first-time finish blocked late in the half, while Ilias Chair's pea-roller and a couple of crosses past the post were as close as the Hoops have come.

It's as you were after 45 minutes but with three names in the book already and a plethora of free-kicks awarded, will a dismissal be the thing to blow this stalemate wide open?

Three minutes have been added at the end of the first half...

Jack Colback is possibly not the person Rs fans would want a loose ball to drop to on the left of the area. He fizzes in a first-time cross as if he were trying to slide-tackle it and the ball flies past everyone and out the other side of the area.

Now, if that had been Ilias Chair....

Unbelievable goal-saving block from Jake Clarke-Salter. He read where the ball was going to go and put his body on the line.

Jack Rudoni and Brodie Spencer link up nicely down the Town right and the ball is cut back for Rhys Healey but his first-time effort is superbly blocked by the sprawling Jake Clarke-Salter.

About as close as they've come since Healey's early effort from a corner was deflected over.

Just for a moment Huddersfield looked like they'd fashioned a good opening on the break with a three-on-three but some good defending to get goal side held up Rhys Healey on the right of the area and then Jack Rudoni span himself further and further away from the edge of the box as the Rs midfield flooded back.

As you were...

Good play by Willock down the right hand side in a one-v-one with his defender.

It looked like Chair was going to shoot but he took a touch instead and he couldn't wrap his foot around it.

You suspect Darren Moore will be the happier of the two managers in the opening half-hour.

You can see why they have drawn 10 of his 21 matches in charge. The visitors have not allowed QPR's attacking threats to breathe, as their first attempt on target rolls tamely towards Lee Nicholls from the right foot of Ilias Chair.

I don't have the figures immediately to hand but if I had to estimate I'd say we've seen at least 427 breaks in play in the opening 27 minutes.

The latest QPR free-kick is whipped under the Town crossbar by Kenneth Paal but it's meat and drink on a Sunday lunchtime for keeper Lee Nicholls.

No goals but three cautions in the opening quarter of the game.

Jake Clarke-Salter is the latest to have his name taken and second Rs man after a pretty agricultural body-check on Jack Rudoni as he tried to break down the Town right.

'You don't know what you're doing,' the Hoops fans sing to Stephen Martin.

(He does!)

Sinclair Armstrong is more than a handful, as Michal Helik has just found...

The defender holds on tight to his waist as he tries to spin away on halfway and earns himself an early caution.

60 seconds later and Aaron Drewe goes into the book for the hosts after halting a Rhys Healey break down the Town left.

Niggly stuff.

Not a quiet Sunday afternoon stroll for referee Stephen Martin, thus far.

Jamal Fyfield
Boreham Wood defender on BBC Radio London

Ilias Chair just put in an absolute gold ball. All it needed was a little touch.

It went begging literally across the face of the goal. Those are the little differences.
