    HT: Peterborough 1-0 Stevenage

    This is how the League One table would look if Peterborough hold on for the three points.

    Darren Ferguson's team would climb a place to fourth, with Stevenage remaining sixth.

    Still too close to call with eight or nine games to go.

    Josh: Stevenage have had an incredible season. Just two years ago they were near the bottom of League Two. Now they're competing with, and matching, top League One clubs like Peterborough. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see them in the Championship come September.

    I'm not sure Peterborough have particularly deserved it to be honest. Stevenage have really done a job on them up until that penalty. I think they will feel aggrieved. They have been excellent but they haven't had many shots on target. Jed Steer hasn't been tested.

  5. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:48 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March

    Peterborough 1-0 Stevenage

    Stevenage have been much the better side - albeit without creating a clear cut chance.

    But it's Peterborough who lead with a goal from absolutely nothing thanks to Harrison Burrows' penalty.

    Another home game and yet another goal for Posh.

    Great composure, it's Harrison Burrows at his best. It's why he's scored so many goals this season. You always fancy him putting them in the back of the net and he does it with confidence.

    It's a blatant penalty, no doubt, but I'm not sure Steve Evans will agree.

    The Peterborough captain Harrison Burrows steps up left-footed and slides it low to the goalkeeper's right.

    Coolly done and, out of nothing, Posh lead.

  9. PENALTY TO PETERBOROUGHpublished at 42 mins

    Peterborough 0-0 Stevenage

    Ephron Mason-Clark gets down the left for Posh and cuts back from the dead ball line.

    His trailing leg is taken away by Luther James-Wildin and it's a clear penalty.

  10. 'Stevenage looking dangerous'published at 20:39 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March

    Stevenage have been excellent; they've been aggressive, it's been a high press. They've looked dangerous when they've come forwards as well.

    Peterborough just need someone to instigate something.

    Peterborough 0-0 Stevenage

    Another loose pass out from the back from Peterborough and Jordan Roberts collects for Stevenage.

    He's 25 yards out but lets fly with a left boot and a rasping effort isn't too far away with Jed Steer diving at full stretch to his right.

    Thankfully for him and Posh the ball climbs over the bar.

  12. ouch!

    Peterborough's Hector Kyprianou hauls down a red shirt streaking forward down the left and is booked.

    And from the set-piece, it's flicked from the top of the area towards goal and almost finds Vadaine Oliver sprinting forward.

    But Posh goalkeeper Jed Steer gets there first to punch away.

    There's an almighty clash between the pair but after a moment to gather themselves, both are ok.

    Peterborough 0-0 Stevenage

    Another little moment for the visitors as a free-kick from the middle of the park is sent towards the far post.

    It's flicked back towards goal and Jamie Reid gets to it with a header but under pressure bundles it wide.

    A cry for handball in among that but goal kick given.

  14. Postpublished at 29 mins

    Peterborough 0-0 Stevenage

    Stevenage back on the front foot and they work it into a good area down the left.

    A clipped cross is headed away to the top of the area where Terence Vancooten chests down into space and then shoots left-footed and not too far over the bar.

    Jed Steer was probably beaten in the Posh goal.

    Peterborough need a little bit of confidence - this is a big game for them. They haven't got that momentum and flow that I've seen them with this season. I think it will come with time.

    Peterborough 0-0 Stevenage

    You can't say Peterborough have settled into the game because they're still struggling to string any passes together.

    But they are seeing much more of the ball and appear to have weathered that early pressure from Stevenage.

    Peterborough 0-0 Stevenage

    Now then, Ricky-Jade Jones goes down for Peterborough in a tangle with Carl Piergianni.

    And the replay suggests the Stevenage captain may have led with an arm in making a block on the Posh frontman.

    The officials saw nothing and on we go with Jones getting up holding his nose.

  18. 'Stevenage not a horrible side'published at 20:19 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March

    There's this illusion of Stevenage that they're a horrible side that only want to play long balls forward and that's not the case. When they get into the final third, they are really dynamic. It's not just hustle and bustle - there's quality out there.

    It's the replay of the Bournemouth v Luton fixture that was abandoned after Luton defender Tom Lockyer suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch.

    Lockyer has made an emotional return to Vitality Stadium tonight and his presence is proving lucky for the Hatters, who are leading 2-0.

  20. CLOSE!published at 15 mins

    Peterborough 0-0 Stevenage

    Jamie Reid does so well in midfield for Stevenage to wriggle free and find a pass to Jordan Roberts on the left.

    His cross is low and fizzing across the six-yard box.

    But it's just out of the reach of a sliding Vadaine Oliver.
