    HT: Portsmouth 1-2 Derby

    Darren Robinson
    Former Derby coach on BBC Radio Derby

    Derby deserve their lead. They’ve shown great character, defensive solidity, they work really hard out of possession and they’ve played the conditions really well.

  2. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:51 British Summer Time 2 April

    Portsmouth 1-2 Derby

    What a half that's been and Derby lead at Fratton Park.

    Two goals for Joe Ward, the second via a deflection, either side of Abu Kamara's equaliser.

    A really entertaining game.

    Portsmouth 1-2 Derby

    Derby win another throw high up the pitch and it almost falls for Nathaniel Mendez-Laing on the top of the area but Portsmoth clear.

    They then win a free-kick down the right but brave defending at the near post clears the danger.

    The second Derby goal has changed the outlook of the game. It’s just about us trying to get back to how we were playing before that goal went in.

    A long ball to the far post has Joe Wildsmith scrambling backwards and he doesn't get there.

    The ball is headed back and Christian Saydee has a chance on his right boot but blazes it over the bar!

    What a chance! The ball was rising on him and he couldn't get his foot over it.

    Well how about this, Derby moving forward before the referee's whistle goes.

    And it's because a fox is scampering around the pitch!

    Doncaster 1-0 Wrexham

    That was a real blow for Wrexham, conceding on the stroke of half-time.

    The Wrexham defence only half-cleared a Doncaster attack and, after one attempted cross had been blocked, full-back James Maxwell curled a teasing cross into the box and Owen Bailey rose to gleefully head home.

    Both sets of fans have had their chance to have some fun with a constant wall of noise here at Fratton Park.

    The Derby supporters have packed out the Milton End and were sent into raptures after Joe Ward’s classy finish to take the lead.

    Following Abu Kamara’s equaliser, the home backers reignited their deafening support with both sets of fans singing and jumping throughout.

    And the Derby fans were going wild again as Ward scored his second of the game, but Portsmouth’s supporters are still right behind their team as they have to come from behind again.

    The rain has finally stopped here in PO4 but there is some surface water kicking up after each pass.

    This game is iving right up to billing.

    A racous atmosphere inside Fratton Park and three goals already.

    After the opening 15 minutes it's been very even with moments at both ends.

    Oh my goodness! What a game this is.

    Derby back in front with another strike from Joe Ward on the right.

    Finds himself in so much space and lets fly from 25 yards out and a big deflection diverts it into the bottom left corner.

    A blow here for Wrexham just before the break as Owen Bailey gives the hosts the lead in South Yorkshire.

    Doncaster going for five wins in a row.

    Doncaster 0-0 Wrexham

    Rob Phillips
    BBC Wales football correspondent at Eco-Power Stadium

    Doncaster looked lively early on, playing with the confidence of a side who have won their last four league games on the bounce.

    Home winger Luke Molyneux showed real pace down their right hand side and set up Maxime Biamou for a shot which was blocked by the impressive Wrexham defender Eoghan O’Connell.

    Needless to say, Paul Mullin has already shown his predatory instincts with a snapshot from the edge of the box which went wide.

    Wrexham’s best chance fell to Ollie Palmer who headed wide, after defender Will Boyle had risen at the far post to turn a teasing Elliott Lee free kick back across goal.

    All the time the Wrexham travelling contingent were in good vocal form kept in rhythm by a persistent drummer.

    Kamara coolly went past one man and slotted it into the bottom corner. That’s a brilliant footballing goal.

    Abu Kamara (27 mins)

    Pompey strike right back!

    A flat pass from Joe Rafferty on the right wing finds Colby Bishop on top of the area.

    He flicks the ball into the box and finds Abu Kamara, who takes a delightful touch off his right boot to beat the last defender and then slides in a cool finish with his left.

    Darren Robinson

    What a fantastic team goal. Derby have been really disciplined in the early stages. A brilliant counter attack goal.

    Blackett-Taylor did ever so well, and Joe Ward held his nerve to slam the ball in the bottom corner.

    Oh what a goal on the break!

    Corey Blackett-Taylor wins it in his own half, shrugs off a defender and goes on a drive deep into the Portsmouth half.

    He slides a ball into the area where Joe Ward is arriving and he drives a hard, low shot beyond the goalkeeper into the bottom-left corner.

  19. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20 mins

    Portsmouth 0-0 Derby

    But this time there is a yellow card as Paddy Lane lunges in on Kane Wilson as he tried to skip up the right.

    It's a good free-kick, only half-cleared and Derby have a few digs at getting an effort on goal.

    Eventually a weak shot dribbles wide of the right-hand post.

    Better from Derby.

    A clearance from Derby left-back Louie Sibley and Christian Saydee leaves his foot in the challenge and catches Sibley.

    He stays down for a while but the referee has a word with Saydee and nothing more.
