Adil Aouchiche left footed shot from the centre of the box is close, but misses to the right. 31 minutes.
Pompey have a shot on target, although Josh Murphy's long-range effort is straight at Woodman. 33 minutes.
Pompey getting plenty of second balls. Basically doing very well except they are not creating threat inside the Preston box. Not what we were hoping for with Bishop and Yengi in the forwards..
Half time whistle goes, and it's goal less. We have possibly played slightly better than Preston so far, based on chances created. Sounds like Kusini Yengi isn't making much of an impression in the first half, so possibly if that continues in the second half, we could see Mark O'Mahony coming on to replace him.

Been some dangerous balls into the box that just needed a final touch, but it's been okay so far. We'll be attacking the Portsmouth fans this half so hopefully get a good view of a goal or three! Played some good music here, Stereophonics followed by Cornershop. Nice

So close to an opener as a rising 30-yard strike from Cohen Bramall rattles the crossbar. 67 minutes.
1-1 now with Colby Bishop's 7th goal of the season. 83 minutes. A Josh Murphy corner has to be scrambled behind and the second one is fired home by Colby Bishop!!
