Goal Accrington - Bishop

Another dangerous cross goes begging from Harness, who’s started really well

Early blows for Pompey as Jayden Stockley heads Charlton in front against Crewe while Jorge Grant’s given Lincoln the lead against Shrewsbury.

Charles shoots at MacGillivray from the edge of the box

Great play from Harness down the left. Checks back and his ball goes right across the six-yard box with no Pompey player quite able to tap in

Naylor fires well over from 25 yards

Rogers fires wide from long range, never looked like threatening MacGillivray

Curtis just tries his luck from outside of the box and his shot spins not too far wide
