The play-off dream is effectively over.

Four successive draws have put paid to hopes of a top-six finish this season for Pompey.

But John Mousinho and his side need to give Fratton Park something to smile about going into the summer.

That will be their motivation as Accrington arrive fighting for their lives.

We’re building up to kick-off with live commentary from 3pm.

LIVE Pompey v Accrington

Another Lane effort flies just past the upright before Rafferty heads just over.

Lane drives forward and his first effort is blocked with his second going just wide. ‘We’ve had a shot’ reverberatres around the ground!

Lovely forward pass from Jewitt-White to get Lane going but his threat is dealt with by Hamilton.

‘Always look on the bright side of life,’ sing the Fratton End. Perfectly sums things up

Rafferty receiving treatment after taking a whack in the back.

Some lovely Pompey footbal opens up Accy but Bishop goes to ground in the box and Ogilvie can’t get a shot off as he arrives at the back post.

Attendance: 17,594 (126 away fans)

Good cross from Lowery and Ogilvie’s shot deflected for a corner

Accrington restart the game
