RECAP: Portsmouth 0-1 Bristol City: Team News and Live Commentary From Fratton Park

So here it is, Pompey’s final pre-season friendly ahead of the new season.

Team news is out at 2pm. Although Paddy Lane won’t be involved, spotted him with a boot over his right leg following the injury he suffered at AFC Wimbledon on Tuesday night.

Pompey: Norris, Rafferty, Poole, Shaughnessy, Ogilvie, Pack, Morrell, Lowery, Whyte, Bishop, Scully.

Subs: Schofield, Swanson, Towler, Raggett, Sparkes, Stevenson, Devlin, Kamara, Saydee, Yengi.

So that’s a squad of 21 named.

It’s a 4-3-3, with Poole and Shaughnessy the centre-halves, Whyte on the right wing, Scully on the left.

A central midfield of Pack, Lowery and Morrell.

Kal Naismith and Ross McCrorie missing through injury for the visitors, but Cam Pring starts at left-back.

Fratton Park pitch looking glorious.

Lovely south-coast sunshine ahead. But, as ever, a bit of a wind going through the South Stand. It never reflects the weather outside!

The teams are coming out.

Fratton End not open for this one, but the remaining three sides are. Including the redeveloped Milton End, containing a large contigent of Bristol City fans.

A minute’s applause for ex-Pompey player Tony Priscott, who has passed away.

And the game starts....

2 - Lowery finds Whyte down the right and his attempted cross is blocked.

4 - Lowery now tries to release the Irishman with first-time pass into space down the right, but it is overhit and goes out of play.

6 - Poole does well dealing with a bouncing ball over his head and under pressure, heading it back to Norris in goal.

7 - City win a free-kick on the edge of the area following Rafferty’s foul.

Taken by Nahki Wells, but the wall did its job and it bounces clear.
