Action underway at Fratton!

Pompey straight on the front foot and the way is verging on torrential

Rovers win a corner which Norris punches before claiming the follow up header from Rovers.

Marquis on the turn in the box screws his shot over - you can guess what the Fratton End sing.

Huge chance for Rovers as Collins goes around Norris on the edge of the box but hits the ball into the side netting with the goal gaping. Big let-off for Pompey.

Finley in late on Marquis and gets a yellow

Lowery gives the ball way deep in Rovers half and they break in numbers, Pompey look exposed but Finley’s 25 yarder deflects over the top.

Big chance for Pompey now as Scully controls the ball at the back post and squares for Bishop, but his close-range effort is deflected over the top.
