As it stands this would be Mansfield's fifth away win of the League One season.

Before today only four clubs had won fewer on the road in the division.

Doncaster win a corner, their first of the game but it is scrambled away.

The sun is out now and Doncaster spring forward but yet again the ball into the box is nowhere near good enough.

Mansfield will fancy picking off the home side if they commit too many players forward.

Brandon Hanlan cannot continue and hobbles off.

Glenn Middleton is his replacement.

Robbie Gotts picks out Elliot Lee who exchanges passes before shooting well over the bar.

Would have been a good conversion for the rugby club who share this ground.

Brandon Hanlan needs some treatment so the players come across for a drink and some more instructions.

Doncaster have scored at least once in each of their past nine meetings with Mansfield but have not created anything in this second half so far.

Elliot Lee floats a cross in and it is cleared.

They are still yet to have a shot on target.

The message from the bench at the moment will be to remain patient and keep creating those passing lanes.

Don't go all hell-for-leather as Mansfield could quite easily tear us apart on the break and grab a second.

Down goes Brandon Hanlan in the Mansfield area - he looks hopefully at the referee Lee Swabey more than in any belief and play continues.

That goal was also the first conceded by Doncaster in 322 minutes of League One football and they can feel a little aggrieved about the nature of it.

Mansfield are spraying it around like a charity match now and Rhys Oates gets to the edge of the box before tripping over his own feet.

At the other end Jack Senior wastes the chance to put in a telling cross and blasts it behind.

That goal is Rhys Oates' 10th of the season and, as it stands moves Mansfield up to 12th and beyond the magic 50-point mark.

What have Doncaster got in terms of a response?

We've had five minutes of positivity from Mansfield and you can create your own luck.

It doesn't matter how it goes in, Oates knew nothing about it but he won't care one bit.

Rhys Oates sees the posts for the first time today but the ball gets a taste of the stand roof.

That about sums it up at the moment as the Mansfield man slices his shot dreadfully off target.

Matty Pearson puts his body on the line to make a block and is now laying on his back.

That has taken the wind out of his sails and he needs to head off for some treatment although what the physio can do here I am not so sure.

No changes for either side at the break.

Not one shot on target in that first half.

Hopefully the respective coaching teams have worked their magic during the 15-minute interval.

'I hope you enjoyed that first half' said the PA announcer at the interval.

Well, not exactly 45 minutes of football we will be telling the grandchildren about in years to come mate, but we have seen worse.

We are back at it for the second period.

Rovers have had the better of the openings of which there haven't been many for either side.

Mansfield had set up with a plan to be direct and ruffle some feathers and play to their strengths.

Rovers haven't really got going.

Luke Molyneux has been the most prominent of the attack, the surface is difficult and the wind is very blustery, but I'm not making excuses for the players.

It's been a rather lacklustre half.

Luke Moyneux has hit the outside of the post for Doncaster, sent two efforts wide and....nope that's it.

It is 317 minutes since Rovers conceded a goal.

It will get better, surely.

Luke Molyneux has hit the outside of a post and now he has flashed an effort wide.

He cuts in from the right for his favoured left foot and sends a shot just off target.

Better.

We will have at least two additional minutes.

Doncaster's Matty Pearson is turned on the halfway line by Rhys Oates so the defender just hauls him to the ground.

That levels things up on the cautions now
