One of the saves of the season that one.

It was a lovely move and a neatly flicked header. There's enough pace on it to beat the goalkeeper, but it's a terrific full-stretch save.

I thought Coventry were ahead there.

Stunning save from Daniel Peretz.

It's a wonderful cross in from the left and Liam Kitching must have thought he's scored.

His flicked header is destined for the far corner but somehow Peretz gets a big left paw to it and claws it out.

Phenomenal from the Southampton shot-stopper - that was the first shot on target we've had in any of the three Championship lunchtime kick-offs so far and it's come just before half-time.

Before Radek Vitek's injury, Bristol City defender Noah Eile picked up the first booking of the game for dissent.

The Swede has been in the ear of referee Stephen Martin for the last few minutes and it looks like he finally lost his patience.

Could prove to be a costly one as the game develops.

Luke Chambers sends in an in-swinging corner for the visitors but it's easily headed away by Will Lankshear in the Oxford box.

It's been that kind of afternoon, so far.

It is a 0-0 game at the moment, the ball is rolling quite awkwardly in midfield.

When we do get the ball in midfield, Mills still seems to be the outlet for us.

We just have to keep defending.

A beautiful headed touch by Southampton's Ryan Manning gets him to the byline.

His ball across is begging for someone in the six-yard box to get the telling touch but there are no takers.

Manning will be thinking where his attacking team-mates where on that one.

Matt Targett swings in a fierce corner low towards the near post which Radek Vitek saves with his legs. He's momentarily down but he's back up and OK to continue.

A sore one here for Charlton striker Miles Leaburn.

He and Michal Helik go in for a 50/50 and the U's defender is a bit late and makes contact with the shin of Leaburn before landing on the foot.

Leaburn looked to be in some real pain but he's back on his feet, while Helik has been shown a yellow card.

Southampton's Taylor Harwood-Bellis stays down following a challenge in the air by Ephron Mason-Clark

Nothing in it at all and Harwood-Bellis waves away the physio.

Big opportunity for Coventry to break the deadlock.

Luke Woolfenden rises highest at the back post but misjudges his header and the ball bounces harmlessly wide of the Southampton goal.

Best chance for the hosts so far.

A lovely delivery from the left by Coventry's Jay Dasilva finds Tatsuhiro Sakamoto at the back post but the Japanese is unable to get his header on target under significant pressure.

Good few minutes from both sides.

A good spell, this, from the hosts.

Amari'i Bell clears an awkward ball behind for an Oxford corner, which is then dealt with by the Addicks defence.

More yellow shirts getting on the ball in this past 10 minutes, though.

There's not been a lot of chances at either end which I think will please the City fans at the moment.

The longer this half has gone on the more comfortable City have looked.

Half hour gone at the Riverside, here are the possession stats in this one so far:

67% - Middlesbrough

33% - Bristol City

Chances have dried up, there's not an awful lot going on in the final third.

Good effort from the free-kick from Oxford's Jamie Donley.

He wraps his left foot around it and whips it up and over the wall and over the crossbar.

Everyone, we have had our first shot. And it only took half an hour.

Ryan Manning sends in a really dangerous corner from the right and Taylor Harwood-Bellis gets his head on it in the six yard box but Coventry get back to scramble the ball clear.

At the other end, Coventry quickly break, and Milan Van Ewijk is in but he can't find the right ball and Saints clear.

A silly pull-back on Stanley Mills by Luke Chambers gifts Oxford a free-kick in a dangerous position.

Amari'i Bell was covering Chambers there, very unnecessary.

Cameron Brannagan and Jamie Donley standing over it.

Coventry's Milan Van Ewijk has the opportunity to lob in a long throw but it is too far and is easily gathered by Saints keeper Daniel Peretz.

Adam Randell is fouled on the edge of the area. Scott Twine swings in the resulting free-kick into the box which is turn behind for Bristol City's first corner of the game.

It's floats straight into the hands of Sol Brynn, though.

They're quite a physical and compromising side Southampton, you can see they've got quality in their team.

They're well marshalled in the back four at the moment, they look like quite a tight outfit to me.

They're prone to conceding goals but they can score them as well, Jay Dasliva just has to manage his position a bit better and not jump out so early.
