Decent spell of pressure from Luton but Nigel Lonwijk's long throw from the right is not very long at all, failing to reach the six yard box, and is hacked away.

Very wet so we'll give the Wolves loanee the benefit of the doubt and say it slipped, shall we?

The problem with the long throw tactic is that it is a wet ball and there is not much space between the touchline and the edge of the stands, so not much space for a run up either.

That could also be dangerous with the slippery pitch seeing players slide into advertising hoardings.

Crawley's Klaidi Lolos fires an effort over from distance and at the other end Mickey Demetriou's volley is saved by Jacob Chapman.

Crewe create another chance as Tommi O'Reilly's effort goes into the side-netting.

Following a frenetic opening 20 minutes, the game has settled down somewhat and the home side currently look comfortable.

Funso Ojo is currently down for Vale but he looks fine to continue.

Bradford are incensed as a promising break from their own half is halted as Tyreik Wright is adjudged to have fouled the back-tracking Mads Andersen in midfield, well away from the ball.

Replays suggest Andersen has made a meal of that, but ref Richard Eley bought it, much to Graham Alexander's frustration.

Oldham's Kai Payne hits a half-volley, but Ollie Clarke does well to make the block.

The Latics then have a good chance as Payne puts in a cross across the face of goal which finds Jake Caprice but he doesn't get enough on his finish.

Another chance for the home side.

Full-back Elijah Campbell comes on to a deep cross but completely mistimes his volley from inside the box.

Burton Albion deal with a resulting corner.

Jayden Stockley goes down under a challenge by Jake Beesley but the referee doesn't point for a penalty, despite the home side's protestations, signalling for a corner instead.

From it, Connor Hall has a good opportunity from 10 yards out but heads over under pressure.

Every time Port Vale put the ball into the Burton Albion box, they look threatening.

A Joe Johnson free-kick into the Bantams box is headed clear to Shayden Morris, 35-yards out, but his attempt at a blockbuster strike is high, wide and not very handsome.

It has a very boggy tinge to this Kenilworth Road surface.

We are close enough to see and hear each squelch.

A ball from the left hand side almost reaches Jake Beesley at the near post but the ball just evades him and eventually gets past Kyran Lofthouse who was closing in at the far.

Chance goes begging for the visitors.

Luton take a free-kick in the Bantams half quickly, too quickly for Shayden Morris who can't catch up to the ball before it rolls over the dead ball line on the right and almost takes a tumble over the advertising hoardings for his troubles.

Crawley keeper Jacob Chapman is called into action again as this time he's there to deny Tommi O'Reilly's low effort.

Albion really cannot let that early goal phase them this afternoon and a couple of long throw-ins from Alex Hartridge are hurled in but well dealt with by the Vale defence.

Really lively start at both ends to this one.

After a few rolls of gaffer tape around his left ankle, Teden Mengi is okay to continue.

There are not many spare seats in here today, it is a really good atmosphere.

Luton defender Teden Mengi is getting some treatment after pulling up after barging a tad clumsily into the back of Paul Mullin in midfield.

Impromptu team talks all round during the delay. Mengi is wincing in discomfort, not encouraging news for Jack WIlshere.

Owen Lunt has a crack at goal with a powerful strike but Crawley stopper Jacob Chapman is there to make the save.
