Carlisle's Regan Linney is brought down by Blackpool defender Zac Ashworth.

He gets a booking from the referee. There was a covering defender.

Chris Conn-Clarke is Carlisle's playmaker and everything is going through him.

They are trying to get him on the ball with every chance they get in Blackpool's final third.

One of the Blackpool midfielders has got to try and look after him and protect the defence.

Blackpool give the ball away in midfield and that gives Carlisle the boost they need to go and attack.

Regan Linney plays a dangerous ball. It isn't quite clear if it is a shot or a pass towards David Ajiboye, but the hosts hack the ball clear.

Both teams have had their chances - I wouldn't say it's been tight - it's been open.

I want Carlisle to use their belief and confidence. Conn-Clarke's effort was very unlucky.

Carlisle need to sharpen up defensively if they are to stay in this game.

Blackpool's Scott Banks drills the ball at goal from the right and visiting keeper Harry Lewis has to get down low to palm the ball clear.

The onus is on Carlisle now. They are unbeaten in 11 matches in all competitions.

Can they deal with the interruption to their gameplan following that opening goal for the hosts?

What a save that was from Bailey Peacock-Farrell.

He protected Blackpool's clean sheet with a fantastic double save.

An incredible, top-drawer save from Bailey Peacock-Farrell.

Carlisle playmaker Chris Conn-Clarke stabs the ball towards the goal, but the Northern Ireland international goalkeeper is alert and at full stretch to push it away.

It was really, really soft defending for that goal.

They were second, third and fourth to everything in the area then.

There were at least three blue shirts in the area and they were flat-footed.

Blackpool might be struggling in League One, but so far they appear to have a touch of quality when they get forward.

Scott Banks comes racing through midfield but the ball is cleared out of play by Carlisle.

Blackpool have to move the ball a lot quicker than they are doing at the moment.

Ian Evatt's body language when keeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell had the ball - he wanted him to release the ball quickly.

Carlisle will hope to use the confidence they have gathered from their league form.

They have a positive spell in possession, with the lively Chris Conn-Clarke involved from the number 10 position.

It is clear that he can run forward at pace and move well between the lines.

I thought they controlled the game, with the experience of Flint to close out the game.

I think the Saddlers deserve that today, an utterly professional performance.

Blackpool are favouring the diagonal ball. It was too easy for them to get in.

It was a big chance. It was poor from the off by Carlisle.

The hosts have started brightly at Bloomfield Road.

A good ball in from the left finds Blackpool's Ashley Fletcher, but he cannot make proper contact.

Another chance for a National League side to see if they can beat Football League opposition.

Remember, Carlisle already shocked Reading in the second round.

"Some people might say I've found my level," joked Carlisle United manager Mark Hughes ahead of his side facing Blackpool in the FA Cup.

The former Premier League boss is enjoying life in the National League, with the club unbeaten in 11 matches in all competitions.

By contrast, third-tier Blackpool will be looking for a distraction from their poor league form.

Ian Evatt's team have picked up one point from their last three games in League One, also exiting the EFL Trophy by losing to Harrogate Town on Tuesday.

The hosts will be wary of an upset after Carlisle knocked out League One Reading in the last round with a 3-2 away victory after extra time.

Full-time and Walsall are safely into the third round of this season's FA Cup.

The League Two leaders were too strong for their National League opposition and have seen the second half out at an arm's length.

Daniel Kanu gave them a half-time lead from the penalty spot after Blackpool loanee Ryan Finnigan was fouled in the box.

Aden Flint effectively killed off the tie four minutes into the second-half when he turned home a good free-kick from the left by Evan Weir.

A professional performance from Mat Sadler's men.

We are into SIX minutes of additional time at Gateshead.

The League Two leaders are almost into tomorrow's third round draw now.
