I think it's a good start for Gateshead.

It's not backs to the wall but they could do with having a shot.

They're building patiently.

Walsall's Evan Weir goes for goal from a free-kick 35-yards out, attempting to catch Tiernan Brooks out at his near post, but gets it wrong and the ball goes out for a goal-kick.

Leicester City loanee Sammy Braybrooke runs forward positively for Newport, but his final ball falls short of finding Bobby Kamwa on the left-hand side of the penalty area.

That could be something for the visitors to build on.

Abdul Abdulmalik slices a shot high and wide for Boreham Wood.

The hosts are showing wonderful composure in all areas.

But, as long as the score remains 2-0 with plenty of time remaining, Newport will feel they have a chance of making a comeback.

An enormous throw from Gateshead Tiernan Brooks gets the Heed up the pitch to earn themselves a corner.

From it, Curtis Edwards disappointingly finds the gloves of Walsall keeper Myles Roberts.

Sammy Braybrooke is shining like a jewel in this Newport County side.

You an see his quality but he can't do it all by himself.

The ball is perfect for Jamille Matt - a striker who loves the FA Cup.

He will be thinking how didn't that go in.

It's a good start for Walsall.

First shot for the visitors and Daniel Kanu hits a left foot strike but it's straight down the throat of Gateshead keeper Tiernan Brooks.

Moments later, Ryan Finnigan gets all the way to the byeline but somehow Jamille Matt fluffs his lines at the vital moment. Matt should have scored.

Newport have been careless in possession. If you give the ball to Boreham Wood, it may be some time before you get it back.

However, the visitors are pressing far higher up the pitch in this half but they are struggling to get going.

Boreham Wood's Regan Booty has another opportunity.

His latest strike is blocked and that takes the pace off the ball and makes it an easy catch for Newport keeper Nik Tzanev.

The visitors can hardly keep hold of the ball.

I'm surprised there's been no changes at half-time for Newport. I don't think Newport have been terrible, but you can see where the game is going.

We have one team full of confidence in their league facing a team rock bottom of theirs.

Gateshead get us under way and earn themselves a free-kick on the right hand side of the Walsall box early on.

David Ferguson goes for goal from it, but strikes a resolute Walsall wall.

The second half has started.

Can Newport get the next goal or will Boreham Wood remain on top as they were before the break?

We are under way in the third of our four FA Cup second round ties today!

League Two leaders Walsall travel to a wet and windy Gateshead this afternoon looking to avoid what would be one of the big shocks of this weekend's FA Cup action.

The Saddlers have progressed from each of their past five FA Cup ties against non-league opponents, since a 1-0 defeat by Macclesfield Town nine years ago.

National League side Gateshead, meanwhile, are looking to reach the third round for just the second time in their history.

They did, however, see off League One side AFC Wimbledon last month, putting aside the 57 places in the football pyramid between them, to pull off one of the shocks of the first round in a 2-0 away win.

Can the Heed pull off similar heroics today? Kick-off in our third of four FA Cup clashes coming up in just a couple of minutes.

Boreham Wood had 70% of possession and they have used it well.

At times, they have over-played but they are playing some good stuff.

I think Christian Fuchs is going to have to make changes at half-time, whether that's shape wise or personnel.

There are chances to be had for Newport, but what they can't afford to do is allow this Boreham Wood side to build on the momentum they have.

Five years ago this club didn't know what their future looked like, fast-forward five years and they're in the hat with the likes of Man City and United.

They had the determination and grit to get the job done.

It was a very good first half for Boreham Wood. Newport have had their chances, hitting the post at 0-0.

But you can understand why Boreham Wood were the favourites in many people's eyes.
