The first shot of the half has taken five minutes to come and it's Garath McCleary cutting in from the right for Gillingham and letting fly. His effort is deflected and bounces comfortably into the arms of Barnet keeper Cieran Slicker.

There's a lot of booing and discontent around the ground now.

Vale are the culprits of their own mistakes, they're all over the shop.

They're giving Plymouth lots of confidence, things are getting frantic.

Gillingham had failed to score in just two of their last 25 league games before today.

They've also only kept just one clean sheet across their last eight League Two outings.

Kept both those runs going today.

Better from Vale.

A cut-back from the right of the box is destined for the lurking Rhys Walters until Ruari Paton takes it off his toe.

Paton eventually pokes it back to his colleague but despite working some space his effort from the edge of the box deflects wide and Vale make a hash of the corner, in truth.

Harrogate are building pressure.

First, Walsall's Aden Flint is forced to scramble a Levi Sutton shot away behind for a corner before Myles Roberts makes a stop.

Sutton has looked Harrogate's most dangerous player and has had a few decent shots in the game so far but that was his best effort yet.

Is that goal the spark which this game needed?

Mathias Ross has had a spell of treatment for the visitors.

Their fans who made the 500-mile round-trip for a lunchtime kick-off are having a whale of a time at present, despite having lost four straight games, and six in a row in all competitions on this run of away games.

They are suggesting the reason Lorent Tolaj left Port Vale was because they are... not good. But not as politely.

We're finally back under way again at Gillingham and Barnet are straight on the front foot, probing around the Gills penalty area.

He attacked it really well, that's a striker for you.

He's the Ibrahimovic of the lower league.

It makes such a difference by closing down and it's gone just how we wanted it to.

The second half is under way at the Exercise Stadium.

Both teams are unchanged and it looks like the approaches are the same too with another foul and another Evan Weir free-kick for Walsall plunged into Harrogate's box and a couple of long throws added in for good measure in the opening minutes here.

We're back under way at Harrogate with Port Vale just about to resume and Gillingham v Barnet to follow in a few more minutes.

Some shocking news to bring you, the PA announcer at Vale Park has uttered the words Merry Christmas on the afternoon of 22 November... we'd best get in the loft for the decorations later on then...

Neither side has dominated, neither side has looked the better one.

Devante Cole will be kicking himself for not putting away that golden chance.

It was getting a little tetchy as they started going down the tunnel, it's probably the most fire we've seen this afternoon.

The quality just hasn't been there - it's a typical game for two sides at the bottom of the league.

All square at the break.

The Bees could've probably found themselves at least another goal to the good if they'd taken their chances.

But Bradley Dack's phenomenal free-kick for Gillingham just before the half-time whistle has restored parity.

Walsall are deservedly ahead at the break.

Daniel Kanu's opener showed a great balance of composure and determination after a 45 minutes filled with fouls and set-pieces.

Harrogate pose a threat from long-throws but need to get their finishing right and Walsall's Evan Weir's free-kicks are causing issues for the hosts.

A game long on endeavour but desperately short of quality, if we're honest. You can see why they are the bottom two.

Vale have grown into the game but their goal drought is now 409 minutes, despite huffing and puffing they haven't really come close to blowing anything goalwards.

Plymouth have not offered a lot either.

We await our first shot on target of the match.

The only way is up after the break.

A melee in the tunnel as the players head off for half-time might have just spiced things up in the second half, however.
