    Former Aston Villa midfielder on Sky Sports

    Ryan Stirk gets caught out on the ball and then it's the ability to counter-attack quickly [for Notts].

    [Tom] Iorpenda puts a lovely ball into an area. Look at Luker at the back post. It's a really good run.

    There's not much to pick out but then it's just about hitting the target.

  2. Cagey affairpublished at 18:55 BST 10 May

    HT: Chesterfield 0-1 Notts County

    One big chance in that first half for Chesterfield and it came from the penalty spot, but Lee Bonis could not convert.

    Pretty much all of the xG the Spireites managed was from that.

    As for County, one shot, one goal from just 0.2xG.

    It's advantage Notts County.

    Notts County grew into the game after the opening penalty miss. It's been a little bit bitty, but we're only a quarter of the way through.

    Paul Cook will want a bit more in terms of dominating possession and getting the ball in the wide areas I think.

  4. HALF-TIMEpublished at 18:48 BST 10 May

    A very cagey first half but it is Notts County who lead at the break through their only shot of the game.

    Chesterfield had a golden opportunity to go in front after just six minutes when Liam Mandeville was brought down in the area by Lucas Ness.

    But Lee Bonis smashed his penalty against the post and the hosts were punished 22 minutes later when Jayden Luker slid in at the far post after good work by Tom Iorpenda.

    There hasn't been a shot in the game since that goal.

    Chesterfield have not had a shot since the sixth minute.

    The shot? Lee Bonis' missed penalty which bounced out off the base of the post.

  7. YELLOW CARDpublished at 43 mins

    Chesterfield 0-1 Notts County

    County winger Jodi Jones with the most blatant push you will see with two hands into the back of Sam Curtis.

    And now Jones has a yellow card as well as Curtis. Those two will have to tread a little more carefully now in that battle out wide.

    Chesterfield 0-1 Notts County

    Not a great deal in the way of goalmouth action since Notts County's opener.

    In fact, nothing in the way of goalmouth action. Not a single shot since Jayden Luker slid the visitors ahead 14 minutes ago.

    At the minute it's the Notts fans on the far side who are making the noise.

    As we know, there's plenty more twist and turns from here on in.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 40 mins

    Chesterfield 0-1 Notts County

    Armando Dobra has tried to soldier on for Chesterfield after landing awkwardly a little earlier and hurting his shoulder.

    But he can play no further part and looks very disappointed as he storms straight down the tunnel.

    Will Dickson is on to replace the former Ipswich man.

  11. YELLOW CARDpublished at 37 mins

    Chesterfield 0-1 Notts County

    First yellow card of the game goes to Chesterfield right-back Sam Curtis for a coming together with Jodi Jones.

    Play had gone on but the referee comes back to it after the County move breaks down.

    Ryan Stirk is slipped into the left channel for Chesterfield and tries to play a ball back across the box... but it's a complete airshot.

    We've all been there, Ryan...

    It comes to nothing.

    Notts County's goal was their only shot of the game so far.

    How will Chesterfield respond? They've beaten Notts County in their past three meetings.

    The hosts have got a free-kick midway inside the Magpies half.

    Chesterfield 0-1 Notts County

    The Notts County fans are in good voice after that opener. It's 11 years since they were last in League One.

    They have taken one very small baby step with that opening goal.

    Long way to go of course.

    It's good work initially from Jatta and Luker was lurking at the far post.

    It looked like Ryan Boot got a good hand on it but he only managed to shove it into the back of the net.

    Boot had no chance with it and it's 1-0 Notts County.

    Advantage Notts County!

    Tom Iorpenda is fed in on the right and he slides a wonderful ball across the face of goal and Jayden Luker is there at the back post to squeeze it in from close range.

    Chesterfield keeper Ryan Boot gets a touch on it but cannot keep it out.

    Chesterfield 0-0 Notts County

    Chesterfield boss Paul Cook takes the opportunity of the break in play to have a word with his players.

    Cook has taken charge of four EFL play-off campaigns before but is yet to win promotion from them. He will really want to end that record in the next couple of weeks.

    Back under way again but Armando Dobra is still being checked over.

    Chesterfield 0-0 Notts County

    Alassana Jatta times his run forward well for Notts County to and has some space to attack on the left hand side.

    But he cannot pick out a green shirt in the middle and the move breaks down.

    Armando Dobra is just down for Chesterfield at the moment after landing awkwardly following a challenge by Lucas Ness.

    Break in play while Dobra gets treatment.

    Chesterfield 0-0 Notts County

    Past the 20-minute mark and Notts County are yet to have a shot.

    Just the two so far for Chesterfield and one of those was from the penalty spot but Lee Bonis could only find the upright.

    Safe to say that is by far the biggest chance of the game up to this point.
