MK Dons vs Notts County - LIVE

HALF TIME: MK Dons 0-0 Notts County

Not a terrible 0-0, but nothing much in the way of chances either.

Both sides keen to get it down and play, County probably just about edging it in terms of control, Dons though with the better chances just about.

Two minutes to be added on as Maguire takes aim from range, and wide of the mark

39 mins: Third booking

Yellow card for Notts County’s Sam Austin as he drags down Tomlinson

35 mins: Maguire goes down

Treatment needed for Maguire as he does his job at the other end now, chasing down Sam Austin, looks like he’s twisted his knee down there

33 mins: Kelly should shoot

It looked as though things were opening up for Liam Kelly there on the edge of the box, but instead he opts to feed it wide to Maguire, but the defender is forced too wide, his cross goes into the side netting

24 mins: Gilbey wide again

The skipper again just misses the target, but great stuff from Kelly and Tomlinson to set up the chance, Gilbey putting wide from 10 yards

18 mins: White into the book

That looked a harsh one as White is adjudged to have handled after Palmer flicks the ball into his arm from close range.

The free-kick is whipped in by Tsaroulla, it’s dangerous, McGill flaps enough at it to put it onto the post

15 mins: Gilbey just over

Great effort from the skipper after a nice Dons move, fizzed through the air, but just over Bass’ bar

14 mins: County on top

Not often do teams come here and dominate the ball as much as Notts County have, but that’s the way it has started

9 mins: Kelly into the book

Bedeau sent tumbling 45 yards out, Kelly into the book

Good counter from a County corner, Kelly’s cross-field ball finds Gilbey who wins a free-kick 30 yards out. Dons have barely been in this third of the pitch thus far.

The set-piece is played short, Tomlinson crosses for Lemonheigh-Evans to head back across goal but keeper Alex Bass gathers

3 mins: County corner

Not much resistance for Nick Tsaroulla as he breaks down the left for Notts County, he loses Lemonheigh-Evans to cross, which is deflected behind for a corner.

Nothing comes of the set-piece but County are keeping the pressure up early on

1 mins: Kelly takes aim early

Promoted up the field with the inclusion of Carroll, Liam Kelly gets a sight of goal early on, taking aim from the edge of the box but it skids just wide

Scott Hogan gets the game underway
