Derby player sent off 3rd min

Going to be hard tonight

Both Domingos Quina and Remy Vita have seen plenty of the ball on the left flank and are keen to run at the Cardiff defence.

Josh Benson's earlier strike still the best opportunity so far...

Morrison coming off. Looks like a nasty ankle injury. An early blow for City.

Aden Flint replaces him.

A long throw from Vaulks falls to the feet of Doyle, 20 yards from goal, he swipes at it but it veers wide of the mark.

Hugill does well to fashion an opportunity to get a cross into the box, but it's cleared comfortably by the hosts' defence.

Watters latches on to the ball as Cardiff break, but decides to shoot instead of laying the ball into Drameh's path and his shot ricochets back off him and out for a goal kick. Wrong option from the forward there.

Watters still not Hmmmm?

Alfie Doughty just getting into the game a bit more now. Played a couple of nice balls through down the left and moving City up the pitch.

Chance!

A long throw falls to Watters at the back post and he lays it back to Doyle on the 18-yard line, but he arches back and sends his effort over the bar.

Better from Cardiff, though.

City now coming in to the game more

Another dangerous Doyle cross, but it's cleared. Cardiff looking the most likely at the minute.
