72' - GOAL ROVERS!
A lovely header from Luke Molyneux!

Double switch for Wednesday as George Byers and Michael Smith replace Jay Glover and Lee Gregory.

46' - BACK UNDERWAY
Jon Taylor takes the kick-off and we are up and running once again.
📸 - ACTION

That was a really encouraging half of football from a Rovers perspective, full of energy and intent.
45' - ADDED TIME
There will be a minimum of one minute added at the end of the first half.
37' - GREAT INTENSITY ABOUT ROVERS' APPROACH
Whether on or off the ball, there has been a real energy about Rovers in this game so far. They have closed the ball down superbly and sprung onto the front foot quickly whenever possession has been turned over.
32' - OPPORTUNITY FOR THE VISITORS
Callum Paterson sized up a shot from 20 yards but put it wide of the top corner.
23' - BIG CHANCE
Joe Ironside did brilliantly to carry the ball from half way and pass inside to Tommy Rowe who was put clear into the box for the shot, only for Reece James to slide in and block out for a corner.
18' - CHANCE AND A BRILLIANT SAVE
Rovers piled on the pressure and had Wednesday firmly on the back foot. The ball was flicked forward to Tommy Rowe who lashed a shot on goal which was batted away superbly by Wednesday keeper Cameron Dawson.
16' - SOME REALLY GOOD STUFF
Rovers are moving the ball really well in the opposition half and there's opportunities to be hand.
11' - GOOD CHANCE
The ball dropped nicely for Jon Taylor and invited the shot from 20 yards. He caught it well but sent it just off target.
8' - OFF THE LINE
New boy Tom Nixon comes to Rovers' rescue. It was an unfortunate passage of play for Rovers as an attempted clearance struck Owen Bailey and put Callum Paterson through on goal. He clipped the ball over Ian Lawlor but Nixon got back in time to make te clearance while Josh Windass fired well wide with his follow-up.
6' - DANGER
Rovers push forward with real threat down the left. Tommy Rowe cut a low pass across the box to Joe Ironside who controlled well with his back to goal, turned and saw his shot blocked.
1' - UNDERWAY
And we are up and running at the Eco-Power Stadium for the first time this summer.
BEAUTIFULLY OBSERVED
