LIVE BLOG: Cambridge vs Posh

Still the Kings of Cambridgeshire!

Posh almost there, Burrows wins a free-kick one the edge of the box.

Katongo booked for being too slow to go over and take a throw.

Great header out JCH.

Jones charges clear, shows great strength to burst into the Cambridge half, has JCH and Randall free on his right, ignores both and gets tackled.

Cambridge corner.

Jones moves out to the left wing and straight away sends in a deep cross for Poku, acrobatic effort with the ball at an awkward height, Stevens has to dive to his left to push it away.

Jubril Okedina, Brandon Njoku on

James Brophy, Ryan Bennett off

Cambridge are playing so well up to the box, being let down by poor passing once there, Posh far from comfortable in this.

Cambridge come close, inches wide of the post from Lankester as he runs onto a ball played across the edge of the box and a nice stepover from Thomas.

Steer was at full-stretch

Andrew booked for a deliberate foul on Jones.

Another opportunity wasted, great little throughball for Randall to run into the left of the box, good chance to shoot but plays an awful, weak ball across the box for the keeper to fall on.

MacAuley Bonne and Adam May on

Cousins and Kachunga off

Awful effort now from EMC when the ball is cut back to him in a similar position, ballooned over the stand.

A good period for Posh though.

That should be 2-0.

Brilliant work from EMC on the left of the box. Cuts the ball back to Kyprianou in acres of space in the box, stands still and lets the ball deflect off his foot, hits the top of the bar.

Should have done better.

Low effort from Andrew hits the wall.

Knight trips Thomas on the edge of the D.

Free-kick to follow.
