Great save Cornell. Dives down low at the feet of Woods to deny him. It’s a lucky deflection off a Deeney blocked shot that puts his through but it’s a great save.

Double change for the Blues at the break. Defender Dion Sanderson and DM Ivan Sunjic for Winger Bela full back Roberts. Looks like a change in shape. Posh are making them wait a long time, they;ve been out for a couple of minutes.

Brief scare with Thompson down but I think he’ll soldier on until the break.

Well wide on the half volley from Gardner about 30 yards out. The move threatened to be more dangerous but Edwards stepped out in front of Deeney and knocked him off the ball.

Great interception as Birmingham looked to set break away down the right through Chong but Butler slides in to stop that move. Butler’s ball went into a good area but Deeney was the only man there.

Birmingham and seriously rocking at the back and Posh really could get in at the break up by 3. Great interplay between Taylor and Dembele creates space on the edge of the box for Butler to cross into JCH, headed out by Butler. Corner.
