Joel Randall has missed an absolute sitter. Dembele jinks past two men on the edge of the box, rolls across to Randall on the right of the box. He’s al on his own, can put it on to his preferred foot but hacks wildly over instead. What a bad miss, that was surely the chance for Posh.

Right, it looks like we’re off with a significantly reduced crowd than before.

The teams are back out but the lights are not on full beam. The 20 minutes is an estimation of how long they take to get up to full power.

There’s just been an announcement that the game will resume in around 20 minutes. Lights still off though, so no idea how accurate that is.

80 minutes on the clock and the light have gone here.

A strange burning smell in the air, hope it’s not the electrics.

Stragiht into the wall from JCH.

Cynical foul from Andersen puts his arm up to bring down Szmodics as he flicks the ball past him and bears down on goal. he has a partner alongside him so it’s only a yellow but it was an excellent ball forward from Edwards.

Absolutely horrible corner from Butler, absolutely shanks it to the first man.

Great run from Szmodics, surges past Andersen, clips back a ball, JCH can’t react as its behind him but Randall leaves it for Norburn who is arriving and looking to shoot. It’s blocked in the end but Posh look like they’re coming back into it after a lull.
