LIVE: PRESTON NORTH END v PETERBOROUGH UNITED: Posh go down by a single goal but well beaten at Deepdale

First corner of the game and Preston nearly score, Ledson puts it on the head of Hughes as the back post, heads it across to Ledson and he heads towards goal, Pym has to punch the ball over. Good save.

Posh definitely putting more balls into the box this half, JCH had nothing to feed off in that first half, JCH putting himself about but yet to do it with great success.

Emil Riis replaces Sinclair upfront

Straight away the subs nearly work wonders, Marriott flashes a cross into the six yard box towards Szmodics, however, he just can’t get there.

Dembele off for Marriott and Szmodics replaces Burrows.

Ledson picks out Maguire but his header across goal is cleared away to safety.

Preston with another chance to put a ball in the Posh box after Butler drags down Ledson on the right, around 35 yards out.

Johnson clips in a ball, Pym out confidently to claim and sets Burrows away on the left. His cross across the face to JCH is cut out by Hughes and almost falls to Dembele arriving on the edge of the box, unlucky.

Looked as if Posh were in, Grant scoops a delicious cross into JCH in the six0yard box and his looping header has Iversen at full stretch to keep it out but the flag goes up from the linesman. Good game now. Posh looking brighter going forward.

Quick free-kick taken by Johnson catches Posh out, mind ouy the ball has rolled 10 yards forward from the foul and the ref has just allowed play to continue. Sinclair cuts in from the left and forces a save from Pym with his feet as the ball is looping up as Posh try to clear, in comes Whiteman with a rocket of a shot, just wide of the near post.
