FULL TIME: Honours even at the SEAH Stadium - we hope you enjoyed that.

Mariners' yellow card.

Tinkler booked for stepping across Dinanga as he looked to go past him, wide on the left.

And yet another chance!

Lawal stretches but can't turn home Cawthorne's header across goal from a corner.

Another chance!

Lawal spins and fires over at the near post.

What a finish!

The visitors go close from a late set-piece but Gracey uses ever centimetre of his reach to claw away an effort that Gordon then meets on the rebound, putting the ball into the turf and it bounces up over the bar.

The Bucks level from the free-kick!

It's an unstoppable Jordan Piggott header to Watson's right, into the far corner - what a time to get your first of the season!

PIGGOOOOOO!!!!

PIGGOOOOOO!!!!

The Bucks are awarded an attacking free-kick...

The visitors lead.

The free-kick, contested loud and long, punishes the Bucks, as Scott heads home the delivery from the right.

Oliver Cawthorne is booked after contact with Blackett.

Lawal sends a low shot wide after Hilton retrieves a deep cross.

Fletcher's crossfield ball to Cranston is controlled on the chest and then sent forward to Dinanga, who tries to spin away down the line but puts the ball out of play.

Bucks substitution.

ON: Ola Lawal. OFF: Matty Stenson.

Oh my, how has Scott not scored? Put through on Gracey, Josh closes the angle but Scott slips it wide of him, but also the far post.

Dinanga has a chance to run at the left-back, he crosses low and George's run to the near post is tracked, he can't turn onto the ball.

Cawthorne's ball forward is picked off and the Mariners advance through substitute Gordon. They work a shooting chance for Scott under pressure, and Gracey gets down to his right to hold.

Bucks substitution.

ON: Ricardo Dinanga. OFF: Charlie Williams.

Bucks substitution.

ON: Adan George. OFF: Remi Walker.

Will Jenkins volleys an effort over for the visitors.

Mariners' substitution.

ON: Lemar Gordon. OFF: Lennon Wheeldon.

ATTENDANCE: 1,272.

Thank you for your support this afternoon, it's hugely appreciated.

Close!

Stenson meets a cross from the left and directs it wide of Watson's right post, but not by much.

Bucks substitution.

ON: Rhys Hilton. OFF: Jamie Meddows.

Mariners' booking.

Blackett = black mark. He's in the book for a foul on Cranston, rather cynical from the striker to halt a Bucks' advance.

Mariners' substitution.

ON: Dan Ward. OFF: Sean McGurk.

Bucks booking.

Williams is flagged offside and it's a marginal call that the home fans disagree with and Charlie does too. He's booked by referee Lee Hible for his protests.

The ball is in the net for the Bucks but the play has already been halted for an infringement, an offside, I think. That was so longer after the whistle that I didn't even see who finished it.

The game has livened up, with the Bucks showing a bit more attacking intent and that's lifted the crowd. Shields carry no less of a threat, but the Bucks have a bit more purpose to them.

Williams gets another chance to advance on the left, Stenson ducking under the ball to allow it to run. His cross is dangerous, Stenson can't make contact.

Both teams are a bit lax in possession, the Bucks advance through Williams on the left and his cross is met by Stenson, not powerfully enough, and Watson claws the ball away, with no player in white able to capitalise.

Dyer's loose pass almost allows McGurk a chance to advance, Gracey collects and just gestures to his colleagues to calm down.

We're back in progress...

Neither team has made any substitutions at the interval.

HALF TIME: Level at the break.

Bucks booking.

Jamie Meddows is into the referee's notebook for a foul, the Bucks defend the free-kick from Jenkins, which glances up off a defender's head and invites a proper headed clearance, and gets one. We'll play a minimum of one additional minute.

Walker closes down Robbie Tinkler, but the Mariners' captain's backpass comes off Remi for a goal-kick.

Walker closes down Robbie Tinkler, but the Mariners' captain's backpass comes off Remi for a goal-kick.

Fletcher stays upright and gets a firm foot in to halt a Mariners' advance, and the Bucks then try to set Stenson free, but he's outnumbered and help doesn't get to him before Shields regain possession.

For a second it looks like Blackett is in but his effort is blocked, the Bucks aim to clear and Jenkins upends Leshabela, Bucks' free-kick, but not the booking the home fans feel should have been given.

The Bucks come forward, Piggott advancing and helping them to set up a bit more play closer to the Mariners' goal. A couple of crosses are dealt with by the visitors, and the home fans' frustration is evident.

Walker turns over possession, Shields a bit loose, and Meddows comes forward but is outnumbered. Shields try to transition quickly and Scott goes down, no foul is given. He stays down, but obviously felt he should have got the call.

Cawthorne gets a bit of good fortune, a slip comes back to him off Blackett and enables him to find Cranston to clear.

Luke Woolston's trip on Walker stops Remi from breaking away from his half. Home fans ask for a booking, the Bucks will get just a free-kick.

Dyer covers well, preventing Will Jenkins getting beyond him to reach a ball aimed to the far post from the right.

The Bucks capitalise on a bit of loose possession from Shields and it allows Piggott to advance and take a shot from 25 yards that Watson fumbles a bit in front of his face, taking it at the second attempt.

Walker is flagged offside, trying to advance onto a ball played from the back.

A bit of friction between Wheeldon and Meddows but Jamie quickly drops back in, the Bucks aren't going to be able to leave anyone unattended for long today. McGurk crosses, that's a bit wild and out of play, a real contrast to the visitors's control.

The Bucks finally get a little more possession and it ends with a cross towards Stenson from the right that hurries Watson in the Shields goal into claiming the ball.

The Bucks concede a corner, sliding in to turn Sean McGurk's low cross away from goal. The Bucks defend the corner, but the possession stats here must be something like 80/20 at the moment, Shields dominating in possession.

Alex Fletcher is called for a foul on Ethan Mann, I think, Mann didn't like the contact and kicks out at Fletcher. Shields take the free-kick quickly and Cawthorne covers Blackett's run, Gracey races from his line and pushes the ball away from the striker's feet.

Blackett turns an effort wide from only a few yards out, arriving at the far post to meet a low ball in but steering it wide to Gracey's right.

Another goal attempt from the Mariners as some Bucks possession breaks down and Cedwyn Scott takes aim over Gracey from 40 yards or so and sends it wide, too high too.

Blackett advances onto a quick ball forwards and takes the shot on his right, but bends it wide to Gracey's left from 20 yards.

It's been mostly the Mariners so far, the Bucks mindful of their threat and looking to close them down. A ball in from the left by Danny Dodds reaches Blackett, he stretches to nudge the ball at goal, and Gracey drops to his right to collect.

Gracey's had to gather the ball a couple of times as the Mariners seek to make early inroads. The Bucks will be expecting to spend time out of possession today against a side comfortable on the ball.

Jordan Piggott stretches to cut out a ball aimed for Paul Blackett, Oliver Cawthorne puts Josh Gracey under pressure with a back pass and then slips, the Bucks survive a nervy moment.
