Late Bucks pressure and a Dyer shot brings a corner on the right. Armson meets the near post delivery and steers the ball over Urwin's bar.

'

A minimum of five additional minutes added by the officials.

'

Dinanga involved in some pinball at the near post, the Bucks earn a corner on the left. The corner doesn't bring a direct threat but they patiently work a shooting chance. Hilton sends a rising effort into Urwin's gloves from 18 yards.

'

Clarke's handball gives the Bucks a free-kick wide on the left. They try but can't work it into the box.

'

Magpies chance.

Ellis is located by a free-kick aimed to the right of the box, and he sends a low shot fizzing through the six-yard box and wide.

'

The Magpies get another set-piece chance and Mark Ellis peels away to the back post to volley the ball down into the turf and wide, that's a let-off.

'

German smashes the ball past Gracey, but the whistle had long since gone, Williams fouled as he made a brave clearing header.

'

DAH can't pick out a colleague in the centre from the left of the box.

'

This game is up for grabs now, and the Bucks need to rediscover some of the dominance they had in the first period.

'
The Magpies are level.

Lalkovic smashes his kick down the middle to beat Gracey and tie this game up.

Magpies penalty!

A foul by Cranston, he's booked.

We've a stoppage for an injury to Khanya Leshabela.

The Bucks deal with another Magpies corner and break quickly, Walker lays the ball into the path of the overlapping Cranston and his low ball can't be met by Williams.

'
The visitors cut the gap.

The visitors cut the gap.

The Bucks are unable to deal with a corner won by Clarke's shot across Gracey that the keeper turned wide with his left. From the delivery, the Bucks couldn't clear and Adam Henley lashed the ball high past Gracey from 8-10 yards out.

'

Chorley appeals for a free-kick not given. DAH can't keep the ball in play from the ball played to the left, but Dylan is the outlet almost every time, understandably.

'
Magpies booking.

Magpies booking.

Harvey Smith decides DAH won't go past him this time, brings him down, and is shown the game's first yellow card. Williams takes the free-kick and beats the wall but not Urwin, it bounces in front of him and he holds.

'

Fletcher helps to mop up at the back and then sets the Bucks going forward. A ball laid into Walker's path is cleared just as he's about to make contact.

'

Sampson strays offside, so his angled low shot off Gracey's legs will count for little.

We're back in progress with no substitutions by either manager...

Dylan close to a third!

Dylan close to a third!

The Bucks play through the Magpies again, find DAH on the right of the box, a Meddows pass, and Dylan lets fly although Walker was an option. The ball is travelling, and how, as it scorches past Urwin, but also the far post.

'

Lalkovic earns a Magpies corner on the right. The kick tests Gracey, who has a whole mischief of Magpies around him but punches clear under pressure.

'

The Bucks have their second and it's not far off a carbon copy of their first. DAH was found in the Magpies half with Smith ahead of him; Dylan knew he had the beating of Smith, nudged it past him and accelerated onto it to drill past Urwin again.

'

Dylan at the double!

Dylan at the double!
'

The Magpies go close again!

Sampson's good work in the box eventually brings a corner, the Bucks on red alert at Gracey's right post. The corner is taken, partially cleared and Owen German volleys it back at goal, wide to Gracey's right.

'

Close!

Sampson's volleyed effort from 20-25 yards flies just wide of Gracey's left post. That was out of nowhere and almost caught Josh out.

'

The Magpies have a chance from a set-piece into the box, it's flicked on by Smith's head and Gracey plunges onto it to gather as Taelor O'Kane lurked.

'

Oh, that's a let off. DAH makes ground into space on the left, Walker is sprinting in support in the centre and Dylan's pass for him is a foot or so too far in front of him, he was free and would surely have tested Urwin at the very least.

'

The Bucks have the breakthrough they'll feel they deserve, and a terrific ball splits the Chorley defence down the centre, sending Dylan Allen-Hadley sprinting through, he shows great control and a finish to match, drilling the ball under Urwin.

'
Dylan making sweet music again!

Dylan making sweet music again!

Dylan making sweet music again!
'

Defender Harvey Smith's midriff stops a Dyer cross from the right of the box, the home fans appeal for a penalty but the Bucks' players didn't appeal, which probably tells you whether it hit Smith's arm or not.

'

Lots of Bucks possession, Chorley active in closing them down as they probe for opportunities.

'

We've a break in play for attention to Chorley's Milan Lalkovic.

'

Close!

A smashing ball from Remi Walker inside Blakeman on the Chorley left finds Meddows on the move, he crosses low from the goal line and Allen-Hadley makes a near post run, and must have got the last touch in the assistant's eyes, it's a goal-kick.

'

Very competitive in the early stages, Charlie Williams has a cross cut out, the Bucks regain possession and Williams gets a chance to shoot from the resulting play, but sends it well wide to Matt Urwin's right.

'

Piggott cuts out Warren Clarke's low cross from the left, Alex Fletcher and Jamie Meddows help to run the ball clear.

'

Adam Henley wins a throw on the right, Adam Blakeman sends a long one into the penalty area, looking for Jack Sampson, and after a bit of a scrum the Bucks clear.

'

We're in progress...

Chorley kick the game off, and they're attacking the goal at the Hamer Leisure Stand end in the first half,

'

COLOURS: The Bucks will wear all white, their usual home kit, this evening, and kudos to kitman Tom Mansell for getting it clean after last week's mudbath. Our visitors, the Magpies, will wear all maroon, with a white pinstripe in their shirts.
