FULL TIME Town 1 Leyton Orient 2

88 - SUBSTITUTION: Simon Ferry replaces Michael Rose.

84 - McGovern's free-kick is headed back across goal by Austin, cleared, and subsequently skewed wide by McGovern on the volley.

79 - Austin goes close to equalising for Town as he pulls down a Rose cross well and volleys first time, but Jones is again on hand to deny him.

71 - GOAL! Alex Revell puts Orient in front. The former Town loanee powered a free kick through the Town wall into the bottom corner to turn the game on its head.

67 - GOAL! Orient back on terms through Ryan Jarvis. The striker was played in well by Jarvis, and powered into the box before drilling a left-footed shot into the roof of the net. Town make a double substitution with Alan O'Brien and David Ball being replaced by Kevin Amankwaah and Thomas Dossevi respectively.

65 - Town break swiftly and McGovern plays a wonderful crossfield pass into the path of Ball, who cuts inside nicely, but bends his shot wide of the far post from just inside the penalty area.

63 - Jarvis again squanders a good opportunity as he rises well at the back post but nods narrowly wide of the post.

60 - Orient are enjoying their best period of the match and go close again as Ryan Jarvis finds himself unmarked inside the area but can only head over from eight yards out when he should have done better.

56 - Phil Smith called into action for the first time as he fingertips a powerful Alex Revell drive out for a corner. An excellent save from Smith who had been completely untroubled until Revell let fly.

54 - Prutton breaks swiftly and plays in David Ball who turns well and shoots left footed into the side netting from 10 yards out.

48 - The first chance of the half falls to Charlie Austin as he meets an excellent Michael Rose cross but can't keep his header down and it flies over the bar.

Jonathan Douglas

8.50pm - The second half kicks off with Town attacking the vacant Town End.

HALF TIME Town 1 Leyton Orient 0

45 + 3 - Prutton goes close again as he collects Ball's cross on the edge of the box and shoots narrowly wide with his left foot.

45 - Austin does well to set O'Brien away behind the Orient defence and the winger's low cross finds David Prutton unmarked from six yards out, but the midfielder's left-footed shot is saved at point blank range by Jones. Town's lead really should have been doubled.

43 - Ball plays the ball through to Austin, and the strike takes an early shot under pressure, but Jones collects the rolling ball comfortably.

40 - Paul Caddis tries his luck from 25 yards out with a curling left-footed effort which Orient 'keeper Jamie Jones stretches well to parry and collect.

Jon-Paul McGovern celebrates his goal

35 - GOAL! J-P McGovern gives Town the lead. David Ball did well to beat his man inside the box and cross low towards McGovern who found himself unmarked at the back post, and side-footed the ball calmly home into the corner.

20 - Town continue to pass the ball around neatly, but are struggling to create any further clear cut chances.

13 - A signature sweeping crossfield pass from Jonathan Douglas finds the advancing Paul Caddis, whose low cross is cleared well by Terrell Forbes with David Ball ready to pounce on the back post.

10 - A great chance goes begging for Town, as neat link up play between Caddis and McGovern on the right sees the former Celtic youngster cross low for Charlie Austin, who scuffs his shot from 8 yards out, and the oppportunity passes.

David Prutton

3 - A bright start from Town almost sees them take the lead as Michael Rose's deflected shot skims the crossbar and goes out for a corner, which is subsequently cleared.

7.45pm - The match kicks off with Town shooting towards the vacant Adkins Family Stand.

7.30pm - After a torrential mid-afternoon downpour, The County Ground is bathed in evening sunshine as we prepare for kick-off.

6.45pm - The teams are in. Danny Wilson has made two changes from the side that lost 2-1 to Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, with Paul Caddis and Alan O'Brien replacing Thomas Dossevi and Kevin Amankwaah. David Ball moves up front alongside Charlie Austin.
