Get it done, Tim...

Alfie Devine curls in a free-kick from deep on the left after Ryoya Morishita was adjudged to have bundled over Jordan Thompson, but the makeshift Rovers defence are just about able to clear their lines this time.

Lewis Gibson manages to prod a low cross from Oladapo Afolayan just past his own post to concede a sixth corner of the half, which is swung in by Yuri Ribeiro and bobbles about before being poked into the grateful arms of Daniel Iversen.

Ryoya Morishita has also lashed high and wide from just outside the box as Rovers frustration starts to show,

What a chance for Lincoln, who should be ahead.

A long diagonal pass finds Andrei Coubis in space down the right and he cuts the ball back to Ben House who fails to make proper contact with a strike as it bounces away from danger.

A let-off for Southampton.

Charlton made a change in the wake of that third goal by the way, as Tyreece Simpson was replaced by Dan McNamara.

And now Sam Gallagher has twanged a hamstring for Stoke and has to come off. Robert Bozenik is on.

Could have been three.

Aynsley Pears does brilliantly to race off his line and dive at the feet of Delano Burgzorg as he's slotted through the middle by Leo Leroy's teasing ball after Preston won the ball back in the middle of the park.

Blackburn have had 71% of the ball, three times as many passes completed, five shots to Preston's three, all five corners in the match, and find themselves 2-0 down after half-an-hour.

Tough on Tony Mowbray, that.

The last 10 minutes have been much better from Southampton.

They come close again as James Bree sends a gorgeous curled cross into the box, Cyle Larin gets there first but his header is narrowly over the crossbar.

Three goals in 10 minutes and your whole season can change. Maybe.

The Bet365 is bouncing.

It would have been poetic on his second full Southampton debut but James Ward-Prowse did not get this one close to threatening Lincoln keeper George Wickens.

His right-footed strike is pulled low and well past the left-hand post.

Yuri Ribeiro has his name taken by Anthony Backhouse after bundling over Stan Mills on the right edge of the Rovers area after some good wing-play from the new arrival.

We have brief stoppage as Callum Lang is sent off to get a new shirt as he has blood on his pristine white top.

His new one has no name or number, which always looks unusual.

Leo Scienza is fouled about 30 yards out from goal.

James Ward-Prowse is stood over the freekick...

Ryan Alebiosu almost got involved in the Puskas Award conversation with an absolute scorcher from 30 yards out.

It was always rising and ends up flashing six inches over Daniel Iversen's bar.

Should be 1-1.

Brilliant from Ryoya Morishita as he pounces on a loose ball after Caleb Wiley is robbed and drives down the right.

He slots a neat ball through for Andri Gudjohnsen on the right of the box and then gets into the middle to meet the Icelander's bobbling cut-back only to blaze over the bar from near the penalty spot with Daniel Iversen in no-man's land.

Morishita drops to his knees with his hands over his face.

Southampton have been knocking the ball around nicely across the last few moments, building up some pressure on their opponents as they force them deeper.

Saints then lose possession and Lincoln play the ball backwards but Cyle Larin closes down the Lincoln goalkeeper George Wickens.

He loses control of a pass back to him and has to head the ball on the floor behind for a corner, Phil Jones style!

Justin Devenny is sky high after that early goal. He demands a free-kick about 35 yards out and cannons it a mile over the top.

Much better from Stoke since the opener though.
