0' Three points are at stake. Rotherham United FC host Sheffield Wednesday FC — let the battle begin!
5' It looks like no one’s ball. Rotherham United FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
10' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
15' The energy levels are beginning to show. Steve Bruce might look to freshen things up shortly.
20' A quiet spell here at New York Stadium. Sheffield Wednesday FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
25' Sheffield Wednesday FC come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
27' The referee calls foul for Joe Mattock. He receives a Yellow card.
32' Michael Ihiekwe needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 39 Yellow cards this season.
35' Fernando Forestieri makes no mistake. The score reads 0-1 and Sheffield Wednesday FC are in front.
37' What composure from Jon Taylor! The England international strokes it home. 1-1.
39' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Semi Ajayi.
44' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Sheffield Wednesday FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.

84' Rotherham United FC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
89' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Joe Mattock suffering a number of foals already.
90' A stunning finish from Dominic Iorfa — that came from absolutely nowhere!
90' The referee calls foul for Fernando Forestieri. He receives a Yellow card.
90' A change in the Sheffield Wednesday FC ranks — Jordan Thorniley exits the field as Dominic Iorfa enters on 90.
2-2 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
