Owen Moffat does superbly to twist inside the Wrexham box before gliding past another defender but his shot at the end lets him down, skewing wide of the upright.

Stuart Moore makes an important save on this occasion, pushing Kai Evans’ piledriver from the edge of the box over the bar.

Ryan Austin directs a header towards goal from a threatening corner but Stuart Moore watches it wide.

Jake Bickerstaff is given too much time and space to turn in the box before rifling a low shot across Moore.

Pool have really stepped off it since the first goal.

HT: Wrexham 2-1 Blackpool

Stephen Dobbie’s side were in complete control early on but lost their way for a while after the hosts took the lead in soft circumstances.

Back in it thanks to Donovan Lescott’s deflected effort.

We’re back underway

Wrexham, leading 2-1 from the first-half, get the game restarted.

Owen Moffat is substituted. Not sure if he’s picked up a knock or not, but Joe Strawn replaces him.

A deep corner into the Blackpool box misses everyone before being side footed over by Reece Hall-Johnson. Let-off for Pool there.

Dannen Francis does well to pick out Tayt Trusty but the midfielder’s shot is well blocked. That’s the first time the visitors have threatened this half.
