Injury update on Dujon Sterling and Kevin Stewart

The derby ends with one win apiece.

The Seasiders can have no complaints whatsoever with this result. So, so poor. Not sure Neil Critchley can defend this one.

Just over from Keshi Anderson. Not a bad effort, but not good enough.

Four mintues will be added on.

Josh Bowler is fouled a few yards outside the PNE box. Free-kick.

Ethan Robson picks out one of the middle rows in the Kop. Blackpool's quality found wanting again in the final third.

Preston think the ref has awarded a penalty for a Marvin Ekpiteta handball, but he had actually signalled for a goal kick.
