Jonson Clarke-Harris takes the free-kick but it goes well over Roos' goal.

Peterborough win a free-kick in a dangerous position.

Craig Forsyth is booked.

We will play another 11 minutes here.

Derby almost there!

Posh also make their final change, as Harrison Burrows replaces Mark Beevers.

Derby starting to put the pressure on here.

Sibley puts a low cross in, but there's too much on it for the stretching Jack Stretton.

The ball comes to Ravel Morrison inside the box, but his effort is well blocked by Frankie Kent.

Peterborough's first change sees Siriki Dembele return from injury, as he replaces Jack Marriott.

Mark Beevers crosses from the left-hand side and it finds Nathan Thompson, whose header goes over the crossbar.

The Rams have made their second change.

Louie Sibley replaces Festy Ebosele.

The ball is played back to Roos and his attempted pass is charged down by Marriott.

Luckily for Derby it went into Stearman and the danger was cleared.

Both sides have players go down. 

Clarke-Harris for Peterborough and Lawrence for Derby.

Luckily, both are able to continue.

Huge blow for the visitors as Colin Kazim-Richards leaves the pitch on a stretcher. 

He is replaced by youngster Jack Stretton.

Peterborough have the first effort in the second half as Jorge Grant strikes from long-range, but Roos gets down well to make the save.

Derby win a free-kick and captain Tom Lawrence delivers a cross, but it's poor and straight out for a goal-kick.

 

Clarke-Harris lets fly from distance and it goes through Roos' legs, but luckily for Derby, the ball bounces back to him instead of into the net.

Butler gets a cross in from the left and finds Clarke-Harris, who was under pressure from Craig Forsyth and heads off target.

 

Joel Randall plays the ball into the box and finds Jack Marriott, but a heavy touch lets him down and Derby are able to clear.

From the corner the ball comes back out to Graeme Shinnie, who has a strike but it's comfortable for Christy Pym.

Festy Ebosele does well on the right-hand side and gets a cross in, which is put behind for a Derby corner.

Derby are seeing a lot of the ball in the early stages but haven't done much with it.

No chances yet for either side.

Roos' poor ball early on saw Posh gain possession and Jonson Clarke-Harris played it out to Dan Butler, who put too much on the cross and it went for a throw-in.

The teams make their way out on the pitch and we're just moments away from kick-off!
