    A golden opportunity for Lee Bonis for Chesterfield. That's where you want him, in the box, six yards out.

    He just needs to get anything on it and it's in the back of the net but it brushes his forehead and and goes wide.

    About 15 minutes to go and both teams are really going for it here.

    Chesterfield 1-1 Tranmere

    Oh what a chance! He has to score to be honest. Chesterfield right-back Remeao Hutton feeds in a lovely cross for striker Lee Bonis, who is all alone six yards out.

    He just shuts his eyes on it and slides the header wide...

    Top stop! Chesterfield now work a short corner which is whipped in and then headed back for Jack Simpson, who nails a volley but Harrison Male makes a fine instinctive stop.

    It's opening up nicely now - Tranmere break out of some pressure and a better pass would have sent Tom Ince in on goal...

    Chesterfield 1-1 Tranmere

    Tranmere have been much the better side for 15 minutes, that's for sure. But Chesterfield are now working up a head of steam again.

    Lee Turnbull

    I'm not going to say that Tranmere deserved the equaliser but they've been far better in this second half than they were in the whole of the first.

    They've been more on the front foot, their defensive line is 10 yards further up the pitch and they're working a lot harder.

    Tranmere have made it uncomfortable for Chesterfield.

  7. 'Wonderful delivery' from Ince for equaliserpublished at 13:51 BST 3 October

    What a wonderful delivery from Tom Ince and there was Dylan Jones with a powerful header.

    The man on loan from Norwich levels matters for Tranmere. They haven't been in this game but they just started to turn it on in the second half and now it's 1-1.

    Chesterfield 1-1 Tranmere

    Stoke City once spent £12m on Tom Ince. He is a long way from his peak but still more than good enough to hurt teams at League Two level.

    GOAL - Chesterfield 1-1 Tranmerepublished at 59 mins

    Dylan Jones (59 mins)

    Well, well, well! Tranmere suddenly kick into life and are level.

    After that shot from Charlie Whitaker they work a short corner well, Tom Ince is afforded the time and space to bend in a wicked cross with his left foot and substitute Dylan Jones is unmarked to bury a header.

    Chesterfield 1-0 Tranmere

    Much better from Tranmere! A direct ball is held up and they tee up Charlie Whitaker to strike one from 25 yards. He hits it well, it's straight at Ryan Boot who pushes it over.

  11. 'Tranmere keep giving ball back to Chesterfield'published at 13:45 BST 3 October

    Chesterfield 1-0 Tranmere

    Lee Turnbull

    Tranmere's issue is they keep giving the ball back to Chesterfield; they're not keeping the ball themselves. They don't retain possession enough.

    They go from back to front quite effectively and need to get it up top to Joe Ironside. That's probably their best route to an equaliser.

    Chesterfield 1-0 Tranmere

    The away fans are in good voice trying to rouse Tranmere but instead it's Chesterfield who threaten. First Louie Marsh has a shot charged down and Joel Randall then skims a shot wide from range.

    Already a bit more intensity and bite from Tranmere as Will Vaulks snaps into a pleasing tackle. Darrell Clarke must have been steaming at the break.

    Tranmere must do better. So much better.

    Will Vaulks had the only Tranmere shot of the opening half, and it went further over the target than he was from it.

    Tranmere have had one touch in the Spireites' box - the lowest in a half by any League Two side this season.

    Dilan Markanday has made his mark on the first half with the game's only goal (the yellow dot on the corner of the six yard box) but what is most striking is how disciplined his influence on the game has been.

    Chalk on his boots.

  18. 'Comfortable half for the Spireites'published at 13:22 BST 3 October

    Lee Turnbull

    It's been a very comfortable half for the Spireites. It was a wonderful finish from Dilan Markanday after 15 minutes.

    It's just the second goal now. I'm pretty sure if they get two, they'll go on to get three or four.

    I haven't really seen anything of Tranmere Rovers as an force.

    The performance from Chesterfield this afternoon deserves a victory but they'll be more comfortable if they can get that second goal.
