Port Vale force the Salford keeper Will Norris into another save as forward Oliver Lynch drives a low shot from 25 yards, across the goal.

Norris gets down to his right and parries it away.

Adam Murphy tries his luck from distance only to see his effort fly well over Will Brook's crossbar.

Stockport's Kyron Gordon is in the book for a foul on Wigan's Reggie Walsh who needs treatment.

Sam Stubbs with a strong challenge on Will Davies and it's a booking, no doubt about it.

It's a late one and he gave the ref no choice there.

Decent chance for a player of Peterborough striker Harry Leonard's calibre.

He is found just outside the box and swivels on an effort around 20 yards out but his low strike is about a foot wide of the left post.

Port Vale's George Hall has no right to ghost his way past Abraham Odoh on the right side, but he somehow sneaks a ball into the feet of Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel.

Lawrence-Gabriel has the goal at his mercy but side-foots his shot straight into the hands of keeper Will Norris.

It could have been so much more, but at least we've had our first shot on target.

An untidy lunge from Wigan defender James Carragher and he becomes his side's second player in the referee's notebook.

First effort on target for Fleetwood as Adam Murphy sets himself up to hit one from outside of the box, but Will Brook is there to gather comfortably.

There's a big shout for a penalty as Port Vale's Kyle Dempsey floats a free kick in from the left side. Connor Hall get highest to plant a looping onto the crossbar. The rebound falls to the feet of George Hall who is brought to the ground.

The referee says no, and Peter Cklamovski's side can breathe.

Wigan right-back Connor Barrett takes his frustration out on Ben Osborn and rightly gets the game's first yellow card inside the first half-hour.

First booking of the game is picked up by Shrewsbury's Luca Hoole who after a little tussle for the ball brings down a Fleetwood player.

Shrewsbury come forward again with Kevin Berkoe playing it to the edge of the area to Kian McMahon-Brown who opens his body up to try and curl one into the top corner, but it goes high and wide.

Top marks for effort. Maybe not so much for execution.

League Two's bottom side nearly took the lead, and should have taken the lead!

Ben Garrity floats out onto the left side for Port Vale and curls in a delicious cross for the heads of either Oliver Lynch or George Hall.

They're six yards out and both of them miss it.

Salford have a sniff of the goal as Abraham Odoh cuts in from the left side and passes the ball into the feet of Ryan Graydon.

Graydon spins to create an opening but his poor touch puts it behind for a goal kick.

First attempt at goal as Josh Davison drills one towards the far corner of Jay Lynch's goal, but the Fleetwood stopper does well to make the save.

Not much in this yet, but Shrewsbury are maybe shading this and showing a bit of purpose.

Jon Brady will be the happiest of the two managers so far.

After an initial burst of pressure in the opening minutes by Salford, this has been mostly Port Vale's game.

We haven't even had a shot yet.

Sad times.

Early change for the hosts as Tom O'Connor cannot continue.

On in his place is David Okagbue.

Shrewsbury are growing into this now as they start to string a few passes together.

Decent pace to this one so far.
