74 Eagles free kick glanced by Rodriguez, but Roche collects comfortably

73 Sub: Mullin for Moss

66 Eckersley is warned by referee Salisbury after picking up a booking. On a last warning, Brian Laws acts and replaces him with Kevin McDonald and Edgar srops to right back.

61 GOAL! 1-2 Penalty as Eagles races onto Easton's terrific ball over the right back and is fouled as he edges into the box. Up steps THOMPSON in Alexander's absence to send Roche the wrong way from 12 yards.

55 Elliott harshly penalised for a foul on the edge of the box and Wilson steps up to driver the free kick over the wall and off the top of the crossbar. It's the first time the hosts have got out of their half and the Clarets are almost punished.

No changes at the break

Half time

45+2 Eagles' corner is met by Rodriguez, who again glances a header past the far post. Eagles has come alive in the final 15 minutes of this half!

45 Duffy's snapshot is straight at Grant, who grabs the ball to maintain parity as half time approaches.

43 Another great chance for Burnley as Eagles' perfect deep delivery is nodded down by Cort to Carlisle, who can't keep his drive below the bar from eight yards.

39 Eagles' free kick cannons off the wall and almost immediately Jevons has a similar dead ball situation at the other end that deflects just over the bar

30 GOAL! 1-1 EAGLES rifles the ball home from 18 yards after Steven Thompson cushions Jack Cork's deep cross from the right into his path. A terrific equaliser that should finally settle the Clarets.

22 Real let off for Burnley as Jevons looks certain to score from point blank range, only for a deflection to take the ball just wide of the post for a corner.

20 Thompson tees up Eagles and the winger looks to side foot one from the corner of the box into the opposite top corner, but his shot lacks power and is easy for Roche

16 Good response from Burnley though and when Elliott breaks for the right byline, his cross is glanced across goal and just wide of the far post by Jay Rodriguez.

12 GOAL! 1-0 Jevons slots home after Morecambe break down the left. When play is switched to the right Duffy slides the striker in from 12 yards and Grant is beaten at his far post.

8 Cork breaks from midfield and feeds Eagles, but the cross is too close to Roach and a chance goes begging

Game underway but a scrappy start
