13:48 Half-time: Southend 2 Colchester 1

16:35 Yeates, wanting a hat-trick, has a shot blocked and Wasiu lifts the rebound over the bar.
16:34 The U's are coasting and Wasiu nearly sneaks through on goal. He is denied by a last-ditch tackle.

16:05 Attendance: 5,152
16:03 Coyne volleys over from Yeates' corner in the 47th minute
16:03 Carlisle make a change at half-time with substitute Smith replacing Joyce
16:02 2nd half starts
15:46 Half-time: Colchester 3 Carlisle 0
15:45 2 minutes of injury-time
15:43 correction: trick not tuck!
15:42 There is a funny moment when Izzet and Perkins, who are both not the tallest players (to say the least), stand together in the defensive wall and start jumping up and down! It does the tuck because the Carlisle free-kick comes to nothing.
15:34 It is awful play from Carlisle. Alnwick's throw puts Kavanagh under pressure, and he gets in a terrible mix-up with team-mate Campion, the ball ricocheting off Campion and straight into the path of Yeates. He takes his time before cheekily sliding the ball past Alnwick from close-in.
15:31 3-0 YEATES scores his second goal of the game
15:26 Yeates fancies his chances of beating keeper Alnwick again. This time his quickly-taken free-kick from 30 yards out is stopped by Alnwick, but only at the second attempt. The Carlisle keeper looks dodgy!
15:23 Substitute Wasiu shows great strength and perseverence to shake off two defenders and then let fly with a 20-yarder that Alnwick saves. Still 2-0.
15:19 Keeper Alnwick has to be alert to prevent Yeates' deep free-kick from crossing the goal-line in the 18th minute. The keeper took a step backwards, but kept the ball in play.
15:18 Gillespie does indeed have to leave the pitch with his hamstring injury, to be replaced by substitute Wasiu.
15:17 It is Yeates' fifth goal of the season, making him the top scorer.
15:17 Gillespie has a part to play in the goal, although that leads to his withdrawal. The U's striker back-heels the ball into the danger-zone from Platt's lay-off, and while he seems to aggravate his hamstring injury in that move, the Cumbrians are powerless to prevent Yeates from tyring his luck with a 20-yarder that swerves past keeper Alnwick and into the net.
15:13 2-0 YEATES is on target
15:09 Yeates delivers the U's first corner, on 10 minutes, and Baldwin very nearly nods home at the near post. But the ball eludes everyone.
15:06 Carlisle's first attack, inspired by Hackeny's run down the left wing, is snuffed out by Baldwin.
15:05 It is Perkins' fourth goal of the season
15:04 Yeates is the instigator of the goal. He turns this way and that on the right edge of the penalty area, and although his well-struck cross is beaten away by keeper Alnwick, there is Perkins to fire the rebound into the roof of the net.
15:03 1-0 PERKINS puts the U's ahead after just 3 minutes
15:01 This is the first meeting between the 2 clubs since Wembley and the Auto Windscreens Shield Final of 1997, which the Cumbrians won after a penalty shoot-out.
15:00 Game kicks off
14:41 CARLISLE UNITED squad: Alnwick, Raven, Livesey, Gowling, Campion, Taylor, Joyce, Kavanagh, Hackney, Graham, Dobie. Subs: Carlton, Myrie-Williams, Smith, Horwood, Williams.

21:02 Millwall's Martin is booked for a foul on White on 60 mins
21:02 It was a bizarre moment, because the goal celebration music had sounded prematurely!
21:01 Izzet thought he had scored with a deflected shot that crashed off the underside of the bar. But the ball was cleared off the line with Wasiu close by, and no goal was awarded.
20:51 Attendance 5,506
20:49 Hammond's header is cleared off the goal-line from Yeates' corner
20:49 Platt nearly buries a cross from Yeates on 46 minutes

20:30 White concedes a free-kick in a dangerous position, but Laird over-hits his cross behind for a goal-kick.
20:29 Harris nearly squeezes home from Kandol's header in the 43rd minute.
20:22 It's a great finish from Izzet. He meets Platt's flick-on first time with a rising shot that flies into the roof of the net from eight yards out.
20:20 1-2 IZZET pulls a goal back for the U's
20:16 Correction: Wasiu should have pulled a goal back, not broken the deadlock!
20:16 Wasiu should have broken the deadlock on 30 minutes. He turns his marker but fails to get enough power in his shot.
20:15 Gerken brilliantly tips a goalbound header from Robinson over the bar to prevent Millwall from going 3-0 up.
20:11 The U's try and respond quickly. Wasiu has a goalbound shot blocked, and then when keeper Forde spills a shot by Hammond, Robinson is there to hoof to safety.
20:10 Laird is initially booked for delaying the taking of the free-kick, but when he finally does cross into the danger zone, defender Robinson beats his marker Platt to head home at the far post.
20:08 0-2 ROBINSON heads Millwall into a two-goal lead
20:06 Hammond is booked for hauling down Abdou in the 20th minute
20:04 Whitbread clears Yeates' corner
20:03 Izzet earns the U's first corner on 18 minutes
20:02 Perkins tries to make amends but fires a long-range shot wide
19:55 Grabban pounces on a stray ball from Perkins, which is meant for Jackson, and the Millwall winger runs through to calmly fire past the onrushing Gerken. It is a soft goal to concede.
19:54 0-1 GRABBAN puts Millwall ahead in the 9th minute
19:54 Wasiu turns onto Platt's flick-on, but cannot squeeze his shot on target from a tight angle.So still 0-0
19:49 Izzet is inches wide with a 20-yarder after 3 minutes.
19:48 It's a good start from the U's and a strong run from Hammond ends with Wasiu mis-timing a shot. Keeper Forde gathers.
19:47 Hammond robs defender Robinson inside the first minute and races into the penalty area, but his cross balloons behind for a goal-kick.
19:45 Game kicks off
19:40 Millwall squad: Forde, Hackett, Robinson, Whitbread, Craig, Grabban, Laird, Abdou, Martin, Harris, Kandol. Subs: Frampton, Fuseini, Moore, Easter, Edwards.
19:38 U's squad: Gerken, White, Baldwin, Reid, Jackson, Yeates, Hammond, Perkins, Izzet, Platt, Wasiu. Subs: Coyne, Vernon, Wordsworth, Elito, Cousins.
19:36 U's boss Lambert made 2 changes to the side that won at Stockport, for tonight's visit of third-placed Millwall. Striker Gillespie was out injured (hamstring), so in came Wasiu, while Izzet was preferred to Wordsworth in midfield.
16:55 Full-time: Stockport 1 Colchester 2
16:51 Yeates curls a free-kick narrowly wide, and there are to be 6 minutes of injury-time.
16:47 Man of the match Platt steers his shot beyond the reach of keeper Forster, from Perkins' neat lay-off in the 87th minute.
16:46 1-2 PLATT puts the U's ahead
16:41 Gerken performs heroics to tip McSweeney's shot over the bar in the 82nd minute.
16:35 Jackson is penalised for a foul on McSweeney, and fears that he might be shown a second yellow card. But he survives a stern lecture from referee Mr Deadman, who also talks to skipper Hammond. Ironically, it is Jackson who blocks the ensuing free-kick.
16:32 Yeates blasts wide from a good position in the 74th minute.
16:32 Lambert makes his second change, with Wasiu replacing Gillespie in attack.
16:30 Platt has been excellent all afternoon, especially in his defensive role from set pieces. He headed away another Stockport corner in the 71st minute.
16:26 The U's make their first change in the 65th minute. Izzet replaces Wordsworth.
16:23 Wordsworth is then booked for a foul, the U's fourth yellow card.

16:19 Gerken safely gathers a goalbound shot from Thompson on the hour mark. Still 1-1.
16:18 Jackson is the third U's player to be booked, for a foul in the 59th minute.

16:11 Reid is booked for a late aerial challenge on McNeil, who needs lengthy treatment on a stretcher before he is taken off.
16:08 The U's thought they had regained the lead early in the second-half. Yeates' cross causes mayhem. Gillespie's initial header from Perkins' delivery is blocked on the line, but the follow-up from Platt appears to cross the line before keeper Forster gathers. But no goal is awarded, so still 1-1.
16:04 No changes to either side at half-time
16:04 second-half begins
15:47 Half-time: Stockport 1 Colchester 1

15:21 Yeates is the creator, and his run and cross sees Platt control and rifle across the penalty area for Perkins to slam home a first-time shot from 10 yards out.
15:20 0-1. PERKINS gives Colchester the lead!
15:20 A minute later and the U's also spurn a good chance. Perkins screws a shot wide from 15 yards out, following good work by Yeates.
15:18 The U's should have been behind in the 18th minute, but home striker McNeil heads across goal and wide from just six yards out.
15:15 County have appeals for a penalty turned down when Gleeson takes a tumble under a challenge from Baldwin on 15 minutes. So still 0-0.
15:14 Gillespie nearly bursts onto Hammond's long through ball, only for defender McNulty to tackle him.
15:06 County earn two corners on 7 minutes. Gerken catches the second of these quite impressively.
15:04 Jackson was operating as a left-back for the U's, while Baldwin was partnering Reid in the heart of defence.
15:01 The U's nearly scored after just six seconds. Defender Fojut blundered and Gillespie screwed a shot wide from a good position.
15:01 Stockport: Forster, McNulty, Fojut, McSweeney, Baker, Dicker, Raynes, Gleeson, McNeil, Thompson, Rowe. Subs: fon Williams, Pilkington, Turnbull, Kane, Johnson.
