Full time at the Accu Stadium: Huddersfield Town 1-1 Luton Town.

Town pushed hard for a winner in the second half, dominating the corner count 10-1 and edging the shots on target 6-4, but couldn't find the breakthrough despite late introductions of Fletcher and Tovide.

Town have made it another corner and two more shots in this spell, with Fletcher on now for Myers-Harness to add fresh legs up top. Luton have finally registered a couple of efforts themselves and are enjoying a bit more of the ball, but Huddersfield's set-piece dominance (9-1 on corners) and overall threat still suggest the hosts are the side more likely to nick a winner as we head towards the closing stages at the Accu Stadium.

The last ten minutes have belonged largely to Huddersfield, who've added another shot and a couple more attempts on target to further their advantage, now 12-6 overall and 6-3 on target. Luton made a second change, bringing on Jake Richards for Tudor Mendel-Idowu in a bid to freshen things up, but the visitors are still yet to register a single corner all game. Town continue to look the more likely to find a winner as this one heads into the final stages at the Accu Stadium.

Town have kept their foot down since levelling through Taylor, adding two more corners to extend their dominance of the set-piece count to 8-0 and nudging the shot tally further ahead too. Luton have had a bit more of the ball in this spell but it's Huddersfield continuing to look the likelier to find a second, with the hosts' pressure keeping the visitors pinned back at the Accu Stadium.

Town are level! Joseph Taylor pulls Huddersfield back on terms in the 49th minute, and it's thoroughly deserved given how much of the ball and the chances the hosts have had. The Accu Stadium can breathe again as it's 1-1.

Quiet start to the second period at the Accu Stadium with the stats barely shifting - Town's only addition being another shot on target, taking their tally to five. Luton have been content to see this one out for now, still well behind on corners and shots despite leading on the scoreboard, as Huddersfield look to find the breakthrough they probably deserve.

Huddersfield go in behind at the break despite doing plenty right. The Terriers had grown into the game after a slow start, racking up six corners to Luton's none and edging the shot count, but it was the visitors who struck through Jordan Clark in the 40th minute to make it 0-1. Kasey Palmer's earlier yellow card and Harrison Ashby's introduction for Naismith were the other notable moments in a half where Town shaded the territory and chances but Luton made their spell of control count.

Still nothing to separate the sides, but Town continue to hold their own at the Accu Stadium, picking up another corner to extend their advantage on that count to 4-0. Luton have started to win more fouls and edged a couple more shots themselves, so there's been a bit of tit-for-tat in this spell without either keeper being seriously troubled again.

Town have grown into this since those early Luton exchanges, winning back a good chunk of possession and picking up three corners along the way. Huddersfield have also levelled things up on shots and forced a save of their own, with Naismith making way for Ashby in Luton's only change so far. Still goalless at the Accu Stadium, but the hosts are now matching Luton for threat.

Luton have had the better of the early exchanges at the Accu Stadium, dominating possession and forcing Matt Young into a save already. Huddersfield have barely had a sniff going forward, with their solitary effort yet to test James Shea, but the home defence has stood firm so far and it remains goalless.
