More last-ditch defending as Paterson loses his cool
Dom Iorfa cuts out another ball into the six-yard box as Paterson loses his cool and goes into the book for trying to snatch the ball off an Oxford player following a foul.
Cramp? Really?
Herbie Kane goes down, seemingly suffering from cramp...after around 60 minutes.
You’re supposed to be a professional, son!
In fairness, he’s replaced - by Oxford’s top scorer James Henry. He has four goals to his name this season.
Oxford man down
Drinks break as an Oxford man is down and receiving treatment. Think the ‘housery’ could be starting, he’s fine.
Game opening up
We thought it’d be open and it’s starting to go that way - Oxford unleash a long-range drive which Peacock-Farrell sees wide. It didn’t look on target, but better safe than sorry.
Owls break from the corner and Johnson is picked out on the near side from a cross-field ball, but the defender’s catch up with him and his shot is blocked. Good to see more from him going forward after a quiet first half.
Another effort
Wing’s effort from outside the area falls harlessly into Stevens’ arms, but this is better from Wednesday. Bannan involved again. He has moved inside this half with, Adeniran further wide.
Wonderful stuff - much better
Silky stuff from Bannan on the edge of the area before he floats a lovely ball into the box for Berahino, who meets it with his head, but it hits the foot of the post.
Best chance for the Owls so far.
Super stop
BPF produces a super save at point-blank range just seconds into this half. Not sure how Oxford managed to find themselves so free inside the six-yard area, mind.
Corner comes in as is met by an Oxford defender before it’s hooked away.
