Chance for Mendez-Laing
His effort from the edge of the box is beaten away by the Wimbledon keeper. It’s getting very tetchy...
It’s all gone a bit scrappy
Rain is pouring down and the tackles are flying in as Bannan and Gregory break free of Wimbledon’s defence, but the skipper can’t quite keep the ball in play at the byline after beating his man.
Gregory is crowded out
The ball is played to the Owls striker on the edge of the area, he tries to find space to fire a shot off but three Dons defenders usher the ball to safety.
Wednesday starting to get on top again with 25 to go.
Drama in the six-yard box
The ball strikes a Dons player and almost falls for Gregory, but it’s smothered by the keeper who gets hurt in the process.
Gregory is surrounded by unhappy visiting players who presumably feel his attempts to poke the ball home were a little bit underhand.
Owls crank up the pressure
The noise inside Hillsborough has gone up a few decibels as the home side force successive corners, the second of which is almost converted by Mendez-Laing before Johnson’s low cross wins another corner...
It’s slowed down a bit
Wimbledon are very much in this but are happy to take their time whenever possible. It’s helped take the sting out of the home side’s urgency, which was lacking anyhow.
Crowd growing frustrated.
Brilliant from Bannan
He releases Luongo down the left-hand side who makes his way inside and bends one just wide of the far post. Much better from Wednesday.
Bannan’s passing has been spot on again today.
