0: The hosts get things underway, playing from left to right in front of the main stand in red shirts and shorts. Saints are led out with Welsh Under-21 international Lloyd James handed the captain's armband.

9: Saints are keeping possesion well against their League Two opponents, with Lallana and Paterson both being denied clear-cut shooting chances in the opening stages.

17: Denton and Barry Hayles combine in front of the Saints goal but the former Fulham front man knocks the ball out of play under pressure from Michael Poke.

23: Former Northampton winger Josh Low lofts in a high ball from a corner in a rare foray forward for the hosts. Poke gets his hand to the ball but play was stopped for a foul in the box.

26: Low is involved again and wins another corner for Town as his close-range snap shot is blocked well by local boy Wayne Thomas.

27: Cheltenham skipper Lee Ridley tries a shot from the edge of the area but can't keep the ball down enough to trouble Poke.

30: Andy Gallinagh's free kick forces Poke to punch the ball clear before Townsend heads narrowly wide from a Josh Low free-kick.

35: Saints kick the ball out of play to allow Adam Lallana to recover from a wayward tackle just outside the opposition box.

43: Josh Low drags a weak shot wide of the left post as the first half draws to a close.
