Bristol Rovers vs Portsmouth live updatesHello and welcome to this afternoon's live blog as Bristol Rovers host league leaders Portsmouth at the Mem in front of a sold out Boxing Day crowd. The Gas were extremely close to kicking their season off with a victory at Fratton Park in the reverse fixture back on the opening day in August but had to settle for a 1-1 draw. They will certainly be targeting to go one better this afternoon. However, they host a Pompey side who haven't lost away from home in the league since a defeat at Barnsley on March 7 while Matt Taylor's side haven't lost a league match in BS7 since August.
Just need a bit more quality in the final third. 28Daniel HargravesExcellent defending againWhen Portsmouth have gotten balls into the box, Rovers have had a resonse every time. The latest sequence sees James Wilson clear the danger with a convincing header away. Really think his experience was missed on Saturday at Blackpool. 26Daniel HargravesPortsmouth mess up another crossSparkes gets in behind on the visitors' left flank but the cross goes out for a goal kick before it can cause any danger.
34Daniel HargravesCorner GasThat time Connor Shaughnessy gets the ball away. Bristol Rovers asking the questions at the moment. 33Daniel HargravesMore last-ditch defending from PortsmouthDelightful ball from Collins towards the back-post but Marlon Pack gets it away. 31Daniel HargravesGreat tenacity from Vale, Ward and CollinsThe trio work ever so hard to get the ball back for their side down the left-hand flank. Can't fault Rovers' work ethic so far, they have been brilliant.
Everyone working hard for the cause. Just need a bit more luck in the final third. 38Daniel HargravesPinball in the areaFrom up here it looked like Evans had perfect room for a shot on goal but instead he passes and the ball falls to Ward whose effort hits an outstretched Portsmouth leg before the ball flings around in the box before eventually being cleared. 34Daniel HargravesCollins gets thereThe Welshman gets onto the ball at the front-post but heads over.
