24 | A scruffy game so far as both sides battle it out in the heat. The biggest chance of the game came from a Heanor Town backpass, which the keeper had to stretch his leg and clear off the line like a central back 0-0

HALF TIME | The scores are level at the break in the hot conditions. Cameron Steele opened the scoring with a delicious long range chip over the stranded keeper. Heanor equalised minutes later.

60 | It's the first drinks break of the second half, and we are currently 2-1 up. A Cameron Steele corner kick headed home at the far post by Charlie Rumin
