The chances keep coming and this one actually ends up in the net.
John Marquis thinks he has doubled Shrewsbury's lead from a throw-in but then he spots the flag is up against him.
As you were everyone.

Port Vale 1-0 Rotherham

Vale's Jordan Lawrence-Gabriel slings in a long throw.

The visitors cannot afford to concede a second goal.
We have 10 minutes remaining in this first period.

Postpublished at 20:16 BST
Bromley 0-1 Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury have not come to sit back.
Iwan Morgan has a shot blocked by the legs of Grant Smith.
That chance came right after Shrewsbury keeper Matt Cox made an instinctive stop from Bromley defender Kyle Cameron's header at the other end.

Ronnie Moore
Ex-Rotherham manager on BBC Radio Sheffield

Much better from Rotherham. They’re getting on the ball a lot more.
There’s some tackles going in, fighting for those 50-50s, we haven’t seen that for most of the season.
GREAT SAVE!published at 20:12 BST
Bromley 0-1 Shrewsbury

Almost an immediate response from the League Two leaders.
Shrewsbury goalkeeper Matt Cox makes a smart save as one of his own defenders inadvertently heads towards his own goal from a corner.

Postpublished at 20:11 BST
Bromley 0-1 Shrewsbury

As it stands, Shrewsbury are securing their EFL status.
Because Newport still have to play both Barrow and Harrogate, three points tonight will guarantee League Two football for next season.
Still a long way to go though.

As a Vale supporter, I should be happy with the early goal, but I've never been this apathetic about my beloved team for years.

Well, well, well.
Shrewsbury have started well and Bromley have not heeded that early warning.
Marcus Ifill is slow to react in the Bromley defence and there is Bradley Ihionvien to tuck it past Grant Smith, nutmegging the keeper.
A third Shrews goal for the on-loan Peterborough striker.

Port Vale 1-0 Rotherham

Kyle John is taken out by Rotherham forward Sam Nombe.
Up he gets, holding his right side again.
He is going to have some bruises to nurse later.

Postpublished at 20:05 BST
Bromley 0-0 Shrewsbury

An early chance for the visitors.
An up-and-under Kevin Berkoe cross is turned over the bar by Josh Ruffels at the far post.
‘Agricultural’published at 20:04 BST
Port Vale 1-0 Rotherham
Phil Sproson
Former Port Vale captain on BBC Radio Stoke

It is an agricultural game. I can’t think of either side having put four passes together.
There’s no rhythm to it.
But the important thing is that Vale have the lead.

Port Vale 1-0 Rotherham

Port Vale are back up to the full 11 with Kyle John back on.
He is still holding his side.
One to watch.
Postpublished at 20:02 BST
Port Vale 1-0 Rotherham

Port Vale's Kyle John is down injured holding his side.
The players come across to take a drink and get some instructions.
It does not look good for John.

‘Good save’published at 20:00 BST

Phil Sproson
Former Port Vale captain on BBC Radio Stoke

It was a good save from Gauci.
He obviously had a difficult afternoon at Chelsea but he’s right on it there.
KICK-OFFpublished at 20:00 BST
Bromley 0-0 Shrewsbury

Bromley and Shrewsbury get us under way in our second game of the evening at Hayes Lane.
A chance for the Ravens to extend their lead at the top and an opportunity for the Shrews to secure their EFL status.

A big chance for Sam Nombe.
Cameron Humphreys slips which allows the Rotherham striker to run through but Joe Gauci is out quickly to make a vital save.

Good start for Vale! Must be a bit depressing getting whacked 7-0 by Chelsea but they still showed fight which is what they will need in these desperate times!

Port Vale 1-0 Rotherham

Rotherham have failed to score in each of their past five away league games - losing the lot as well.
Can they get back into this?
There is plenty of time.
