Not much happening
The ball is refusing to stick for either team, with little quality on display in this half so far.
Doncaster will be disappointed to go in level having edged proceedings and got themelves in front. They’ve looked half decent in spells without really getting going yet. Still anyone’s game.

Quigley heads home from a cross after having a credible appeal for handball turned down moments earlier.
Flare goes off in the away end
‘We will do what we want’ sing the away fans.
On the pitch, Donny have their tails up and Rochdale look a bit shook. Not long until HT.
Another good chance for Rovers
Kyle Knoyle beats his man and crosses into the box, which the keeper flaps at. It falls to Kyle Hurst for his first chance of the day but he fires over when well placed. Should have done better.
