Hartlepool score
Criminal. Dan Dodds breaks away and sends a low strike into the ball into the back of the net via the post. The visitors have scored with their first shot on target all game.
Doncaster penalty appeal
Caolan Lavery falls down in the box as Hartlepool clear a cross but the referee is having none of it.
Hartlepool go close
They’re having a little spell and right-back Jamie Sterry fires just wide from distance. A good effort, to be fair.
Luke Molyneux comes on
He replaces Ben Nelson. Can the winger finally score his first Rovers goal against his old club? The script is written, surely.
Molyneux grabbed 12 goals for Hartlepool last term.
