Doncaster Rovers will want to put the embarrassment of their FA Cup exit behind them when they return to League Two action against Grimsby Town.

Rovers were dumped out of the competition at the first-round stage at the hands of non-league King's Lynn last weekend.

Meanwhile, their next opponents thrashed League One leaders Plymouth Argyle 5-1 to progress to round two.

Three points at Blundell Park could move Doncaster level on points with Carlisle United in the final play-off spot.

Harrison Biggin smashes a half-volley in from the edge of the box!

We’re back under way

No changes for either side. Atmosphere a little flat at the start of the second period.

Molyneux forces a save on the stroke of HT

A nice darting run sees the winger break into the 18-yard box and test Max Crocombe from about 12 yards, but the keeper saves low.

That’s it for the fist half. So far so good from the visitors.

Booking for a Grimsby man

Andy Smith gets a yellow for bringing down George Miller as Rovers looked to counter. Free-kick about 35 yards out. Could be the last action of the half.

James Maxwell taking the mickey

He brings a throw-in forward about ten yards. The cheek of it is laughable, but he gets away with it nonetheless. Some headloss in the home stands from fans getting upset with Doncaster’s tactics. Solid half for everyone in pink so far. Three to go.

Grimsby growing restless

They’ve not been at the races so far and another pass goes astray. A few moans and groans in the home end.

Decent away performance from Doncaster so far. They’re sitting in their shape with discipline and keeping the hosts at bay.

Huge save from Mitchell

Grimsby counter from a corner kick and Harry Clifton is sent through on goal one-on-one. His effot is saved by the body of Mitchell, who rushed off his line to thwart the chance.

A cracking tackle from Harrison Biggins, who plays the ball out wide to Kyle Knoyle while on the floor. Knoyle makes his way down the byline and eventually beats two players before firing a low shot at goal. Blocked. Corner.

First spell of pressure from the hosts resuls in a shot from the edge of the box from Harry Clifton, which is deflected and flies past the crossbar.
