Key events

77 min: McAtee has a dig from distance. Straight at Walton. Forest look like the only potential winners right now. Ipswich haven’t had a shot on target since equalising, while Forest currently lead the xG by somed distance: Ipswich 0.4, Forest 2.06.

75 min: McAtee has an opportunity to shoot from the edge of the D but hesitates and is eventually dispossessed.

74 min: Delap has another go, this time a shot at the end of a long dribble down the middle. He whip-curls an effort towards the bottom right from 25 yards, but it whistles wide of the upright. Not sure Walton had that 100 percent covered.

73 min: Fatawu is replaced by Maeda. Then after the restart, Munoz crosses from the right. Ouattara makes a hash of a high-kicked clearance, and the ball loops to Delap, who heads over from six yards. Big chance.

71 min: The pace of play drops a bit. Both teams sizing each other up after those subs.

69 min: Hudson-Odoi replaces Ndoye.

68 min: Enciso is bundled over, 35 yards from goal. Ipswich consider their options for quite some time, before Davis hoicks the free kick straight out of play for a goal kick. Not worth the wait.

66 min: Ndoye romps down the left and feeds Williams on the underlap. Williams should shoot, but hesitates on the edge of the Ipswich box and the chance is gone.

64 min: Ndoye steals the ball off Florentino and Forest steam foward en masse. Delap makes good down the middle, then feeds Ndoye, who forces a shot from a tight angle on the left past Walton … but once again Davis is on point to clear off the line! Schalger then bundles the rebound out for a goal kick. Forest are getting closer and closer.

63 min: Williams earns Forest a corner down the left. He sends it long. Murillo wins a header in a central position, eight yards out. He sends it wide right. Had he managed to keep that on target, it wasn’t clear that Walton was getting anywhere near it.

61 min: Ipswich twist first, replacing Philogene and Emersonn with Flemming and Clarke.

60 min: McAtee’s speculative cross from the left earns a corner. One corner leads to another, and from that second one, Williams and Murillo take turns to shoot through a crowded box before Schlager ripples the side netting.

58 min: Murillo clanks a poor pass straight to Emersonn, who can’t take advantage despite space opening up in front of him down the right. A low-quality exchange.

56 min: Enciso tries to release Emersonn into the box with a sliderule pass down the left, but overhits it. Sels gathers.

54 min: Murillo follows Diop into the book for a cynicaly clip on Emersonn’s ankle.

52 min: Nothing comes of the resulting free kick. Ipswich and Diop got away with a big one there. It wasn’t clear that McAtee had played the ball to the right of goal; it wasn’t clear that any covering defender would have stopped him shooting for goal. Forest are fuming, and you can’t blame them. Nine times out of ten, you’d have expected the player to be sent packing, especially once VAR stuck its neb in.

51 min: “After review … a foul by Ipswich number six … however, because the player knocks it to the right side of the goal, the final decision is direct free kick and a yellow card to number six.” The referee giving Diop a big benefit of the doubt there. So surprised that wasn’t a red card.

50 min: McAtee took a heavy touch before being cleaned out by last man Diop, but he was taken down nonetheless. VAR gets involved, and the referee goes over to the screen.

48 min: McAtee snaffles a loose ball in midfield and looks to burst into space down the middle. Diop slides across and brings him down in the agricultural fashion. The referee waves play on, but surely that’s a foul at the very least? Very strange.

47 min: Ipswich win a throw, then a free kick in short order down the left. Enciso curls the set piece into the mixer. Sels punches powerfully clear under some pressure. The hosts quickly back up to speed.

46 min: Philogene hares after a long pass down the left. Forest are very fortunate Milenkovic is immediately switched on; the defender blocks a low cross.

Ipswich get the second half started. No changes yet.

Half-time postbag. “There’s always one relegated team per season which is too good to go down. I don’t think it’ll be Forest this season, because they really do look too good to go down, but it could be them if they don’t start putting away their chances. That said, the team too good to go down will probably be Manchester City” – Kári Tulinius.

“Just to underline how early in the season it still is, the live table has had Forest in 18th, 10th and 17th in the space of half an hour” – Dave Estherby

“With a clever Austrian manager, a feisty Austrian midfielder (Xaver Schlager) and a crafty Swiss winger (Dan Ndoye), Forest have got a bit of Alpine sturdiness about them these days” – Peter Oh

The story of first half … told via the medium of mid-80s Scottish indie pop.

Not sure this feature has legs, to be honest.

HALF TIME: Ipswich Town 1-1 Nottingham Forest

That was good fun, and the scoreline is about right.

45 min +2: Delap literally rips O’Shea’s shirt off his back. O’Shea sporting a racy off-the-shoulder number now.

45 min: Enciso romps down the right and swings in low. Emersonn can’t reach the ball before Sels, who snaffles. There will be two additional first-half minutes.

43 min: Forest were thinking about a two-goal lead for a few seconds there. But then the ball was turned over, and after one big clanger by Milenkovic, now look! Forest may go all the way back to the Ouattara challenge on Ndoye, but that’s water under the bridge now.

GOAL! Ipswich Town 1-1 Nottingham Forest (Enciso 41)

Cunha leads a four-on-two counter but takes a heavy touch. He’s easily dispossessed, and that allows O’Shea to blooter clear. Milenkovic should deal with the ball on halfway, but his attempt to pass back to his keeper is mishit. Underhit. Seriously so. Enciso tears away with it, reaches the edge of the box, and slots past Sels and into the bottom left!

39 min: An Ipswich free kick in a dangerous position, 25 yards out on the right. But Enciso’s delivery is no good, and it’s an easy clearance for Cunha.

37 min: Gibbs-White tries to release Ndoye down the inside-left channel, but his team-mate is clumsily brought down by Ouattara. The referee waves play on, much to Forest’s annoyance. Was Ouatarra the last man? Probably not, but that should have been a free kick at the very least.

36 min: It’s been a really entertaining match. Very open. No point playing the percentages in this wind.

34 min: Walton may have got a little bit on that Gibbs-White bundle, by the way, taking some sting off the ball to make things a bit easier for his team-mate Davis to hack clear. Either way, the Ipswich defence mucked in and got the job done.
