    No doubt the nerves are creeping in for Newport after Amadou Bakayoko's header reduced the arrears for the Saddlers.

    From looking comfortable this is now a game of defence v attack, with the League Two side looking to cling to what they have.

    There will be a lot of chewed nails discarded at Rodney Parade.

    Newport County 2-1 Walsall

    Matthew Dolan almost plays in Newport substitute Padraig Amond for their third and potentially decisive goal, but the clipped through ball over the top bounces just a fraction too far in front of the hosts' number nine. Bad luck.

  14. Postpublished at 80 mins

    Newport County 2-1 Walsall

    So, Walsall have around 10 minutes left plus stoppage time to find another goal.

    They'd barely looked like scoring all night, but suddenly they have some hope of avoiding an upset.

    GOAL: Newport County 2-1 Walsallpublished at 78 mins

    Amadou Bakayoko

    With a super, downward header from a left-wing cross, Walsall's Amadou Bakayoko pulls one back for the League One club.

    Game on?

  16. CLOSE!published at 75 mins

    Newport County 2-0 Walsall

    The Welsh club almost have a third, as Frank Nouble climbs highest to meet an in-swinging corner, but his glancing header across the face of goal is just narrowly off target.

    There will be no fairytale story for last season's FA Cup quarter-finalists Lincoln City this campaign, after the League Two Imps lost at League One AFC Wimbledon.

    Lyle Taylor's seventh-minute goal was enough to send Danny Cowley's side out.

    Cowley told ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Lincolnshire:

    "We tried exceptionally hard, but it just didn't fall for us. We played a League One team today and we've dominated them.

    "We played with energy and intensity, we suffocated them.

    "We're lacking goals, but the only way you work yourself through these periods is with hard work.

    "Maybe we used all of our luck up last year in this competition, I don't know."

    Newport County look pretty comfortable here. If they can keep this up, it'll be six wins in 12 games in all competitions for them.

    FT: Boreham Wood 2-1 Blackpool

    Substitute Dan Holman scored two minutes from time as National League Boreham Wood came from behind to beat League One Blackpool.

    Blackpool boss Gary Bowyer told ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Lancashire:

    "Fair play to them, they kept going, they stuck at it, they've scored at the death and you see scenes which show why this cup competition is so great.

    "We played well, but we've got done with two poor goals from our point of view and as a result we're out of the competition.

    "You're expected to win and if you get knocked out then you're a story. Let them [Boreham Wood] enjoy it."

  20. The ease of the goal a cause for concernpublished at 62 mins

    Michael Pearlman
    ´óÏó´«Ã½ Wales Sport at Rodney Parade

    Walsall fans would surely have been fearing the worst at half-time with the Exiles ahead, but they will struggle to believe the ease with which County doubled their advantage.

    Ben White was given the freedom of Newport to release the pass, with Shawn McCoulsky just given the freedom of the penalty box, which was all he needed.

    There is a cracking atmosphere in Rodney Parade, but this cup upset is currently looking to be somewhat routine. Walsall need to find a response, fast.
