It is goalless at the break in the Championship clash between Barnsley and Bournemouth.

Bournemouth pressed early and tested the abilities of Luke Steele as Ryan Fraser fired an effort at goal from 20 yards, and the keeper did well to get down to make the save in wet conditions.

The visitors threatened again as Matt Ritchie fired a shot from distance, for which Steele had to be at his best to parry away from goal and the lurking Fraser.

Eddie Howe's side should have taken the lead when Yann Kermorgant played Andrew Surman in behind the Barnsley defence, but his chipped effort went just wide of the post.
