Half-Time Report: Derby County, Bournemouth level at the break

Derby County and Bournemouth's Championship clash at the iPro Stadium remains goalless at half time.

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe elected to start without Yann Kermogant, who scored in Saturday's 2-0 win over Wigan Athletic, but his side started brightly despite the striker's absence.

However, the first clear chance of the game fell to the hosts as Chris Martin sent a 20-yard effort just over the Bournemouth goal.

Winger Jordan Ibe was a constant threat for Derby County, repeatedly beating Ian Harte and reaching the byline but failing to pick out a teammate.

Cyrus Christie had the home side's best effort of the half, but could only fire wide when well placed on 39 minutes.
