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.
