Half-Time Report: Nottingham Forest all square at Ewood Park

Blackburn Rovers are locked in a tight battle with Nottingham Forest at the break, with both sides still searching for the opening goal at Ewood Park.

The home side have shaded possession but Forest have looked the more likely, keeping Rovers keeper Jake Kean in the action more regularly.

Henri Lansbury has seen a pair of ambitious efforts drift wide, with both sides restricted to efforts from range for much of the first 45 minutes.

Ruben Rochina had Blackburn's best effort of the half, showing neat feet before testing Lee Camp with a low shot after fine build-up play from Josh King.

Rovers had an indirect free kick in the penalty area on the half-hour after Camp caught a backpass, but Colin Kazim-Richards hammered into an 11-man wall.
