It is goalless in the FA Cup fourth-round match as Southend United play Hull City this afternoon.
Barry Corr got an early booking for a late lunge on Yannick Sagbo, but the first chance of the match went to Hull, although David Meyler lashed a shot over the bar from the edge of the box.
Despite some decent movement and the occasional attack, there was very little goal-mouth action in the opening 20 minutes.
However, Corr shrugged off his marker before sending a header towards the top corner. It appeared to be going in, but Steve Harper showed great reflexes to tip the ball over the bar.
George Boyd then beat the offside trap with a smart run and squared a pass to Danny Graham, who just had the goalkeeper to beat. His shot was poor, though, and was easily held.
