Shaw heads away under pressure. GOAL for Basford Wakefield the scorer 3 minutes. The goal came out of the blue and I missed it.

Wakefield beats Rickford for speed and wins a corner. Good Ilkeston attack but lino's flag stops it. Very open game at the moment and neither side dominating. Second goal for Basford CJ the scorer. It came from a fast break on 10 minutes 0-2

Basford clear one off the line. Closest yet for Ilkeston. It was Tom Marshall's header.

Mitchell makes a save. That's only Basford's third shot but they're two up. Nearly an Ilkeston goal but keeper saves well from Reeves. CJ looks very fast and skilful. Another promising Ilkeston attack is stopped by offside flag. still 0-2 35 minutes.

Chance for Basford but shot is too high. Wakefield wins a corner. Malachi nearly intercepts a back pass but defender recovers. Wakefield and CJ are so fast for Basford. Good defending by Bennett. Malachi looked set to score but Lino flag goes up again. It's half time Basford lead two nil.

Another decent ilkeston attack come to nothing. Liam Hearn doing well for Basford. Walker goes down on edge of area but nothing given. Good spell of possession by Basford. Then Ilkeston break forward and score. Hopkinson header. 1-2 64 minutes Ilkeston deserved that.

In my opinion this was a pleasing performance by Ilkeston against a team two levels higher. It was certainly a good recovery after conceding two early goals as Ilkeston were rocked by Basford's lightning strikes in the first 10 minutes. Although they were never outplayed, Ilkeston didn't look like pulling a goal back in the first half. The second half was different and as Ilkeston got on top it seemed just a matter of time before they scored. Tim Hopkinson headed the goal which brought them back in the game. The second half had been more open with both teams getting regular chances. Alex Marshall's equaliser was no more than Ilkeston deserved and the same player then had a golden chance to put Ilkeston ahead. He seemed certain to score but the keeper saved. Basford almost snatched a win right at the death but the post saved Ilkeston. In the end a draw was probably a fair result and Ilkeston are still unbeaten in their friendlies. York City are the visitors to the NMG on Friday for the final pre season game.
