Stourport forwards are looking good on the break. Mitchell has to push over a speculative effort. After a strong Ilkeston start, it's now a fair scoreline. Bennet has to head away a dangerous cross then Mitchell saves from Mulders. Good spell for Stourport. 1-1 33 minutes

Drinks break taken on 35 minutes. Rasping 30 yarder from Canauan is just wide. Ilkeston now can't find a way through the Stouport defence. Some excellent attacking by the visitors and they are looking the better side as we approach half time, 1-1 42 minutes

Almost a quick goal for Ilkeston but White is wide from close range. Walker then heads over. Nichol close at other end. Dixon gets a shot in under pressure but it's wide. Lively start.

Half chances for Marshall then Reeves but they're not taken. Big chance for White but his first time volley goes over. Alex Marshall shot is deflected for a corner. Good save by Richards from Reeves. Promising start by Ilkeston. Stourport scramble the ball clear. Terrific pressure by Ilkeston

Late corner for Stourport. It's a nervy finish.

Dixon to the rescue. There goes the whistle and Ilkeston get the win by 3-2.

Much better second half by Ilkeston turned it round but it took a late goal to earn the 3 points.
