Half-time: Yeovil Town 0 Northampton Town 0. Yeovil took their run without conceding a goal to two-and-a-half games but were unable to break the deadlock by half-time.

Unsurprisingly, Yeovil player-managerTerry Skiverton chose the same side that had beaten Swindon 1-0 on Saturday and they had the better of the opening stages with David Noble raiding down the left and seeing a shot deflected for a corner.

Then on 13 minutes Andros Townsend collected a quick free-kick and shot from 25 yards. The ball bounced off Cobblers goalkeeper Chris Dunn and was cleared behind for a corner. From the set-piece Jon Obika's turn and shot was superbly cleared off the line by Danny Jackman.

Then Obika used his strength to shake off his man and hit a low left-footed shot that Dunn did well to hold on to under pressure from Gavin Tomlin.

Northampton's first effort of note came on 36 minutes when Jackman swung in a free-kick and Adebayo Akinfenwa headed just over.
