12 min - Weston are still looking dangerous and Chris Tardif is forced into his save, pawing Nat Pepperell's cross-come-shot away.

6 min - The home side have made the better start but it is Town who have the first real effort on goal, Ross Adams seeing his header comfortably saved after a free-kick from Robert Rice was flicked on.

1 min - Basingstoke kick-off on a bright, sunny afternoon in Somerset. They will be shooting up the slight slope during the first half.

Welcome to live updates from this afternoon's game. Keep refreshing to stay up to date.

I'm a bit concerned my laptop's battery might not last the whole match, but I'll get the match finished off in the bar afterwards if that happens.
