Doncaster Rovers are in the hunt for a League Two play-off place.

Grant McCann’s side are the form side in the entire country having won nine successive league games. The latest was a thrilling 4-2 victory over Barrow last weekend.

Tonight sees them travel to Essex to face Colchester United, who only need a point to preserve their League Two status.

It’s a crucial night ahead and we’ll be bringing you regular updates on our live blog. Stay tuned below for the latest throughout the night:

Colchester v Rovers LIVE

Biggins enters the referee’s book for a foul on his man, despite his protests.

Owen Bailey’s header is straight at Hornby from the corner. He took a whack for his troubles but is back up now.

Waltzes past his marker before beating another. Colchester whack it behind for a corner.

Rovers recycle the free-kick a couple of times before Maxwell tries an acrobatic effort from distance. Unfortunately Hornby is right behind it.

The tireless Ironside wins a free-kick just outside the Colchester box. Rare chance to attack since the break.

TLT thankfully back to his feet, as Rovers fans serenade him.

TLT goes down for treatment. Hopefully he’s ok to continue. Be a big blow if he was to go off.

Clock ticks towards the 60-minute mark and Rovers subs are warming up with the likes of Hurst and Westbrooke doing jogs down the touchline.

No half-time changes.
