Ivan Azon breaks up a Saints counter from that corner with a cynical shirt pull in midfield and earns himself a yellow card.

It's his last act as he is off, along with Marcelino Nunez, with Jens Cajuste and George Hirst coming on for the closing stages.

A third straight corner for Town now.

Marcelino Nunez will take it from the opposite flank.

Daniel Peretz manages to get half a fist on it under his crossbar but Darnell Furlong's follow-up header is straight into the keeper's gloves.

Leif Davis' corner is cleared at the near post but he gets it back on the left and skins Finn Azaz before seeing a low cross blocked behind for another set-piece.

The Town subs combine as Jack Clarke curls an inviting cross towards Kasey McAteer at the back stick, only for Ryan Manning to get a crucial glancing header in at the expense of a corner.

Caspar Jander does brilliantly to win the ball back off Azor Matusiwa and find Finn Azaz but when Jander gets it back in the box his cut-back is cut out by Matusiwa, on his 28th birthday.

Would have spoiled it had Saints scored from that slip.

Tom Fellows is withdrawn by Tonda Eckert after a slightly quiet night by his standards, with Sam Edozie coming on to cause Town more problems.

Jaden Philogene and Wes Burns are heading off for Town, with Kasey McAteer and top-scorer Jack Clarke coming on for the visitors.

Kieran McKenna adding some fresh legs for potential counterattacks, you feel.

Oof.

Shea Charles sets his sights on goal after Leo Scienza's dribble across the face of the area is ended by a robust challenge.

Charles lashes the ball in first time but it's always rising over Christian Walton's crossbar.

This game a has a play-off semi-final feel.

There's still a lot of life left in this one with maybe plenty of twists and turns.

End-to-end and like-for-like.

Leo Scienza picks the ball up on the Saints left and tries a curler of his own from just outside the area, which is not too far away from the far top corner either.

Breathless stuff all over the pitch.

"Manning again" was ringing around St Mary's before Ryan Manning took that free-kick - the whole of the home support are now singing it after he scores his eighth of the season.

Manning has been deadly from dead-ball situations this season, you could almost sense something was going to happen in the lead-up to that goal!

Jaden Philogene drives down the left for Ipswich, all the way to the edge of the box, and thinks 'why not.'

His fizzing effort across goal is always rising and flashes inches past the angle of post and bar.

Cyle Larin is ok to continue, for now.

We're into the final half hour and Saints HAVE to win.

Brilliantly poised.

Cyle Larin slumps to the deck and Saints put the ball out of play to allow us all to catch our breath.

Ross Stewart is warming up for the hosts, not a bad replacement to have at your disposal.

It didn't look like it took much of a deflection but it came off Marcelino Nunez.

Now, can we continue to keep playing the way we are playing because 1-1 isn't good enough?

Saints immediately go in search of a second.

What a bonkers game.

What a joy the Championship has been all season long, and it might just go to the wire after all...

Jacob Greaves might be a touch lucky here.

He flies into a full-blooded challenge on Finn Azaz a yard outside the penalty area, gets very little of the ball and only after he'd got all of the man.

It's just a yellow, but it will be another dangerous set-piece for the hosts...

We are playing fast forward with good runs.

It's been good tempo but we have no choice, we need to win.

We're playing with great determination and I think that's better for us because we play better with great determination.
