It is goalless at the break in the Championship clash between Derby County and Bournemouth at the iPro Stadium.

The visitors came within inches of taking the lead in the 16th minute as Matt Ritchie fired an effort from distance, but it clattered off the post and was cleared to safety by the Rams.

Eddie Howe's side were playing the better football and again came close as Tokelo Rantie and Lewis Grabban played a neat one-two, which saw Grabban find space for a shot but his attempt went wide from close range.

Grabban had another chance minutes later as he turned his man on the edge of the area and fired a shot on his right foot, but he could only direct it straight into the hands of Lee Grant.
