    • Bury
    • Shrewsbury Town
    • 3-4 But Bishop has his penalty saved by Daniels, as Shrewsbury's players and supporters charge over to the hero in delight! They will be going to Wembley at Bury's expense, to face either Gillingham or Rochdale. Thanks for joining us!
    • 3-4 Shrewsbury regain through Worrall their lead in the shoot-out, and Andy Bishop must now score to keep Bury in it!
    • 3-3 Elliott Bennett scores for Bury off a long run, and put the pressure on Shrewsbury.
    • 2-3 McIntyre slots home coolly for Shrewsbury, who take a 3-2 lead!
    • 2-2 Superb save from Daniels, down to his left to save from Racchi!
    • 2-2 Moses Ashikodi replicates the previous penalty, leaving Brown with no chance!
    • 2-1 Mike Jones scores a terrific penalty into the bottom-left corner - he looked very confident.
    • 1-1 Ben Davies replies impeccably for Shrewsbury, to make it 1-1!
    • 1-0 Brian Barry-Murphy dispatches the first penalty for Bury!
    • 120+1 That's it, penalties will follow, as somehow Shrewsbury, and Daniels in particular, keep Bury at bay.
    • 120' One minute to be added, before penalties. What an exciting finale to the second half of extra-time.
    • 119' Bury are piling on the pressure as they continue to dominate possession: it's unbelievable that it has come to this for Alan Knill's side.
    • 118' Vociferous appeals from Bury for a penalty as, for the second time in the match, Neil Ashton tussles clumsily with Bennett, but nothing given.
    • 117' Danny Racchi replaces Steven Haslam for Alan Knill's third change, meanwhile. Andy Bishop has another two close-range drives saved point-blank from the inspired Daniels.
    • 116' As Paul Simpson prepares to make his third change, penalties are looming.
    • 115' Both sides are struggling to keep possession now, as tiredness creeps in, and long balls are being lumped up to the respective strikers in hope.
    • 114' Paul Simpson surprisingly takes off Grant Holt, with Nick Chadwick taking his place in attack.
    • 114' Another glorious chance falls to Bishop, who simply misses his kick as Bennett whipped in a terrific ball.
    • 113' Bennett forages his way down the right wing, and almost wins a free kick - well, he should have.
    • 111' Fantastic clearance by Moss off the line, as a header from Sodje was heading into the top corner, but the defender leapt and headed it over the bar.
    • 110' Ben Davies is booked for a slightly mis-timed challenge, but the Shrewsbury players are really not happy with referee Webster.
    • 99' Ashikodi is a proving a real handful, and Simpson will be delighted with the striker's impact so far.
    • 97' Ashikodi twists and turns inside the box, and almost sets up Davies, but his pass goes slightly awry.
    • 96' The visitors could do more than survive until penalties, with Holt continuing to look a very potent threat in attack.
    • 95' Shrewsbury have held possession well since going down to 10-men to their credit - can they hold on?
    • 94' Bishop is clean through for Bury, and surely must score, but somehow he strikes his shot straight at Daniels, who spread himself superbly.
    • 92' Unbelievable! Steven Leslie, the young substitute is sent-off for a very debatable aerial challenge with Bishop. Simpson is absolutely furious!
    • 91' The first half of extra-time is underway now, with both teams desperate to seize the initiative.
    • 90+4' Bury, who were two minutes away from Wembley, must now recover in extra-time, as the full-time whistle is blown! Normal time has finished 1-0 to Shrewsbury!
    • 90+3' But the midfielder strikes the wall, and away for a corner, before Holt heads over.
    • 90+2' Although the referee didn't see it, Sodje is adjudged to have handled the ball on the edge of the penalty area - which the linesman spots - and Davies will have a crack.
    • 90+1' Shrewsbury are pressing with particular intent now, with a buoyant away support behind them.
    • 90' Four minutes to be added, with both sides looking to score before extra-time!
    • 89' Late drama! Shrewsbury have scored to level the tie at 1-1, winning 1-0! The ball came back from a crowd of bodies, before McIntyre lashed home a drive from the edge of the area!
    • 87' More fine wing play from Bennett, who has played very well, almost produces a chance, but he is eventually dispossessed.
    • 85' Alan Knill stands imposingly on the touchline, urging his players to keep possession as they edge nearer to the final.
    • 84' Dawson and Ashton collide, with the defender falling extravagantly. The referee then books Dawson, but that was very harsh.
    • 83' Ashikodi does well to turn Futcher, but he can't reach the byline before being tackled.
    • 82' Nice interplay between substitute forwards Glynn Hurst and Andy Bishop, but it peters out around the box.
    • 81' Grant Holt is down after appearing to jarr his back in a challenge with Efe Sodje, but he is eventually back on his feet after being treated.
    • 79' Coughlan and Jones collide on halfway with no free kick given, and the match becomes quite scrappy now.
    • 78' Bury defender Ben Futcher comes up for two set-pieces and wins them both, but can't trouble Daniels with either.
    • 76' Moses Ashikodi has replaced Omer Riza in Shrewsbury's second change.
    • 75' A very dangerous corner is cleared away by Buchanan, before Holt has a fiercely-struck volley saved well by Brown.
    • 73' Bennett has two shots denied from inside the Shrewsbury box: the first was bravely blocked by Langmead, while the second was saved smartly by Daniels.
    • 72' Phil Jevons is replaced, along with Andy Morrell, with Hurst and Bishop coming on in their places.
    • 71' Bizarrely, the deep corner goes over everyone's head, and runs harmlessly away.
    • 70' Daniels cannot prevent a corner being awarded after Futcher's long drive was deflected away.
    • 69' Morrell's hold-up play is exemplary once again, as he brings Bennett involved with a ball out wide.
    • 68' David Worrall makes a fine challenge on Jones, who streaked down the left for Bury.
    • 67' Sodje and Holt scrap again for the ball, with the defender continuing to be a real pest for the striker, who is being grappled relentlessly at every set-piece.
    • 65' Paul Murray is coming off, to be replaced by Steven Leslie in Shrewsbury's first change.
    • 64' Holt is bundled over by Jones, as Shrewsbury look to gain some valuable possession.
    • 63' Simpson is preparing his first substitute as he attempts to change the flow of the game.
    • 62' Bury have had 10 attempts on goal, while Shrewsbury have had seven, as the home side press forward once more.
    • 61' Sodje lumps a long ball up field, but Shrewsbury now break as Holt picks up the loose ball.
    • 60' Simpson sits back on the bench in disgust as his side squander possession once more from a reasonable position.
    • 59' Paul Simpson urges his players forward from the touchline anxiously, as Bury remain in the ascendency.
    • 58' A quickly taken free kick from Shrewsbury gives them a chance to break, but Buchanan makes a fine challenge on Worrall.
    • 56' Again Bury launch an attack, with Morrell producing a fine swivel and shot, but Luke Daniels makes a fine reflex save to parry away from danger.
    • 55' Bury attack with real intensity as, first Elliott Bennett whips a superb ball across the face, which Morrell slides, but cannot get the crucial contact on.
    • 54' Phil Jevons and Neil Ashton collide, but no free kick is given either way.
    • 52' With the second leg locked at 0-0 so far, Bury's slender lead continues to hold them in good stead. Read the match report from the first leg, by clicking here.
    • 51' Riza bustles his way down the right once more, and is harshly penalised for a physical challenge on Futcher.
    • 50' A period of pinball ensues on halfway, as neither side is able to gain control of the ball.
    • 49' Riza claims for a penalty after Haslam apparently held him back, but that was pretty unconvincing.
    • 48' Brown does well to pounce on a dangerous loose ball, darting off his line quickly - good goalkeeping.
    • 47' Holt is immediately fouled by Sodje: no surprises there then!
    • 46' The second half is underway at Gigg Lane, with the scores goalless, despite an enthralling first half.
    • 45+2' Davies whips a devilish free kick over the wall, and it looks to be heading for the top corner, but Brown tips it away superbly! It's half-time at Gigg Lane, with Phil Jevons's missed penalty keeping it goalless.
    • 45+1' Jevons does well to win a corner, as his cross appears to strike Kelvin Langmead on the arm, but the half-hearted appeals are waved away. Ben Futcher is booked for a robust challenge on Davies.
    • 45' Morrell is bundled over by Ashton, who really needs to be careful with his no-nonsense approach. Just one minute to be added.
    • 44' A fine strike from distance by Murray brings a smart parried save from Brown, tipping it over the bar.
    • 43' Davies bustles his way into the Bury half, but drags his shot wide from 25 yards.
    • 42' Shrewsbury keep the pressure on as the half comes to a close.
    • 41' Kevin McIntyre then misses a glorious opportunity at the other end after being put through by a delightful pass from Holt - but he slides his shot wide of Brown's far post.
    • 40' Ben Futcher causes Havoc in the Shrewsbury box, and lays the ball off to Jevons, but the striker blasts over the bar from close range - good chance!
    • 39' Bury continue to press forward, looking to stamp their authority on the first half.
    • 38' Another collision between Morrell and Langmead almost results in a dangerous free kick for Bury, but was not awarded.
    • 37' Elliott Bennett is booked for a petulant confrontation with Neil Ashton after the defender halted his run cynically.
    • 35' Omer Riza is treated as there is a delay following his clash with Brown as another loose ball was pounced upon by the keeper.
    • 34' There really was no conviction at all from Jevons with that penalty, and Daniels was swamped by his team mates after making the save.
    • 33' Phil Brown is caught in no-man's land, racing out rashly to deny Holt, but very nearly leaving himself vulnerable.
    • 31' Phil Jevons steps up, and places a diabolical penalty tamely, straight at Luke Daniels, who makes a simple save, before making two more reaction stops from the follow-up!
    • 30' Penalty to Bury! Neil Ashton brings down Andy Morrell clumsily, and referee Webster has no hesitation!
    • 29' Paul Simpson is out on the touchline, barking orders at his Shrewsbury players with real urgency - but his side are holding parity.
    • 28' Omer Riza, making his first start for the Shrews, puts Brown under more pressure after a long ball from Davies, but to no avail.
    • 27' Sodje sells his keeper, Wayne Brown short with a poor back-pass, but he just about manages to clear, under pressure from Holt and Riza.
    • 25' Morrell and Jevons hold the ball up effectively once more, as Bury look to re-establish their early advantage.
    • 24' It is a good delivery from the corner by Davies, and it narrowly eludes Holt at the back post.
    • 23' Davies attempts to float the resulting set-piece over the wall, but it is deflected away for a corner.
    • 22' Sodje has Holt around the neck once more, and this time referee Webster spots the infringement and awards a free kick.
    • 21' Morrell is caught offside in a very dangerous position - he is looking very ominous for the opposing defenders.
    • 20' A huge appeal for a penalty from Elliott Bennett, as Neil Ashton looks to have handled the ball inadvertently from a chipped cross out on the right in the area.
    • 18' Referee Webster has a stern word with McIntyre as he collides heavily with Dawson, but it was simply over-zealous play from the midfielder.
    • 17' Murray and Davies combine well to bring the ball out for Shrewsbury from a dangerous position, and almost release Holt at the other end.
    • 16' Jones shows his pace once more down the right for Bury, as the home side are roared on by their vociferous support today.
    • 14' Neat interplay once more between Jevons and Morrell almost finds an opening for Bury, but the attack peters out.
    • 13' Buchanan and Worrall have a tussle out on the right, before the referee decides to award a Bury free-kick on halfway.
    • 12' Holt is a real pest for opposition defences, and the striker causes Sodje more problems with a strong run down the left.
    • 11' Efe Sodje has his arms all over Grant Holt, holding the striker back blatantly, but his indiscretion goes unnoticed.
    • 10' While Bury have the better of the early play, Omer Riza produces a powerful run down the right wing, before a whipped cross doesn't find his partner Holt.
    • 9' Andy Morrell then turns and has another crack from the edge of the area - the veteran striker is employing a shoot-on-sight policy in this first half.
    • 8' Elliott Bennett almost finds himself in front of goal after a neat turn in the Shrewsbury box, with Phil Jevons causing more trouble.
    • 7' Phil Jevons goes down under a challenge from Graham Coughlan in the penalty area, but referee Webster is unimpressed.
    • 5' A good swivel and shot from Andy Morrell on the edge of the Shrewsbury box brings a sharp stop from Wayne Brown.
    • 4' As Andy Morrell bustles his way down the left, why not remind yourself of the first leg, where Bury took a 1-0 lead.
    • 3' Ashton clears under pressure for Shrewsbury after Mike Jones had forced his way into the area.
    • 2' Shrewsbury start quickly; a neat interchange between Grant Holt and Ben Davies almost creates an early opening.
