FULL TIME Derby 2 Portsmouth 2 What a start for Derby County - a valuable draw that could have been a win, while Portsmouth will feel relieved to escape with a point after Andy Todd's heroics. Feels like there was never a close season break, doesn't it?

90 +1 Portsmouth substitution Harry Redknapp hints he's happy with a draw after bringing off Benjani for defender Pamarot in the famous 90th minute substitution

86 - Open gates Talk about a goal (or two) opening up the game - Pearson finds Teale on the angle for Derby that beats all four Pompey defenders but the shot is sliced wide

84 - GOAL Gary Teale races down the right wing and lofts in a flat cross to the centre of the six yard box where Andy Todd is waiting to power the ball home with his head 2-2

83 - GOAL Hreidarsson knocks down a Distin free kick for Utaka to side foot past Bywater at the far post

80 - All change Portsmouth swap Muntari for Matt Taylor, and Derby bring on McEveley for Andy Griffin, their second change of the day after Robbie Earnshaw went off in the 63rd

75 - Penalty shout The partisan home crowd shouted in unison as Mears went down under a challenge by Mendes but referee Mike Dean says Mendes won the ball and he did

73 - Portsmouth yellow card Sean Davis dives into the book after a trip on Craig Fagan

70 - Portsmouth substitution Kanu replaces debutant David Nugent, who leaves the field with shouts of 'what a waste of money' ringing in his ears. Harsh

69 - One for Portsmouth Now Pompey have a corner and Sol Campbell's up in the box but it's easily dealt with

64 - Triple corner Derby are piling on the pressure with three corners back-to-back. Oakley charged in with a shot from the first, the second was headed out on the opposite side, and the third is cleared by Portsmouth

58 - Yellow card Matt Oakley earns himself a booking for a bizarre-looking challenge where he appeared to handle the ball on the floor

54 - Fagan steals a yard While most of the Derby County appear to still be in the dressing room at the start of the second half, Fagan steals a yard from Distin and bears down on the Pompey goal. David James keeps the low shot out with a little help from his defence.

50 - Wasted chanceAgain Pompey get the chance after Steve Howard tripped Sol Campbell 25 yards from the goal but Utaka's free-kick turned out to be an anti-climax as it flew over the bar

46 - Back again Portsmouth kick off the second half and within a minute Benjani has a chance to put Pompey ahead after a long cross in from the left but Griffin does enough to get the ball away

HALF TIME - The half-time whistle blows at the end of an even first period at Pride Park. Derby's fast-paced start was rewarded with an early goal from Matt Oakley before Benjani took advantage of poor goalkeeping from Stephen Bywater to draw Portsmouth level

45 - Booking Lauren collects the first yellow card of the game after a reckless challenge on Stephen Pearson on the edge of the area

40 - Post Derby hit the upright, with Howard once again the tormentor as he rises highest to meet Craig Fagan's cross and his header bounces back off the post

37 - View from the stands Derby boss Billy Davies, who is serving a touchline ban, is keeping in touch with his dugout via a phone in the stands and is probably getting a better view from there anyway, so not much of a punishment!

35 - Better from Bywater The Derby keeper's handling is much safer as he drops down to grasp a shot from the edge of the area by Utaka

34 - Howard's way Much of Derby's play is going through Howard, with the burly striker continuing to win the aerial challenges with Campbell

28 - GOAL Benjani draws Pompey level, but Bywater will be disappointed with his contribution. Nugent lays the ball square to Benjani, who creates space with a little shimmy before poking his shot past Bywater, with the Derby keeper missing the ball

26 - No nugget from Nugent Pompey break quickly and Nugent looks menacing on a run, but he hits a tame shot wide of the target

24 - Pompey shot Pompey offer an attacking threat at last as Pedro Mendes fires in a shot from the edge of the area, but is an easy save for Bywater

18 - James wobbles The Pompey keeper drops a cross under pressure and Distin is on hand to spare his team-mate's blushes

16 - More Derby pressure Oakley looks to turn provider as his free-kick was met by Darren Moore, but David James had a simple save to make

15 - Pace from Mears Tyrone Mears' pace down the right for Derby is causing the Pompey back-line problems, while Howard's aerial ability is keeping Campbell and Distin on their toes

10 - Another Derby chance Andy Todd comes close to grabbing a second goal for the home side as he is just off target after Pompey fail to clear a free-kick from the right

8 - Shot for Nugent Pompey's summer signing tries to open his account, but volleys wide of the target from the edge of the area

5 - GOAL Derby take the lead early on as Matt Oakley thumps a volley beyond David James after Steve Howard headed on a long clearance

0 - We're underway The whistle blows to start Derby's return to Premier League action
