8.29pm: Cox with the delivery, Creaney heads it goalwards but there's not enough purchase on it and Putnins saves with ease.
8.26pm: After all their dominance, Town fall behind to a poor goal. Cross comes in, Etheridge caught in no man's land and Williams heads home with ease.
8.24pm: Goal Lowestoft. Williams heads home from a cross. Etheridge nowhere near it.
