Derby County and Brighton & Hove Albion are locked in a stalemate at the half-time stage of their match this afternoon.

Brighton were the first side to test the opposition goalkeeper when David Lopez fired in a free kick from the edge of the box that Adam Legzdins had to save.

Andrea Orlandi also came close to giving the visitors the lead when he got on the end of Bruno's cross, but his header went just over.

Brighton continued to push forward looking for the opener, with Stephen Dobbie and Ashley Barnes linking up well before the former scuffed his shot wide in the last chance of the half.
