Neither Shrewsbury Town nor Chesterfield have been able to find a way through in the first half of their League One clash at New Meadow, with the score still 0-0 at half time.

The game started quietly with few openings, with Martin Woods's 30-yard drive sailing over the bar for the only sight of goal of the first 15 minutes.

Chesterfield had an opportunity to spark the game into life when Daniel Jones's ball in was met by the head of Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, but the striker could not keep his effort down from eight yards out.

Lee Novak fired inches wide from a loose ball and slid over from seven yards out as the away side increased the pressure, but neither side could find a breakthrough before half time.
