Promotion-chasing Watford are being held 0-0 at half time by home side Huddersfield Town in the Championship this afternoon, with Chris Powell's men arguably the dominant side at the John Smith's Stadium.
After a tame opening, Sean Scannell brought the game to life as he picked out a shot from distance, only to see his effort rise just inches over the Watford crossbar.
Huddersfield threatened again midway through the half when Nahki Wells broke away at pace before finding James Vaughan, but the striker was wasteful as he ballooned his shot over the target on the counter.
When finally called upon, Heurelho Gomes provided the required quality to keep his side level as the Watford stopper produced a fine save at the top corner to keep out a header from Wells.
The visitors appeared a little toothless in attack and it took at least 30 minutes for the Hornets to register anything of note, with Troy Deeney winning a knock-down for Gianni Munari to guide straight at the keeper in the centre of the Town goal.
