Both Shrewsbury Town and Hartlepool United have had a number of chances but neither team has found a breakthrough as the match reaches half time.

James Collins had the best chance for Shrewsbury but his shot drifted just wide of the post, despite the striker being in a good position.

Hartlepool's best opportunity came with a long-range Michael Duckworth shot which had Town keeper Jayson Leutwiler scrambling to tip the ball around the post.

Shrewsbury will be disheartened as James Wesolowski, who has just returned from injury, had to be stretchered off while Marlon Harewood received a yellow card for Hartlepool.
