Hull City and Derby County have played out a goalless 45 minutes of a drab Championship encounter at the KC Stadium.

There have been no clear-cut chances and very little to be excited about.

Connor Sammon had the first real effort on goal in the eighth minute after latching onto Paul Coutts's pass, but his shot from inside the area went wide.

Great play by Jeff Hendrick nearly carved out an opportunity for the visitors, as he made a darting run before flashing the ball across the six-yard box.

Robert Koren then headed wide from Ahmed Elmohamady's cross on the half-hour mark.
