Peterborough United have been held to a 0-0 half-time draw by Walsall at Bescot Stadium this afternoon.

Having lost their three previous games, Darren Ferguson's side travelled to Walsall with a point to prove, but it was the hosts that made all the early running.

Despite boasting much of the possession, Walsall only had one shot to show for their territorial dominance as Adam Chambers dragged a 20-yard effort wide after six minutes.

Posh grew into the game and Kgosi Ntlhe, making his first appearance in seven weeks, almost marked his comeback by flashing a long-range shot inches wide of the goal.

The visitors finished the half in the ascendency, with Michael Bostwick heading a Joe Newell cross into the side-netting as Ferguson's men found themselves frustrated in the first half.
