Key events
74 mins: Salford would need to score in the next five to have any chance but nothing this afternoon has indicated they might.
County are slowing things down.
72 mins: Start the car, duck, the Magpies are off to League One.
GOAL! Grant does extremely well on the right. It looks like his cross is a duffer as it goes behind Jatta but Jones leaves Graydon in his wake and pummels the ball into the corner.
GOAL! Notts County 3-0 Salford (Jones, 70)
Jones has send the Pies to heaven.
70 mins: Iorpenda decides to go it alone despite having options and his shot is very weak, allowing Young to fall on it.
68 mins: Grant replaces Luker for County.
66 mins: HYDRATION BREAK!
64 mins: Jones looks to be fouled by Woodburn but the referee is not interested and Salford counter without success.
Grant is being prepared by Paterson.
62 mins: Borini has come out to bark the orders. I think Salford are very much 3-4-3 now.
60 mins: Borini and Harris are on for Salford. The pair have cracking CVs, taking in Sampdoria and Metalist Kharkiv, and both have enjoyed success in Turkey. Cooper and Longelo off. Should be a fun formation now ..
58 mins: As we head towards the hour mark, some more changes must come. Salford have improved since the break but are still seeking greater dynamism, while County make want to freshen things up.
Ness is booked for taking down Udoh in cynical fashion.
56 mins: Woodburn thwacks in a cross, which deflects of Bedeau’s arm but it is not an illegal action. The ball reaches Graydon anyway but he fluffs his finish.
54 mins: Mnoga takes down Luker. The defender is on a yellow and the County players have a word with the referee looking for a second, which he is lucky not to receive.
52 mins: Cesay catches someone quite high to give away a free-kick but does not suffer any further punishment.
50 mins: County have a corner on the left. Jones lifts the ball into the box but Oluwo flicks away.
Salford break up the pitch but it ends with Garbutt’s cross going out off a County leg but the referee gives a goal kick.
48 mins: Jatta drives a cross from the byline but Mnoga is there to whack away. A third Notts County goal would completely kill this game off.
46 mins: Salford almost have a goal within 20 seconds as Cesay goes through on goal but Belshaw comes out bravely to stop him and gathers the ball. The goalkeeper seems to get a stud in the knee for his troubles.
Second half
Here we go again!
Woodburn replaces Butcher for Salford.
Half-time reading.
Half-time: Notts County 2-0 Salford
The Magpies have been the much better team and punished Salford’s mistakes to put them 45 minutes away from League One.
45+2 mins: We are half way through four minutes added on.
Salford need to get through to the break and then come up with a plan to change things. Woodburn, Harris and Borini could be interesting options.
GOAL! Jones pings the free-kick to the back post where McDonald is waiting to lift it into the danger area where Ness is primed to head into the top corner.
GOAL! Notts County 2-0 Swindon (Ness, 45)
A well-worked free-kick is headed home by Ness.
44 mins: Mnoga takes down Jones in crude fashion. The Salford man is cautioned while the Notts County midfielder writhes in pain. It is a poor challenge but VAR do not need to intervene.
42 mins: Longelo is needlessly fouled by Ness on the left flank. Not a smart bit of defending. Garbutt comes over to take it but it goes over everyone. It looks a decent cross but no one in red knew what to do.
40 mins: Robinson has his finger to his lips as he ponders how to change things. He also looks like he has put plenty of sun cream on.
38 mins: Norburn is too relaxed on the edge of his own box and is almost dispossessed.
36 mins: Jatta puts in a cracking challenge to win the ball back from Mnoga. A man of many talents.
34 mins: Mnoga has taken it upon himself to wake Salford up, charging out of defence and straight into Robertson to win a free-kick. They quickly lose the ball and Notts County can now be more patient.
GOAL! A superb pass from Jones catches out the centre-backs, allowing Jatta to latch onto the ball and slot a shot into the corner.

Melie Kerr calls the coin correctly and decides to have first use of a sun baked pitch.
“We’ll try and have a better start than last time,” she says after her side were tottering at 11-4 in the previous match in Canterbury. The still managed to win though, largely thanks to the experienced hands of Sophie Devine who made an assured 87 with support from a half century scoring Maddy Green.
