Good afternoon, and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Bournemouth v Southampton.

CLOSE! Daniels lets fly, cutting the shot across the face of goal and skimming the far post.

Van Dijk jumps to head clear, and it eventually falls to Smith, about 20 yards out, who doesn't have enough time to compose himself or control the ball properly, and his shot is poor.

Smith swings in a ball from the right but it's cleared immediately, and Cook has another go.

Southampton are now shouting for a penalty up the other end for handball, but that would have been incredibly harsh - Francis was turning away when the ball struck him on the arm.

DRAMA! Bournemouth think they should have a penalty, but Jon Moss has given the decision the other way, and booked Smith, presumably for falling over Boufal's outstretched leg. That looks a bad decision to me.

Stanislas has a free kick chance, a way outside the edge of the box, and takes his time preparing for it. He hits it - and it takes a series of odd deflections before going out of play for a throw.

Ball in from Boufal on the left, and Austin gets himself in a knot - looked like Tadic fancied a crack at that had he been given the opportunity.

Fraser is looking to cut in from the left, but that gets stopped and it's a free kick to Southampton.

Bournemouth are really pushing now, with Lewis Cook having a shot from about 25 yards out, but he doesn't get enough dip on it and it sails over the bar.

And then he does well again to save from Ake after the resulting corner. Busy.

SAVE! Great goalkeeping from Forster - Smith's shot is deflected by Defoe, and the keeper is aware and alert.

Comfortable header back to Forster from Hoedt.

Ake looks like he thinks he's been fouled by Austin on the halfway line, but the referee is not interested.

Pied is putting in some great balls from the right, showing a great touch twice over here, but he hasn't got enough pace on it for Tadic to direct his header.

Ake is having a go at some attacking duties now, but his distribution there leaves much to be desired.

CLOSE! Excellent leap from van Dijk, running in from the back post to head wide.

Corner to Southampton as Ake thwarts Pied again, who's seeking out Tadic at the far post.

Lots of long balls being hefted about here by both sides.
