Live blog: Wigan Athletic v Crewe Alexandra

HT Latics 0 Crewe 0.Just not happening for Latics. Had all the ball without really looking capable of breaking the deadlock.

Board shows two minutes of added time...almost 10,000 fans all say together 'twooooooooooooooooo?' There's been at least double that length of stoppages. Plus a substitution.

Seconds before half-time, and Latics almost break through...quick free-kick finds Callum Lang, who drives the ball across the six-yard box and just in front of the lunging Kell Watts at the far post.

James McClean getting dog's abuse from the Crewe supporters behind the goal for, well, you know. Just being James McClean.

Power free-kick, Whatmough header, good save. Best chance so far.

League One officiating part 3452378736...

Max Power gets blatantly blocked off, referee gives nothing, Leam blazing on the touchline...Tom Naylor comes across and makes the foul, and gets a yellow. Yes he shouldn't do that but it's frustration caused by poor refereeing.

First chance for Latics and Will Keane, but he drags his shot wide, catching a little deflection on the way.

...at the DW, Latics aiming to move five points clear of third place, with THREE games still in hand...

Incredibly powerful and moving scene before kick-off as a tribute is read out on behalf of the Al Jasmi family to mark the passing of Muhammad Al Jasmi, who died last Friday at the age of just 21. No words to describe such a loss. #wafc
