49 - Worrall bursts clear before Steve Cook pokes out a leg to turn his shot around the post. Sodje heads the resulting corner over.

4:12pm

48 - Pitman sends in a high floating cross-shot that had Carson in two minds. Grabban almost got on the end of it to head a certain goal before the ball curls just wide.

45+3 - Carson tips a quick free kick from Pitman round the post.

3:45pm

42 - Carson sticks out a foot to deny a certain goal from Eunan O'Kane, who wriggled through the Bury defence far too easily.

3:44pm

40 - Allsop pulls off a decent save low to his left to deny Bishop after the goalscorer sent a low snapshot on target following good work from Worrall on the left.

3:38pm

35 - SUB - Nicky Ajose replaces Craig Jones

3:37pm

Worrying signs for Craig Jones. It doesn't look like he can continue after going down holding his thigh. Jones twisted awkwardly after making a clearance.

3:31pm

28 - Calls for handball waved away by ref Chris Sarginson after Matt Ritchie drove the resulting free-kick at the wall. 

3:30pm

27 - Ashley Eastham heads clear after Lewis Grabban powers through on goal and lobs Carson.

3:24pm

20 - Pitman just fails to connect with a low Marc Pugh cross at the near post. Another let-off for Bury after earlier chances for Eunan O'Kane and Lewis Grabban. They are playing too high a line and failing to close the Cherries forwards down quick enough.

3:08pm

Craig Jones was receiving treatment on the sidelines after crashing into the advertising  hoardings, he's ok now though, although off the pitch a medic has been called to the home dugout. 

3:05pm

4 - David Worrall flashes a shot wide after a powerfull run from midfield.

3:01pm

The teams are observing a minute's applause before the match in honour of former kitman Ken Sullivan, former player Ray Bumstead and three-year old fan Harry Churchill, who both passed away this week.

2:59pm

The teams are out on the pitch. Bury had 366 fans cheering them on the last time they were on the south coast - at Portsmouth two weeks ago.

I'd say there was probably about 100 tops in the Goldsands today.

Team news

It looks like Kevin Blackwell has reverted back to a 4-5-1 formation, with centre midfielder Zac Thompson coming back into the starting line-up, replacing striker Craig Fagan, who is not in the squad.

Efe Sodje retains his place in the first 11, recovering from the knock on his knee that forced the veteran to limp off 15 minutes from the end of Tuesday's win at home to Stevenage.

Blackwell has also only named four subs, with no place for right-back Carl Regan or striker David Healy, as well as Fagan.

2:22pm

Full line-ups

BOURNEMOUTH: Allsop; Francis, Seaborne, Cook, Daniels; Ritchie, Arter, O'Kane, Pugh; Pitman, Grabban.

Subs: Jalal, Fogden, Macdonald, McQuoid, Elphick, Hughes, Tubbs.

BURY: Carson; Ebanks-Landell, Sodje, Eastham, Skarz; Carrington, Thompson; C Jones, Schumacher, Worrall, Bishop.

Subs: Ajose, Clarke-Harris, Belford, Mezague.

Referee: Chris Sarginson.

2:15pm

When the fixture list came out last summer, I had hoped Bury's trip down to the south coast to take on Bournemouth would have been played in glorious sunshine.

Not so, it's freezing at Goldsands, with a chill wind blowing in off the English Channel.

Anyway, lets hope that it hots up on the pitch at least as Bury bid to follow up their midweek win over Stevenage with another much-needed three points against Eddie Howe's promotion hopefuls.
