Cobblers 1 West Ham United 2: As it happened as Town slip to narrow loss in pre-season friendly

58: Gorgeous first touch from Dylan Connolly to bring down a high ball. Does well then to tee up Ashley-Seal who tries to drive into the box but he's crowded out.

61: More changes. Pollock, Cross, Flanagan and Chukwuemeka all on, four academy graduates. Not much to shout about this half so far.

68: Excellent play by Pollock. He looks really sharp. Great touch to get past his defender before forcing a decent save from Trott.

71: More terrific link play. Cobblers forwards combining up really nicely. Pollock to Chukwuemeka to Connolly to Lewis, who brings another low stop from Trott

72: One trialist for another as Debayo is withdrawn for Camron mcWilliams.

79: Horsfall glances a header just wide. Cobblers have been much the better team this half.

FT: Northampton 1-2 West Ham. Excellent and promising run-out for the Cobblers that, despite the result. Town much the better side after half-time but couldn't quite force an equaliser. Had their chances to do so.
