It is all square at the break in the Championship clash between Bournemouth and Middlesbrough.
The home side settled into an early rhythm and Andrew Surman almost released Lewis Grabban down the middle, but his through-ball was just too powerful for the striker to control.
Bournemouth continued to dominate and could have taken the lead when Ian Harte lifted a free kick into the area and George Friend's attempted headed clearance landed just over his own bar.
Middlesbrough threatened just before the break when a cross from Albert Adomah came in from the right, but Lee Tomlin could only lift his effort over the bar.
