A scrappy performance from both sides has seen Cambridge United and Northampton Town go into the break with the score 0-0 in their League Two match.
There were few chances of note early on as both sides struggled to create opportunities in a disjointed opening fifteen minutes.
Ivan Toney fired well over the bar after being found by Joel Byrom, before Kaid Mohamed's deflected effort went past the wrong side of the post for the visitors.
The best move of the half eventually came from Cambridge, with Ryan Donaldson offloading to the overlapping Greg Taylor.
The midfielder's cross was met by Adam Cunnington's header, but Jordan Archer was there to parry away.
