Crewe Alexandra and Swindon Town are locked at 0-0 at half time in their League One encounter at Gresty Road this afternoon.
Rod Thomas flashed a shot narrowly over the bar as the visitors began on the front foot.
However, Lawrence Vigouroux then tipped Ryan Colclough's vicious drive away at the other end before the visitors hacked the ball off the line from a corner with a number of Crewe players lurking.
Crewe began to forge more chances as the first half wore on, but Lauri Dalla Valle's header shaved the post 10 minutes before the break and Colclough could only fire straight at Vigouroux.
In the 45th minute, Vigouroux produced another save to claw away Chris Atkinson's powerful effort.
