Rotherham United are 45 minutes from the League One playoff final after going in with a 2-1 lead against Preston North End this evening.

Paul Gallagher gave PNE the lead after 16 minutes when his flighted delivery evaded everyone and bounced into the far corner.

However, the Millers were back in it on 23 minutes when Ben Pringle's cross was turned home by Wesley Thomas.

Steve Evans's side then took the lead 10 minutes later when Lee Frecklington scored his 13th goal of the season after he headed home another delivery from Pringle.

John Welsh came close to levelling things up at the death of the half when Adam Collin spilled his long-range shot, but fortunately for the goalkeeper, the effort ended up bouncing wide.
