Tottenham Hotspur and Hull City are goalless at the break of their Premier League clash at White Hart Lane, with the Tigers still in the bottom three as things stand.
The visitors were quickest out of the starting blocks as David Meyler was given space on the edge of the area five minutes in, but his shot was charged down.
Two minutes later, Hull came forward again, but Dame N'Doye's effort clipped a boot on the way to goal and was easily caught by Hugo Lloris.
Spurs soon worked their way into the game as Federico Fazio, Erik Lamela and Eric Dier all weighed in forward with a number of efforts.
The Tigers, however, countered by fashioning the best chance of the half in the 20th minute when Nikica Jelavic smashed a half-volley against the bar.
Ryan Mason then did well to reach the byline and cut the ball back in the 39th minute, but Lamela succeeded only in poking past the post as neither side managed to break the deadlock before the break.
