10:09pm

That's it. Brilliant win against the league leaders.

10:07pm

90 seconds left.

10:05pm

Fojtik smashes Cesky. An apt microcosm of this period. Swindon have dominated.

9:57pm

Nell once more is equalled by Lyle. The skipper rolls his eyes. He can't believe it!

9:56pm

Nell and Bullas both have shots blocked from point-blank range.

9:56pm

Brilliant pick out of the air from Lyle after Nell's shot from the right. It looked in all the way.

9:55pm

Become increasingly end to end.

9:51pm

Eleven minutes left for Cats to keep this lead.

9:44pm

Bison are clinging on for their lives here.

9:43pm

Thought not.

9:43pm

Anyone for overtime?

9:39pm

Baird goes close. Cats bossing it now.

9:35pm

Period three is go.

9:33pm

And here they are!

9:33pm

Teams about to come back out any second now.

9:25pm

Shots on goal totals now stand at 24 for Wildcats and 35 for Basingstoke.

9:15pm

End of period two.

9:09pm

Cats counter and Hoog is in on goal. Instead of beating Lyle, the puck dribbles to safety and the Swede goes careering into the boards.

9:07pm

Good hustling by Skinns and a nervy moment for Swindon.

9:07pm

Linesman Thrower loses his footing for the second time in two minutes. Roared by the supporters.

9:05pm

Good spell of pressure from the hosts.

9:02pm

Puck drifts across the Bison goal with Lyle nowhere but it's scrambled away.

9:01pm

Brilliant diving save from Lyle to deny Perkkio low down following's Hoog's square pass.

9:00pm

Lots of battling but not many clear chances at either end.

8:48pm

Quiet start to period two.

8:43pm

Fojtik tried to score all on his own then, and he nearly did. Great charge through the middle. Shot weak.

8:42pm

Bison back to full strength.

8:40pm

We're off and a matter of seconds in, Bison are now just one man down.

8:38pm

Teams are out.

8:36pm

A minute and a half before the teams return...

8:25pm

Two goals down at the first break but it could have been much worse after that slow start.

8:24pm

Matias Perkkio scoops over and Nell's effort hits traffic. No cigar. Cats will still have a two-man advantage when they come back out for period two though.

8:22pm

Tony Redmond binned now for two minutes.

8:21pm

Greener gets two minutes for slashing.

8:12pm

Stevie Lyle has not been tested too much by Swindon so far. Basingstoke look pretty happy with their lead and aren't desperate to push it too hard.

8:07pm

Far from the ideal start for the hosts, but they have started to regain their composure now and are making forays forward.

7:53pm

Now Tomas Fojtik is in the box and Bison are back to full strength.

7:52pm

Carl Graham off for cross-checking. Two minutes.

7:51pm

Nicky Watt shoots from the point. Nothing doing.

7:48pm

We've had the anthem and we're primed and ready...

7:44pm

Huge cheer for Cats as they appear on the ice.

7:42pm

Out come the players.

7:37pm

Around eight minutes till face-off now.

7:26pm

The countdown clock has run out. Must be time for the players to leave the ice.

7:22pm

Teams warming up and going through the usual rigmarole as we speak.

7:16pm

I'm not expecting any changes to the line-up that lost 3-1 at Guildford last night. Decent performance that was. Nothing to be too downhearted about. The hosts stand a good chance this evening.

7:13pm

It's ice hockey time once more as Swindon make heir second outing onto the ice in 24 hours. Basingstoke are the visitors to the Link Centre and face-off is at 7.45pm.
