6 min: Liam Moore meets the corner at the other end but can't keep his header down.
11 min: Kalas storms in to make the last-gasp slide tackle on Ejaria, before O'Leary is forced into action to scramble away Meite's curling shot. Promising signs for Reading.
16 min: Diedhiou meets Dasilva's fizzed cross, but the goalbound header is well blocked by Miazga.
