How the action unfolded

FT: Chesterfield 2 v 3 Dagenham and Redbridge

Spireites gave themselves too much to do. Second successive home defeat.

Reactin coming up.

For Oldaker.

Eight minutes to go.

This one is slipping away.

A Chesterfield plater was wrestled to the ground at the far post as he tried to get on the end of a deep cross from Miller. Looked a decent shout.

Final sub - 75 minutes

Miller on for Clarke.

Town are pressing here but they are struggling to find a way through the away defence.

18 to go, 1-3.
