It's three! Jordan Zemura has done it again. He breaks into the box and goes alone, firing across goal into the far corner. Job done.

Less than a minute into the second half and it's 2-0! Anthony sends Billing away down the left, his cross is spilled horribly by Collins, allowing Solanke to slam the loose ball home. It did the help of the post, but they all count!
Cherries 1 Barnsley 0
Second Barnsley change. Aaron Leya Iseka on for Clarke Oduor. Back underway.
Big 45 minutes coming up. Cherries have led in both previous home league games this season, before coming away with just a point in each.
Answer... With its flippers!
Bit of half-time entertainment for you. Got my cup of tea and a Penguin, complete with joke...
How does a penguin make pancakes?
Cherries 1 Barnsley 0
Jordan Zemura's goal separates the sides at the break.
Cherries 1 Barnsley 0
Should be 2-0. Anthony crosses low for Solanke, but he is denied by the feet of goalkeeper Brad Collins. Has to score.
Cherries 1 Barnsley 0
Into four added minutes.

Cherries have the ball in the net again. Anthony's free-kick is headed back across goal by Billing, Solanke gets a touch on to Lerma to score, but the Colombian strayed into an offside position.

Lloyd Kelly into the book for a sliding challenge on Frieser.

Big cheers as Gary Cahill comes sliding in for a challenge, sending the ball out the stadium.
Cherries 1 Barnsley 0
Half an hour gone. Cherries the better side and deservedly lead. Travers yet to be troubled.
Cherries 1 Barnsley 0
Williams's afternoon is over following that challenge by Billing. He will be replaced by Claudio Gomes with 28 minutes on the clock.
Cherries 1 Barnsley 0
Philip Biling goes into the book for a sliding challenge on Ben Williams.
Cherries 1 Barnsley 0
Solanke slips it through for Lerma, who crosses to Brooks in acres of space on the right. He goes for the shot, but gets it all wrong.
Cherries 1 Barnsley 0
So close to a second! It's brilliant from Brooks, linking up with Lerma before his shot is blocked.
Cherries 1 Barnsley 0
GOAL!!! Excellent play from Cherries. Starting down the right with Smith and Brooks, the Welshman moves it across to the left where Anthony feeds the marauding Zemura.
The left-back's initial effort is blocked, before he fires home at the second attempt for his first goal for the club. What a moment for the youngster.
Cherries 0 Barnsley 0
Frantic first few minutes, Cherries struggling to hold onto the ball.
Cherries 0 Barnsley 0
Game now underway.
A minute's silence observed in memory of all those who lost their lives in the 9/11 attacks, 20 years ago today.
Cauley Woodrow leads the line as skipper for Barnsley. He played alongside Scott Parker at Fulham.
'I really like Cauley' - Parker hoping to keep former teammate and Barnsley skipper Woodrow quiet
Squad certainly looking a lot stronger now than a few weeks ago. Steve Cook, Zeno Ibsen Rossi, Gavin Kilkenny and Leif Davis all missing out on a spot in the matchday squad today.
Team news is in and it is a debut for Gary Cahill.
Ryan Christie and Jamal Lowe could make their first appearances off a strong looking bench.
Cherries: Travers; Smith, Cahill, Kelly, Zemura; Lerma, Pearson, Billing; Brooks, Anthony, Solanke.
Subs: Mepham, Stacey, Marcondes, Christie, Rogers, Lowe, Nyland (g/k).
The transfer window has come and gone and there could be a few new faces on show this afternoon.
Gary Cahill was an unused sub in the draw at Hull, before Ryan Christie and Jamal Lowe signed up on deadline day.
And it sounds like former Chelsea and England man Cahill could feature this afternoon...

We're back!
After the two-week international break, Cherries return to action this afternoon, welcoming Barnsley to Vitality Stadium.
Both sides have undergone quite the change since losing in last season's Championship play-off semi-finals.
Following the departures of Jonathan Woodgate and Valerien Ismael, it's Scott Parker versus Markus Schopp this afternoon.
Kick-off is at 3pm and we'll have all the updates for you right here (not a Cristiano Ronaldo in sight!).
