Minute-by-minute updates on the action at Wembley, an all-Midlands affair. Join Barry Glendenning.

Mansfield Town central midfielder George Maris is a doubt after he was forced to sit out the second leg of his side’s semi-final win over Northampton with injury. The players of Port Vale wear white shirts, shorts and socks. 45+3 min: Port Vale advance in search of a third goal, trying to kill the game off. The ball comes back his way in a matter of seconds. 52 min: Port Vale’s Jake Taylor clips the ball to the far post and Mansfield half-clear. Free-kick for Mansfield, which is sent into the penalty are by Stephen McLaughlin. The knockdown is put out for a corner. He used to wear the No8 shirt for Mansfield Town but is managing their opponents today. 55 min: Two goals and a man to the good, Port Vale are completely dominating the early stages of this second half. Ollie Hawkins gets his second yellow soon after his first for a ridiculous late lunge on James Wilson. That is indescribably dumb by the Mansfield central defender. Kian Harratt and James Wilson scored two in the space of less than four minutes to give Port Vale a comfortable lead, before Mansfield’s Ollie Hawkins plunged his side further into the mire by getting himself sent off for two bookable offences within five minutes. 57 min: Mansfield enjoy a spell of sustained possession but still struggle to get beyond the halfway line. 63 min: Port Vale advance with James Wilson riding a couple of tackles to stumble his way through midfield.

PORT VALE have one foot in League One after completely dominating the League Two play-off final so far against Mansfield.Headers from Kian Harratt and.

LEWIS STEELE AT WEMBLEY STADIUM: Vale boss Darrell Clarke has been through many dark days this year but this glorious day will rank as his brightest ...

Mansfield clear, but that's promising from Vale and a bright early show of attacking intent from the former Man United striker. McLaughlin lofts a cross into the right-hand side of Vale's penalty area, which is cleared behind from a corner. A huge let-off for Port Vale! McLaughlin swings in a seemingly tame cross from the left. Here's how the players looked a few minutes ago. Mansfield see the danger behind for a goal-kick. Hawkins is booked for a clash with Smith - his 15th booking of the season. 'There were a lot of dark days and there will be many more in the future,' he said in the build-up to this game. McLaughlin tries his luck from the rebound on the turn outside the penalty area, sending his shot just wide of Stone's right-hand post. That's the start to this half Vale would have wanted. Vale nearly have a third! In the end, Harratt reprimands himself for being slightly out of position. Benning clips a through-ball into the path of Charsley inside the penalty area, whose deft finish is denied by an assistant refereeing decision.

Luck just continued to go against the team in yellow when in the 41st minute they had a chance cleared off the line by what looked like millimetres.

Kian Harratt, James Wilson and Mal Benning were on target for Vale after Mansfield's Oliver Hawkins was sent off.

“We didn’t give ourselves a chance,” said a frustrated Nigel Clough, whose side can still be proud given they were in the relegation places last October. Would he nonetheless be back to watch Nottingham Forest in Sunday’s Championship final? Within four minutes Wilson made it two from close range after Ben Garrity had nodded a delivery from the right wing-back, David Worrall, onto the bar. Jake Taylor pulled the strings in midfield but the outstanding performer was James Wilson, once such a feted youngster at Manchester United and now looking a class above this level. Once they had taken the lead through Kian Harratt, Vale never looked like losing a tie that had appeared too close to call at the outset. I think she was up there kicking every ball, so I dedicate that to my daughter.” It had been an afternoon of deep, meaningful gestures. Port Vale were going up to League One, that much was certain: their excellent left wing-back Mal Benning had just volleyed in the third goal and, in truth, the game had been settled long before then.

"The main thing is we got the win. "We need to use this as an incentive. Congratulations to Darrell and Port Vale. We missed a good chances early on and then conceded two. But you've got to control it on the pitch and I thought we were excellent in all departments. "You've got to get yourself back up off the canvas. Then we missed another good chance and when we go down to 10 men it's game over. To come and win, I'm over the moon. I wanted to be a leader of the group. You are obviously delighted to be 2-0 up against 10 men, but they kept going and we needed that third goal to wrap it up. But I want to dedicate this to my daughter Ellie, who I lost. A special mention to my wife and children, my family have been absolute rocks. That allowed Harratt the chance to give Vale the lead.
