Tampa Bay Buccaneers give up seven turnovers as they go down to Carolina Panthers in NFL London

6:06PM

Full time: Panthers 37 Bucs 26

That's it. Impressive from the Panthers, for whom Christian McCaffrey is a major force. Good work from the QB Kyle Allen and plenty of bruising, domineering work from the defensive line. For the Bucs, quarterback Jameis Winston threw occasionally wonderful passes but overall his decision-making was off. Tampa turned the ball over seven times and, well, you don't win many games doing that. Thank you for following this with us, match report coming up, and that's goodnight.

5:54PM

Fourth quarter: Panthers 37 Bucs 26   

Interception!Well that really is the game. Cockrell with the pick, he runs it out of bounds.

Panthers ball, first and ten on the Tampa Bay 24 yard line.

5:53PM

Fourth quarter: Panthers 37 Bucs 26   

Three shots in a row from Winston, but three incomplete passes. Shame. Well, they might as well go for it on the 4th down.

5:52PM

Fourth quarter: Panthers 37 Bucs 26 

Winston finds Godwin, who gets out of bounds at the TB 45 yard line for, what, 22 yards............

5:51PM

Fourth quarter: Panthers 37 Bucs 26 

Okay then. This has to be the moment. It's first and ten on their own 23. The Bucs need a big, quick drive and then a touchdown.

5:50PM

Fourth quarter: Panthers 37 Bucs 26

McCaffrey with the short run and it's close, very close, but no first down. Punt.

5:43PM

Fourth quarter: Panthers 37 Bucs 26

What can Tampa fashion, then? They kick off. Touchback. The Panthers pass for six yards, now McCaffrey runs for three more. It's third down and one on the Carolina 34 yard line and the Bucs D could really do with a big play right about now.

5:39PM

Fourth quarter: Panthers 37 Bucs 26

Winston passes short middle to Brate, who makes 37 yards to the Carolina 26. And here is Ogunbowale going over for the touchdown, to say nothing of a two point conversion and suddenly there is hope yet for the Buccaneers. Winston himself scrambling in for the two.

5:31PM

Fourth quarter: Panthers 37 Bucs 18     

They have to settle for a field goal but, at 29 yards, it's a regulation matter for Joey Slye and he delivers the three points.

5:25PM

Fourth quarter: Panthers 34 Bucs 18   

And that surely is the end of the matter. Three and out, the Panthers punt... but Bobo Wilson fluffs the catch! Carolina pounce on the ball. Dear oh dear.

5:20PM

Seen too much of this today

5:14PM

Fourth quarter: Panthers 34 Bucs 18  

Yes he can! A series of fine plays from the Bucs QB, hitting his routes and delivering passes, as he finds Godwin and Ogunbowale for 20-plus yard passes each. Nicely done. On the ten yard line, no huddle offense and here he is out of the shotgun passing short down the middle to Brate for ten yards on the touchdown. That was a lot more like it: 60 yard drive and some classy passing.

5:12PM

Fourth quarter: Panthers 34 Bucs 10   

Kyle Allen really has been very impressive today as the shotcaller for the Panthers. He is, on paper anyway, only keeping the slot while Cam Newton returns to fitness but if he keeps playing like this then who knows.

His opposite number today, Bucs QB Jameis Winston was the overall number one draft pick in 2015 and clearly has incredible talent but is not impressing with his decision-making so far. Can he lead a rally now?

5:03PM

Fourth quarter: Panthers 34 Bucs 10 

Allen now with the pass short right to Samuel for 13 yards, he's into the endzone for the touchdown and that's surely going to be the ballgame for the Carolina Panthers. The score comes after a ten-play drive for 75 yards and it leaves the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a mountain to climb in Q4.

A Manchester United-esque performance from the Bucs, you have to say.

5:00PM

Third quarter: Panthers 27 Bucs 10 

But the Panthers have the ball again and are putting together a commanding drive. Allen passes deep left to Moore for 16 yards, that takes them to the Tampa Bay 11 yard line. They lose a couple of yards on the next play but..

4:58PM

Third quarter: Panthers 27 Bucs 10

MONSTER field goal from  Matt Gay, that must be 54 yards. And it is good.

4:50PM

Third quarter: Panthers 27 Bucs 7

And the Panthers make him pay! Curtis Samuel runs it in and that's a Touchdown Panthers.

4:49PM

Third quarter: Panthers 20 Bucs 7

Ooh this has turned into an out and out shocker now for the QB Winston. He is intercepted yet again, Luke Kuechly the grabber, and that's the turnover.

4:36PM

Third quarter: Panthers 20 Bucs 7

The Panthers summon Joey Slye for a field goal attempt and it is good.

4:25PM

Presumably given a wildcard into the event

4:17PM

Second half underway!

And it is the Panthers who have the football.

4:04PM

Half time: Panthers 17 Bucs 7

A rarity to end the half, but some more familiar sights throughout it: some poor decision-making from the QB Winston, some tigerish sacks from the Panthers D, and the star running back Christian McCaffery going over the line twice, once on a run and once as a receiver. That guy is an absolute class act and unless the Bucs can get a bit more composure on offense, I don't see them coming away from Tottenham with anything to show for their journey.

4:01PM

One second left of the half

Slye will have a chance of a fair catch free kick from where the catch was taken. It's a long old way...

.... and it is...

No good! Just wide of the upright and that is the half.

3:59PM

Second quarter: Panthers 17 Bucs 7 

A sensational pass from Winston and it seems to be in the air for an age as Mike Evans runs onto it. The ball is into his arms, he juggles it, he loses it, he seems to grab it again and... he's dropped it. That was a certain touchdown had he held onto it.

3:51PM

Second quarter: Panthers 17 Bucs 7 

Panther QB Allen has problems of his own as he gets nabbed for a loss of, ooh, 12 yards.  They're soon punting that away.

3:50PM

Second quarter: Panthers 17 Bucs 7

First and ten on the 12 yard line. The Bucs snap it... and have lost it! Have they? Winston pump-fakes but cannot find any way to get rid of it. They just about gather it. Loss of nine yards.

Now Winston pulls back deep into the pocket and out to the side... he cannot see a pass... he is holding, holding, holding and he's going to get got here. Coverage sack! You've got to throw that away, surely, if you're the QB? Forced fumble and the ball is with the Panthers.

Three first half turnovers for the Bucs.

3:42PM

Second quarter: Panthers 17 Bucs 7

Winston does brilliantly to stay on his feet and find Evans, He is a big, strong QB and he made that count to his advantage there under a lot of pressure.

Wonderful catch from Wilson here as he just manages to grab on and get both feet down before his momentum takes him out of bounds. He's out at the Carolina 12 for a gain of ten yards.

We've had the two minute warning...

3:37PM

Second quarter: Panthers 17 Bucs 7

Allen with excellent presence of mind to just hold and hold and hold and assess things as he watches it all unfold.... but he's not going down the field, he's going short on the diagonal to Christian McCaffrey. The running back gathers the ball, spins and powers forward, he defenders have no chance against this guy in open field and he is soon spinning through for his second touchdown. Vernon Hargreaves the man who slips over and is left looking pretty silly, sitting on his keyster as the form man McCaffrey takes it home for his second TD.

3:32PM

Second quarter: Panthers 10 Bucs 7

Winston's pass is intercepted! Barber the target but it is snapped up by Elliott

3:27PM

Second quarter: Panthers 10 Bucs 7

Panthers cannot reply to any effect with their offense and are soon punting it away. Bucs have the ball back before you know it.

3:19PM

Second quarter: Panthers 10 Bucs 7

More like it for the Bucs! OJ Howard with a catch and a run as Tampa put some plays together and get close to the Panthers goal line.

They got the ball because of a fumble on a punt and now Ronald Jones has twisted and jinked his way over the line from close range for a touchdown.

3:13PM

End of first quarter: Carolina Panthers 10 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 0

That is an excellent start from the Panthers. Winston and the Bucs offense have not turned up.

3:07PM

First quarter: Panthers 10 Bucs 0   

Moore is getting his game going down that left flank and has snaffled another catch. McCaffrey punches through now for a few yards and, having started on their own one, it's second and goal for the Panthers.

McCaffrey again... he tries to charge through for the line but is stopped.

Third down: Allen goes for the line and he now is stopped.

They're going for it on fourth dow!

Fourth down: McCaffrey muscles towards the line... has he got it? He has!

A 99-yard drive for the touchdown and it came down to a matter of an inch or two! But that's a touchdown alright.

3:01PM

First quarter: Panthers 3 Bucs 0 

Having started on his own one yard line, Kyle Allen has the ball, it's third down and four and the Panthers are pushed back a long way into their own territory... and they complete a first down. Quick pass, accurate and efficient.

Nice pass now as well for Olsen as the tight end runs onto a 16 yard pass.

2:53PM

First quarter: Panthers 3 Bucs 0 

Strong composure from Winston as he comes back in the pocket and has the presence of mind to find Godwin, who fights hard for the ball and gets it. First down. But Winston makes a poor decision next play and they lose seven yards.

Neither side's offense impressing much so far, it's second and 17 and there is an offensive time out.

2:50PM

First quarter: Panthers 3 Bucs 0

Kyle Allen airs out the ball on first down but it is not quite gathered. And a similar play right after as Allen delivers it for DJ Moore down the left but he cannot cling on. Quite a tough catch. But third down, he finds Moore again, this time a shorter pass, and he drops it under no pressure. That's not good. Punt.

2:45PM

First quarter: Panthers 3 Bucs 0

Winston looks for Wilson but he's not quite got that one right as well, he didn't put the ball where he wanted and this is going to be the lot on third down. Bucs punt.

2:40PM

First quarter: Panthers 3 Bucs 0

The Bucs defense do the business and it's three downs for not a lot for the Panthers. Nevertheless, they do have a field goal opportunity - and it's good. 49 yard field goal from Slye.

2:38PM

First quarter: Panthers 3 Bucs 0

And Winston has thrown a pick on the very first play! He looks for a regulation pass to Evans but it is picked off by Bradberry at the Tampa Bay 31.

2:36PM

Jameis Winston

has thrown 11 touchdown passes this season, second in the NFL, and he's going to get first use of the ball here as the Bucs Offense line up.

2:30PM

The players are out on the pitch

Which looks fantastic, I have to say. Very cool to have this in London. We're having a bit of military stuff, as we must do, before some anthem singing and then it's on with the show.

2:09PM

Chap from Peaky Blinders is in

1:24PM
