  • West Ham-Blackburn

    45+2'’ Half-time is called at Upton Park, and it's not been a great first return for Paul ince as a manager. It's been a good game so far though, let's hope for more of the same after the break.

  • Middlesbrough-Stoke

    36'’ Disaster for Boro as Amdy Faye is given a straight red card for a two footed lunge on Gary O'Neil. You don't get away with those type of challenges these days I'm afraid. What's worse it all came from a Boro counter attack set up after a woeful "training ground" free-kick move from Stoke.

  • Bolton-WBA

    44'’ And as we approach half-time the sides are level. West Brom probably deserve to be ahead just on the basis of their play, but Bolton's style of play does bring chances!

  • Everton-Portsmouth

    32'’ Oooh! Everton so close to the equaliser! This time it's Kaboul who bails out Pompey with a last ditch clearance as Yakubu seems certain to put the ball over the line! It's Vaughan's initial header back across the face of goal with James all over the place that nearly leads to the breakthrough...

  • Bolton-WBA

    32'’ After an outstanding move, Borja Valero was in behind Bolton's right back. He should really have squared it but shot instead. Easy save!! Brilliant move though.

  • West Ham-Blackburn

    31'’ Andre Ooijer, bviously annoyed about that disallowed goal, is booked for a foul on Etherington.

  • West Ham-Blackburn

    30'’ Warnock fires a long ball into the box that Samba nods down for DERBYSHIRE TO SCORE WITH HIS FIRST TOUCH!!! Wait, the flag's up! The equaliser's been ruled out! Replays show that Derbyshire was in line with the last defender when the ball was played in. A terrible decision!

  • West Ham-Blackburn

    22'’ GOAL!! Blackburn pull one back through Jason Roberts! The striker gets his second of the season as he turns and fires a low shot across Green into the far bottom corner!

  • Everton-Portsmouth

    22'’ What a save from James to keep Pompey in front! Incredible reaction from the veteran to keep out Arteta's volleyed effort from Yakubu's cross! The ball ricochets against the upright and Arteta can't scramble the rebound over the line as James dives at his feet!

  • West Ham-Blackburn

    20'’ GOAL!!! The Hammers are 2-0 up now! Noble's shot goes in off Samba! Ashton was in an offside position when his presence made Samba swipe at the ball to clear, but as he didn't touch the ball he technically wasn't affecting play! A future case study for reviewing the crazy offside laws if ever there was one!

  • Middlesbrough-Stoke

    19'’ Great save by Turnbell - he has to get down quickly to his bottom left hand corner to push away an excellent curled free kick from Liam Lawrence from 30 yards out.

  • West Ham-Blackburn

    19'’ Great football from Blackburn as they try to build an attack through the midfield, lots of zipping accurate passes and Reid feeds ROBERTS... Shot is blocked by Upson!

  • Everton-Portsmouth

    17'’ Here's Crouch again winning another header... the ball finds its way to Defoe! Oooh! Super effort from the goalscorer! Great save from Howard though, to tip the ball round the post for a corner!

  • Bolton-WBA

    14’ Amir Khan looks on as Joey O'Brien takes a blow to his head and is substituted. Riga is on.

  • Hull-Wigan

    '12’ But a fantastic counter attack right from that corner which was cleared to Antonio Valencia then went on an amazing run right through Hull's half and shot low into the net.

  • Middlesbrough-Stoke

    11'’ Great chance for Boro goes begging as Afonso Alves is found free in the box after a lovely whipped cross by Gary O'Neil. The Brazilian can only direct his header wide though. The camera pans to Mido on the bench and the Egyptian's face shows an expression that screams "I would have scored that." He might have too!

  • Everton-Portsmouth

    12'’ GOAL! Totally against the run of play, Pompey take the lead through Defoe! Crouch uses his height to flick on to his strike partner, but there's still plenty to do... some neat footwork and a slightly scuffed shot under the body of Howard later and Pompey are one ahead!

  • West Ham-Blackburn

    12'’ GOAL!!! West Ham take the lead! It's the first time Faubert has fired a corner in with real pace and Callum Davenport rises above two Blackburn defenders to head past the flailing Robinson!

  • Bolton-WBA

    9'’ Bolton have a free-kick in a dangerous position. It's floated to the back-post by Joey O'Brien for namesake Andy but a Baggies defender clears for a corner, which Bolton make little of.

  • Hull-Wigan

    '3’ And an early goal for Wigan right from a corner taken by Kevin Kilbane which is deflected in By Samuel Ricketts for an own-goal.

  • Bolton-WBA

    6'’ Chance for Miller!! A great run down the wing by Morrison, and he finds Miller. Left footed but it's blocked by Steinsson and out for a corner!

  • West Ham-Blackburn

    7'’ It took all of seven minutes for Vincenzo Grella to earn his first yellow card in English football for a high tackle on Scott Parker, who is still down receiving treatment.

  • Hull-Wigan

    '1’ And we're underway here at the KC Stadium!

  • Everton-Portsmouth

    1'’ Underway at Goodison Park!
