Portsmouth are throwing everything at the Stoke back line now.

Route one is the only option.

We've got three minutes left of six added on by the referee.

So far it's just Stoke keeping a hold of the ball and desperate not to give Portsmouth a way back in.

Coventry need to get the ball and see these last few minutes out.

Coventry have been passive for the last few minutes.

There's five minutes of added time to play at Portman.

Ipswich may be in a great position as it stands but it'll feel like a long time for both teams.

And it's Steven Nzonzi who's brought on in the dying period of this game. The 36-year-old replaces Ben Pearson.

The hosts have their hands on the throttle now.

Three times they have gone on the fast break, leaving the Albion defence scrambling to try and save face.

They haven't poked through yet but this is a very edgy end for the away fans to have to sit through.

That is the third tragic mistake that West Brom have made, and are giving away chances.

It is 1-0 but it could easily be 3-0 to Ipswich.

Innovative stuff from Imran Louza who is way beyond the back post when he meets a curling cross from the right with a leaping backheel, which calls Carl Rushworth into action at his near post.

City's Liam Kitching has gone into the book for a foul on Vivaldo Semedo in midfield while Rocco Vata has been replaced by Tom Ince for Watford for the final five minutes and change.

Rushworth has also been called into action to deny Nestory Irankundu's drive from outside the box as the 10-man Hornets continue to throw caution to the wind on the counter.

Five minutes to go and Portsmouth's Josh Murphy is taking issue with Million Manhoef and how long he's taking to do his boot laces after a pause in play.

I'm not saying he's taking a while on purpose but he might be.

For much of this second half Watford have had all 10 players within 30 yards of their own goal but whenever they get hold of the ball they fly out of the blocks.

Milan van Ewijk has been withdrawn by Frank Lampard with Kaine Kesler-Hayden a like-for-like replacement on that right flank.

Stoke defender Aaron Cresswell approaches the halfway line with the ball and the crowd begin to egg him on to shoot, so he does.

The ball lands in the back row.

Some fans just wanted to hold the football, I reckon.

Aune Heggebo and Ousmane Diakite have ran their races as Albion boss Ryan Mason brings on Josh Maja and Callum Styles.

Ipswich are on top in this game at the moment, there is still time to find a goal.

If they get a goal now, surely it will be the winner?

Stoke City win themselves a free-kick after a foul by Terry Devlin.

Aaron Cresswell crosses it in and Ben Wilmot seems surprised to have been given to the opportunity to head the ball goal ward...he fumbles it wide.

Milan van Ewijk has his name taken by Dean Whitestone after a cynical lunge on the begloved Rocco Vata as he tries to break away in midfield.

The kind of cheap caution which will frustrate Frank Lampard - that's a fifth of the young season and the full-back will now miss the trip to Wrexham next Friday night.

Here's some Ipswich changes that might - might! - liven things up.

George Hirst and Jack Taylor are off.

On comes Jens Cajuste and Ivan Azon.

Haji Wright and Ephron Mason-Clarke are withdrawn by Frank Lampard with Ellis Simms coming on along with Josh Eccles.

Simms has been very good of late, despite his limited role with all City's big-guns fit and firing.

Pompey need to get to get the ball moving now.

They've been the better team in this second half pinning Stoke back for such a long time, and now that effort has been spoiled.
