Into THREE added minutes, though it might end up being four or more after that red card and sub delay.

Mamadou Doumbia has just gone into the book for dissent after conceding a free-kick for a clumsy aerial challenge on Matt Grimes in midfield.

Half-time can't come soon enough for Watford.

Deadlocked at Portman Road.

Ipswich were firmly in control at the start of the half, with Jaden Philogene's strike needing intervention from the Baggies stopper to prevent a quick opener.

But West Bromwich kept up the barricade and have now found their feet to start to apply pressure of their own.

Could spell some further problems for the already troubled Tractor Boys...

There's an additional two minutes.

West Bromwich Albion boss Ryan Mason will be pleased to see his side weather the storm, Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna much less so.

Whenever a keeper comes storming off his line, you can't help but hold your breath.

It's not a particularly simple one for Ipswich stopper Christian Walton, whose making his 100th appearance for the side this afternoon, to deal with not too many metres past the halfway line but he just about makes do.

Good job too because it could have been a real problem had he let it slip into Baggies feet.

Stoke forward Million Mahoef creates some space at the edge of the Portsmouth box and has Connor Ogilvie on the back foot.

He cuts onto his right foot but fires into the side netting.

What value for money it is if you come to a Covenrty game this season.

They have got themselves into a wonderful position, but it has been attack from both sides.

The Coventry attack has been potent.

From bad to worse...

Watford are at sixes and sevens at the back and they might end up conceding that many at this rate.

Haji Wright drives down the left towards the box and 21-year-old James Abankwah slides in to try and win the ball, misses it, gets all of Wright inches outside the penalty area and that's a straight red for denial of a goalscoring opportunity. His torrid afternoon is over.

Moussa Sissoko is sacrificed by Javi Gracia with Matty Pollock coming off the bench to shore up the defence.

Best of luck, Matty.

Stoke's Sorba Thomas does a really good job to wriggle through a crowded Portsmouth penalty area and just as he leaves it is hauled down by Marlon Pack.

Pack is booked for the challenge.

Another devastating counterattack from Watford from a Coventry corner sends Rocco Vata through on the right, driving into the box before lashing an angled strike high and wide of the near post.

This has been an incredible advert for the madness of the Championship.

Albion have finally kicked into life.

They enjoy a spell of possession that leads to Ousmane Diakite drilling a low ball towards Samuel Iling-Junior.

It's a little beyond the winger but he's still able to salvage it, cutting it back to Charlie Taylor to redistribute into the box.

The delivery is not great though and straight into the Tractor Boys stopper's gloves.

A so-far-absent Colby Bishop clatters into the shoulder of Stoke defender Ashley Phillips and falls to the ground like a sack of spuds.

Don't worry, he's fine.

He tries to win a free kick, but only wins a few mocking chants from the crowd. I shall not repeat them but you can imagine they weren't kind.

This is a ridiculous game. So open.

Carl Rushworth flies off his line to block with his legs from Rocco Vata who was in acres of space on the edge of the City box.

Moments before Milan van Ewijk had gone on a barnstorming run from midfield down the left but rifled an angled drive inches past the base of the far post.

It genuinely could be 5-4 already.

Bobby Thomas' turn to put in a vital block after Rocco Vata was picked out by a pull-back from Kwadwo Baah on the right.

Edo Kayembe then wins the ball back and unleashes a 20-yard rocket which Carl Rushworth tips round the post with his fingertips.

Watford might have had a couple already.

We have our first card of the match as Makenzie Kirk is booked for kicking the ball way after Stoke attempt to restart play.

The referee was not having any of it.

Albion's Charlie Taylor tumbles in the box as he goes for a delivery at the back post.

He's got his hands up immediately for a penalty shout but the referee is having none of it. Went down a little to easily from his perspective.

West Bromwich Albion are holding out here.

But it's generally not a good sign when your strikers touches have been mostly in the defensive half.

Coventry are by no means having things their own way, Watford are getting some joy, particularly from Mamadou Doumbia floating from flank to flank in the final third, but they have failed to create any chances from their handful of set-pieces, which will irk Javi Gracia no end.

There is some good play from Ipswich here, with the link up play between Leif Davis and Jaden Philogene.

However, the collective defending from West Brom has been really good.
