That's it... Sunderland scrape their way to a hard-earned point but still slip into the bottom three thanks to Leicester's win at Burnley.
And it goes out of play before reaching the box. What a waste by Gomez. Safe to say Wee Dick is raging on the touchline.
Big header by Ryan Shawcross, beating Jordi Gomez to a Billy Jones free-kick. Now for the corner...
Oooft! Lee Cattermole drags a shot wide for Sunderland. We might still get a winner here.
We're getting another four minutes of this...
Phil Bardsley replaces Geoff Cameron for Stoke.
Sunderland's Costel Pantilimon has to use all of his 6ft 8in frame to claw a Charlie Adam 25-yarder past an upright.
Jermain Defoe slithers a tame shot wide from the edge of the area as Sunderland search for a winner. The danger is they get caught on the counter and end up with nothing...
Another crucial block, this time Sunderland's Sebastian Coates slides in to deny Peter Crouch.
Eric Pieters steals in to prod out for a corner as Sunderland's Connor Wickham shapes to shoot from a promising position.
Lovely reception for Stoke's Peter Odemwingie as he comes on for his first appearance since suffering a serious knee injury in August. Jon Walters is the man making for the showers.
Now Billy Jones goes into Martin Atkinson's book, the full-back being punished for grapping with Marko Arnautovic.
Thomas Hewitt: I still think Sunderland, Newcastle & Middlesborough could all be playing in the same league next year... The Championship!
Sunderland players are throwing themselves in front of shots with admirable abandon here but they are dropping deeper and deeper towards their own goal.
Can they make it two draws from seven?
That's the end of Mame Biram Diouf's afternoon, with Peter Crouch loping on for the last 18 minutes or so.
Costel Pantilimon makes a crucial intervention to block from Mame Biram Diouf, who chested down Charlie Adam's free-kick and shot from little more than four yards out.
Let's talk hypothetically for a moment... Leicester are ahead at Burnley, which means that, as it stands, Sunderland have slipped into the bottom three.
I've been watching Charlie Adam since he was on loan at Ross County from Rangers in 2004 and rarely have I seen him more influential than this. The Stoke midfielder has been less of a goal threat this half, instead focusing on spearing sensational long passes from deep.
