    Time for a brew? They've both probed - it's not been a dud!

    Danny Ings has taken a knock on the head from the wrist/elbow/arm of Ryan Shawcross. But he's picked himself up. He's okay.

    Four Burnley shots on target to Stoke's one. It's not been without goalmouth action. One minute of added time...

  4. BAD MISS FROM DIOUF!published at 15:42 British Summer Time 16 May 2015

    Maybe that's why he's doing so much in defence. Stoke break quickly, Adam leading the charge, feeding Walters on the right wing, a perfectly-whipped cross lands on Diouf's head, but - with goal gaping and time to pick his spot - he can only head wide. I say 'head', though he barely made contact.

    Not many goals around the grounds and - obviously - no break in the deadlock here. It is not the most tense stalemate I've ever seen, but it is competitive. Matt Taylor probing for Burnley... to no avail. Mame Biram Diouf doing a lot of defensive work for Stoke.

    What is impressive about Danny Ings is his intelligent dropping off and link-up play. Always makes himself available and likes to get on the ball. Maybe he could cut it in Spain (David Moyes is rumoured to be interested in taking him to Real Sociedad)?

    Jonathan Walters will be kicking himself there. Charlie Adam drifts a lovely ball into the box and Walters is unmarked... but he heads straight into the arms of Burnley keeper Tom Heaton. The crowd stayed quiet there but those behind the goal will know that was a lucky escape.

  8. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:28 British Summer Time 16 May 2015

    Mame Biram Diouf gets a yellow card just before Charlie Adam launches a wild shot from 35 yards into row H. I like to be accurate - row Z would be an exaggeration. Worth a pop, though.

    The hosts, with the crowd right behind them, are pressing so quickly every time Stoke are in possession. Ah - there we go: Charlie Adam has the ball nicked from his toes...

    Ings skids in a low shot from 20 yards but Butland is equal to it.

  11. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:16 British Summer Time 16 May 2015

    Great block by Jack Butland from Danny Ings, who looks odds-on to score from close range! The young England keeper stands up straight until the very last minute, and then sweeps up the danger from a subsequent melee.

    Getting a bit scrappy now with fouls aplenty. Ryan Shawcross clatters through the back of Ashley Barnes and Burnley have a free-kick in a decent position; it's floated in towards the back post - bit of head tennis - but Diouf volleys away into the Lancashire sky.

  13. Postpublished at 15:08 British Summer Time 16 May 2015

    ...Charlie Adam moved the ball to the outside of the box, where Whelan was lurking, but a Burnley head averts the danger.

  14. Postpublished at 15:07 British Summer Time 16 May 2015

    Tripper swings in a corner for Burnley but Stoke front man Mame Biram Diouf heads clear at the front post. Settling into this one now after that early burst. Stoke with a corner...

  15. Postpublished at 15:04 British Summer Time 16 May 2015

    A posse of Stoke defenders falling over themselves to stop Ings who, cutting in from the left wing, makes his way into the box brilliantly... before slightly shinning a shot at Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland. Strong start.

  16. KICK-OFFpublished at 15:01 British Summer Time 16 May 2015

    We're off at Turf Moor. Like I said, hold on to your hats...

  17. Postpublished at 15:00 British Summer Time 16 May 2015

    By scoring the winner against Hull last week, Danny Ings became the first Burnley player to reach double figures (in terms of goals) in the top flight since 1976. So he is a local legend, that's for sure.

    Without being patronising, the atmosphere at Turf Moor seems celebratory rather than subdued. The team have given it everything this season and manager Sean Dyche can be proud of the energy and guts of his small squad. Agree with that?

  19. Postpublished at 14:47 British Summer Time 16 May 2015

    Fair play to Stoke boss Mark Hughes - he's getting the best out of his squad and keeping some big, talented names on the bench...

    Subs: Begovic, Ireland, Odemwingie, Wilson, Sidwell, Crouch, Wollscheid.

    Peters Crouch and Odemwingie are match winners on their day, and Stephen Ireland can still unleash a killer pass from time to time.

    The Fleetwood Mac classic blares out of the Turf Moor PA, and might perhaps be food for thought for Danny Ings.

    Should he move, where do you think he might be best suited to pull on his boots next season?

    I read that David Moyes would love to lure him to Spain...
