    Diafra Sakho goes down in the box as he tries to get on the end of an Aaron Cresswell cross. He had hold of Wes Morgan, who also had hold of him. Referee Anthony Taylor awards a goal-kick.

    West Ham continue to have all the possession - 64% in the second half so far. They are still unable to do anything of note with it, though.

    Leicester are defending in numbers at the start of the second half. Who can blame them, with a 2-0 lead to protect.

    West Ham 0-2 Leicester

    West Ham have been poor in this first half but they should have a penalty here. Diafra Sakho goes to ground after colliding with Kasper Schmeichel as he chases a ball into the penalty area. The referee is unimpressed but Sakho was definitely caught there, even if the ball had run away from him.

    Another West Ham attack down the left, another disappointing finish. Cheikhou Kouyate clips a shot goalwards but that is never going to trouble Kasper Schmeichel.

    Aaron Cresswell down the left has been West Ham's biggest threat so far, which is not saying an awful lot. He does well again here, getting into the area before sending in a low cross that Mauro Zarate tries to spin on to, but ends up putting the ball straight out of play.

    The Leicester fans are singing Claudio Ranieri's name now, as half-time approaches. It hasn't taken him long to win them over, has it?

    West Ham's supporters are a lot more subdued, as you would expect given the way this game has gone.

    West Ham 0-2 Leicester

    West Ham's first effort on goal for, er, quite a while. A cross comes in from the left and Cheikhou Kouyate rises at the back post but cannot direct his header on target.

    West Ham 0-2 Leicester (Riyad Mahrez, 36mins)

    Questions have to be asked about the Hammers defending here, although this is a wonderful finish. Shinji Okazaki and Marc Albrighton combine on the left before Albrighton finds Riyad Mahrez running into the box to sweep home a powerful first-time finish for his third goal of the season.

    West Ham 0-1 Leicester

    Leicester continue to look more dangerous when they come forward. Angelo Ogbonna hauls back Shinji Okazaki and that's a free-kick to the Foxes about 40 yards out. Ogbonna heads clear but the Hammers remain under pressure.

    Leicester striker Jamie Vardy was this week given a "substantial" fine and ordered to undergo diversity awareness training after allegedly abusing a Japanese man in a casino.

    West Ham 0-1 Leicester

    The Foxes are coming forward in search of more goals and Marc Albrighton has just had a shot blocked from the edge of the area. The Hammers are wobbling a bit here... they have not responded well to going behind.

    West Ham 0-1 Leicester (Shinji Okazaki, 26 mins)

    Leicester went close from the corner following that Riyad Mahrez chance but they do not have to wait long to take the lead. 

    Jamie Vardy clips a lovely ball into the box from the left and although Adrian does well to keep out Shinji Okazaki's first effort on the volley, the Japanese striker reacts quickly to head the loose ball home.

    Riyad Mahrez had a daisy-cutter from distance for Leicester earlier but he has just gone a lot closer, dancing into the box, swerving a couple of challenges and eventually being denied at close range by Adrian. Unlucky.

    Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri has been stood on the edge of his technical area for the entire game, offering encouragement to his players. His West Ham counterpart Slaven Bilic has been doing the same, only 'slightly' more animated. (That's not Bilic in the picture by the way)

    West Ham 0-0 Leicester

    The Hammers are still on top in terms of possession, enjoying 66.7% of the ball so far. They are not making it count in terms of chances, though. Every time they have got behind the Leicester defence (which is twice), the flag has gone up for offside.
