    Gary Madine backed into Shane Duffy, he used his strength, controlled the ball on his chest and set himself for the perfect volley. It was a brilliant finish from Madine.

    Bolton 1-0 Blackburn

    What a stunning goal from Gary Madine!

    Another long throw from Bolton as Dean Moxey launches it in and Madine controls it up on his chest and then in one movement spins around to prod it home.

    His fourth goal of the season but could the Wanderers be heading into 2016 with a second win of the campaign?

    You don't expect this with Blackburn chasing a winner.

    Rovers top scorer Jordan Rhodes is taken off and Tom Lawrence replaces him.

    Zach Clough has again looked the brightest spark for Bolton today.

    He smartly turns on the halfway line but Shane Duffy hacks him down and is the latest player to be shown a yellow card.

    Both teams preparing substitutions...

  5. Bolton 0-0 Blackburnpublished at 73 mins

    Zach Clough and Gary Madine combining well for Bolton inside the opposition area but Madine's left-footed strike is really weak and is easily gobbled up by Jason Steele.

    Bolton are the lowest scorers in the Championship this season with 18 goals in 24 games... so far.

    Ben Marshall with an excellent drive down the left wing before putting up a cross to attack.

    Bolton keeper Ben Amos comes to gather but spill under pressure, however his defenders help him clear upfield.

  7. Bolton 0-0 Blackburnpublished at 69 mins

    Blackburn have looked dangerous from a couple of set pieces this afternoon. 

    A corner this time and Shane Duffy is put under pressure to head over the Bolton bar.

    Bolton have really got an alternative weapon from their full-backs as Dean Moxey joins Rob Holding in chucking in a long throw.

    As Blackburn heads it out, Zach Clough cannot get his strike through the laces and it loops up and over.

    Blackburn are the side providing the attacking threat going forward, but Bolton are still showing great energy.

  10. Bolton 0-0 Blackburnpublished at 65 mins

    More Blackburn pressure and after Ben Marshall's shot is blocked it falls to left-back Marcus Olsson.

    His clean strike though is only a yard away from Ben Amos and the former Manchester United trainee gathers calmly.

    The tempo of the first half has reared its head and we've got a really good game here, Gary Madine heading over a right wing cross now for the hosts.

    Off the pitch, former Bolton striker Dean Holdsworth's at the Macron Stadium today. He's reportedly leading a consortium to buy the Wanderers who are £172.9m in debt.

    We're back under way in League One at Roots Hall where Millwall lead Southend 3-0.

    At the other end Zach Clough gets himself running at the last Blackburn defender.

    He drops a couple of shoulders to try and work a yard of space but is forced to shift the ball onto his weaker left foot and it's a tame effort into the side netting.

    It's been all Rovers for the past couple of minutes. 

    Craig Conway and Doneil Henry combine well down the right again but after a couple of crosses it falls to Hope Akpan who smashes over.

  15. CLOSE!published at 56 mins

    Bolton 0-0 Blackburn

    Shane Duffy with Blackburn's best effort of the game.

    After Dean Moxey is booked for his sliding challenge on Craig Conway, the Blackburn winger gets up to curl the ball into the box and finds the glancing head of Duffy but it goes a couple of yards wide.

    I felt there was a foul much earlier than when Mark Davies went over. He was pulled back but then decided to fall over without much contact. The referee should have seen the initial tug on his shirt.

    Nearly a comedy of errors between Bolton pair Ben Amos and Prince Gouano.

    Gouano tries to just hold off the advancing Blackburn attackers and as Amos runs out to smash the ball clear it goes straight into Prince but out into touch.

    Moments later, Hope Akpan joins Mark Davies in the book for scything down Josh Vela. No doubt about that one.

  19. YELLOW CARDpublished at 52 mins

    Bolton 0-0 Blackburn

    Mark Davies is the first to go in the book in the Lancashire derby. 

    He takes a backheel into the box, his touch is heavy and then with two players going down he collapses a little too easy for the referee and is booked from simulation.

    We're yet to break into some of the free flowing football of the first half.

    Bolton enjoying the majority of possession the opening stages of this 45 minutes though.
