FULL-TIME
Newport 1-2 Blackburn
All over and Newport are out as Blackburn progress to the fourth round of the FA Cup, thanks to Jordan Rhodes' winner. Oxford United await them.
RED CARD
Newport 1-2 Blackburn
Newport's night gets worse as they have goalkeeper Joe Day sent off for bringing down Craig Conway. Into the 96th minute of this game. Surely no way back for the hosts?
'Encouraging signs'
Swansea 1-0 Watford
Steve Claridge
BBC Radio 5 Live at Liberty Stadium
"There's a little bit of pressure on the ball now from a Watford perspective. It's gone from a jog to a run and all of a sudden there's a bit of pressure on the Swansea players."
Post update
Swansea 1-0 Watford
Another effort from Watford, and it is Jurado again as he runs onto a cute backheel from a team-mate on the edge of the area but once again he has got his radar all wrong, shooting well over. Better, though, from Watford.
'Watford have to be livlier'
Swansea 1-0 Watford
Ian Dennis
BBC Radio 5 live senior football reporter
"If it was to stay like this the significance of his scoreline is that Swansea City would be back out of the relegation zone. Watford have got to be livier in this half, surely."
Post update
Swansea 1-0 Watford
A positive start to the second half by Watford as Jurado cuts in from the let but shoots well wide.
Don't miss a thing...
KICK-OFF
Swansea 1-0 Watford
The second half is under way. Watford will need to up their game significantly to get back into this.

Top work Matthew Harris, the only person to get this correct on #bbcfootball.
Right, grab a strong coffee. The second half is almost upon us.

Newport 1-2 Blackburn
Oh dear! Scott Boden has a glorious chance to equalise for Newport. Free header, six yards out, but he doesn't even try and direct it, cushioning the ball wide.
Got to score those.
We can see you
Swansea 1-0 Watford
Chappers trying to sneak 40 winks in here? Hopefully the second half will be a bit more lively.
Watford have rarely attacked
Swansea 1-0 Watford
The average positions of the players in the first half shows that Swansea attacked more, though without much bite. Watford have mainly stuck inside their own half.
GOAL - Newport 1-2 Blackburn
Jordan Rhodes (75 mins)
Fifteen minutes left in this FA Cup third round game and it is advantage Blackburn as Jordan Rhodes heads in.
A reminder this is not a replay, so can Newport snatch an equaliser?

Have a go at this. It will certainly be more entertaining than talking about that half of football anyway. Send your guesses to #bbcfootball.
HALF-TIME
Swansea 1-0 Watford
Steve Claridge
BBC Radio 5 Live at Liberty Stadium
"It's a difficult one to sum up. The moments of quality have been really hard to find. At this stage, if the game continues like this Swansea will win it.Swansea have done what they've had to do."
Post update
Swansea 1-0 Watford
Ashley Williams is back up and good to go. Play continues.
Post update
Swansea 1-0 Watford
One minute of added time at the end of the first half, although it will be more than that as Ashley Williams is down on the pitch getting some treatment after taking a knock in a heavy challenge.
