    For a 0-0 scoreline, that was an entertaining game. It's another point closer to where Hull want to be at the end of the day, but I think a draw is a fair reflection of the game and Steve Bruce should take a lot of positives from tonight.

    FT: Hull City 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday

    Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Keiren Westwood tells Sky Sports: "It was a good game with end-to-end stuff, and I'm happy to come away with a clean sheet."

    Hull midfielder Sam Clucas: "Sheffield Wednesday are on a good run of form and they're a good team, but I think we should have got the three points tonight."

    A frustrating night for the Championship leaders, as Hull are held to a goalless draw at home by Sheffield Wednesday, who had Fernando Forestieri sent off in injury time.

    The Tigers go two points clear at the top of the table, while the Owls create a four-point cushion between themselves and seventh-placed Birmingham.

  6. HULL SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 90+2 mins

    Hull City 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday

    Ahmed Elmohamady comes on for Robert Snodgrass as Hull search for a winner against 10-man Wednesday.

    On second viewing, there looked to be a little bit of contact on Fernando Forestieri. Michael Dawson was even asking the referee to be lenient towards him for making the tackle, which could tell its own story...

  7. RED CARD (Forestieri)published at 90+1 mins

    Hull City 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday

    Some late drama at the KC Stadium, and a second red card in a week for Sheffield Wednesday forward Fernando Forestieri.

    He goes down under a lunging challenge from Michael Dawson and the referee deems he dived, before showing him a second yellow card and sending him from the field.

    Forestieri was sent off in last weekend's loss at Preston.

    Five added minutes? Where have they come from?

  9. Hull City 0-0 Sheffield Wednesdaypublished at 88 mins

    Both sides have hit the woodwork and not done a lot else - it just feels like one of those games that's got 0-0 stamped all over it.

    Easy for me to say, with a couple of minutes plus stoppage time to play, I know.

  10. YELLOW CARD (Forestieri)published at 85 mins

    Hull City 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday

    A booking for Sheffield Wednesday's Fernando Forestieri, for a little tug on the shirt of Andy Robertson.

    Hull get forward from the free-kick on halfway, but Keiren Westwood makes a comfortable save from striker Abel Hernandez.

    Chuba Akpom is desperate to be in the starting line up, but Abel Hernandez looks tired, in fact, he looks disappointed to still be on the pitch.

  12. SHEFF WED SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 83 mins

    Hull City 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday

    A change up front for the visitors. Atdhe Nuhiu is on for Gary Hooper for the last seven minutes.

  13. Hull City 0-0 Sheffield Wednesdaypublished at 81 mins

    Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Keiren Westwood comes for a right-wing cross and makes a bit of a hash of it, but blocks the follow-up shot from Abel Hernandez and the Owls clear.

    This one is destined to stay goalless.

    *Hopes this will be a live text commentator's curse.*

  14. HULL SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 79 mins

    Hull City 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday

    Sheffield Wednesday have dropped deeper and deeper in the second period. Gary Hooper looks increasingly isolated up front.

    Hull get forward again, the ball breaks to Jake Livermore 25 yards out, and he sends the ball high, wide and handsome.

    The hosts take off Mo Diame, their match-winner at Ipswich in midweek, and bring on on-loan Arsenal youngster Chuba Akpom.

    This has been a familiar sight this evening - Hull's top scorer Abel Hernandez has had little to no service up front. Nothing to work himself a serious opening in front of goal, anyway.

    Fifteen minutes to play.

  16. Hull City 0-0 Sheffield Wednesdaypublished at 73 mins

    Hull are looking slightly the more likely at the moment. They force another corner but it comes to very little, as Jake Livermore hooks a volley over the bar from 15 yards.

  17. Hull City 0-0 Sheffield Wednesdaypublished at 70 mins

    Going back to Hull substitute Nick Powell...

    I started my media career as a football commentator for BBC Radio Stoke and, for a season, I watched Powell tearing up League Two as a 17-year-old at Crewe.

    He scored some very special goals that year, not least a 20-yard volley in Crewe's play-off final win over Cheltenham at Wembley.

    True, the football public haven't seen much of that since his move to Manchester United, but the player has quality - the type of quality that can win a game from absolutely nothing. Perhaps that's what this game needs.

    A second Sheffield Wednesday substitution as Alex Lopez replaces Sam Hutchinson in midfield for the Owls.

  19. HULL HIT THE POSTpublished at 66 mins

    Hull City 0-0 Sheffield Wednesday

    It's Hull's turn to hit the woodwork, Sam Clucas striking the frame of the goal from 18 yards.

    Curtis Davies heads wide from the resulting corner.

    A goal is coming, surely.

    Hull have picked up the pace a bit. They needed to as Wednesday finished the first half a little stronger. Sam Clucas has come close this half though, but his shot lacked the precision of Mo Diame's earlier in the week.
