Big Sam has seen enough. Wahbi Khazri and Fabio Borini are the men to make way for Dame N'Doye and Duncan Watmore

Sunderland are waiting to make that switch. They are enjoying a decent spell of pressure and Jermain Defoe has just hammered a shot over the bar.

A Sunderland change is looming too - two, actually. Dame N'Doye and Duncan Watmore are about to be unleashed.

An enforced change for Stoke. Potters scorer Marko Arnautovic came into the game with a hamstring injury and it looks like he has tweaked it again. He hobbles off, and on comes Jon Walters. Not a bad way for Arnautovic to sign off though...

Not much of a response from Sunderland since going behind. Stoke continue to look dangerous, though.

"It was a good finish but horrendous defending from Sunderland. 

"That is an enormous goal. Sunderland need to find a way back and quickly."

"Crouch has got his hands all over the back of Kaboul, then it is bad defending but for me that was a foul."

Sunderland get another chance to try out their attacking set-pieces, after Geoff Cameron blocks Yann M'Vila. Cameron heads clear when the ball comes into the box, however. Chance gone.

The Black Cats do better with their next ball forward, a free-kick chipped into the box by Deandre Yedlin. Younes Kaboul gets on the end of it but his header bounces straight at Jakob Haugaard.

Sam Allardyce is still making his way back to the dug-out as his Sunderland side launch a long ball forward. It goes straight out of play.

The sun is still shining at Britannia Stadium as Stoke get the second half under way. No changes from either side at the break.

Stoke have had the better chances, but that is not saying an awful lot...

Well, Sunderland DID have a pop at goal in the end, just not from that free-kick.

The visitors earned a corner, which was only cleared to the edge of Stoke's box. The Black Cats defender had a lot of time as he raced back to turn and shoot but didn't know it. He fell as he swivelled and his shot ended up about a mile wide.

Can Sunderland do any better this time? They have a free-kick about 40 yards out and Patrick van Aanholt is going to chip it into the Stoke box...

Stoke's crosses look more dangerous just because Peter Crouch is looking to get on the end of them. He seems to be succeeding most of the time, to be honest, but on this occasion he cannot generate the power to trouble Vito Mannone.

Sunderland are still pressing, mind, and still firing balls into the box. More hopeful than anything else, though, and Wahbi Khazri's next delivery goes straight behind for a goal-kick.

... I was trying to build excitement there. It didn't work. Wahbi Khazri's corner was easily cleared.

Sunderland are struggling to create chances in open play but they are always dangerous from set-pieces. Probably not the best idea for Stoke defender Phil Bardsley to needlessly give one away, then, with a stray header...
