    Middlesbrough 1-0 Hull

    Twenty-five minutes to go. Hull yet to have a go on target in the whole game and not really looking like doing so at the moment.

  2. Oldham keep hopes alivepublished at 21:21 Greenwich Mean Time 5 December 2016

    Lincoln 3-1 Oldham

    It's not over just yet at Sincil Bank, where Peter Clarke has headed in from Ollie Banks' corner to pull Oldham back within two goals.

    The League One side have just 20 minutes to score twice more and force a replay.

    Hull are now trying to have a more optimistic outlook with sub Jarrod Bowen lining high up on the left.

    Middlesbrough 1-0 Hull

    Tom Huddlestone and Jarrod Bowen come on for Hull, with Ryan Mason and Jake Livermore going off. Three ex-Spurs men involved. Who will be the next to swap White Hart Lane for the KCOM?

    It was a completely free header. Diomande was supposed to mark him but was ball-watching. It's typical of a striker back in his own box. Ramirez deserves that.

    Gaston Ramirez

    There we have it! Forget all your passing around, whip in a corner and Gaston Ramirez heads in against his old club. He was completely free, dreadful marking, and the Uruguayan was able to head down and in off the inside of the post.

    If you're despairing about the lack of goals on Teesside, there are plenty in tonight's FA Cup match. Theo Robinson has just scored his second to put Lincoln 3-0 up against Oldham...

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Hull

    Hull midfielder Jake Livermore trips a rapidly approaching Gaston Ramirez and he escapes a booking - he's already been booked too. It would have been a soft red card, but it could well have been one...

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Hull

    The feeling on the BBC Sport desk at lunchtime was that we could have a 0-0 tonight and the 22 men out there are doing their best to prove us right. That doesn't happen very often.

    Faster, harder, stronger start from Boro as Adam Forshaw floats a pass into the run of Gaston Ramirez and he wins a corner.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Hull

    David Marshall makes a hash of dealing with a deflection, the Hull keeper flaps at that and Alvaro Negredo wants a penalty - no chance - before Gaston Ramirez slashes a shot well wide.

    Lincoln 3-0 Oldham

    Game over?

    Lincoln fans are jubilant as Theo Robinson doubles his tally, calmly lifting the ball over Oldham keeper Connor Ripley to make it 3-0 to the non-league side.

    What, if anything, do the Latics have left to give?

    I mentioned Dean Windass earlier - he's out there doing a half-time draw of some sorts. A legend for both clubs. Maybe.

    Alvaro Negredo looks a good player when they get the ball to him. Ramirez has looked the best of the front three and Fischer comes in from the left on to his right. It's all very safe from Boro at the minute.
