    The home fans are making all the noise now, desperately urging their team to hold on.

    They snatch the ball and Liam Kelly looks for a rare break, but Fulham stop him in his tracks.

    The fourth official has indicated five minutes of added time.

    Fulham still have time! They need a goal to force extra-time.

    Flintworks: aargh! conflicted! Love @ReadingFC, external but hate the Premiership! Championship is by far the best of the English leagues. 

    Julian Human: listening to @TimDellor, external working from my office in Manhattan. 1-0, 7 mins to go. why only 22k at the madstad though? urzzzz 

    Robert Green:  With more possession and shots on Reading, I'm praying Fulham will pull a goal out of the proverbial hat

    So many emotions... A quick look at the stats and Fulham have controlled 55% of possession, taken 14 corners, taken 17 shots, of which six have been on target. On effort and chances, they have done enough to win the game... But at 1-0 down.

    Yann Kermorgant goes off, to a standing ovation. He waves his arms, whipping up the home crowd.

    Has his penalty sent Reading to Wembley?

    Joseph Mendes comes on.

    The visitors win another corner. This time it goes deep to the far past, but the bounce is awkward for Sone Aluko and he can't keep it in.

    Fulham's final ball is just letting them down a touch at the moment. The clock is running towards the 90...

    The Reading defence is being thoroughly tested here. They've got 10 men behind the ball.

    Ryan Sessegnon wins Fulham a corner down their left. It comes in dangerously but Reading head it away.

    Grant: These play-offs have been just awful for @FulhamFC, external. Denied Pens in both games and awful reffing in the first leg.

    Fulham fans, do you have that aggrieved sort of feeling right now?

    Whichever side of the fence you are on tonight, get in touch and share those emotions. Let it off your chest.

    Fulham are facing a fourth consecutive year in the Championship if they can't find a goal in the next nine minutes or in stoppage time.

    What a tense finale to both these two sides' seasons.

    Is there another moment in this game where either a clumsy mistake or a wonder effort makes the difference?

    Fulham, for all their energy and will coming forward, just don't appear to be getting the bounce of the ball when it matters.

    Reading look capable of springing a chance on the break as well, so when will Fulham go all out and abandon their shape at the back?

    Some fingernails are definitely being bitten in the home seats.

    Daniel 'Danzo' Kerry:  This is tough being a Reading fan watching the BBC live feed, whilst trying to 'work' in Canada  

    My word. Being a fan of either one of these two sides tonight would be heart-pounding stuff.

    It looked like it was 1-1 for all the world, but Al Habsi gets finger tips on it.

    What a chance for Fulham, what a save by Ali Al Habsi.

    Reading 1-0 Fulham

    Chris Martin tries to poke home from close range but Reading keeper Ali Al Habsi is there again, this time to smother the ball at Martin's feet. A brave save.

  17. GREAT SAVE!published at 78 mins

    Reading 1-0 Fulham

    What a save! Ali Al Habsi keeps Reading ahead.

    Sone Aluko's skill gets himself to the byline. He cuts it back for Kevin McDonald, who goes to place his shot into the roof of the net, but the keeper makes a superb stop.

    Joe Davey: Clear penalty? I suppose we're overlooking the fact Kermorgant punched the ball before Kalas handled?

    Well, a look at the super slow motion replays and with a few screen grabs and you have a debate on your hands. 

    What do we reckon then, penalty or no penalty? Let us know which side of the fence you're sitting via #bbcefl on Twitter.

    I can probably guess how this fella would be using our trusty hashtag...

    Reading 1-0 Fulham

    Long-serving Reading man Liam Kelly comes on for John Swift.

    Swift, remember, should have made it 2-0 earlier, but inexplicably missed from inside the six-yard box. He'll now be praying that miss doesn't prove costly for his side.

  20. SUBSTITUTION (Fulham)published at 73 mins

    Reading 1-0 Fulham

    Still trailing, Fulham make their third and final change. They're going for it!

    Chris Martin is on, with Scott Malone going off.
