    There'll be at least two added minutes, before we head to a shootout, unless someone can win it.

    To remind you, neither of these sides have ever been in a Women's FA Cup final before. History awaits, for one of them.

  14. HALF-TIMEpublished at 105+3 mins

    Plenty of action in that 15 minutes, but still it remains 1-1.

  15. OFF THE LINE!published at 105+2 mins

    Reading 1-1 West Ham

    Even closer!

    A Reading player - I'm not sure who - rises highest at the far post but West Ham just about clear it off the line.

    The referee had actually blown up for a foul, which is just as well because the header may well have just about drifted in.

  16. CLOSE!published at 105+1 mins

    Reading 1-1 West Ham

    Nearly!

    Gemma Davison cuts inside and fires a low, rasping shot across goal with her left foot, but it arrows narrowly wide of the far post.

    Reading do have a corner, however...

    West Ham also make a change, with Erin Simon withdrawn for Vyan Sampson.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 102 mins
