What an exciting player Jarrod Bowen is! He takes the ball out of the sky with a brilliant touch, tortures Marcos Alonso with a driving run which leaves the left-back in his wake, he gets to the edge of the area and under immense pressure fires in a shot over the bar.

Hull snapping in to everything as the honey monster in midfield wins the ball back well. We are approaching the hour mark, time for Kamil Grosicki?

Chelsea have gone a little bit soft. They're losing tackles, getting put on the ground.

Hull win two corners, Michy Batshuayi has to defend manfully at the near post, but Chelsea do defend and defend well. The Premier League side are up against it here.

Corner ball again!

Good tempo and zip from Hull now as Robbie McKenzie steps in and takes Pedro down with a great challenge. The crowd enjoyed that one.

Hull looking better - but still, Willy Caballero hasn't had to do much in the Chelsea net.

Good half-time I think, from Grant McCann, he's said the right things to his players. They've got the shackles off and they're really going at Chelsea. Chelsea have looked uncomfortable when the ball has come into the box, especially at pace.

Quality from Jarrod Bowen again, beats Marcos Alonso with ease to win a corner. Hull have started the half well.

Herbie Kane lines up the free-kick but it's never going to threaten. Kane was very impressive when playing for that young Liverpool side at Villa just before Christmas.

A lovely flick finds Jarrod Bowen in a lane to run at the Chelsea defence, he's flying so Mateo Kovacic slides in from the side and takes him down. Booked.

Under way!

Some young Hull fans line the entrance of the tunnel eager to get a high-five from Ross Barkley. Someone have a word!

Here we go then.

Hull's Jarrod Bowen fired in more shots (4) and attempted more dribbles (4) than any other player in the first half.

Chelsea

Chelsea have lost none of their last 27 games in all competitions when leading at half time (W21 D6) since a 2-1 defeat against Wolves in the Premier League back in December 2018.

After conceding early, to go in at half-time 1-0, Grant McCann will be absolutely delighted. Maybe think about Kamil Grosicki coming on because I'm telling you, he'll cause problems behind Cesar Azpilicueta. They've recovered well - there was a spell where Chelsea were just sublime, but then they got sloppy.

Hull have got a foot in this game.

Plenty of work to be done but the hat is looking like this:

Sheffield Wednesday

Northampton/Derby

Leicester

Norwich

Coventry/Birmingham

Sheffield United

Newcastle/Oxford

Portsmouth

Reading/Cardiff

Southampton/Tottenham

West Brom

Hull/Chelsea

Manchester City/Fulham (Sunday)

Tranmere/Manchester United (Sunday)

Shrewsbury/Liverpool (Sunday)

Bournemouth/Arsenal (Monday)

It's another good save from George Long, Cesar Azpilicueta arrives late to take a cross from Marcos Alonso on his chest and shoot from a tight angle. It's one you'd expect Long to save but he has to be alert to push it out.

It was nil-nil but knock yourself out.
