Hull make their third and final change - Herbie Kane on for Jackson Irvine.

The visitors come close to a fifth, Benrahma bending over from inside the D as he searches for his hat-trick.

George Honeyman gets into a decent position on the corner of the six-yard box but thrashes the ball out for a throw-in.

That pretty much sums up Hull's attacking output this afternoon.

I'm stating the obvious but they're badly missing the craft of Jarrod Bowen and Kamil Grosicki.

Brentford have Hull penned in here, Bryan Mbeumo ghosting in and volleying over as the Bees threaten to pull further ahead.

It feels like the visitors have been in full control without really having to get out of second gear...

The Hull fans become restless as George Honeyman opts to turn back on the ball - but he had very few options ahead of him and wins a free-kick.

From the set-piece, Ryan Tafazolli forces a terrific save from David Raya but was offside anyway.

Mathias Jensen's corner is wildly overhit - not for the first time - and Hull escape.

If the score stays like it is Hull will have lost five consecutive games for the first time since April 2012, under Nicky Barmby.

How long will it be until Hull turn to the likes of Tom Eaves, Marcus Maddison and Herbie Kane on their bench?

Brentford have regained some composure after being on the back foot in the opening minutes since half-time, and have a corner.

The hosts have shown more in the first 90 seconds of this second half than they did in the entire opening 45 minutes.

This time Keane Lewis-Potter gets down the left, his cross towards Josh Magennis cut out by Brentford keeper David Raya.

Grant McCann has clearly given his players a lambasting and the early signs are it's working.

We're back up and running at the KCOM Stadium after an error-strewn first half.

I imagine Grant McCann might've given his Hull players the 'hairdryer treatment', while his opposite number Thomas Frank will still be looking for much more from his dominant Brentford side.

Do we want to see more mistakes or a better level of quality in the second half?

Cardiff and Reading settled for a point apiece in a game that did little to boost either club's hopes of reaching the Championship play-off spots.

In the second installment of a trilogy of games between the two sides in a nine-day period, the Royals took an early lead through Yakou Meite's header.

Cardiff equalised in the second period when Callum Paterson cracked the ball home from close-range after Reading failed to clear their lines from a long-throw.

Wayne Rooney curled home a sublime free-kick to score for the second game running as dominant Derby ended Stoke's recent Championship resurgence with an emphatic win.

The ex-England captain found the top corner from 20 yards to beat former international team-mate Jack Butland for the Rams' third goal - and his first at Pride Park - midway through the second half.

Martyn Waghorn's header and Chris Martin's fierce strike had put Derby in control, with full-back Jayden Bogle's superb 25-yard strike rounding off the rout.

While we pause for breath at the KCOM, then, now seems a good opportunity to round up everything you might've missed last night.

No, not transfer deadline day, but two Championship games...

Very little atmosphere, not a great deal of quality, but a few laughs along the way.

Hull have been very bad while Brentford could've been 4-0 up despite not being at their best.

A Said Benrahma strike and Reece Burke own goal had the Bees two up before David Raya let Ryan Tafazolli's clearance through him to give the hosts a lifeline.

Two added minutes at the end of this first half.

Hull on the attack...

It's Said Benrahma, and it hits the wall.

I can't remember ever seeing a game at this level which has been so, so weird.

It's hard to explain, really.

Play is back under way.

Brentford's Ollie Watkins shows skill and strength to win a free-kick just outside the box, which he may well take himself.

We have a break in play as Hull's Stephen Kingsley is down after a coming-together with Said Benrahma off the ball.

Replays suggest a stray elbow may have been involved. Benrahma is a lucky boy.
