Tyrese Campbell has been really impressive for the Potters today.

He's got a goal to show for his efforts and he's hit the post.

The son of former Everton and West Brom striker Kevin he looks like he could follow his father and operate at a higher level.

Reading can't carve out anything out to really worry Angus Gunn in the Stoke goal.

Sub Michael Olise drifts in off the right but fires well over.

Two subs for the hosts.

Tomas Esteves and George Puscas make way for Michael Olise and Sam Baldock.

Jordan Thompson swings the Stoke free-kick into the area where Danny Batth is free but he can't direct the ball as he wants and it sails over the bar.

James McClean does really well to nip in front of Andy Yiadom and win a free-kick in a good position for Stoke.

The home team win another corner but again the Stoke defence get it away from danger.

Michael O'Neill will be delighted with how his side have dealt with the numerous set pieces that Reading have had so far in this game.

Reading continuing to look really nice on the ball but they've got to turn that into chances and goals if they're to rescue this now.

They win another corner but George Puscas can only direct his header straight at Angus Gunn.

Reading simply will not learn!

This time Andy Yiadom has his pocket picked 30 yards from goal by James McClean and he tees up Tyrese Campbell who gets inside and sees his right-footed effort come back off the post.

So close to 3-0!

The hosts straight on the front foot and full-back Tomas Esteves flashes a low shot just past the post.

Back under way and Stoke have made a change.

It's FA Cup first round day and there are two games under way.

Bradford City are making light work of non-league Tonbridge Angels as they lead 3-0 at the break.

However, it's a different case for Exeter City as they find themselves 1-0 down to National League side Fylde.

The league leaders have enjoyed more of the play but it's the visitors who have a comfortable/dangerous lead (depending on how you stand on these things) at the break.

First Tyrese Campbell was the beneficiary of a poorly directed header from Reading full-back Tomas Esteves before Steven Fletcher made the most of a poor pass out from Royals goalkeeper Rafael to make it 2-0.

We're into one minute of time added on.

The hosts have a free-kick but the Stoke backline stand up to it.

Reading pushing.

Tomas Esteves gets away from James McClean down the Reading right and his cutback is directed towards his own goal by Stoke midfielder Jordan Thompson but Harry Souttar is on hand to wallop it away.

Big chance for Reading debutant Lewis Gibson.

He gets free around the back from a Tomas Esteves free-kick but the ball is at an awkward height and ends up just hitting him.

Reading are clearly very comfortable to play out from just about anywhere as goalkeeper Rafael gives a square pass to centre half Michael Morrison right in front of the goal line.

Stoke eventually win it back around 25 yards from goal but it comes to nothing.

Reading win a free-kick about 40 yards from goal and Tomas Esteves sees Angus Gunn moving out ready to come for a cross so goes for goal instead.

It's a good strike but Gunn is alert to it and back pedals to catch with relative ease.

Omar Richards swings a wicked cross across the face of the Stoke goal but none of the Reading players gamble on it.
