    That was the chance for Blackburn!

    Adam Armstrong gets across his man at the near post but can only send his volley past the post.

    We're into four minutes of stoppage time.

    Can Blackburn find a late equaliser?

    Heading into the last couple of minutes.

    It's going to be seven games without a win for Blackburn and their play-off hopes look to be done and dusted.

    Reading 1-0 Blackburn

    ANOTHER chance for Blackburn.

    Ben Brereton drifts in off the left and hits a dipping 20 yarder that Rafael Cabral makes a bit of a mess of but the Royals defence get it away.

    Reading 1-0 Blackburn

    Chance for the visitors!

    The hosts half-clear a Rovers attack but the ball is recycled back out to Stewart Downing on the left and his deep cross is headed wide at the back post by skipper Darragh Lenihan.

    Ten minutes to go here.

    Reading 1-0 Blackburn

    Hmmm...

    Blackburn goalkeeper Thomas Kaminksi collects a long ball right on the edge of the area and he steps outside the area with the ball in his hands. Whether the ball goes outside the area I'm not sure but the hosts are awarded a free-kick.

    Kaminski makes a routine catch from Michael Olise's set-piece.

    Three minutes added on. We've had plenty of late drama already this evening, time for another twist?

    Luton haven't won at the City Ground for 38 years. It's backs to the wall now.

    And another Luton change as the Hatters look to run down the clock.

    James Bree replaces Harry Cornick. I make that 87 minutes.

    Reading 1-0 Blackburn

    Reading bring on Tom McIntyre for Lucas Joao and Blackburn take off Liverpool loanee Harvey Elliott for Tyrhys Dolan.

    Reading 1-0 Blackburn

    Some neat approach play involving Harvey Elliott and Bradley Dack nearly opens things up but a lucky bounce of the ball sees it land in home goalkeeper Rafael Cabral's hands.
