    Curtis Davies (90+1 mins)

    WOW!!!

    What an incredible finish to this match!

    Curtis Davies with the equaliser for Derby with a superb header that any striker would be proud of.

    Up from the back and left up there as a makeshift striker, he powers it home from Nathan Byrne's belter of a cross from the right and the travelling support behind that goal go delirious!

    Reading 2-1 Derby

    Mamadi Camara comes on for John Swift for the closing moments.

    Femi Azeez then breaks clear on the counter down Reading's right and shoots and for a second, looks to have found the back of the net, but the ripple is actually the ball bouncing off the advertising boards behind the posts.

    Paul Digby heads goalbound to try and force a late Cambridge winner but Portsmouth deal with the danger.

    Colin Kazim-Richards (86 mins)

    Well now.....

    Could we have a late twist here?

    Derby finally claw a goal back as Colin Kazim-Richards comes off the bench to score for a third successive match.

    Luke Southwood gets it all wrong with the cross in from the right and Kazim-Richards does enough to put him off and then finally force it over the line.

    Is Ryan Lowe leading his side to a comeback win in his first away game in charge of the Lilywhites?

    Reading 2-0 Derby

    Ravel Morrison has a go once again for Derby from range.

    This time it was always swinging wide right of the goal but Reading just seem to be inviting this pressure on to themselves a bit.

    Reading 2-0 Derby

    Bit of panic and pinball in Reading's box almost leads to a goal back for Derby.

    Festy Ebosele got away down the left and made a driving run before over-running the ball.

    But the deflections nearly saw it bounce past Luke Southwood.

    He then has to make a good low save after Ravel Morrison slips while shooting from outside the box but still gets a low effort on target.

    15 minutes to play.

    A succession of substituions from Stoke as they look to work something out of this game late on against Preston.

    Just under 20 minutes remain, will we see more goals before the final whistle?

    Reading 2-0 Derby

    Phil Jagielka being patched up after another aerial battle with Andy Carroll that saw him take a bit of an accidental whack to the forehead.

    A real throwback encounter that between the two former England internationals.

    Reading 2-0 Derby

    Ryan Allsop appears to have been the end recipient of that piece of paper Ravel Morrison brought on.

    He gives it a read and then does stick it between sock and shin pad!
