Josh Coburn glances wide for Middlesbrough.

What a miss. Marek Rodak was flatfooted, and the run was excellent across the centre-half, but he could not hit the target.

Chance.

BIG change for Bournemouth. Philip Billing teases over a cross and Jordan Zemura skies his finish sliding in at the far post.

Bournemouth are probing away. But no joy for the Cherries yet.

Jamal Lowe comes on for Scott Parker's side in place of Jaidon Anthony. He's also thrown on Todd Cantwell as the promotion-chasers search for a way back into the game.

Paddy McNair rampages into the box for Boro, and Harrison Reed times his tackle for Fulham to perfection to halt the surge.

Marek Rodak has to punch a few corners away and eventually Boro fail to make the chance pay.

Albion are dropping deeper and deeper. They need to push out and get 25 yards further up the pitch.

There is a long time to go.

It's all Bournemouth at the moment. Albion are rocking a bit as they attempt to hold on to their lead.

Play has resumed.

Forest and Coventry have halted play at the City Ground because of a medical emergency in the home end.

Think we're about to go again.

West Brom have started a bit sloppy in the second half. They have to tighten up. Both of those chances came from Albion mistakes.

Bournemouth have come out all guns blazing and are pushing Albion back.

Tim Ream takes a free kick in the side of the head for Fulham, blocking a free-kick.

They are getting a test of mettle in conditions that have from crisp and fresh to soaking wet.

Better from Bournemouth. Jefferson Lerma's ball down the channel is then backheeled by Dominic Solanke into the path of Adam Smith, but the full-back's shot flies off target under pressure from Matt Clarke.

Another chance follows shortly afterwards, with Philip Billing firing over from 15 yards.

Albion go close to a third at the start of the second half, Andy Carroll prodding narrowly wide from Grady Diangana's pass.

Back under way at The Hawthorns.

Bournemouth make a change at the break, with Ryan Christie replaced by former Peterborough forward Siriki Dembele.

Andraz Sporar with a rocket, and Fulham are indebted to Marek Rodak for a big palm to save it low down.

Boro are flying. Home fans are buzzing. Rain is thumping down.

Momentum is with the hosts.

Viktor Gyokeres has been a key figure for Coventry this season, and almost helps himself to a chance but Tobias Figueiredo shuttles across to snuff it out.

Keinan Davis has just whizzed one wide for Forest. They're still up and at 'em.

First time we've seen Fulham get into their stride, with the front four all involved in a move which sees Kenny Tete ping a ball across the box and Bobby Decordova Reid couldn't get onto it at the far post.

Great build up.

What a difference three days makes. It's been a good performance.

It's been a disciplined performance from Albion, they have a shape about them and they've got the goals.

A couple of mistakes almost let Bournemouth in but, all in all, Steve Bruce will be pleased with that first-half performance.

You should not lose a 2-0 lead at home when you've played as well as Albion have done in that first half.

Joe Bryan whips in a deep cross for Fulham which sails to the back-post and Neil Taylor heads behind for a corner.

Then Tosin Adarabioyo sweeps a pass into Aleksandar Mitrovic who opts to try to bring it down rather than head it and it goes behind.

Was a good ball in.
