    There are one or two tired legs out there now. It could be a mistake that settles it.

    Sheffield Wednesday's George Byers has options but decides to shoot himself from 25 yards and hits a man. A waste.

    Sunderland need to keep focused because Sheffield Wednesday are putting the pressure on to us. We went with a draw in our head, bad choice

    Imagine the scenes if either of these teams score a winner now. Callum Paterson commits a foul to give Sunderland a defensive free-kick.

    Totally irrelevant from the football but what a waste of money whoever that sponsor is for sheff wed. Clear as mud.

    I was thinking that as well, it's a sort of gold on blue and white stripes.

    I think there will still be one or two opportunities for Sunderland before the final whistle.

    Sheff Wed 1-0 Sunderland (agg 1-1)

    Lee Gregory has scored in each of his last five home League One appearances for Sheffield Wednesday, netting once in each game.

    He had only scored four in the other 12 home games this season.

    The last player to score in five consecutive home League One appearances for Wednesday was Gary Madine in October 2011.

    That's ramped up the pressure, raised the tempo and the crowd are raising the noise.

    It's been quite a dull game, we've been waiting for something to happen. It needed something brilliant, it needed something brave and we got it.

    Sunderland's first chance since the goal. Alex Pritchard wriggles free in the box but shoots into the side-netting. It's probably deflected behind but officials say goal-kick.

    Sheffield Wednesday bring on Callum Paterson, who was due to come on a while ago, for Josh Windass.

    This place is quite literally bouncing now! For the first time all night Barry Bannan got a pocket of space and time to measure a pass and he did not waste it. What have Sunderland, who had looked comfortable in all honesty, got now?

    There's the bit of magic we've been looking for from Barry Bannan.

    He split the defence wide open to give Johnson a run in and it just needed a bit of quality to square it to Gregory and he made no mistake.

    It was a superb pass from Bannan. Game on.

    Lee Gregory

    ALL SQUARE!!!!

    Sheffield Wednesday lead on the night and are level on aggregate.

    Marvin Johnson is played down the left by Barry Bannan and he puts in a low cross to Lee Gregory, who beats keeper Anthony Patterson to the ball and scores from six yards out.

    Sheffield Wednesday need a goal. Saido Berahino is on the bench. Will we see him soon?

    As a Charlton fan, I'm crossing my fingers for Sunderland, they deserve it this year after so many near misses. Plus I don't think they'd fancy playing us at Wembley this time next year...

    There will be a decent bit of injury time but still, Sheffield Wednesday are running out of time.
