    Blackburn 2-1 West Brom

    It's all West Brom at the moment - they have a free-kick which they'll put into the area.

    Jed Wallace takes it, it takes a deflection and goes out for a corner.

    Wallace takes the corner but Rovers deal with it as Ash Phillips goes down in the area holding his face. 25 minutes to go.

    With Callum Brittain coming off West Brom seem to be targeting Blackburn's right-hand side at the minute.

    A corner comes into the area and Rovers can't clear it as a player goes down.

    The referee doesn't stop the play, it finds Grady Diangana on the edge of the box, who shows good feet before a wicked deflection from his shot wrong-foots Thomas Kaminski in the Rovers goal.

    Blackburn 2-0 West Brom

    The Baggies are starting to put a bit of pressure on Rovers now.

    But Blackburn are defending well with 12 minutes gone in the second period.

    Blackburn 2-0 West Brom

    Tyler Morton has had a decent start to this second half having come on as a substitute during the break.

    He had a hand in the build-up to the second goal and the Liverpool loanee had just put in a dominant tackle in midfield.

    Ben Brereton Diaz cuts in from the left again on to his right foot, but he shoots wide of the target - 52 gone at Ewood Park.

    What do West Brom do now?

    Still yet to get a win this season after two draws, can they get back into this match now?

    What a start for Rovers!

    Nimble feet by Ben Brereton Diaz to get around the full back down the left and get to the edge of the box.

    The Chile striker, who got the opener, then lays on a great pass across the 18-yard line to Sam Gallagher who side-foots it into the bottom right-hand corner from the edge of the box.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:05 British Summer Time 14 August 2022

    Blackburn 1-0 West Brom

    Big blow for Blackburn as Callum Brittain has been forced off with injury.

    Liverpool loanee Tyler Morton comes on in his place and John Buckley moves into the defence.

  11. KICK-OFFpublished at 16:03 British Summer Time 14 August 2022

    Blackburn 1-0 West Brom

    The second half is under way. Rovers are 45 minutes from going two points clear at the top of the league.

    Will it stay that way, or can Steve Bruce's men get a bonus with a goal?

    Some game this.

    Sander Berge gave the home side a very early lead only for Chuba Akpom to level for the home side.

    Ryan Giles slashed a cross into his own goal to put the Blades in front again but Akpom headed in for his and Boro's second.

    Duncan Watmore hit the post late on for the home side, who remain without a win so far this season.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:58 British Summer Time 14 August 2022

    Middlesbrough 2-2 Sheff Utd

    Boro striker Chuba Akpom limps to the sidelines and Matthew Hoppe is on for a very brief debut.

    Big applause for the two-goal man.

    Was that the chance?!

    Darragh Lenihan heads it down from a corner and Wes Foderingham in the Blades goal turns it over the crossbar.

    What does Blackburn Rovers boss Jon Dahl Tomasson do in the second half?

    His side have contained West Brom and got a goal with their first shot.

    Do they go chasing a second or try and conserve energy on a scorching day?

  16. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:52 British Summer Time 14 August 2022

    Middlesbrough 2-2 Sheff Utd

    John Fleck is booked for the visitors for a pretty, pretty cynical foul to thwart a Boro counter.

    SEVEN minutes of time added on.

    Loads of time for someone to find a winner in this.

    It's two good teams matching each other up trying to create chances.

    West Brom have had the upper hand without creating too much and Blackburn sneak it.

    It's the only time Blackburn have had a shot on target but it's in the back of the net.

  19. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:48 British Summer Time 14 August 2022

    OOFT!

    Boro forward Duncan Watmore smashes a shot against the post from Ryan Giles's low cross.

    Having been second best for much of the half it's Rovers that go into the break in the lead.

    Ben Brereton Diaz's curling strike from just outside the area is the difference between the sides.
