SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 56 mins
Hull City 0-2 Birmingham City
The home side make their first change and it's skipper Jacob Greaves making way for Randell Williams.
That'll mean a change of shape I'd imagine.

How close was that to 3-0?!
A corner drops for Krystian Bielik on the edge of the area and the Pole makes great connection with the bouncing ball but it just skims the outside of the upright (which is now thankfully the correct size) as it goes wide.

Dogukan Sinik is in the book for a rash attempted tackle on Juninho Bacuna.

That's a first league goal of the season for Curacao international Juninho Bacuna.
He's playing in a slightly unfamiliar right wing-back position today and has cut a pretty unhappy figure a few times when things haven't quite gone as he wanted but my word, that was some strike.

Former Hull City defender on BBC Radio HumbersideIf that had been a Hull goal I'd say 'what a fantastic strike'.
It is an absolutely fantastic strike, but no-one gets tight enough.
I wouldn't say it was right in the corner, could Nathan Baxter have done better with it?

Juninho Bacuna (47 mins)
Image source, Rex FeaturesThat's superb.
Tahith Chong hits a quality crossfield pass from left to right for Juninho Bacuna.
He controls it well and then unleashes a rocket from about 25 yards out that flies past Nathan Baxter in the home goal.

Can Hull find a way back into this or with Blues continue their good form?
Leeds v Arsenal also experiences delaypublished at 16:20 British Summer Time 16 October 2022
Image source, Getty ImagesThis isn't the only game in English football today to have experienced a bizarre delay.
Leeds United's Premier League game against Arsenal was halted after 23 seconds of play because of a power cut at Elland Road.
Referee Chris Kavanagh lost communication with the video assistant referee officials.
Goalline technology was down too.
The two sets of players off the pitch after a wait of around 12 minutes, with the game running 40 minutes late.

HT: Hull City 0-1 Birmingham City
Peter Swan
Former Hull City defender on BBC Radio HumbersideI think Birmingham look well-organised, well-disciplined and well-drilled.
But there is a weakness in them if you have the pace to get around or through them.
I don't think that was a bad performance against a good Birmingham team - Hull have created opportunities, they just need to keep plodding away.
HALF-TIMEpublished at 16:10 British Summer Time 16 October 2022
Hull City 0-1 Birmingham City
Image source, Getty ImagesThere's the whistle for the break.
The away side lead thanks to Troy Deeney's ferociously hit penalty after Krystian Bielik was pulled down in the area at a corner.
Hull have probably shaded things either side of the goal but John Ruddy in the Blues goal made a super save to deny Cyrus Christie's header.
If you're just joining us and wondering why the game was delayed ell, it turned out the goals weren't the right height so they had to be pulled out and sawn down.
Anyway, 1-0 to Blues at half-time.

His side made the brighter start to this game before falling behind to a Troy Deeney penalty.
Since then they've probably shaded things but it looks like they'll trail at the break.

End to end now.
Cyrus Christie plays a one-two and progresses into the Birmingham area but they get enough bodies in the way to force him into a rushed finish that goes wide.

Ah, Blues striker Troy Deeney is not a happy boy.
Juninho Bacuna does well to burst inside down the right and Deeney is breaking his neck to get free in the middle but the former Huddersfield man goes for a very elaborate curled, lobbed finish for the far corner...
It does not go in.

They literally had to saw them down to make them the right size!
