    Sanne Troelsgaard clatters into Fran Kirby on the edge of the Chelsea box. Absolutely no chance of Reading giving this one up.

    Just before all that goalmouth action Reading replaced Lauren Wade with Charlie Wellings. I'm pretty sure it was Wellings with one of those shots.

    What a game this is. Reading get a corner at one end and have a couple of efforts blocked before Chelsea break away and Sam Kerr is inches from getting on the end of a Millie Bright cross.

    Yep you've got that right, Bright, the centre-back turned right winger.

    The surface is looking more and more tricky to contend with. Shoot on sight territory for a striker surely.

    Eve Perisset swings in a corner from the left for Chelsea but a posse of Reading players snuff out the danger as Sophie Ingle's shot trickles through to keeper Jacqueline Burns.

    Chelsea 3-2 Reading

    Jess Carter has barely been on a couple of minutes after replacing Niamh Charles for the hosts and then gets a rather horrid pass from Chelsea keeper Ann-Katrin Berger.

    Ball out for a Reading throw.

    Chelsea 3-2 Reading

    Faye Bryson goes in the book for a reckless challenge on the edge of her own box but Chelsea take the free-kick short and can't work a shooting position.

    How rattled will they be by conceding those two quick-fire goals.

    Another Chelsea effort on goal from Erin Cuthbert is blocked and flies up in the air. Only a matter of time before she hits the target surely.

    The snow is really coming down now. Definitely one of those nights where the half-time brew serves the dual purpose of keeping your hands warm.

    Sophie Ingle gets forward from the back for Chelsea but can't hit the target when the ball breaks to her from the free-kick.

    Niamh Charles puts on the afterburners and races clear of Lauren Wade before being hacked down by Deanna Cooper on the edge of the Reading box.

    That'll be a booking for Royals defender, who spent three years with the Blues earlier in her career.

    No changes for either side at the break although the half-time break has ensured a slight white glaze to the Kingsmeadow playing surface.
