Swansea are dominating now, with Reading sitting deep as they look to protect their lead.

Liam Cullen is where you want your striker, following the rebounds, gets himself a goal.
Swansea are back in the game.

We have had a slight delay as referee James Linington sorted his earpiece out, but the action is back under way now.
Liam Cullen
Swansea are back in this.
Jamie Paterson lifts the ball into the box for Joel Piroe, whose header comes back off the inside of the post after a superb save from Joe Lumley.
The rebound rolls right into the path of Liam Cullen to tap in.
It's an almost identical goal to the one he scored at Coventry last time out.

Now Swansea carve a sight of goal as Matty Sorinola touches Ryan Manning's cross down for Joel Piroe, but his shot is too close to Joe Lumley.

Mamamdou Loum picks off Matt Grimes' pass on halfway and then tries his luck with Steven Benda off his line.
The 45-yard shot drifts narrowly wide.
Fine effort, though.

Harry Darling is booked for a foul on Tom Ince - and Ben Cabango is booked for blocking Tom McIntyre.
Unusual one, that, as both players were booked at the same time for separate fouls.

Baba Rahman is on for Yakou Meite.

Mamadou Loum plays in Tom Ince and he curls the ball inside the far post - but he is rightly flagged offside.

Russell Martin's changes made a big difference at Coventry City last time out and he has to hope for something similar here.
His team have not caused Reading enough problems as yet,

Swansea make a triple change.
Jay Fulton, Ollie Cooper and Joe Allen make way for Luke Cundle, Jamie Paterson and Liam Cullen.

It's typical Swansea in possession of the football.
There are moments in football games where you just cannot do that and that was one.
Tom Ince

Harry Darling plays it to goalkeeper Steven Benda, whose pass for Joe Allen is poor.
Mamadou Loum's sliding challenge on Allen presents possession to Tom Ince and he rolls a shot into the bottom corner from 20 yards, with the aid of a deflection.
Reading 1-0 Swansea City
Swansea are playing with a bit of a purpose in the opening exchanges of this second half.
That will have come as no surprise to Reading - and they are coping comfortably enough for now.

Half an opening for Swansea early in the second half as Ollie Cooper feeds Joel Piroe, but his cross-shot is well blocked.
