  1. ouch!

    Sunderland 2-2 Hull

    Danny Batth tries to break up the middle for Sunderland and clatters into Sean McLoughlin.

    There are grimaces of discomfort from both players, but they shake it off quick enough.

  2. Sunderland 2-2 Hull

    Sunderland playing it a lot more patient now as they try to build up from the back.

    There is a murmur of expectation when the ball is worked out to Jack Clarke on the left, but Hull do well to shut the danger down as Lynden Gooch come in on the overlap.

  3. Sunderland 2-2 Hull

    Sunderland players line up on the edge of the box as the resulting free-kick is floated in.

    It's easily dealt with and the game that was ticking along at an incredible pace has suddenly quietened down to normal levels.

  4. YELLOW CARD

    Sunderland 2-2 Hull

    Allahyar Sayyadmanesh loses the ball, then risks losing touch of Jack Clarke as he tries to skip away. Allahyar sees to it that the attacker is stopped with a challenge from behind.

    It wasn't pretty, but it was effective.

  5. Sunderland 2-2 Hull

    What's this, we have played five minutes without another goal...

    At one stage I was encouraged to get my abacus at the ready.

  6. Sunderland 2-2 Hull

    Hit me with the stats, you say...

    Well, those three goals that have turned this game on its head and back again officially come in four minutes and five seconds.

  10. Sunderland 0-1 Hull

    Sunderland were the ones feeling buoyed by the early results today, but Hull are in there as well with slim play-off hopes.

    If they were to upstage Sunderland for a win today, they would be 10 points off the play-off spots.

    Sure, there will only be six games remaining, but they will have hope to cling to.

  11. Sunderland 0-1 Hull

    Liam Rosenior's changes today are working a treat!

    Dimitrios Pelkas, who like Tufan was recalled to the starting XI, is the latest to go close for Hull City.

    He links up well with Allahyar before firing just over.

    Sunderland are looking stunned.

  12. Sunderland 0-1 Hull

    The opener from Ozan Tufan was his second goal in four games and just his sixth of the season.

  14. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Sunderland 0-0 Hull

    We've have a shot that looked like a cross and now we've had a cross that comes up looking like a great shot!

    Sunderland's Lynden Gooch takes the ball out wide on the left.

    He then puts so much bend on his cross that it brushes the outside of the post.

  15. CLOSE!

    Sunderland 0-0 Hull

    Sunderland come up with the first chance of the game on the break.

    The ball is eventually worked to Patrick Roberts in the area, and he goes for goal.

    His effort is wide, but Joe Gelhardt threw himself at the the ball trying to direct it home.

    In truth, that was a better cross than shot.

  16. Sunderland 0-0 Hull

    Sunderland fans, as well as their Hull counterparts, have filled the early minutes with plenty of noise.

  17. Sunderland 0-0 Hull

    Ozan Tufan getting an early feel for the ball on his return to Hull's starting line-up.

    The visitors are quick to get on the front foot, but for all their probing an quick passing they fail to really make Sunderland work.

  18. KICK-OFF

    We are just moments from kick-off at the Stadium of Light, with handshakes and pre-game pleasantries done.

  20. Sunderland v Hull (17:30 BST)

    Sunderland will no doubt want to make this a very good Friday after results went in their favour earlier today.

    Norwich's win at Blackburn means the Black Cats can move to within four points of the play-off sports if they beat Hull.
