    It's an interesting game, I'm expecting Blackburn to step up in the second half.

    They're keeping the ball so far back against a team that doesn't really want to come out.

  3. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:32 British Summer Time 15 April 2023

    Blackburn 0-0 Hull

    Chances for both Blackburn and Hull in a first-half which the home side have possibly shaded.

    Tyrhys Dolan's shot, dragged just wide, was probably their best attempt in that opening 45.

    That isn't to say Hull haven't threatened though, with goalkeeper Aynsley Pears acting smartly to deny Regan Slater.

    All square though and anyone's game still.

    Blackburn 0-0 Hull

    There's a slight air of panic which for the neutral is helping to make this game quite interesting.

    Neither side has kept possession as sufficiently as they would like, and in turn both sides have been able to counter with threat.

    Neat football from Hull almost unlocked Blackburn, passing between the lines saw Regan Slater bomb on and exchange passes with Sayyadmanesh, but his return ball was just ahead of the Iran winger.

    Blackburn 0-0 Hull

    Real scramble at both ends.

    Hull robbed Tyler Morton of possession and got in behind but the cross was poor and Blackburn broke.

    Harry Pickering steered in a cross from the left which wasn't cleared, the shot on goal by Tyrhys Dolan was steered away and Joe Rankin-Costello's cross shot whizzed by.

    Blackburn's venomous shot by Morton is helped over by Sean McLoughlin's deflection.

  7. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 37 mins

    Blackburn 0-0 Hull

    Ben Brereton Diaz goes down in the box as he's closed down by Allahyah Sayyadmanesh, but the Blackburn striker's pleas are waved away by John Busby.

    It could have been a chance just before as the ball was dropped in over the top for Sam Szmodics, but the midfielder just couldn't trap it cutely enough and he was forced wide.

    Blackburn so close to carving Hull open, as Ben Brereton Diaz plays a reverse ball - slide-rule through the defence.

    Tyrhys Dolan makes the blindside run and looks like he's bending it in the corner, but instead goes near post and drags it just wide.

    Just didn't strike it cleanly. Great chance.

    This is what it's like now, players are switching off. You're keeping the ball at the back for so long that forwards aren't concentrating.

    It frustrates you as a forward player.

    Blackburn 0-0 Hull

    Blackburn just starting to have a bit of possession themselves now.

    Sam Szmodics gets to a ball in midfield and sets Tyrhys Dolan away but Joe Rankin-Costello can't get to it as he drops it off.

    Little bits of detail letting Rovers down.

    Blackburn 0-0 Hull

    Tyrhys Dolan cuts in off the left and sears a shot at goal which Karl Darlow saves from the Blackburn winger.

    From the resulting attack, Hull concede a corner, but Lewie Coyle spectacularly clears with the header, not once but twice.

    Hull have just started to frustrate this Blackburn team and enjoy some chances too.

    Allahyah Sayyadmanesh and playmaker Ozan Tufan - pictured - have the quality to hurt the home side if allowed.

    Blackburn 0-0 Hull

    Regan Slater zips a cracker that Aynsley Pears has to get down low to beat away at his near post.

    Hull close. It was poor play again from Blackburn in terms of care of the ball and the Tigers pounced.

    Allahyah Sayyadmanesh passed into Adama Traore on the edge of the box, and Slater then picked up, drove across the box and smashed a low drive which was well stopped.

    It's been quite an open game this so far.

    Blackburn try to get in on the left with Ben Brereton Diaz, who looks to switch it to the right but is not on the same wavelength as Lewis Travis, and it sails behind for a goal-kick.

    Forgive me for the Rankin-Costello mistype. It's because of Jordan Rankin, ex of Hull FC.

    I've had my knuckles rapped, and won't do it again.

    Blackburn 0-0 Hull

    Blackburn's turn to open Hull up through the middle.

    Joe Rankin-Costello raps a fierce pass at Ben Brereton Diaz, who does well to control it, picks it up in midfield and powers forward.

    He's got runners either side, but rather than pass, he opts to drill one low from the edge of the box and it's a simple save for Karl Darlow and Hull.

    Blackburn 0-0 Hull

    First crack at goal from Hull's debutant winger Harry Vaughan, though he can't wrap his foot round the ball and it veers away.

    Hull are starting to enjoy a bit of midfield supremacy, with Jean Michael Seri in particular pulling the strings.

    Blackburn 0-0 Hull

    Sharp move by Hull, picking up space between the lines releases Callum Elder on the left, but his cross is blocked by Joe Rankin-Costello for a corner.

    Sam Gallagher clears the header, and Hull end up going back to goalkeeper Karl Darlow.

    Well-defended.

    Blackburn 0-0 Hull

    Blackburn are backing themselves with passing the ball around at the back but Hull aren't standing on ceremony.

    They force an error and win a free-kick.

    Jean-Michael Seri squares to Lewie Coyle who floats a ball into the box for Jacob Greaves, but his flick on is taken smartly by Aynsley Pears.

    At the other end, Blackburn move through the gears, Tyrhys Dolan teeing Joe Rankin Costello out on the left, but his distanced-drive sears over the top.

  20. Postpublished at 11 mins

    Blackburn 0-0 Hull

    Sam Gallagher is picked out by a sensational curling ball by Jordan Rankin-Costello into the penalty area.

    Blackburn showing some real class.

    However, the ball just outruns the striker and goalkeeper Karl Darlow can clutch it for Hull.
