    It is all Sheffield United now with Blackburn hanging on and hoping for extra time. Tommy Doyle has a go from distance but straight down Aynsley Pears' throat.

    Incredible.

    That is the difference from Oli McBurnie.

    The Kop behind the goal go crazy. Game on.

    Sheff Utd 2-2 Blackburn

    The problem for Blackburn boss Jon Dahl Tomasson is that he made the tactical switch to be more defensive. Now Blackburn need to attack again but the home side have the crowd and the momentum behind them.

    Oli McBurnie

    Equaliser!

    Superb work by Max Lowe as he keeps the ball alive on the left side of the box, sweeping it to Oli McBurnie despite being sat on the ground. McBurnie forces his way through a crowd of defenders before flicking the ball across the goalkeeper and into the far corner.

    We are level again in this rollercoaster of a cup tie!

    Sheff Utd 1-2 Blackburn

    Blackburn have switched to a back five to try and see out this final 10 minutes.

    Sheffield United, though, have offered little since going behind, could this defensive switch play into the home side's hands?

  9. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 79 mins

    Sheff Utd 1-2 Blackburn

    It looks like Blackburn are going to try and shut up shop as midfielder Ryan Hedges is replaced by defender Scott Wharton.

    There's also a straight swap at right back as Callum Brittain comes on for Joe Rankin-Costello.

    James McAtee slips the ball in for Oli McBurnie inside the box, McBurnie shoots but well wide. Should have done better from that position.

  11. CLOSE!published at 75 mins

    Sheff Utd 1-2 Blackburn

    Superb work on the left by Ben Brereton Diaz and he gets away from George Baldock, charges towards the box before crossing for Sam Gallagher but it is just out of the reach of his outstretched foot.

    Brilliant strike, hit so well.

    Right across the line as everybody stops to watch it. Wow, what a strike.

    Dominic Hyam times a tackle inside the box to perfection to halt a Sheffield United attack. There's a few shouts for a penalty but it was an excellent challenge.

  14. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 71 mins

    Sheff Utd 1-2 Blackburn

    The woodwork denies Blackburn a third as Ryan Hedges hits a low effort right on the edge of the box that beats Wes Foderingham but hits the inside of the post and goes across the goalmouth.

    Blackburn are pushing to put this tie beyond Sheffield United.

    In queue at Brighton railway station, and one Grimsby fan is being lambasted by his mates for carrying an inflatable trout. His plea that “they’d sold out of haddocks” isn’t getting much sympathy. Could only be the FA Cup.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 69 mins

    Sheff Utd 1-2 Blackburn

    Sheffield United turn to an old and experienced head as Billy Sharp comes on. He replaces Jack Robinson as Paul Heckingbottom adds more to his attack.

    Wes Foderingham, the Sheffield United goalkeeper, is currently down receiving some treatment but eventually he is up on his feet and okay to continue.

    There is a lot of time, but you don't want to concede on the counter. Frustration is setting in for Sheffield United.

    Blackburn are just waiting, sitting in, ready to hit them.

    Sheffield United have had plenty of chances in this game so you'd expect they'd get at least one more really good opportunity with 25 minutes to go.

  20. YELLOW CARDpublished at 62 mins

    Sheff Utd 1-1 Blackburn

    Hayden Carter is booked for Blackburn for a foul and that's a difficult one for the defender as it means he is out of the semi-final if they progress. You can see from his reaction he knows what that means.
