    Blackpool 2-3 Millwall

    This break in play is not what the hosts, heading for relegation, need at the moment.

    It will mean a big chunk of injury time.

    It looks like the stretcher is coming out for Jordan Gabriel.

    Blackpool 2-3 Millwall

    It's now or never for Blackpool.

    They need impetus and urgency but also calm heads.

    Jordan Gabriel gives away a free-kick as he looks to retain possession in the Millwall half and looks to have injured his right calf in the process.

  3. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 86 mins

    Blackpool 2-3 Millwall

    More switches for the Lions as they aim to take the sting out of the game.

    Two-goal striker Tom Bradshaw is among those replaced.

    Duncan Watmore and Zian Flemming also head off as their front line trudges off.

    Mason Bennett, Tyler Burey and Oliver Burke enter the fray.

    Charlie Patino curls a free-kick into the Millwall box but there's a foul in there by a Seasiders player and the Lions get a chance to waste a few more seconds.

    Blackpool 2-3 Millwall

    Not long for Blackpool to save their season.

    Defeat means the end of their two-year stay back in the Championship.

    The Millwall defence are standing firm at the moment. It's a back five for the visitors now, who have taken the sting out of the game somewhat.

  7. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 81 mins

    Blackpool 2-3 Millwall

    A couple of changes by Millwall as full-backs Danny McNamara and Scott Malone come on for Jamie Shackleton and Callum Styles.

    They are both defensively-minded, and it probably means a switch to four at the back - if not five - for the Lions.

    The Londoners will move up to fifth in the table if they hang on and win tonight.

    This game has been incredible.

    If ever you could take a game to sum up our second tier, this would be it.

    Both sets of supporters are playing their part and it’s a game that’s been on a knife-edge throughout this second half.

    Millwall are in the ascendancy with 10 to go but with their Championship lives on the line, I’m expecting another twist from the Tangerines.

    Something thrown from the crowd?

    It's a break in play when Blackpool need some momentum.

    What response do Blackpool have now?

    They've come from behind twice and once again need two goals.

    Midfielder Charlie Patino curls over the Millwall bar from the edge of the D.

    Zian Flemming pen

    It's another twist in this remarkable game.

    Zian Flemming steps up and side-foots into the bottom right-hand corner as Millwall go ahead for the third time in this game.

    Blackpool keeper Daniel Grimshaw went the right way, but couldn't get down there.

    Once more, the Tangerines are heading for League One and Millwall will climb into the play-offs.

    Having equalised seven minutes ago, Lewis Fiorini gives away a penalty.

    The Blackpool midfielder goes to ground and catches the shins of Duncan Watmore.

  14. YELLOW CARDpublished at 72 mins

    Caution for Millwall striker Tom Bradshaw as he tracks back and fouls Keshi Anderson inside the Lions half.

    Blackpool 2-2 Millwall

    Callum Styles gets into the Blackpool box but can't wriggle away from a couple of Blackpool challenges.

    It gets congested in there but eventually the hosts clear their lines.

    Defenders need to be careful.

    Wow, wow, wow! What a few minutes!

    Tom Bradshaw gets the Millwall fans out of their seats and then that absolute beauty from Manchester City loanee Lewis Fiorini with his first goal for Blackpool.

    I cannot tell you how loud it has got in here. Just over 12,000 fans at Bloomfield Road and they are all going through an emotional rollercoaster by the Pleasure Beach.

    Blackpool 2-2 Millwall

    That quick response to falling behind has given Blackpool a bit of time to conjure a potential winner.

    A draw will still leave the Tangerines in a perilous position in the relegation zone.

    Three points are needed.

    There's surely another goal in this game...

    Lewis Fiorini

    Millwall clear the corner and then a second cross into the box but then Blackpool level with a real moment of quality,

    Lewis Fiorini picks up the ball 35 yards out in a central position.

    The midfielder takes a touch and then strikes a low, right-footed shot which zips into the bottom left-hand corner.

    What a time to score his first goal for the Tangerines, who have hope of survival once more!

    Blackpool 1-2 Millwall

    It looks like the hosts have gone to a three at the back after that change, with Josh Bowler coming into the number 10 position and drifting out to the right.

    Millwall are starting to sit back, with Callum Styles and Jamie Shackleton dropping back on either flank.

    Bowler gets on the ball and helps win a corner on the right.

  20. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 64 mins

    Blackpool 1-2 Millwall

    Attacking substitution by Blackpool interim boss Stephen Dobbie as Josh Bowler comes on for James Husband.

    He brings on some instructions for centre-back Curtis Nelson.

    A change in system perhaps?
