Havoc in the Birmingham box. In comes the cross. Odemwingie can't reach Fortune's ball and the ball zips across the box with Foster desperately scrambling across his goal!

Headed away. the hosts can counter. That'll be another deep cross and it's hooked away.

And that'll be another free-kick to Birmingham. Midway in their own half now. Ridgewell will take it. Out for a Birmingham throw deep in West Brom territory.

That's a long ball over the top into the West Brom half. It's held up. The ball's played out right to Bowyer, but the flag's up!
36'
WHAT A WASTE!! Played short in a training ground routine, but someone didn't read the script and the ball rolls tamely out for a Birmingham goal kick!
34'
Foul against Barry Ferguson. Free-kick to West Brom to the right of the box...

It's been all West Brom in these last 15 minutes. Birmingham are being pinned back.

Out as far as the halfway line. West brom will build again. In it comes to FORTUNE!! Poor effort and again the ball's safe with Foster! The flag's up anyway!
28'
Again West Brom come forward. Ball in from Chris Brunt. Played out wide. In comes the cross. That's good Birmingham defending.
27'
That's almost deja vu! Another long ball from the left side. It's coming in to Odemwingie. Down he goes under Dann's challenge! No foul says the ref!
25'
West Brom regain possession. That's another long ball from the laft back position. But again that's too long and it'll roll out for another Birmingham free kick to groans from the Baggies faithful.
24'
That's another long ball to the far post by the hosts. This one's TOO long and Foster will take the goal kick.
