That's another long ball to the far post by the hosts. This one's TOO long and Foster will take the goal kick.

West Brom have turned it up a notch here!
21'
Great run by Gonzalo Jara! Lofts the ball to the far post and there's SCHARNER!! Saved at close range by Foster. So close to an equaliser!!

Free kick comes to nothing. West Brom counter again.

Birmingham on the attack. Beautiful cross field ball to Liam Ridgewell. In comes the cross, but there's no one in the box to take advantage!
11'
Red shirts are tumbling to the deck all over the field. Stephen Carr picks himself up gingerly. Play continues.
10'
In it comes. And there's Ben Foster to gather the loose ball from Paul Scharner.

And that's out for another. Pressure mounting, but the ref wants a word with Tamas and Jerome in the box.

Narrow escape for WBA. But they've won a corner at the other end. Chance here!

Lee Bowyer with the run, finds Hleb. tries to find the pass, there's a tumble, but no free-kick says the ref. Craig Gardner is furious with that decision as he looked to get his shot away!!

The Baggies have ample time at the back. Knocked forward, now it's with Gabriel Tamas.

Good work by Jonas Olsson at the back.

Early free kick to the Baggies. Delivered to the near post. Headed out.

Thumped deep into the stand by the Birmingham defence! No nonsense there!

And it's WBA who get us underway!
