Relegation-battling West Ham host fellow strugglers Blackburn Rovers in their Premier League match at Upton Park with priceless points at stake.

Robinson is left to watch on as Spector drives an ambitious left-footed shot wide of the far post.

West Ham build patiently from the back as Blackburn sit deep and look to soak up the pressure.

STAT: West Ham have not managed to turn around a half-time deficit in a Premier League match since December 2008....

The second half is underway, and West Ham have a serious amount of work to do after the break.

The half-time whistle goes at Upton Park, and Blackburn hold a slender 1-0 lead courtesy of Jason Roberts's 12th minute strike! Can West Ham respond? They need to show considerably more urgency in the second half...

Da Costa rushes on to crash a low shot into the Blackburn wall, and West Ham have a corner following the free kick.

Two minutes will be added at the end of this first half, and West Ham have a dangerous free kick....

Robinson makes his first save of the match! Ba battles tirelessly to hold the ball up before feeding the onrushing Sears with a lay off, and the Blackburn keeper is forced to save down low to his left.

Pedersen is bundled over by Costa in the West Ham half, and that was poor defending.

Emerton shows real skill and class in turning Ba and clearing upfield with composure.

Diouf flies down the right in powerful fashion, and he beats Bridge with ease before Gabbidon clears.

Avram Grant looks increasingly frustrated on the touchline as he watches his side lose possession yet again.

Boa Morte is given a stern warning from referee Walton after protesting, but Da Costa is punished with a yellow card.

N'Zonzi skips past Bridge and Spector all too easily, but he drags his shot wide.

Jones and Hitzlsperger both go down now after a clash on halfway, and this is very scrappy indeed!

The jeers ring out as Carlton Cole lacks any conviction in losing out to Jones and conceding a goal kick.

Diouf tracks another attacking run by Bridge before making a fine challenge.

Ba skips inside two challenges before dinking a delivery into the box, and Spector heads tamely straight at Robinson.

Jermaine Jones goes down with no one else around him, and that's very strange indeed. He limps off to the touchline.

Robinson is still yet to be tested as Ba heads wide after rising above Givet from Bridge's cross. He should have done better!

Gabbidon stands his ground superbly with a firm challenge on Roberts, who is seeing an awful lot of the ball.
