Hello and welcome to our coverage of Southampton vs Stoke City from St Mary's. Team news to follow shortly.

And that is the full time whistle. Stoke earn a hard point at Saints.

Final minute of added time and Stoke do well to kill this game. Taking their time over everything.

Long balls getting Southampton nowhere.

Lambert jumps unfairly with Whelan who wins a free-kick. Saints are starting to look exasperated.

Odemwingie is booked for a cynical trip on Lallana as he burst away from him in his own half.

Cork is slid in on the right wing and earns a corner off Pieters. Davis runs over to take and swings it in to the far post but Begovic is out early to claim with ease.

Boruc pumps one long bu it is cleared. Crouch and Walters do well to earn a free kick on the half-way line.

Thankless task for Crouch up front as he is up against three defenders every time. Rodriguez with the ball in the box and crosses but it is just too high for Lambert. The next cross from Chambers is caught well by Begovic at the far post.

Absolutely lashing it down at St Mary's again. Could the weather play a major part in the final few moments of this game?

John Guidetti comes on to replace Assaidi.

CHANCE!. Schneiderlin finds himself unmarked at the far post as it is crossed from deep on the right. He tries to sidefoot the ball in at the near post but cna only find the side-netting.

Shaw is felled by Nzonzi as he burst through on the left. Davis stands over it but Shawcross nods clear

Shaw absolutely roasts Odemwingie for pace before over-cooking his cross and sending it out for a throw on the far side.

Scrappy period of play. Both sides trying to get someone in behind but both defences coping with the long balls so far.

Chambers coming on for Clyne at full-back. Straight swap.

Semi-mistakes at both ends as Shawcross mistimes a header and allows Rodridguez a sniff but it is cleared. then Fonte allows the ball to bounce and has to hack clear for a throw just seconds later.

Nzonzi coming on for Charlie Adam who has provided twogoals for his side but is starting to look tired. Doesn't look happy coming off.

Great switch from Adam finds Odemwingie who takes on Shaw but his pass is really poor and finds only Davis to break for Saints.

Lallana feeds Clyne inside Pieters but the full-back slips and allows Pieters a chance to get back and block the cross. Corner taken to Clyne who crosses but Shawcross is up to clear.

More Saints pressure but they're up against a black wall right now. Really finding it difficult to find space and make runs when Stoke are defending so tight.
