Bournemouth - Sunderland live updates

Now Boruc forced into an unconvincing save from Ndong after a wicked, swerving effort. Sunderland definitely the better team at the moment.

Dangerous ball across the box from Jones. Defoe made the near post run but there was nobody at the back.

Bournemouth suddenly all over the place as Smith fouls Anichebe. Sunderland on top for the first time in the match.

Another free kick for Sunderland. In it comes and the header from Stanislas just clears his own bar and the Black Cats have a corner. Bournemouth struggling to clear their lines.

Van Aanholt swings in the free kick and Daniels is able to clear.

Paddy McNair is up, clutching his shoulder but looks like he’ll probably be okay.

McNair still down so the players can get an early breather. The stretcher is on for McNair.

McNair brought down by Gosling and Sunderland have a free kick in a dangerous area. Bournemouth a bit sloppy, giving the ball away cheaply in the midfield.

Defoe turns on the edge of the box but can’t find Watmore and Daniels clears.

Wilshere plays in Afobe and his shot is blocked by Pickford but the whistle had already gone for a foul by Afobe. Looked harsh.

Josh King goes into a wider position as a result of the reshuffle. No changes for Sunderland.

Back underway at the Vitality Stadium and Bournemouth have made a change. Afobe replaces Ibe.

HALF TIME: Bournemouth 1 Sunderland 1

Watmore has the ball in the net but he’s flagged offside after a lovely Sunderland move. One added minute here.

Pienaar is booked for a reckless challenge.

Watmore in for McNair and Boruc comes out well to block for a corner. The keeper is fouled and it's a free kick.

STAT: Victor Anichebe scores his first PL goal since 9 May 2015 (for WBA at Newcastle), ending a goalless streak of 13 PL appearances.

CHANCE! Cook makes a mistake and lets in Defoe but Francis does well to make the block.
