Koki Saito's low cross across the six-yard box almost catches Blackburn out, with their defenders convinced the ball crossed the byline for a goal kick, but they deal with it as no QPR forward really challenges for it.

Aune Heggebo flicks a header towards goal but James Beadle plucks it out of the air.

A look to the touchline finds Birmingham boss Chris Davies shaking his head.

His side look pretty toothless.

Ryan Hedges corner lead to a scramble and Paul Nardi's punch out falls directly at the set-piece taker's feet with space to shoot but he thrashes it wide.

Ryan Hedges floats a cross in to the back post aiming for Andri Gudjohnsen but it's headed away by QPR defender Sam Field.

After a scramble in the box, Hedges also gets a shot away but no luck. Blackburn are doing a lot better in creating chances in this half.

Almost 2-0!

Bristol City keeper Radek Vitek makes a fine double save - first from Kieffer Moore, then from Josh Windass.

Windass has only been on the pitch a couple of minutes after he replaced goalscorer Nathan Broadhead.

Rumarn Burrell has acres of space to run into and really could have been in on goal for QPR if he had a touch more pace in him, but he is caught by the chasing Blackburn defence.

Considering his five goals in the past seven games, he's been pretty quiet tonight so far.

Off we go again at The Hawthorns, at last...

Can West Brom take the honours or will Birmingham find a way back?

Just to let you know we are still waiting at The Hawthorns.

The assistant referee has gone back down the tunnel to get his earpiece sorted out.

Hang on, here he comes....finally....

Luke Cundle blazes a shot over the crossbar - surely should be getting that on target.

We await the first goal on a freezing night in SE16.

That goal from Patrick Bamford was his first since April 2024, when he was in a Leeds shirt.

Bamford is coming off, replaced by Gus Hamer. Harrison Burrows is also on for the Blades.

Pompey have brough on Makenzie Kirk for captain Colby Bishop.

We've got a delay to the start of the second 45 at The Hawthorns.

One of the assistant referees appears to have an issue with his communication equipment.

You know we used to manage with just a flag lads...

Paul Nardi take a bow.

Blackburn striker Andri Gudjohsen picks up the ball just outside of the six yard box and, if not for incredible reactions from the QPR substitute goalkeeper, Rovers would have been 1-0 up there.

This game has a lot more tempo now and both sides are producing chances.

A double change for Millwall to try to find the breakthrough.

Top scorer Femi Azeez is on, alongside Ra’ees Bangura-Williams.

Camiel Neghli and Thierno Ballo are the men to make way.

Chances continue to flow.

Anis Mehmeti is looking the most likely to score for Bristol City - the forward fires on target but Arthur Okonkwo keeps it out.

Amadou Mbengue sends in a tasty cross from deep and Blackburn defender Lewis Miller does very well to get his head to it and neutralise the QPR attack.

Famous last words, but it's hard to see this one ending 1-0.

Both sides are creating chances, and no doubt both managers will make changes in the next 10 minutes or so to mix things up.

An intriguing final half an hour or so awaits us.

Quite a couple of minutes.

First Millwall's Mihailo Ivanovic has the ball in the back of the net only to find the offside flag has gone up.

Sheffield Wednesday then come agonisingly close to going ahead with Charlie McNeill smashing an effort against the crossbar.

This is much better!
