    Bottom two share spoils

    Derby keeper Stephen Bywater may have the most thankless job in the Premier League but he proved his immense value with a stunning double save to secure a point at Pride Park. More

    Time:90'
    • Derby County
    • Bolton Wanderers
    • FT And there is the final whistle - Bolton have their first point away from home this season but they might have nicked it. Thank you for joining us for our coverage.
    • 90' Into stoppage time now it looks like we won't quite have a winner.
    • 83' Bolton getting stronger, and stronger as the match goes on - if there is going to be a winner it will be them.
    • 77 AMAZING scenes - Wilhelmsson first fires a shot that draws a great save by Bywater, Anelka hits the rebound off the bar, and then Nolan just can't turn it in - so close three times within seconds.
    • 72' Chances at either end, first Gardner does superb down the left to play a cross into Diouf but Bywater just gets there first, and then Howard can't get a proper contact on a cross at the other end.
    • 68' Joey O'Brien is just coming back from injury but he has picked up another injury and is forced off - Braaten will come on.
    • 64' Both sides have made changes - Wilhelmsson (who has just missed a good chance) and McCann on for Bolton (for Speed and Davies), while Barnes (for Jones) comes on for Derby.
    • 62' Diouf puts in a great low cross but there is nobody there to put the ball home.
    • 55' Kenny Miller fires over another good chance after again Eddie Lewis caused the Bolton defence problems down the left. Miller could have had a hat-trick.
    • 53' Andy O'Brien with a very good defensive header to clear the danger after a dangerous ball from Lewis.
    • 48' Derby doing the early pressing in this second-half - and Jaaskelainen has just made a SUPERB save to deny Miller - McEveley was found free down the left - he put in a low cross to Miller - Miller did nothing wrong hitting the ball low and with power from close range, but the Finn somehow managed to save.
    • 46' Back underway in this second-half - no changes on either side - Kenny Miller looks fine after his early knock.
    • 45' There is the half-time whistle...both sides have had their moments but Bolton are starting to get on top of things and may be happier at the break.
    • 42' More pressing from Bolton who are now well on top - Nolan is found inside the box on the left he plays the ball across but off balance Diouf just can't get on the end of it.
    • 40' Bolton have had a few chances - Nolan fired into the side-netting when he should have crossed for Davies, while Speed just got crowded out in the box when it looked like he would get a shot away.
    • 35' Kevin Nolan times a good run into the box but just can't get his head on a cross.
    • 31' Bolton are level - Nicolas Anelka who else? He had done nothing in the game up until that point. He plays a one-two at the edge of the area with Davies then he gets in a low shot, it gets a little deflection off Leacock and rests into the corner.
    • 27' The ball falls nicely to Joey O'Brien just outside the box after a Bolton corner - but he puts his half-volley well wide.
    • 24' Another worrying performance this if you are a Bolton fan - Derby have been the better team since the goal went in. Sammy Lee needs a reaction from his side or he could be clearing his desk at the Reebok on Monday.
    • 22' Kenny Miller seems to be hobbling a bit for Derby, Earnshaw is warming up - Derby would hate to lose their goal scorer here.
    • 19' Derby go in front a lovely goal and an example of great partnership play by the strikers - Howard took a ball on his chest with his back to goal, he then layed it off to Kenny Miller who had made a great run and the Scotsman slots it home with aplomb!
    • 14' Lewis puts a great ball into the box - Howard can't get on the end of it though and he was pushing anyway - Bolton survive.
    • 10' Very scrappy start to this match but Bolton are just starting to win the possession battle in midfield. Speed has just seen a free-kick deflected wide.
    • 3' Frantic start to this match already - the tackles are flying in, and Pearson has had the first decent chance of the match as he stormed forward but he just couldn't get a decent shot out.
    • 1' And this massive game is now underway...
    • - As you can see from the team's below Derby are trying a risky tactic today - no goalkeeper on the bench.
    • - Too early to say this is a six-pointer? The bottom two meet at Pride Park today but both sides could move out of the relagation zone with a win.
