    Time:90'
    • Bolton Wanderers
    • Hull City
    • FT And there is the full-time whistle - Hull's fate is back in their own hands but only just. They face Manchester United at home in eight days time - a win will keep them up.
    • 90+2 Newcastle have LOST - Hull look like they might have settled for the point - it is Bolton pressing late.
    • 90' We will have four extra minutes.
    • 88' Bolton bring on Makukula for Elmander.
    • 86' Sub Basham is found in all sorts of space down the left - will he shoot? Will he cross? No instead he sees the ball get trapped in between his feet.
    • 85' As you can see below - both sides have made changes as we head into the last five minutes - will we have a late winner?
    • 83' AGAIN FROM JAASKELAINEN - this time he pushes a header from Fagan - he is putting in an amazing performance to deny Hull.
    • 81' WHAT A SAVE FROM JAASKELAINEN - Manucho gets his header on that free-kick and the Finnish keeper does amazingly well to push it onto the crossbar - stunning stop.
    • 80' Great stuff from Ricketts who skips by a couple of men down the right before being taken out by Samuel who is booked.
    • 78' Half-chance for Mareny on the edge of the area but his low shot is weak and also straight at Jaaskelainen.
    • 76' Hull have taken off Geovanni and Cousin has come on.
    • 74' SO CLOSE FROM HULL AGAIN - Geovanni's shot is spilled by Jaaskelainen and Marney is there - he is driven out to a tough angle but he then he flashes the ball across the face of the goal when perhaps he should have cut back to Manucho.
    • 72' Hull make a change with Barmby going off and Dean Marney coming on.
    • 71' And now Taylor fires a shot straight at Myhill - end-to-end stuff.
    • 70' OFF THE POST FROM BARMBY - the ball falls for him at the edge of the box - he sort of mis-hits a half-volley but that helps to put Jaaskelainen off and it agonisingly hits the post.
    • 69' Myhill shows solid hands to save a shot from McCann.
    • 68' A Bolton corner hits of Manucho without him knowing much about it and Fagan has to clear off the line for the second time in the match.
    • 67' Cahill again does a good job on Manucho to prevent the Angolan striker getting a shot on Ricketts's cross.
    • 66' Hull are putting on plenty of pressure now - they are starting to believe they can get all three points now.
    • 64' Gary Cahill makes a great defensive header to head over the bar under pressure from Manucho.
    • 63' Shittu defensive header just loops towards goal and Jaaskelainen is forced to tip it over the bar.
    • 61' The game has settled down a bit now in terms of chances although the tackles are still flying in.
    • 59' Garcia the latest man down needing treatment. There will be a lot of bruised bodies in the morning after this match.
    • 58' Andy Dawson has had to have a dislocated finger put back into place - not a pretty sight.
    • 57' There has been a red card in the Newcastle v Fulham match. Who has it gone too?
    • 56' Taylor is given all sorts of time to get the ball under control at the edge of the box - he can only fire over the bar though.
    • 54' A few heavy tackles flying in now - the referee needs to get control of things.
    • 52' The Hull bench are furious at the tackle from Davies. Assistant Brian Horton is particularly animated.
    • 51' Andy Dawson is flung into the air after a meaty tackle from Kevin Davies. Davies got the ball but if he hadn't he might have been sent-off.
    • 50' Hull fans are bouncing now but this game still looks very open - there could be more goals yet.
    • 47' HULL ARE LEVEL - Shittu tries to shield the ball back to Jaaskelainen but Fagan pushes his way around him and then finishes.
    • 46' Great play form Kevin Davies on the right - he puts in a great cross but Muamba makes a mess of it. The ball was drilled low at his feet but he could not get a clean contact.
    • 46' And we are back underway at the Reebok - massive 45 minutes coming up for Hull City.
    • HT And there is the half-time whistle. Good game this but Bolton have the lead.
    • 45+4 Cahill meets a corner with with a powerful header - it is heading for the bottom corner but Fagen is there to clear off the line.
    • 45+3 Chris Fagan has been booked for Hull for a mis-timed challenge.
    • 45+3 Barmbey heads over the bar with a header at the back post. The cross was just a little too high for him.
    • 45+1 Geovanni finds himself some space on the edge of the area but when he finally shoots it goes straight off Shittu.
    • 45' There will be four extra minutes at the end of the half.
    • 43' Bit of a lull in the match at the moment - Hull fans will be feeling a little better though after the Fulham goal.
    • 41' At the start of the day Hull were level on points with Newcastle. There has been a goal in Newcastle's game with Fulham. See who has got it
    • 40' Myhill has to head a ball back to Turner after a suspect back pass.
    • 39' Elmander has been booked for a heavy challenge on Ricketts.
    • 38' Bolton are very scrappy as they try and clear a ball into the box. The ball bounces into Muamba on the floor and the Hull fans at that end scream "handball" but there was nothing in that to be fair.
    • 36' Again - a Hull player wins a header in the box - this time Geovanni - but again it is straight at Jaaskelainen. These are all chances.
    • 34' Muamba storms forward to the edge of the area - the ball then falls to Elmander who fires a fine low shot but Myhill does very well to get down quickly and push it away.
    • 31' It has been a great response from Hull to be fair - they have been piling on the pressure since the goal.
    • 28' And then Nick Barmby has another good chance. A corner goes all the way to him at the back post but he puts his header wide. To be fair the ball came to him very quickly.
    • 27' Oh Manucho should really equalise moments later but he skies an effort over the bar after the ball was checked back to him.
    • 26' BOLTON HAVE THE LEAD - it is Gretar Steinsson who has got it. Bolton launched a quick counter-attack - it was Taylor who had the first chance but his weak effort was block - it came to Steinsson though to the right of the area and he fired a low shot into the opposite bottom corner of the net.
    • 25' And if we show Manucho then we have to show Mr. Shittu too. Pic of Danny Shittu form today's game.
    • 24' We told you Manucho was the wars - well now we can show you what he looks like thanks to this pic from today.
    • 22' Bolton launching lots of long balls - it is not always pretty but with the likes of Davies and Elmander up there you can understand why they do it.
    • 20' Great cross from Garcia on the right - Manucho gets in between two men but can only put his header straight at Jaaskelainen - that was a chance.
    • 19' Davies earns a free about 35 yards out and in a central position. Taylor takes the free-kick but it hits a head in the wall and the result is a corner. Nothing comes from it though.
    • 17' Great block from Dawson who threw himself at a shot from Muamba at the edge of the area. Hull will need plenty of that type of effort today.
    • 16' Hull chip a free kick into the box and it takes three Bolton man to eventually clear the danger.
    • 14' Better play from Bolton - Elmander chests a good ball down to Taylor but the former Pompey man puts his shot well wide. You would expect him to do better.
    • 12' Hull fans will be interested to see how the other teams around them are going - there has been a goal in the Middlesbrough v Aston Villa game. Click here to see who it went too.
    • 10' Nice spell of pressure from Hull - they have got a few balls into the box and Manucho fresh aired the best chance. The visitors are looking lively though and dangerous - especially down the right.
    • 9' Manucho has been in the wars now too - he has a bandage around his head now.
    • 8' Manucho turns well outside the box and gets a powerful shot on target but it is straight at Jaaskelainen.
    • 6' Ricketts whips a cross in from the right and that looks to cause problems but Bolton's defence clears. It is enough to get the Hull fans going though.
    • 5' Shittu has a big bandage on his head but it looks like he is going to return to the play. Massive swelling above his eye though.
    • 3' Big delay in play at the moment with Danny Shittu down after catching an elbow in the face from Manucho - not a deliberate challenge but a nasty one.
    • 2' First attempt is a long range special from Taylor but that is too high and flies over the bar.
    • 1' And we are now underway at the Reebok.
    • - A minute silence for former Bolton chairman George Warburton who died this week before the match.
