    Time:90'
    • Hull City
    • Sunderland
    • 90+3 And that's it. 4-1 Sunderland, great result for caretaker Sbragia. Not the best way to celebrate Phil Brown's 100th game in charge.
    • 90+2 Two late Hull free-kicks sail over the Sunderland bar. First Geovanni, then King.
    • 90' Cisse completes the rout. Latching onto a through ball he fires past Myhill. FOUR GOALS FOR SUNDERLAND FOR THE SECOND WEEK RUNNING.
    • 89' Edwards for Richardson and a bit of time wasting by Richardson.
    • 87' King fires straight at Fulop.
    • 85' Things are beginning to boil over. Marlon King is in the referee's book.
    • 84' GOALLLL...And no sooner than Ricketts leaves the field, Jones has put the game beyond Hull with a near post diving header after Malbranque's centre. Game over.
    • 81' Sam Ricketts has done nothing to help his side's cause! He's off for a second yellow after a rash challenge on Bardsley.
    • 78' GOOOOAAAALLLL...for Richardson. Although the dubious goals panel may have something to say about it. After skipping past Stelios the former England man saw his left-footed drive take a big deflection off Zayatte to put his side a goal up.
    • 76' What an effort from Cisse. Myhill is equal to it and replays suggest it took a deflection.
    • 75' Sam Ricketts is booked for a terrible challenge on goal-scorer Malbranque.
    • 74' Reid makes way for club captain Dean Whitehead.
    • 72' Cousin hits the back of the net after great work and cross from Geovanni...but it's called back for offside.
    • 71' Richardson hauls down Mendy and is booked.
    • 69' Reid floats in a free-kick but it's too close to Myhill.
    • 68' Barmby gets a standing ovation as he is replaced by Stelios.
    • 67' Jones has a penalty claim turned down.
    • 63' Sunderland break but Cisse's cross is not accurate enough and is cleared for a corner.
    • 61' Bardsley fires over and Hull break but King's cross is too close to Fulop.
    • 58' Garcia is replaced by Cousin.
    • 58' First shot on target of the second half, Richardson skips past his man and unleashes a powerful effort that was straight at Myhill, Cisse follows up but it's over.
    • 54' Riley calls up Zayatte for a horrendous challenge on Jones. Hull clear their lines from the resulting free-kick.
    • 52' Bardsley centres for Jones, but Turner heads out for a corner. Sunderland make little of it.
    • 50' A very slow start to the second half!
    • 48' Hull look to break but Boateng is penalised for a high foot.
    • 46' Hull start the half with an attack but it comes to little. King dispossessed by Ferdinand.
    • 46' Sunderland get the second half underway.
    • 45+2 Riley brings a pulsating half to an end with Hull in the ascendancy.
    • 45' Turner denies Cisse a clear sight of goal and Malbranque delivers the corner that Jones heads wide. Last chance of the half.
    • 44' Hull finish the half the dominant side.
    • 42' Geovanni tries his luck from range but there isn't enough on it to trouble Fulop.
    • 40' Jones heads down for Malbranque to volley wide. Good chance.
    • 38' Following a period of concerted Hull pressure culminating in a wild swing of his left boot from Boateng, Cisse stretches his legs and wins a corner.
    • 35' Ferdinand gives away a free-kick on the edge of the box. Geovanni stands over it, it's curling, but Fulop pushes over the bar.
    • 33' A timely Phil Bardsley interception denies Geovanni a clear sight of goal.
    • 31' Kenwyne Jones heads a free header tamely wide.
    • 28' Hull break quickly and Marlon King lashes wildly and sees his effort sail over the bar.
    • 25' Following consecutive corners Matthew Turner heads over Fulop's bar.
    • 22' Hull are making a lot of the running now, this game has swung to and fro. Geovanni has a volley saved. Phil Brown strides around his technical area.
    • 20' But wait!!! GOOOAAAALLLLL. Local boy Barmby equalises for Hull. Incredible. It wasn't pretty, but it is 1-1. An almighty punt from Myhill caused mayhem in the Sunderland box and the veteran hooked home from just inside the six yard box.
    • 17' The goal seems to have settled Sunderland and they are now stroking the ball around very well.
    • 14' Cynical foul on Cisse by Boateng as the Frenchman looked to lead a Sunderland quick break, and the Dutchman is duly yellow carded.
    • 11' GOOOAAALLLLL and it's against the run of play. Steed Malbranque volleying past a helpless Myhill. Great right-footed strike from just outside the area into the top left-hand corner of the net. Controlling a Danny Collin's pass, the ball bounced up and the Frenchman let fly.
    • 7' Following a Nyron Nosworthy poor headed clearance, Nicky Barmby drags a half volley wide.
    • 5' Cisse has the first effort of the afternoon a blocked volley, but play is called back for an offside.
    • 1' Mike Riley gets Phil Brown's 100th game in charge of Hull underway, the home side to kick off. But they must wait for Sunderland to complete their pre-match huddle.
    • 14:50 Hull: Myhill, Mendy, Turner, Zayatte, Ricketts, Garcia, Ashbee, Boateng, Geovanni, Barmby, King. Sunderland: Fulop, Bardsley, Nosworthy, Ferdinand, Collins, Malbranque, Tainio, Richardson, Reid, Jones and Cisse.
    • 14:45 Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of today's game from the KC Stadium. Both sides come into the game buoyed from their exploits last weekend - SunderlandÂ’s 4-0 demolition of bottom club West Brom and Hull's more than credible 2-2 draw at Anfield.
