Play by play

  1. 96'

    As a special treat today, given the game is live on ESPN UK, we'll be streaming our Extra Time feature, when pundits Kevin Keegan and DJ Campbell will be analysing where the match was won and lost. Stay tuned for that at 3pm GMT (in 20 minutes).

  2. 96'

    <b>Full time</b> A cracking game and a great win for Bolton thanks to Lee's last-gasp winner. The Trotters are heading to Wembley!

  3. 96'

    Last chance for the home side...

  4. 95'

    Davies (M) hobbles off and I presume we will have an extra minute of stoppage time as a result.

  5. 94'

    Controversial. Robinson tries to back heel the ball out of play because Mark Davies is down but Parnaby gets there before it runs out of play and streaks away. The ref's whistle stops him in his tracks.

  6. 93'

    Birmingham pumping it long now as you'd expect.

  7. 92'

    So nearly an equaliser as Jerome gets to the byline and crosses, Phillips has his shot blocked then Holden clears.

  8. 91'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Petrov off and Matt Taylor on as four mins of extra time are announced.

  9. 90'

    A long ball from the back, Kevin Davies nods across goal after jumping higher than Beausejour and Lee nods it cutely into the corner.

  10. 90'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Lee's won it for Bolton!

  11. 88'

    Phillips, showing signs of tiredness, brings down Mark Davies. Free kick 35 yards out for Bolton.

  12. 87'

    Great ball in from Petrov and Holden was poised to nod the winner before Ridgewell cleared.

  13. 86'

    A thoroughly absorbing cup tie this has been. I doubt either fancies a replay though, least of all Birmingham given their precarious position in the league.

  14. 84'

    A better ball from Lee there and Mark Davies was in. Can we find a winner in seven minutes?

  15. 83'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Matt Derbyshire comes on for Birmingham and David Murphy comes off. A striker for a defender.

  16. 82'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Kevin Davies is booked, either for presistent fouling or back chat. Couldn't tell which.

  17. 81'

    The old man's still got it. That was a superb, instinctive finish. He didn't look at the net once, just angled the volley over the keeper from 20 yards and into the net.

  18. 80'

    What a beauty! Redmond glances the ball on and Phillips lunges at it to knock a perfect volley over Jaaskelainen and into the net!

  19. 80'

    <img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL</b> Phillips has equalised!

  20. 77'

    Larsson pumps a long ball into the box and Curtis Davies backs into Jaaskelainen.

  21. 75'

    Foster keeps Brimingham in it! A poor touch allowed Elmander in but the keeper blocks his shot, then as Bolton rebuild and Lee crosses the striker fires a volley right at Foster.

  22. 74'

    Birmingham looking a little leggy now. Have they got enough energy to haul themselves level again?

  23. 72'

    Great game now, end to end. Elmander charges into the box, tries to shoot, feeds Kevin Davies who tries to shoot, then he finds Lee who tries to cross but it is blocked.

  24. 70'

    <b>Phillips has hit the post!</b> A fierce effort from the veteran and Jaaskelainen gets a vital touch to divert the ball onto the upright.

  25. 69'

    Steinsson makes an important challenge as Redmond fed Beausejour inside the box.
