Play by play
- 93'
Liverpool must somehow raise their game when they face Everton on Sunday if they are to have any chance of getting into the top four at Everton's expense. Blackburn move up to 14th and edge ever closer to security. Not great football by either side, but a great point for Rovers.

Thank you. It's all over and we'll never get that hour an a half back people. I'm sorry.
- 92'
Please blow the whistle.
- 91'
It has been an evening of terrible deadball play and no-one is more guilty than Pedersen who overhits, woefully, a freekick. Hughes shakes his head. Extra training for Pedersen methinks.
- 91'
Blackburn in no rush to speed things up - for them a point is good enough. The same cannot be said of Liverpool.
- 90'
Three minutes of added time is signalled. Please, God - why?

Remember when midweek, evening games at Anfield were exciting? This somewhat dilutes the memory.

If there is to be a winner now it will mask the fact that this has been shockingly dull stuff!
- 87'
Liverpool fans head for the exits as Blackburn overhit a freekick beyond Dudek's goal.
- 86'
Riise fires the ball into the wall on the second time of asking - what happened to players taking freekicks quick? Liverpool very lucky to get a second chance!
- 85'
Liverpool try to take it quick (Morientes hits the post) but the ref calls play back.
- 85'
Morientes wins a freekick from Nelsen - looked like the Spaniard was backing in, but the kick is given.

Finnan, this time further forward, works the ball to Morientes, but the ball is not controlled by the frontman
- 83'
Finnan fires a good ball into an isolated Morientes who, without support fails to hold up the ball
- 82'
Change for Liverpool - Igor Biscan on Warnock off.
- 81'
Mokoena and Hamman snap at one anothers heels. Hamman then tries to kick the ball loose once Mokoena had fallen to the floor, Mokoena to exception and squared up. A rare moment of excitment!
- 80'
Good work from young Gallagher - the lone front man makes his presence felt by troubling Gerrard in midfield.
- 78'
A poor touch from the technically gifted Morientes again illustrates how the ball hasn't quite dropped for Liverpool tonight.

Reid lashes a low shot at goal, Dudek dives but the driven effort was wide.

Freekick to Rovers after blatant shove by Carragher.

Morientes can't convert a difficult pass into a shot - he claims a handball from Todd which the ref ignores.
- 75'
Gerrard, quiet tonight by his standards, goes on a rampaging run which gets the crowd shouting. Momentarily. Silence follows.
- 74'
Fresh legs up front for Blackburn; Stead takes a seat on the bench and young Scottish striker Paul Gallagher comes on.
- 73'
Scrappy and untidy play sees Mokoena dribble the ball past three players whose stretched efforts at the ball left them on their backsides!
