Blackpool v Reading: Live match updates as Paul Ince returns to Bloomfield Road

CJ Hamilton pulls the ball back from the left to Josh Bowler...but Jerry Yates takes it off his feet and the chances goes to waste.

Pool do win a corner though.

Dan Grimshaw tips John Swift’s vicious free-kick over the bar.

Tom Ince then volleys well over from the resulting corner.

Tom Ince awarded a soft free-kick right on the edge of the Blackpool box. Potential danger here.

The tempo has just dropped off a fraction in the last 10 minutes or so.

The Reading keeper comes out to claim a cross but can only palm it to Marvin Ekpiteta, who lashes wide. There were bodies in the way anyway.

Tom Ince commits a foul on Dujon Sterling, which goes down well with the Blackpool fans.

Sterling has done a good job on the former Seasider.

Blackpool have started the second-half a little off the pace. The North Stand recognise this and raise the noise levels as a result.

Jordan Gabriel gives the ball away in a really poor position, but thankfully for Pool John Swift is unable to capitalise.

Sloppy again from the right-back.

Kenny Dougall gets the game restarted.

Come on you Pool!

Seasiders responded well after conceding a soft, soft goal. Reading dangerous in attack but not so great at the other end.

A better spectacle than Wednesday night in terms of action.

Marvin Ekpiteta scored Blackpool’s goal with his second in as many games.

There will be just one minute added on at the end of the first-half.

Ball almost drops kindly for Ince in the Blackpool box, but thankfully he can’t get it under control and the Seasiders clear.

Josh Bowler spins and shoots on his weaker right foot but it’s straight at Luke Southwood, who claims at the second attempt. Good effort.

Dujon Sterling times his challenge on Tom Ince absolutely perfectly just as it looked like the ball was going to fall kindly for the Reading winger on the edge of the box.

Tom Ince heavily booed as he takes a corner in front of the North Stand. Brave man.

It’s been coming!

Ekpiteta beats the keeper to a bouncing ball and heads over Southwood and into the back of the net.

Blackpool have responded superbly to the Reading goal.

Gary Madine meets CJ Hamilton’s wonderful cross only to be denied by a flying save from Luke Southwood.

Jordan Thorniley acrobatically hooks wide after a bit of pinball in the Reading box.

What a soft, soft goal.

Jordan Gabriel allows his man far too much space to pull the ball back to Lucas Joao, who has the simple task of slotting home from inside the six-yard box.

Reading’s first chance of the game and they score.
