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

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.

After CJ Hamilton’s first cross is blocked, the winger pulls the ball back to Josh Bowler who blazes high and wide from just inside the box.

The bobbly pitch is making things a bit difficult, but the Seasiders are still trying to do the right thing and keeping it on the deck.

Pool on top so far against a Reading side that appear happy to sit deep.

CJ Hamilton wins Blackpool a third corner of the game already. North Stand raises the noise levels once again.

Gary Madine nods it down to Jerry Yates, who's side-footed effort is well saved.
