Mad, mad end.

Hull should score. I’ve no idea how they haven’t.

James Husband makes a vital header to clear Jacob Greaves’ deep cross away from the back post.

Five minutes left to play.

Daniel Gretarsson and Callum Connolly on for Keshi Anderson and Josh Bowler.

Not long to go now. Let’s hope for no late drama.

Tom Eaves drills wide from the edge of the box for the away side. Little warning sign there.

Gary Madine wastes a golden chance on the counter-attack for Pool, delaying and delaying and eventually seeing his final ball intercepted.

Ryan Longman limps back onto the pitch for Hull after receiving treatment.

Tigers have already made all three subs.

78 - Another stoppage
