51 - Awful officiating

That's dreadful officiating as Josh Bowler is clearly shoved to the floor. Happened right in front of the linesman but nothing is given.

Bizarre.

Josh Bowler dances past two challenges before curling just wide.

Marvin Ekpiteta makes a desperate attempt to block Josh Tymon’s left-wing cross, almost inadvertently guiding the ball into his own net. Thankfully Dan Grimshaw is there to claim.

We’re back underway

Sonny Carey gets the game back underway.

Dougall for Virtue confirmed.

Kenny Dougall stripped and ready to come on. Looks like Matty Virtue will make way.

Seasiders deservedly trail at the break. They're paying Stoke far too much respect by sitting off and inviting pressure.

Game will only end one way if it continues like this.

Pool win a corner as three minutes are added on at the end of the first-half.

Dan Grimshaw gets down to make the save from Jacob Brown.

Nowhere enough pressure being applied to the ball.

34 - GOAL STOKE (1-0)

Far too easy for the home side as Harry Clarke heads in unopposed at the back post from Josh Tymon’s left-wing cross.

All to do.

Let-off for Pool as Will Smallbone's close-range shot hits Rhys Williams and deflects over.
