Live updates from Blackpool's first away game of the season at Stoke City

Jerry Yates is inches away from Sonny Carey's volley across the face of goal.

Much better from the Seasiders.

Gary Madine is forced off with an early knock after going down injured.

The striker isn’t happy at all though and exchanges more than a few words with Michael Appleton as he walks off. It ends with a hand shake but the striker wasn’t happy at all.

Will Smallbone rattles Dan Grimshaw's crossbar from the edge of the box. Pool then somehow survive after a mad scramble.

Looks like Blackpool are going to be forced into an early change. Matty Virtue not happy with something.

Matty Virtue swings in a lovely cross towards Callum Connolly at the back post, but a Stoke defender just nips ahead to clear behind for another corner.

Gary Madine picks out Sonny Carey in space in the box but the midfielder delays before being crowded out.

Blackpool end up with a corner.

Dan Grimshaw saves at the second attempt from Dwight Gayle's low drilled effort.

Seasiders paying a bit too much respect to Stoke so far.

Dwight Gayle loses Marvin Ekpiteta with a clever bit of movement but the Blackpool defender recovers to clear behind for a corner.

Josh Bowler plays a lovely ball into Matty Virtue, who delays his pass before eventually picking out Gary Madine who is a yard or so offside.

After a couple of minutes with the physio, Callum Connolly is okay to continue and play resumes.
