Stephen Dobbie issues injury update after Blackpool's win at Birmingham City

CJ Hamilton is picked out in space down the left and the winger lofts up a ball towards the back post. Sonny Carey looks to have met it but defender Jordan James does well to head clear under pressure.

Andy Lyons is shown a yellow card for a foul on Lukas Jutkiewicz.

Jobe Bellingham heads just wide at the back post.

Two minutes added on.

HT: Birmingham 0-0 Blackpool

A real poor standard, this. Very flat on and off the pitch, so much so it feels like a pre-season friendly.

Very lacklustre.

Sonny Carey gets the game restarted. No half-time changes.

Jordan Thorniley makes an important block to deny Tahith Chong at the back post.

Blackpool have shown a bit more intent at the start of the season half, at least.

Sonny Carey with a lovely flick sets Morgan Rogers free inside the box. He plays the ball across the face of the six-yard box but no-one is there to tap it home.

Charlie Patino's volley deflects wide.

Seasiders finally showing a bit of intent here.

Birmingham are denied from barely a few yards out not once, but twice. First a Grimshaw save and then a superb Thorniley block.

Ian Poveda replaces Sonny Carey.
