Hello everyone. Welcome to LIVE text commentary of this FA Cup quarter-final between Hull City and Sunderland. Team news to follow in a few moments...

Gus Poyet is very unhappy about the awarding of that yellow to Cattermole.

Cattermole catches Meyler late and is shown a yellow. Definitely not a yellow, but his reputation has earned him that.

Sunderland commit plenty of men forward to their attack but Larsson cannot deliver a quality cross for the waiting forwards.

Hull are playing like the away side here; allowing Sunderland plenty of the ball but then hitting them on the break.

Hull chance! Elmohamady whips in a superb cross from the right that Fryatt meets with a superb diving header, but he glances it just wide. Best chance of the match so far.

Sunderland launch a swift counter-attack from that Hull corner and win a free-kick 25 yards out - but it's dealth with by the home side.

The corner is batted away by Ustari to Aluko, whose shot is charged down on the edge of the box.

Cattermole is penalised for a foul on Aluko and Hull work it up the pitch an earn themselves a corner.

Another opening for Sunderland as Larsson cuts in from the left and has a go from distance but his shot is, well, awful.

Chance for Sunderland after a nice build-up. Giaccherini drives in from the right and finds Bardsley on the overlap. His drilled cross is met by Scocco, but the striker blazes his first-time shot over the bar.

Sunderland are starting to settle after that fast Hull start. Cattermole is beginning to have a greater influence in the middle.

Yellow shown to Huddlestone, who is late and high on Cattermole. Easy decision for the ref.

Opening for Sunderland but McGregor deals with it well.

Elmohamady whips in an early cross from the right to Fryatt, who wraps his foot around it but the shot is blocked by O'Shea.

Cattermole and Elmohamady come together and, despite the appeals of the home fans, the decision goes Sunderland's way.

Hull are beginning to dictate the pace of the game. Sunderland struggling a little to handle their intensity.

Aluko cuts in from the right but his low effort from 20 yards dribbles wide.

A heavy challenge by Dossena on Elmohamady isn't worthy of a yellow card, according to the ref. But Hull get the free-kick.

The Sunderland fans - all 4,000 of them - are making a real racket behind the goal their team are defending.

Hull keep the move alive but this time Ustari claims the cross from the right with ease.

Figueroa hits the bar! The defender didn't know much about it as he swung a cross in from the left, which sailed over Ustari and grazed the bar.
