45+6'

Silva drifts wide to pick up a loose ball, before laying back to Kolarov, but his speculative shot from distance is straight at Foster.

45+5'

Foster is quick off his line to hoof clear.

45+4'

Man City launch a counter-attack but Birmingham get back in time to slow the break down and eventually stifle their opponents.

45+3'

Carr sends in a deep cross to the back post but it's head clear.

45+2'

Birmingham are threatening Man City with an aerial bombardment but the visitors are holding firm - for now.

45+1'

Kolarov is shown a yellow card for bringing down Bentley, who had skipped past the Man City man.

44'

There will be SEVEN minutes of added time!

43'

Birmingham look to have the wind in their sails, winning the physical battle in midfield without making an impact on the final third.

42'

Birmingham have scored more than once in only three of their 11 Premier League home matches before tonight this season.

41'

Birmingham put together a cleve free-kick routine which sees Ridgewell attempt to head the ball across go but it's intercepted and Man City clear.

40'

GOAL! Man City are back in front! Kolarov goes for goal from the free-kick and unleashes a superb left-footed strike into the far corner. Foster had no chance!

39'

Gardner clips Dzeko's heels to bring the Bosnian down and give Man City a free-kick on the edge of the hosts box.

38'

MAN CITY SUB: Just to confirm, the injured Richards has been replaced by Yaya Toure.

37'

Right then, we're back underway after that long stoppage. De Jong has been bandaged up and will soon rejoin play too.

34'

Richards looks like he's regained consciousness. He's on the stretcher so we should be back underway within a couple of minutes.

33'

There's blood streaming from De Jong's head too, but he's back to his feets. Richards, on the other hand, won't be playing any more part in this game. Kolo Toure is warming up but this stoppage will take some time while Richards is treated.

32'

Richards throws himself at the ball, clashing heads with De Jong. The physio is straight on the pitch and Richards is out cold!

31'

Gardner will take it this time... but shoots low, straight into the wall.

30'

Bentley embarks on another quick-footed wide run, forcing a foul from Barry to win another free-kick, this time on the right corner of the box.

29'

Tevez drifts half-a-yard offside, prompting the lino to raise his flag.

28'

Silva drives down the left flank and slips the ball back to Dzeko, who shoots on the spin but fires wide.
