Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of Blackburn against Sunderland from Ewood Park.

Dann clips McClean with a late challenge. Free-kick chance for the visitors out wide.

Decent covering play by Hanley there. He is having a solid game at the back. Blackburn again collect the ball. Good possession stuff.

Gardner nips in ahead of Yakubu to hoist the ball up the park. Vaughan caught offside seconds later.

Steve Kean's 50th league match in charge of Rovers. But Blackburn haven’t won back to back league games since November 2010.

Blackburn get the second period off and running. All to play for at 0-0.

There goes the whistle for the break. 0-0 is probably about right. Join us for the second period after the interval.

One minute to be added to the half.

Not sure either keeper has had a save to make in this match. One goal may yet win this one.

O'Neill looks on with his arms folded from the side of the park. Looks like we're going to head for the break all square at 0-0 as Gardner handles in the Rovers half.

Sunderland with plenty of bodies back. Six men in the area when that cross come over.

Martin Olsson takes up a good position out wide, but he blazes the cross well wide of the goal. Poor delivery from him.

Blackburn have conceded more headed goals than any other team in the Premier League (12).

Larsson with the corner. Kyrgiakos couldn't connect with it as Blackburn survive that attack. Goalkick to the home team.

Bridge knocks the ball off Lowe for a corner to the visiting side.

Yakubu can't get the ball under control before McClean breaks for Sunderland seconds later. Sunderland in possession before Pedersen clears the danger.

Pedersen deemed to be guilty of bringing down Bendtner. Game really punctured by some sloppy passing movements.

Larsson with the corner seconds later, but Robinson is out quickly to snatch the delivery agin. Game starting to open up a bit here.

Campbell accepts a lovely ball from McClean, but Hanley makes a superb tackle to deny the visiting forward. Had to get that challenge spot on.

This match is wide open between two very even teams. Rovers marginally better with Sunderland not creating too many chances of their own.

Larsson tries an intricate pass through the middle, but nobody reads the pass as Robinson collects safely.

Pedersen tosses over the throw-in. Ball goes out seconds later for a goalkick to Sunderland.
