Full time at Loftus Road. A 0-0 draw more entertaining than the score suggests, and that's without considering Handshakegate... thanks for joining me this afternoon. Hit me up on Twitter if you want to discuss the match @liamhappe

Hosts surge forward and Cisse is fed inside the box! Shot attempt closed down!
90+2'
Now it's Ferdinand who pulls up. He leaves the field of play to get his right leg taped up. If he withdraws from the entire stoppage period his side will have to defend a man light with no subs.

Again the board shows three. Three minutes for a potential match-winning goal.
90'
Chelsea launch a slick one-touch counter from the corner which ends when Ramires tees up Lampard to blast over from 20 yards.
89'
Luiz times his leap excellently to head a Bosingwa cross out of the six-yard box before Zamora can pounce. QPR have the corner.
87'
Hosts send a central free-kick long into the Chelsea area but it's headed out of danger.

Hazard should have won the game there! Ivanovic inside the box from the right flank to Moses, who crosses low right into the Belgian's path but he skies his effort from 10 yards. Horrible miss.
85'
Again the contest is hushing down in the closing ten minutes of the half but it's the home side backing off more as Chelsea advance.
84'
Sturridge looking lively so far in his cameo but no final touch in the danger zone.
83'
Cesar makes his first real bad touch of his debut for QPR, slicing a kick-out for a Chelsea throw.
81'
Ramires brings the ball down yards from goal, but a certain conversion is stopped by the offside flag.

Torres cuts a disappointed figure as he comes off for Sturridge, storming straight down the tunnel. The Spaniard has not had a good game.

Chelsea break and Moses with a chance from an acute angle on the right and Cesar again parries well!

Nightmare back pass attempt from Mikel! Zamora is one-on-one with Cech! The keeper goes to ground but just gets a hand to it which delays the shot enough for a player to block it on the line!

And loyal tweeter @jonni_cash will get us started! "love him or hate him Terry is a trooper. Not my cup of tea but I still appreciate his bravadoness if there is such a word." Want to join in? Follow me on Twitter @liamhappe and have your say!

Doesn't look like Terry will be subbed off despite the tweak. Cue "brave" debate #1,076...

Good defending by Nelsen to stop Moses coming into the box from the right.
72'
Terry pulls up favouring his leg. The QPR fans rejoice and taunt mercilessly.
