Shawcross knocks the ball off the line from a Dzeko lob. Brilliant clearance on the line. And that whistle goes. A 1-1 draw with the last kick of the ball. Shawcross is the Stoke hero.

Brilliant save by Begovich to keep the ball out via a post from Silva's corner. Almost a late winner for City. Stoke so close to conceding.

We are into three minutes of time added on.

Edin Dzeko is given the nod to take over from Balotelli.

Changes coming here as Owen arrives to replace Crouch for these closing minutes.

Nasri almost provides the winner as his stinging shot from 25 yards is blocked by Begovich. Superb stop. Stoke almost paying the price for not defending properly.

Nasri takes a tumble into the box, but a clear dive by the Frenchman. Stoke looking very good for their point here.

Etherington sends a free-kick out wide into the box, but he overhits that by some distance as it flies out of play.

Adam departs to be replaced by Cameron for Stoke.

A strong spurt by Yaya Toure to slip the ball to Nasri. City trying to get find the winner, but Maicon overhits the intended pass for Silva. That is poor, poor returns it must be said.

A change coming for Stoke, but it looks like they are going to turn to USA international Geoff Cameron, who is likely to replace Adam.

Not sure Tony Pulis will bring on Michael Owen here with Stoke looking good for a point.

Clichy's cross narrowly fails to find Balotelli there. Decent delivery, but Stoke clear before Nasri fouls Whelan.

Maicon loses the ball after a hopeful charge, but he works back to deprive Etherington of it on the run.

Another poor cross by Adam this time can only land straight in the arms of Hart. That is easy pickings for City.

Kompany forced to pedal back to head clear the cross by Adam. Stoke piling bodies forward here.

Lescott eases the ball out of play. City can't get any real momentum into their play and that has suited Stoke in the second half.

Looked very little in that to be fair. A bit of contact, but nothing much. Balotelli back on his feet smiling before drilling a shot well wide of goal.

Balotelli is down on the ground clutching his face. Wilkinson's elbow came up. Not sure there was much force in that challenge.
