28'
Barkley pings the ball cross-field under pressure. The young midfielder has been called up to the England squad of course.
27'
Baines loses Connolly with a clever turn but his cross also fails to find an Everton shirt. The visitors need to be more clinical in the final third.
26'
Everton work the ball down the right but the cross from Coleman is too high. Pienaar picks it up but he too lacks accuracy and sees the ball bounce away off a red shirt.
25'
Baines whips in a free-kick and Mirallas leaps to meet the ball but can only direct his header off target.
24'
Cardiff try to release Campbell through the middle but Distin is equal to him in a sprint and that’s good defensive work by the Frenchman.
23'
Campbell lashes a shot over the bar for Cardiff but he is penalised, rightly, for offside.
22'
Everton work the ball infield through Pienaar but Jelavic takes the ball off the feet of Barkley when the youngster was perhaps better placed to take it on.
21'
The Cardiff fans are in full voice this afternoon. Sounds like a great atmosphere in South Wales.
20'
Stat from Infostrada: The last time the teams met in the league, Everton won 8-3 at home in the old Division One in April 1962.
19'
Howard picked that corner up so late and must have been inches away from keeping it out. Could have been one for goal-line technology had it been a bit closer.

CHANCE! It’s Whittingham with the corner from the other side and his wicked delivery threatens to sneak in for a goal before Howard claws at the ball to keep it out. Kim then fires off target.
16'
Bellamy with the delivery and it’s a dangerous one, but Osman flicks the ball out for another corner…
15'
Cardiff win a corner – they were fruitful against Man City…
14'
Medel allows the ball to run away from him in midfield and clatters into Osman when trying to win it back. However, it’s not a free-kick.

We have seen further replays of Bellamy’s elbow on Baines and it should have been a red. He made an aggressive swing at the Everton left-back.
12'
Bellamy looks to have skipped away from Pienaar and is furious to see Kim penalised for a foul on Distin just seconds beforehand.
11'
Everton find Fellaini from the corner but the Belgian tries to hold off his man and get a shot away instead of taking the obvious pass to Baines and Cardiff are able to resist.

CHANCE FOR EVERTON! Superb work from Pienaar as he plays in Barkley with a gorgeous pull-back and pass and the young midfielder takes it on before seeing his low effort deflect behind for a corner.
9'
Naughty. Replays show that Bellamy flung out an elbow at Baines. Meanwhile, Kim flashes a shot over the bar and wide.
8'
Bellamy has to go at full stretch to keep the ball in place before Matthew Connolly loses two men, only to be dispossessed by the sliding Baines.
