Full-time: Birmingham 2-1 Bolton. Birmingham hold on to secure a priceless victory in their bid for Premier League survivial.

It's attack after attack for Bolton now, and they win a corner through Sturridge's pulsating run... and, from that the striker cannot turn in Gary Cahill's downwards header and the ball goes out for a Birmingham goal-kick.

Excellent double save from Foster who first denies Davies with a point-blank save and then tips a Steinsson header from the resulting corner over his bar. A real defining moment
90'
Sturridge feeds Klasnic whose shot on the turn is charged down, as we enter four minutes of stoppage time.
89'
Not a lot of quality coming through the Bolton substitutes. It's just one long-ball after the other into the Birmingham box and they'll deal with them all day long.
87'
Kevin Davies flicks a header on, but no-one else reads it, and the ball travels through to Foster under little pressure.
85'
Daniel Sturridge claims that he was having his shirt pulled by Seb Larsson in the Blues penalty box as a Matty Taylor cross came in from the right. But, on closer inspection, it looked like Sturried was doing the same to Larsson.
82'
Matty Taylor whips in a corner, but it's that man Roger Johnson who comes to the Blues rescue again with an important header away from goal.

Excellent goal from Bolton to cut the arrears in half. A long-ball from Gretar Steinsson is chested down by Kevin Davies into the path of Johan Elmander who rifles home an unstoppable half-volley from just outside the box.

Birmingham sub: And that will be Carr's last action, as he is replaced by David Bentley for the final 20 minutes.
68'
Stephen Carr requires some treatment to his hamstring after tangling with Gary Cahill
65'
Ben Foster is on hand to save an effort from Tamir Cohen, following Elmander's cross. And that was Cohen's last contribution, as he was the player to make way for Lee.
