Barton to take the free kick... headed clear by Gardner

Newcastle win a corner up the other end, as Kevin Nolan's shot is well blocked by Ferguson

Jose Enrique plays his way into trouble again though, and loses out to Martins on the left wing! Martins finds Zigic in the area, who turns and SHOOTS! SAVED BY HARPER! Cracking save by the Newcastle keeper - low to his right

Foster hoofs a long ball to the Newcastle box, which Coloccini again clears to Jose Enrique

The free kick is curled to the back stick by Larsson towards JOHNSON! HEADED WIDE! Glorious chance for Birmingham, who should be level

Fabricio Coloccini does well to nick the ball away from Larsson, before laying the ball off to Jose Enrique, who gives the ball away before conceding a foul on Larsson trying to win the ball back

Birmingham are setting up camp in Newcastle's half at the moment. Carr has the ball wide right, and playsa a quick one-two with Gardner before the ball is fired up the right wing for Larsson to chase

Well, this is massively improved from Birmingham. Carr plays forwards to Martins, who is shepherded off the ball by Mike Williamson

Gardner lifts a first-time ball across the Newcastle defence to Zigic! He's offside again!

Ridgewell holds the ball up under pressure inside the Newcaslte third, as Birmingham look to apply some pressure

Birmingham back on the ball, playing neat triangles in the middle despite the inhospitable conditions

Martins is booed by the travelling support as he gets involved in a decent spell for Birmingham, but Gardner's eventual header from another diagonal goes straight to a black and white shirt, and Gutierrez absolutely flies off along the left wing

Birmingham break down the attack, though, and Stephen Carr exchanges passes with Sebastian Larsson on the right

Gardner lifts a long ball forwards, which is shipped left to Bentley. Bentley reaches the byline and crosses! Calmly cleared by Tiote, and Newcastle can break!

Both sides enjoy a bit of head tennis in the middle of the park, before the ball is whipped from the right wing long to Zigic, who is again caught offside

Barry Ferguson passes out left to David Bentley, who is knocked off the ball by Barton. Typically combative start to the match from him, but it's another Birmingham free kick

The free kick is lofted long towards Liam Ridgewell, but he's caught offside. Birmingham look slightly clueless at the moment.
