Welcome to live text commentary of Stoke City versus Birmingham City from the Britannia Stadium.

PEEEP! PEEEEP! PEEEEEEEEEP!!! Told you it would be a cracker!! A dreadful first half was transformed into one of THE games of the season so far.

Final minute, final seconds....

The corner is taken short and Johnson is forced to put it out for a throw.

SUB FOR STOKE: Walters replaces Fuller

Fahey charges down the left. Ridgewell, Ferguson. Johnson puts it forward but it's cleared. Jones feeds Huth. Throw to Stoke. Delap to Fuller in the corner and he gets a corner. Somehow.

Larsson puts a cross from the right straight out for a goal kick.

There will be a minimum of five minutes additional time.

SUB FOR STOKE: Wilson replaces Etherington

Birmingham have a free-kick inside their own half after Delap's foul. Foster launches forward. Stoke clear for a Birmingham throw. But Ridgewell fudges it behind for a goal kick.

Zigic fouls Whitehead on halfway. Stoke take their time.

Alex McLeish looks stunned on the touchline.

It must be all or nothing for Birmingham now....

GOAL FOR STOKE!!! Carr fouls Fuller inside the Stoke half. Higginbottom takes. It falls to Fuller inside the box. He crosses, Ferguson sticks out a leg, it goes through Dann's legs to Whitehead who bundles it past Foster into the net. Great scenes!!!

CHANCE FOR BIRMINGHAM!! Gardner surges forward again and lets fly from 25 yards out. Begovic palms it over. Corner....cleared.

Both sides take a breather as Johnson receives treatment for a knock to the throat.

Ten minutes to go and it's all to play for. I love football.

What a turn of fortunes. Birmingham are everywhere....and so are Stoke - but not in a good way.

GOAL FOR BIRMINGHAM!!!! They can!!! A delicious cross from Larsson on the right and Jerome glances a header from 12 yards inside the far post. Great comeback. Now for a winner....

It's all Birmingham now. Can they come back from 2-0 down again?

GOAL FOR BIRMINGHAM!!! Higginbottom makes a hash of a headed clearance and it falls to Fahey. He takes a touch on his chest then fires a volley into the far corner from 15 yards out. Great strike.
