That's half-time as a tepid first-half comes to a close.

There will be one minute of added time.

Howson's forward ball is too heavy for Russell Martin and goes out for a Stoke goal kick.

Ruddy makes a fantastic close range save from Crouch! Crouch's initial header off a Shotton cross is blocked by the defender and he then hits a goalbound shot which is superbly stopped by Ruddy.

Shotton will get ready to launch another long throw into the box.

Naughton's long throw is held by Begovic who made a slight mess of it before claiming.

Good challenge by Whitbread and Norwich clear.

STAT: The Potters have posted the worst shooting accuracy in the Premier League, hitting the target with just 36% of attempts.

Naughton hacks the ball away as Stoke press but there is little quality for either team in attack. Walters has been the best of a bad bunch.

Johnson's free-kick into the box is easily claimed by Begovic.

He gets back onto his feet, gets away from his marker and fires well wide with his left foot.

Holt looks to be carrying a bit of an injury here after a challenge from Shawcross.

Johnson outmuscles Shotton and launches a long ball upfield that Begovic puts out of play.

The cross is over hit by Shotton and drifts out for a Norwich throw.

Walters is fouled by behind by Whitbread and Stoke have a free-kick.
