WOLVES: Hahnemann, Zubar, Craddock (Capt), Berra, Elokobi, Mancienne, Jones, Edwards, Foley, Doyle, Ward. SUBS: Hennessey, Stearman, Ebanks-Blake, Halford, Iwelumo, Milijaš, Guedioura.
BLACKBURN: Robinson, Givet, Nelson (Capt), Roberts, Pederson, Nzonzi, Basturk, Olsson, Kalinic, Salgado, Jones SUBS: Brown, Dunn, Andrews, Hoilett, Di Santo, Linganzi, Jacobsen.
0: Twenty minutes to kick off and the team complete their pre-match warm-up. One change for Wolves today with the injured Matt Jarvis making way for Stephen Ward. For Blackburn, former Wolves midfielder Keith Andrews is on the bench.
0: Players in the huddle and ready to go. Referee was changed yesterday morning. Lee Probert diverted to Hull v Sunderland and Mark Clattenburg to Molineux.
0: Off and running.
2: Ward, playing in the advanced left role in place of Jarvis, tries to send Elokobi away but the ball carries too much weight and is out for a goal kick.
7: Quiet-ish opening although Wolves have had some decent possession. Pederson can certainly chuck a throw in for Blackburn and it needs Hahnemann to come and gather.
8: Elsewhere today it's already West Ham 0-1 Wigan.
9: Wolves might just have got away with one there. Ward collides with Salgado as the full back tries to turn inside. He makes the most of it but there was certainly contact.
10: "We shall not be moved" booming out from the South Bank.
11: And elsewhere, Hull 0-1 Sunderland.
16: Wolves fortunate there. Mancienne pushed aside in midfield and Rovers break. Fortunately the attempted cross from Basturk is too strong for Nzonzi who while in space at the far post can only stab the ball wide.
17: Wolvs now on the attack. Ward sends in a good cross which Edwards, at full stretch, heads back across goal but Blackburn manage to clear.
18: But now Blackburn hit the woodwork. Kalinic gets his head to Nzonzi's cross and it's almost slow motion as Hahnemann watches it bounce against the post.
22: Blackburn on the attack again with Nzonzi's head on the end of a long ball but that's more comfortable for Hahnemann to make a routine save.
26: Good move from Wolves. Superb control from Doyle to take down a crossfield pass on a sixpence and sends in a great cross. Edwards is coming in but it's a Blackburn head to put it out for a corner.
27: Jones sends in a good corner which Robinson punches away. It's back with Jones who takes a step inside before trying a shot from an acute angle which is into the side netting.
27: Straight to the other end though where Rovers are causing problems. Nzonzi involved again with a shot which Elokobi heads behind for a corner.
28: GOAL: 0-1. NELSEN. The visitors take the lead. Pedersen sends in an inswinger which is met by Nelson at the far post to prod home.
29: That's the first goal Wolves have conceded at home since Paul Scholes netted for Manchester United. But they now need to score a first since David Jones netted against Tottenham.
31: The Wolves crowd have responded to the setback and now so too do the team. Ward sends in a cross and Doyle rises above his man but heads the difficult chance over.
34: Spot of panic from another Blackburn corner but Hahnemann had been impeded and Wolves get the free kick.
37: Substitute Iwelumo getting a long talking-to from Terry Connor. Are we seeing an early change?
37: Ward sends over a low cross which Robinson takes well.
37: And here is the change, Iwelumo on for Edwards. No obvious signs of injury and Edwards hadn't done anything wrong so it's purely a tactical switch to go 4-4-2. Foley on right flank, Ward on left, with Jones and Mancienne in the middle.
41: Berra penalised for a shoving match with Roberts and referee Clattenburg wants a word.
41: Elsewhere Jimmy Bullard misses a penalty for Hull so still Hull 0-1 Sunderland. But with Burnley playing tomorrow, even though Wolves would be unlikely to be caught by Hull by these results, safety would still not be assured. For that Wolves need to win whatever happens elsewhere.
45: Ward does down under a challenge of Nzonzi after a decent run. Free kick for Wolves on the left just outside the area.
45: One minute added time to follow.
45+1: Foley to Jones who flicks the ball up and fires it in. Doyle's header goes towards the back post where from the tightest of angles Craddock volleys back across goal but wide.
HALF TIME: WOLVES 0-1 BLACKBURN
46: Great reception for Wolves and Blackburn's 1960 FA Cup squads during half time as Wolves lift the FA Cup once again.
46: Back underway. Switch for Blackburn with Dunn on for Basturk.
48: Mighty congested around the Blackburn penalty area as Iwelumo tries to tee up Doyle but the Irishman's shot is blocked.
52: Doyle fouled by Salgado 25 yards out.
53: Jones steps up and it's a great free kick but Robinson claws the ball around the post. Corner comes in but cleared.
53: Another great chance. Elokobi's long throw flicked on by Iwelumo and Craddock's fierce volley is just inches too high.
54: Very naughty studs-up challenge from Pederson on Zubar who needs treatment. Yellow card for the Blackburn man and the replays shows it could well have been a red.
55: Corner for Wolves and they go close. Givet directs the ball inadvertently towards his own goal but it's scrambled away, possibly off the line.
56: Another long throw causes panic as Robinson can't hold it but Iwelumo can't get enough power on the bouncing ball and Robinson gathers.
57: Switch for Blackburn as former Wolves man Andrews comes on for Kalinic. A few boos to start with but then applause from the Billy Wright Stand. Not sure why the boos to be honest, mainly from the South Bank.
60: Confusion between Hahnemann and Craddock with Roberts lurking. Craddock tries to bring the ball out, Hahnemann jumps on it, and referee Clattenburg rules it was a backpass. Bizarre.
61: Ball tapped to Andrews who fires over. Looks as if the kick was taken from just outside the area, which is even more bizarre!
65: All gone quiet now after the flurry of Wolves pressure. Looks like Milijaš about to enter the fray.
66: And indeed he is, the Serbian midfielder on for Mancienne. Plenty of culture in the Wolves midfield now.
68: Some jostling in the penalty area as a Blackburn corner comes in and Hahnemann appears to be nudged. But referee Clattenburg has got himself into a poor position and is unsighted and play goes on. Eventually Foley clears.
69: Now a free kick for Blackburn as Berra holds Roberts. Pedersen fires it in but straight into Hahnemann's midriff.
70: First sighter for Milijaš as he finds space but his 20-yard shot is just wide.
72: Jones' header headed back across goal by Berra but Craddock can't get the ball out of his feet to get a shot in.
75: Good chance for Doyle as he gets on the end of Jones' corner. But too much on the header and it's over the bar.
76: West Ham 2-2 Wigan now.
78: Good cross from Foley headed away and onto the left foot of Jones but his difficult volleyed effort is over.
79: Switch for Wolves with Ebanks-Blake on for Foley. Looks like Doyle will move to the right hand side. Great reception for Ebanks-Blake. Is this his day?
80: Almost didn't matter as Pederson gets on the end of Dunn's raking crossfield ball and lets fly with a half volley which Hahnemann parries away.
80: Andrews next to figure with an attacking run but his side-footed cross taken cleanly by Hahnemann.
81: GOAL: EBANKS-BLAKE 1-1. Yes it is his day!!!! Ebanks-Blake rises perfectly to meet Ward's cross and head into the bottom corner. First goal from open play in the Premier League and what a time.
84: West Ham 3-2 Wigan elsewhere. Wolves one goal from potential safety here.
85: Di Santo on for Roberts for Blackburn. Could still be a sting in the tail in this one at either end.
86: Ebanks-Blake got a taste for it now and swift turn on the edge of the box is followed by a powerful shot just over.
87: Milijaš brings down Dunn 30 yards out. This could be dangerous.
88: Pederson fires the free kick in but straight at Hahnemann.
89: "Wolves are staying up" is the cry from the South Bank. Not yet, not yet.
90: And Andrews almost puts Blackburn in front after a neat one-two after which he shoots against the outside of the post.
90: Crowd is 28, 967.
90: Three minutes added time to follow.
90+1: Boss McCarthy is like a caged tiger as Wolves give the ball away in midfield. Pedersen advances with a low shot which Hahnemann takes cleanly.
90+3: Full time and pitch invasion. Premature. Cannot secure safety today.
FULL TIME: WOLVES 1-1 BLACKBURN
