Half time
HALF TIME: Mike Riley brings a poor first-half to a close and there has been very little to talk about.
44
Tugay picks up the first booking of the game after a rash challenge on Jimmy Bullard.
44

40

39
Fulham win a corner but Santa Cruz clears the danger with a towering header.
38

37

35

32
The game is being littered with scrappy free-kicks and the game has become very stop-start.
29
The crowd are now trying to urge their sides forward but there is no drive coming from the centre of the park. Mark Hughes has had his substitutes warming up and he may start considering his options if this continues through to half-time.
27
Benni McCarthy gets behind the Fulham defence but is pulled back for offside.
25
Neither side seems able to retain possession and continue to gift the ball to each other in the centre of the park.
23
There is very little happening at the moment and both managers are on the edge of their technical areas trying to spark some life into their players.
21
The pitch is looking very heavy and looks a little boggy due to the masses of rain pouring down on it, but this is still no excuse for Fulham's sloppiness.
19
Blackburn are well on top at the moment but are just lacking the final ball, leaving them increasingly frustrated
16
Stephen Warnock curls an inviting cross into the danger area but his team-mates are too slow to react and do not connect with the ball.
14
Rovers are having a lot of joy down the flanks but Morten Gamst Pedersen and David Bentley have not yet been able to pick out their front-men with crosses.
11
Eddie Johnson is brought down in the box by Zurab Khizanishvili and appeals for a penalty, but Mike Riley waves away the protests.
9
Rovers break forward and the Fulham defence looks very disorganised. Tugay tries to pick out one of his strikers but his pass is poor and runs straight through to Keller.
7
The game has started with a very slow tempo but the crowd are livened up a little as Blackburn win the first corner of the game.
5
Rovers win a free-kick in a decent position but the delivery is poor and Eddie Johnson heads the ball clear.
4
It looks like Fulham may be taking a 'safety first' approach to this game, as Roy Hodgson will know that every point counts in the last ten games of the season.
Blackburn are enjoying an early spell of possession but have not threatened Kasey Keller as of yet.
Roy Hodgson makes three changes to the side that lost 3-0 to Manchester United, with Antti Niemi, Brian McBride and Maurice Volz making way for Kasey Keller, Leon Andreasen and Eddie Johnson respectively.
Awaiting Kickoff
The only to change to the Blackburn side that won at St. James' Park last week sees Tugay come in for Brett Emerton. David Dunn is passed fit for Mark Hughes' side but will start the game on the bench.
