There corner drifts in but clears every head in the box and out for a throw in.

Etuhu fires a shot in and is cleared off the line, what late drama here!

There will be a minimum of THREE minutes added on at the end of the game.

Looks as though the Tigers want to bring on Richard Garcia late on here, probably just to waste a little bit of time.

Guess what? The corner is poor and easily dealt with by the Hull defence, it's obvious that the hosts need to work on set pieces.

Dempsey!! Oooh! That was close, a brilliant effort from the American and Duke has to tip the ball round for a corner!

Tick tock, tick tock, Roy Hodgson is looking very animated on the touchline as time is running out, he knows that his side should be leading here.

Kilbane floats in a ball, Zayatte gets up and heads towards goal, it bounces off the turf and wide! That was mighty close!

Manucho cleverly turns away from Murphy before unleashing another shot on goal but it flies over, he looks like he enjoys a shot on goal this lad!

Hull are receiving more and more of the ball late on here and for all of Fulham's dominance of the ball there is still time for Hull to snatch all the points here...

Square ball for Ashbee on the edge of the box, turning onto his left foot before scuffing his effort well wide of the Fulham goal.

Manucho gets a shot off straight away, on target but it was never really testing Schwarzer.

There have been so many corners tonight and they have all been either delivered poorly or the headers have been wasted and there have been culprits on both sides.

No...

Corner for Hull as Hangeland has to slide the ball out of touch, can the visitors make more of their set pieces than their hosts?

Craig Fagan tries to wriggle his way through for Hull, he can't go anywhere and has to play the ball across to Geovanni who plays the ball back to Fagan, he whips in a cross but Brede Hangeland gets up and heads clear.

It is looking likely that one goal is all that will be needed to win this game tonight and if I were a betting man my money would still be on Fulham but only just, they have been wasteful tonight on a number of occasions.

Zamora goes down under a very light challenge and Fulham have a free kick, it's been a very clean game so far though.

Bernard Mendy swings in a deep cross but Schwarzer reads it and is already there to collect the ball, very composed from a 'keeper who has had little to do tonight.

Zayatte is showing a bit of frustration here, he's played the ball 35 yards out and decides to smash a shot forwards but it's the worst of the night, flying high, wide and as they say, not at all handsomely into the crowd...

There's a lull in the match once more and time for a stat, Fulham have been shown the least number of cards in the Premier division this year and guess what, there is yet to be a card brandished again tonight.

Dempsey gets a bit of space 25 yards out and decides to have a pop, it's a wasteful effort though and ends up with the fans behind the goal.

The ball in once more is poor and Hull clear, it's hard to tell whether the delivery really is as bad as it looks or that Hull are defending well. Either way it's another chance gone begging...

Davies receives the ball on the right hand side from Murphy and strikes a shot across the face of goal, what a hit! Turner is back and clips the ball behind for a corner!

Fulham are under pressure for the first time in this match, Daniel Cousin has a chance here, breaking into the box but he blasts his strike way over the bar and into the Hammersmith End of Craven Cottage.

Konchesky takes the ball down with a great touch, hammers a shot towards goal and Duke once more has to pull of a wonder save, he's keeping Hull in this!

This has been a huge spell of pressure from the home fans and it seems to be only a matter of time before they take the lead, it's a funny game though football and anything could happen!

The ball comes in, Dempsey heads goalwards, the ball is cleared and then Johnson heads goalwards again and this time his effort is cleared off the line!

From absolutely nowhere, Dempsey unleashes a wonder strike and Duke has to clamber back to tip the shot over the bar, that was dipping in!

Dempsey hits the post! From close range on the left hand side the American hammers a shot which clatters back off the upright and it's been an exciting couple of minutes for the homse side.

Massive penalty claims from the home fans, Zamora looks as though he is being held in the box by Kilbane but nothing is given and Hull seem to have escaped here!

The stats can sometimes tell a false tale in football but the 10 shots on goal to one on target for Fulham tells a telling story, they must improve their shot on goal ratio if they are to earn a victory here tonight.

Hull once again have started this half poorly and if they continue to play this way and nick a point or more they will be more than happy, not sure whether manager Brown will be though!

The ball is swung into the box from the corner but once more it is cleared by the Hull defence who have actually played well tonight, much better than their attacking colleagues.

Long ball up from the back by Schwarzer, the ball falls to Johnson who smashes a great shot forward and Duke has to pull off a save, palming it out for a corner!

No changes that I can see from both sides after the break...

Chance for Fulham late on in the half, Johnson breaking into the box and firing in a low strike which flies just wide of Duke's goal, who has been by far the busier stopper so far here.

The ball is poor and cleared easily by Hull who are trying desperately to hold on here.

Davies smashes a ball forward and Turner heads behind for a corner but there are claims for a handball from the Fulham fans which are turned away by Mr Jones.

There will be a minimum of TWO minutes added on at the end of this first half.

Zamora races forward, turns on the ball and lofts one in for Davies who steadies himself before smashing a shot into the ground and over the bar, surely they will take the lead at some point?!

Dempsey plays a ball into the box but unfortunately it is delivered in between Davies and Zamora and the ball is cleared.

Coming towards the half way point in this match and Fulham will be the happier here so far and being a Chelsea fan it's hard to say but their fans are making the most noise so far tonight!

The stats for Hull are almost mirrored in contradiction with that of Fulham, there have been more goals in games involving the Tigers than any other, they have kept the fewest clean sheets and boast the highest average goals per game so far this year

Hull are really struggling to get into this match so far but their are some stats which are against Fulham notching a lead here, as they have scored fewer goals than any other Premier League team this season and also the most no score draws!

Etuhu is being urged to shoot at every opportunity from the home fans, this time he turns onto his right foot and unleashes a strike which skims about five yards wide of Duke's goal.

Zamora turns away from one defender but then turns in Kevin Kilbane who manages to clear the ball into touch, that was vital as the Fulham man looked to be making some room for a deadly cross...

The ball is played in but once more it is cleared by Hull. We all know how important set pieces can be in matches and tonight they may well be crucial.

Great run by Zamora down the right flank, the ball comes in from the striker and at the back post is Dempsey who cracks a shot goalwards and Ashbee has to get his body in the way of the ball to concede a corner!

We have official stats here in front of our monitors and at the moment it is showing that Fulham have had 72 per cent possession so far and they're breaking again...

Konchesky swings in a great ball for the run of Johnson who dives at the ball and sends his header just inches wide of the goal in front of the Hammersmith End...

Both midfield's are working hard and this is resulting in the game getting bogged down in the centre of the field at the moment, still and interesting encounter though.

The ball comes in and is headed high into the air by a Hull defender and then cleared...

The space opens up in front of Zamora who decides to hammer a shot forward, deflected out for a corner, I don't think it was on target anyway...

It's been an interesting opening to this match with both sides seemingly a little nervy but the chances are beginning to open up here.

Ball comes in but there is a push on Clint Dempsey and Fulham breathe a sigh of relief.

The corner is whipped in and Frenchman Daniel Cousin gets his head to the ball but his effort is touched on by a Fulham head and the visitors have another corner out on the right.

Paintsil gets his body in the way of a long range strike but the ball rolls out for a Hull corner, their first of the night.

The flag goes up on the far side as Ethuhu is caught offside out wide.

Davies touches the free kick to Konchesky who drives a shot straight at the Hull wall, poor effort.

Tonight would have been a chance for Jimmy Bullard to make an appearance against his old club but with injury Hull will once more have to battle without their club record signing.

Konchesky tries to swing the ball into the box from a short corner but the ball is cut out by Ian Ashbee who hammers the ball forward.

Kamil Zayatte gets his body in the way of a Andrew Johnson shot and Fulham have their first corner of the match.

Dickson Etuhu runs forward with the ball but Michael Turner is there to block his path and plays a cool ball back towards Matt Duke in the Hull goal.

Bpbby Zamora plays a one two this time with Murphy and gets the ball out of his feet, firing in a shot and that wasn't so far away!

Simon Davies plays a one two with Paul Konchesky who feeds Murphy but Hull cut out their attack and send the ball all the way back to Mark Schwarzer.

Fulham have had more of the ball early on but are yet to create a telling chance.

It's been a very measured start to this match from both sides, neither team are really looking to attack direct and are choosing to build possession early on.

Early on and you can tell that Hull are putting a man marker on Danny Murphy and it's stemming the flow of the hosts attack.

Bad boy Geovanni comes mightly close for Hull early on from a free kick, the Brazilan steps up and hits a rocket of a shot which swerves but at the last minute bends round the post. Great effort!
