The final whistle goes, and Spurs were literally hanging on in the last part of that second half, and Boro, after going behind, will be disapointed that, in the end, they couldn't claim all 3 points.
90
Yellow Card
Luke Young is booked for fouling Didier Zokora.
90
There will be four minutes of stoppage time to be played.
89
Mark Schwarzer drops the ball from a Spurs corner and Dawson, of all people, almost nicked a late goal.
86
Dawson is currently down and recieving treatment, and with the 6 substitues, there will no doubt be a fair amount of stoppage time to be played.
84
Spurs it seems, are trying to throw the game away here, Bent is isolated up front, and the midfield and defence have switched off, and Alves is now looking very dangerous.
82
Spurs have gone to sleep at the back after Boro have another golden chance to go ahead, Jeremie Aliadiere put the ball in and Alves' shot is saved, as is the rebound.
80
Alves was through on goal after he lost his marker Dawson, Radek Cerny gets the edge of his boot onto the shot, and it goes inches wide!
78
The 4th official has been very busy as all six subs have now been made, the last ten minutes sets to be an engaging affair.
76
Spurs have thrown on their expensive summer signing Bent, and with him, Keane and Berbatov on, Spurs are pushing forward for the win.
74
Substitution
Gary O'Neil is replaced by Sanli Tuncay.
73
Substitution
Aaron Lennon is replaced by Darren Bent.
70
Substitution
Da Silva Melo Gilberto replaces Pascal Chimbonda.
69
Goal
Downing scores! Downing hits a shot from range, however it did take a deflection off Jenas before hitting the back of the net.
67
Martins Afonso Alves shows good skill and hits a great curling shot that was blocked by Dawson.
65
Substitution
Fabio Rochemback comes on to replace Julio Arca.
63
Substitution
Adam Johnson replaces Jonathan Grounds.
60
Substitution
Tom Huddlestone replaces Steed Malbranque.
59
Berbatov shoots, and it hits the post! The ball took a slight deflection, and that was enough for Boro to escape.
57
Today represents a milestone of a day for Robbie Keane, who is making his 250th appearance for Spurs.
53
Lennon and Grounds battle for the ball in the corner of the pitch, the referee awards a goal-kick, much to the frustration of Berbatov.
49
Lennon clears the ball off the line from a Boro corner! And Spurs need to be careful as a single goal lead can easily be lost at any moment.
46
No changes at the break, and Boro have started the half well as they apply pressure in the Spurs box, but Chimbonda manages to clear the danger.
Second half
The second half begins, and Spurs will feel that if they can continue to play the same way they did in the first haf, that a home win is on the cards.
Half time
The whistle goes, and Spurs go into the break just ahead, Tottenham, however, have edged the first half and the scoreline does reflect that.
45
Just a single minute of stoppage time to be added.
44
Yellow Card
Julio Arca is booked for a foul on Dimitar Berbatov.
43
Keane and White Hart Lane cry for handball, but replays show that the ball actually hit David Wheater in the face.
42
Not long until the break, and Spurs will be looking to keep this lead and build on it in the second half.
38
The England manager is in the crowd for the game at the Lane today, and he will certainly be impressed by Jenas and Lennon so far.
35
Spurs seem to be taking control of the game since that goal, maybe to the extent where a second goal could perhaps mean game over.
32
Didier Zokora is denied a shot on goal from close range as the ball is just nipped off him after Berbatov crossed low.
29
Yellow Card
Emanuel Pogatetz is booked for a bad foul on Alan Hutton.
26
Own Goal
Grounds is unfortunate enough to put the ball into the back of his own net as Spurs go ahead. Berbatov and Jenas combined, and as the cross came in, Grounds re-directed the ball into the net.
22
Keane attempts a cheeky backheel pass to Lennon, however, the pass is just ahead of the midfielder, and that was unlucky for Spurs there.
19
Mark Schwarzer makes a good save from Jenas after he fires a shot off after beating 3 players, and Jenas has been instrumental in the game so far.
16
Pascal Chimbonda finds himself in space after good wing play from Jenas, however Chimbonda's cross into the box finds no-one.
12
Boro certainly had the upper hand in the opening stages, but Spurs have uped their game and the teams are more even now.
8
The free-kick fails to produce a chance, the opening stages of this game has certainly been bright.
7
Spurs break as lennon runs at pace down the right wing, but O'Neil fouls Lennon, and a free-kick is awarded in a dangerous area.
3
Jenas strikes a good effort on goal, and the ball flies just over the bar, a bright opening from both sides here.
2
Jeremie Aliadiere puts the ball into the back of the net, however Alves is in an offside position when the shot is struck, and the goal is disallowed.
Kickoff
The game kicks-off, the referee today is Mark Halsey, and the odds will be in Spurs' favour as Boro have failed to win at the Lane since 2002.
Awaiting Kickoff
Jonathan Grounds replaces Taylor and is the only change from the side that drew with Man United last weekend as Boro begin with: Schwarzer, Young, Wheater, Pogatetz, Grounds, O'Neil, Boateng, Arca, Downing, Aliadiere, Alves
Awaiting Kickoff
Tottenham begin with the same side that drew at Ewood Park as Robinson & O'Hara fail to recover from their respective injuries as Spurs start with: Cerny, Hutton, Dawson, Woodgate, Chimbonda, Lennon, Zokora, Jenas, Malbranque, Berbatov, Keane
