6 min: Bullard, making his home debut for Hull, shoots well over from 30 yards after being teed up by Altidore
8 min: Closer this time for the former England international as he checks inside before unleashing a powerful effort from a similar distance. This time Sorenson has to dive across his goal but the ball just flies the right side of the post.
11 min: First throw in for Delap and it is hacked into touch following a scramble
12 min: This throw is flicked back by Shawcross but nobody id on the edge of the 6-yard box and the ball is cleared. Fuller has a shot moments later that Duke spills and the ball is cleared by an alert defender
14 min: Shawcross catches Fagan with a tackle from behind and goes into the referee's book
19 min: Altidore drops deep to collect ball. Turn and shot from 25 yards but ball bobbles wide
20 min: Collins cross is headed down by Beattie. After striking defender it falls to Beattie again. He lays off to Etherington but shot is half blocked and loops into keepers arms
24 min: Etherington breaks clear and is cythed down by Mendy, who recieves a yellow card
25 min: Delap cross is touched by Fuller to Whitehead. Midfielder slices shot horribly wide

29 min: GOAL!! Etherington picks up a Shawcross through ball, races into the penalty area and smashes the ball past Duke to give the Potters the lead
32 min: Stoke free kick on the edge of the area is cleverly worked and nearly results in Fuller being put in. Whelan tapped it to Etherington, who shaped to shoot, who then laid it off to Beattie. The striker rolled the ball towards the 6-yard box but the Jamaican just couldn't get on the end of it
37 min: A spot of tennis in the Stoke area between the Potters defence and Garcia eventually see's the Australian find Altidore, but his header drifts wide
38 min: Stoke break from a corner with Sorenson finding Etherington. The scorer bombs forward before switching play for Whelan, who is in behind the defence. The Irishman just can't get hold of the ball and defenders recover to squeeze him out and clear the danger
41 min: Olofinjana spins Shawcross but rolls the ball behind everyone with the goal at his mercy
HT: The Potters have the lead, and probably deserve it. Whelan and Whitehead have struggled in the centre but Etherington is once again on fire and the sides main outlet.
48 min: Beattie fires free kick over from 25 yards
54 min: Superb football from Stoke as Etherington plays a 1-2 with Fuller before rolling the ball towards Beattie at the far post. The cross hits Gardner, spurts goalwards only for it to strike Duke and spin agonisingly wide with Beattie just not quick enough to pounce
56 min: Huth is dispossessed on half way, trying a Cruyff turn, and cynically hauls down Altidore to earn himself a yellow card
61 min: Kitson comes on for Beattie
62 min: GOAL!! Ex Stoke midfielder Olofinjana turns Whitehead before curling a shot into the top corner from 25 yards. Sorenson was unsighted and was unable to get to the shot as it looped over him and dropped under the bar
64 min: Whelan is booked for deliberate handball, a harsh decision, as he tried to get in on goal
66 min: Kitson nods to Fuller, who backheels into the run of Whitehead. The box-to-box midfielder is brought down on the edge of the box but referee says fair challenge.
67 min: Faye is booked after a bit of handbags with Barmby
70 min: Mass panic in the Stoke box as a long ball causes panic. Sorenson slides to meet but misses the ball, it got stuck under Fagan who, with Shawcross there putting him under pressure was forced to turn away from goal as he stood. Sorenson recovered and spread himself as the striker turned and shot, the ball flying over the bar.
81 min: Tuncay comes on for Fuller
83 min: Whelan dinks a free kick to Shawcross. The defender heads at goal and watches as the ball bounces off the crossbar
