Yellow card for Molumby for a heavy challenge on Taylor. Freekick on the right mid0way into the half from Burrows. Over everyone and out of play.

Free header in the box for West Brom, It bounces around the box and Furlong is one who takes it down, looks like he hits it onto Kipre and it goes in.

Corner. First one without JCH on but it’s played short and Posh can head the ball in away easily. Posh can’t get out though and concede another one after Beevers and Burrows can’t stop another ball into the box.

Posh fail to defend the initial long throw but are bailed out by a couple of excellent blocks from Ollie Norburn. The latest of many blocks Posh have made this game.

West Brom bring on striker Callum Robinson for Clare at CB and Molumby replaces Phillips, who was playing out wide.

West Brom have dropped their level slightly, Posh have had an easier few minutes. Jack Marriott makes his return in place of JCH.

Posh still not keeping the ball up top. Benda keeps sending it up there with his long kicks but Posh can neve summon the quality on the ball. Szmodics is playing very deep.

Posh sub 69 mins 0-0

Szmodics on for Grant

Great chance. First corner of the half for West Brom and Bartley gets away from Norburn. The ball looks like it’s falling nicely for him but the ball skims off his head and the chance goes.
