Isaac Price whips the free-kick towards goal for the home side and Pierce Charles is down well to his left to parry it away.

That's the first shot on target in this match that has not produced a goal.

Gabriel Osho pings a ball over the entire Bolton squad and into the feet of Ollie Tanner, but the winger fails to control it, and it bounces out for a goal kick.

On another day he would have taken that down with ease.

Oooft.

R's sub Glen Kamara intercepts an Albion pass towards the area and then charges after the loose ball.

He's the first man in the book today.

Henrik Meister is taken away on a stretcher to applause from all sides of the ground.

The medical staff took a while to ensure the Derby forward's neck was stable before moving him.

Hopefully not too serious for the Danish forward.

Not much action at all with 50 minutes on the clock.

The late goals in the first half of this one mean that the last time these two teams met at The Hawthorns and it ended goalless was January 1985.

The last 0-0 between the two came at Loftus Road in April 2000.

In fact, Henrik Meister cannot continue.

Worryingly a stretcher is called for and the Danish striker's afternoon is over - another injury is not what Derby required.

Oscar Fraulo is his replacement which is not a like-for-like change so a bit of reorganisation required by John Eustace.

Treatment is still ongoing on the pitch for Meister so we have a lengthy stoppage at Pride Park.

Thierry Gale looks to make an instant impact for Bolton as he storms down the left wing, and whips a blistering ball into the box, just missing the feet of Theo Bair.

Bit of a delay in QPR getting back out to the field but they're here now and we're back under way.

Glen Kamara is on in midfield for the away side for Nicolas Madsen.

The R's have not changed kit at half-time so the kit clash remains.

Henrik Meister has taken a heavy blow at the start of this second half.

The Derby forward needs some lengthy treatment in his first home start

Steven Schumacher makes two attacking changes for Bolton as he brings on Thierry Gale, and hands a home debut to loanee Theo Bair.

Off comes Sam Dalby and Samuel Iling-Junior.

How is it going for your side in our early games?

Off we go for the second 45.

VERY strong words from David here.

The Rams have won just one of their opening six league games this season.

Birmingham will be more buoyed going in at half-time than the Rams.

Henrik Meister's been available when the ball's been played up to him but I want to see a bit more from it.

As the game got stretched and Birmingham came more into it we saw deficiencies in Derby.

Blues will be relieved to be in the game. Level at half-time, anyway.

They have had the better chances. They've not been bad at all.

For a long time it looked almost certain this would be level at the break and it is. But just not in the way that seemed most likely.

The R's took the lead through Chris Mepham's unfortunate own goal after 38 minutes in what was their first real foray forwards.

To their credit the home side bounced straight back and Callum Styles levelled with a quality low strike from the edge of the area.

A game which came to life in the closing five minutes of the first period.

Bobby Clark gave Derby the lead with their first shot on target after 40 minutes but 120 seconds later the visitors were level thanks to Carlos Vicente's second goal in two games with a thumping header.

Birmingham have had the better of things with August Priske having a goal disallowed for offside and Jay Stansfield seeing an effort cleared off the line by Sondre Langas.

It's half-time, and we're all-square.

Cardiff started the much better of the two sides and should have been ahead early doors, had it not been for the Bolton keeper Gavin Bazunu.

Yousef Salech looked guaranteed to score when he was found yards out from the goal, but when he got his header away Bazunu was there to tip over.

Bolton got into the game eventually and when Kyliane Dong was brought down by Nathan Trott it seemed as if the referee would award a penalty, but he said no and booked the winger.

Looking back on the replay...it looked like a fair call.
