Text Commentary:
1' May immediately put under the pump and sent it clear.
1' Great interception from Camara, caught the Baggies on the break but is closed down and the ball goes out for a Burnley throw-in.
2' Blake swings in a ball from long range and Hoult collects with ease, had plenty of time and space.
3' Little caught in posession, May eventually heads back cleverly to Jensen.
4' Blake finds Chadwick with a good ball down the right, eventually puts in a ball and it wasn't bad, but eludes Little flying in at the back stick.
4' Just at the moment, Branch down the left hand side and Little through the middle, that's an interesting one.
5' Cross in from the wide right for Johnson who was offside, but the ball went out for a goal-kick anyway.
5' Haas in very strongly on Blake after losing out to Branch, referee has strong words for the Baggies full back.
6' Long ball forward, dealt with by McGregor at the back and hooked clear on the left foot.
7' Moore chests it down for Blake but the Claret number 8 just closed out in the end.
7' Little receives the ball via Chadwick and fancied a shot, was blocked and then tried to feed a ball back to Chadwick but he couldn't collect the pass.
9' Jensen does well and puts a long ball for Moore with Horsfield applying some pressure.
10' Chadwick caught in posession by Chambers, Baggies come forward.
10' Offside claim by the Clarets, not given, real chance for Horsfield - Jensen makes the block, and a good save it was too from close range and the Baggies will be disappointed with that.
11' Johnson in strongly on Grant, but the referee opts to penalise Grant strangely - despite Grant coming away with it, poor decision by Nigel Miller.
12' Gaardsoe penalised for pushing Little.
13' Grant takes a bang to the head, he collided with Gregan - the referee forced to stop play. Flat on his back on the halfway line. He'll be alright though.
14' No Nay Never ringing out around the ground for the first time in a while, the crowd are up for it today.
15' May knocks the drop-ball back to Hoult in a sporting manner.
15' Gregan in some space, a ball for Horsfield and McGregor hastily screws it away for a corner. Comes to nothing, Darren Moore posing a threat though.
17' Grant in strongly diving in, didn't win the ball and going into the book - somewhat softly however,
Grant booked despite Robinson speaking on his behalf.
18' Camara on the by-line, trying to get a ball in he's spooned it high - Clarets eventually win a throw-in. Good run from Camara, interesting that Grant moved to left-back while Camara made the run.
20' Ball from Little to Blake cut out when the Clarets were in a good position.
21' Foul by D Moore on I Moore, Blake will take a shot here. Blake, shoots... oh and a good effort, bent it around but couldn't come back far enough and just shaved the post.
22' Speculative effort from Hulse from long range goes well over the bar.
23' Long ball forward by Hoult after Darren Moore appeared to be all over Ian Moore, nearly let Hulse in but the striker couldn't collect the ball.
24' Break for West Brom, here's Horsfield, another great chance, one on one here, great work from Jensen came and knocked it away with his body as the ball just eluded the Albion striker.
25' Clarets on a swift counter attack, ball in Branch just about gets on the end of it, corner. Ball in, May wins the header but it goes wide. Promising stuff, but an open game.
26' Chadwick with a chance to get a ball in, and he does, but it's poor - West Brom counter-attack.
26' Little fouled, just took a knock to the knee.
27' Hulse in terribly on his man - he's in real trouble here,
HE'S OFF! HULSE HAS BEEN SENT OFF!! Jumped into his man (McGregor?) with his elbow raised and seemed to be no question about it. Top scorer for Albion, and well - a real chance for Burnley now.
29' Roche working hard, battles back to win a ball he'd lost, then got caught. This is a niggling game.

38' Backpass! Darren Moore passed it back to Hoult, and he picked it up. Indirect free-kick, hit by Blake, came to nothing. Roche swung in a ball, McGregor headed wide. Decent effort from Macca.
40' Ball inside the box, bobbling all around - Grant tries a shot it was blocked, but possibly by hand, referee says play on. Comes to nothing.
