Coventry 1 Birmingham 0
Ex-Saddler Scott Dann scores in the second minute for the home side.
16.56: Final whistle. This could be a damaging result for Blues' promotion hopes. Birmingham fans - get those comments in using the form below.
16.55: Backs to the wall for Coventry as they repel the Blues pressure.
16.51: Credit to Coventry. They beat Wolves 2-1 and are five minutes of injury time away from another promotion hopeful scalp.
16.47: With three wins from the last 10 going in to today's game, Blues would have been hoping to turn the corner with a win. Reading are still 2-0 down at home.
16.42: Farce breaks out. Blues have the ball in the net but the flag was up. The Birmingham fans celebrate Sinclair's apparent goal. The Coventry fans celebrate the offside. Ref goes over to speak to the linesman then appears to point to the centre spot. Blues fans celebrate. Then the linesman lifts his flag again. And it is a free kick after all. Would like to see the video of that one.
16.38: Best breaks and tees up Henderson who cannot make the most of the chance, with the ball going out for a corner. Blues have little more than 10 minutes to find a goal.
16.31: Jerome makes way for Costly.
16.25: Fahey fires wide from the edge of the box, scuffing his shot. At the other end, Best sees his shot turned away by Maik Taylor.
16.14: Leon McKenzie is taken off injured for the home side.
16.10: Wolves are sitting pretty as Blues, underway in the second half, are behind and Reading are now 2-0 down at home to Bristol City.
15.50: Halftime.
15.49: David Bell misses a chance with the goal begging, sidefooting wide.
15.42: Westwood makes a top save from Larsson's free kick, pushing it away for a corner.
15.37: Lee Carsley goes off after an apparent knock. Bouazza is on. Lee Bowyer is booked for a foul committed as Coventry break with an opportunity to go two on one.
15.35: Reading go behind to Bristol City as Cameron Jerome has a decent effort for Blues.
15.29: Lee Carsley fires wide tamely from distance.
15.18: Seb Larsson carves out a chance but fires straight at the Sky Blues' keeper.
15.15: Blues are settling, quietening the home fans somewhat after a frenetic start.
15.10: Mid-table Coventry have put Blues under a great deal of pressure. Not going to be easy for Blues, this one.
15.03: Former Walsall player Scott Dann puts home side ahead. Not the start that Alex McLeish was looking for. Dann fires home following fellow ex-Saddler Daniel Fox's corner.
