Birmingham 1 Doncaster 0 - live

Live updates from St Andrews as Birmingham take on promoted Doncaster in the Championship.

16.55: Final whistle. Another win for Blues but it was not convincing.

16.38: Mills heads wide for Doncaster. The visitors have done everything but score this afternoon. What should have been a comfortable win for the Blues, based on the form guide, has proved far more tricky.

16.30: Former Villa and Walsall striker Darren Byfield is on as sub for Doncaster.

16.19: Jerome shoots wide as he goes looking for a second.

16.12: Bent makes an immediate impact. From a free kick, Bent feeds Cameron Jerome who volleys home. Blues are lucky to be ahead but could go on to score more from here.

16.10: Second half is under way. Marcus Bent comes on for Phillips.

15.52: Doncaster have tried a few long range efforts. Half time. Time for Alex McLeish to rally his players. If I was Nafti, I might stay out of his way for a while.

15.40: James McFadden is on for Owusu-Abeyie.

15.27: Mehdi Nafti is sent off for a terrible two footed challenge on James Coppinger so Blues must see out the game with 10 men.
