FULL TIME! STOKE ARE HEADING INTO THE FA CUP FINAL! The Potters become the 43rd club to reach the showpiece of the world's oldest football competition, and the celebrations can begin for the red and white half of the stadium! Thanks for joining us
Wembley has descended into a cauldron of whistles as the Stoke fans demand full time! The corner is whipped in for Stoke, and headed clear
It doesn't look likely at the moment! Fuller is sent clear on the left, and he eventually wins a corner with a deflected cross. Bolton's defenders have just about given up!
There will be three minutes of stoppages, time for Bolton to grab a late consolation perhaps?
The Stoke winger gets a standing ovation from the half-full stadium, and he's also been voted the man-of-the-match. Dazzling performance from Matthew Etherington
STOKE SUB: Matthew Etherington off, Danny Pugh on
Cahill catches Fuller from behind with a desperate, outstretched boot, and concedes a free kick. The defender goes into the referee's book too, for good measure
There's more pushing and shoving going on in Stoke's penalty area for a corner, and Howard Webb gives a Stoke free kick
STOKE SUB: Kenwyne Jones off, Ricardo Fuller on
Kenwyne Jones goes down in a heap for Stoke, clutching his hamstring. He's about to go off, with Ricardo Fuller readying himself on the sidelines
This is the second-most one-sided semi-final in FA Cup history! You have to go all the way back to 1908 for Newcastle's 6-0 humbling of Fulham, which goes some way to illustrating how incredible a result this result is going to be for Stoke
GOOOAL! STOKE SCORE A FIFTH! Jones is sent clear on the right wing, and he sends a dangerous low ball square. It finds Walters at the back stick, and the journeyman fires home for his second and Stoke's fifth!
Pennant goes off then, and there's some concern for the winger on the Stoke bench. Bolton continue to struggle on the pitch, however, and they're creating absolutely nothing at the moment
STOKE SUB: Jermaine Pennant off, Dean Whitehead on
Pennant remains on the ground, but it doesn't look too seriously. A sore one, for the former Liverpool winger
Pennant turns cleverly on the ball in the middle of the pitch, and Robinson absolutely scythes him down from behind. Terrible tackle, and very deliberate. Yellow card for the Bolton defender, and Pennant stays down
That's the final roll of the dice for Owen Coyle, whose side have 15 minutes left to stage what would be one of the most stunning comebacks in FA Cup history
BOLTON SUB: Fabrice Muamba off, Rodrigo Moreno on
The corner is swept into the box... and headed clear. Bolton prepare their final change...
Knight pings a high ball into the box for Taylor, who chests down well before VOLLEYING ON THE TURN! PARRIED WIDE OF THE NEAR POST BY SORENSEN! Cracking effort, decent save. Bolton have a corner...
