Good afternoon and welcome to our LIVE text coverage of the second FA Cup semi-final! Bolton take on Stoke at 4pm (UK time) for the right to face Manchester City in the final of the oldest football competition in the world.

Etherington charges off down the left flank, but he's squeezed off the ball by two white shirts and Cahill emerges with the ball

Delap pings a typical bullet-throw into the Bolton box early on, and Jaaskelainen only just gets there ahead of Shawcross! The keeper's not happy, but the ball is clear

STAT: '3 - Only three teams in the history of the FA Cup have scored three goals in a semi-final match and lost, Liverpool, Fulham & Everton. Rare.' (Opta)

Welcome back for the second half! Owen Coyle makes a couple of necassary changes, then, with the disppointing Klasnic amongst the casualties. Mark Davies will presumably go into the midfield, with Elmander moving up top

BOLTON SUBS: Ivan Klasnic and Martin Petrov off, Matt Taylor and Mark Davies on

What did you think of the first 45 minutes of this FA Cup semi-final? Leave your comments below... We'll be back in a few moments for the second half!

HALF TIME! Sorensen leaps to catch a high ball forwards from Bolton, and the referee blows his whistle to bring and end to the half! The red half of the stadium roars at the referee's whistle, the white half has to make do with disgruntled silence

We'll have one minute's stoppage time in this half, and what a half it's been for Stoke! Never in Tony Pulis's wildest dreams would he have envisaged such a one-sided 45 minutes to an FA Cup semi-final, and Owen Coyle has his work cut out for him at half time!

Stoke try to attack along the right, now, but Andy Wilkinson concedes a sloppy foul on Petrov to bring an end to the move

Stoke look to break along the left wing, but Etherington loses control of the ball and it's out for a throw

Davies tries to swing a ball in from the right for Bolton, but Shawcross is there to clear

A terrifici ball is swept into the box for Whelan to chase, and the Stoke man rises highest to head across goal! Cahill is there for Bolton, though, and heads clear

Klasnic - who has had an afternoon to forget so fay today - launches into a late challenge on Glenn Whelan just inside Bolton's half, and concedes a free kick

Elmander finds Steinsson on the right, whose cross is deflected out for a throw deep in Stoke's half. Bolton will desperately want to get a goal back in this half, to give them any chance of getting back into this match

Pennant whips a ball towards Jones at the far post. Jones reaches it, but just can't get over the ball! It loops up into the air, and doesn't even come close to testing Jaaskelainen

Twelve years ago, Stoke manager Tony Pulis was in charge of Gillingham in the Division Two play-off final against Manchester City at Wembley. The Gills led 2-0 with two minutes left but conceded two goals and eventually lost on penalties. Can Bolton complete an even more unlikely comeback against Pulis's side today?

FACT! Bolton Wanderers played in the first ever FA Cup match at Wembley Stadium, the famous 'White Horse' FA Cup final in 1923.

Steinsson with the ball on the right for Bolton. He passes inside to Knight, as Bolton play keep-ball at the back

Walters finds Etherington wide left, and almost receives the ball back inside the box but Knight nicks in to hack it clear Only as far as Pennant though, who plays right to Jones who SHOOTS! Dragged just wide of the left post

That's three shots from Stoke, and three goals. Absolutely stunning! And there's Bolton fans heading for the exits already with little over half an hour played!

GOOOOAL! KENWYNE JONES MAKES IT THREE FOR STOKE! Pennant robs Petrov on the Stoke left inside his own half, and charges towards the Bolton penalty area. He slips a perfect ball through the defence for Jones at the far stick, who takes a touch and sends a calm shot inside the right post!
