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.

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!

Walters almost gets in ahead of Jaaskelainen, but the Finn moves off his line rapidly to smother the ball

The corner is lofted in... and again Stoke head clear. They're well set up to counter at the moment, and the ball is immediately fired up towards Jonathan Walters at the other end!

The ball is immediately hoofed back upfield by Bolton, and this time Davies wins a nailed-on corner from the frantically back-tracking Huth

Klasnic finds Robinson overlapping on the left wing, and Shawcross comes across with a sliding challenge. The ball goes out over the dead ball line, and Howard Webb gives a goal kick! Strange decision from the Yorkshireman

Steinsson reads a through-ball well to intercept ahead of Etherington, who has switched to the left wing and is lurking dangerously

The corner is swept into the box... and headed clear. Stoke's defence looks typically organised, early on

The ball is lofted into the Stoke box from the free kick... and headed behind for a corner by Jones. There's still far too much pushing and shoving in the penalty area at the moment, and Howard Webb gets involved to try and calm things down

Muamba and Huth go in for a 50-50 35 yards from the Stoke goal, and the German scythes through the Bolton midfielder with his studs up. Free kick Bolton, and he's very, very lucky to get away without a card for that!

Sorensen boots the ball long upfield, where Jones fails to bring it under control under pressure from Robinson. Bolton with another throw, deep on the right wing

Bolton win a series of throws on the left wing, but fail to make them count. The ball is eventually switched right towards Davies, who is penalised for a shove on Huth

Botlon are looking a bit shell-shocked here. They've been sloppy in possession early on, and I don't think they can quite believe that they're already two goals down!

It's getting a little bit scrappy now, as the ball cannons off Jermaine Pennant on the right wing for a Bolton throw

Etherington goes on a mazey run from the halfway line to the edge of the box, before clipping a lovely ball to the back stick with his left. Robinson deals with it well, though, chesting the ball to Jaaskelainen who holds onto it

Jaaskelainen really should have done better with that shot - it was close enough for the keeper to save but he was far too slow getting across

GOOOOAL! HUTH MAKES IT TWO FOR STOKE! A long throw from Delap is headed clear by Cahill, but only as far as Huth. The German hits the ball first time towards Jaaskelainen's left-hand post, and the veteran keeper can't claw the ball clear! 2-0 Stoke!

Etherington was 16/1 to score the opening goal at Wembley today, and I'd imagine there's a good few Stoke fans with slightly heavier wallets after watching their talismanic winger give them the lead here. The ball is swept in from the right for Stoke, but headed clear by Elmander

Steinsson with the ball on the left. He plays back to Knight, whose hoofed ball along the right flank is headed clear for a Bolton throw

FACT! Stoke City have won on all three previous visits to Wembley Stadium – 2-1 v Chelsea (1972 League Cup Final), 1-0 v Stockport County (1992 Autoglass Trophy Final) and 2-1 v Bristol City (2000 Auto Windscreens Shield Final).

Stoke play the ball across their back four, enjoying their new-found one-goal cushion

That's a stunning start for Stoke, who have never played in an FA Cup final! Bolton could have had a penalty already, and have looked the more settled team early on, but Stoke have stolen a march on them here
