28'
Pedersen takes it... well off-target. Not one of his better efforts.
27'
Blackburn have a free-kick now, 30 yards out and just right of centre.
26'
Figueroa clears as Yakubu cross.
25'
Maloney's eventual cross sees Alcaraz concede a free-kick looking to meet it.
24'
Wigan work the corner short for possession.
23'
Moses absolutely ghosts through Dann and forces another Wigan corner. The winger is a handful in current form.
22'
Robinson does well to hold onto a driven cross from the right flank.
20'
The chicken from 7' is already on Twitter - @EwoodChicken...
19'
It's cleared by McArthur and Dunn has space for a shot... which flies over the crossbar.
18'
Blackburn win a corner, their first of the match.
16'
Some good puns coming in. I cannot publish half of them, unfortunately! But kudos to George Hanlon (@GeoShow) for "A fowl in the penalty area. when will we bring in video technology?"
15'
Enjoy the Blackburn chicken? Here's more on sporting animals:
14'
Di Santo fires over the bar for the visitors.
12'
Givet is to the rescue again as Wigan look to move down that left wing once more.
11'
Yakubu chests a long ball down for Modeste to volley at goal from the right-hand corner of the area, and you know what? That wasn't far from a screamer of a goal. Took a wicked curve before fizzing just over the bar.
10'
We need some chicken jokes after that, I feel. Tweet your best Blackburn/Wigan chicken jokes to @liamhappe.
9'
Di Santo! Good parry from Robinson! The striker looks to get to the rebound but Givet slides it clear.
8'
Fittingly, Al Habsi makes the catch, and Yakubu makes sure the chicken is unharmed as a steward comes to escort the intruder off the premises. Bit of a Venky's dig there, for sure.
7'
Play is stopped six and a half minutes in. Why? Because a chicken is on the pitch. A chicken in a Blackburn Rovers cape. Don't you just love football?
6'
Beausejour drives in a ball from the left wing which Orr gets clear from his own goalmouth.
5'
And now Al Habsi has to leave his area to get another inviting ball clear, this one on the ground through the middle.
