Terry clears with his head, and an entertaining but goalless game comes to a close. Good fun.
90+5'
Walters wins a free-kick with an exaggerated dive... last chance, can Stoke nick it at the death?
90+5'
Flag up against Drogba, who goes flying into Woodgate - just seconds remaining.
90+4'
Drogba smacks the free-kick into the wall, then Ramires fires the rebound miles wide from getting on for 40 yards. Drogba has a go at Alex, who he thinks got in his way.
90+3'
Woodgate trips Drogba 25 yards out and this is another very dangerous free-kick. Alex fancies it, though whether Drogba will let him have a crack is debatable.
90+2'
Chelsea building ominously as Stoke back off them...
90+1'
FIVE MINUTES of added time to be played.

Chelsea: Yossi Benayoun comes on for Torres, who has played well today.
88'
With Delap off, Shotton takes over long throw duties. Cech is sprawled on the floor again, and this time he does win a free-kick.

To great acclaim, a yellow card is flourished in the direction of Frank Lampard. Considering some of what the ref has let go, the England midfielder might feel a little aggrieved.

Stoke: Ryan Shotton comes on for Kenwyne Jones.
85'
Alex blasts a long-range shot into the crowd as Fernand Torres is announced as the man of the match. I might have gone for Woodgate.
84'
Whitehead stands the ball up for Shawcross to attack, but Cech leaps highest to make a good claim.
83'
Ramires is left in a heap by Pugh... no foul says Halsey, who has done much to let the game flow. Maybe too much?
82'
Drogba gets the free-kick on target, but it is an easy save for Begovic.
82'
This from Infostrada: Didier Drogba has scored in 3 of the last 4 PL matches against Stoke, including the last two visits to the Britannia Stadium.
82'
Foul by Pugh, who trips Ramires 30 yards out, just to the left of centre. Drogba grabs the ball. Danger...
81'
Terry and Shawcross are giving it the full Greco-Roman in the Stoke box as Lampard prepares to deliver the free-kick... Halsey tells them to behave.
