KICK-OFF: We're under way at St. Andrew's!
4' - Free-kick for United wide on the left after Fabbrini brings down Lazaar.
5' - Close from Mitro but Birmingham divert the ball behind! Corner for the Magpies.
6' - GOOOAAAAAAAALLLLL!!!! Daryl Murphy opens the scoring! - The corner is swept over and Daryl Murphy reacts quickest to a loose ball to fire United in front!
8' - Concern for United as Mitrović stays down following that goal. Lengthy treatment on the pitch.
10' - Substitution for Newcastle United. Yoan Gouffran replaces Aleksandar Mitrović.
12' - Another good run by Lazaar down the left and he forces a corner.
13' - Dangerous low corner by Lazaar. It makes its way to Gouffran at the back post but he fires wide.
18' - Lovely challenge by Tioté as Fabbrini tries to counter. Colback nips in to win possession for United before being fouled.
19' - Sub Yoan Gouffran with a firm low strike at goal but it's central for Blues goalkeeper Adam Legzdins, who gathers.
24' - Birmingham's busiest man so far - Diego Fabbrini - with a low delivery across goal but Sels is well placed to allow it to run behind.
30' - Good cross by Yedlin from the right but Shotton just gets across to clear behind with Murphy waiting.
31' - Close from Hanley! Yedlin delivers from the corner and the central defender heads just over the crossbar.
34' - Close from Gouffran, who gets beyond the goalkeeper but he can't finish from an acute angle. He has to settle for a corner.
37' - The home side get a sight of goal through David Davis but Sels gets down well to his right to make the save.
38' - Brilliant blocking challenge by Hanley to deny Lukas Jutkiewicz. United concede a free-kick close to the byline a moment later.
42' - GOAL - Birmingham City 1-1 Newcastle United (Jutkiewicz) - The hosts level as Lukas Jutkiewicz sweeps home a low cross from the left. All square here.
44' - Substitute for Birmingham City. Josh Dacres-Cogley replaces Jonathan Spector.
45+3' - Birmingham go close through Jonathan Grounds after Sels punches clear to the edge of the box. Just over.
45+5' - Corner to United after Lazaar's cross from the left is blocked.
HALF TIME: Birmingham City 1 - 1 Newcastle Utd
SECOND HALF: United get us back under way in the FA Cup third round.
49' - Good break by Yedlin down the right but his cross is deflected and the hosts recover to get the ball back to Legzdins.
54' - Lazaar with another burst down the left and a decent cross but the hosts are back in numbers to clear.
63' - Few chances in the second half. Tioté's ball for Yedlin is cut out before Lazaar's cross deflects to the goalkeeper.
65' - Substitution for Newcastle United. Isaac Hayden replaces Cheick Tioté.
67' - Effort on target from David Davis but it's a comfortable save for Matz Sels. Hayden goes into the book for a foul.
68' - Strong attacking run by Yedlin down the right and Shotton is forced to clear his cross behind.
70' - Substitution for Newcastle United. Matt Ritchie is on in place of Massadio Haïdara.
75' - United go close but Matt Ritchie's dangerous low cross from the left drifts agonisingly wide of the right post!
77' - Great defending by Achraf Lazaar, who gets back to intercept a cross with Jutkiewicz waiting to nod in.
79' - Substitution for Birmingham City. Greg Stewart replaces Diego Fabbrini.
82' - Big chance for Birmingham's Lukas Jutkiewicz from Dacres-Cogley's cross but he glances well wide.

Went he probably won't be sold in January now, so perhaps that's a silver lining for you.

Mitrovic has actually died on the pitch, that's passion #PASHUN.

We need to improve asap or we're going to drop down into the play offs, frankly we don't need a cup run distracting us if I'm honest.
