I think Blues have started the second half so well, but Wolves look so dangerous when they break quickly.

Wolves win a free-kick in a promising position on the right. A good chance to get it in the mixer here.

And now Klarer is into the book.

Wolves midfielder Marshall Munetsi picks up the first yellow card of the afternoon after cynically pulling back Blues wide man Patrick Roberts on halfway. No complaints.

Birmingham have started the second half the better of the two sides you'd say.

But the Canadian's ball into the box on debut is easy enough for Nasser Djiga to deal with for Wolves.

No goals in the first five minutes of the half. What's happened to this game?

Wolves have the chance to launch a long throw into the box with Rodrigo Gomes but Blues clear.

It's not as frantic as the first half.

Yet...

I'm very surprised Blues have not got it out to this left-hand side yet and really tested Tchatchoua.

I think there's a real vulnerability about the Wolves defence as good as they've been and Blues need to sense that.

This is already the joint-highest scoring West Midlands derby between these two sides since 1996 when Wolves beat Birmingham City 3-2.

Surely we're on to match that number of goals this afternoon?

Wolves fans have been waxing lyrical about Fer Lopez this season and you can see why so far today.

The 22-year-old Spanish midfielder has had more touches than anyone else on the pitch.

He has been everywhere and has a goal to go with it.

It's been fast, frenetic and everything you'd want from a derby in a 45 minute spell.

And breathe.

Where to start with that first half?

Wolves led through Fer Lopez's close-range finish before Jay Stansfield hit a stunning half-volley to level things up.

The visitors regained the lead through Ladislav Krejci's bullet header but an awful backpass from Jackson Tchatchoua, which completely evaded goalkeeper Jose Sa, means Birmingham City are level at the break.

Wolves try to come forward down the right with Rodrigo Gomes but Christoph Klarer is across with a big challenge to take man and ball, much to the delight of the home support.

It's about as quiet as this game has been as we approach half-time. Both sides happy to get in and regroup after a madness of an opening 45 minutes?

Five minutes added on at the end of this first half.

And what a first half it has been.

Nasser Djiga is up and on his feet and will continue. But not before he steps off to the side of the pitch after getting treatment.
