28. The referee blows for half-time. Swansea will feel they should be leading. The Reading fans will want more from their side after the break.

29. 45

    The ball falls to Dyer 25 yards out and he fires high and wide. Nearly half-time.

30. 41

31. 34

    Chance for Reading! Kebe with time out wide and his cross is missed on the six yard box by the falling McAnuff and Tiendalli. Reading players appeal for a penalty but the referee waves away the protests.

    Jimmy Kebe is by far Reading's most lively player. Sky Bet have him down at 10/1 to score next. Why not take a look https://www.skybet.com/football/football-live/event/14723555

33. 30

    Chance for Swansea! Terrible mix up in the Reading defence and when the ball fell to Michu Swansea fans must have thought he was about to put their side one up. He didn't and stretched to poke the ball over the bar.

34. 29

    Kebe breaks and when the ball falls to Pogrebnyak in space his touch lets him down.

35. 27

    Two interesting styles. Swansea quite happy to pass the ball out from the back. Reading looking for Pogrebnyak whenever they get it.

36. 26

    Harte with another free-kick for Reading who aims again for Pearce but it's easy for Vorm. Far better from the home side though

37. 25

    Guthrie's free-kick aims for Pearce but he's flagged offside. Waste.

38. 24

    The home crowd really trying to motivate Reading. It could work. Williams fouls Pogrebnyak. Free-kick Reading

39. 21

    Swansea passing the ball for fun at the moment. Reading can't get near them.

40. 17

    Rare opportunity for Reading in the Swansea half. Harte's free-kick makes it's way to the back post but when the ball breaks to Kebe he slices wide.

41. 16

    Davies starting to get the better of Gunter down the left and then Michu is unlucky as his touch takes it out for a Reading goal kick

    Michu causing mayhem in the Reading defence. He finishes past Federici but was adjudged to have fouled Mariappa in the build up. No goal.

43. 12

    Two corners in quick succession for Swansea. Michu being very tightly marked and Reading have eventually cleared but they don't look comfortable at set pieces.

44. 11

    Swansea still having plenty of the ball. Reading can't string two passes together at the moment. Brian McDermott will not be happy with the start his side have made.

45. 8

    Ki blazes his free-kick over the bar from 30 yards after Leigertwood fouled Britton.

46. 7

    Swansea the better side thus far. Reading struggling to get out of their half.
