FT: A point a piece here at London Road. Posh had a brilliant chance in the second half and the Seagulls cracked the woodwork twice, but neither side could find that finishing touch. However the point pushes Albion above Crystal Palace and into fourth as the play-off push continues.
90: Weaving run from Wayne Bridge who sees his his low strike deflect just wide. The corner is cleared and Albion relaunch another attack which sees them strike the bar for the second time tonight. Liam Bridcutt picks out Crofts with a cross but his diving header thunders off the bar.
77: A real chance for Peterborough. Tomlin again with the ball into the box and Rowe sides foot wide from six yards. Massive opportunity for Posh.
68: The London Road faithful are furious with referee Robert Madley. Tomlin does excellently to flick the ball over Upson and is through on goal, Crofts comes over to make a last ditch tackle and Tomlin goes over. But Madley waves play on signalling Crofts won the ball, much to the annoyance of the home fans.
59: Brilliant inviting ball across the goal from Dean Hammond just evades Leonardo Ulloa and Andrea Orlandi before Craig Alcock hacks the ball behind. From the resulting corner Upson again rises highest but his header drops wide.

39: Another corner brings another chance for Albion but Andrew Crofts header is always rising and drops over the bar.
24: Inches separate Albion and the lead. David Lopez's corner is met by the head of Matthew Upson who crashes a header off the underside of the bar, it bounces down on the line and is hacked away.
16: Some good possession from Albion but nothing clear cut as of yet for either side in a goalless opening.
