3.50 The whistle goes for half-time at the JJB after a rough and ready 45 minutes.

3.21 FULL TIME It's all over for Fulham and they have earned a massive victory which puts them within three points of safety.
3.16 Quick break from Fulham, Davies feeds Eddie Johnson but the American fires over the bar.
3.10 Simon Davies misses a glorious chance to win the game for Fulham. A through ball deflects off Phil Neville and into the Welshman's path but the delicate chip he attempts is a disaster and the ball spoons off the side of his foot.
3.06 SENDING OFF!!! Wigan midfielder Jason Koumas has been shown a straight red card for what looked like an innoucuous challenge on Bolton's Gary Cahill.
3.00 And we're off at the JJB where Bolton have made nine changes from the understrength side which lost to Sporting Lisbon in the UEFA Cup.
2.55 GOAL!!! Simon Davies breaks down the left and his cross is met by Brian McBride who heads home. Such an important goal for Fulham.
2.52 Everton substitution: Leighton Baines on for Steven Pienaar.
2.51 A good Everton move sees Phil Neville of all people ghost in at the back post, but his shot is blocked by Paul Konchesky.
2.45 Everton have come out after the break in a far more positive manner and are probing the Fulham defence. Danny Murphy is the first player to be booked after bringing down Phil Neville.
2.35 Teasing free-kick from Mikael Arteta which Joleon Lescott just fails to reach, possibly because he was being pulled back by Brede Hangeland. Referee didn't see it like that though.
2.32 Off again at Craven Cottage and hopefully there will be some more action this half.
2.28 TEAMS:
Wigan: Kirkland, Melchiot, Boyce, Scharner, Edman, Valencia, Palacios, Brown, Koumas, Heskey, King. Subs: Pollitt, Taylor, Sibierski, Kilbane, Bramble.
Bolton: Al Habsi, Steinsson, Andrew O'Brien, Cahill, Gardner, Nolan, Campo, Cohen, Diouf, Davies, Taylor. Subs: Walker, Meite, McCann, Joey O'Brien, Rasiak.
Referee: Steve Tanner (Somerset)
2.17 The half-time whistle goes to an a half short on incident and chances.
2.14 Everton finally produce a worthwhile attack and inevitable Yakubu is involved. The Nigerian striker breaks into the box but his shot is pushed away by Kasey Keller.
2.06 Everton are struggling with the wind which is blowing into their faces, while the teeming rain is helping neither side.
1.54 Halfway through the first half and it's Fulham who are having most of the possession, however they've yet to really test the Everton defence.
Aerial challenge: Brian McBride and Phil Jagielka fight for the ball
1.45 Early change for Everton as Andy Johnson is forced off with a groin injury and is replaced by Tony Hibbert.
1.42 Another chance for Fulham as Brian McBride steers a testing volley wide.
1.38 Surging run from Fulham's Jimmy Bullard but he was off balanace when he hit his shot and Tim Howard was untroubled.
1.30 And we're off at Craven Cottage with both sides needing the points for very different reasons.
TEAMS
Fulham: Keller, Stalteri, Hughes, Hangeland, Konchesky, Andreasen, Bullard, Murphy, Davies, Johnson, McBride. Subs: Ricardo Batista, Volz, Bocanegra, Healy, Dempsey.
Everton: Howard, Neville, Jagielka, Yobo, Lescott, Carsley, Osman, Arteta, Pienaar, Johnson, Yakubu. Subs: Wessels, Hibbert, Baines, Nuno Valente, Rodwell.
