90' +2
The fourth official indicates six minutes will be added to the end of the match for stoppages.
90'
Jimenez leaves a leg dangling and Billing intelligently takes the bait, falling over the striker while in possession to win a free-kick. The referee immediately blows his whistle and gives the visitors the set-piece, with Neto making his way up the pitch slowly to oversee it.
88'
Bournemouth are winning a succession of throw-ins down the right wing, with Smith finding both Rothwell and Semenyo before Wolves defenders poke it away and out for another. It’s playing perfectly into Cherries’ hands, with the hosts desperate to get the ball up the pitch for one more attack.
86'
Pablo Sarabia gets yellow.

Vina comes on to see out the final five minutes, with the injured Zemura coming off.

74'

73'

53'
Kilman switches play out to the right for Adama Traore, who again takes on and beats Zemura. The cross is a good one but Matheus Cunha fails to get decent contact to the ball, allowing Stephens to turn it behind for a corner.
51'
The goal is huge for Bournemouth, who have gone level with Everton as things stand on 19 points; one back of safety. Any change to the score in the Everton-Leeds match could affect the Cherries’ outlook after 23 games but for now it’s all positive for Gary O’Neil.

BOURNEMOUTH GO UP THE OTHER END AND SCORE! 1-0! The visitors keep possession following a throw-in high up the pitch and work it well just outside the penalty area, with Hamed Traore slipping Solanke through the defence.

48'

45' +1
HALF-TIME: WOLVES 0-0 BOURNEMOUTH.
45'
The fourth official indicates just one minute will be added to the end of the half for stoppages.
43'
With less than five minutes left in the half it will take something special if either side wishes to break the deadlock before the half. It's been a tight affair with most of the action occuring in midfield as the two sides struggle to test the opposition's goalkeepers with any regularity.
41'
Adama Traore tries his luck with a shot from the right corner of the penalty area but it’s a low, dribbling attempt that rolls comfortably into the arms of the goalkeeper.
39'
Moutinho sets Sarabia up for a first-time effort on goal from an acute angle but Neto gets down well to parry the shot, taking it out of harm’s way in the process.
36'
Traore fires Bournemouth’s first corner of the game into the near post but there’s only Matheus Cunha in the vicinity, with the striker eager to get the ball away from his penalty area.
34'
Neves plays a long pass over the top for Matheus Nunes, who had started his run from a very deep position. The midfielders look to catch Neto off-guard but the goalkeeper is alert to the danger, coming off his line quickly to meet the delivery at the top of his 18-yard box.
32'
The corner-kick count is racking up for Wolves, with Moutinho tasked with taking their seventh of the game. It’s a similarly poor effort to some of their earlier attempts, with the Portugal international finding only Hamed Traore - who clears his penalty area.
31'
Bueno’s fancy footwork opens up a bit of room ahead of Outtara but the full-back’s cross with his left foot is immediately rejected by the head of Senesi.
29'
P. Billing gets yellow.
Billing brings Adama Traore down 30 yards from goal, stopping a Wolves counter-attack. It's a yellow for the Bournemouth midfielder - the first of the game.
28'
Sarabia’s corner is taken to the near post, where Lerma rises highest to meet it. The clearance sets Bournemouth away on a counter-attack but Tavernier’s miscontrol of a Hamed Traore pass means the move breaks down prematurely.
26'
Sarabia hits a switch of play from left to right which appears to be sailing over the head of Adama Traore on the opposite flank. Somehow, the winger manages to leap in the air and bring it down with extremely impressive control, before bursting forward towards the byline. A cross eventually comes in towards Matheus Cunha but it’s Stephens who wins the battle.
24'
Neves goes down holding his head after Billing catches the Portugal international during a tussle for a throw-in. It’s a free-kick for Wolves deep in Bournemouth’s half, which the hosts take quick and short.
20'
Stephens gets in the way of Matheus Cunha cleverly to prevent a Wolves counter-attack, bringing the forward down in the process. It’s a cynical foul but not deemed worthy of a booking by the referee.
18'
Smith’s error allows Sarabia to win the ball back on the halfway line and advance a Wolves attack but Moutinho’s pass through for Adama Traore from the edge of the penalty area is hit with too much power, taking it beyond the line and out for a goal-kick.
17'
Ouattara looks to turn defence into attack after a Wolves throw-in leads to a change in possession but Matheus Nunes comes steaming back to take advantage of the winger’s heavy touch and win the ball.
15'
Sarabia looks to take full advantage of the ensuing set-piece but Sarabia sends his corner straight into the awaiting arms of Neto.
13'
Neves plays a leading pass for Adama Traore down the right, who uses a couple of stepovers to win space ahead of Zemura before firing in a low cross that’s blocked by the covering Senesi and put behind for a corner.
11'
Sarabia charges through Lerma and catches him on the chin with his shoulder, with the Bournemouth midfielder down requiring a bit of a check-up. He should be okay to continue but he is afforded a small break in play ahead of the free-kick deep in midfield.
9'
Wolves look to win the ball high up the pitch after a lovely passing move down the left breaks down but the referee is on the spot to blow his whistle for a Bournemouth free-kick, after Moutinho is judged to have used too much force on Billing.
7'
Moutinho’s corner from the left causes havoc in the Bournemouth penalty area, with Neto sending his punch straight against the back of a team-mate. Hamed Traore scrambles it off the line but both Senesi and Smith fail in their attempts to get the ball out of the penalty area, with Lerma finally cutting across to clear the danger.
6'
Neto comes well out of his penalty area to beat Adama Traore to Semedo’s pass, with the full-back playing his team-mate through onside. Nobody ever looks the favourite in a race against the pacey Wolves winger but the goalkeeper does just enough to get there first to put it out for a throw.
4'
Sarabia’s inswinging corner looks for Matheus Cunha but the striker’s touch is initially blocked by Stephens before Tavernier hooks it away over his shoulder.
2'
Neves threads a pass through to Sarabia inside the penalty area but the winger is unable to get his cross past Stephens, who manages to keep the ball in play and clear the danger.

Bournemouth get the match underway from the kick-off!
A come-from-behind victory last weekend gave Wolves back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time in 11 months and puts them five points ahead of the drop. Julen Lopetegui has now overseen seven league matches at the helm and has won four of those contests, keeping two clean sheets in the process.
Hello and welcome to our LIVE commentary of the Premier League fixture between Wolves and Bournemouth!
A very credible point at home to Newcastle last weekend puts Bournemouth just one spot back of safety, though the Cherries have failed to get a win in the league since a 3-0 thrashing of Everton in the final match before the World Cup pause; also the last time Gary O’Neil’s side scored more than once in a league contest.
BOURNEMOUTH SUBS: Jaidon Anthony, Ryan Fredericks, Antoine Semenyo, Chris Mepham, Ryan Christie, Kieffer Moore, Joe Rothwell, Mark Travers, Matias Vina.
BOURNEMOUTH XI (4-4-1-1): Neto; Adam Smith, Jack Stephens, Marcos Senesi, Jordan Zemura; Dango Ouattara, Jefferson Lerma, Philip Billing, Marcus Tavernier; Hamed Junior Traore; Dominic Solanke.
WOLVES SUBS: Raul Jimenez, Jonny, Daniel Bentley, Gomes, Diego Costa, Joseph Hodge, Rayan Ait Nouri, Daniel Podence, Nathan Collins.
WOLVES XI (4-2-3-1): Jose Sa; Hugo Bueno, Max Kilman, Craig Dawson, Nelson Semedo; Matheus Nunes, Ruben Neves; Adama Traore, Joao Moutinho, Pablo Sarabia; Matheus Cunha.
With 15 minutes to go before kick-off, let's take a look at how the two sides will be lining up - starting with our hosts!
Wolves certainly have options on the bench to change the game, with Ait Nouri and Podence certainly able to help provide some width. Matheus Cunha may also need replacing at some stage with his impact minimal, and Lopetegui is presented with two options: Costa or Jimenez. Bournemouth will also look to get the big striker on with Moore waiting for his opportunity. Anthony could also be in line for an appearance - having started the Cherries’ previous match against Newcastle.
That concludes our commentary of the Premier League fixture between Wolves and Bournemouth! We hope you’ve enjoyed it!
Wolves return to action on Friday, when they travel to play Fulham. Bournemouth get a week’s rest ahead of a tough test against Manchester City.
