GOOOOAAAALLL!!!!! The Blades are back on terms!!! A Sheffield United corner is headed clear, and Lowe hammers a half-volley straight back towards goal.

Hello, and welcome to live coverage from this FA Cup quarter-final, as Championship sides Sheffield United and Blackburn Rovers compete for a place in the last four.
Iliman Ndiaye’s late winner saw the Blades defeat high-flying Premier League opponents Tottenham at Bramall Lane in the fifth round, and Paul Heckingbottom’s promotion-chasers face fellow Championship opposition with both just one game away from a Wembley semi-final.
Blackburn also triumphed over top-flight opposition in the last 16, defeating Leicester 2-1 at the King Power Stadium. In the Championship table, they’re just three places and nine points behind the Blades, and both clubs’ impressive seasons would be made even better by a trip to the Home of Football.
BLACKBURN ROVERS SUBS: Thomas Kaminski, Callum Brittain, Tayo Edun, Tyrhys Dolan, Scott Wharton, Jake Garrett, Ashley Phillips, Adam Wharton, Harry Leonard.
BLACKBURN ROVERS (4-2-3-1): Aynsley Pears; Joe Rankin-Costello, Hayden Carter, Dominic Hyam, Harry Pickering; Lewis Travis, Tyler Morton; Ryan Hedges, Sammie Szmodics, Ben Brereton-Diaz; Sam Gallagher.
SHEFFIELD UNITED SUBS: Adam Davies, John Fleck, Chris Basham, Billy Sharp, Oliver Norwood, Ismaila Coulibaly, Jayden Bogle, Oliver Arblaster, Daniel Jebbison.
SHEFFIELD UNITED (3-5-2): Wes Foderingham; Anel Ahmedhodzic, John Egan, Jack Robinson; George Baldock, Sander Berge, Tommy Doyle, James McAtee, Max Lowe; Iliman Ndiaye, Oliver McBurnie.
The teams head out onto the Bramall Lane pitch, and we're ready and raring to go ahead of kick-off!
The teams are back out for the second half, and with no replays from the fifth round onwards, this FA Cup tie must be settled in the next 45 minutes, otherwise it's extra-time and penalties at Bramall Lane!
That's all from us, we hope you enjoyed that fantastic cup tie as much as we did! We'll see you for the next game, bye for now.
That late 3-2 victory sends Sheffield United to Wembley, where they'll face any one of Brighton, Fulham, Grimsby, or Manchester's City or United. This season just gets better for the Blades, who also sit three points clear of third-placed Middlesbrough in the Championship promotion race. Blackburn are also firmly in that race, and following their FA Cup exit, Rovers will push on from fifth place as they seek a Premier League return of their own for the first time in 11 seasons.
The magic of the FA Cup, on full display at Bramall Lane! Tommy Doyle's injury-time winner sees Sheffield United into the semi-finals, where they'll line up at Wembley in five weeks' time following a pulsating 3-2 triumph over a valiant Blackburn. Rovers struck first in the second half with Gallagher again involved to set up Szmodics' breakaway finish, but back came the Blades in the latter stages. McBurnie snuck in an equaliser to set up a tetchy final 10 minutes, and Doyle hammered home the winner to send Paul Heckingbottom's side into the last four.
