Leicester City made two changes from the side that was held to a draw at Brighton last Saturday
Ritchie De Laet was restored at right-back in place of Liam Moore, who dropped to the bench, and Chris Wood returned in attack against his former club, Birmingham City.
Ben Marshall, who also dropped out, was named among the substitutes.
3 min: Nathan Redmond beats Paul Konchesky and Michael Keane to get his cross in, which is helped back across goal by Shane Ferguson and falls for Wade Elliott but he can't direct his header on goal.
10 min: Morgaro Gomis pumps a high ball into the box and Nikola Zigic heads it on. Kasper Schmeichel has to punch clear under pressure from Ravel Morrison.
11 min: City break and the front-three combine superbly, David Nugent hits a fierce strike from 25 yards out that Jack Butland pushes away for a corner.
12 min: GOAL (1-0) Matty James sends in the corner, the Blues defence fail to deal with it and former City defender Curtis Davies heads it into his own goal under pressure from Wes Morgan.
21 min: Paul Robinson almost gifts City another as his back header falls for Jeff Schlupp but Jack Butland is out quickly to make a good save. David Nugent keeps the attack going and plays the ball into Schlupp again and he forces Butland into a second save.
23 min: James curls in another great corner and Michael Keane steams in but plants his header over the bar. It was a free header and a good chance for 2-0.
26 min: Andy King breaks superbly past the ageing legs of Robinson and gets into the box but Butland saves again.
28 min: Paul Caddis does well to skip past Nugent and pulls the ball back for Redmond, who again beats the City defence and tries to beat Schmeichel at his near post with the same result.
30 min: From another corner, Zigic gets a free header at the far post but he wastefully heads over the bar.
36 min: Nugent flashes a right-footed strike from an acute angle across goal and wide after Chris Wood's shot is deflected into his path. A great chance for City.
45+1 min: Both sides have created chances with Birmingham arguably shading the play, but it is City who go into the break with a vital lead.
H-T: City 1 Birmingham 0
53 min: Schlupp plays a great one-two with King and is in but Davies produces a great recovery tackle. From the corner, Schlupp heads just wide from James' cross.
55 min: Redmond is again causing all the problems and he finds Wade Elliott inside the box who has time to turn and shoot, but his curling effort is inches wide with Schmeichel beaten.
61 min: GOAL (1-1) Zigic scores the equaliser after a fantastic move involving Caddis and Ravel Morrison, Caddis squares the ball across the six-yard box and Zigic provides the simpliest of finishes. On the balance of play, the visitors deserve the equaliser.
63 min: City respond and King plays in Schlupp, who hammers a thunderous strike past Butland but it cannons off the top of the woodwork. Blues may have shaded possession, but City have created some great chances.
68 min: King again sets Schlupp clear on goal but he takes too long to set himself and shoot, which allows Robinson to get in a great tackle.
69 min: City change to a 4-4-2 with Lloyd Dyer replacing Danny Drinkwater. A positive change as a point is not enough for City.
75 min: GOAL (2-1) Schlupp rises superbly to head in James' corner. It might have been against the run of play, but Schlupp's determination is rewarded.
87 min: A let off for City as King almost turns the ball into his own net.
90 min: Nugent bundles into Wesley Thomas inside the City area and the referee points to the spot.
90+1 min: GOAL (2-2) Substitute Chris Burke beats Schmeichel, despite the City keeper guessing the right way and being agonisingly close.
F-T: City 2 Birmingham 2
