A rare Newcastle attack down the right soon fizzles out. With around 60 seconds to go, it is looking as though the spoils will be shared.
90' +1

90'
Four minutes have been added on at the end of the game at St James' Park.
89'

87'
CLOSE! Antonio nods the ball on and it drops to Soucek around eight yards out. He tries to hook it into the top corner but is unable to find the target.
86'
West Ham are not happy with a point. They have led twice today and are looking the side more likely to snatch a late victory, as they did against Chelsea in midweek.
85'
SAVE! Yarmolenko flicks the ball into the feet of Soucek and it is quickly played back to him. He unleashes a fierce shot on target that Dubravka is equal to. It is all West Ham now.

A. Carroll enters the game and replaces Joelinton.
Carroll is on for Joelinton for the final 10 minutes. Can he make an impact against his former side?

77'
It is approaching the point in the game that the managers will be weighing up whether to stick or twist. Would this be an opportunity missed for West Ham if they fail to take all three points?
75'

Yarmolenko, West Ham's late match-winner against Chelsea in midweek, comes on for Fornals.
74'
Diop's header drops to the feet of Bentaleb 25 yards from goal. His first touch sets him up for a half-volley, which he is unable to keep down.
73'
The defending from both teams has been pretty poor today. It has made for a fairly decent contest, though, with four goals being scored so far at St James' Park. There's still plenty of time for a winner, too...

GOOOOAAAALLLL!!! NEWCASTLE 2-2 WEST HAM!! Well that didn't take long! Less than two minutes after falling behind, Newcastle level through Shelvey. He plays a one-two with Gayle in the box and, despite the angle being against him, picks out the far corner.

65'
T. Souček has scored a goal for West Ham United!

64'
Shelvey's corner is too close to Fabianski and the West Ham keeper gathers this latest set-piece delivery. With nearly 20 minutes of the second half played, there has yet to be a shot on target since the restart.
62'
Ogbonna catches Almiron on the shin with his studs, but there is no lasting damage. Shelvey's free-kick is collected by Fabianski.
61'
OVER! Shelvey is unable to control the ball when it is pinged into his feet. Almiron takes advantage of Shelvey's heavy touch by getting in a volley that flies over the crossbar.
59'
This second half is taking a long time to get going, in truth. Newcastle are currently in possession of the ball but are not exactly forcing the issue.
57'
M. Noble enters the game and replaces M. Lanzini.
Moyes makes his first change, with Noble coming on for Lanzini. Noble takes the captain's armband from Rice.
55'
There has been little between the sides since the restart. Neither team has managed a shot on target in the second half, in fact, as West Ham ready returning skipper Noble to come on.
51'
Antonio launches a long throw into the box and Diop loops it over the crossbar with his head.
50'
WAYWARD! Saint-Maximin lays it off for Almiron. The Paraguay international has time to set himself for the shot, but his attempt from 25 yards is well off target.
48'
Ogbonna slides in to cut out Krafth's cross for a corner. Nothing comes of Shelvey's set-piece, with Lascelles glancing a header wide.
47'
Bowen looks to barge his way through on goal but there are too many players to get past and he is dispossessed.
46'
RESTART! West Ham get us back up and running at St James' Park. Neither manager made any changes at the interval, so Saint-Maximin is clearly okay to continue for the time being.

32'

22'
Fabianski reads the danger well as he comes off his line to get to the ball ahead of Gayle. Like Antonio at the other end in the opening 15 minutes, Gayle is showing some good movement in the final third.
19'
Newcastle have been on top since their equaliser. A flurry of corners are sent into the box, the latest of which Fabianski makes a right mess of as he flaps at it. Thankfully for the West Ham goalkeeper, one of his team-mates gets to the loose ball first.
17'
M. Almirón has scored a goal for Newcastle United! Assist by E. Krafth.
GOOOOAAAAALLLL!!!! NEWCASTLE 1-1 WEST HAM!! The home side respond to the early setback with a well-worked equaliser.

Krafth held his run to take Saint-Maximin's pass in his stride and then fizzed in a low cross for Almiron to convert.
16'
Joelinton and Saint-Maximin, who have not been all that involved in the match so far, have swapped flanks.
15'

10'
GOOD EFFORT! Ogbonna pulls Gayle down around 20 yards from goal and Newcastle have a free-kick in a good position. Gayle stands over it and sends a sends a clever attempt under the wall. It takes a deflection but Fabianski adjusts his body to make the save.
4'
M. Antonio has scored a goal for West Ham United! Assist by J. Bowen.
GOOOOOAAAAALLLLL!!! NEWCASTLE 0-1 WEST HAM!! The visitors take an early lead thanks to some poor Newcastle defending. Bowen is played in down the right and sends a cross into the six-yard box. Lascelles misreads the direction of the ball and it runs through to Antonio, who blasts it past Dubravka from close range.
Fornals played in Bowen with a nice pass and the January signing teed up Antonio for the opener. Lascelles really should have cut out the cross, though.
3'
Lanzini is quickly on a loose pass and tries to slide it through for Antonio, but there is a breakdown in communication and Dubravka collects.

KICK-OFF! Newcastle, aiming to extend their five-match unbeaten league run, get us up and running in this second of four Premier League matches today.
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Premier League meeting between Newcastle United and West Ham at St James' Park.
West Ham had lost three league games in a row without scoring a goal prior to Wednesday's late 3-2 victory over London rivals Chelsea - Andriy Yarmolenko netting a last-minute winner for David Moyes' side. That victory lifted them into 16th place, three points above the relegation zone.
Subs: Valentino Lazaro, DeAndre Yedlin, Fabian Schar, Matthew Longstaff, Karl Darlow, Andy Carroll, Danny Rose, Nabil Bentaleb, Matt Ritchie.
NEWCASTLE XI (4-2-3-1): Martin Dubravka; Emil Krafth, Jamaal Lascelles (c), Federico Fernandez, Javier Manquillo; Jonjo Shelvey, Isaac Hayden; Allan Saint-Maximin, Miguel Almiron, Joelinton; Dwight Gayle.
WEST HAM XI (4-2-3-1): Lukasz Fabianski; Ryan Fredericks, Issa Diop, Angelo Ogbonna, Aaron Cresswell; Tomas Soucek, Declan Rice (c); Jarrod Bowen, Pablo Fornals, Manuel Lanzini; Michail Antonio.
Newcastle have been in good form since resuming their league campaign last month, collecting seven points from the nine on offer. Going further back, Wednesday's 4-1 victory over Bournemouth made it three wins and two draws for Steve Bruce's men in their last five top-flight matches, although they did lose to Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals during that run.
Subs: Arthur Masuaku, Mark Noble, Ben Johnson, Jack Wilshere, Xande Silva, Fabian Balbuena, Darren Randolph, Albian Ajeti, Andriy Yarmolenko.
The teams are coming out onto the pitch at St James' Park, with kick-off just moments away. This match will be played behind closed doors, as will every other Premier League game between now and the end of the season.
The home side lost Hayden to injury late in the first half and Saint-Maximin looks as though he may have to come off after picking up a knock. Bruce has four more substitutions available, but it would be a big blow to lose star man Saint-Maximin. As for Moyes, he has a full complement of subs to choose from, with Yarmolenko among his back-up options.
A first away point in eight away league matches for West United moves them four points clear of 18th-placed Aston Villa, who play their game in hand against champions Liverpool a little later on Sunday. As for Newcastle, they are now unbeaten in six top-flight matches and are up to 12th place.
That's all for today's live coverage. Thanks for joining!
