Morgan Schneiderlin looked to pull the strings early on when he found Adam Lallana, whose right-footed shot from outside the box was somehow saved at the bottom right corner of the goal.

Jack Cork was the next to threaten for the hosts when he picked up a corner from Steven Davis, but he couldn't keep his effort on target as it swerved wide of goal.

Steven Reid was the first to have a meaningful go for the Baggies and his effort didn't come until the 27th minute when he sent a direct free kick straight over the goal.

Rickie Lambert looked to give his side the lead going into the final 10 minutes of the half, however, his long-range effort was comfortably saved after he had been played into space by Jay Rodriguez.

Lambert was wasteful again right on the stroke of half time as he spooned his effort over the bar, having been found by Davis inside the box.
