Half-Time Report: Alex Baptiste cancels out Kieran Lee opener as Blackburn, Sheff Wednesday level

Baptiste fires Blackburn level

Alex Baptiste's equaliser has sent Blackburn Rovers level with Sheffield Wednesday at half time of their Championship match at Ewood Park.

The visitors got off to the perfect start, after Kieran Lee prodded them into the lead after just three minutes as he capitalised on Jason Steel's unfortunate parry.

Striker Steve May broke the offside trap and latched on to a ball over the top and although his shot was saved, Lee put in the rebound.

It took promotion-chasing Blackburn just 13 minutes to respond through Baptiste, who charged from his own half to get on the end of a Jordan Rhodes header and bury the ball into the back of the net.

Rhodes came within inches of scoring himself when he glanced a Craig Conway cross towards goal, but it cannoned off the post after being seemingly destined for the top corner.
