Full-time All over at Upton Park as West Ham claim victory.
90 - Great save Schwarzer keeps the score at three, as he tips over a great effort from Lee Bowyer.
89 - Free-kick Boa Morte has a go from 30-yards but his free-kick flys just over the bar.
87 - Miss Terrible miss from Cole. West Ham again counter as Boro push forward but as the ball comes for Cole he somehow fires wide.
84 - Change Andrew Davies comes on for Boro replacing Taylor.
83 - Pressure Boro are still pushing forward and good work from Mido sees Green only just scramble the ball clear.
81 - Change Dean Ashton is give a standing ovation as he comes off and is replaced by Freddie Ljungberg.
79 - Change Etherington is brought off as Luis Boa Morte enters the game.
77 - Chance It should have been a debut goal as the ball comes for O'Neil in the six-yard box but the ball hits him and flys wide.
75 - Another miss Tuncay is again sent clear but again with only Green to beat he misses - the Turkish star should have had a hat-trick alone this half, very poor.
72 - Shot O'Neil has his first sight of goal for his new club but his shot is deflected wide.
70 - Pressure More good football from Boro as they refuse to give up and they force a corner, which West Ham scramble clear.
68 - Change Gary O'Neil comes on to make his Boro debut in place of Rabio Rochemback.
63 - GOAL! West Ham break clear and hit Boro with a counter-attack and it is Dean Ashton at the back post who fires home from close-range.
59 - Another miss Brilliant ball from Downing threads Tuncay through again but he cannot beat Green who deflects it wide - Boro could easily be level here.
58 - Wide Captain Lucas Neill fires wide for West Ham after a corner dropped to him 12-yards out, but he could not keep his shot down.
57 - Crossbar Great ball from Arca sends Tuncay clear and he beats Green with his lob, but the ball hits the bar and bounces clear - poor miss.
52 - Save Great save from Green as Downing's ball misses Tuncay and goes straight through on goal - but the England international pushes it wide.
51 - GOAL! Disaster for Boro as Luke Young puts through his own net, after he trys and intercepts Cole's cross to the back post.
46 - GOAL! Lee Bowyer puts West Ham ahead with a great strike as he races through and latches onto a Cole through ball before finding the back of the next.
46 - Kick-off West Ham get the second-half underway - neither side has made any further changes at the break.
Half-time The first-half comes to a close and it has been a highly entertaining contest so far with both sides looking to attack and perhaps Boro playing the better football.
45 - Wide Schwarzer punches a clearance from Cole which he did not need to do and he is way off his line as the ball drops for Noble, but the England Under-21 ace fires wide from the edge of the box.
44 - Down Andrew Taylor is down after being caught late by Lee Bowyer and the West Ham player is again fortunate to avoid a yellow card.
43 - Missing The quality has suddenly gone from the game as the slick passing present for most of the half has turned into aimless long balls from both sides.
37 - Counter Boro attack down the left at pace as Downing plays in Tuncay, Green parries and the ball comes for Arca - but great defending from Collins sees the ball fly over the bar.
30 - Change Aliadiere limps off holding his hamstring and Tuncay comes on.
29 - Stoppage The game is stopped as Aliadiere is down getting treatment and Tuncay Sanli is warming up ready to replace him.
28 - Chance Arca gives the ball away cheaply in his own half and West Ham attack, the ball comes for Ashton - whose shot is deflected wide and Boro manage to clear and counter through Boateng and Green needs to save at his near post from the Dutchman.
26 - Change Bellamy is withdrawn and goes straight down the tunnel with what must be an injury, and Carlton Cole comes on to replace him.
22 - Pressure Boro are enjoying some good play, with Fabio Rochemback finding George Boateng and the ball comes for Aliadiere but his shot is deflected into the hands of Green.
19 - Post Great play by Boro sees Mido play Jeremie Aliadiere through on goal but the Frenchman can only find the post when he should have scored.
16 - Pace A long ball over the top sees Bellamy race clear of the Boro defence but his attempted lob flys well wide.
14 - Disallowed Dean Ashton is sent clear by Craig Bellamy and finishes well - but he the assistant flags for offside and replays show it is a good decision.
13 - Lecture Steve Bennett gives Arca a stern telling off as he goes through the back of Hayden Mullins.
11 - Deflection Mark Noble has an effort at goal which deflects off Julio Arca and has Mark Schwarzer scrambling across his own goal - but it flys wide of the post to the relief of the Boro number one.
6 - Long-range David Wheater pushes on and with nobody closing him down trys a 30-yard shot, but it is well over Robert Green's bar.
5 - Corner First corner of the game comes for West Ham. James Collins meet the set-piece but the effort sails well wide.
4 - Attack Boro's first foray into the West Ham is a long ball up to mido but his flick-on goes behind for a goal-kick.
2 - Pressure West Ham enjoy the early pressure with Matthew Etherington trying to get the better of the Boro defence, but Jonathan Woodgate clears with a good challenge.
1 - Kick-off Boro get the game underway in their away colours of white and gold.
