FULL-TIME!
West Ham are through to the fourth round where they will meet Doncaster Rovers on the weekend of January 23-24. Stockport were brilliant but ultimately it is the Hammers who are through on a wet night at Edgeley Park.
90+3'
Ogbonna wins the header before the follow up lands into the grateful arms of Randolph.
90+2'
West Ham look like they will see this out but it has been far from easy. Stockport have defended excellently for long periods in this match and have had some half chances to score... one last chance now as Hinchliffe lumps one up....
90'
FOUR minutes of added time. Can Stockport find a way to send this to extra-time?
87'
Stockport have a corner but West Ham clear. Stockport will not go down quietly that's for sure, but they are tiring.

GOAL! Finally West Ham score and it is Craig Dawson who gives West Ham a late lead with a textbook header and his first goal for the Hammers. A corner played short to Bowen is curled into the area for Dawson, who rises highest and thumps his header into the bottom corner! Surely that wraps this tie up!

SUB! Southam-Hales comes on for Jennings who has played very well this evening.
81'
CLOSE! Coufal's cross finds his compatriot Soucek at the near post, but his header flies wide!
80'
Cresswell attempts a driven pass to Antonio in the box but Kitching hacks it clear! West Ham are camped inside Stockport's half now.
78'
A looping ball into the area is missed by Hinchliffe but Stockport clear their lines. Stockport are tiring a bit now but they are giving it everything to stay in this tie. Bennett's hold-up play since his arrival in the 61st minute off the bench has been sensational.
75'
Just for a moment the goal is left empty by Hinchliffe as he accidentally passes the ball to Benrahma. The Algerian has a go from distance but his shot flies wide to the relief of Stockport's number one.
73'
SUB! A third West Ham switch sees Cresswell come on for Johnson.

Less than 20 minutes to go of normal time and we are still deadlocked. Remember the winner of this will face Doncaster in the fourth round. Should the winner of this beat the League One club they will set up a glamour fifth round tie against Manchester United or Liverpool. Plenty on the line here!

66'
Williams' cross in is not a problem for Randolph who collects it on his 50th appearance for the club.
CHANCE! Kitching's ball into the box finds Rooney. He tees up Bennett but his shot is blocked. Stockport are pushing up now and are playing with greater adventure and freedom.
64'
SHOT! Lenihan pegs the ball back for Jennings and he fires a low shot on goal inside the West Ham box, but Dawson stands in the way of it and makes the block.
62'
SUB! A change of strikers for Stockport as Bennett comes on for Reid.

The game is opening up a bit more now as Stockport sense a chance to strike. West Ham are continuing to pile men forward but are having little joy in attacking areas. Now that West Ham's left flank is completely sodden that does not seem to be an option for the Hammers.
56'
The pitch is well and truly sodden and the ball is not rolling properly, particularly on the left flank. Benrahma slips over on the wet surface and slides into the advertising hoardings. Noble bursts into the box but he is tackled before he can get into a one-on-one.
53'
Another Stockport corner which is disappointing and manager Gannon is visibly seething on the touchline. They have supposedly been working on set-pieces in training but that is not being reflected when it actually matters in this contest.
