Now Vaughan is rolling around on the floor after a 50/50 challenge with Tyrone Thompson , for which the Torquay striker has been booked.
The Evesham keeper was clutching his face but the pain has mysteriously transferred itself to his leg. Now he's taking the goal kick, which should have been a corner.
And now Hands is rolling around in front of the Pop side.
This is really embarrassing now. Not even Drogba would have tried that one on.
Evesham are still in this, though.
Hay, who looks their best player, swings a cross in from the left in the 31st minute and only a full-stretch punch by Bevan keeps it from reaching Steve Lutz.
Steve Woods has now been booked for a foul on Hay.
Hay gives it the full Drogba with a slump to the floor, but the referee isn't particularly bothered and Hay is back on his feet again.
He's a good player, and doesn't need it.
Now Sills and Steve Hands are squaring up in the Evesham box.
The referee is having a word with the linesman and now tells Hands and Sills to pack it in.

GOAL GULLS 1 EVESHAM 0 28 MINS

Evesham break well in the 24th minute and force a free kick after our Captain's Blogger Chris Hargreaves hauls Hay down. Fitter hoists it into the box but the Robins can't make anything of it.
And at the other end Tim Sills puts us in front after 28 minutes, heading in from close range from a Nicholson corner from the right, forced after some great play from Carayol and Dsane.
That's Tim's 10th goal of the season.
There's very little FA Cup magic about this so far. We are agreed in the press box that this is our favourite day of the whole season, but there isn't much going on out there to quicken the pulse as yet.
We are in the 20th minute, and despite some Owen trickery out on the right for Evesham, they can't get into our box.
At the other end Carayol has just fired in a great left foot shot from the edge of the box which Vaughan has tipped round the post.
In the 13th minute Nicko has a Rory Delap moment, hurling a throw into the box from the left flank.
Sills gets a flick header to it, but Vaughan gathers easily.
Bevan has just launched a mighty kick downfield, and Vaughan was grateful to catch it cleanly under his crossbar.
Eight minutes gone and no score, and very little to write about.
Torquay are playing some neat football in the midfield playing towards the Babbacombe End without making any real headway. Evesham, in red and white stripes, are defending well.
They have just attacked on the break but Danny Scheppel, whose two goals put Rushden out in the last round, has fired his shot high into the seats.

And we're off



Last of the pictures for today.
Hay looks lively and has just given Mansell a scare in the opening minute, but big Scott Bevan gathers the bouncing ball safely.
