Burki is booked for time wasting, but Dortmund are almost there!
90' +3
CRUCIAL INTERVENTION! Martinez gets high up the pitch as a target man as he joins the attack. He gets on the end of a long ball and flicks it on for Lewandowski, but the striker can't nudge it beyond Sokratis! Great stuff from the centre-half, but it's much ado about nothing in the end as Martinez is called for a foul in the air, albeit it was a late whistle.
90' +1
M. Ginter enters the game and replaces M. Reus.
Tuchel brings on some fresh legs in defence to try and help see this one out, as Matthias Ginter replaces Reus.
90'
The fourth official raises his board to indicate there will be an additional five minutes added on at the end of this match, which is met by a roar of approval from these home supporters.
88'
A clumsy foul on Vidal from Weigl awards Bayern a free-kick in a threatening area, just over 25 yards from goal, but they can't make anything of it! The clock is winding down on the hosts as they try and avoid losing their first DFB-Pokal match in 90 minutes since 2012.
86'
Douglas Costa enters the game and replaces F. Ribéry.
Bayern's final change of the night sees Douglas Costa replace Ribery.
84'
STAT: Bayern have won their last 10 DFB-Pokal matches, with their last defeat coming in the semi-finals against Dortmund at the Allianz Arena in 2015 on penalties.
82'
INCHES WIDE! Bayern's celebrations are short-lived as, for a brief moment, they looked to be level. The whole stadium collectively held their breath as Robben cut onto his left, that ever-dangerous left foot of his, and bent an effort towards the far post, but just failed to hit the target!
80'
C. Pulišić enters the game and replaces Ł. Piszczek.
Christian Pulisic is brought on for the final 10 minutes, replacing Piszczek.

79'
T. Müller enters the game and replaces Xabi Alonso.
Bayern's second change sees Thomas Muller replace the recently booked Alonso.
78'
Xabi Alonso gets yellow.
Alonso pounces on a loose touch from Dembele in the Dortmund area and goes down in search of a penalty, but the referee isn't having it and books the midfielder for simulation!
76'
STAT: Three of Dortmund’s last five DFB-Pokal matches have gone to penalties, winning two and losing one (to Bayern in last year’s final).
74'
O. Dembélé has scored a goal for Borussia Dortmund! Assist by M. Reus.
Assist Marco Reus
COMEBACK COMPLETE! What a remarkable match this has been! Clinical counter-attacking football from the visitors as they carve Bayern open! Reus is picked out in the centre, and lays off for Dembele in the right channel. Dembele cuts inside on his left, around Alaba, and places an exquisite strike off the underside of the bar and in!
73'
This match beckons for extra-time in Munich. These two sides are no strangers to playing 120 minutes in the cup, doing so when they square-off more often than not. One would expect the tempo to simmer down a bit as these players brace at least for the potential of another 30 minutes.
71'
Burki is called into action quickly as Bayern try and mount an immediate response. The keeper reacts well, however, getting his hands up to turn Ribery's effort aside, though the shot was a bit too central from the Frenchman.
69'
P. Aubameyang has scored a goal for Borussia Dortmund! Assist by O. Dembélé.
Dembele has been working hard tonight. That's a deserved assist.
AND THERE'S THE LEVELLER! Again, you could almost see that one building for a few minutes! At the end of some fine play on the ball, Dembele picks out a cheeky cross for Aubameyang, who heads into the empty net at the far post!
68'
Dortmund have taken the sting out of the match with a patient spell in possession. They're piecing together some calculated passes, like a lion in the bushes waiting to pounce on their prey. This is some encouraging possession for the visitors.
66'
STAT: Bayern have been outscored 4-3 in their last two home matches, after outscoring their opposition 29-2 in their previous six.
64'
END-TO-END ACTION! Burki's dreadful pass out from the back puts his side under unnecessary pressure, but he's bailed out by Bender, who blocks Robben's shot on the line, off the post and out! Dortmund break quickly the other way, but just can't get their passes right and they have to settle for a corner.
62'
J. Boateng enters the game and replaces M. Hummels.
Hummels goes off to a loud ovation as he's replaced for the final 30 minutes by Jerome Boateng.
60'
This match continues to be played at a high tempo. It's wonderfully stretched and delicately poised as we enter into the final 30 minutes. Cliche as it is, the next goal is absolutely vital in this match.
58'
BAYERN DENIED A THIRD! For a man of his age, Robben almost defies all logic, common sense and science. He sprints impressively beyond two defenders to get through on goal, but his attempted chip at the near post is craftily dealt with by Burki!
56'
Vital from Hummels! A brilliant piece of defending, that, from the Bayern centre-half, who gets the timing and accuracy perfect as he slides in to break up a threatening run from Dembele into the area, just as he was about to let fly.
54'
Dortmund are putting up a bit more of a fight here, digging deep to find their energy once again. They enjoy their first prolonged spell in attack in quite some time, but it's all rather contemplative at best. They simply aren't committing the bodies they need forward to get beyond this defence.
52'
STAT: The last three meetings between these sides in the DFB-Pokal have gone beyond 90 minutes (once extra-time, twice penalties).
50'
Bayern are in complete control of this match, as Dortmund struggle to get into any sort of rhythm. About all the visitors are doing at this point is absorbing pressure, posing no threat of their own on the break.
48'
Early chance for Bayern to widen their lead! You have to think that would have put this game to bed, even. Lewandowski again latches onto a throughball to get himself behind the defence, but his first touch is heavy and Burki is able to collect.
46'
E. Durm enters the game and replaces G. Castro.
Dortmund make one change at the break as Erik Durm replaces Castro.
Back underway in Munich!
45' +2
HALF-TIME: BAYERN 2-1 DORTMUND.
45' +1
CRUCIAL STOP FROM BURKI! Dortmund caught sleeping in defence as Lewandowski is slipped through behind them. The striker has the goal at his mercy and only the keeper to beat, but Burki closes down the angle and makes the save!
45'
There will be two minutes added on at the end of the first half.
43'
STAT: Dortmund have not scored more than a single goal in a match against Bayern in nine attempts, dating back to a 2-0 victory in the 2014 Super Cup.
41'
M. Hummels has scored a goal for Bayern Munich! Assist by F. Ribéry.
Ribery provides the assist.
FROM BEHIND, BAYERN LEAD! You could see that brewing - a fully deserved goal for the hosts. Alonso picks out a stunning ball over the top for Ribery, who squares for Hummels, and the centre-half stabs a first-time effort in at the near post! Easy on the eye, that.
39'
ALMOST A SECOND! Martinez come inches away from the rarest of doubles, again showing great determination to get on the end of a corner, but this time his off-balance header cannons off the bar and out! Bayern are really threatening to take the lead before the interval.
37'
FEARLESS BLOCK! Stunning piece of defending from Castro, who slides in with reckless abandon to turn Vidal's thunderous effort over the bar! That was some hit from the Chilean, on the end of a lovely pull-back from Lahm following a delightful one-two between him and Robben.
35'
Bayern are very much in the ascendency, looking brighter with each attack. Ribery and Lewandowski are very much coming into their own, doing a much better job of running into space, while their team-mate pick out some quality balls to send them in.
33'
The match has really opened up in the last 15 minutes, since Reus' opener. The flurry of attacking action is hopefully a harbinger of more goals to come, but this match is certainly living up to the hype between these Bundesliga powers and long-time rivals.
31'
A. Robben gets yellow.
Robben is booked for dissent in the build-up to the free-kick being taken.
JUST OVER! Guerreiro takes the free-kick in a hurry after the referee has a talk with the Bayern wall, and nearly catches Ulreich by surprise, but he can't pick out the top corner as his effort crashes onto the roof of the net!
30'
Dembele gets himself back in good graces as well, winning a free-kick in a threatening area after being tripped up by a combination of Alonso and Thiago. That was a fine piece of running from the forward, who looked like he had a point to prove there.
28'
Javi Martínez has scored a goal for Bayern Munich! Assist by Xabi Alonso.
Alonso provides the assist with a terrific delivery from the corner.
BAYERN PULL LEVEL! And wouldn't you know it, it's Martinez who atones for his earlier error! The centre-half rises highest to get on the end of a corner and bounce a header through the legs of a slow-to-react Burki and into the back of the net!
25'
O. Dembélé gets yellow.
Demebele tracks back with a full head of steam and slides into the back of Ribery. It looked as though he got the ball, but the referee is over in a flash to award Bayern a free-kick on the edge of the box and produce a yellow for the attacker. Bit harsh upon first glance.
23'
It's not necessarily a deserved lead for Dortmund, but it's not undeserved either. They haven't generated much of an attacking threat, but they have defended really well and picked their spots expertly to get forward - though that was a bit of a gift from Martinez.
21'
STAT: Dortmund had previously scored just two goals in their last five meetings with Bayern across all competitions.
19'
M. Reus has scored a goal for Borussia Dortmund!
DORTMUND SNATCH THE LEAD! Raphael Guerreiro does well to intercept Javi Martinez's poor backpass, before seeing his shot hit the upright via goalkeeper Sven Ulreich, but Marco Reus is on hand to tap the rebound into the empty net as Philipp Lahm is unable to get to it.
17'
Bayern are dominating possession here and have been for the greater part of the last 10 minutes. It seems as though Dortmund are content with sitting back and making them work for an opening, biding their time before hitting back on the break.
15'
Weigl is booked moments after his penalty scare for a late foul in midfield - the first yellow shown of the night, to the man in yellow.
14'
J. Weigl gets yellow.
13'
PENALTY SHOUTS DENIED! Ribery gets on the end of a well-worked move, but sees his shot blocked at the near post. The rebound comes out for Thiago who hits first-time, but it ricochets off Weigl and into his arm, which prompts a hopeful protest from Bayern, but the referee isn't interested.
11'
Bayern are having trouble negotiating an opening against this well-organised Dortmund defence. They have a good width about them, but the visitors have the bodies back to combat it. Lewandowski has yet to get himself involved much.
9'
STAT: Bayern are winless in four matches, across all competitions, for the first time since May 2015.
7'
Bayern reply with a good attack of their own. A free-kick whipped in from the left proves threatening and results in a corner. Martinez meets the subsequent delivery, but his header deflects behind for another corner, this one eventually nudged on towards goal by Thiago, but wide.
5'
First chance to Dortmund! Aubameyang gets behind his marker and on the end of a cross in from the left, but his first-time effort is knocked wide of the far post! Dortmund have started this match encouragingly.
3'
There's a good intensity to this match in the early stages, spurred on by the excellent energy packed into the Allianz Arena. Both sides have a point to prove tonight, which should make for some excellent viewing.
1'
AND THEY'RE OFF! Dortmund in yellow and black as they get the game underway, attacking left to right, with Bayern in red.
Hello and welcome to live coverage from the Allianz Arena of this DFB-Pokal semi-final as Bayern Munich host Borussia Dortmund!
Bayern are reeling at the moment, winless in four and out of the Champions League, but they can put all that in the past with a win tonight, as they aim to keep their hopes of a domestic double alive.
Die Roten are eight games up on second-place RB Leipzig with four games to go, so with the title all but wrapped up, their focus should be entirely on the cup – and with all due respect to finalists Eintracht, Bayern’s biggest opposition to the DFB-Pokal sits in front of them tonight.
This is something of a revenge game for Dortmund as well, losing in the final twice to Bayern in the last three years. Dortmund are actually runners-up three years in a row, so they will be desperate to get themselves over the hump, last winning the competition in 2012.
Dortmund have lofty aspirations of their own. Their title hopes were long ago dashed and their Champions League run cut short a week ago, so the last remaining hope for a trophy this season is the German Cup.
Carlo Ancelotti makes three changes from their draw with Mainz at the weekend. Philipp Lahm and Javi Martinez are brought into defence, while Xabi Alonso comes in to partner Arturo Vidal in the centre of midfield. Rafinha, Juan Bernat and Thomas Muller are dropped to the bench.
Thomas Tuchel makes four changes to his side from the victory over Gladbach at the weekend. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang comes in to lead the line, replacing Christian Pulisic. Julian Weigl is restored in midfield, while Lukasz Piszczek and Sokratis are brought into defence, at the expense of Matthias Ginter, Erik Durm and Nuri Sahin.
Marco Reus pounced on a rebound to give Dortmund the early lead, capitalising on a Javi Martinez error, but the Bayern centre-half redeemed himself shortly after, heading home from a corner. The equaliser seemed to spur Bayern on as they pushed the tempo and came close to an equaliser on several occasions, before Mats Hummels eventually put them deservedly in front on the end of a wonderfully worked move - and that's where we reside at the half.
That's all for our live coverage, thanks for following along. Goodbye!
An inspired second-half comeback, aided by goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ousmane Dembele, see Dortmund book their place in the DFB-Pokal final for a fourth year running! The visitors took the lead early through Marco Reus, but it was looking ominous for them at the break as Javi Martinez and Mats Hummels brought Bayern back to lead at the interval. To Dortmund's credit, they were able to persevere and turn on the style, extending Bayern's winless run to five matches.
