Ballymena's Joel Thompson is booked for impeding James Teelan.

Will Patching steps up to curl the free-kick towards goal but is denied by a smart save from Swifts' keeper Alex Henderson.

It has been a rather scrappy start to the second half. Glentoran are bossing possession but are missing that little bit of quality in the final third.

Joel Cooper is brought down 25 yards from goal.

Free-kick in a promising position for Coleraine.

Ben Arthurs is brought down in the box by Kurtis Forsythe and Declan Hassan points to the spot for the second time this evening.

Forsythe is cautioned for the foul.

Bangor assistant coach John Douglas is shown a straight red card.

Ballymena striker Calvin McCurry is booked for a high foot on Baris Altintop.

We're back under way with the same 22 players who finished the first half.

A fantastic chance for the Inver Reds!

Sean Graham outmuscles Adebayo Fapetu before finding himself one-on-one with Peter Morrison. The former Ballymena United man shoots low, but the Reds stopper is quick off his line, getting down to block the ball with his feet and turn it behind for a corner.

Will Patching passes up an early chance to increase Coleraine's lead three minutes after the restart.

Joel Cooper finds the former Derry City midfielder at the back post but he blasts his volley high over the crossbar.

A bright start to the second half from the hosts. Rory Hale finds Michael Glynn out wide, but the winger's low, driven cross is too close to Rohan Ferguson, who gathers easily at his near post.

Back under way at the Oval.

The action resumes at Clandeboye Park.

Declan McManus gets us back under way at the Showgrounds.

No changes for either team at half-time.

We're back under way at Solitude for the second half.

I would imagine there have been a few honest conversations at half-time. I don't think Cliftonville have played particularly well, in possession they need to take care of the ball and out of possession they need to be connected more and apply more pressure up the pitch.

Jamie Glackin's acrobatic effort doubles Coleraine's advantage at the Showgrounds.

Coleraine's upcoming home against Linfield scheduled for Friday, 29 August has been moved to Sunday 31 August due to the Blues' involvement in the Uefa Conference League play-off round.
