Substitute Joe Thomson is the next to be cautioned.

Jonny Russell flicks a corner on for Frankie Hvid, whose glancing header goes just wide of the left hand post.

Both sides are upping the tempo here.

The ball is bobbling round the Glentoran box with Ryan Nolan eventually able to control the loose ball, but firing well off target.

James Singleton can't continue and is replaced by Charlie Lindsay.

Larne use the stoppage in play to make their first changes with Olatunde Bayode and Joe Thomson on for Mark Randall and Conor McKendry.

Larne 0-0 Glentoran

David Fisher collides with teammate James Singleton and Singleton is now receiving treatment.

That's the best chance of the half!

Danny Amos' delivery is cleared off the line by Sean Graham.

No one in a white shirt can control the rebound, which is eventually cleared.

Cammy Palmer is brought down by Ryan Nolan and Glentoran now have a free-kick in a dangerous position.

Another very tasty cross - it's great defending at the backpost with Jonathan Russell not allowing Mark Randell a clear header.

Conor McKendry's pass from the right wing is headed wide by Mark Randall, who was under pressure from Jonny Russell.

Off we go again!

No changes at the break.

A huge second half is about to get under way with Glentoran already out on the pitch.

I asked how you felt before the game but have your thoughts changed now we have played 45 minutes?

Who will win the County Antrim Shield?

Give this post a thumbs up if you think it'll be Glentoran and react the other way if Gary Haveron's side will make history and make it five in a row.

This time last year at the break, Larne were winning 1-0 thanks to Cian Bolger's goal on the 37th minute.

Just after the restart, Glentoran equalised through David Fisher.

We didn't see a goal in the opening 45 minutes, but will we see one at the start of the second half?

We still await the first goal of the game after 45 minutes.

Glentoran have had majority of the chances so far with Rohan Ferguson called into action a few times.

Cammy Palmer is back on his feet after receiving treatment.

Levi Ives is booked for a sliding tackle on Cammy Palmer.

The Glentoran fans aren't happy that that is just a yellow card. One to watch back.

The rain is absolutely hammering it down all of a sudden.

Just your typical evening in Northern Ireland I suppose!

Conor McKendry's persistence pays off as he puts pressure on Danny Amos, which gives Andy Ryan time to rob him of the ball.

The Scot travels forward before a great save from Andrew Mills denies his resulting strike.
