Antonio Portales' goal appears to have been ruled out for offside...

An entertaining first half in Dingwall with plenty of chances and a goal apiece in a crucial bottom-six encounter.

Hearts have been the dominant force, but County struck first when Nohan Kenneh teed up Ronan Hale to hammer home.

Hearts continued to press before Lawrence Shankland levelled with a ruthless finish on the edge of the box.

Which way will the pendulum swing next?

It's been entertaining, with both keen to get forward, but the big talking point is Aberdeen's disallowed effort from Jeppe Okkels.

The goal was awarded and then overturned with Kevin Nisbet deemed to have handled just before Okkels pounced.

One question seems to be whether Nisbet was in fact impeded in that action.

A draw seems about right, but that incident will no doubt be a major point of debate.

Emmanuel Adegboyega is penalised for a coming together with Junior Hoilett and gives away a free-kick just inside the United half.

The visitors deal with the delivery into the box and clear the danger.

Chaos in the Hearts penalty box!

Akil Wright leaps to meet a deep cross at the back post, Alex Samuel and Jordan White tear after the looping ball, Nohan Kenneh flings a boot at it and somehow it winds up in goalkeeper Craig Gordon's paws.

Last-ditch defence from Hearts.

The chants of "Sack the Board" were coming loud and clear from the Hearts fans as their team were trailing in Dingwall.

All of a sudden, Lawrence Shanklands goal has them on their feet applauding the team!

Some signs of life, at last, from United who seem to have weathered that early Hibs storm. The match was threatening to completely run away from the visitors, but they've played a lot better in the last few minutes and are finally threatening the Hibs goal.

There's a bit pushing and shoving and Dundee centre-back Joe Shaughnessy is shown a yellow card for pulling striker Tony Watt to the ground.

Hearts spurn a glorious opportunity on the breakaway.

The visitors deal with a County corner and suddenly Lawrence Shankland is galloping clear.

Alan Forrest is steaming up in support, the captain's pass is perfectly weighted, but the winger blazes over the top.

You can sense an element of intent to get forward with both sides desperate for the win.

Aberdeen don't want daylight between themselves and Hibs, who lead Dundee United.

St Mirren want to retain a shot at Europe and must win.

There's not too much dilly-dallying on the ball, with both getting forward at every opportunity.

Ronan Hale's strike has imbued County with some confidence. They win a couple of corners and Akil Wright sees his back-post header deflected just wide.

Up the other end, Lawrence Shankland is on the prowl again, blasting a shot at Jordan Amissah before the home goalkeeper is quickly up to tip the rebound over the bar.

More terrible defending by United almost gifts Hibs a third.

It's a sloppy back pass from Declan Gallagher, who plays it straight to Martin Boyle and the Hibs forward should probably do better to get his shot off before it's sent behind for a corner.

I can see United manager Jim Goodwin way down below me, right at the edge of his technical area. Cream-coloured jumper matching his silver barnet. He must, however, be close to pulling that hair out at his side's lacklustre display so far.

His arms are folded. There may be a quiet chat coming at half-time.
