"This wasn't in the script for the world champions! Arkadiusz Milik scores a lovely glancing header from a cross that leaves Manuel Neuer completely stranded. This is a different game now - and the National Stadium is a cauldron of noise."

It has been a quiet start to the second half, but Michael O'Neill makes his first change. He brings on Doncaster's Luke McCullough in place of first goalscorer Gareth McAuley.

Niall McGinn has one of the first shots on target in the second period, but he does not give his attempted dink another juice and it is easy for Gunnar Nielsen, the Faroe Islands goalkeeper.

Andrew Priestley:, external "There's a real buzz and feal-good factor surrounding Windsor Park and Northern Ireland at the moment. Believe."

Belfast boy in Cambridge: "It may only be the Faroes but the way we're playing is so encouraging. Great credit to Michael O'Neill. Let's put this one to bed early in the second half!"

Denver: "As a squad we actually look like we care about turning up and playing. Could just be Northern Ireland's turn."

We are back under way and, as John rightly says, the Windsor Park crowd is loving this. Will Northern Ireland score any more in the second half? Stay with us to find out.

John: "I know it's 'only' the Faroe Islands, but this is the best, most complete Northern Ireland team performance I can remember watching. You can only beat what is in front of you. Windsor is bouncing, great to see!"

Savour this Northern Ireland fans. As it stands, your team are going two points clear at the top of Group F.

Albania, who beat Portugal in the opening round of qualifiers, are at it again. This time they are 1-0 up against Denmark.

In Group F - that of Northern Ireland - Greece lead 1-0 in Finland, while world champions Germany are goalless in Poland in Group D, which is the home of Scotland and Republic of Ireland.

Meanwhile, in a friendly, Portugal are being beaten again, this time 1-0 by France, with Karim Benzema the scorer.

Northern Ireland fully deserve their lead at Windsor Park. They started superbly, going ahead in the first 10 minutes through Gareth McAuley's goal.

Kyle Lafferty, who scored in the 2-1 win against Hungary, doubled the lead for Michael O'Neill's side and the striker could have had more, but for some fine goalkeeping from Faroe Islands' Gunnar Nielsen.

But the job is still not finished, and Faroe Islands had a wonderful chance to pull a goal back from the penalty spot. However, an excellent one-handed save from 37-year-old goalkeeper Roy Carroll kept the score at 2-0.

"Germany really started to turn the screw at the end of that first half and debutant Karim Bellarabi could feasibly have had a hat-trick in the last 10 minutes, first slotting just wide from a tight angle and then twice having shots saved by Wojciech Szczesny. Add to that misses by Thomas Muller and Mats Hummels and Poland could have been going in well behind. As it is, they're still well in this match."

Andrew in Tandragee: "Let's not get carried away. It's the Faroe Islands we are playing."

Come on Andrew, enjoy it. Northern Ireland are playing wonderfully.

Oliver Norwood has never scored for Northern Ireland in his previous 18 international matches, well, he nearly gets his first goal in the last minute of the first half.

His well-struck 30-yard effort was a difficult one to stop, but Gunnar Nielsen does well to get two hands to the effort and parry it to safety.

But what a save from Roy Carroll. Frodi Benjaminsen strikes his penalty well but Carroll dives the correct way, to his left, throws up an arm and manages to divert the ball on to the post. The Northern Irish defence manage to scramble the ball away and the two-goal advantage remains.

A chance for Faroe Islands to get back into the game. Joan Edmundsson runs into the box but Shane Ferguson has a hold of his arm and pulls his opponent back. Edmundsson makes the most of it, but it was foolish of Ferguson to give the referee the option. Israel official Alon Yefet points to the spot...

Another lovely move from Northern Ireland. Jamie Ward sprints down the right ring and Kyle Lafferty times his jump perfectly to power a header at the Faroe Islands goal. But the attempt goes just wide. The keeper was nowhere near it so it would have been 3-0 if the attempt was on target.

Approaching the half-hour mark and Northern Ireland have completely dominated, as these match stats show.

Alasdair Lamont
BBC Sport in Warsaw

"Cagey sort of start to this match, with Germany having plenty of possession and Poland looking to hit them on the counter-attack. So far, that's meant neither keeper has had to make a save of any note. Mats Hummels probably had the best chance with a header at the back post but he didn't connect at all well. The crowd's just started a Mexican wave, which is never a good sign!"
