  1. A better ball in this time from Robbie Brady and Marc Wilson climbs high - his header is firm but easy for Lukasz Fabianski to hold on to. That's a shot on target though. Ireland on top.

  2. Matic celebratesGetty Images

    The match in Portugal has sparked into life, with two goals in quick succession. Chelsea midfielder Nemanja Matic equalised for Serbia with a superb bicycle kick but the visitors weres level for just two minutes before Fabio Coentrao made it 2-1.

  3. Kamil Glik is down receiving treatment for Poland after an awkward landing, but he is able to continue. A hard man. Robbie Brady shoots and wins a corner via a block. Ireland dialling up the pressure.

  4. Robbie Brady takes, Robbie Brady fires over. His dead-ball delivery has been poor tonight.

  5. YELLOW CARD

    Walters is fouledReuters

    Ireland really do want Ian Harte out there now as they win a free-kick in the perfect range for the old left-back. Lukasz Szukala is booked for hauling down Jon Walters.

    Free-kick, 25 yards out, bang central...

  6. Do you want to tell Roy that he couldn't Ken?

    Poland sitting deep and soaking up plenty of Irish possession. Again - no shots on target from the men in green.

  7. Get involved

    Ken Gorry: Roy Keane could probably get around the pitch quicker than Glenn Whelan.

  8. A much better tempo from the hosts since half-time. Far more intensity and desire.

  9. Get involved

    Julio Geordio in Bristol: Shay Given overrated? Utter garbage. He was arguably the best keeper in the Premier League during his time at Newcastle.

  10. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Robbie BradyReuters

    Ireland haven't tested Poland yet but they are almost given a route back into the game! Robbie Brady puts a good cross in this time, it flicks off the head of Poland defender Pawel Olkowski and loops over the head of Lukasz Fabianski - only to hit the far post!

    Unlucky. Or lucky, depending on your point of view...

  11. Conor McNamara
    BBC Radio 5 live

    "Poland have totally fallen for Ireland's rope-a-dope tactics...The football equivalent of lying on the floor and playing dead."

  12. Robbie Brady to take - and again it's poor. Get Ian Harte on.

  13. YELLOW CARD

    Robbie Keane is fouledEPA

    Robbie Keane crumples into a heap after a strong challenge from Kamil Glik, the referee waves play on but the linesman's flag goes up and Glik is eventually booked.

    Free-kick in a good area. Needs a good delivery...

  14. Poland appear to be time wasting already, referee Jonas Eriksson has had a word with somebody taking a throw in too slowly.

  15. GiroudGetty Images

    Olivier Giroud has made it 2-0 to France in their friendly against Denmark. The Arsenal striker struck seven minutes before half-time after Alexandre Lacazette had given the Euro 2016 hosts the lead.

  16. Good start from Ireland as Robbie Brady whips in a fine cross from the left but there's nobody there to meet it.

  17. Get involved

    John Dykes: Have to wonder at what point Ireland would take a draw. Probably now.

    Michal Koziol: To Luke from 20:42, actually Peszko used to be somewhat a joke in Poland. We're just as surprised.

    Fergus Puskas: Is that John O'Shea or Paddy McGuinness playing at the back for Ireland?

    I think John O'Shea's been involved in enough mistaken identity cases for one season, Fergus.

    Paddy McGuiness

  18. KICK-OFF

    An aborted kick-off, you don't see many of those. Jon Walters jumps the gun and we get under way at the second attempt.

  19. The players are out at the Aviva. No changes for the Republic. They need a big change on the pitch.

  20. Phew! Almost got through five hours of live texting without a mention of Harry Kane there.
