Impressive start by Robbie Brady. The Norwich City man delivers another inviting cross into the Bosnian penalty area but the visitors just about manage to scramble it clear before Daryl Murphy can cause any damage.

What an atmosphere. Imagine what Ireland's fans will bring to Euro 2016 if they get through. Lots of noise for sure. Bosnia are having a decent spell of pressure but they have yet to test Darren Randolph.

"That was a good overlap from Brady, a good ball in, just 18 inches from Jon Walters. Begovic did well to clear with his foot.

"Both teams have got themselves in positions where they keep giving the ball away."

Almost a dream start for Ireland. Robbie Brady with a clever run and low cross delivered to the feet of Jon Walters on the edge of the six-yard area but Asmir Begovic is able to block.

"This is like a schoolboy game at the moment. Have the ball, have a dribble, try to make a pass. No-one can make a pass!"

Haris Medunjanin tries to pick out a white shirt inside the Ireland area with a long hoof but it's far too strong and it sails into the hands of Darren Randolph. Very little skill on show so far.

"It was the start everyone thought we would get considering there is a Euro 2016 place at stake - it has been nervy and stuttering. No-one has got the ball down and passed it. We haven't seen two passes strung together yet."

Free-kick to Ireland deep inside their own half. Already clear they are in no rush.

Edgy start by both teams in front of a raucous crowd. Richard Keogh mis-kicks the ball out of play before a Bosnian move breaks down after a careless pass. Nerves evident already.

The teams emerge to thousands of cards sporting Ireland's national colours which are being held aloft by home fans in a sell out 50,000 crowd. There's a fair few who have made the journey from Bosnia too. If the match is as good as the atmosphere, we're in for a cracker.

"It has been so far so good for the Republic of Ireland in this tie. Now they are playing in a much bigger stadium in front of a partisan crowd. Although they must decide whether to stick or twist. For Bosnia it is simple - they must score otherwise they are out."
