He doesn't miss those! Steven Fletcher adds a fourth with a powerful header.
Czech Republic 0-0 Northern Ireland
This is going to be a draw.
Czech Republic 0-0 Northern Ireland
It's not been a vintage night of international football. The standard on display is not great as first a long Czech throw causes mayhem in the NI back line and then Steve Davis almost bundles his way through at the other end.

Javel Bleach: Northern Ireland need to do something here. Just a matter of minutes now before the Czech Republic score.

It's all about having bosses on the field, and we don't have any out there tonight.
If either team nicks it, in the showers later they'll be laughing their socks off that they managed to take the three points.
Sometimes, the football here is a comedy of errors.
Czech Republic 0-0 Northern Ireland
Left-back Shane Ferguson has to go off with an injury problem and within a minute or two replacement Lee Hodson has a problem of his own.
He's hoping to run this one off...
Thomas Muller has scored his second goal of the night - the seventh time he has scored twice in a game for Germany - and they lead Norway 3-0.
Romania are drawing 0-0 with Montenegro in the night's other game.
Czech Republic 0-0 Northern Ireland
Please find that Malta v Scotland red card and watch it. Remarkable.
Anyway, back in Prague the game has descended from a lull into a crevasse. Nothing much happening.
Malta 1-3 Scotland
Chris Martin can't reach a cross from the left - and the referee has sent the defender off! He was nowhere near Martin! An amazing decision, read about it here.
Robert Snodgrass buries the penalty. Scotland cruising now.
Czech Republic 0-0 Northern Ireland

That is the worst miss I've seen for a long, long time. Novak is standing right there, on the edge of the six-yard box... and he misses it!
The keeper closed him down very quickly and forced him to hit it perhaps quicker than he wanted to, but he should have buried it.
Czech Republic 0-0 Northern Ireland
How has he missed that?!
Wow. A set-piece causes chaos, nodded back in and Gareth McAuley can't reach the bouncing ball. Filip Novak has time to let the ball come to him, all alone five yards out. He slams it wide!
Czech Republic 0-0 Northern Ireland
Josh Magennis' first touch is a dream as he slides in Stuart Dallas with a great ball but he runs a bit wide. Dallas then jags back on to his right foot and bends in a cracker, Magennis is inches away from meeting it and Jamie Ward also just misses it.
Czech Republic 0-0 Northern Ireland
Kyle Lafferty looks a long way from match fit and he is replaced with just over half an hour to go. On comes Josh Magennis.
Malta 1-2 Scotland
A shaky start to the second half is made a lot brighter for Scotland as new Fulham signing Chris Martin buries a left-wing cross.
Czech Republic 0-0 Northern Ireland
The home side have started the second period strongly and look the more likely as they craft the best move of the game. The ball comes down the left, a lovely weighted cutback cuts out the whole NI defence but Vaclav Kadlec can only sidefoot a shot straight at Michael McGovern.
Milan Baros, Jan Koller, Pavel Nedved, Patrik Berger or Karel Poborsky would have all buried that...
Malta 1-1 Scotland
Back under way.
Czech Republic 0-0 Northern Ireland

Before the game we said a point for Northern Ireland would be good, but the Czech Republic have been very poor.
Win here and that puts pressure on the Czechs for the remainder of this group.
Czech Republic 0-0 Northern Ireland
A great chance for the hosts straight from kick-off! NI are caught short at the back, the ball comes across goal and the sliding Vaclav Kadlec is so close to meeting it.
Moments later Michael McGovern flaps a cross. Shaky start to the second half.
Czech Republic 0-0 Northern Ireland
We are back under way in Prague. No changes at the break.
