This wasn't in the script. Lithuania slice through the Scotland ranks like a knife through butter. Fedor Cernych is ice-cold as he rifles a shot beyond the helpless David Marshall.

Gordon Strachan shuffles his Scotland pack for the second time tonight: James Forrest trots on to replace Oliver Burke.
Lithuania have a free kick about 30 yards from goal... Novikovas fires a wild effort high into the night sky.
It's still travelling and may land in a Mount Florida garden before midnight.

That was almost it. Chris Martin a fraction away from heading in Andrew Robertson's cross. Scotland have upped the ante.

Former Scotland striker Steven Thompson on Radio Scotland: "Better stuff from Scotland. That chance for Lithuania has given them a wee fright and they have gone up a level or two and the tempo is better."

Good spell of concerted Scotland pressure on the Lithuanian goal. Unlucky. If we keep doing that, the moment will come. Keep the faith. I know, not easy.
Scotland defender Grant Hanley earns a booking for a high boot in the box as Girdvainis nurses a sore head. The Lithuanian did stoop low in an attempt to clear.
Hanley protests his innocence, to no avail...
Scotland 0-0 Lithuania
Scotland lift the tempo as Andrew Robertson picks out Robert Snodgrass whose goalbound effort is blocked brilliantly by Girdvainis! The home fans inside Hampden roar their approval; better from the hosts.

There was that worrying moment we were talking about. Arvydas Novikovas saw his angled shot saved by David Marshall. And Russell Martin mopped up. Would like to see the action happening in the other box.

Not a substitution that's going to change the course of the match you would think. Although James McArthur has scored a couple of goals of late for Palace. Just a straight swap for Darren Fletcher in the holding midfield role.
Scotland 0-0 Lithuania
Here come the visitors as they threaten early in the second half, Novikovas tests Scotland keeper David Marshall and stand-in skipper Russell Martin lashes clear.
We're back under way at Hampden.
One change for Scotland: James McArthur is on for skipper Darren Fletcher.

Scotland have to start all over again. Nothing's changed. We need to get Ollie Burke on the ball a bit more. His pace, power and direct running is one of our biggest assets.
