A shortage of clear-cut chances in Ljubljana but the home side have had the better of the match so far. Marek Hamsik hasn't been able to get on the ball at all. He's dropping deep to try to get possession but Slovenia's Rene Krhin is shadowing his every move. Is a man-marking job something Gordon Strachan might consider on Tuesday?

That might be Martin's first touch after 25 minutes and he almost scored. Did well to stretch for a Snodgrass cross and his angled shot was just a couple of feet wide.

Better from Scotland. Callum Paterson feeds Robert Snodgrass who in turn hangs up a cross for Chris Martin. The striker manages to clip a shot back across goal but it drifts wide.

Yeah, thought we might have to be patient tonight....

BBC Scotland at Hampden
Hampden has been a little subdued by the directness, crisp passing and general assertiveness of Lithuania. Scotland are yet to find their rhythm or any sense of authority. Bannan and Fletcher need to take control of midfield, which they are capable of, but the danger lies on the flanks, particularly on Lithuania's left where Novikovas has been sprightly. Time for cool heads...

Scotland 0-0 Lithuania
Former Scotland striker Steven Thompson on Radio Scotland: "Chris Martin really has been anonymous so far. Whenever we have had the ball in defence, we have been quite direct and I thought they would use him and get Robert Snodgrass around him. But he has seen nothing of the ball."
Novikovas shows some dancing feet before being chopped down by Callum Paterson. However, Lithuania fail to profit from a promising position. Growing unease among the home supporters...
Scotland 0-0 Lithuania

When's Chris Martin coming on?

Scotland 0-0 Lithuania
Robert Snodgrass bursts forward but Kuklys, with a sliding challenge, fouls the Hull City marksman. A booking and a free kick in a dangerous area...
But Matt Ritchie's effort is blocked and the visitors survive.

Good response from Scotland to that couple of minutes of Lithuanian possession in our half.

That was yellow that could have been red for Lithuania. An elbow used against Andy Robertson. Then another great delivery from Matt Ritchie and Callum Paterson's header glided just wide.
Moments later and Robert Snodgrass flashes a free-kick wide of the target.
Scotland 0-0 Lithuania
From the subsequent free-kick, Matt Ritchie whips in a delicious delivery but Callum Paterson's header flies just wide.
The first booking of the game as Andrew Robertson's thunderous run is brought to a shuddering halt by Vaitkunas, who earns a yellow for his trouble.

Hang on. Don't like this yellow peril. Game worryingly open at times....
It's time to hear from the small knot of Lithuanian supporters inside Hampden as the visitors force their first corner of the game. A bit of ping pong follows the set piece delivery and David Marshall gets behind a Slivka drive.
The visitors appear happy to pack their half and invite Scotland onto them. The hosts oblige and Oliver Burke tries to play in Robert Snodgrass but the Hull City man is thwarted by the offside flag.

Positive start from Scotland; so important to set the tone.
