    GOAL - Austria 1-0 Northern Irelandpublished at 71 mins

    Marko Arnautovic

    Marko Arnautovic makes a dangerous run in behind Paddy McNair and once he's away, there is no catching him.

    Jamal Lewis, on the far side, looks to have played him onside - just - and Arnautovic only has to slip it past the keeper.

    He celebrates by waving the captain's armband in front of his critics.

    Austria 0-0 Northern Ireland

    Peter Zulj completely miscues his cross and it sails way over the bar. I'm pretty sure it's gone out of the stadium too and has probably latched onto a flight to Australia.

    Marko Arnautovic makes a run in behind and is brought down by Craig Cathcart. He waves his hands in dismay but the referee is having none of it.

    Good call, ref. He went down a bit softly there.

    Austria 0-0 Northern Ireland

    Paddy McNair cuts inside onto his left foot but his shot is well blocked by Sebastian Prodl. Corner to Northern Ireland.

    The ball is floated in towards the back post but it's cleared by the hosts and Corry Evans loses out on the left.

    Austria 0-0 Northern Ireland

    Josh Magennis does really well to win a free-kick out on the left as he uses his strength to hold the ball up.

    Will he be joined up top by Will Grigg shortly?

    "Will Grigg's on fire" rings out around the stadium. I'm going to have that in my head for the rest of the week now. Guaranteed.

    Na, na, na, na, na, naaa, na, na, na, na, naaa.

    Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford has just missed a great opportunity to put England ahead in Croatia.

    We would expect Steven Davis to score with that chance. He did really well to get through on goal but he should be forcing the keeper to make a save from there.

    Austria 0-0 Northern Ireland

    Andreas Ulmer just about keeps the ball in play for Austria but Paddy McNair bravely dives in with his head and wins a free-kick for a high boot.

    Michael O'Neill uses the break in play to make his first change as Corry Evans replaces Shane Ferguson.

    I did say we were going to get 10 goals in this half and at this rate...

    Northern Ireland should be ahead!

    Sebastian Prodl makes a mistake and Stuart Dallas' pounces on it to head it into the path of Steven Davis.

    The Northern Ireland captain is through on goal but he drags his shot and the chance goes begging.

    What a chance!
