    If we can show composure and get back into the game with a goal I’m hoping the Kazaks will tire. Their two wing-backs have done a hell of a shift. They’ve got themselves where they want to be in the game, so they'll sit in. It’s up to us now.

    Kazakhstan are showboating. I repeat, Kazakhstan are showboating. Scott McKenna is given the runaround as a neat back-heel sends Yan Vorogovskiy skipping away but the scorer of the second goal lets the side down with a shanked cross.

    Stephen Batty: Has anyone ever been sacked at half-time before?

    Kazakhstan 2-0 Scotland

    The fingertips of goalkeeper Dmytro Nepohodov prevent Oli McBurnie reaching a cross from the left and the hosts are off on another counter-attack.

    The impressive Islambek Kuat unleashes a rocket from distance and Scott Bain needs to look lively to tip it over.

    Kazakhstan are aggressive, they are energetic. Scotland have had plenty of possession but are not showing enough. Kazakhstan are sitting back in their own half throwing themselves into tackles. We need something to happen pretty quickly.

    The home fans are loving this, making a right old din as Oli McBurnie takes a heavy touch from a throw-in and the ball rolls out for a goal-kick.

    Kazakhstan 2-0 Scotland

    Scotland look in trouble every time Kazakhstan come forward but the pace of Oli Burke down the left offers some hope of getting back into this. The home players are scared to touch him once he gets up a head of steam.

    I'm shocked, you're shocked, the players are shocked out on the pitch. They're really struggling to come to terms with the occasion.

    How do Scotland respond after this appalling start? Stuart Armstrong speeds to the byline and cuts the ball into the danger zone but James Forrest is beaten to it by a lunging defender.

    The pass for the second goal is exquisite but Shinnie is ball-watching. What a pass, what a run. Scotland don't know what's outside them.

    I feel a bit sick... The team ranked 117 in the world race into a 2-0 lead as Yan Vorogovskiy runs in behind a sleeping Graeme Shinnie to poke in a wonderful pass from Islambek Kuat.

    It's just a long ball - too easy. We were worried about that defence and it's a horrendous start from Scotland. Exquisite finish from Persukh as Scott McKenna looks across in vain for an offside flag.

    Oh dear... A flat ball lofted through the middle splits the Scotland defence and Yuriy Pertsukh takes a lovely touch before smashing a shot beyond Scott Bain from 18 yards.

    A great burst of pace from Oli Burke down the left but his low cut-back from near the bye-line is hacked away by a defender in yellow.

    Graeme Shinnie has his legs swiped away. Stuart Armstrong whips in the free kick but the home defence nod clear and start a gallop up the park. John McGinn is quick to snuff out the danger and a foul on the Aston Villa man brings play to a halt.

    A few early touches for Scott Bain as the Celtic goalkeeper makes his second international start. The home side already look happy to sit deep when Scotland have the ball.
