    It was great link-up play between Alexander Sorloth and Erling Haaland. Shane Ferguson was busting a gut to get back and it's a brilliant diving clearance.

    Norway are a very, very physical side. It takes a lot of energy. You have to be fit to play at that pace for 90 minutes and they have done it throughout all of this game.

    The keeper punches the corner away and Paddy McNair's shot doesn't even reach the goal.

    The lads in the green and white jerseys are just desperate for the referee to blow the whistle now.

    NI have had a good minute or so of possession but going nowhere with it.

    Not much happening now to be honest. NI do well to harry the Norway keeper into a clearance.

    Do the Evans have a netball-playing sister I wonder?

    Corry Evans' substitute appearance for Northern Ireland brings the Evans brothers to 145 caps between them...and beyond Gary & Phil Neville's total cap haul for England.

    A second save now for BPF as he catches Erling Haaland's free-kick.

    Tonight the finishing has just been too good from Norway.

    Northern Ireland 1-5 Norway

    Steven Davis' record-equalling night is probably one to forget - he drives a shot over the bar.

    That did count as Bailey Peacock-Farrell's first save a couple of minutes ago.

  15. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 80 mins

    Northern Ireland 1-5 Norway

    Norway bring on Jonas Svensson for Omar Elabdellaoui. Keeper Rune Jarstein is their third captain of the night.

    Northern Ireland 1-5 Norway

    Not sure if this counts as Bailey Peacock-Farrell's first save as Alexander Sorloth flicks the ball in the direction of goal and BPF catches it.

  17. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 78 mins

    Northern Ireland 1-5 Norway

    NI make their final sub. Shayne Lavery replaces Conor Washington.

    Norway bring on Birger Meling for Haitam Aleesami.

    Good play by Corry Evans to win the ball and find Stuart Dallas but the right-back's shot is caught by the keeper.

    I was just about to say all the tempo and sting has gone out of this game but Norway whip in a dangerous cross - although nobody can take advantage.
