    It's been a really positive the second half for Scotland. Ryan Fraser has been outstanding and Stephen O'Donnell is not far behind him.

  2. YELLOW CARD

    Scotland 1-0 Slovakia

    The referee blows for a foul and Andy Robertson hammers the ball away to pick up a cheap booking.

    That's his second yellow card of the campaign and means the captain will have to sit out when the Czechs visit Hampden on Wednesday.

  3. McGregor & McBurnie on for Scotland

    Scotland 1-0 Slovakia

    And that's the evening over for goalscorer Lyndon Dykes as he makes way for Oli McBurnie.

    Callum McGregor takes over from a hobbling John Fleck in the midfield engine room.

  4. Scotland 1-0 Slovakia

    It's nearly the O'Donnell - Dykes combination again for Scotland.

    The Motherwell full-back drives in from the right and plays a perfect cutback for the big striker but the cute, first-time dink does not come off as the ball spins high and wide.

  5. Scotland 1-0 Slovakia

    That goal has done wonders for Lyndon Dykes as he strides forward from the left and slips a pass inside to Ryan Fraser but the ball just won't fall for the Newcastle winger and a defender in white steps in to clear.

  6. Scotland 1-0 Slovakia

    Robert Mak dips a shoulder to make space for a cross on the right but his fierce delivery is straight at David Marshall.

  7. 'Much more exciting now'

    Scotland 1-0 Slovakia

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    It's been a much better game in the second half, it's much more exciting. There's been chances at either end and what we didn't have in the first half, a goal.

  8. Double change for Slovakia

    Scotland 1-0 Slovakia

    A double change for Slovakia as experienced duo Robert Mak and Juraj Kucka enter the fray.

    Captain Marek Hamsik and Ivan Schnarz make way.

  9. Scotland 1-0 Slovakia

    The visitors look for a response but Kenny McLean makes a good sliding challenge inside the Scotland penalty area to snuff out the danger and, from the corner, David Marshall gathers a tame shot from Jan Gregus at the second attempt, having perhaps been unsighted.

  10. Israel hit back in Haifa

    Israel 1-2 Czech Republic

    Meanwhile, Eran Zahavi pulls one back for Israel at home to Czech Republic.

  11. 'Cool, calm finish' from Dykes

    Scotland 1-0 Slovakia

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound

    It's good build up from Scotland with Ryan Fraser and Stephen O'Donnell, and he finishes it coolly and calmly. And he's onside all day long.

    Scotland goalBBC Sport

    Well, that's come completely out the blue, but we'll take it.

    Ryan Fraser is out on the touchline and knocks a pass inside for Stephen O'Donnell to loft a first-time cross in behind the Slovak defence.

    Lydon Dykes watches it all the way and steers a neat volley home from six yards.

    Scotland back on top of the group...

  13. Czechs move 2-0 up in Israel

  14. YELLOW CARDS

    Scotland 0-0 Slovakia

    John Fleck is cautioned for arriving late for a challenge and planting a painful stamp on his opponent's toe.

    Moments later, Fleck is bundled over in an act of retribution and the yellow card is out again.

  15. Scotland 0-0 Slovakia

    Lyndon Dykes lays it off for John McGinn and the shot is on for the Aston Villa midfielder, but he doesn't catch it properly and it bobbles harmlessly wide.

  16. Scotland 0-0 Slovakia

    A shot on target! Jan Gregus takes aim from 22 yards and it's easy save for David Marshall.

  17. KICK-OFF

    Scotland 0-0 Slovakia

    Here we go again for the second half.

  18. Steve Clarke's cautious 'chicken soup' approach

    HT: Scotland 0-0 Slovakia

    Tom English
    BBC Scotland's chief sports writer on Sportsound

    Steve Clarke has improved the defensive structure of this side considerably. In the famous Mrs Beeton's chicken soup recipe, the first step was to catch your chicken. Steve Clarke's first step in making Scotland a successful team is to build his defence.

  19. More of the same...

    HT: Scotland 0-0 Slovakia

    Craig Levein
    Former Scotland manager on BBC Sportsound

    For the first 10 minutes it was looking quite positive, we certainly played higher, our wing-backs were getting up the pitch. But it kind of just slipped back into more of what we saw the other night. Slovakia have maybe just grown in confidence as well.

    So far, so solid, but neither goalkeeper has had anything of note to do.
