Ireland make their first change as Jeff Hendrick replaces Jayson Molumby.

Hmm.

Tomas Soucek has bagged a hat-trick as the Czechs lead Estonia 6-1.

Ireland have their first shot since the goal as Ciaran Clark heads a left-wing corner into the side-netting.

Ireland are slightly fortunate not to concede a penalty - or maybe a free-kick just outside the box. Seamus Coleman slips and brings down Dusan Vlahovic. He didn't mean it... but he did it nonetheless.

Cristiano Ronaldo is just seven goals away from Ali Daei's all-time international record of 109 and you'd think tonight would represent a good chance for him to close in on that figure but it hasn't quite happened for him yet. He's just smashed a free-kick right on the edge of the area into an opponent's face as he tried to clear the wall.

Alan Browne runs onto a long ball down the left and he does well to even keep the ball in play - but his volleyed cross can't find Callum Robinson.

Ireland want a penalty as Stefan Mitrovic slides in on Aaron Connolly. The referee says the defender won the ball. Again, no VAR.

Serbia have a goal disallowed for a clear offside. Dusan Tadic plays Dusan Vlahovic in and he slots home - but play had basically stopped, it was so far off. No VAR in these games.

Callum Robinson, who is definitely the brightest Ireland attacker, just fails to find a team-mate with a through ball.

Almost a chance for Ireland. Callum Robinson is on the ball quickly and crosses to Aaron Connolly, but a Serbian defender denies him the chance to shoot.

Some Body: #Ireland folded back into last-ditch defensive mode after scoring - with 70 mins still to play!! I predict 3-1 Serbia. But it doesn't have to be.

A sloppy start to the second half for Ireland. There's a bit of panic and then Sasa Lukic shoots just over for Serbia.

The second half begins. Can Ireland build on a promising opening 30 minutes?

Serbia bring on Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Filip Kostic for Filip Mladenovic.

For all Ireland's first-half promise, they've only actually had one shot. Serbia have had eight.

Tomas Soucek has a second and the Czech Republic lead Estonia 4-1 in the countries I took my toddler to on holiday before the pandemic derby.

A good first half for Didier Deschamps' side. France looking very comfortable so far.

Half time and Portugal have the lead through an own goal. It has been almost one-way traffic, with Cristiano Ronaldo coming closest to adding to the lead when his overhead kick flew just over.

It's half-time in Belgrade. A good 40 minutes, followed by five bad ones, for the Republic of Ireland.

Kristian Thorstvedt has just doubled Norway's lead.
