How are the nerves? Half-time cuppa help settle them?

Second half underway.

No doubting who Darren has enjoyed watching so far.

It's not been a thrilling first-half but that will do just fine for Northern Ireland.

Kenny Shiels has become more animated as the game has gone on, and like Rachel Furness he is kicking every ball with his team. You can't even begin to imagine what he is going through on the touchline.

Forty-five minutes from history. A big second-half to come.

So far, so good for NI.

Few highlights in that first half from an attacking sense but that suits the hosts down to the ground.

Massive 45 minutes incoming.

Julie Nelson, that's how to ensure you keep a cleansheet.

Ovdlychuk looked like she was going through on goal but Nelson just stepped across and dispossessed her superbly.

No panic. No worries. Nelson's got this.

The match has hit a bit of a lull as half-time approaches.

That's no bad thing for Northern Ireland, of course, who have looked solid and composed throughout.

It's as if they have no nerves at all about what they could achieve if they safely navigate the next 50 or so minutes of football.

Simone Magill gets in down the right channel and gets her shot away.

The angle was tight enough and there was not a lot of power in her strike, as Samson makes a comfortable stop.

First proper strike on target so far for Northern Ireland.

He's a Northern Ireland sporting hero himself and - now former boxer - Carl Frampton is backing this Northern Ireland side to become heroes too.

He likes this ground, as well, as a big Crusaders fan.

Yup, Rachel Furness did exactly that. Natural instinct, I suppose, even with a broken ankle.

She's been the loudest person at Seaview along with Kenny Shiels so she's kicking every ball and winning every header with this team.

Ukraine looking brighter as we tick through the half. Remember, fitness could be an issue late on with six of NI's starting team only playing a maximum of two games since December.

Not sure, but it looked as if injured Rachel Furness went to get out of her seat in the stand to go fetch a ball that went out. Thankfully she thought better of it.

Oh, did we mention she is sitting with a cast on a broken ankle?

Look away now Liverpool coaching staff...

As if to prove your live text reporter wrong, Ukraine keeper Kateryna Samson comes and collects a high ball into the box cleanly.

It's been mostly Northern Ireland in an attacking sense so far.

Kenny Shiels is certainly not a fan of agricultural football - but sticking it in the mixer has been an early weapon for his Northern Ireland side.

Three times the ball has gone into the visitors' box and three times they have looked suspect.

One to keep an eye on.

Just like in Ukraine, Magill and McGuinness were at the defence from the first whistle like they had a packed Seaview roaring them on.

Ukraine look dangerous on the counter but NI look right at home on the artificial pitch, knocking the ball about with ease.

Rafferty couldn't quite capitalise on the confusion in the area but the solid start should help settle any lingering nerves.

Big chance that for Northern Ireland.

A corner caused confusion in the visitors' defence and as the ball bobbled about, Laura Rafferty poked just wide.

Promising for the hosts, who've made a lively start.

An early take for Northern Ireland goalkeeper Jackie Burns from a free-kick into her box.

Nice little nerve settler for her, she'll be pleased with that.

We're underway at Seaview as the visitors kick off.

The players observe a minute's silence in remembrance of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, who died on Friday aged 99.

On Saturday afternoon, Seaview hosted the men’s north Belfast derby between Crusaders and Cliftonville - always a major date in the Northern Ireland football calendar.

Tonight, though, it’s much more than local bragging rights that are up for grabs.

A place in the Euro 2022 finals awaits. The anthems are over. Kick-off incoming.
