Alex Gogic mops up for Hibs as Gary Mackay-Steven menaced and got the better of Ryan Porteous.

Hibs then deal with the corner.

Paul McGinn wrestles Liam Boyce to the deck.

It's as you were, nothing between these sides.

Alex Cochrane is the first player to be booked for a late one on Chris Cadden, who was too quick for him.

A chance for Hibs to deliver into the box. It's whipped in nicely but the ball evades everyone.

We're off again!

Alex Gogic replaces James Scott for Hibs. Obviously looking for a bit more bit in midfield.

Hearts' Gary Mackay-Steven and Hibs' Martin Boyle have had the better of the chances for each side so far, is the opening goal going to come from one of these two?

Here is the average positions of each player on both sides.

Hibs looking to play with more width, but Hearts' front three have been keeping tight and combining nicely with lots of one-twos.

Former Hibernian striker Kevin Harper tells BBC Sportsound: "It's been frenetic at times. It's been really entertaining.

"Craig Gordon's made two good saves for Hearts and I think that's why he's Scotland's number one.

"I think Jack Ross will be saying, 'calm down a little bit'. When Hibs did play their passes, they got through.

"If you're a professional footballer, you want to be in this environment. I can't go against Hibs, even though in amongst all the Hearts fans. I'll still go with Hibs."

A very even game of football. Hibs started the better, but Hearts have come back strongly.

Finely poised.

Having said that Martin Boyle goes close on the break!

The Hibs forward spins Beni Baningime and races forward, firing just past Craig Gordon's right-hand post.

That's that for the first 45.

Hibs under the cosh before the break. They need half-time.

A lovely cushioned touch from Liam Boyce affords Gary Mackay-Steven room to lash one at goal, but it goes nowhere near the goal.

Hearts seem to be on top in midfield. I wonder if Hibs head coach Jack Ross might tweak his formation again?

Paul McGinn gets a couple of crucial interceptions in to stop Hearts threading through two passes.

It's slightly end-to-end here. But not in a madly frantic way.

We've just seen a replay, and Nick Walsh got that decision on Liam Boyce earlier spot on. He stands on Paul McGinn's foot, causing the Hibs defender to fall and take him down in turn.

Good refereeing.

Martin Boyle shifts the ball onto his right foot and smashes it goalward, but Craig Gordon makes a one-handed save to push it out for a corner.

Better from Hibs.

Liam Boyce plays a one-two and tries to go around Paul McGinn, there's a coming together and it's the Hearts striker who is penalised.

On first viewing he looked to be clean through and then clipped, but Nick Walsh saw differently.

Matt Macey beats away Gary McKay-Steven's left-foot raker.

The Hearts fans roar.

Stephen Kingsley arrives late in the box again from a corner and Joe Newell has to intervene to stop him scoring. Then Craig Halkett heads over from the next corner.

Pressure building.

Ooft, Kevin Nisbet has to stop Stephen Kingsley's sliding effort from creeping in.

Alex Cochrane's delivery wasn't dealt with especially well by Hibs. Hearts growing into the game now.
