Jackson Longridge beat three defenders as he twists his way into the box.

Again his driven shot is pushed wide by St Mirren goalkeeper Jak Alnwick and it looks to be heading in the back of the net.

Hearts threaten to add a third early in the second half as goalscorer Liam Boyce reverses a pass to Cammy Devlin.

But the midfielder's strike back across goal rolls just past the far post.

A couple of games are already under way, in others the players have not yet returned to the October sunshine.

We'll keep you up to date as they second half staggers on...

It's been action packed at Tannadice - but just the one goal so far.

Ilmari Niskanen scored for United, the Finnish winger's first since signing for the Tannadice club, while Jeando Fuchs, Dylan Levitt and Nicky Clark could all have added to that lead.

But County have had chances too, with Blair Spittal and Harry Paton also threatening.

There's not been much to keep these sides apart in the first half, but after Ethan Erhahon’s opener, Livingston sparked into life.

Alan Forrest and Odin Bailey have both been unlucky to see shots met by an impressive Jak Alnwick in the St Mirren goal and the Englishman is the main reason the Buddies are still ahead.

Both midfields have battled well to try and control this game with the contest keenly poised at the interval.

Hearts are well on their way to the Premiership summit as a Liam Boyce penalty and a Stephen Kingsley free-kick have the hosts two goals to the good at the break.

Motherwell have struggled to get going but called Hearts goalkeeper Craig Gordon into action with two fine saves at the end of the half.

One goal for the visitors changes this completely. Can they find the net in the second period?

County's Blair Spittal creates some space for himself and has a go from distance but curls his shot around the wrong side of the far post.

Spittal has been on fire recently and you imagine the midfielder is the visitors' main hope of a comeback.

It's not been the prettiest game at McDiarmid Park, but St Johnstone are in a very strong position.

Striker Chris Kane's first double since a 4-0 Saints win over Dundee in 2018 puts them in cruise control.

Dundee are staring at another defeat after creating zero clear-cut chances in the first 45 minutes.

Tony Watt's stunning strike from range is denied by an even better save!

Craig Gordon tips the effort over the bar and the Scotland goalkeeper is on hand again to get down to a Bevis Mugabi header.

Fantastic double save right on the half-time whistle.

United are motoring now and Jeando Fuchs lashes a shot just wide of the post.

Then Dylan Levitt has a shot deflected for a corner kick.

You get the feeling a second goal is not far away.
