    Logan Chalmers bends in an Inverness corner and Wallace Duffy gets his head to it.

    It's into the ground, however, and is blocked by a body. Should probably do better.

    I think that is a little bit harsh. Carson does win the ball, he is fully committed.

    Really tasty 50/50 between David Carson and James Brown sees the former win the ball.

    Referee Nick Walsh isn't happy with it, though. Foul and yellow card to the Inverness midfielder.

    The corner from Melker Hallberg is met by Callum Hendry but the visitors survive again.

    Another wild pass back, this time from Inverness.

    Quite a bit wide of the goal this one but it wins St Johnstone a corner...

    Melker Hallberg clips the free-kick into Inverness' six-yard box, but the away side clear.

    St Johnstone are much more stretched than they were in the opening hour of the game on Friday and I think that will be a little bit concerning as it gives Inverness more time on the ball.

    Inverness are getting real joy on the counter but the final pass is just a bit off.

    Billy Dodds will be content with his side so far but St Johnstone have a free-kick in a promising position wide on the left.

    Austin Samuels and Logan Chalmers, as they did on Friday, look really sharp in attack.

    Murray Davidson gets caught napping by Samuels in the St Johnstone half but the Championship side can't make the hosts pay.

    Oh my days.

    Dan Cleary fires a ridiculous back pass to Zander Clark.

    How's your touch, big man? Eh, not very good it seems. Clark takes a fresh-air swipe at it and the ball rolls just wide.

    Could have so easily been a disaster. That'll do nothing to settle nerves.

    It is a definite yellow card for Cammy MacPherson. Fouls like that give Inverness the chance to send their big players forward. They are quite a physical side

    Early booking for Cammy MacPherson as he clatters Kirk Broadfoot with a high boot.

    The free-kick from deep reaches Danny Devine, who can't divert a header on target.

    Promising start to this game as St Johnstone are also trying to fashion openings for themselves.

    This has got potential...

  14. Postpublished at 2 mins

    St Johnstone 0-0 Inverness CT (2-2)

    Really bright start from Inverness as they show early intent.

    Logan Chalmers has the ball on the left and cuts inside, but his shot is tame and easy for Zander Clark.

    The players are out the tunnel to a boisterous crowd.

    2,000 Inverness fans have supposedly travelled down to Perth.

    It's an amazing opportunity for Inverness, we know how difficult it is. It's their sixth game of the play-offs, but Inverness look a little bit like Rangers recently in how they get stronger as time goes on - they have shown a great resilience.

    Danny Devine coming in is big. Inverness don't concede many goals and that partnership with Kirk Broadfoot, they've been mainstays all season long. With their experience, they are going to have to defend their penalty box at times.

    If St Johnstone do get relegated, I think there will be discussions, a conversation, and a decision will have to be made on Callum Davidson's future. If they stay up, I have no doubt they will stick by him as they should.

    St Johnstone v Inverness CT (2-2)

    Inverness manager Billy Dodds tells BBC Sportsound: "My players have been magnificent to get us here.

    "I'm nervous, of course, but calm and focused and I want my players to be the same.

    "We showed for half an hour when we started taking the ball, making the right passes, it was St Johnstone hanging on at the end.

    "Not saying we are going to be like that for 90 minutes, we have to respect the opposition and we will do but I have a group of players who have that desire and belief."
