A scare for Hibs as David Marshall spills a low shot from Jorge Grant. The penalty box is packed but the home side manage to avoid falling further behind.

Hearts boss Robbie Neilson pleads his innocence as John Beaton struts over to the away dugout to flash a yellow card in his face.

The poor fourth official has been getting plenty of earache from both benches.

The game is very scruffy now, with neither side able to string together more than a couple of passes.

Uh-oh. Hearts defender Alex Cochrane is hit by an object thrown from the crowd as he shapes to take a throw-in. The poor guy is then showered by a tossed carton of chips.

Poor show.

Marijan Cabraja gets his foot on the ball but he takes plenty of Liam Boyce too as the Hibs full-back becomes the second home player to be cautioned by referee John Beaton.

Nathan Atkinson and Toby Sibbick are on for Hearts, with Michael Smith and Alan Forrest making way.

Josh Campbell is limping very heavily as he slowly makes his way off the pitch. He's not getting much sympathy though as Easter Road is buzzing with anticipation for the arrival of Martin Boyle.

Hibs look a bit more menacing with Ewan Henderson moving from the left to a central midfield role. Marijan Cabraja hammers in another cross, with Kye Rowles nodding it away. The big Aussie has been solid for Hearts this afternoon.

Joe Newell finds Marijan Cabraja galloping forward and the Hibs left-back crashes in a powerful cross, but it zooms across the Hearts penalty box and away to safety.

Christian Doidge is on now, with Elias Melkersen making way. That will require a bit of shuffle since the Norwegian had been playing wide on the right.

Hibs boss Lee Johnson is having a word with Christian Doidge and the striker is poised to enter the fray soon.

Hibs are on the ropes here as Hearts go hunting for a second goal.

Two tremendous saves in quick succession from David Marshall to keep Hibs in the game.

First he stops a sliding touch from Lawrence Shankland with his foot, then he's up like a flash to make a sprawling block from Barrie McKay's follow-up shot.

A chance for Hearts straight away and Ryan Porteous needs to time his tackle perfectly as Barrie McKay scurries towards the edge of the penalty area.

No changes in personnel as the second half gets started at Easter Road.

Where do Hibs go from here? Do they stick with the current system or chuck big Christian Doidge up front? Martin Boyle is on the bench too, but he might not have 45 minutes in his legs.
