    It's another poor ball by George Saville and Finland clear.

    The ball is worked back into the area but it won't break for a green shirt.

    It's desperate, desperate stuff all round.

    Siori is booked for catching Dion Charles.

    Is this the one last chance?

    It's been one of those nights that it just feels like the luck isn't going to be with us.

    We were lucky there. Bradley's first touch was poor but if he gets there cleanly, they had three men on the break and we would have been in trouble.

    It is dinked in towards Ciaron Brown but Finland clear once more.

    Into the final two minutes.

    Jamal Lewis' right-footed effort is poor but it breaks for Conor Bradley and he has been hacked down.

    Another chance to come.

    Isaac Price and Jamal Lewis combine to win a corner.

    Is this the chance?

    Bradley is brilliant again - when the lad needs to defend he can do that but when he gets forward, my word!

    Conor Bradley looks knackered but he won't stop running.

    Craig Cathcart does well against Forss but has had to concede a corner.

    Josh Magennis rises highest to clear.

    Michael O'Neill is yelling at his players to calm down on the touchline.

    There's still plenty of time.

    Whyte should keep driving into the box, if that's his shot it's a poor shot but the keeper nearly pushes it into the net!

    Shea Charles gives away a free-kick and that's his last action as the teenager is replaced by Isaac Price.

    Jordan Thompson is off for George Saville.

    Two fresh legs in the middle.

    It's cleared and Finland come away. They are breaking at pace but Shea Charles manages to clear.

    That is an unbelievable save by Peacock- Farrell!

    That was a great free-kick into a dangerous position.
