Much better from Armagh as a tidy spell of possession culminates in a fisted point from Jarly Og Burns, the first of the second half.

Rory Grugan weaves his way past a couple of tackles and is unfortunate to see his shot come back off the post.

Armagh needed a quick start to the second half. They haven't gotten one.

Michael McKernan takes a big hit from Ciaran Mackin, who is yellow-carded.

The game is stopped as McKernan receives treatment.

Off we go in the second half.

Armagh are making a change. Ross McQuillan is coming on for Callum Cumiskey.

The Orchard men need a big second half here.

The players are running back out at Healy Park so we're nearly ready to go for the second half.

Tyrone have done well. You can fall into a false sense of security with an extra man but they've kept up the intensity. They've brought the qualities of the Galway performance into tonight.

Even from the start, Niall Morgan made two brilliant saves and that gave us a platform and sucked the energy out of Armagh. Padraig Hampsey has been exceptional and was marking Rian O'Neill out of the game.

In perfect conditions, you have to say four points just isn't good enough for Armagh. Take nothing away from Tyrone though. There was pressure on Tyrone but they've come up and put in a performance so far tonight.

Aidan Forker floats a high ball in under the Tyrone bar but it's defended well by the hosts and the half-time whistle goes.

Tyrone will be delighted, Armagh frustrated. They trail by four with Rian O'Neill having been sent off.

Tyrone play a bit of keep-ball before Niall Morgan tees up a shot, but it goes wide.

Armagh certainly aren't out of this one, but they face an almighty challenge in the second half without their talisman Rian O'Neill.

O'Neill's sending off appears to have come following an altercation with Cormac Quinn. The linesman spotted it, informed the referee and now Armagh are facing more than half of the game with 14 men.

They did respond with a score from Rory Grugan but Tyrone go double scores through Padraig Hampsey.

Straight red card for Rian O'Neill! Drama!

Peter Harte bursts through the gaping hole in the Armagh defence but hammers his shot against the post! What a chance!

Padraig Hampsey and Darragh Canavan were involved in the build-up. Tyrone tore through Armagh there with alarming ease.

Should have been a goal.

A poor Armagh kickpass gifts the ball back to Tyrone from the sideline ball, but Mattie Donnelly fails to capitalise with a wide.

Armagh aren't quite on it. Kieran McGeeney never gives much away on the sideline, but he can't be overly enamoured by what he's seen so far.

Darren McCurry gets away from his man and wallops a titanic left-footed shot over. McCurry has four points to his name already. He's looking as good as anyone out there.

Tyrone lead by four with 23 minutes played.

Mattie Donnelly thumps one high into the Omagh sky and it stays between the posts for what may be the best score of the evening so far.

The game's being played on Tyrone's terms at the moment.

Rory Grugan takes it forward to Conor Turbitt, who curls a beauty over the black spot.

Hadn't seen much of Turbitt since that first-minute goal chance.

Another goal chance for Armagh and another fine save from Niall Morgan!

Ciaran Mackin lays it off to the onrushing Jason Duffy, who charges forward unchallenged but can't beat Morgan with his right-footed shot.

Armagh probably would have taken the point there because Conn Kilpatrick extends Tyrone's lead back to three at the other end with a mark.

Rian O'Neill gets his first point of the evening with an easy free after those early wides.

Darren McCurry lands a cracker. He's in the mood. So are Tyrone. Three-point lead after 12 minutes.
