39'
Burke is desperate to get himself involved in this game. The RB Leipzig man is now driving inside more often and looks to flick through Ritchie on goal. This time it's cleared.
38'
BURKE GOES DOWN! The 19-year-old surges into the Lithuanian penalty area and goes down under the challenge of a defender, but the referee correctly shakes his head.
37'
36'
This has been a fairly insipid game from Scotland so far. The home crowd are starting to get frustrated. Their team have had so little in the way of goalscoring opportunities.
35'
Scotland are almost caught out at the back. In the end it came to nothing, but Slivka was one of three Lithuanian players who beat the home side's offside trap, there.
34'
BANNAN SHOT ON GOAL! The midfielder creates a couple yards of space for himself 25 yards out, but his shot is straight at the goalkeeper. Scotland's first shot on target of the night.
33'
Lithuania look quite comfortable sitting deep for the moment and plugging gaps at the back before hitting out on the counter attack. This is going well for them so far.
32'
Martin has come in for some rough treatment from the Lithuanian defenders. He feels he should have had at least one penalty kick, but the referee has waved away his claims.
31'
Burke has been quiet so far. The £13 million man hasn't seen much of the ball and has found himself rather isolated out on the right wing. Might Strachan move him into the centre?
30'
Most of what Scotland are doing well is coming through Snodgrass, with Ritchie also causing issues with deliveries into the penalty area. The hosts need to up their game.
29'
Scotland have taken a grip of the contest again over the past 10 minutes or so, but there's still an uneasiness around Hampden at the moment. This isn't very comfortable at all.
28'
Apologies for the sporadic updates over the past five minutes or so. Having some technical problems on our end. But don't worry. We've battered those gremlins into submission now.

MARTIN JUST WIDE! That was the first real chance of the night for Scotland. Snodgrass teased a wonderful cross for Martin, who got a volle away at goal. It flashed past the far post, though.
21'
This has very quickly turned into a difficult evening for Scotland. It's difficult to tell what Strachan's tactics are. Lithuania are looking better and better with every passing minute.
20'
Martin gets something on the ball in the nick of time. Scotland were exposed in the right back position and the Scotland centre-back was required to clear the danger under pressure.
19'
That wasn't Ritchie's best. The Newcastle United man had the chance to shoot on goal from a freekick, but he couldn't clear the Lithuanian wall and Burke fouls trying to pounce on the deflection.
18'

There's another cynical challenge from a Lithuania player, taking down Snodgrass as he surged through on goal.
17'
SNODGRASS FREEKICK SHOT! The Hull City man lines up the set piece from the best part of 25 yards, but despite having the power on the effort it flashes past the target.
16'
For the first time in the match Burke has the chance to stretch his legs and drive at Lithuania. He is eventually crowded out by three defenders, but Bannan mops up and wins a freekick.
15'

ANOTHE HANLEY HEADER! Ritchie picks out the centre back with another excellent delivery from a freekick. Hanley meets this one better, but sends his header wide of the target.
