85 - Hibs desperately try to make something happen, but the saints defence are well up to the task.

83 - The game is falling a bit flat as the players tire in the awful conditions. It still looks as though it will be the home side if any who will score again.

78 - Sandaza picks up a Millar pass, his shot is deflected for a corner.

75 - Corner Saints, they waste the opportunity, but are p[laying the much better football.

74 - Leigh Griffiths is replaced by Manuel Junior Agogo.

70 - Hibs replace Martin Scott with Daniel Galbraith.

68 - The conditions are worsening off the field, heavy rain and wind are starting to take their toll with players slipping and passes going astray.

63 - Kevin Moon gives the ball away in midfield, but luckily, Anderson is on hand to clear up.

57 - Hibs really should have got one back. A low cross from Wotherspoon was missed in front of goal by Griffiths.

55 - Hibs first attack of the second half is dealt with easily enough, however, Hibs win a free kick on the return ball, right on the edge of the saints box.

53 - A super ball from Mackay finds Haber, he beats his man in the box, but his pass is cleared just in time by Scott.

51 - Hibs look rattled, Saints are passing the ball about much better. Another free kick won, this time for a foul on Haber.

47 - GOAL SAINTS - Dave Mackay takes the free kick and curls it around the wall and beats Stack all ends up.

46 - Saints go straight on the attack, Haber forcing O'Hanlon into a mistake. From the throw in, saints win a free kick in a good place, 22 yards out.

44 - Hibs are pegged back in their own half as saints look to get in front before half time.

42 - Saints backs are up and are now in control of the match, some neat work again involving Sandaza nearly leads to setting Moon free.

40 - GOAL - Equaliser for Saints, Fran Sandaza picks up a good pass, his first shot comes back off the post with the keeper beaten, however, he follows up and blasts the ball into the net.

39 - Saints come again, and after some good midfield passing, Millar watches his shot go well over.

36 - Hibs are encouraged by their lead and are pressing for the second.

34 - Long range effort from Towell goes well wide.

27 - GOAL - Hibs take the lead, Saints defender Mackay gives the ball away and Griffiths has a shot which Enckelman saves brilliantly, however the loose ball falls to Ritchie Towell, who blasts goal-wards, it looks as though Enckelman has saveD again, but the ball manages to continue its progress into the back of the net.

26 - Saints win a throw in which is taken quickly. Sandaza'a cross though is weak and is easily handled by Stack in the Hibs goal.

24 - A long ball from Anderson flies out of play!

22 - The best move of the game so far had Murray Davidson, Sandaza and Haber linking well, but the linesman lifts his lag for what looked like a very tight decision.

20 - Saints try and build from the back, putting several passes between Davidson, Anderson and Mackay, but the eventual pass up-field goes out of play for a Hibs throw in.

17 - Hibs win the first corner, it's well defended and the ball goes out for a goal kick.

15 - Hibs continue to have the bulk of the play, with Saints attacking on the break, it's all a bit disjointed.

13 - Sandaza waltz's into the Hibs box, but he is eventually surrounded by three Hibs defenders and loses control.

12 - Hibs shout for a penalty when it looks as though the ball strikes the hand of Steven Anderson in the box, the referee waives away the appeals.

11 - Saints are struggling to gain control of the ball, however, Hibs are not making anything of their possession

09 - Marcus Haber replaces the injured Sheridan.

08 - Sheridan pulls up chasing a Sandaza pass and immediately notifies the bench his time is up.
