34'
Dykes and McBurnie are doing a decent job of holding up the ball and bringing their teammates into the game, but they have been starved of service from the wide areas. Nothing to attack.
33'
McBurnie strike on goal! The Sheffield United forward had more time than he realised and got the snap-shot away on goal. It picked up a deflection, though, and Marciano saves.
32'
Marshall claims the cross! It was a decent ball into the middle from Dasa, but nobody in white was getting across the Scotland goalkeeper and Marshall was able to gather comfortably.
31'
Israel are down to 10 men for the time being as Tibi receives some treatment on the sidelines for a bloody nose. The defender will be back on the pitch soon enough.
30'
28'
In other news... it's still goalless between Norway and Serbia, but it's the latter that has been the better of the two teams despite the quality boasted by the home side (see Haaland and Odegaard).
27'
This has been a fairly entertaining match so far played at a good tempo, but we are still awaiting the first real goalscoring opportunity. Israel look dangerous down the left wing.
26'
The longer this goes at 0-0, the more the nerves and the tension will build for Scotland. This is a huge opportunity for them to qualify for a major tournament for the first time since 1998.
25'
Israel recover the ball after O'Donnell dithered on it in the centre of the pitch. Scotland need to do a better job of making good use of the space down the right side. Lots to exploit.
24'
Elhamed into the box! That was a decent change for the away side, with Elhamed bursting into the Scotland penalty area beyond O'Donnell, but his shot is blocked for a corner kick.
23'
22'
Clarke does have options on the bench. Will we see Shankland at some point, for instance? He has been in good form for Dundee United recently. A penalty box finisher.
21'
We haven't seen much in the way of exchange play between Dykes and McBurnie, but in terms of knowing what area of the pitch to occupy the front two seem to have a good understanding.
20'
Scotland actually come into this game on an unbeaten run of five games in a row, but very few of their performances under Clarke have been that convincing. A peculiar streak.
19'
18'
Of course, Scotland were dealt a massive blow yesterday when it emerged Armstrong had tested positive for Covid-19 and that Christie and Tierney would also have to self-isolate as a result.
17'
After a bit of a shaky start, Scotland have settled into the match now and are looking pretty comfortable on the ball. Israel are largely camped inside their own half with the exception of one chaser.

The first yellow card of the night goes the way of Natcho who fouls McGinn.
14'
Robertson whips a freekick delivery into the Israel penalty area, but after a bit of head tennis the danger is cleared by the away side. Scotland are on top at the moment.
13'
Scotland have so many quality attacking midfielders, but the issue in recent matches has been bringing them into the game. Dykes and McBurnie are doing a decent job of that.
