21'
Despite the atmosphere, there's no real pace to the game and it's been disappointing. Perhaps Montenegro are right to be patient but they've not had much zip in their play yet.
19'
Mladen Bozovic has the ball in his hands now after an aimless cross from the left goes straight to him.
19'
A long throw-in is safely gathered by Cech on his 88th appearance for his country. He remains one of the very best keepers in the game.
17'
The Italian referee is drawing a few whistles for his decision-making but he's having a strong game so far.
16'
Rezek is fouled by Vladimir Bozovic and the full-back is lucky to escape a yellow card for his obstruction.
14'
It's another flag-kick for the visitors which Rosicky takes but it's headed away powerfully.
13'
Stefan Savic, the Manchester City man, concedes another corner and the Czechs will be pleased with how things are going.
11'
Jaroslav Plasil bursts through and sets up Vaclav Pilar but he's crowded out at the expense of a corner, which is claimed by Mladen Bozovic.
9'

Cech does well when Vucinic's header panics Tomas Sivok into heading back towards his own goal. The Chelsea keeper is right next to him and shows his reflexes to clutch it safely.
8'
Jan Rezek has a shot well wide after Cech comfortably caught that Montenegrin free-kick and launched a raid.
7'
Stevan Jovetic trying to get on the ball and prompt matters while Vucinec goes down easily to win a free-kick.
5'
The Czechs have dampened the early fire and build an attack of their own but it peters out and comes to nothing.
4'
The fans are swirling their scarves and making an almighty racket. It's set up for a feisty affair.
3'
Hubnik comes back on and has an exchange of words with Vucinic. Spicy already and the atmosphere is white-hot with flares being let off in the stands.
1'
An early injury for Roman Hubnik and he looks hurt after an aerial challenge with the highly-rated Mirko Vucinic, the home skipper.
19:15

We're underway with Montenegro, in red, immediately attacking Petr Cech's goal.
19:13
The excitement is building and let's hope the match does this atmosphere justice.
19:09
A fifth straight appearance in the finals of the European Championship beckons for the Czechs, who will feel Tomas Sivok's injury-time goal in Prague is crucial. Tomas Hubschman is suspended but Milan Baros is fit enough to make the bench. Tomas Rosicky takes his place in midfield after recovering from a knock he picked up on his foot in the first leg.
19:05
Kick-off isn't far away and the 200 visiting fans are in position in the stadium. They're massively outnumbered but, as things stand, they're the ones who will be celebrating a place at Euro 2012 afterwards unless there's a huge turnaround.
19:00
Montenegro striker Dejan Damjanovic has warned: "We're a totally different team at home." You still sense there will have to be a deal of complacency on the Czechs' part to throw his opportunity away. But if Montenegro score first, then it really will be game on.
18:54
Podgorica will be rocking if the Montengrins can show their quality at home again but their display in Prague was probably their worst of the whole qualifying campaign. Coach Michal Bilek thinks a goal will be enough to clinch a place in Poland and Ukraine for Czech Republic but Montenegro have a resolute defence.
