With Alberto Gilardino and Amauri injured, Marco Borriello has been given the nod ahead of Giampaolo Pazzini to pick up his sixth cap for the Italians.

PEEEEP!PEEEEEEP!PEEEEEEEEEEEP!!! That's it. It finishes in a very good draw for Northern Ireland against an Italian side who on top for long periods.

Last knockings now. Italy have a free-kick down by the right corner flag.....

Group C latest:

It's almost too much to bear. Italy haven't been great and N.Ireland have grown as the match has gone on. McAuley plays a long ball for Lafferty but he loses it in the corner for a throw to Italy.

Three minutes of additional time...

Lafferty handballs. Chiellini comes forward but then Davis springs forward and McGinn plays him in. Davis shoots!!! But Viviano saves.

N.Ireland need to remain calm. A brilliant point is not far away.

N.Ireland have a free-kick on halfway. But it's all the way through to Viviano.

PAZZINI HEADS WIDE!!! What a chance!! Cassano sends over the cross from the left. Pazzini peels away at the far post and heads down and wide of Taylor's goal. Rossi follows up but hooks it into the side-netting. Waste.

Back with Vivano as Windsor Park finds its voice again.

Corry Evans fouls Pirlo and Italy are looking for a winner.

ITALY SUB: Giuseppe Rossi replaces Simone Pepe

Group C latest:

N.Ireland smuggle a corner. Davis kicks the flag and the ball. Davis can't touch it and Pirlo won't touch it. It'd cleared up with a drop ball.

N.IRELAND SUB: Corry Evans replaces Grant McCann

ITALY SUB: Claudio Marchisio replaces Stefano Mauri

Mauri fouls McAuley and the pressure is relieved somewhat.

Cassano gets free on the right and crosses. McAuley concedes the corner. Italy are piling it on...CHIELLINI HEADS WIDE!!! Should have scored from Pirlo's wonderful dead ball.

Group C latest:

McGinn on the right, into Davis but De Rossi is too clever and nicks the ball away.
