East Fife have now settled well into the game.
Pat Slattery had a half-chance from 25 yards but was well wide of the target.
Decent contest so far.
Peterhead 0-0 Kilmarnock
Tyrone Smith
BBC Scotland at Balmoor Stadium
Kilmarnock are really starting to create a few chances now, Joe Hugill continuing to torment the Peterhead defence.
Another chance fell his way, but his low shot was well blocked by goalkeeper Jack Newman.
Kieran Shanks (pen)
A quickfire double for the Group G winners.
A lot of penalties being scored today.
Owen Stirton
Aberdeen 1-0 Kelty Hearts
That's six goals in four cup games for Kevin Nisbet - three from the penalty spot.
A great start to the season for the Aberdeen striker.

Peterhead 0-0 Kilmarnock
Tyrone Smith
BBC Scotland at Balmoor Stadium
A lively opening to the game at Balmoor.
The home side have had a couple of sniffs at goal, but at the other end only a wonderful last-ditch block prevented Joe Hugill from firing the visitors ahead.
James Craigen
A goal that benefits Dundee United in Group B.
A defeat for Montrose would ensure United top their section.

First big chance of the game for St Johnstone.
Good cross in from the right by Liam Smith just evading a lunge by Jamie Gullan at the back post.

Stenhousemuir 0-0 Livingston

It's a wee bit blowy at Ochilview Park this afternoon, and that could cause one or two problems.
The home goalkeeper has already been tested with a ball in a few moments ago as the ball was caught in the swirling wind.
Kevin Nisbet (pen)
The first goal of the afternoon comes at Pittodrie.
Kevin Nisbet is on the scoresheet again as Aberdeen charge towards the knockouts.
It's from the spot again after a foul on Toyosi Olusanya.

St Johnstone v East Fife (15:00)

Image source, SNSSt Johnstone boss Simo Valakari tells BBC Scotland: "The bottom line is (East Fife) have more points than we have in our group. And the message to our players was that, yes, we know the situation, but at the same time, we cannot start rushing things and start making stupid decisions.
"Yes, we need to have a purpose. We know what we need to do. We need to score a goal. We need to push the opponent. We need to take our chances. But at the same time, we have 90 minutes and we have seen it before.
"So the message to our players is to take every action, take every moment, just push everything that you have and let's see where it takes us."
Stenhousemuir v Livingston (15:00)
Jane Lewis
BBC Sport Scotland at Ochilview Park
This has the makings of being an intriguing match as both sides can still win this group.
Livingston need a win, while a draw plus a bonus point would be enough for Stenny.
There's also a bit of added spice in this one given the circumstances surrounding Marvin Bartley's decision to leave Livingston at the tale end of last season.
He's now the manager of Stenhousemuir but insists this is no grudge match from his point of view. He says he has respect for his former employers and they'll be friends again after the 90 minutes.
Image source, SNSThe big news from the world of Scottish football earlier today came from Parkhead as Daizen Maeda's move to the Premier League was finally confirmed.
The Japan striker has joined Ipswich Town in a reported £10m deal.

Meanwhile, Falkirk have signed winger Aodhan Doherty on loan from Blackburn and Crystal Palace goalkeeper Owen Goodman as joined Dundee for the season.
St Johnstone v East Fife (15:00)
Brian McLauchlin
BBC Sport Scotland at McDiarmid Park
Even at this very early stage of the campaign we have some jeopardy for St Johnstone. There is no room for error for Saints if they are to have any chance of progression.
They simply must beat East Fife and hope that Morton can do them a favour and beat Inverness to allow St Johnstone to top the group.
East Fife haven’t beaten St Johnstone in 41 years, but they sit in second place in the group on seven points and know a draw with a bonus point could be enough for them to progress.
It’s Simo Valakari v Dick Campbell - two of the most colourful characters in Scottish football. It should be fun.
Peterhead v Kilmarnock (15:00)
Aaron Tshibola re-signed with Kilmarnock yet again during the week and he comes right back into their matchday squad.
The midfielder was part of DR Congo's set-up at this summer's World Cup and is among the substitutes this afternoon at Peterhead.
