Robbie Fraser pulls back Jacob MacIntyre and is cautioned. The offence took place outside the Dunfermline penalty area on the right-hand side.

Scott Robinson has replaced Ryan Dow for Arbroath.

Captain Thomas O'Brien is the latest Arbroath player to be booked for bundling over Callumn Morrison.

Scott Stewart mistakenly knocks a Dunfermline free-kick across the face of his own goal but it is just too far ahead of Chris Kane.

A real shift in momentum this second half.

All Arbroath… and Neil Lennon isn’t liking it.

Findlay Marshall takes the free-kick but it is straight into the Dunfermline wall.

Arbroath's Ryan Flynn is booked for catching an opponent and team-mate Ryan Dow is also cautioned for dissent.

Up the other end, Dunfermline's Alfons Amade trips Findlay Marshall and is shown a yellow card.

Chris Kane fancies another goal as he controls a bouncing ball on the edge of the area and lifts a dipping shot over. Worth a pop.

Dunfermline Athletic manager Neil Lennon was keen to stress this tie will be played over at least 180 minutes.

Sixty minutes in, it's so far, so good for the Pars.

Both teams need a bit of a second wind at the moment. The effects of a long hard season seem to be kicking in.

There are two footballs on the pitch temporarily. Now there is just one. On we go.

Dunfermline build an attack on the left with the ball breaking for Alfons Amade but he cannot keep his shot down.

Arbroath didn't threaten much in the first half but they start the second period brightly with Jacob MacIntyre off target with a shot.

Moments later, Harry Cochrane tries to find a way through the Dunfermline defence but cannot test goalkeeper Aston Oxborough.

Second half under way. Are there more goals in this one?

Not the greatest 45 minutes of football I’ve ever seen, but must folk in here won’t be caring.

Dominant Dunfermline deserve their lead, now it’ll be about building it further.

Arbroath are looking a bit leggy…

Dunfermline hold the lead at half-time and are well worthy of it.

Chris Kane's strike set them on their way and, but for Aidan McAdams' prowess in the Arbroath goal, Kieran Ngwenya and Andrew Tod would have added to that lead.

A big improvement required from the visitors at this stage.

Aidan McAdams is keeping Arbroath in this match and potentially in this quarter-final.

Andrew Tod nutmegs Thomas O'Brien and strikes for goal, forcing the goalkeeper to palm wide.

Another interested spectator is East Fife manager Dick Campbell, formerly in charge of Arbroath.

On the pitch, it's a bit end to end with nothing quite getting through to the danger areas.

Former Hibernian and Scotland goalkeeper David Marshall, now Hibs' technical performance manager, is taking in tonight's game.

I wonder if he's been asked to recount the story of that penalty save in Serbia...

Ofttt, from way, way back here, that looked in.

Warra save.

At the corner, goalkeeper Aidan McAdams does brilliantly to block Kieran Ngwenya's shot inside the six-yard box.

Arbroath clinging on a bit just now.

Callumn Morrison is free on the Dunfermline left and has to decide whether to shoot or cross. He shoots. He chose poorly. Easy save.

Chris Kane had bust a gut to get himself available for the cross.

The Pars push again and Morrison almost latches on to Andrew Tod's pass but Arbroath tidy up.

A break in play as Dunfermline's Kieran Ngwenya picks up a knock and receives a bit of treatment before getting back to his feet.
