Another opportunity for Kieron Bowie and this time his header is stopped by Deniz Mehmet.

Kieron Bowie should score but that's really good goalkeeping from Deniz Mehmet.

Kieron Bowie is clean through, racing away from the halfway line.

The Hibs striker should be tucking that away but can only hit the legs of sprawling goalkeeper Deniz Mehmet.

He feigns a shot to sit Mehmet down but then doesn't lift the ball.

A lot of effort, a lot of industry, but not a great deal of quality in around the boxes.

The fans are doing their best but this game definitely needs a goal to liven things up.

Miguel Chaiwa takes over from Josh Mulligan in the Hibs midfield.

It looks like his game is over.

I'm surprised at how many people are surprised at how well Josh Mulligan has done at Hibs.

He's playing the same way he did at Dundee.

A worry for Hibs as Josh Mulligan goes down a moment or two after taking a bang on the ankle from a late challenge.

Half an hour gone and we're still waiting for a big chance.

It's a bit scruffy.

Right on cue, Jamie McGrath delivers a useful cross from the left wing, which causes a wee scare for the home side.

Jamie McGrath would be better in a central area but he can perform for the team out there on the left.

I don't think you get the best out of him but he's more than capable of playing that position.

Kieron Bowie is a Kirkcaldy lad, which might explain some of the rough treatment the Hibs striker is getting.

Three more Dunfermline corners... Hibs keeper Raphael Sallinger doesn't look too clever for the first, while the other two are dealt with comfortably by the visitors.

A Matty Todd shot is deflected behind for another home corner.

The same player scuffs in a low delivery but gets a second chance as the ball makes it way back to him.

The second attempt leads to a bit of a scramble before Hibs clear.

You can see there's been a bit of a shift in approach from Hibernian. In the early stages they were trying to knock it in behind and make Dunfermline defend, now they're trying to go and play through them.

Not too many empty seats inside East End Park with the Hibs ultras and their drum ensuring a noisy atmosphere.

Meanwhile, the Pars ultras are also doing their best in the North stand to support their team.

A cagey start though by both teams on the pitch.

Olly Thomas shows good strength to bounce Jordan Obita off the ball but his cross is poor and easily cut out by the Hibs defence.

A high, loopy free-kick from Jamie McGrath looks over-hit but Pars goalkeeper Deniz Mehmet is taking no chances as he pushes the ball away for a corner.

Dunfermline clear without any fuss.

The hosts are snapping into tackles and picking up a few scraps in midfield, with Hibs looking a bit sluggish as they try to find a passing rhythm.
