A sensational save from Jon McCracken prevents Lukas Fadinger scoring with a deflected attempt.

The midfielder then sends an easier chance past the near post.

What a save from the Dundee keeper, though.

Callum Slattery tries an ambitious one that goes way over.

This is the most Motherwell have struggled to create in recent weeks.

Cameron Congreve will be disappointed he hasn't hit the target, I think if he hits the target that's a goal.

Motherwell give the ball away on halfway and Cameron Congreve tries a Kenny McLean with Calum Ward off his line.

Not enough power or accuracy.

Motherwell are trying to shoehorn it down the middle at every opportunity, but there's Stephen O'Donnell at one side and Emmanuel Longelo at the other - that's the out ball.

Motherwell get on the counter press and win the ball back, and it's worked to the edge of the Dundee box before Elijah Just has a shot blocked.

I find Motherwell a curious team.

They play great football but also take chances at the back, chances barely any other teams are able to capitalise on.

Motherwell put together about 80 passes then a looping ball to the back post is met by Stephen O'Donnell, but the right-back's cutback to Callum Slattery is cut out.

Dundee duo Yan Dhanda and Cameron Congreve try to out fox Motherwell with a slapstick double act free-kick routine.

The only people they outsmarted were themselves as the ball in drifts out of play.

Not one for the set-piece scrapbook.

They're starting to find the space and pick holes in Dundee. Motherwell now look as if they're searching for that first goal to take the game away from Dundee.

Two saves in two minutes by Dundee keeper Jon McCracken to keep Motherwell at bay.

The visitors are starting to get into the attacking groove.

Jon McCracken is forced into another save, having his palms stung by a long-range drive from Lukas Fadinger.

First real chance of the game is a Motherwell chance as Tawanda Maswanhise shows great feet to drive into the left of the Dundee box.

His finish on his weaker foot is saved by the boot of Jon McCracken.

It's certainly been harder for Well to punch passes through centrally in the way they'd usually like.

So the tactic Rory references is working so far.

Dundee have so many bodies in midfield, it'll be interesting to see how Motherwell crack that nut.

When you play against Motherwell you have to be good with the ball. Dundee showed real patience there.

That will certainly give them plenty of heart.

Superb play in midfield from Joel Cotterill to turn and drive at the Motherwell defence.

The ball eventually comes in from the right and Simon Murray fails to get a shot away with his back to goal.

Emmanuel Longelo tries to skip through two Dundee players but is denied progressing any further as Jon McCracken rushes out to claim.

Motherwell are enjoying the bulk of possession so far and are starting to ramp up a bit of pressure.

No shots yet, though.

What we'll see today is footballers who want to take a touch on the ball.

I think there will be a lot of emphasis on retaining possession and trying to get exciting players on the ball.
