1248: We're into two minutes of injury time at Fir Park and 'Well still lead courtesy of John Sutton's predatory strike.
1245:
My Sport
is quieter than a church mouse on a sponsored silence. Anyone out there care to let rip on the action so far?
1244: Three minutes until the break and it's an afternoon stroll in the sunshine for Motherwell.
1239: Hibs midfielder Kevin McBride lashes a shot at goal from 16 yards but 'Well keeper Darren Randolph is equal to it and claws the ball away. Much more like it from John Hughes's men.
1237: Tom Hateley Snr, former Rangers and England striker Mark, is in the stand at Fir Park. Hibs could probably do with his aerial threat at the moment.
1235: "Every second ball in the middle areas are being won by Motherwell. Hibs are wanting time on the ball and Motherwell are not allowing them that" Dundee United manager and BBC Radio Scotland pundit Peter Houston
1233: We've just past the half-hour mark at Fir Park and the hosts appear content with their one-goal lead. Hibs will have to bare their teeth if they're to get back into this game.
1232: John Sutton takes a quick throw in to release Tom Hateley down the right but the rampaging Sol Bamba is alert to the danger and clears for Hibs.
1230: Motherwell, tenacious in the tackle, are preventing Hibs from settling in midfield. Despite Riordan and Stokes looking dangerous, the visitors haven't hit their stride.
1228: Derek Riordan cleverly engineers some space inside the penalty area but 'Well clear the ball just as Anthony Stokes and Colin Nish look to pounce. The game is warming up nicely!
1226: Motherwell are first to every ball at the moment and look likely to add to their lead. Plenty to ponder for Yogi in the Lanarkshire sun.
1224: "There's no fluency about the Hibs play so far."
BBC Radio Scotland commentator Rob Maclean

1222: But Riordan, described by
BBC Scotland pundit Pat Nevin
as the most natural finisher in Scotland's top flight, sends his effort high over the bar.
1221: Hibs have a chance here... Derek Riordan has a free-kick about 30 yards out after Anthony Stokes is fouled.
1219: Craig Brown's men appear to be taking their impressive Europa League form into their league campaign: Murphy and Sutton are looking a handful going forward and their defence is looking miserly.
1218: "It has been Hibs' Achilles heel in pre-season - losing goals too easily - and there it is again." BBC Radio Scotland pundit Craig Paterson
Motherwell goal: Craig Brown's side take the lead with effectively their first real attack of the game. Jamie Murphy sends in a wicked cross from the left and John Sutton steals a march on the statuesque Hibs defence to feather the ball past the helpless Stack.

1211: Jamie Murphy cuts in menacingly from the left wing but his shot, while on target, fails to seriously trouble Graham Stack in the Hibs goal.
1210: Motherwell striker John Sutton looks for a foul after appearing to be nudged in the back by Edwin De Graaf but referee Craig Thomson is having none of it.
1209: Keith Lasley clatters Sol Bamba but the Ivory Coast international dusts himself down and gets up with minimal fuss. It's good to see a player get on with it after being fouled rather than execute a few rolls for effect...
1207: The first chance of the game falls to Anthony Stokes, the Irishman finds himself free in the box after Mark Reynolds stumbles in the box. But his low shot is brilliantly saved by Darren Randolph, who even this early in his 'Well career looks a superb keeper.
1204: Motherwell defender Stephen Craigan tries to find Jamie Murphy with an ambitious long ball but it skips away from 'Well's leading European goalscorer.
1203: We're under way at Fir Park.
1201: Fit-again goalkeeper Graham Stack comes in for the visitors, Graeme Smith dropping out following the home defeat against Maribor in the Europa League. strikers Derek Riordan, Anthony Stokes and Colin Nish all start for Hibs.
1159: Motherwell keep new strikers Nick Blackman and Esteban Casagolda on the bench. Craig Brown picks the same team that beat Aalesund 3-0 in the Europa League.

1151: I'm not sure if my frazzled fingers could bear that kind of relentless pummelling served up by
THAT incredible game
but here's hoping for another goalfest.
1148: 'Well host Hibs at Fir Park to bring the opening weekend of the new SPL season to a close. Now, the last time these sides met on league duty they shared 12 goals - yes 12 - as the Steelmen came storming back from 4-1 down to draw 6-6.
