FINAL SCORE - Hearts 1 Wanderers 1
6:46pm Tuesday 4th August 2009 in Sport By Marc Iles
FULL-TIME: Hearts 1 Wanderers 1
75mins: David Obua brings a decent save out of Jaaskelainen with a 30-yard free-kick.
67mins: The pace has calmed now. Riga from the bench to warm things up again?
59mins: Brilliant save from Jaaskelainen to deny the pacy Santana. Things really hotting up here at Tynecastle.
57mins: Mark Davies nearly restored the Whites' advantage, latching on to Elmander's pass to bring a good save out of Balogh.
47mins: Muamba strips the Hearts back four for pace but Balogh is quick off his line to stifle the danger.
46mins: Mark Davies on for Gretar Steinsson at half-time. Attacking move from Megson.
HALF-TIME: Entertaining stuff despite the lack of chances. Amazing we have 22 players still on the pitch really because this has been anything but friendly. Expect facepaints and war cries in the second 45.
39mins: Witteveen hits a dipping volley that lands on top of Jaaskelainen's goal. Close as Hearts have got to a goal but they have played some decent football.
37mins: Taylor gets a free-kick in a great position but sends his shot crashing into the wall once again.
32mins: Finally a shot to go with all the flying challenges. Elmander tries his luck from distance with a daisy-cutter. It goes wide but at least it didn't involve a talking-to from the referee.
23mins: Suso Santana - for the second time in the game - sends Robinson crashing to the turf, this time seemingly leading with his elbow. Seconds later, the full-back crudely bodychecks the Hearts winger into touch. The referee could have sent off either - but chose to keep his head.
17mins: Sean Davis sends a free-kick inches over the cross bar. Decent enough start from Wanderers.
12mins: Taylor's free-kick goes crashing into the wall. Muamba picks up the rebound and puts a good cross in, stabbed just wide by Elmander.
10mins: Crikey! New Hearts signing David Witteveen goes thundering into Paul Robinson, sending the full-back flying into the air. Robbo gets up and whispers a few words in his ear ... isn't this a friendly?
8mins: Enterprising football by Hearts on the edge of the box. Christian Nade hits a low shot which is gathered well by Jaaskelainen.
5mins: A bit of needle in this one already. Some heavy challenges flying in from the home side, including one on Johan Elmander right on the edge of the area. Unfortunately, Sean Davis got his delivery wrong this time.
KICK-OFF : We're off. Bibi Gardner captaining the side tonight in Kevin Davies and Gary Cahill's absence.
7.25pm: Excellent turnout from the Wanderers fans - looks like there are around 150 of them lined up in the stands to my right. Many of them appear to be sporting tartan hats!
TEAMS : Jaaskelainen; Ricketts; Steinsson; Andy O'Brien; Knight; Robinson; Elmander; Muamba; Davis; Taylor; Gardner. Subs: Bogdan; Obadeyi; Cohen; Samuel; Riga; Mark Davies.
