St Johnstone 4-3 Kilmarnock
Ieuan Owen is on for Kilmarnock, taking over from Greg Kiltie.
Can the visitors grab another leveller in the last few minutes?

St Johnstone 4-3 Kilmarnock
Josh Fowler and Jamie Gullan have been great for St Johnstone today and the pair get a rousing ovation as they are replaced by Macaulay Tait and Jack Baird.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:43 BST
St Johnstone 4-3 Kilmarnock
Jamie Brandon catches Kai Fotheringham with a stray arm and the Saints goalscorer has a wee cut under his eye that will need patching up.
GOAL St Johnstone 4-3 Kilmarnockpublished at 15:40 BST
Kai Fotheringham
What a game!
Kai Fotheringham starts the move with a pass to Josh Fowler, who races into the penalty area before giving it back.
Fotheringham takes a touch to bamboozle a defender then crashes a shot in.

Jamie Gullan swings another good ball in from the left but Josh Fowler just can't get there with his attempted nod.

St Johnstone 3-3 Kilmarnock
St Johnstone's slick play from the first half is out of the window now. It's just a case of getting the ball forward as quickly as possible.
To be fair, the home fans are lapping it up.
GOAL St Johnstone 3-3 Kilmarnockpublished at 15:29 BST
Louis Lloyd
A first touch from the substitute!
Louis Lloyd, just on for Reece McAlear, flings himself at a Jamie Gullan free-kick and the ball is in the net.
Did it go in off his arm or did defender Michael Schjonning-Larsen get the last touch?
No matter, the VAR check is over and that's goal number six of the afternoon.

The hosts are pressing and pressing for an equaliser but the visiting defence are holding firm.

St Johnstone 2-3 Kilmarnock
Saints sub Logan Chalmers gets a sight of goal but a touch takes him wide and his shot is easily saved. Maybe he should have taken that on first time from the edge of the box.

St Johnstone 2-3 Kilmarnock
Now Saints make a double change and skipper Jason Holt is hooked after that own goal. Ruari Paton also trots off.
Kai Fotheringham and Logan Chalmers are the replacements.

St Johnstone 2-3 Kilmarnock
St Johnstone heads must be scrambled after their domination of the first half and scoring so early after the break.
Can they regroup and find a way back?
GOAL St Johnstone 2-3 Kilmarnockpublished at 15:13 BST
Jason Holt O.G
Toby Steward pushes a shot from Nicky Clesenco away at his near post but against the chest of his captain Jason Holt and the ball rolls over the line.
Kilmarnock lead, having twice been behind.

St Johnstone 2-2 Kilmarnock
Cheick Diabate and Greg Kiltie are in altercation off the pitch, with the Saints defender raising his hands to the throat of the Kilmarnock man.

Allan Preston
Former St Johnstone defender on BBC SportsoundUnbelievable. The keeper comes out and he's nowhere near it.
It's been a terrific start to the second half!
GOAL St Johnstone 2-2 Kilmarnockpublished at 15:08 BST
Joe Hugill
Killie reply immediately as Joe Hugill takes advantage of hesitancy from Toby Steward to touch a looping cross over the goalkeeper.

St Johnstone 2-1 Kilmarnock
Allan Preston
Former St Johnstone defender on BBC SportsoundGreat ball from Jamie Gullan, bang on the money, and it's a good header down, gives the keeper absolutely no chance.
It's the worst possible start to the second half for Kilmarnock.
GOAL St Johnstone 2-1 Kilmarnockpublished at 15:07 BST
Cheick Diabate
So, so easy. Jamie Gullan pings a corner to the back post and Cheick Diabate outmuscles his marker to power in a header at the back post.
The defender didn't even have to jump.
