Insigne now replaced by Castrovilli and he gets a big round of applause after grabbing a goal.
83'
Bosnia-Herzegovina have no real spark about their play, and you get the impression their players have had enough.
80'
Italy left-back Emerson decides to go for goal from that free-kick, but he failed to apply enough dip to his shot, and it remains 0-3.
79'
A. Kovačević gets yellow.
Kovacevic is shown a yellow card, even though Dzeko tries to argue the decision. The defender tried to clear the danger and deny Belotti, but for some reason he raised his boot to the striker's face. Replays suggest he was lucky to be only shown a yellow on that occasion!
77'

The muscle injury ends Pjanic's night, Jajalo now comes on for the final 13 minutes.
76'

75'
S. El Shaarawy enters the game and replaces F. Bernardeschi.
Bernardeschi failed to stick to his high standards for the second half and he is now replaced by El Shaarawy.

Description
70'
Prosinecki's troops have not performed to their best tonight, but their fans will be disappointed with the second-half showing. They have not done enough to test Donnarumma, unlike the first 45 minutes.
67'
Italy are still trying to dictate possession and grab a fourth goal, but they are also willing to take a few risks. Mancini's men look destined to continue their winning run in Group J.
65'
L. Bonucci gets yellow.
Bonucci is shown a yellow card, and he cannot have any complaints. The defender stretched for the ball and did not make any contact. However, he chopped down Hodzic, and the referee goes to his pocket.
61'
A. Hodžić enters the game and replaces E. Višća.
E. Sarić enters the game and replaces M. Bešić.
Prosinecki decides to make another change and Besic makes way for Saric.
Visca has had a quiet night tonight and he is now replaced by Hodzic.
57'
The third goal already seems to have taken the sting out of the home side. Some of the crowd have now moved on, but Italy will not care. They have been so clinical on the counter!
54'
Sehic will be annoyed with himself after that third goal. He did not do enough to make Belotti think, and that goal may be enough for the home side's heads to drop.
52'
A. Belotti has scored a goal for Italy! Assist by N. Barella.
Barella claims his second assist of the night and he is doing all he can to impress Mancini ahead of the tournament in 2020.
GOAAALLLLLL! BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA 0-3 ITALY - Both sets of fans rise to their feet and clap Belotti's effort as he makes it three. The Torino man raced onto a throughball and decided to shoot as soon as possible. Sehic failed to close him down, and Belotti smashed his shot into the top corner.
50'
Italy showed great discipline in the first half, but the home fans are still behind their team are willing them to score.
48'
Both sides have started with real purpose at the start of the second half, but the quality is lacking in the final third.
46'
We are back underway, with both sides sticking with their original starting XI's.
45' +1
HALF-TIME - Bosnia-Herzegovina 0-2 Italy.
44'
One minute of stoppage time...
42'
Both goalkeepers have been busy tonight, and Bosnia-Herzegovina can feel hard done by after the first 40 minutes.
40'
SO CLOSE! This game is really opening up, but Belotti fails to make it 0-3 on the counter-attack. The Torino man escaped from his marker, but Sehic tipped his shot over the bar. We could have had three goals in the last three minutes. Long may it continue!
37'
L. Insigne has scored a goal for Italy! Assist by A. Belotti.
GOAALLLLL BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA 0-2 ITALY - Insigne doubles the lead with his third goal in four matches for his country. The Napoli ace picked up possession in the penalty area and turned quickly before aiming for the far corner. His shot hit Kovacevic, and that deflection took the ball away from Sehic and into the bottom corner.
Belotti claims the assist and Insigne was quick to thank him as his simple ball carved open the home defence.
35'
Both teams are putting their foot down in search of a goal, and we could well get another before the break.
30'
Italy continue to make errors in and around their own box. Short corners are not being tracked, while some defenders are getting in each other's way.
28'
The fact that Dzeko plays his football in Italy will give the visiting defence a significant advantage. They should know his game inside out, and he may struggle to find a way through!
26'
Bosnia-Herzegovina have responded well since going behind, with Dzeko trying to lead by example. Italy are making some poor decisions at the back, and there is every chance the home side could level before the break.
25'
F. Bernardeschi gets yellow.
Bernardeschi is shown a yellow card after he gets caught on the wrong side of Krunic before pushing him to the floor.
21'
F. Acerbi has scored a goal for Italy! Assist by N. Barella.
GOAAAALLLLL - BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA 0-1 ITALY - Acerbi scores his first international goal, and his team-mates can barely believe it as he wheels away. Bernadeschi made the goal with a great run into the area before he cut the ball back to Barella. A simple lay-off allowed Acerbi to shoot, but he took his time before firing home. What a moment for the 31-year-old!!!
Barella claims the assist, and he showed great vision to tee up his team-mate. Bernadeschi also deserves special praise and Italy will celebrate that goal for a good few weeks!
15'
Italy have still to get into their rhythm tonight, with Insigne and Belotti barely involved so far.
13'
For Bosnia-Herzegovina to be successful, they need Dzeko to hold the ball up and bring others into the game. At the moment, the former Manchester City man has been a little quiet.
11'
For the first time tonight, Italy are now starting to get the ball down and play with freedom.
6'
Prosinecki's side have started well, with Italy struggling to create much at the moment.
4'
Thousands of fans have still flocked to the stadium, despite Bosnia-Herzegovina's position in the group. They will want to repay them with a good performance, so a fast start is essential.
2'
Bosnia-Herzegovina burst forward and nearly open the scoring with their first attack. Visca's pass picks out Dzeko but the Roma striker is offside and Italy win a free-kick.
1'
We are underway, Bosnia-Herzegovina in their traditional blue, while Italy wear white tonight.
Good evening and welcome to our live coverage of the Group J contest between Bosnia-Herzegovina and Italy from the European Championship Qualifiers.
Italy are already through as group winners, and they have picked up 24 points from their first eight games. While they have a perfect record, Bosnia-Herzegovina have struggled, and they are second-bottom in the group on 10 points.
These two sides last met in June, with Italy securing a 2-1 win at the Allianz Stadium. Lorenzo Insigne and Marco Verratti were the scorers on that night. Bosnia-Herzegovina have since lost two of their last four, while Italy have won their last nine matches.
BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA (4-3-3): Ibrahim Sehic; Zoran Kvrzic, Adnan Kovacevic, Ermin Bicakcic, Sead Kolasinac; Muhamed Besic, Miralem Pjanic, Gojko Cimirot; Edin Visca, Edin Dzeko (C), Rade Krunic.
SUBS: Eldar Civic, Izet Hajrovic, Kenan Piric, Dino Hotic, Haris Duljevic, Samir Memisevic, Armin Hodzic, Mato Jajalo, Haris Hajradinovic, Jasmin Buric, Elvis Saric, Marko Mihojevic.
ITALY (4-3-3): Gianluigi Donnarumma; Alessandro Florenzi, Leonardo Bonucci (C), Francesco Acerbi, Emerson; Nicolo Barella, Jorginho, Sandro Tonali; Federico Bernardeschi, Andrea Belotti, Lorenzo Insigne.
SUBS: Salvatore Sirigu, Nicolo Zaniolo, Cristiano Biraghi, Pierluigi Gollini, Gaetano Castrovilli, Ciro Immobile, Rolando Mandragora, Federico Chiesa, Stephan El Shaarawy, Armando Izzo, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Alessio Romagnoli.
Both sides are on the field and we are just waiting for the respective national anthems to finish.
Bosnia-Herzegovina need to keep plugging away as there is plenty of attacking threat from them. Italy have looked nervous at the back, but substitutions could decide this game, especially if Mancini chooses to protect his team's lead.
Italy were already confirmed as group winners, but they have shown plenty of potential ahead of next summer's tournament. They need to improve at the back, but their threat on the counter-attack could cause chaos.
Italy face Armenia in their final match on Monday, while Liechtenstein will host Bosnia-Herzegovina.
That is all for tonight folks, thanks for joining us. Goodbye!
