Marco Palestra tries to thread a killer pass to Danny Welbeck but it is cut out.

Welbeck hasn't had much impact on this game so far.

We are back under way.

Palmer is still on the field.

Cole Palmer took a seat on the bench while having a drink, next to Mykhailo Mudryk.

I wonder how much more of Palmer we will see here, given he is returning from a minor injury.

Ah, hydration breaks. How we have not missed you.

It is needed here though. The players are taking on water amid the heat and humidity of Jakarta.

The closest Chelsea have come to taking the lead!

Joao Pedro again is the driving force, powering into the Milan D where he is tackled by Ruben Loftus-Cheek. The loose ball falls to Pedro Neto, who curls a low shot that Lorenzo Torriani has to palm away.

Good save by Torriani, filling in for Mike Maignan who is resting post-World Cup.

A slick AC Milan move looks to get Rafa Leao away from the Chelsea defence, but Josh Acheampong recovers superbly with a fine tackle to deny the Brazilian and concede a corner.

Robert Sanchez can only punch the set piece to the edge of the area, and Christian Comotto's shot is deflected behind.

Ex-Brighton left back Pervis Estupinan gets into a good position on the left byline, but he picks the wrong option and his tame cross is plucked by Robert Sanchez.

Wasted chance for Milan there.

Marco Palestra charges forward from left back, cuts inside then feeds Danny Welbeck outside him on the edge of the box.

Welbeck hits his strike well, but comfortably wide of the near post.

Rafael Leao runs at the Chelsea defence, but is well shepherded by Wesley Fofana.

Leao is a very entertaining player to watch, it would be great to have him in the Premier League - however the most recent transfer reports indicate he is heading to Galatasaray.

A first good opening for Joao Pedro, who bursts into the box but his shot is smothered by young Milan keeper Lorenzo Torriani.

Decent tempo so far in this game, it feels more like a competitive match than many pre-season friendlies.

First sign of life from Cole Palmer, a dangerous left footed cross from the right is headed behind for a Chelsea corner.

Any opportunity from the set piece is lost due to a foul on the keeper by Joao Pedro.

Samuel Chukwueze has had a lively start down the right for Milan, beating Marco Palestra but off target with his cross.

Chukwueze spent last season on loan at Fulham.

Pedro Neto, who is featuring for the first time in pre-season for Chelsea after his World Cup exploits for Portugal, chips in a free kick which is collected by Joao Pedro. His shot is deflected behind for a corner.

First spell of pressure from Chelsea.

Interesting defensive line-up for Chelsea today - Marco Palestra lines up at left back rather than his usual right side. Josh Acheampong is at right back.

Milan threaten early with a long ball from Samuel Chukwueze, but it just runs too long for striker Francesco Camarda.

Chelsea have a good recent record against Milan - their last competitive meetings were in a Champions League knock-out fixture in 2022, where the Blues triumphed 5-0 on aggregate.

They also met in a pre-season friendly last summer, where Enzo Maresca's side won 4-1.

Away we go.
