There are rows and rows of locals wearing Chelsea shirts roaring every touch. Tremendous enthusiasm from the stands considering the quality of the game.

Chelsea win a corner but it doesn't beat the first man.

The chap who handed me an ice pack earlier has just come over and brought me an ice cream.

Top notch hospitality.

If this was a Premier League match it would be last on Match of the Day.

Half an hour in, no attempts on target.

Back under way after the hydration break.

By the way, Chelsea have named 21 substitutes for this game.

Is there enough space in the dugout for that many?

The in-stadium announcers are getting Chelsea and Juventus supporters to compete on who can cheer the loudest.

There is good support for both but there are significantly more Chelsea fans in attendance.

The crowd in Hong Kong is booing a hydration break in the Chelsea v Juventus friendly match.

Reminder: this Kai Tak Stadium is an indoor arena with air-conditioning.

A hydration break in Hong Kong.

Xabi Alonso looks very animated as he delivers instructions to his players.

To be honest, not an awful lot has happened in this game with Danny Welbeck's header the closest Chelsea have come to breaking the deadlock.

Geovany Quenda and Jamie Gittens have impressed.

That's that for the first half.

Manchester City on top with Antoine Semenyo again looking sharp.

A good ball threaded in behind the Manchester City defence and it comes across to Yago but good defensive work from Rico Lewis prevents the shot on target.

Does anyone really expect Xabi Alonso to be at Chelsea in 2030 after the Spaniard signed a four-year deal when he took charge?

The last Chelsea boss to last four years or longer?

John Neal way back between 1981-85.

Brilliant work from Phil Foden as he takes the ball on the half turn and gets the strike away with his favoured left boot.

You would expect that to be buried into the roof of the net but it's high and wide. Did it take a bit of a deflection?

Divin Mubama is just being checked over after a coming together just inside the box.

Will City be forced into an early change here?

I need half time now. Not sure what to say after that really.

Back to the football for now...

Antoine Semenyo's ball into the box is targeting Divin Mubama but the ball is a bit deep and the keeper gathers.

Danny Welbeck has just headed Geovany Quenda's excellent cross just wide in the first real attempt of the match for either team.

It's interesting to see the link up given this week is the first that new manager Xabi Alonso has got more tactical having focused on physical conditioning beforehand.

We had watched them doing attacking shape work before this match and using new set-piece coach Austin MacPhee to try out new routines in an open training session yesterday.

An eye-catching start by Geovany Quenda.

The £40m signing has shown some decent touches and that cross for Danny Welbeck was a peach. He's also had an attempt which was off target.

Good work, everyone.

Pay up Shamoon.

A first serious attempt by Chelsea!

A lovely ball into the box by new signing Geovany Quenda but Danny Welbeck's glancing header is wide.

Encouragement for the Blues as the new signings combine to create an opening.

BRB, just messaging everyone I know to make sure that happens.
