54'
More half-hearted 'Jose Mourinho' chants go up, and the man himself gives the crowd a little wave. Which is nice.

Dangerous moment from Basel, as Diaz breaks down the left and fires over a low cross, but Cole puts it out for a corner at the back post.
52'
The second half is yet to get going, much like the first.
51'
Voser makes space on the right and launches a high, high cross into the box, but Cech claims with little fuss.
50'
Basel try to build on the left, but Diaz, under pressure from Luiz, knocks it out.
49
Willian crosses low from the right edge of the box, but Lampard can't get there and it's cleared.
48'
Looks like Basel are setting up with a slightly more attacking system in the second half, with Sio playing closer to Streller up front.
47'
Hazard tries to set Cole up on the left flank, but his intricate flick doesn't reach the left-back.
46'

And that's half time, and Chelsea go in with a lead they probably deserved, despite the goal being their first shot on target.

GOAL - OSCAR! Luiz breaks forward and finds Lampard, who slides a pass into the area to Oscar, who fires hard and low across Sommer to give Chelsea the lead. If anyone was going to break the deadlock, it was the Brazilian.
43
Hazard crosses from the left, Oscar cushions a header down to Cahill who tries a shot, but it's blocked on the penalty spot.

For the third time this evening, Van Ginkel concedes a free kick after losing control of the ball and he's booked. Diaz's free kick skips through to Cech.
41
Willian does well to close down Basel, forcing them right back to goalkeeper Sommer.
40
Hazard breaks down the left and feeds Eto'o, but he can't beat his man another attack peters out.
39
Chelsea have had 63% of the ball, but have yet to register a shot on target.
38
Hazard feeds Willian near the edge of the Basel box, but he's crowded out.
37
Oscar tries another deep cross, this time from the right, and again Sommer is there to claim before Eto'o can get to it. Livening up now for Chelsea.
36
Oscar tries a trick or two to get into the area, but he's tackled.
35
Oscar crosses from deep on the left, looking for Lampard in the box, but Sommer comes confidently out to claim.
34
Ivanvoic gives the ball away to Streller, but Diaz's through-ball is cut out by Luiz.
