Hello and welcome to our LIVE text commentary of Bayer Leverkusen's clash with Serie A side Roma. The Giallorossi are under pressure to pick up their first win in Group E in order to keep their qualification hopes alive, while Bayer are looking to get back to winning ways after defeat at holders Barcelona last time out.

Roma now don't want half-time! Game has swung completely around. Tremendous for the neutral!

Daniele de Rossi scores his first brace in the CL and becomes the sixth player for Roma to score twice in one CL match. No player has ever scored a hat-trick for Roma. Can the skipper do it?

Hernandez is not singing anymore...

Tremendous action. Both sides look so vulnerable at the back. De Rossi was unmarked, but was lucky to get connection, after missing with his head. Good improvisation from the skipper.

GOAL! Bayern Leverkusen 2-2 Roma. What a game! It is the skipper De Rossi again. Florenzi's delivery from a free-kick is perfect, and the captain is on hand to bundle the ball in.

Kramer is the next to earn himself a yellow card, after fouling Nainggolan. All Roma at the moment.

Games has changed completely. Much better intensity from Roma. De Rossi is cautioned for dissent after Gervinho is not awarded a penalty. Would have been harsh.

CHANCE! Hernandez should have had a hat-trick. Bellarabi's cross looks like it will be incepted by Szczesny, but the Arsenal loanee misses it completely, Hernandez has an open goal to aim at, but heads into the ground and over.

Nainggolan is lucky to avoid a second yellow after diving in. Referee thought long and hard, but let him off with a warning.

Didn't look like coming, and it was simple in its creation. Leno's poor punch only reaches the edge of the box, it is headed back in, and Rossi has time to take it down on his chest and squeeze the ball under Leno to score an unlikely goal

GOAL! Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 Roma. Lifeline for the visitors! The skipper De Rossi prods the Serie A side back in it.

Hernandez breaking records. Chicharito has scored twice in a CL match for the third time in his career. Previously he achieved this for Man United in 2011 vs Marseille and in 2012 vs Braga. The only other Mexican player with multiple goals in a CL match is Carlos Vela for Arsenal vs Braga in 2010. No Mexican player has ever scored a hat-trick.

Alessandro Florenzi tries to pick out Nainggolan, but the move breaks down. Chances few and far between for Roma.

Still al Bayer. Hernandez's movement is keeping the Roma backline busy, creating space for Bellarabi and Calhanoglu.

So easy for the hosts. Roma cannot get hold of the ball. Radja Nainggolan is down, looking for a penalty, but it is a blatant dive, which earns him the game's first caution.

Roma looked shell-shocked. They almost came back at BATE Borisov, but they are really up against it here.

This 'Gegenpressing' from Bayer is causing Roma all sorts of problems. Roma gave the ball away too cheaply, Calhanoglu picks it up and plays in Hernandez, who timed his run to perfection, his first effort is saved by Szczesny, but the Mexican is alert to calmly slot in the rebound.

GOAL Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 Roma. Woeful defending from the visitors allows Hernandez to grab his second and give the hosts a deserved two-goal lead.

SAVE! Leno to the rescue for Bayer. Miralem Pjanic is picked out by Salah after Gervinho had almost ruined a great opportunity to have a shot at goal, but the Bosnian is denied by Leno, who beats the ball away.

Roma cannot get out of their own half. Borges Wendell this time is in fast to win the ball.

Mohamed Salah is penalised for a foul and gets a stern talking to by the referee. I would not mess with this official!
