Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Europa League semi-final between Chelsea and Basel, with the first leg kicking off in Switzerland at 8.05pm UK time.

Stocker on the left and his low cross almost gets through Luiz, who pokes it behind for a corner.

Schaer plays it in for Streller to try and bundle his way through but Ivanovic lashes the ball to touch for a throw.

Fine run by Stocker but a dreadful, overhit pass as ElNeny was running through. Action on the Basel bench, a few changes in order.

That spell of Basel pressure ends as Die sends a low drive well wide.

The home fans think Moses handled as he cleared Salah's ball to Streller.

TORRES HITS THE ANGLE OF POST AND BAR! A rasping finish from the penalty spot after a fine run and cut-back from Hazard! Unlucky, it somehow bounced down away from danger.

Luiz, for all his sins, is proving very effective at shielding the defence. A touch more discipline to his play and he could be a world-beater as a DM.

Schaer mis-kicks a clearance to Lampard but Chelsea don't capitalise on it and Park brings it down the left...

Hazard goes down after colliding with Schaer following an error from the Basel defender. He went down quite theatrically but there was a flick from the Swiss stopper!

Streller turns Azpilicueta, who recovers to tackle for a corner. Great start to this half by Basel! Cech punches the corner clear and ElNeny is caught offside on the follow-up.

STOCKER HITS THE POST! Lively run inside from the left, leaving a lumbering Luiz for dead before dummying past Lampard and drilling a low finish off the post with Cech beaten all-ends up! Terry knocks it out for a corner.

Hazard and Ramires on the charge but the Belgian fails to squeeze the pass out to the Brazilian, who had run in from the right with some pace.

Roger Federer is a touch late taking his seat, but with that brown leather jacket we'll forgive him anything.

The second half is underway.

Half-time and Chelsea lead through Victor Moses's goal. Scrappy game for much of the half but Chelsea improved into the break and should have scored another!

Another miss from Hazard, even worse than the last one as Torres sent Moses through, who picked out the Belgian but he fired wide with just Sommer to bear!

Ramires with another good challenge to stop Stocker getting in. Now Torres on the run, wide to Azpilicueta, his cross is blocked but it drops for Torres who misses his bicycle kick and now HAZARD but he blasts it over!

Ramires is covering when Azpilicueta fails to block the run of Stocker. Still Basel's though as ElNeny and Die combine, but Salah loses out to Lampard. Salah is being targeted by Chelsea, who are doubling up on him.

Die almost gets the ball through to Salah but an excellent interception from Cole.

Streller on the left but he can't get the ball into Park because Lampard is tracking back to shepherd it behind for a goal kick.

The ref accidentally gets in the way of Frei's ball but Basel get it back anyway.
