29'
CLOSE! Chelsea waste little time in taking the corner which they play short. Willian strikes from the edge of the penalty area, but it's deflected inches over the bar.
28'
PENALTY APPEAL!
The ball is swung into the Inter penalty area where David Luis meets it! However, the ball appears to strike the arm of Jovetic and out of play. The referee signals for the corner, much to the frustration of the Chelsea players.
26'
Morata continues to drift into wide areas, and to good effect as well. He wins a free-kick close to the by-line and Chelsea have a chance to open the scoring now.

OFFSIDE: Willian finds himself in a great position, but the linesman's flag curtails his run. It was a close call.

22'
After a slow beginning, Chelsea are starting to grow in confidence. They're knocking the ball around with some conviction now and getting plenty of bodies forward. They should do better with their latest chance, but Azpillicueta plays his cross straight into the arms of Padelli.
21'
Cahill is now back on his feet and looks fine to continue.
20'
A slight concern for Antonio Conte as Cahill goes down and the game is stopped so the England defender can receive treatment.
18'
Batshuayi peels off his marker to latch onto Fabregas' well crafted through ball. However, the Chelsea forward smashes it first time from 25 yards and sends it into row-Z.
16'
Cracks beginning to appear in the Inter defence as Batshuayi is released behind with Willian in support. A weighted pass finds his team mate, but Inter get men back and the chance comes to nothing.
13'
Now Morata is found on the right channel. The Spaniard swings a cross into the Inter penalty area, but the defenders clear. It comes back to Kante whose shot is blocked on the edge.
12'
Alvaro Morata has been starved of service thus far. The Chelsea forward has been forced to drop deep to become involved.
11'
Gary Cahill sees his effort from range blocked on the edge of the box from the resulting corner.
9'
Better from Chelsea. A long ball into the Inter penalty area causes some confusion as defender Skriniar ignores the calls of his goalkeeper Padelli and concedes a corner.
7'
Chelsea conceded three times in the first-half against Bayern Munich, and Antonio Conte certainly won't want a repeat of that here. Truth is, the Blues are fortunate not to be trailing by two already.

JUST WIDE!
Inter have started the match at a frightening pace, and they should be ahead. Roberto Gagliardini sends a half-volley inches wide of the goal from the edge of penalty area.
2'
CHANCE FOR INTER!
Lacklustre defending from David Luis as he allows Antonio Candreva in behind! The Inter forward sees his shot saved and Chelsea scramble the danger away.

KICK-OFF! We're underway.
12:30
Antonio Conte (Chelsea manager): "This game is important for us because we had the possibility to check our physical conditions and whether our tactical work is improving. I think so.
"This pre-season has been very important as we have worked very well. We have improved tactically and this is a good game against a strong team."
