Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Brazil against Germany in the World Cup semi-final from Belo Horizonte.

GOOOAL!! Kross capitalises on Fernandinho taking a heavy touch. He finds Khedira inside the box but instead of shooting he slots it back to Kroos who tucks away.

GOOAL! 3-0! What a strike! Kroos with it. What a strike on the half-volley with his left foot from outside the box!

That left side for Brazil is getting taken apart!

GOOOAL! Klose. Some neat passing cuts open the Brazil defence and Klose has his first shot blocked but follows up to open a two-goal advantage. He takes the record to boot.

Mueller again leads a break down their right but his cross is blocked. Throw.

Oscar has probably been Brazil’s best player thus far but Germany are paying very close attention to him.

This is real end-to-end stuff and Brazil need not to be so open – concede again and it will be very, very difficult to get back from there. They must settle.

The corner was cleared with ease but Brazil come again.

Germany have dropped 15 yards or so now but Marcelo is away down the left. Lahm comes across with a suitably well-timed tackle but the German players are not happy with the way Marcelo went to ground. Corner.

An incredible stat – what a player. He has a habit of coming through with important goals. Brazil, after making a fine start, have it all to do.

Brazil need a leader now. One needs to emerge without Thiago Silva or Neymar on the pitch.

He was completely and utterly free – that was awful defending.

GOOOAL! It is that man Mueller, who is unmarked on the six-yard-box to volley Kroos’ corner past Julio Cesar. Poor, poor defending.

Marcelo, who is really pushing on, loses it high up the pitch but Germany can’t make it count as Khedira’s cross is blocked for a corner.

After a flurry of play there is a slight hiatus for a couple of late challenges on Brazilian defenders.

Khedira gets Germany in down the right. Mueller crosses and Ozil tees up the arriving Khedira but his shot – that looked on target – hits Kroos. That was a chance.

Looks like Brazil are looking for long switches of play early on. It has unsettled the Germans that is for sure but is yet to yield any clear-cut chances.

Germany have their first concerted period of pressure but Oscar steals in to nick the ball as Brazil continue to press well. His attempted through ball is blocked for a throw but Brazil have started the brightest.

Luiz finds Hulk with a sweeping switch of play and he looks for Bernard central but Neuer is alert to the danger and claims at the feet of the diminutive winger.

Good few early touches for Bernard who has been neat. The ball finds its way to Marcelo, who drops a shoulder but fizzes his effort wide of goal from 20-odd yards.

Brazil begin in the ascendancy and have an early corner that is swung over by Oscar but it is defended with ease.
