The reducer!

Goodness me. Vedran Corluka gives the ball away and then slices through Neymar as the maestro lined up a pass 25 yards out. Corluka in the book. A real hatchet man job.

Into the last 25 minutes. Next goal may win it.

"If viewers at home had access to a Luis Felipe Scolari cam, it would make for pretty entertaining viewing. The Brazil coach is not one to linger long in his dugout and for the past five minutes he has been ranting about what he sees as a lack of protection for his players. He is furious.

"He has though, made his first change and that sees Hernanes come on for Paulinho. Similar players but Hernanes is slightly more attacking. He will, crucially, bring more energy."

Gilbert:, external Can see Croatia grabbing a result if this score holds until the last 10 minutes.

Adam:, external Got a feeling Sammir and Eduardo may come on and REALLY spoil the party.

And Brazil now make a change too. Spurs midfielder Paulinho is ditched, and on comes Hernanes. We just need an injection of life from somewhere.

A reminder that the other sides in Group A are Cameroon and Mexico. A point may not be bad for these two tonight.

First change of the night sees Croatia's Mateo Kovacic replaced by youngster Marcelo Brozovic, who only made his debut last Friday.

His agent said in 2012 that he 'plays like Andrea Pirlo.' Let's see.

Ivica Olic gets it out wide again and almost finds Nikica Jelavic in the middle. As Chrissy Waddle says, Croatia are coming back into the game now.

This half has not been anything like as entertaining. That may be a theme in the World Cup. It's hot and humid.

"I don't know if Brazil are feeling the pace after all the adrenaline of the first half but this past few minutes they are playing very slowly, their work-rate has dropped. Croatia on the other hand have really got the ball moving. Ivan Perisic is getting on the ball, and we're seeing some good play from them."

Plenty of probing and passing from Brazil but they have not opened up Croatia since the break. A rare attack for the visitors then sees Ivica Olic go down and looking for a foul but he gets no change from the Japanese referee.

Croatia have had 7% of the play since half-time (SEVEN).

"Ivica Olic has given Dani Alves a few problems going forward - as we saw with the opening goal - but he has let the Brazilian right-back roam forward far too many times and I wouldn't be surprised if he was the first player to be substituted tonight."

Croatia are pegged back now as Oscar wins a free-kick in the corner. The players, and the crowd, want a booking for Sime Vrsaljko but the referee is unmoved for now.

BBC's Brazilian Service has translated and curated a selection of tweets from Brazil fans watching tonight's match.

Everton Siemann:, external Neymar has got to keep his cool. The opposition are being tough on him and trying to make him get a second yellow card.

Maria:, external Now this will be Neymar's World Cup.

Oscar spins away from a man on the right and whips in a cross, but Dejan Lovren is strong as an ox to nut it clear. Wave after wave of yellow shirts pour forwards now.

BBC Sport's Kevin Kilbane on Twitter:, external "Another brilliant thing about the World Cup in Brazil - live games on internal flights. #dontmissakick."

That is brilliant...

We are back in business.

Here we go then - the teams are back out on the pitch. Who wants it more?

A bit of breaking news for Everton fans out there - and it's not one of your players leaving...

Everton have agreed a new five-year deal with manager Roberto Martinez. Sign him up!

I get the impression that the Brazilian host broadcasters are going to show the goalline technology camera angle for every replay - no matter how far over the line the ball is.

It is new in the World Cup though.

John:, external Barca fans didn't see this Neymar at all last season! The hopes of a nation on your shoulders must be a great motivator.

Seamus:, external Neymar brilliant, Neymar the genius, Neymar the saviour? Neymar the guy who should be taking an early bath with a red card?

Oliver:, external Since that cross at the start of the game, Olic has been terrible. Given the ball away so many times, in dangerous places too!

Argentina forward Lionel Messi on Facebook:, external The World Cup has started! Can't wait to be on the pitch. Good luck to all my Barca teammates, but try to avoid playing against us!
