Around 10 minutes left in the first half in Hong Kong.

Bizarre scenes inside the Bird's Nest.

Arsene Wenger is having a huge argument with an official on the sidelines.

Olivier Giroud, who was not listed as a substitute, has come on at the start of the second half.

It's only a friendly but Chelsea are well on top against Arsenal.

The Gunners could do with Olivier Giroud. The French striker is at the Bird's Nest but isn't listed among the substitutes.

Another drinks break. That's two in the opening half an hour. Did I mention it's a hot and humid night in Beijing?

It's accidental and both go down heavily but Pedro has come off worse.
