Substitute Sandro Wagner is 6ft 4in so it's no surprise that Germany go for the aerial route. He is nearly found at the back post as well, but Thiago Silva just about manages to head it away from the goal.

Germany's Julian Draxler gets involved in the game for the first time and shoots at goal, but Dani Alves takes all the sting out of the shot and it is easy for Alisson, who has not been overly tested so far.

Three changes for the Germans. Leroy Sane, who has not had the best of evenings, goes off, along with the impressive Leon Goretzka. On come Lars Stindl and Julian Brandt. Then Sandro Wagner replaces Mario Gomez.

Some lovely football by Brazil. A beautiful stepover from Philippe Coutinho fools the home defence and that allows Willian to strike at goal.

But one Chelsea man blocks another as Antonio Rudiger throws himself in front of the ball to stop the shot.

The chance is still there though and it falls to Paulinho, but he is denied by a five diving save by Kevin Trapp. A confidence-boost for the keeper, who should have done better for Jesus' first-half goal.

Boateng is back on the pitch, hobbling a bit, but back out there. But you would think Joachim Low would not risk him for much longer if he is in too much pain.

Germany 0-1 Brazil

Worrying moments for Germany captain Jerome Boateng. He is chasing for the ball along with Gabriel Jesus and the Manchester City player rakes his studs down the back of Boateng's leg. It looked accidental though with Jesus' eyes on the ball.

Boateng needs some treatment on the sidelines and every German will be hoping the influential Bayern Munich man is OK.

Kyle: Hopefully the goal from Jesus will mean we will get a more open second half. Brazil just about deserve it. Lovely header from Jesus after he missed a great chance a few minutes earlier.

We are back under way in Berlin. Work for the hosts to do if they are to preserve their unbeaten run, which currently stands at 22 matches.

They will equal their best ever run if they avoid defeat.

We were expecting Germany to change their goalkeepers at half-time, but Joachim Low has opted against that.

Kevin Trapp, who did his World Cup hopes no good by fumbling that Jesus header in the first half, remains in between the posts.

A few other scores...

• England 1-0 Italy (half-time)
• Hungary 0-1 Scotland (full time)
• Belgium 2-0 Saudi Arabia (47 minutes)
• Spain 1-0 Argentina (20 minutes)
• Poland 2-0 South Korea (46 minutes)
• Greece 1-0 Egypt (full-time)
• Poland 2-0 South Korea (46 minutes)

Jamie Vardy has given England the lead in their match at Wembley against Italy. Thirty-seven minutes gone in that one and you can follow all the action from that one over here.

And that is the end of the first half. Few chances for both sides, but Gabriel Jesus' header late in the first half is the difference between the teams.

The Manchester City man had missed an earlier chance and the hosts have created few chances, despite Leon Goretzka impressing down the right flank.

Brazil manager Tite kicked the air in his technical area after that Jesus miss.

But the Manchester City forward's goal moments later means he is Brazil's top scorer since Tite's reign started in September 2016: nine goals.

A slight chance for the hosts. Marvin Plattenhardt swings it in from the left, deep where Joshua Kimmich is running in and he can only head off target.

At the other end, Gabriel Jesus should do better but shoots well over.

In the World Cup, Brazil are in Group E, which also contains Switzerland, Costa Rica and Serbia, while Germany are in Group F with Mexico, Sweden and South Korea.

If one of Brazil or Germany wins their group and the other one only finishes second in theirs then they will meet each other in the last-16.

Leon Goretzka, the Schalke man, looks a handful on the right wing. His low cross falls to Mario Gomez, but the striker, under pressure from Casemiro, can only steer the ball well wide from a tight angle.

Germany 0-0 Brazil

A painful one for Thiago Silva. He heads clear at the near post from a ball played into the area, but unfortunately for him goalkeeper Alisson thought he could get there first and only manages to punch his captain in the head. Maybe not the best thing to do.

Silva seems OK to carry on though.

It is never a good sign when the Mexican Wave goes around.

Normally that means that the fare on the pitch is not the best. We have the best two teams in the world, but the Mexican Wave goes around the Olympiastadion after only 26 minutes.

Once again, Philippe Coutinho is the man causing the problems. He is direct and fast, sprinting past two German defenders.

He gives the ball to Gabriel Jesus, but it is a rare error from the Manchester City man, who passes to absolutely no-one. Opportunity, vanished.
