    It's foggy in Belarus, it has been for the whole game but it's getting tricky to see things. Not too tricky to see this game out or anything.

    Bate Borisov 0-1 Chelsea

    Free-kick to Bate, who don't forget are still in contention to qualify. They send plenty of men forward and then don't even play the ball into the box.

    Bate Borisov 0-1 Chelsea

    Chelsea bring on England Under-19 winger Callum Hudson-Odoi for Pedro. He turned 18 yesterday. Hudson-Odoi, not Pedro.

    Pedro plays in a wonderful through-ball and Bate's keeper does well to throw himself at the feet of Willian and deny the Brazilian.

    Bate Borisov 0-1 Chelsea

    There's been more to discuss about the kit than the football for most of this one

    Peter: Chelsea's kit reminds me of their 90's strip which I thought I would never see again!

    Jasse Tuominen is lively, he wins the ball off Mateo Kovacic but slips before he can make something of it.

    Now Chelsea midfielder Jorginho pops one over the bar from distance.

    Bate Borisov 0-1 Chelsea

    Jasse Tuominen's first touch is a tasty backheel to captain Igor Stasevich, who has a chance to set up a counter-attack if he gets this pass out to the left wing right. But he doesn't, it's cut out.

    Florian Thauvin has given Marseille hope against Lazio, that's 2-1 now.

    Sevilla's lead at Akhisarspor is looking less secure. it's now 2-1 and Sevilla are down to 10 men - with the hosts missing the chance to equalise from a penalty.

    Twenty minutes to go. Chelsea are looking comfortable at the moment but Bate have shown in little spells they are capable.

    The pale blues could do with a second goal to clinch this.
