See you there!
Union Berlin aren't totally clear of relegation danger just yet and that was a limp performance, particularly in the second half. Trouble ahead?
Hertha Berlin 4-0 Union Berlin
A second-half thashing.

Testimonial stuff now. Paul Merson and Lee Hendrie wouldn't look out of place.

Hertha Berlin 4-0 Union Berlin
Hertha could win a home match in the Bundesliga by at least a four-goal margin since 10 August 2013, when they defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 6-1.
Dedryck Boyata (77 mins)
Thumping header, thumping win.
Chalk up a fourth for Hertha as Union are crushed now. The rain is lashing down as well. Marvin Plattenhardt's corner is whipped in and former Manchester City centre-half Dedryck Boyata gets there to slam it into the back of the net.
Hertha Berlin 3-0 Union Berlin
My wife's just asked me if I'm busy for the fourth time since half-time. I mean it's all relative but, yes.
Fifteen minutes left.
I think it was internet related rather than the viability of my stream but there we go. Occupational hazard for us for now.

Tom mate, do you need me to share some login details so you don't have to watch on a dodgy stream?
Hertha Berlin 3-0 Union Berlin
I think, from the resulting drop in volume, that the handful of people in the ground who were making any noise at all were from the Union Berlin camp.
It's properly silent now. Twenty minutes left as both sides make changes - they can make five each now.

I've missed soccer so bad. This is really raising my spirits. Thank you Germany.

Matheus Cunha (61 mins)
I saw that one! Beauty.
It's a home hammering in the derby now. Matheus Cunha's footwork on the left of the area is very nice indeed, he tees up Dodi Lukebakio for an attempted overhead. He slices the effort, but when Vedad Ibisevic lays it back to Cunha just inside the area he curls into the bottom corner.
Hertha Berlin 2-0 Union Berlin
It was some header for the opener, a brilliant finish.
Vedad Ibisevic now has 43 Bundesliga goals for Hertha, exactly the amount he bagged for Hoffenheim.
Hertha Berlin 2-0 Union Berlin
Right, where was I? It's 2-0 to the hosts and as we approach the hour mark that could well be game over.
We're back! Let me try and watch the goals and I'll tell you what happened.
My first live text from home and my stream has gone down seconds before two goals.
This has gone well.
Dodi Lukebakio (52 mins)
And it's two in a minute! Livewire Dodi Lukebakio springs the defence, rounds the keeper and fires in.
If there was a crowd in they'd be going nuts.
Vedad Ibisevic (51 mins)
Breakthrough! And it's the veteran Vedad Ibisevic, who has scored in every Bundesliga season since 2006, who heads in the opener. Pick that one out.
Hertha Berlin 0-0 Union Berlin
Hertha slice through the Union defence once more, Dodi Lukebakio has his shot well saved once more, but he was offside.
At the other end Union almost get in but Dedryck Boyata makes a vital near-post block.
