Sheriff are starting the second half bright, as they did the first, but David de Gea holds a cross.

Diogo Dalot finds Bruno Fernandes, whose first-time shot is saved by the keeper's legs.

Almost a proper chance for Sheriff early on but Mouhamed Diop gets the ball into Rasheed Akanbi wrong.

It's three changes for West Ham from their last match, a 3-1 win over Romanian side FCSB in their Europa Conference League Group B opener.

Craig Dawson, Aaron Cresswell and Lucas Paqueta come in for Angelo Ogbonna, Flynn Downes and Said Benrahma.

West Ham XI: Areola, Coufal, Kehrer, Dawson, Cresswell, Emerson, Rice, Lanzini, Lucas Paqueta, Scamacca, Cornet.

Subs: Fabianski, Randolph, Ogbonna, Zouma, Coventry, Soucek, Downes, Fornals, Benrahma, Bowen, Antonio.

The second half begins with Casemiro replacing Scott McTominay in United's midfield.

Thilo Kehrer says playing in the Europa Conference League is a "privilege" and that West Ham "want to go as far as possible".

"Winning the first game was important to us. We know that good results in the group lead to getting to the next round," he said.

"We want to continue with that tomorrow and then get out of the group."

When asked why he chose to join the Hammers in the summer, the Germany defender said: "The club is getting bigger and it’s a really interesting project.

"The team, the coaching staff, the ideas that are here and the values that are shown – those were the most important reasons for me."

On West Ham's growing reputation in Europe, he added: "I think it’s a name that gets bigger and bigger. You see the signings that came in the summer and the last season the club had, it’s very positive."

Feyenoord lead Sturm Graz 4-0 at the break, the biggest score tonight so far.

Former Brighton player Alireza Jahanbakhsh has scored twice.

Sheriff played well in that half but none of their seven shots were on target. United should be heading for three points here unless the second half goes disastrously.

The half-time whistle goes.

United are in control thanks to Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo goals.

Bruno Fernandes is close to going round the keeper but it rolls just out of play. There was a danger of a penalty there too before the keeper pulled out.

That was Cristiano Ronaldo's 699th goal at club level. Can he find number 700 today?

Patrick Kpozo was booked for his foul on Diogo Dalot for that penalty.

It had been a good goalline clearance by Sheriff captain Stjepan Radeljic to deny Jadon Sancho a minute before that penalty.

Diogo Dalot goes down in the box after being clipped by Patrick Kpozo and the referee points to the spot.

Jadon Sancho is so close to a second goal for United!

His shot is cleared off the line.

More on that when I eventually see a replay...

Real Sociedad are on course for six points in this group. Ander Guevara has just given them the lead over Neil Lennon's Omonia.

Chance for Cristiano Ronaldo as a Sheriff player accidentally knocks a ball into his path but his effort from near the corner of the box sails over the bar.

Sheriff are playing well again.

Patrick Kpozo and Rasheed Akanbi both hit shots off target from outside the box. It's 5-2 on shots... although 0-1 on goals.
