Kai Havertz cuts in from the right but then drags an awful shot wide of the near post. Graham Potter applauds anyway.

Bournemouth have their first shot since the second minute as half-time sub Jaidon Anthony's 25-yard drive is held by Kepa. Fairly central.

Deflected off Jorginho's back actually.

That's really worrying. We've seen how key James has been for Chelsea. Not only defensively, his bursting runs going forward, his bursting runs into the box.

It's the way he went down and has got his head in his hands. He looks gutted.

Reece James' comeback from injury lasts 52 minutes. He's replaced by Cesar Azpilicueta. He does walk off so hopefully it's nothing too serious.

Reece James is down injured. He's getting treatment.

Marc Cucurella flies down the left for Chelsea and finds Raheem Sterling, whose cross comes to nothing.

'Reece James, he's one of our own' sing the Chelsea fans.

Chelsea keeper Kepa probably forgot he was playing at times in the first half. Marc Cucurella's back-pass gives him something to think about but he deals with it.

I don't want to say that wasn't a great kick-off for Bournemouth but they conceded a free-kick for a foul on Mason Mount about five seconds later.

When you come to grounds like this, you have to be competitive, you have to get up to the ball, you have to make sure that they haven't got the time and space to play. Bournemouth haven't done that at all. Gary [O'Neil] will be really disappointed.

They've not laid a glove on Chelsea really. I haven't seen a challenge yet, I haven't seen a tackle, I haven't seen anyone really committed to change the course of the tide.

Reading lead Swansea 2-0 in the Championship. Follow that one here.

Bournemouth won two of their 31 Premier League matches when trailing by at least two goals at half-time (W2 D2 L27).

But one of those wins came on the last of these 31 occasions, a 3-2 win at Nottingham Forest on 3 September.

Chelsea have been brilliant, passing through Bournemouth like they are not there. Sterling getting on the ball, Reece James looks up to speed already. Mason Mount has got his goal. Chelsea are moving the ball so well, but Bournemouth on the other hand, it's been terrible.

Chelsea should really be out of sight already. Bournemouth have offered very, very little and were lucky not to concede at the end as Reece James' snap-shot was beaten away by Mark Travers. He made an even better save just after to keep out Raheem Sterling.

Chelsea are very, very good value for their advantage. Remember that they've gone three games without a goal and they've now scored twice in the first half and should've had even more really.

Chelsea are unbeaten in their last 10 Premier League matches when leading at half-time (W7 D3), dating back to 4 December 2021 against West Ham.
