19:09 (IST)28 JUL 2016

90+5': GOOOAAALLL! Man City 1-1 Borussia Dortmund

Dortmund play the corner short and Christian Pulisic blasts one in that goes low and beats Gunn with the last kick of the game!

19:08 (IST)28 JUL 2016

90+5': Some sustained pressure sees Dortmund win a late corner. Can they score?

19:06 (IST)28 JUL 2016

90+2': PENALTY? NO! Kagawa skips his way into the box but he's brought down near the edge of the box by Fernandinho. However, the referee waves away all appeals. Tuchel cannot believe it! 

19:03 (IST)28 JUL 2016

90': We're into five minutes of added on time (partly due to the water break) as Dortmund now search for an equaliser. 

19:01 (IST)28 JUL 2016

87': Dortmund have run out of ideas now. City are clearly running things and creating more chances. Just the final ball has let them down after the goal. 

18:58 (IST)28 JUL 2016

84': Guardiola responds by making a few more subs. Nolito and Raheem Sterling get a few minutes before the final whistle. 

18:53 (IST)28 JUL 2016

79': GOOOAAAALLL! Man City 1-0 Borussia Dortmund

Man City finally open the scoring with a wonderfully worked team goal. David Silva is found on the left with a through ball and Sergio Aguero stays onside to receive the pass and tap it in. 

That's the first goal of the Guardiola era! 

18:50 (IST)28 JUL 2016

76': CASTROOOOO.... MISS! HOW DID HE NOT SCORE? He's released through on goal as the City defence is destroyed but his shot sails over the bar. That should have been 1-0!

18:47 (IST)28 JUL 2016

73': Dortmund go close! A counter down the right sees a cross come into the box but City recover and clear the danger. 

18:43 (IST)28 JUL 2016

68': It's time for the second-half water break now. Brought to you by the 31°C temperature here in Shenzhen. 

18:36 (IST)28 JUL 2016

18:41 (IST)28 JUL 2016

62': Bony shoots and wastes another opportunity as it is parried away. He showed great strength to win the ball, turn and advance forward. But Toure is unhappy that he didn't go for the pass instead. 

18:33 (IST)28 JUL 2016

60': It's all tiki-taka for Pep's City at the moment but Dortmund's high line has kept them at bay. They're struggling to find an opening and whenever one of Aguero, Bony or Silva make a run they are flagged for offside

18:31 (IST)28 JUL 2016

57': Still 0-0 here but City are now stringing some passes together and actually have more possession than the German side. 

18:26 (IST)28 JUL 2016

18:25 (IST)28 JUL 2016

52': The fans are getting in on the action and are performing the Icelandic Thunder Clap that became famous the world over at Euro 2016. 

18:24 (IST)28 JUL 2016

50': City playing with a little more purpose now. Aguero still has pace to burn and makes a surging run through the midfield. But he passes it back to Toure under pressure who finds Bony in an offside position. 

18:24 (IST)28 JUL 2016

47': Sergio Aguero looks a bit on the heavy side. Looks like he's been gorging on food to get over the Copa America loss during his holidays. It's going to take a while to return to full fitness. 

18:19 (IST)28 JUL 2016

The second half is now underway! 

18:18 (IST)28 JUL 2016

Man City's XI looks a lot more familiar now: Gunn, Maffeo, Denayer, Adarabioyo, Kolarov, Toure, Garcia, Fernandinho, Silva, Aguero, Bony

18:17 (IST)28 JUL 2016

Man City are also giving the fourth official a long workout with his digital board. This is going to take a while... Oh, look! Aguero is coming on. 

18:15 (IST)28 JUL 2016

Annnd we're back for the second half. As expected, Dortmund have replaced half their side. Yes, literally. We've lost track of who's come off and who's coming on. 

18:02 (IST)28 JUL 2016

17:56 (IST)28 JUL 2016

HALF-TIME: Manchester City 0-0 Borussia Dortmund

17:54 (IST)28 JUL 2016

45+1': Iheanachooooo... SAVED! That was their best chance of the half but Burki ensures the Nigerian striker doesn't find the target. What a save! 

17:53 (IST)28 JUL 2016

45': Navas is through on the right after a neat one-two but Bartra is on hand again to make a sliding tackle to stop Navas in his tracks. That was well read by the former Barca defender. 

17:52 (IST)28 JUL 2016

44': Dortmund have a corner and the delivery into the box is perfect! However, the ball is headed away by Otamendi who was first to it. A superb clearance! 

17:51 (IST)28 JUL 2016

42': A little bit of tiredness creeping in thanks to the climate. We'll surely see some changes at half-time. 

17:47 (IST)28 JUL 2016

38': The pitch is breaking up in certain sections and not exactly conducive to a good game of football. The players are clearly struggling and unable to pass along the ground. 

17:43 (IST)28 JUL 2016

35': Schmelzer gets in behind City's defence again on the left. His cut-back sees Emre Mor try and take a shot first time but it's a very comfortable save for Caballero. 

17:43 (IST)28 JUL 2016

34': City have a free-kick. The ball is delivered to the far post but Dortmund clear. The fans are cheering, though. No, not because of the attempt on goal but because a few of the City stars are now warming up on the synthetic track separating the pitch and the stands. 

17:42 (IST)28 JUL 2016

29': Zinchenko tricks now one but two defenders near the box and gets past them both. But City just can't do anything with the ball as it is cleared. That was some decent skill from the 19-year-old midfielder. 

17:36 (IST)28 JUL 2016

28': Dortmund get another chance as a through ball releases Ramos in space behind the two centre-backs. But Caballero comes out again and makes a timely save. That was close!

17:33 (IST)28 JUL 2016

24': The game comes to a halt for a water break. It's 31 degrees Celsius in Shenzhen today - definitely not what both teams are used to back in Europe! 

17:31 (IST)28 JUL 2016

22': The game has slowed down a bit now that both teams have settled down. City have had some more chances but have simply failed to do anything with the ball in the final third. 

17:27 (IST)28 JUL 2016

18': Delph tries his luck from waaay out and it flies harmlessly over the bar. That was a poor effort after evading two players with a sublime turn just moments before that.
