28'
Benayoun can release Torres here but the through ball is a tiny bit too close to the defender Marcano and the danger is gone.
28'
Lampard swings in a high cross but Moses's header is too close to Ryzhikov.
27'
Back to the game, Rubin are offering very little. Chelsea may as well try and get a few more.
26'
Nope, that didn't work. Worth a try. You can see the new pic on our homepage anyway, leading the Chelsea live.
25'
Little experiment - online users should be able to see a picture of Chelsea celebrating that Torres goal. Unlikely to work for mobile...
24'
Eremenko swings in a high ball that Cech gathers with minimal fuss.
23'
Very scrappy now as Chelsea fight for every ball and Rubin frankly shirk the challenge.
22'
Torres tries to go on a run but Rubin have men back. He has been quite sensational over these two legs - Rafa should start him for the run-in, it can't hurt!
21'
Finally Rubin get the ball forward but Rondon thrashes a low shot well wide in the end.
20'
Rubin look like a team who have been broken in two. They're passing it around with little conviction.
18'
Karadeniz fouls Moses on the Chelsea left and it's a free-kick that the Blues will take their time over.
17'
Poor clearance from Cesar Navas allows Moses in down the left but his low drive is easy for the keeper.
16'
Free-kick to Chelsea on the left. Lampard to swing it in but Luiz was offside as Navas heads clear.
14'
Torres somehow wins it back, surges in down the right and swings over a super cross that skims the head of a leaping Benayoun and lands just beyond Ramires!
13'
Torres with some superb hold-up play but Benayoun can't get on to the through ball.
12'
The throw is sent to the far post but Torres can't connect properly and Rubin have a goal kick.
11'
Bit of possession now by Chelsea until Ramires gives it away. They do get it back through Torres, now Benayoun keeps the move ticking over until Marcano slides in.
9'
Chelsea are good at spoiling and that is exactly what they are doing now, making it a stop-start affair and disrupting any attacking rhythm the hosts hoped to get into.
7'
It was such a bright start for the hosts but now they have an almost insurmountable task. There is time for Chelsea to fall to pieces but, really, I can't see it.
6'
Route one as Lampard hit he up-and-under first time to release El Nino, who exploited the madcap rush of keeper Ryzhikov to lob it in. Earlier this season it would have hit the post.

GOAL CHELSEA! FERNANDO TORRES WITH A BEAUTY! Lampard with a ball over the top and Torres got clear of Marcano and lobbed the onrushing keeper from 30 yards!
