Good evening and welcome to LIVE coverage of the World Cup Group G clash between Germany and Ghana from the Estadio Castelao in Fortaleza.

Suggestions are that Loew thought Boateng was being too exposed on the right side, allowing Ghana to break at pace. Let's see if the introduction of Mustafi helps solve that problem.

So that's an interesting change by Loew. Mustafi, the 22 year old, has come on for Boateng at right back for Germany. Has that change been prompted by injury? Didn't think he was playing too badly.

The second half has started in Fortaleza!

What did you make of the first half? Should Loew be thinking about putting on Klose? Can Ghana come away with a win here? What changes should they make? Tweet me !

Germany have been the better team in the first half, and have been in behind Ghana two or three times, but on the whole it's been quite an even game. Ghana will take encourgament from their performance.

HALF TIME: Germany 0-0 Ghana

One minute of stoppage time to be played.

Ayew jumps highest from a cross into the box, beating Boateng to the ball, but his header comes off the head of the German defender and away for a cornerl, which comes to nothing, despite a flap from Neuer.

Ghana come forward before the break, looking to create their first real goalscoring chance of the first half. Just like against the USA, they've lacked creativity and invention in the final third.

The ironic thing about that pass Muller just played is that, that is the kind of cross he thrives on. He would have thrown himself at the ball had he been in the box, and not playing the pass.

Lahm combines with Muller again, with the former playing the latter through to the byline, but his fizzed pass across the face of goal can't find a teammate, and it pops out the other side.

Lahm comes forward and looks to be lining up the shot from the edge of the box, but he resists the temptation and plays it into Muller instead, who can't do much with it. Should have taken the ping.

The tempo of this game hasn't quite been what we've been used to at this World Cup. The heat is having an impact on the players, that's for sure.

Dauda has to be on alert to save from Gotze, who was played through by Ozil. The ball sat up nicely for the shot by the keeper got everything he has behind the effort to make th stop.

Mertesacker comes up from the back for a corner kick, which Ghana defends well and takes control of the ball from. But they can't expose the space left by the defender at the back, and Germany come forward again.

Gyan uses his pace to get in behind Mertesacker and Boateng, and springs into the box from a tight angle. He gets to his knock-on ahead of Neuer but the keeper does enough to put him off and forces him out of play.

OOOFT! Muntari thumps a shot towards goal from about 20 yards, putting all his weight behind the effort. But Neuer gets behind it to beat away from his goal. What a shot.

Ghana push Germany high up the pitch and win the ball on the edge of their box, but as has proved the case so often at this World Cup, their final product is missing and the cross goes long.

Muller is such fascinating player to watch. His makes such darting diagonal runs all over the pitch. He does work along the lines that a traditional striker would.

Gotze breaks in behind the Ghana defence, surging into the box at speed. He only has one man in the box - Muller - but Boye cuts out his cut-back to his Bayern Munich teammate.
