25' And it is very close to an opener. The 31-year-old whips in his set-piece and it is inches over the bar. The Genk keeper looked worried with that effort.

24' Pre-season friendly? Try telling that to Wayne Rooney who battles to win the ball and now has a free-kick 30 yards out.
15:27
21' Genk are lively, notably Leandro Trossard. He's back in the thick of the action when he collects a through ball and sees his first-time effort drift narrowly wide. The hosts have been dangerous.

15:53

It's been an entertaining 45 minutes, with Genk giving Ronald Koeman's men plenty to think about, too.
15:52 Half-time: Genk 0-1 Everton
Great timing by the Blues as Rooney's second goal since returning to Everton separates the sides at the break.

It's Rooney again. Sandro's delightful centre from wide right is met first time by Rooney at the back post and the forward slots home with his left foot.
15:49
44' Klaassen in the action again. From wide on the left, his whipped cross is met by Keane - who was forward for the free-kick - and the defender loops a header inches over the crossbar.

16:09 Second Half
Stekelenburg is on for Pickford, while Mirallas and Martina replace Sandro and Holgate.

16:11

16:15 Shift In Attack
52' Mirallas is playing wide left, with Rooney now the main man in attack. Martina is a straight swap for Holgate.

16:22
57' What a save from Stekelenburg! It looks a certain Genk goal when Samatta thunders in a header but the Dutchman somehow parries the ball onto the bar before Keane clears with the ball inches away from crossing the line.

16:26
63' Everton then go down the other end and Gana's long-range shot is tipped over the bar by Jackers.
16:25

16:29 Blues Changes
66' Connolly, Barry and Lookman are about to come on.
16:27

Too many chances for my liking
We need to keep winning

16:44
81' Everton pushing for a winner. Calvert-Lewin's attempted through ball to Lookman is cut out.

16:53 Sharpy's Nod
90' Club ambassador Graeme Sharp is on evertontv commentary this afternoon and has picked out Wayne Rooney as his pick of the Blues players. It's his goal that had the Toffees ahead, and Everton are pushing to regain their lead.
16:51 Short Break In Play
The action resumes after an injury for the hosts to Brabec. Can either side find a winner?

16:56 And That's That 1-1
FT | It ends all square at the Luminus Arena.
16:56 Blues Press
90' Into extra time. Lookman sees a shot blocked then Connolly whips over a beauty of a cross for Calvert-Lewin, who is just beaten to it.

I watched it. Some ok performances but it was a typical preseason performance from us and Genk were getting stuck in.
