And here’s Nicky Hayen, whose first day in English league football suddenly went right after 82 minutes. “Really pleased of course,” he says. “We showed resiience and character. They were really clinical and we weren’t, [but] at the end we levelled up and I’m really pleased for everyone at Burnley.”

Where did it come from? “The energy we showed,” he reckons. “And we didn’t play with fear … This team wants to go [for it] every single game. That’s what we’ve promised the fans: we go for 95 minutes.”

Time for me to go and watch The Hundred. If you haven’t heard about it, it’s a month of high-speed cricket which traditionally ends with Sam Billings lifting a trophy.

Thanks for your company and I’ll be back for the Test match on Thursday. Do have a look at Will Unwin’s match report from Turf Moor.

Time for a glance at the table. Yes, I know it’s early doors, but what the table lacks in reliability, it makes up in light entertainment. West Ham are 10th and Burnley 11th.

Not sure how that works, as they’re surely either dead level, or Burnley are ahead on alphabetical order. Anyway, both are solid mid-table. Top of the pile are QPR, the only team so far to have won by two goals and scored three. Millwall are just behind them, also on +2 GD, followed by six clubs who won their first game by a single goal – Swansea, West Brom, Bolton, Charlton, Middlesbrough and Watford.

And at the bottom? Southampton. That will be music to the ears of many a true football supporter.

Zian Flemming, the man of the moment, is the Player of the Match. “I think we were quite good for the entire game to be fair,” he says. “Overall we deserved even more than a point. The lads and mysefl need to do better with the chances we had. To be fair, I’d rather miss a chance than not have the chance at all.”

“That’s what he did all of last season,” says his captain, Kyle Walker. “He always gives 100 per cent and he got his reward.”

Walker is asked how he found his first Championship game for 15 years. “It was enjoyable,” he says with a chuckle. “It’s a pleasure to play with these lads – they work hard, they give it their all.”

West Ham lost 20 points from winning positions last season. And they’ve squandered two more today.

It was our old friend, a game of two halves. West Ham dominated the first 50 minutes, but Burnley showed spirit and spark and they got their rewards in the end. Zian Flemming summed up Burnley’s performance, wasting chance after chance, but putting all that out of his mind as he scored with a cool penalty and an added-time equaliser that was scruffy but effective.

90+6 min Maybe it was a knock, as Diouf picked up a yellow card. Burnley come again with ten men.

90+5 min There’s a lull as Flemming is treated for something that looks like cramp. He’s earned a breather.

90+3 min West Ham find their way into the box, but Burnley see them off and get up the other end. Broja has the ball 12 yards out and he slips it out to the left, but the move peters out as the wide players aren’t on the same page.

90 min Nuno sends on a defender (Joel Veltman) for a forward (the excellent Solomon), but it’s still Burnley on the attack. Amdouni shoots over the bar as the sign goes up to say we’ll have five more minutes.

89 min Burnley on the march again. Laurent, on the left, drills in a cross that could be a shot. It’s begging for a flick but doesn’t get one.

87 min Nuno takes action, pulling Scarles off and sending on El Hadji Malick Diouf, who is only the second sub for West Ham today.

85 min So Burnley have a lifeline. The Turf Moor crowd, who have been either loud or silent, turn up the volume. They love it now when Scarles takes too long over a throw and gets penalised under the new rule (throw to Burnley).

80 min Burnley have gone a bit ragged now. Nicky Hayen gambles by sending on his fifth sb, Mike Tresor, for Jacob Bruun Larsen, who could easily have had an assist or two with his tireless crosses.

77 min Subs for Burnley – Lucas Pires on for Bashir Humphreys, Armando Broja for Aaron Ramsey. And they had a couple of subs earlier that I missed, sorry: Josh Laurent for Ugo Raghouber, Zeki Amdouni for Hannibal Mejbri.

76 min Hats off to Nuno, who had just rejigged his team for the second time this afternoon. He moved Ward-Prowse into the centre of midfield to stiffen West Ham’s spine. That led to the free kick, a chance for Kilman, a shot from Bowen (blocked by Kilman), and ultimately to the second goal.

75 min Burnley have been so bright going forward and so brittle at the back.

73 min Solomon cost West Ham about £5 million. Cheap at the price.

70 min After going to sleep for 20 minutes, West Ham are back at it. They win a free kick 40 yards out which Ward-Prowse will take.

69 min The traffic is still one-way. Burnley are in the box again and Josh Laurent opts to cross from the inside-right channel, when he could have taken a shot.

67 min Castellanos is back on the field and itching for revenge on Walker. He takes it with an elbow into the back, and collects a well-earned booking.

66 min The replay shows that it was actually off the shoulder, like a ballgown.

64 min Burnley are still the better team. They bustle down the left and win a corner, which Bruun Larsen whips in. It’s – guess what – a header for Flemming, which is cleared off the line!

62 min Big chance for Burnley! Edwards jinks into space on the right and curls in a cultured left-foot cross. Flemming has yet another header and it’s his best one yet, going downwards, with intent, beating Hermansen … and hitting the post.

60 min As the hourglass flips over, the game comes to a halt. Taty Castellanos took a bang on the head as he went up for the ball with Kyle Walker. He’s back on his feet but walking off for a breather.

59 min Burnley have been the better team for the past five minutes. And they’ve had more shots overall (10-7), even theirs have included a few long ones.

57 min Do you remember Kyle Walker crossing the ball, baclk in the day? He hasn’t forgotten how to do it. He curls the ball in now, albeit from centre-back, and presents Flemming with another header, which goes over the bar.

55 min Burnley get upfield but Mejbri’s shot is well wide. This prompts a volley of alliteration from one of the commentators: “It’s hit-and-hope from Hannibal.”

54 min West Ham stroke the ball around smoothly before Kilman’s long ball is too long for Solomon.

52 min Burnley show some purpose. First Edwards and Sonne combine down the right, only to see Orford clear; then Bruun Larsen sends in a delicious cross from the left, which Flemming heads crisply – but straight at Hermansen.

50 min Nothing doing for a couple of minutes, which will suit West Ham fine.

47 min Ward-Prowse hits his first dead ball now, curling in a corner from the left, which Max Weiss clears with a confident punch.

46 min Scrap that – Bowen has moved inside to play as a second striker, so it’s as you were. With Ward-Prowse on the field, West Ham’s set pieces should be even more dangerous.

The players are out there and among them is an old friend of the home crowd. James Ward-Prowse, now back with West Ham, is on for Pablo. That’s a midfielder for a striker, so it looks as if Nuno is switching to a 4-2-3-1.

45+1 min We’re into the one and only added minute. Bowen’s corner leads to another, but this time there’s no cheap goal on offer.

45 min Bowen is on manoeuvres again, as Castellanos drops deep to send a lovely through ball round the corner down the right. Humphreys tracks him and shovels the ball out for a corner.

42 min Right on cue, Solomon jinks through the box and finds enough space to take a shot, but it balloons into the crowd.

42 min As a cross comes in from Manor Solomon on the left, Bowen can’t quite get a touch. Everybody’s been saying that Bowen is going to be the best player in the Championship, but Solomon is not to be underestimated. When he was at Leeds a couple of years ago, he did a lot to get them promoted with 22 goal involvements.

40 min Before that, a replay showed that Bowen was the filling in a sandwich, as Walker and Alleyne converged on him, but he wasn’t fouled. Not just a sandwich, but a Man City sandwich.

39 min Another promising counter-attack from Burnley as Mejbri dribbles from his own half into the box, but you can see him not knowing what to do next and his flick fails to reach the nearest claret shirt.

36 min Bowen goes down as he tries to get on the end of Walker-Peters’ low cross. The West Ham fans want a penalty, but Josh Smith is not inclined to agree. Where’s VAR when you need it?

35 min Buoyed by Humphreys’ solo voyage, Zian Flemming tries a long shot and it’s a rasping one that goes just wide.

33 min Bashir Humphreys does well, dribbling through mid-town in a bid to get Burnley upfield, and drawing a cynical foul from Mohamadou Kante, who goes into the book.

31 min Bowen spins to send in a cross with his weaker foot, his right, then sends one in with his left. Neither strikes gold but there’s soon a shot from Castellanos, just wide. West Ham are looking very comfy now.

27 min Mejbri and Edwards combine to work their way through the middle of the park in a move that ends with yet another shot for Aaron Ramsey. The good news is that it’s on target; the bad news is that it’s a bit limp.

24 min The cameras find a face in the crowd: David Moyes. This game would surely not be happening if he’d stayed at West Ham.

22 min West Ham almost get away but Max Alleyne, making his Burnley debut, shows pace and composure to see off the danger. This may be one of the best things done by a Man City player today.

19 min Here is a collector’s item: a header from outside the box. It’s Oliver Sonne, taking a punt with his head after Mads Hermansen comes out of his area and shanks a clearance. For a moment it looks as if it’s going in, which would have made Sonne’s name instantly.

17 min Correction! Burnley are playing a back four, not a back three. Kyle Walker, who is used to playing centre-back but not as one of only two, loses the ball easily, which leads to a free kick. Bowen takes it and again finds a West Ham head – Mavropanos, whose header loops over the bar.

13 min Chance for Burnley! They get forward fast and fluently, but Ramsey slips as he hits the ball from the D (again) and sends it wide (again).

11 min In his 68th appearance for West Ham, Max Kilman scores his first goal. All he had to do was wait for Bowen’s pinpoint corner and nod the ball down at the far post.

8 min West Ham need to get going and they do, putting together an intricate move on the left and eventually finding Bowen, whose shot is easily blocked.

6 min Bruun Larsen wins a corner off Walker-Peters. Mejbri’s ball is too long and too high to find a taker, but this has been a fine six minutes from Burnley.

4 min Burnley have another shot! It’s Aaron Ramsey, capitalising on some neat midfield play but sending his shot wide from the D.

3 min Both teams already showing intent, and now Burnley are in the box again, but nothing comes of it.

2 min … and Burnley race up the other end, where Zian Flemming has the first shot of the day. It’s a volley, just over the bar, from a nice chipped cross.

1 min West Ham kick off and soon get forward, finding Jarrod Bowen on the right. But his cross is blocked …

The colour scheme. Burnley are in claret and blue, naturally. West Ham are in their third strip, which is pale, swirly and makes each player look like a box of washing powder.

The players are out there and a lot of fists are being bumped.

Fun fact: both the England right-backs called Kyle Walker are playing today, but only one of them is at right-back – Kyle Walker-Peters of West Ham. Kyle Walker of Burnley, now 36, has turned into a centre-back. He’s also the captain, with Josh Cullen injured.

Not-so-fun fact: Burnley have won only one league game since last October. Among their many defeats since then, there have been two at the hands of West Ham.

Half-time in the Community Shield, and Arsenal are 2-0 up. In a turn-up for the books, the second goal wasn’t scored by a left-back.

It feels like a muted start to the season for Burnley and West Ham upon their return to the Championship. The Hammers fans had plenty to cheer about pre-match as they watched Burnley Cricket Club with a pint, celebrating boundaries and the fall of wickets. They will be hoping that continues inside Turf Moor having been made favourites to go back up after a summer of relative continuity; Nuno Espirito Santo and, arguably, more importantly Jarrod Bowen have stayed and will spearhead the push for promotion.

Burnley on the other hand, lost Scott Parker before last season ended and took an age to appoint Nicky Hayen, who arrived after pre-season had begun. The most talented of Burnley’s squad had left, while few have replaced them, meaning today will be very important for the team to show they are capable of competing with the best in this league.

The Community Shield, which can be rather sleepy, has got off to a spectacular start. After 24 seconds, Riccardo Calafiori ran onto a through ball from Myles Lewis-Skelly to score what sounds like a lovely goal. About a minute later, Rob Smyth wrote: “Has Enzo Maresca taken Man City as far as he can?”
