    Earlier today, England Under-21s beat Croatia in their Euro 2015 qualifier first leg. West Brom striker Saido Berahino scored one and made the other, and U21s manager Gareth Southgate said the senior side's manager Roy Hodgson was chatting to the young striker in the dressing room after the game.

    Also referring to Spurs striker Harry Kane, Southgate added: "It is a really good moment for both of them. When you select the team you look at players in form and who can exploit that moment.

    "Both of them are a real threat. They get chances and you expect them to finish. That is the level we are at."

    Have you read this feature about Wrexham's 150th birthday yet? If not, why? It's got a picture of Mickey Thomas with long hair in it. Halcyon days.

    So what's next for Chris Coleman's Welsh wonders? A home game against Cyprus, that's what. Three points in that one and Gareth and the boys will really begin to believe.

    Wales manager Chris Coleman, speaking to Sky Sports: "The performance pleased me more than the point. The crowd were incredible, the atmosphere reminded me of when I was a player and we took on teams at Cardiff Arms Park. We rode our luck a little, but so did they. The players were magnificent, I was so proud of them. Lads were throwing their heads in front of shots and we need to have that mentality.

    "Ashley Williams is one of the best defenders I've seen in Welsh football. Maybe when he attacks corners at the other end, he looks like he's defending them. But he came off that pitch and he had no more to give. It was a magnificent performance."

    Wales captain Ashley Williams, speaking to Sky Sports: "It is a good point, it would have been nice to get all three but I think we have shown how much we have grown tonight. It was a battle.

    "I should have scored. We had a few chances, I had two and I am kicking myself about it.

    "If we can get seven points from our first three games, that would be a nice return."

    However, Bosnia-Hercegovina did have their moments and Wayne Hennessey made a number of top saves. Is the Wales number one under-rated? He never fails to impress me.

  14. Postpublished at 21:40 British Summer Time 10 October 2014

    All told, that was a seriously impressive performance from Wales. Gareth Bale nearly nicked all three points with a world-class effort at the end, while Ashley Williams and Hal Robson-Kanu missed gilt-edged chances.

    Indeed it is all over, but what a rousing second-half performance from Wales. They really should have beaten the visitors, who are ranked 25th in the world.

  16. GREAT SAVE!published at 21:36 British Summer Time 10 October 2014

    Gareth Bale picks up the ball in his own half. He's surrounded by five Bosnia players, then tries his luck from 25 yards with an angled, swerving shot which Asmir Begovic tips round the post. World-class from both men. The corner comes in and Hal Robson-Kanu heads wide from four yards out. The game's up now. Or is it?

  17. INJURY TIMEpublished at 21:33 British Summer Time 10 October 2014

    Four minutes of time added on. Wales need a hero.

  18. CLOSE!published at 21:31 British Summer Time 10 October 2014

    Hal Robson-Kanu from range... deflected over. The corner comes to nothing but Wales are still on the attack and Ashley Williams has an Incredible Hulk-style ripped shirt. We're building towards a crescendo.

  19. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 21:29 British Summer Time 10 October 2014

    Gareth Bale is bundled over in the penalty area. Is it? No... Play on.

    Correct decision by the referee after looking at the replays.

    Some more chat on players who are head and shoulders above their team-mates.

    David: Can't not mention Aubameyang and Gabon.

    Dale, Heanor: Aldo Simoncini for San Marino, what a game he had last night!

    James, mid-Wales: How about some classics from the 90's, Romania's Hagi, Stoichkov of Bulgaria and Litmanen playing for Finland.

    Dan, Hitchin: Re: Louise: Weah or Best not the greatest George to carry their international team - surely it has to be Georgi Kinkladze who represented Georgia!

    Dan, you are ignoring the claims of Mikhail Kavelashvili, Murtaz Shelia and Kakhaber Tskhadadze?
