Belgium are going through a mid-half crisis.

Toby Alderweireld and Kevin De Bruyne get their wires terribly crossed, allowing the ball run out tamely for a Wales goal-kick.

Their movement has slowed and they look stumped for attacking ideas.

Jazz Richards looks like he has found a pocket of space, bombing on from right-back, but unfortunately the crowd have spotted it before the man in possession - Gareth Bale.

The ball is nicked off Bale's toe as he belatedly gets his head up.

The Netherlands now lead 2-0 against Latvia and it's a second PSV player to score, this time Luciano Narsingh firing home from a Daley Blind through ball. They are going back into third spot surely now.

"I think Belgium's front two have been very, very poor. Eden Hazard has been so quiet but we must give credit to Wales. They have been so passionate, throwing bodies on the line. Magnificent."

Wales are drawing the sting from this Belgium side. They play a piece of keep ball so protracted that it almost looks like it is going to end with Gareth Bale sprinting with the ball towards his own corner flag.

Bale has had a little cool spray on his calf, the crowd are deep in harmony over a chorus of Land of our Fathers and Belgium look a little confused.

Wales defender Danny Gabbidon on BBC Radio Wales: "I think this is just about seeing it out now. We have tinkered with the shape a couple of times now. Hal Robson-Kanu has gone over to the right side now. I think Belgium will over-commit so it could just be about us getting that one chance."

The Netherlands lead Latvia 1-0 and Georginio Wijnaldum, with their 25th shot of the night, is the man to score. As things stand they are within three points of second-placed Iceland and overtake Turkey into third.

Wales have managed to get a toehold in this second half after Belgium's blitz start after the interval.

The hosts look more compact and they have prevented Belgium getting into positions from where they can aim crosses towards Christian Benteke and Romelu Lukaku.

"The mood among Wales fans here is oscillating wildly between delirious optimism and a nagging doubt that Belgium could spoil the party at any moment.

"Marc Wilmots' side are still controlling possession in the second half and, with Everton striker Romelu Lukaku brought on at half-time, the sheer volume of Belgians' attacking threats has the home supporters nervously looking at their watches."

Wales' supporters try to lift their side, cheering every block, challenge and hoof clear.

They also enjoy Toby Alderweireld's header over the top when he should have done better from a near-post corner.

In Group A, leaders Czech Republic go 1-0 up against second-placed Iceland through a fantastic Borek Dockal drive from the edge of the box. But before we can even tell you about that, Aron Gunnarsson has levelled.

The Dutch, who are fourth in the group, are still drawing 0-0 with Latvia despite winning 21-1 on shots - only four on target though.

In Group H, fourth-placed Bulgaria lead bottom side Malta 1-0 through Ivelin Popov's volley.

Belgium's Nicolas Lombaerts blatantly body-checks Gareth Bale as the Wales man lures him in and taps the ball into the open space behind.

Wales are slowly getting penned back.

Belgium are pumping crosses into the big front two of Christian Benteke and Romelu Lukaku and Chris Gunter is brave to block an Eden Hazard shot as the scraps fall to the edge of the box.

"Even though Eden Hazard got the cross in, I think that was a penalty. Nobody appealed from a Belgium point of view but he got beyond Ashley Williams, who stood on his right foot. I think that was a foul."

Eden Hazard bursting into the box, Ashley Williams struggling to stay with him.

The Wales captain sticks out a leg which impedes Hazard's progress, but to the Chelsea man's credit he is too focussed on trying to cut the ball back to a team-mate to go down.

The referee would not have been very popular but he could reasonably have called that for a spot-kick.

It feels like a long time since Andorra led Cyprus. They are now heading for defeat number 46 from 46 European Championship qualifiers as Nestoras Mitidis scores his hat-trick to put fourth-placed Cyprus 3-1 up.

For good measure Dossa Junior, who earlier scored an own goal to give the minnows the lead, has now missed a penalty.

Toby Alderweireld momentarily fancies himself as Carlos Alberto in 1970.

Trotting up from right-back, the ball is rolled into his path and he goes for pure power from a tricky angle.

That is more Basildon fourth team than Brazil though as he shanks the ball horribly wide off the outside of his foot.

Do they twist for a second goal or stick for a 1-0 win?

No sign of Wales battening down the hatches just yet. Jazz Richards' curling cross is headed just wide by Hal Robson-Kanu, who gets up well above his marker.

He has been very good tonight so far.

Dave Somerville: 1-0 up is great but I won't relax unless we go 2 goals ahead! Hard to believe Belgium are ranked so highly.

Jon Seller: Wales: phenomenal spirit sprinkled with genuine world class talent. Top of the home nations for me and great to watch.

Just like the first half, Belgium have come out of their corner swinging.

Kevin De Bruyne dents the advertising hoardings with a thumped shot from just inside the box. Wayne Hennessey was not getting there if it was inside his post.
