    Second change for Cyprus. Skipper Constantinos Charalambides is replaced by Nikos Englezou. Will Wales make another change?

    The 10,000 or so fans at Deepdale have had to wait over 70 minutes for it but finally England have made the breakthrough. 

    It's far from a classic though - Manchester United striker James Wilson taps in from close range after Duncan Watmore's run is smothered to put Gareth Southgate's side ahead. 

    Just under 20 minutes to play in Preston.

    Cyprus 0-0 Wales

    Belgium are still winning so Wales's lead at the top of Group B is down to one point as it stands. Plenty of time left in Brussels and Nicosia for that to change.

    "It's backs to the wall at the moment for Wales, they are having to grind this out."

    Got to admit, I'm not massively up on my Mediterranean vegetable knowledge. Do we believe this?

    Has the sting been taken out of the Cyprus attack? The hosts are struggling for ideas and Wales are seeing a lot more of the ball. Can they make it count?

    Cyprus 0-0 Wales

    Sam Vokes is on for the final 20-plus minutes for Hal Robson-Kanu who has run himself into the ground. Chris Coleman certainly has one eye on Sunday's game with Israel.

    "Have Cyprus got one eye on the Belgium game on Sunday? 

    "Nestor Mytidis has really ruffled the feather of the Wales defence. That is a really strange substitution for me, a really negative one. He's looked really strong tonight."

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 65 mins

    Cyprus 0-0 Wales

    First change of the game...and it's good news for Wales. Nestor Mytidis, who posed a threat before the break, is replaced by Georgios Kolokoudias.

    "This has been one of Gareth Bale's poorer nights for Wales in recent memory but it's all relative and that can all still change. Bale could fire Wales to the Euros yet." 

  12. Nine subs for Englandpublished at 21:09 British Summer Time 3 September 2015

    England U21 0-0 USA U23

    Still no breakthrough at Deepdale, where England's Under-21s are taking on the United States' Under-23 side. 

    Debutants Jordon Ibe and Dele Alli have both had decent chances, but here comes the changes as manager Gareth Southgate brings on all nine of his substitutes.

    Could Manchester United's James Wilson be the man to make the difference?

    It's not been Gareth Bale's night so far. He's been caught in possession more than once..and he's struggled to pose a threat.

    The home manager is pacing his technical area looking a little bit cheesed off his side are not ahead.

    Cyprus have been pretty relentless since the interval. They have rattled Wales but the visitors are trying to slow the game down.

    "What I am seeing from Gareth Bale tonight is a man desperate to qualify. He's taking too many touches. He desperately wants to win.   

    "But as long as Wales don't lose this game they are still in a very strong position. Cyprus are playing much better than I expected."

    A period of chaotic defending by Wales as Cyprus come again. Georgios Economides leaves his marker behind and sends a dipping effort narrowly over the Welsh bar.

    Imagine a European Championships without the Netherlands. Well, it is looking increasingly likely that could happen in 2016 as the Dutch are 1-0 down at home to Iceland, Gylfi Sigurdsson putting the visitors ahead.

    That means the Netherlands are third in Group A, three points behind second place Czech Republic, who are surprisingly 1-0 down to Kazakhstan.

    "Wales are looking for a first win in Cyprus since 1992, one Chris Coleman in the side that night, 1-0. They've had a couple of shockers since then."

    Both sides are refusing to settle for a point. Two fully committed and going for it. Cyprus are seeing plenty of the ball but cannot hurt their opponents.
