    "That was the first time Hal Robson-Kanu has had space to run in behind the defence, but the goalkeeper was on the front foot. He came diving out quickly to get both hands on the ball. No penalty. Fantastic goalkeeping."

    "You've basically got seven defensive players when Wales sit back - there's just Aaron Ramsey, Gareth Bale and Hal Robson-Kanu who are expressing themselves going forward."

    Cyprus 0-0 Wales

    It's approaching 23:00 in Cyprus and the heat is still stifling. But there's no let up in the energy levels of both teams. Gareth Bale delivers a fine ball into the the home area but it's well caught by the keeper.

    Bale is taking a real battering. He's just been sent sprawling - not for the first time. He gets up, dusts himself down and goes again.

    Another long range swerving shot. This time Marios Nikolaou lets fly and Wayne Hennessey can't hold it as it cannons off his body. Wales on the back foot.

    "Gareth Bale has been on the fringes but he's still looked dangerous. He nearly scored from a free-kick and started confidently but with the surface sometimes his touch has let him down. Wales have to keep getting the ball to him because I'm sure it will come good for him at some point though. 

    "Wales had a goal ruled out - wrongly in my opinion - but still Cyprus have looked very dangerous through Constantinos Makridis on the left."

  17. Elsewhere in Europe...published at 20:36

    An update that might be of interest to Manchester City fans here. Kevin De Bruyne has just bagged a belter for Belgium - a 25-yarder - and they lead 2-1 against Bosnia-Herzegovina. That means Belgium are back up to second in Group B, behind leaders Wales.

    In the other game in that group, Israel are 4-0 up against Andorra and out of sight.

    Meanwhile, it is not going great at all for the Netherlands. Soon after going down to 10 men, Dutch captain Arjen Robben has to go off injured. He is replaced by Luciano Narsingh.

    The only positive really for the Dutch is that it is still goalless with Iceland. 

    The only other score to bring you of note is that Kazakhstan are 1-0 up at Czech Republic.
