"Hal Robson-Kanu has got to be more positive there! On a surface like this you have to shoot, just get a strike on across the goalkeeper. Instead he looks for a team-mate and the chance is gone as Aaron Ramsey's touch lets him down."

What a waste. Hal Robson-Kanu wins possession and it is three against two in favour as the Wales man powers deep into Cyprus territory. He passes to Aaron Ramsey on the edge of the area but the Arsenal man can't control the ball and the chance is gone.

"A very nice move - it meant Antreas Makris had a free shot on goal. Georgios Economides and Marios Nikolau have done really well in midfield for Cyprus too, crowding out Gareth Bale. 

"But still Wales have to look for Bale more often. He may be struggling for space but he's still their biggest threat to score."

Wales switch off at a Cyprus free-kick near the corner flag and Antreas Makris is unmarked on the edge of the area with a clear scoring chance but can't keep his shot down. Warning for the men in red.

BBC Sport's Dafydd Pritchard in Nicosia: "Wales’ fans went from delight to fury in the space of a second when referee Szymon Marciniak disallowed a goal from David Edwards.

"The Wales midfielder headed into the bottom corner but his celebrations were quickly curtailed as Marciniak judged Hal Robson-Kanu to have pushed a Cypriot defender.

"It looked debatable at first glance - or plain wrong in the eyes of the vociferous Welsh fans, who are still venting their anger towards the Polish referee."

Gareth Bale sprints forward before a peach of a pass to Aaron Ramsey who...gives the ball straight to a blue shirt. Wales need to improve in the final third.

"It's going OK for Wales, you can't say that their keeper Wayne Hennessey has had too much to do."

Around 10 minutes to half-time. All going to plan for Wales. Chris Coleman's side have responded well after surviving a couple of early scares. Can they make the breakthough before the interval?

Tottenham's Dele Alli and Liverpool's Joe Gomez and Jordon Ibe were among the starters as Gareth Southgate’s England Under-21 side look to move on from the disappointment of their group-stage exit from the European Championships this summer.

New captain James Ward-Prowse delivered for Eric Dier to head over, while Fulham striker Cauley Woodrow has twice gone close for the home side.  

No breakthrough so far though, with half-time approaching.

Elsewhere in Group B, Belgium  have hit back quickly after that Bosnia-Herzegovina opener, meaning that game is 1-1. Marouane Fellaini grabbed the equaliser, firing in from a Kevin De Bruyne corner.

Meanwhile, Israel have also added to their advantage against Andorra and now lead 3-0. Could be a big win on the cards.

In Group A,  Netherlands, third in the standings, are at home to leaders Iceland but have been dealt a blow in their hopes of getting a much-needed win with defender Bruno Martins-Indi having just been sent off.

Wales will feel aggrieved by that disallowed goal. There were not many appeals from the Cyprus players when Dave Edwards headed home. The visitors have upped the tempo and are enjoying a good spell of possession. Wales fans are in good voice.

"What a challenge! Gareth Bale was away! He had the pace, he looked to be one-on-one with the goalkeeper but Kostas Lafis came in with a real last ditch tackle!"

All go now. Wales suddenly rampaging on the break, Gareth Bale closing down on goal, but the Real Madrid man is denied by a brilliant covering tackle from Kostas Laifis.

"That is so harsh. It's a fantastic delivery from Gareth Bale, Dave Edwards wins the header. I'm not being biased but that is a ridiculous decision. The referee's obviously given it for a slight nudge."

Wales have the ball in the back of the net. The thousands of travelling fans behind Antonis Giorgallides goal are celebrating as Dave Edwards rises above the defence to meet Gareth Bale's inswinging cross but it is ruled out for a push. It looks a harsh decision from here.

Hal Robson-Kanu is spoken to by the referee after man handling Dossa Junior in an act of frustration after the Cypriot defender shields the ball out for a goal kick.

It's all very stop-start from Wales. The referee has his work cut out with the foul count from both teams through the roof already.

Belgium have not lost a home qualifier in five years, but they are in a bit of trouble at the moment as Edin Dzeko heads  Bosnia-Herzegovina into a 1-0 lead.

Could be a big boost for Wales' qualification hopes. Belgium are currently third in Group B, with Israel second.

Uncomfortable times for Wales.

A sloppy pass by Gareth Bales sparks a Cyprus attack which leaves the visiting defence under pressure.

"I don't know how fit the Cypriots will be, but the heat will take a lot out of all players, not just the Welsh but the Cypriots as well."
