Spine-tingling stuff as Men of Harlech rings round the ground. Terrific support for Wales.

Twenty minutes gone and Wales have enjoyed 65% possession. Not only are they dominating but they're also winning all the battles. 

The stat that counts, however, is still 0-0.

It's been helter-skelter 100mph stuff.

The fear is that Wales will eventually run out of steam but they are being driven forward by a boistrous home support.

Wales legends are out in force. Ian Rush is smiling and so he should be.

There has been wave after wave of Wales attacks. The only disappointment is they haven't scored.

The Netherlands began the day with a serious question mark around their chances of making it to Euro 2016. 

The Dutch are third in Group A, six points behind the Czech Republic and another two off group leaders Iceland.

Their game away to Turkey is effectively a play-off for third, and  it has not started well - Oguzhan Ozyakup has put the home side ahead already. 

Are we going to have a European Championship without all that orange?

Belting start by Wales.

Aaron Ramsey knows he should have scored but undeterred he is back snapping at the heels of Israel's under-pressure defenders.

The visitors just cannot get out of their half.

"What a first 10 minutes from Wales - they have been totally dominant. The only concern would be that you have to score when you're so much on top."

Almost.

Wales should be celebrating but instead groans ring out as Aaron Ramsey heads over from close range after Andy King's shot had been blocked by Ofir Martziano.

Great play by Jazz Richards down the right in the build-up to that move.

Make no mistake, Chris Coleman's men want the job done today.

They have set off like an express train. 

Lots of short, sharp passing.

Another  promising move ends with a careless pass by Neil Taylor. 

But still Wales come. 

This time Hal Robson-Kanu takes aim...and fires wide.

Wales full of purpose, desire and energy.

Carnival atmosphere inside the ground. No sign of any early nerves from the men in red.

Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey have seen plenty of the ball.

Israel can't get out of their own half.

Wales come flying out of the traps. Aaron Ramsey with a spectacular long-range effort followed moments later by a snap shot from inside the area by the Arsenal player.

This is just what Chris Coleman ordered.

Time for the talking to stop. Time for action. A Wales huddle and we're under way...

"I've only got one line for these Wales players: Go out there and do it for Gary Speed."

Wow. If that doesn't inspire Wales nothing will. Truly powerful. Hairs on the back of your neck and all that. Brilliant.

I'm not sure the Cardiff City Stadium has witnessed an atmosphere like this.

The place is bouncing. It's a sea of red. The pocket of Israel fans are being drowned out by a raucous home support.

Wales's 12th man has turned up...

Here come the teams...
