    Wales 2-1 Slovakia

    This has been pulsating and it's finishing at 100mph. 

    Slovakia are desperate to get back into this but are leaving huge holes at the back. 

    Aaron Ramsey's shift is over. A standing ovation for the Arsenal man as he is replaced by Jazz Richards.

    Paul Thompson: Another substitute, another game-changer! What a cushion this would give Wales in the group. Are you watching England?

    It could be the Millennium Stadium. There's a raucous atmopshere among the Wales fans. The party has started early but there's another huge scare as Adam Nemec heads against Danny Ward's post.

    "Hal Robson-Kanu has mis-hit it but they all count. What a substitution by Chris Coleman.

    "We were just saying about if Wales could hold on for a draw but now it's a case of whether they can hold on for a win.

    "This Wales team have got character - fantastic."

    Hal Robson-Kanu

    Party time in Bordeaux.

    Wales are back in front with 10 minutes remaining as substitute Hal Robson-Kanu stabs the ball home from 10 yards after Aaron Ramsey's excellent pass.

    Robson-Kanu doesn't make clean contact but does enough to send Wales' travelling fans into dreamland.

  7. YELLOW CARDpublished at 79 mins

    Wales 1-1 Slovakia

    Wales have weathered a strong Slovakia storm since conceding. Robert Mak is shown a yellow card after a cynical challenge on Joe Allen. A hush descends around the ground as Wales win a free-kick 40-yards out. Gareth Bale grabs the ball. Surely not?

    "A great ball from Hal Robson-Kanu and he picks out Aaron Ramsey, who just goes up a little too early as he doesn't time his jump. He should be scoring that."

    End to end as we enter the final quarter of an hour.

    Another blast of 'Land of My Fathers' from the travelling Wales masses rings out around the Stade de Bordeaux as they urge their side forward.

  10. 'Credit to Slovakia'published at 18:33 British Summer Time 11 June 2016

    "Slovakia are in the ascendancy and a little spell of possession would do Wales the world of good.

    "Credit to Slovakia, they have come out in the second half and had a real go and Wales have not really got started."

  11. CLOSE!published at 74 mins

    Wales 1-1 Slovakia

    What a chance for Wales.

    A delicious cross by substitute Hal Robson-Kanu for Aaron Ramsey but the Arsenal man heads agonisingly over the bar from close range.

    Will Wales get another chance like that?

  12. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 72 mins

    Wales 1-1 Slovakia

    At last Hal Robson-Kanu can come on as Jonny Williams is the man to go off. Chris Coleman has also sent on Joe Ledley - who broke his leg on 7 May. It's a big moment for the midfielder. David Edwards is the man to make way.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 70 mins

    Wales 1-1 Slovakia

    Bizarre moment as Wales prepare to make a substitution. The fourth official holds up Aaron Ramsey's number to come off. It's a mistake and Hal Robson-Kanu is forced to wait to come on as play resumes.

    Watch the goal that turned this game on its head. All the momentum is with Slovakia.

    The tide has turned in Bordeaux.

    Where the Welsh sea of red were in raptures in the first half, it is the Slovakian supporters who have come to life in the second.

    Duda's equaliser seems to have rattled Wales on and off the pitch.

    Chris GL Lovell: Wales don't need to panic yet. How many times in qualifying did Bale pop up with late winners?! All Welsh fans need is belief.

    Rhys Evans: I can see Slovakia pushing on and winning this game. Wales don't have the mentality to get another goal.

    "It's a good goal from a Slovakia point of view but Wales will rue their defending.

    "Duda, the substitute, kept running. He was allowed to run an awful long way and the keeper had little chance."

  18. What if...published at 18:24 British Summer Time 11 June 2016

    Wales 1-1 Slovakia

    A few minutes before that equaliser, Gareth Bale went close to doubling Wales' advantage.

    Wales 1-1 Slovakia

    It's all Slovakia now. 

    They have rarely threatened but Danny Ward is forced to beat away a powerful low shot by Juraj Kucka.

    Time for Chris Coleman to make a change?

    GOAL - Wales 1-1 Slovakiapublished at 60 mins

    Ondrej Duda

    An inspired substitution by Jan Kozak as substitute Ondrej Duda, who has only been on the pitch a minute or so, tucks home from just inside the area with his first touch after Robert Mak had brushed off Aaron Ramsey to produce a telling pass.

    Testing times for Wales.
