    Important 10 minutes for Wales. 

    Can we get in at 2-0 and then Chris can settle the players down?

    We don't want to concede now.

    Wales could have had four or five and that's no exaggeration.

    Every time the ball goes into the box or there is a break Wales look like scoring.

    At 2-0 Wales are comfortable, but if they can get another one before half-time that would put the game to bed, you'd think.

    Wales have had seven shots on target so far - more than anyone else in the first half of a Euro 2016 game.

    If Wales ended up not winning this game or qualifying, I don't think their fans will ever get over it.

    This game is something else, Gareth Bale picks out Aaron Ramsey, who drives in a shot from 25 yards which keeper Igor Akinfeev inexplicably parries wide with his arms. 

    Wales are so dominant, it's unbelievable.

  6. 'Scintillating stuff'published at 20:32 British Summer Time 20 June 2016

    Russia 0-2 Wales

    Gareth Bale, scintillating run and once again Russia cannot live with him.

    We've seen him score so many goals in La Liga - nine headed goals this season.

    Wales are good defensively, scintillating stuff on the counter attack.

    Russia 0-2 Wales

    It's almost 3-0 to Wales. This has been the most entertaining game I've seen at Euro 2016 so far.

    Gareth Bale hurdles a couple of tackles and plays in Sam Vokes, whose shot is saved by the legs of Igor Akinfeev.

    Moments later, Bale heads over but he was flagged offside anyway.

    Russia 0-2 Wales

    Neil Taylor's strike was the first competitive Welsh goal which Gareth Bale or Aaron Ramsey didn't score or assist since October 2014.

    Both players did have a hand in the goal, but it came off a Russian defender to Taylor.

    That is poor defending. 

    One long ball and I am not sure what Ashley Williams is doing.

    That is a magnificent save from Wayne Hennessey. 

    He certainly saved a goal there.

    Russia 0-2 Wales

    Moments after Sam Vokes has a header saved, Russia are almost back into the game. Their keeper hoofs a long ball up field, Ashley Williams can't deal with it and Artem Dzyuba's shot is very well saved by Wayne Hennessey.

    The corner comes in, which Hennessey fumbles, but Wales deal with it.

    A huge let-off after such a comfortable game up to now.

    Temitayo: Football made in Wales alone.....Wales in my blood... Wales 4 d trophy...come on boys.  

    Garry Smith: Neil Taylor. Rabbit in the headlights when through on goal. Got his bit of luck.

    Jack McLuckie: Currently shifting through the family tree to see if I have any Welsh lineage.

    Neil Taylor's last goal was for Wrexham against Grays Athletic in the Blue Square Premier back in 2010.

    No wonder he looked surprised to score.

    Russia 0-2 Wales

    Wales have scored at least twice as many first-half goals (four) as anyone else at Euro 2016.

    Fantastic pressing from the Wales team. 

    It was a bit fortuitous, a good save and then Neil Taylor blasts it into the net.

    Wales in dreamland - fantastic, fantastic start.

    It's nonsensical play from Russia. Why push up so high? Joe Allen has all the time in the world to pick any pass he wants.

    Wales are going into the last 16 unless they concede twice now. Even a draw would do unless Slovakia beat England (that's currently 0-0).

    I tell you what, the second time he hits a lovely strike. 

    This is absolutely fantastic. It has been so so professional.

    We couldn't have hoped for a better start. This is the best 20 minutes I have seen Wales play. 

    Russia look shell shocked.

    Neil Taylor

    Wales are in dreamland. The move is again started by Russia losing the ball and Aaron Ramsey picks out Gareth Bale, whose attempted pass is deflected straight to Neil Taylor.

    The wing-back's first shot is straight at keeper Igor Akinfeev but he gets a second bite of the cherry and fires home for his first international goal.

    I've got to say Russia are absolutely awful.

    Wales have scored more first-half goals than any other team at Euro 2016.
