    Northern Ireland 1-0 Slovenia

    Loads of players getting in on this one.

    Jamie Ward chases a long ball and collides with keeper Jan Oblak. The pair have a little shove and then a few more pile in.

    The referee opts to book Oblak and, oddly, Conor Washington.

    That would have been a second yellow for Ward had he received a flash of the ref's card.

    Ukraine 1-0 Wales

    Ukraine hold on though and strike a pre-Euros blow.

    Tidy performance from Chris Coleman's Wales though.

    Ukraine 1-0 Wales

    Wales really giving it a go in the closing stages.

    Jazz Richards hits a low one from the right and outside the area. Andriy Pyatov bundles it around the post. And Shaun MacDonald gets a head on to the corner, but it's straight at the keeper.

    We want to know about names inspired by footballers.

    John Watts: We named our cat 'Egil Ostencat' after Southampton striker Egil Ostenstadt. We ended up mostly shortening it to just 'Cat'.

    David Knowles: I named my cat Taibi after discovering she was useless at catching mice...

    Ukraine 1-0 Wales

    Iwan Roberts
    Former Wales striker on BBC Two Wales

    "Let's be honest you don't get anything for winning friendlies. These are warm up games for a massive month in June for us. You just want to see a good performance. 

    "You want to see players improving and getting a better understanding playing together. It's a chance for players who did not have a lot of playing time in the qualifiers to impress.

    "But Wales have not been outplayed in either game. We certainly don't deserve to go home empty handed from here."

  6. KICK-OFFpublished at 20:47 British Summer Time 28 March 2016

    Northern Ireland 1-0 Slovenia

    Slovenia get the second half going and Northern Ireland introduce Aaron Hughes into the game with Gareth McAuley going off. That's a 98th cap for Hughes, who is now playing in Australia for Melbourne City.

    Chance!

    Tom Bradshaw flicks the ball on and it flashes on to the head of Sam Vokes, possibly too quickly as he can only direct it wide.

    Two minutes remain.

    Simon, Cornwall: Had a cat called Sully, after ex Spurs keeper Neil Sullivan. May be able to fill the goalkeeper position. 

    Excellent, so that's pretty much a full squad of things (animals) named after footballers. Maybe we should go back to talking about the football?

    Ukraine 1-0 Wales

    Joe Allen has pulled the strings for the Welsh. Everything has gone through the Liverpool midfielder. 

    In fact, Chris Coleman's side have looked steady, without being blistering in the final third.

    Ukraine 1-0 Wales

    A moment of panic for Wales as Andriy Yarmolenko charges down a clearance and almost gets on to the loose ball.

    Anon, via text: I once had 14 pet lambs, they had names like Bryan Robson, Whiteside and even Old Trafford..

    That lamb has a great leap - must be Norman Whiteside

    Anon, via text: I called my cat Peter after Mr Bonetti, the first day we got him home I gently threw a ping pong ball at him, it slipped straight through his paws.   

    Justin in Chichester: My son named our cat Harry, after mr Rednapp, as he is a Pompey fan, so I found it very funny being a spurs fan when he jumped ship.

    HT - Northern Ireland 1-0 Slovenia

    Yeah. Conor Washington is playing only his second ever game in Northern Ireland.

    He'll be more than welcome to visit again me thinks.

    Northern Ireland 1-0 Slovenia

    Lyle Jackson
    BBC Sport NI at Windsor Park

    "QPR striker Conor Washington marks his first home game for Northern Ireland with his first goal in international football, just before half-time at Windsor Park. Jubilant scenes here, even though the result doesn't really matter that much.

    "Not so impressed, though, were the Slovenia bench who protested that 23-year-old Washington should have been penalised for a foul as he barged his way through. Fine finish, no doubt about that."

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 20:38 British Summer Time 28 March 2016

    Ukraine 1-0 Wales

    Another change for Wales with Emyr Huws going off and the magnificent beard of Joe Ledley coming on.

    Does Joe Ledley's beard have its own Twitter account?

    It should.

    Ukraine 1-0 Wales

    Former Wales defender Kit Symons on BBC Two Wales: "The second half has followed a similar pattern to the first. We have had decent possession, done well up to final third, but lacked a bit of quality to test the Ukraine keeper. 

    "But it is also similar to Thursday night against Northern Ireland. People thought it was a lost cause, but we created something out of nothing to get a draw. I'm not giving up yet..."

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:35 British Summer Time 28 March 2016

    Ukraine 1-0 Wales

    Jazz Richards is in the book for a late tackle. The TV caption uses his given name of Ashley Richards - very formal.

    Approaching the final 15 minutes in Kiev. Wales are still very much in this.

    Walsall's Tom Bradshaw is on for his international debut.

    Northern Ireland 1-0 Slovenia

    It's a first international goal for Conor Washington. I used to watch him play for St Ives Town (St Ives Town? Exactly).

    And it puts Michael O'Neill's side in front at the break.

    We want to know about names inspired by footballers.

    Marvidh: Won a goldfish during the 1982 World Cup and called him Rossi. Top scorer, World Cup winner.

    Dan Church: Ex was an Arsenal fan and I'm United so the sister cats were called Keano and Henry. Keano sadly "retired" a few months ago.

    Alamo: Another striker for the Moggy XI. I have a cat called Pablo named after Ipswich Town legend Pablo Counago.

    Paul Lewis: My brother named his hamster after Mikael Forssell, but then found out the hamster was female so it ended up being Mikaela.

    Everyone's welcome in this team, Paul.
