A couple of Welsh players are sent spinning to the turf in the space of a minute. Ashley Williams is down after a clearance before Jonny Williams is caught late. Both grimace but look to be OK. 

Zlatan earns himself his first sight of goal with some superb movement to drop out of the box and collect the ball. He fancies the far corner of the Welsh net but pulls his shot a few yards wide.

Sweden's bright start has encouraged the home fans at the Friends Arena, and there are no prizes for guessing whose name they are chanting.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been relatively quiet by his flamboyant standards but a nutmeg earlier in the match has been enough to prompt a few roars of "Zlatan" from the yellow-clad masses.

Good pressure. But it does look like there's a bit of rustiness in these Wales players. If it had been me I would have arranged another friendly in the build-up to the Euros, for about a week ago.

Sweden gets themselves in a mess at the back, allowing Aaron Ramsey to nick the ball 30 yards from goal. He sets up Neil Taylor for a shot that a home defender does well to block. 

Jonny Williams is peeling off to the left, looking to pick up the long balls forward from the back. He is feeding off scraps at the moment, though. Could be a long afternoon for the Palace player. Sam Vokes has barely touched the ball yet.

There's plenty of space in behind for Wales - Sweden are playing a really high line. When Gareth Bale does come on he'll cause absolute havoc.

Sweden win another corner as Ben Davies glances the ball away from Zlatan Ibrahimovic with his head. It is another good delivery from Kim Kallstrom that Ashley Williams has to knee behind. The second corner is headed away but Sweden come again, forcing Williams to again mop up.

Wales' first real attack sees Jonny Williams produce a good run to collect a long ball forward down the left, but his cross afterwards is poor and drifts to the far side of the box before being cleared.

Great movement off the ball by Sweden and I tell you what Ashley Williams had to be so quick to get in with his block there. The hosts are looking sharp...

Great move by Sweden to set up Marcus Berg in the box but his effort at goal is blocked by the sliding Ashley Williams. Great defending.

Owen Jones: Bale; Bale, Bale, Bale, Bale; Bale, Bale, Bale, Bale, Ramsey; Bale. My starting 11. Eggs in one basket you say?  

Sweden come forward again and win the first corner. It is a decent delivery, met by the rising Mikael Lustig but headed over the bar. Wayne Hennessey was in no-man's land.

Interesting hair colour choice from Aaron Ramsey. Shades of Romania at World Cup 1998. The Welsh Hagi?

"Now that is a lively start! But Wales have to win their challenges - there were one or two where it looked like there was some holding back." 

Sweden charge straight at the Welsh defence. Zlatan Ibrahimovic finds Martin Olsson, who has the ball returned to him off a Welsh player before smashing a wild effort high and wide from a tight angle. A very early warning for Chris Coleman's side.

Here come the teams. Kick-off just around the corner, right after the anthems and someone gets that huge Sweden flag off the pitch.
