    That looked nasty for Daniel James, but thankfully he is fit enough to return to action.

    It's a big boost for Wales and presumably stops the need to build an extension in the Manchester United treatment room.

    Daniel James is almost on the ball immediately but Kieffer Moore misplaces his pass.

    Slightly surprised as Daniel James runs back onto the pitch, he's playing on. It had looked like his game was over.

    A standing ovation as Daniel James is up on his feet and walking off the pitch.

    We get a replay now and Domagoj Vida's knee appeared to hit him in the head as they went for a ball in midfield.

    We haven't seen a replay yet which is never a good sign. Daniel James is moving but only just. A stretcher is on.

    Wales fans boo as Domagoj Vida is booked for that foul.

    Two members of the medical staff quickly race onto the pitch as Wales' Daniel James goes down following a collision with two Croatia players.

    Ben Davies just completely lost his man there. It was a great save by Wayne Hennessey, he was at full-stretch.

    Wales 0-1 Croatia

    It's almost 2-0 to Croatia. Ivan Perisic sneaks in behind the Wales defence to get his head onto Bruno Petkovic's wonderful lofted pass, and only a fine Wayne Hennessey stop to turn it round the post keeps the scoreline at 1-0.

    Wow, Wales were just utterly ripped to pieces in Croatia's first real attack.

    Josip Brekalo was given far too much time and space and Bruno Petkovic's smart lay-off allowed Everton outcast Nikola Vlasic to fire in off the post.

    Wales must find a way to combat Croatia controlling possession

    Wales 0-1 Croatia

    Wales are straight on the hunt for an equaliser. Gareth Bale cuts inside from the right wing and has a shot saved by Dominik Livakovic.

    If you're Wales now, you've got to throw caution to the wind and go toe-to-toe with them.

    That's just come from nothing, it's our own fault for giving the ball away. We got stretched which meant our centre-back got pulled out of position.

    GOAL - Wales 0-1 Croatiapublished at 9 mins

    Nikola Vlasic

    Croatia lead through former Everton forward Nikola Vlasic.

    It's wonderful play by Josip Brekalo on the left wing as he skips past several challenges before finding Bruno Petkovic.

    Petkovic lays it off first time for Vlasic, who blasts his shot from just outside the box off the inside of the post and in.

    I have seen them given. If that's outside the box you probably get a free-kick.

    Kieffer Moore is just working a little bit too hard at the moment, there's nothing wrong with that, but at the moment he's pressing the midfield which is leaving the two centre-backs free.

  17. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 9 mins

    Wales 0-0 Croatia

    A huge penalty appeal for Wales. Well their fans mainly.

    Daniel James races onto a long ball forward and is barged behind the line by Dejan Lovren. It was physical but not a foul.

    First shot is Croatia's. A long ball is played into Bruno Petkovic, who lays it off for Josip Brekalo but the Bundesliga winger's first-time shot from 20 yards is miles wide.

    The transition is going to be important for Wales today. You've got to accept that Croatia are going to have a lot of the ball but it's how Wales get the ball into midfield and further forward that's going to be important.

    Wales 0-0 Croatia

    Croatia striker Bruno Petkovic was on the bench against Wales last time out. He has scored four goals in four caps since then - four in six overall.

    He tries to control a cross but Connor Roberts clears.
