Lovely approach play from Finland as Robin Lod again finds the perfect pass, but Danny Wards saves from Nicholas Hamalainen's fierce drive.
Wales looking a little shaky defensively.

Post update
Wales 2-1 Finland
Wales have been so dominant it is hard to sell that goal as a potential turning point in the match, but certainly Finland have reminded Wales they are still in this one and haven't accepted their fate.
GOAL - Wales 2-1 Finland
Teemu Pukki
Well, well, well.
Finland work the ball well through midfield and Robin Lod picks out Teemu Pukki with a lovely pass and Pukki's finish is perfect.
Wales are breached for the first time in the campaign.
SUBSTITUTION
Wales 2-0 Finland
Spurs fans will like this sight as well... Gareth Bale's done his job and he's off, Tom Lawrence enters the fray.
Finland also make a couple of changes with Nicholas Hamalainen and Pyry Soiri on for Robert Taylor and Daniel O’Shaugnessy
Post update
Wales 2-0 Finland
Gareth Bale shoots and the goalkeeper saves.
But Bale is dictating this game and demanding the ball like it's 2018.
We've not seen this Gareth Bale for a while and Spurs fans will be licking their lips.
Post update
Wales 2-0 Finland
Gareth Bale and Daniel James both look full of energy and confidence and the Finnish defenders would like them both to come off now please.
Post update
Wales 2-0 Finland
Finland break and try to exploit Wales' two central defenders, rather than three, but Teemu Pukki's effort is straight at Danny Ward.
At the other end, Lukas Hradecky cuts out Connor Roberts' cross.
This is the most open game Wales have played in the whole campaign.
Post update
Wales 2-0 Finland
Joe Morrell's shot is saved by Lukas Hradecky.
Wales are not settling for 2-0 and seem determined to make this game safe sooner rather than later.

Daniel James and the Giant Peach of a goal.

That, you would think, is that.
Wales signalled their intent with that half-time substitution - bringing on striker Kieffer Moore for defender James Lawrence - and they've essentially got the job done with that peach of a goal by Dan James.
Post update
Wales 2-0 Finland
Gareth Bale stings the hands of Lukas Hradecky. Wales are rampant, this could be a big win.
Post update
Wales 2-0 Finland
I waited and it paid off.
It is now EXACTLY 12 hours of competitive football since Wales last conceded a goal.
What a hit!

SUBSTITUTION
Wales 2-0 Finland
That start by Wales was so fast I didn't even have time to tell you Kieffer Moore is now on.
Wales have switched to a more attacking line-up, unsurprisingly given the control they have and he has replaced James Lawrence at the break.
GOAL - Wales 2-0 Finland
Daniel James
Well that's going to help Daniel James' confidence!
What a goal for James, he's given far too much time and space and hammers the ball home from distance.
You can see just what it means to him in his celebration.
KICK-OFF
Wales 1-0 Finland
We are back under way.
