Wales' all-time record scorer on BBC Radio Wales

I’m not unhappy, the first few minutes it was ropey and Wales struggled to get their foot on the ball, but they have grown into it.

Oh no.

Huge, huge miss from Wales.

Dan James and Kieffer Moore go clear, it's a two on one and James slips it to Moore, but his shot is saved.

They just took too long, it was ponderous.

Had to be a goal.

Czech Republic build-up to a crossing opportunity, but Joe Roden sees the ball safely out for a goal-kick.

Rob Page won't be unhappy with what he's seen so far.

Daniel James cuts inside and fires at goal, but the effort is miles off target.

It was, however, a very encouraging run.

I was thinking about Aaron Ramsey, just for the sake of clarity.

You can see it, can't you? We already know he looks good in black and white.

Remember when you could watch a game of football and not think about every big name player on the field 'I wonder if they will sign for Newcastle?'

Me neither!

I think it’s been a decent start from Wales.

They need to just get out and have that confidence, have a few attacks and get a free-kick or a corner.

Scenes in Hamburg as Rangers' Ianis Hagi has put Romania ahead against Germany.

He nutmegs Antonio Rudiger before poking the ball past Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

That came less than a minute after Germany had a penalty overturned by VAR.

Referee Deniz Aytekin seems intent on stamping his authority on proceedings.

I'm not saying he likes to be the centre of attention but this is the kind of content you'll find on his Instagram page.

A strong run by Ethan Ampadu into the box, but his penalty appeal is waved away by referee Deniz Aytekin.

Speaking of Mr Aytekin...

A first chance as Patrik Schick's fine footwork creates an opening for Jakub Pesek, but his shot across goal is saved by Danny Ward who gathers at the second attempt.

Neco Williams just popped up in an area that would have given Ben Davies a nosebleed, but the Czechs were able to clear.

A very even game so far.

He does catch him, but there is no intent in it. In this day and age you don’t get away with those I suppose.

Wales looking to get a foothold. The long ball to Kieffer Moore is at least an outlet to keep them up the pitch, but they will hope for more possession.

Dan James could also have been booked for kicking the ball away, but the referee believes his plea that he didn't hear the whistle for offside.

Perhaps he's seen that video of James getting a puppy and just believes he's very wholesome and would not lie.

Aaron Ramsey picks up a yellow card for jumping with his arms within 30 seconds. Not an ideal start.

The Wales players take a knee before kick-off (and are booed for doing so) after a group huddle and German referee Deniz Aytekin gets us under way in Prague.

A big, big night for Wales. They have to deliver or their path to the World Cup gets ever trickier.

Wales are in yellow, Czech Republic are in white, which makes you wonder why Wales can't just play in red, but there we are.

Aaron Ramsey hopes to put his injury "frustration" behind him when he returns for Wales as captain tonight.

The Juventus midfielder, 30, has not featured in this campaign and last played for Wales at Euro 2020.

With Gareth Bale out injured, Ramsey will captain the side in Prague and against Estonia in Tallinn on Monday.

"It means everything to me to play for Wales," said Ramsey.

"I am so proud to represent my country."

The players have made their way out at the Sinobo Stadium in Prague.

We are now hearing the Cymru national anthem.
