    Kylian Mbappe became the first France player to score a competitive hat-trick for the first time since 1985.

    And now they could make it two in the same game as Karim Benzema has netted twice in the second half.

    France are 5-0 up on Kazakhstan.

    Meanwhile, the Netherlands can start booking their tickets, 2-0 up in Montenegro with Memphis Depay scoring both goals.

    I think the most important thing now is a clean sheet rather than a fourth goal for this team. Don't concede and go fully focused into the Belgium game.

    That could easily have been four.

    Again Neco Williams is the creator, striding down the left and centring for fellow wingback Connor Roberts, but he does not connect properly and the ball rolls wide at the near post.

    Ampadu will miss the game against Belgium. You can see he knows it, he's cursing himself. He looks absolutely crestfallen.

    Would you believe it, Ethan Ampadu is booked within seconds of our little reminder.

    He misses Belgium.

    Just to remind you, there are a number of Wales players who are a booking away from missing Belgium through suspension.

    Ethan Ampadu, Joe Allen, Harry Wilson and Aaron Ramsey are the ones who are currently on the pitch.

    I'd give it another 10 minutes and maybe give Allen a rest and get Morrell on and see Sorba Thomas too.

    Neco Williams flashes in an inviting centre but Brennan Johnson cannot quite connect.

    Williams has had a good night.

    Oohhh, wow, pick that one out.

    Belgium are on their way to the World Cup next year and in some style.

    Atletico Madrid winger Yannick Carrasco has just smashed an unstoppable drive from 25 yards into the top corner.

    Wales lose the ball cheaply and for a moment Vitali Lisakovich thinks he is through on goal, but the offside flag eventually goes up.

    Do you think Gareth is gutted he came off now? He'd have probably taken the penalty.

    Bit rude if Aaron Ramsey scored a hat-trick to upstage Gareth Bale on his big night.

    It was so important for Wales to get that third, the games not over but Wales can relax and pay in a rhythm that suits them down to the ground.

    GOAL - Wales 3-0 Belaruspublished at 50 mins

    Aaron Ramsey

    Wales extend their lead as Aaron Ramsey strokes home from the spot after waiting for the keeper to move.

    The penalty was awarded for handball after a bouncing ball hit Ruslan Yudenkov. Belarus had few complaints.

    Nobody was expecting Gareth Bale to play 90 minutes tonight, but it's something of a disappointment that his night has ended at half-time.

    He did not look entirely happy in that first period - it will be interesting to find out if he has come through unscathed with Belgium to come on Tuesday.

    There's been a few lapses here and there but it's been a bit of cockiness for me at times that have let Belarus in. We need to tighten up a little bit, you put it down to over-confidence.
