Wales waste no time pushing forward. Jess Fishlock collects a long ball before Rhiannon Roberts is released down the right.

Her cross eventually falls to the feet of Angharad James on the edge of the area and her shot is dragged just wide.

Good start for Wales.

Henrikke Nervik of Norway blows her whistle, both teams take the knee, and Eleni Markou of Greece gets the game under way.

Michael is not joking.

The rain and hail is coming down hard in Llanelli.

A number of the Greek players were shivering as they sang their national anthem.

The Welsh players however seem all too used to these condition.

Kick-off is second away.

Having just returned from some winter sun (yes I know, poor me) I can empathise with how the Greek players might be feeling tonight at a freezing cold Parc Y Scarlets.

The weather in Llanelli is horrendous, with amber weather warnings bringing torrential rain, some snow and strong winds.

The Mediterranean this is not.

Greece could not have picked a more Welsh wintery night to visit for a big game, that will surely play into Wales' hands?

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Turning our attentions back to the game this evening, and Wales manager Gemma Grainger says her side are "looking to be ruthless" against Greece.

Much like the men's team, finishing as runners-up would give Wales a play-off berth as they chase a first major finals appearance.

You can read Grainger's thoughts, and those of captain Sophie Ingle, in the match preview here.

Rain is coming in sideways and the there is no escaping it in the press box.

I'm now sat in the row behind, on a case a colleague uses to transport radio equipment. This laptop is in so much danger it could be a character in Game of Thrones.

You can just about see how soaking our desk is from the bad photo.

As Gemma Grainger's side focus on their World Cup qualification campaign tonight, the men's national team discovered their opponents for their 2022 World Cup play-offs.

Rob Page's team will host Austria in the semi-final in Cardiff on Thursday, 24 March 2022.

Should they win that match they will face either Scotland or Ukraine for a place at the World Cup on Tuesday, 29 March.

That final will be hosted by the winner of the Wales v Austria semi-final.

Wales men are hoping to reach a first World Cup since their solitary appearance in 1958.

Away from tonight's match it has been a difficult day for many, as today marks 10 years since Wales manager Gary Speed took his own life.

Speed left a sporting legacy which changed the course of Welsh football.

His death also had a further-reaching, deeper effect on how people view mental health and its impact.

BBC Sport Wales' Dafydd Pritchard has been speaking to some of those who knew Speed best to reflect on the last decade.

In her latest column for BBC Sport Wales, Wales and Manchester United midfielder Haley Ladd has been looking ahead to the two games in this international break.

Ladd said Wales are "approaching the game against Greece as we did against Estonia" - which resulted in a 4-0 win for Gemma Grainer's side.

However next week when Wales travel to France, Ladd admits they will have to "put their defensive capability to the test".

You can read the full column from Ladd here.

Wales manager Gemma Grainger and captain Sophie Ingle believe tonight's game against Greece is "not always as easy as people think".

Greece's only wins so far have come against winless Kazakhstan, while they have suffered heavy defeats against France and Slovenia in their other matches.

Greece head coach Georgios Kyriazis has made four changes from the 4-1 defeat against Slovenia last time out.

There's a change in goal as Anthi Papakonstantinou replaces Panagiota Chatzicharistou.

Full-backs Thenia Zerva and Vasiliki Giannaka are restored out wide.

And the final change sees Veatriki Sarri replace Despoina Chatzinikolaou, who drops out of the squad altogether.

Greece: Papakonstantinou, Giannaka, Palama, Sidira, Zerva, Moraitou, Kakambouki (c), Kongouli, Markou, Sarri, Spyridonidou

Substitutes: Gavriilidou, Chatzicharistou, Kapnisi, Georgantzi, Georgiou, Karapetsa, Pouliou, Kiamou, Dimitriou, Pitsiou, Kaldaridou

Good evening and welcome to Parc y Scarlets, as Wales look to keep their World Cup qualifying bid on track.

This evening's opponents, Greece, have won two and lost two of their opening four qualifying games - including a 10-0 defeat against group leaders France.

Gemma Grainger's Wales side have won three and drawn one match so far, and have only conceded once in the four games.

However they still trail group favourites France, who are ranked fifth in the world, ahead of next week's trip to Guingamp.

Let's take a look at the teams, starting with Wales.
