Sam Vokes
Wales and Wycombe striker on BBC Radio 5 LiveBitterly unlucky with that deflection. Wayne Hennessey had moved for the initial shot. There's nothing Ben Davies can do for it. It's made a nervy next 25 minutes.

Nathan Blake
Former Wales striker on BBC Radio WalesWe spoke about Sabitzer before the game, he's a talented man who's got a goal in him.
It was always going to be a tight affair, they were never going to give it up easy. It's a lucky goal but they're back in the game.

Wales 2-1 Austria
Another huge chance for Wales, but Dan James' shot is well saved by Heinz Lindner after Aaron Ramsey found him with a lovely pass.
Wales should get chances on the break now.

There was less than a minute between Gareth Bale missing a chance easier than both the goals he scored and Marcel Sabitzer's deflected shot.
It's obviously a totally different game now.

Wales 2-1 Austria
Cruel for Wales.
Marcel Sabitzer's shot is going nowhere, but it flies off Ben Davies and wrong-foots Wayne Hennessey.

Wales 2-0 Austria
That could have been it!
A long ball over the top finds Gareth Bale who might not have his old turn of pace, but he still races clear, but his shot is over the bar, as he was leaning back.

Wales 2-0 Austria
Harry Wilson gave away the freekick and was booked. It was not a good challenge.
He will need to be careful.

David Alaba hits the wall with the freekick.
So, so poor, under the circumstances.

Sasa Kalajdzic replaces Stefan Laimer.
Freekick for Austria and it is in a dangerous position.

Dan James races clear and should score, but Heinz Lindner bravely blocks.
He was offside anyway, narrowly.

Sam Ricketts
Former Wales defender on BBC Radio 5 LiveWhat a first touch and an even better second touch. That man is dangerous in the box. I’m a little disappointed it was two yards from the top corner.

Nathan Blake
Former Wales striker on BBC Radio WalesHe's done it again, a great finish out of nothing. The ball is swung into the near post and drops nicely to Bale who spins on it and puts it in the far corner. Brilliant.

Wales and Wycombe striker on BBC Radio 5 LiveWhat a finish. Another great finish from Gareth Bale. Questions were asked during the week but he’s turned up again
GOAL - Wales 2-0 Austriapublished at 51 mins
Gareth Bale
Oh my word!
Gareth Bale is unstoppable!
Wales work a short corner as Dan James crosses and Ben Davies touches the ball into the path of Bale who hammers a shot across goal and into the corner of the net.
This has been an incredible performance from Wales' greatest.

Wales break quickly and Daniel James gets clear, but his touch takes him too wide and the danger is gone. But Wales have a corner.

Wales 1-0 Austria
Encouraging start to the second half for Austria.
They are the ones pressing high and forcing mistakes now.
Neco Williams concedes possession and it appears dangerous, but Joe Allen cuts out a cross.
But Austria are looking dangerous.
