Goes without saying, but when you opt to go with just two central midfielders, you are not going to dominate possession.

Poland starting to dominate.

A good spell for them.

CLOSE!

Poland don't quite have that counter-attacking threat - their build-up is slow and that probably frustrates Robert Lewandowski a bit.

Wales' back three has looked slightly off it once or twice, though.

Robert Lewandowski is the third Polish player to go down holding their face when there is nothing in it.

Throwing themselves about like Cirque du Soleil.

Wales work a short corner, but it ends in the arms of Wojciech Szczesny.

There has been no goalmouth action but it has been a pretty end-to-end game.

Wales can play into central midfield or to Gareth Bale, but I think it's the width where they can find the most joy.

Wales are almost caught out by an unlucky bounce, but Neco Williams gets back to stop a potential shot on goal.

Lovely defending by Ben Cabango who gets his body in the away of Robert Lewandowski and then draws a foul.

Goes without saying, the Barca man provides the sternest of tests.

Brennan Johnson in that area that he loves - he just peels out to the right-hand side.

I think he can have a lot of joy doing that tonight.

Let's get the ball to him as much as possible.

You're just a bit Kieffer Moore, I thought they were chanting.

Like you might tell Daniel Craig he's just a bit Roger Moore.

Wales fans chanting at Robert Lewandowski that he's an inferior Kieffer Moore (worded a little differently).

When they did the same to Kevin De Bruyne here last November (Aaron Ramsey in that case), he scored. Hopefully Lewandowski doesn't take it so personally.

Dan James puts the corner straight out of play.

What was I saying about a lack of composure so far?

Brennan Johnson wins the first corner of the game.

It's the first time we have seen Dylan Levitt and Joe Morrell centrally, on their own.

That's going to be important tonight.

Nice passing by Wales, but the final ball is just too strong for even Dan James to reach.

I mean you must be able to trust the analysis I'm providing now, right?

That's uncanny.

It's been a helter-skelter start from both teams.

I don't think either team is showing that much calmness.

This game is being played at quite a pace, but both sides are lacking in composure at the moment.

The three centre-halves need to tighten up, liven up.

That's twice they have looked nervy - [asking] who is going for what?

Joe Rodon needs to take charge of those situations.
