Women's World Cup qualifying: Kazakhstan 0-3 Wales - Fishlock seals comfortable win

1. Jessica Fishlock stretches Wales advantage
2. Forward Natasha Harding doubles lead on 100th Wales cap
3. Kayleigh Green breaks deadlock for Wales
4. Wales move back into second in Group I. Leaders France host third-place Slovenia later
5. Finishing second would be enough to secure a play-off berth for a place at the 2023 World Cup

Thanks and goodbye

That's it from us after a good afternoon for Wales in Kazakhstan.

Gemma Grainger's team are back in second place in Group I and will stay there unless Slovenia can pull off a shock in France tonight.

Whatever happens in that game, Wales know victories in their last two qualifiers, against Greece and Slovenia in September, would secure a play-off place.

We will be back to bring you all the action then.

There's no room for slip-ups but how exciting that Wales are only one camp away. Greece away will be tough, the conditions will be different but the Slovenia one is the big one, possibly the biggest game in Welsh women's football history.

It's great that Wales are getting into these positions and thriving off the expectation that's on them.

They're two big games [against Greece and Slovenia in September] but hopefully the girls can put in the performances.

'An incredible moment' - Harding

Wales centurion Natasha Harding:

“It was an emotional one. The girls have been brilliant with me. I could hardly sing the anthem. which is quite rare for me.

“To achieve 100 caps is an incredible moment for me.

“Of course I have got goals left [in my boots] – I reckon I have got three or four years in these bad boys.”

Tash was in the thick of it today. She plays with her heart on her sleeve and we saw all the emotions today, from tears to anger.

But she played brilliantly, her goal wasn't an easy finish but it sealed her 100th appearance really well.

Danny Gabbidon

The quick turnaround and the travelling is hard, and the pitch wasn't easy tonight so I think you could see that in the second half.

But it was a professional performance in the end. It would have been nice to see a couple more goals, but getting some subs on and seeing other players in the second half was good for Gemma Grainger.

Kayleigh Green would've been so disappointed to miss out on a game of that magnitude against France, but she justified her selection tonight.

She was a big miss on Friday, she offers something different in that centre-forward position and it allowed Wales to break the deadlock.

Coming into this camp they'll have just been focusing on getting six points from those two games.

I think Jess Fishlock will be happy to get on the scoresheet, she may not have contributed in goals and assists like we're used to seeing but she grew into the game and she is influential even when she doesn't score - but the celebration told just how much that meant to her.

It was a good performance especially after such a heavy game on Friday.

FULL-TIME - Kazakhstan 0-3 Wales

Wales get the job done as they cruise to a 3-0 victory.

Goals from Kayleigh Green, Natasha Harding and Jess Fishlock secure the three points and Wales go back to second in Group I.

The free-kick comes to nothing.

Former Wales striker on BBC Two Wales

That's a silly challenge. If it's on the line it should be a penalty but I think it's just outside.

Wales have a free-kick just outside the box after Lily Woodham is scythed down by Mariya Demidova.

There will be three minutes of added time.

Bibigul Nurusheva is booked for pulling Jess Fishlock's shirt and Aidana Kuztay comes off the bench.

This game is meandering towards its conclusion.

Another chance comes and goes as a deep corner reaches Sophie Ingle, but her shot is blocked.

SUBSTITUTION

Natasha Harding's 100th cap comes to an end as she is replaced by Elise Hughes.

A shame, really, that Harding's landmark did not come in front of a Welsh crowd.

Wales have missed some chances this afternoon.

It is not going to affect the result, but there is room for improvement in the final third.

Gemma Evans will be disappointed to miss that because it was quite a simple header and she didn't have to do much, but it's just gone straight to the keeper.

Wales come close once more, this time courtesy of a clever free-kick routine.

Eventually the cross goes to Gemma Evans, but she heads straight at the goalkeeper.

A big chance, that.

Ffion Morgan drills in an inviting cross but there are not enough Welsh bodies in the box.

A clearance then drops to Jess Fishlock but she cannot get the bouncing ball under control.

Nia Jones

Former Wales international on BBC Two Wales

Wales are going for a fourth and we've seen some positive changes from Gemma Grainger which is good.

We've got Carrie Jones and Ffion Morgan, full of pace and excitement, and you never know when the bench might be needed in the future so it's important for them to be utilised.

You can't just keep relying on the same core of players.
