    Wales so close they can taste it.

    Again Ukraine break, again Wales look in massive trouble, again the ball ends safely in the hands of Wayne Hennessey.

    He's been sensational.

    Gareth Bale walks off to a standing ovation around the stadium.

    Has he done enough to fulfil his dream, Wales' dream as he encourages Harry Wilson to put in the effort?

    I have now written 'incredible block by Ben Davies' so I can just cut and paste for the rest of the game.

    Wales now with a freekick in shooting range, but it's deflected wide for a corner.

    Hennessey has just filled our goal there. I thought that was in. Absolutely superb.

    What a save from Wayne Hennessey!

    He makes an unbelievable stop to deny Artem Dovbyk with Ben Davies blocking the rebound.

    Harry Wilson, perhaps surprisingly left out, is on for Gareth Bale, who has given all he has.

    You don't see this Ukrainian team looking tired.

    They look like they've got legs with12 minutes to go, they're going right until the very end.

    Mykhailo Mudryk and Artem Dovbyk are both on.

    Ukraine sending everyone forward now.

    Ten to go.

    Wales 1-0 Ukraine

    Ukraine have had double the amount of chances Wales have, but the Wales defending has been inspired.

    Wayne Hennessey gathers easily from Serhiy Sydorchuk's speculative effort.

    Ben Davies must be one of the best players I have ever seen at blocking shots.

    He gets his body in the way week after week, be it for Tottenham or Wales. And that is him again there. He's made three now.

    It is as good as a striker scoring a hat-trick, they are that important.

    It was Ben Davies again, that boy.

    I can't speak highly enough of him, I've run out of words.
