    Wales 0-0 Philippines

    A rare Philippines attack, but a shot from distance is blocked.

    They have defended really well so far and are frustrating Wales.

    Wales' passing has generally been so good tonight, but they really look short of ideas in the final third.

    Angharad James' corner hits the post!

    There is that wind Phil was talking about.

    Phil is from Wales by the way, even though his name is the first part of Wales' opponents' name tonight (not an observation you can do often).

    Wales have to learn from that Switzerland defeat, they have to make sure that they don't repeat the mistakes they made in the Swiss game and for me, they need to be more positive in their mindset approaching games now.

    Gemma Evans is moving a little uncomfortably, one to watch on her 49th cap.

    Wales will surely take no chances with any potential injuries.

    Wales look bright, Philippines look defensively resolute, both sides can be relatively happy so far.

    At least Wales are now creating chances, that is what is important because they would be disappointed themselves if they didn't take their chances.

    Philippines are working really hard and are very organised and when there is organisation it's hard to break a team down.

    Wales 0-0 Philippines

    Carrie Jones' run and shot is blocked and Ceri Holland then appeals forlornly for a penalty-that-never-was.

    Wales ramping up the pressure.

    The wind is showing no sign of easing and is blowing strongly in the same direction as the Philippines attack.

    If it continues that could benefit Wales in the second half.

    Tahnai Annis' corner is dangerous and Hali Long has a chance, but she does not make a good contact on the ball.

    A rare touch for Safia Middleton-Patel as she collects a back pass and passes the ball out.

    What a year for her. A professional contract at Manchester United and now a Wales debut.

    You love to see it.

    An excellent cross from Ceri Holland is cleared for a corner.

    Wales continue to push for the first goal.... but make an absolute mess of the corner.

    Wales try a ball over the top looking for Kayleigh Green, but Olivia McDaniel is out quickly to take possession.

    I expected more from Wales in that first 10 minutes, I thought they would have created more chances but to be fair to the Philippines, they've been very organised.

    That's a big save!

    Rachel Rowe reacts quickest to a loose ball and hammers a shot, but Olivia McDaniel produces a smart save to deny her.

    Ceri Holland tries to cross the ball, but she needed pitching wedge and she's smashed that with a fairway iron lash and it's out for a throw-in.

    Lily Woodham has always made a great impression and a great impact when she has come off the bench and I just like the balance that it brings with having a natural left-footer playing left back

    Olivia McDaniel in the Philippines goal has been untested so far.

    It has been a good start of their low block, possible penalty aside.

    Gemma Grainger is not the slightest bit impressed by the referee's decision to not award a penalty there.

    You look at the rankings, Wales rank 32nd in the world, the Philippines are 53rd, you would expect Wales to be dominating possession.

    Wales need to try and be positive and get on the ball, be on the front foot instead of sitting back.
