Wales break at speed and Ceri Holland picks out Rhiannon Roberts on the overlap, but her cross is pushed away by Shannon Turner.

Wales on top.

Things have died down a bit. If you look at the quality of our midfield we need to get them on the ball and create more chances because I think they can tear Northern Ireland apart this evening.

Still 0-0, no clearcut chances yet, for those of you not here for weather updates.

The fact that Northern Ireland haven't played a match for a while is going to show and Wales have looked a lot sharper so far.

Must also be nice for our friends from Northern Ireland, as their ground, Seaview, is probably the coldest place I've been to watch football that isn't Stoke.

Lovely, bright evening here in the Welsh capital.

I've moaned about the weather every winter I've done this job, so it's only fair to offer some balance.

It's nice sunset weather and I'm enjoying it.

Hayley Ladd has looked as calm as ever so far. She always looks as if she has the situation under control.

Some risky play from Northern Ireland goalkeeper Shannon Turner almost sees Ceri Holland steal the ball off her, but the goalkeeper just gets away with it.

Risky.

Wales think they are through as Jess Fishlock finds space in the penalty area, but she's denied by a precise tackle by Sarah McFadden.

She steamed in and had to win the ball... and did.

Wales are looking settled at the moment and look good going forward.

Some good early pressure from Wales sees them on the front-foot, but they have been lacking composure in the final third.

A familiar story.

This will be a really tough test for Wales this evening but exactly what they need.

I'm so pleased to see Hannah Cain starting a game after her injury, I'm really hoping to see her play down the middle as that's where I think she's strongest.

Well, it's pretty clear neither side are playing with a recognised striker this evening.

One final team talk ahead of Northern Ireland's new beginnings.

English referee Stacey Pearson gets us under way here at the Cardiff City Stadium.

Anthems done, we are moments away from kick-off.

Women’s football in Wales is “unrecognisable” in 2023, compared to two years ago, according to national team manager Gemma Grainger.

Wales are set to break the attendance record for a home international friendly tonight.

This is after Wrexham recently played in front of a record domestic crowd of over 9,000.

Grainger believes the country has made great strides in the two years that she has been in charge of the national side.

Any home nations games are going to be competitive, especially on the back of the two previous draws between these two sides.

It will definitely be fresh for Wales and they will want to put Northern Ireland to bed.
