    Wales produce perhaps their best move of the second half as Carrie Jones does well to feed Rachel Rowe on the left.

    Her low cross is dangerous but Iceland scramble clear.

    The free-kick which follows comes to nothing as Rhiannon Roberts clears.

    That's good play from Iceland.

    They work the ball well in midfield before Gemma Evans trips Hildur Antonsdottir to end the attack.

    I'm not surprised to see Rachel Rowe coming on, Kayleigh Green has worked hard. Rowe is great with the ball at her feet running at players.

    Also Rowe can hit a ball from range as well.

    Wales are worried again defensively.

    First they survive a scramble in the box which Wales just about survive, then Amanda Andradottir's shot is gathered by Olivia Clark.

    There is no change to the Welsh system.

    Carrie Jones will play more centrally now with Rachel Rowe on the left.

    Iceland are very good in transition, the way this game is going suits them and their counter-attacking qualities.

    Rachel Rowe is now on for Kayleigh Green, who has put in her usual big shift.

    Rachel Rowe has been beckoned back to the Wales dugout - it looks like there could be a change imminently for Gemma Grainger's side.

    Rowe scored a wonder goal for Wales against Portugal back in April to draw Gemma Grainger's side level, can she do something similar today?

    Wales are just making some sloppy passes, giving away possession.

    They were pretty crisp in the first half, but giving away the ball in the central third is their own downfall at the moment.

    Wales need to show a bit more, at times it seems like they're holding back a bit, sometimes in that final third Wales rush the pass.

    Carrie Jones tries to find Jess Fishlock but the OL Reign player lets the ball run out of play as she is well offside.

    Wales need to get Fishlock on the ball more often, if they can.

    I don't know if it's a deliberate ploy that Kayleigh Green has ended up on the left, she played there against the United States.

    It means Carrie Jones and Jess Fishlock are taking higher positions.

    Wales need to be careful because if they go 2-0 down it's a very difficult position to come back from.

    Wales come forward again and work the ball well to Rhiannon Roberts, but this time her cross is too strong.

    The home side are suddenly well on top.

    A dangerous ball from the right flank is just about scrambled clear by Wales before Selma Sol Magnusdottir shoots wide of the target.

    Wales look vulnerable.

    Now Iceland come forward, but Sandra Jessen's cross from the left is cleared by Lily Woodham.

    Carrie Jones drives into a huge space in front of the Icelandic defence, but once again the final pass lets Wales down as the winger underhits her attempted ball to Ceri Holland.

    That's wasteful from Wales.

    The onus is on Wales to go out and try and get that equalising goal, whereas Iceland have theirs, they don't need to force it.

    They're quite happy with sitting in a block, it's a way they're used to playing, but Wales need to keep the pressure on and force mistakes.

    As in the first half, an Icelandic corner leads to a scare for Wales.

    Once again skipper Glodis Viggosdottir meets the delivery, but this time her effort is blocked.

    Iceland 1-0 Wales

    There are no alterations in personnel for Wales in this second half - and it does not look Gemma Grainger has tweaked her set-up either.

    But then Grainger is not a coach who is known for dramatic changes.
