Wales striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

It's nice to see Nathan Broadhead get a run out, hopefully he can stay sharp and get some minutes under his belt for Tuesday.

Another great attacking option Wales have.

What a night it's going to be on Tuesday...

Jayne Ludlow

Former Wales manager on BBC Radio 5 Live

Job done, to go from this game with a three goal cushion, it will give Wales all the confidence they need going into Tuesday.

It's going to be a great spectacle.

We will have six minutes of added on time.

Poland will be visiting Cardiff on Tuesday, they are 5-1 winners over Estonia tonight.

Can Wales match the scoreline?

SUBSTITUTION

Harry Wilson is replaced by Nathan Broadhead.

Another performance of real influence from Harry Wilson.

He's really stepped up in this campaign.

Let the party begin.

Brilliant composure from Dan James, he deserved that for the pressure he put the defender under. As cool as you like.

Yma o Hyd is being belted out at the Cardiff City Stadium.

GOAL - Wales 4-1 Finland

Oh dear oh dear.

Finland implode, Wales are clear now.

It's horrific for Miro Tenho who dwells on the ball and has his pockets picked by Dan James who has the composure to go around Lukas Hradecky and fire home.

Wales have been clinical tonight.

In the big moments their big players have delivered.

Wales can't let the disallowed goal bother them, the way Wales have been playing in the second half I don't think they will.

Wales have been patient and great from set-pieces, if they keep it up they might get that fourth.

Dan James sees a shot saved after Ethan Ampadu's lovely pass sent him clear.

All Wales now, they are in total control.

Wales' midfield pairing of Jordan James and Ethan Ampadu have been excellent.

Ampadu is celebrating being Wales' youngest player to 50 caps in fine style.

Former Wales manager on BBC Radio 5 Live

Jordan James has been brilliant tonight, his first touch just takes him away from pressure.

Him and Ethan Ampadu have been so composed and so comfortable in possession.

The goal has been disallowed!

The graphic in the stadium flashed up offside, so I presume it was a player in the build-up?

Joe Rodon was blocking the goalkeeper.

Very hard to tell from in the stadium.

Probably won't matter.

Video Assistant Referee

We have a VAR check.

GOAL - Wales 4-1 Finland

Game over.

Wales' skipper heads them into the final, with his effort going in off the post and just over the line.

Sam Vokes

Wales striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

Dan James will be chomping at the bit in these last 10-15 minutes, his pace can really hurt Finland.

Wales need to use that and release him when they can.

SUBSTITUTIONS

A good level of control for Wales now.

Ethan Ampadu and Jordan James have a grip on things.

Finland replace their forwards, Teemu Pukki and Joel Pohjanpalo go off for Benjamin Kallman and Fredrik Jensen.

They need more Marvel characters at this point, however.

Dafydd Pritchard

BBC Sport Wales at Cardiff City Stadium

It's usually about now that a sense of anxiety grips the crowd at Cardiff City Stadium as Wales enter the latter stages of a big match.

But without wishing to jinx Rob Page and his players, there's a surprising lack of tension about this game at the moment.

Nathan Blake

Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales

Nice from Wales this, patient build up, keeping the ball and make this Finnish side work.

Very composed from Wales.

Harry Wilson's dangerous freekick is deflected over by Matti Peltola who cleared his own crossbar more through luck than judgement.
