Wales have another corner late in this first half. It will be Lily Woodham to take from the left.
Wales 1-0 Croatia
For all their dominance Wales have managed just two shots on target so far.

Somebody put your foot through the ball!
There's chances to have a shot in the penalty area.
I think Wales are trying to be too clever, Elsie Hughes needs to put her foot through that chance.

This is where Wales need to elevate themselves when they're favourites, they need to have that killer instinct.
For all the dominance that Wales have had, they still need to hit another killer blow.
Wales 1-0 Croatia
Wales work the ball into the Croatian box twice in a minute.
First Elise Hughes is closed down by Doris Bacic before Angharad James takes a tumble appealing for a penalty.
Referee Zuzana Valentova of Slovakia waves away the Welsh appeals and Croatia clear.
Wales 1-0 Croatia
The only complaint Rhian Wilkinson will have at this stage is that Wales are not making the most of their possession.
Ahead of tonight's game Wilkinson spoke of "having possession with a purpose" which they certainly had in the opening 10 minutes.
Less so since that point.

I'd like to see Wales test the Croatian goalkeeper a bit more.
Wales 1-0 Croatia
Wales have had 81% possession so far this evening.
Croatia have hardly had a kick.
Wales 1-0 Croatia
More good work from Wales, as Angharad James picks out Jess Fishlock on the edge of the box.
Her first touch bobbles in the air, and the volley towards goal lacks to the power to trouble Doris Bacic.

When warming up, many of the Wales players had their surnames spelt in sign language on their shirts.
The shirts will be auctioned off for charity after tonight.
It was a very nice touch.
Wales 1-0 Croatia
The ball breaks kindly to Sophie Ingle on the edge of the area.
We know she can score from that distance, but on this occasion Kristiana Nevrkla closes her down and blocks the shot.
Wales 1-0 Croatia
Wales have a throw-in a couple yards from their own corner flag, but Croatia are not interested in boxing the hosts in, and instead allow them to play out from the back.
We've just crossed the half-hour mark, and Rhian Wilkinson will no doubt be pleased with what she's seen in her first game in charge so far.

Wales have had all the ball, they need to make sure they don't get sloppy.
It can be frustrating when you're not making as many chances as you should, but with patience those chances will come, I'm sure.
Wales 1-0 Croatia
Jess Fishlock is down on the ground after a clash of heads with Kristiana Nevrkla.
No malice in it, but Wales' goal scorer needs a moment to shake off the challenge.
Wales 1-0 Croatia
Lily Woodham's cross is in the direction of Jess Fishlock at the front post, but the flick on is blocked by two Croatian defenders and the visitors clear.

That's what you want to see from Rachel Rowe, she's driving at that Croatian defence time and time again.
Wales 1-0 Croatia
Everyone except Olivia Clark is in the Croatian half as the visitors continue to sit deeper and deeper.
Ana Jelencic fouls Rachel Rowe in a dangerous area for Wales to put in a cross, 25 yards or so from goal to the right of the box.

Helen Ward

I think for Wales it's important to keep the ball on the floor as much as possible, they have got the quality to do that.
With the wind swirling like it is, it's important to show that quality on the ball.
Wales 1-0 Croatia
Rachel Rowe puts a low driving cross into the box but there is no near-post run and Doris Bacic collects in the Croatian goal.
Wales 1-0 Croatia
Croatia are really struggling to get a foothold in this game, when they do win back the ball they give it away cheaply.
Ana Jelencic is the latest to be guilty of doing just that, failing to control a simple pass which runs out for a throw-in to Wales.
