    The ball was so quick in the tackle for that try.

    They didn't let Australia get back and reset the defence and that's how you open gaps up.

  2. Wales 7-19 Australia

    Ian Gough
    Former Wales international on BBC Radio Wales

    This is when Wales show their mettle, this is how they show what resolve they've got in that tank and what it means to them.

    Wales hit back through the number eight. At last!

    A knock-on by Australia gives Wales a scrum in centre field, from where Blair Murray attacks the left.

    Wales go through the phases and Ellis Bevan sends Aaron Wainwright over close to the posts.

    At last something for the home fans to cheer.

    Now you earn your keep Warren Gatland, because Wales are in dire straits at the Principality Stadium.

  5. Wales 0-19 Australia

    It's three tries from Australia and all from different areas.

    The first was pure skills, the second was opportunism and the third is a battering ram.

    Converted try: Wales 0-19 Australia

    Matt Faessler try, Noah Lolesio con

    They're in again, this time from the rolling maul.

    Three tries inside 22 minutes and this could be going pear shaped very quickly for Wales.

  7. Wales 0-12 Australia

    Wales fans, I hate to say this, but here come Australia again with a kick to the corner.

  8. Wales 0-12 Australia

    Elinor Snowsill
    Former Wales fly-half on BBC Radio Cymru

    This is the difference between Wales and other countries, offloading is such an important part of the game in attack, but we never expect the offload and keep making mistakes.

    We keep the ball for so many phases and then we lose it in the offload.

  9. Wales 0-12 Australia

    If morale was low, it may well be even lower now!

    Australia are in again... this time from halfway!

    Just when Wales were going through some phases, James Botham drops a pass and Australia punish them.

    Max Jordenen scoops up the ball, finds Noah Lolesio with a reverse pass and the big lock Nick Frost gallops half the pitch to score.

    It's already looking bad for Wales.

  11. Wales 0-5 Australia

    Wales have barely touched the ball in this opening 15 minutes.

    They have to find a way into this game or it's going to be another defeat.

  12. Wales 0-5 Australia

    Elinor Snowsill
    Former Wales fly-half on BBC Radio Cymru

    One small mistake by Blair Murray led to that try. He got pulled in by the dummy pass and it let the ball go out through the back.

    Once Wales' defence bunches Australia look very very dangerous.

  13. try

    Try: Wales 0-5 Australia

    Tom Wright try

    Well it was coming but it was a wonderful step by Tom Wright that beat Blair Murray and gave him a clear run to the line.

    Wales should have known all about the full-back who scored a sensational solo try from inside his own half in the second Test in July.

    He also scored first for Australia last week against England and has them off the mark again today.

    Conversion missed.

  14. Wales 0-0 Australia

    I agree Gareth... but here come Australia again.

    It's ominous.

  15. Wales 0-0 Australia

    Gareth Rhys Owen
    BBC Radio Wales commentator

    That was a remarkable tackle by Blair Murray and Tom Rogers.

    That would have been a scintillating Australian try, but somehow between them they have saved the day.

  16. Wales 0-0 Australia

    Emyr Lewis
    Former Wales flanker on BBC Radio Cymru

    Australia look very dangerous when they have possession.

    They're so comfortable on the ball, they offload really well and know what they have to do against Wales today.

    Wales need to be careful.

  17. Close!

    Wales 0-0 Australia

    Tom Wright and Max Jorgenson combine to create an overlap out wide with a couple of delicious flicked passes but Tom Rogers just just gets under Samu Kerevi to stop the centre touching down.

    Great tackle Rogers but the Welsh defence was torn apart then.

  18. Wales 0-0 Australia

    Christ Tshiunza is straight into the action with a lineout take but it's scrappy from Wales and Will Skelton wins another maul turnover.

    Wales need to find a way to stop that guy bossing the maul.

  19. Replacement: Wales

    Wales 0-0 Australia

    Yep, Adam Beard's day is already done after just seven minutes and for the second week in a row, Wales are forced into an early change.

    Christ Tshiunza is on for his 14th cap.

  20. Wales 0-0 Australia

    James Botham comes up with a big steal and then drives the ball on for another six or seven metres.

    That's exactly why Warren Gatland brought the Cardiff flanker in today.

    The Wales coaching team really rate that fella.
