    Converted try SCOTLAND 10-7 Wales

    Sarah Bonar

    Scotland finally find a way through the Welsh defence.

    Some lovely hands from Chloe Rollie releases wing Rhona Lloyd and she is halted just metres short of the try line.

    The hosts recycle and Sarah Bonar is on hand to drive over with a helping hand from teammate Lana Skeldon.

    Helen Nelson converts and Scotland lead by three.

  2. Scotland 3-7 Wales

    A "low degree of danger" says referee Kat Roche, and it's a penalty only for Scotland.

    Helen Nelson kicks the hosts into Wales' 22.

  3. Scotland 3-7 Wales

    The officials are having a look at a high tackle on Scotland hooker Lana Skeldon by visiting lock Alaw Pyrs.

    There's some head-on-head contact, but no real force involved.

  4. 'Outstanding work'

    That's great work from Keira Bevan to hustle back and make that tackle.

    Jaz Joyce with a great profile in the ruck over the ball, that's her second turnover in a couple of minutes, outstanding work.

  5. Scotland 3-7 Wales

    Fran McGhie shows all her pace and trickery to race over halfway, but Wales haul her down eventually and then secure their fourth turnover of the match.

    We're only 32 minutes in.

  6. Scotland 3-7 Wales

    Scotland continue to push forward after the disappointment of that disallowed try, but there's a knock on and Wales survive again.

    How long can they keep defending like this?

  7. 'Spot-on decision'

    Scotland 3-7 Wales

    Siwan Lillicrap
    Former Wales captain on BBC Two

    That's a spot-on decision. I missed it, but I think it's Evie Gallagher that takes the ball away, so she's offside.

  8. No try

    Scotland 3-7 Wales

    After a long deliberation, the maul was deemed to be illegal and the resulting try is disallowed.

    Rachel Malcolm pleads her case to referee Kat Roche, but it's no use.

  9. Try review

    Scotland 10-7 Wales

    The officials want to check how Scotland formed the maul that led to that try...

  10. converted try

    Converted try SCOTLAND 10-7 Wales

    Rachel Malcolm

    It's been coming.

    Scotland form a maul off the back of the lineout and rumble their way slowly but surely towards the line.

    Captain Rachel Malcolm peels off and buries her way over with help from her teammates.

    Helen Nelson converts from out wide.

  11. Scotland 3-7 Wales

    Yet another penalty goes Scotland's way and you wonder how long it will be before a yellow card is shown.

    Helen Nelson kicks to the corner once more...

  12. Scotland 3-7 Wales

    Caryl James
    Former Wales wing on BBC Radio Cymru

    Scotland have enjoyed a long period of possession there, playing with great skill, particularly the fly-half Nelson with a variety of lovely kicks.

    A little one over the top to find space and kicks to compete out on the flanks which is asking a lot of questions of Wales' defence.

  13. Scotland 3-7 Wales

    Scotland win another penalty after a high tackle on hooker Lana Skeldon and this time Helen Nelson kicks to the corner.

  14. 'Speed of play unbelievable'

    Scotland 3-7 Wales

    Heather Lockhart
    Former Scotland prop on BBC One

    The speed of play is absolutely unbelievable.

    Scotland were last in terms of ruck speed in the Six Nations, but they were top in the WXV, and they've obviously continued that today.

    They're getting the pressure on but Wales are defending really well - the right decision to take the points.

  15. Penalty SCOTLAND 3-7 Wales

    Helen Nelson

    Through it goes and Scotland are on the board.

  16. Scotland 0-7 Wales

    Scotland have had all the ball since Carys Phillips crossed for Wales early on, but the visitors have had the answers in defence so far.

    The home side force a breakdown penalty though and Nelen Nelson calls for her kicking tee.

  17. Scotland 0-7 Wales

    Fran McGhie is very involved whenever Scotland have possession, but she knocks on with open field in front of her.

    That's an opportunity missed.

  18. Scotland 0-7 Wales

    Scotland wing Fran McGhie collects a lovely dinked kick over the top from fly-half Helen Nelson and slaloms her way past a couple of defenders before being hauled down in the Welsh 22.

    Wales scramble back, strip possession and Lleucu George hammers a kick into the stands.

  19. Lynn-ball

    Scotland 0-7 Wales

    Ceri Coleman-Phillips
    BBC Sport Wales rugby reporter at The Hive Stadium

    We've seen everything Sean Lynn had promised for Wales in these opening stages: A solid set piece and getting the ball out wide to their athletes, with the likes of Lisa Neumann and Carys Cox already seeing plenty of ball.

  20. Scotland 0-7 Wales

    Scotland are after an immediate response and makes their way into Wales' 22 after a strong carry from Fran McGhie.

    However, visiting lock Abbie Fleming gets over the ball to win a penalty at the breakdown and Wales clear their lines.
