75'
ZALEWSKI FOULS WILSON
Free-kick Wales from out on the right...
74'
WALES NEED TO DO BETTER
Isolating Bednarek, who doesn't want anyone quick running at him. And as I type, only a poor touch prev ents James from doing just that.
74'
THERE'S A PAUSE IN THE ACTION
The sides appear to be gathering for an effort.
72'

ROBERTS GOES FOR A BOUNCING BALL WITH HIS HEED
And Zalewski does likewise with his studs. He's booked.

CHANGE FOR WALES
And it's like-for-like, James replacing Johnson - who hasn't played well tonight, but who I'd assumed would be be left on given he's the most likely to make something happen.
68'

MEPHAM PLAYS A NICE FIRST-TIME PASS TO JOHNSON
Which gets an attack going. But when Williams serves in a cross, he asks too much from Moore, who can only head into the ground, allowing Szczesny to grab.
67'
DANIEL JAMES WILL SOON BE WITH US
I'd not fancy chasing him about with tired legs.
65'

THE CORNER GOES SHORT
And Zielinski swings in a brute, Piotrowski missing ... and Kiwior, seeing it late, shinning it over the bar! I'm not sure he could've done much better given the speed of the ball and man between it and him, but equally, he couldn't have done much worse.
64'
FRANKOWSKI CURLS IN ANOTHER LUSCIOUS BALL
And Rodon takes nae chances, headig behind.
63'
WHICH MANAGER WILL GO FIRST?
I can't believe either would settle for penalties at this point, and increasingly, it looks like to win it, someone needs to do something different.
60'
WILLIAMS IS LATE ON ZIELINKSI
So now Poland try the free-kick down the oblique side of the wall. But Zalewski goes early and the flag goes up.
59'
SZCZESNY RACES OUT OF HIS GOAL TO CLEAR AND IS CAUGHT BY WILSON
But while he lies prostrate, Wales can't get a shot away. He'll be fine.

ZIELINSKI, WHOSE DELIVERY HAS BEEN POOR TONIGHT
Finally finds a decent one and Lewandowski has escaped Davies! But on the stoop, he heads over, and that's Poland's best chance of the night - by far. Credit to the defender, though, who, after losing his man, got back at him well enough to up the pressure.
57'
BEDNAREK SLINGS OVER A DECENT CROSS
And Wales get it away, then Rodon blocks Zielinksi's header and Poland have a corner.
55'

SLIZ OFFLOADS
So James runs through him, introducing studs to ankle. He's booked.
54'
FOR WHAT FEELS LIKE THE FIRST TIME
Poland get Lewandowski on the ball inside the box ... but Rodon is there to intercede. I hate to say it because he's been so good, but the elderly marksman looks to have seen better days.
53'
THERE'S BEEN A DEVELOPMENT IN WROCLAW!
Viktor Tsyganov has equalised for Ukraine against Iceland!
52'
WALES HAVE STARTED THE SECOND HALF THE BETTER
They're looking to play a little quicker, I think.
51'
FREE-KICK PUMPED INTO THE BOX
And Zielinski hoofs clear.
50'

IT'S BEEN COMING
Piotrowski gives it away and Moore does his best to burst clear from one of few men on the field slower than he; Piortwoski kicks him over and is booked.

WILLIAMS GOES FLAT AND MOORE IS UP!
He makes great contact too, sending the ball back whence it came ... only for Szczesvy to hurl himself left and claw away a looper from under the bar! That's a terrific save.
