What a chance! Bale powers onto a fabulous pass and is clean through on goal. He sets himself and pulls the trigger.... but it's over the bar. He's human after all.
35'
Impressive stuff from Wales so far tonight. Croatia will no doubt improve after the break but you can't argue with the scoreline as it stands.
34'
A lightning break down the left from Hal Robson-Kanu ends with a cut back for Bale who sees his low shot on the burst well parried by Pletikosa.
