Good evening and welcome to our live text coverage of tonight's World Cup Group A qualifier between Wales and Croatia at the Liberty Stadium.

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.

Chance for Croatia. Some sublime one-touch football tees up Milan Badelj who sees his shot take a nick off Sammir and whistle inches past the upright.

STAT ALERT: Croatia have caught their opponents offside just twice in World Cup 2014 qualifying, the lowest figure of all teams.

Free-kick to Croatia is worked short to Modric. The Real Madrid man lines up a shot that deflects off a boot and loops up into the air before dropping into the hands of Myhill. Good feet by the keeper to readjust.

Coleman will be delighted with what he has seen so far. The visitors have not been at it as of yet and Wales have looked slick in possession at times.

Another corner to Croatia ends with a high ball being pumped back under the crossbar. Myhill punches clear under extreme pressure and as the ball is fizzed back in the ref whistles for a free-kick. Respite for the hosts.

What have you made of this so far from Wales? Tweet me your views.

Another long ball into the channel for Bellamy but this time Pletikosa is out to deny the striker on the edge of the box.

STAT ALERT: Wales and Croatia have met three times before, and Wales are yet to pick up their first victory (D1 L2).

Darijo Srna gets in down the right and fizzes in a low cross that Collins hammers clear at the near post. More great defending.

And over in Montenegro, England are leading 1-0.

Lovren booked for that foul on Ledley for the penalty.

GOAL! BALE smashes home the penalty to give Wales a 1-0 lead! Five in his last six internationals now.

PENALTY! Joe Ledley brought crashing to the floor in the box by Dejan Lovren.

Collins hits one long over the top for Bellamy who almost gets in-behind. The Croatian defence caught napping there.

Modric clips a ball towards Mandzukic who heads on for Eduardo... great defending by Collins who guides back to Myhill under pressure.

Wales just about survive but it was hardly convincing defending.

Croatia pressing. Corner ball to the visitors.

STAT ALERT: Prior to that save, Myhill had conceded five more goals (nine) than he had made saves (four) in World Cup 2014 qualification.

WHAT A SAVE! Myhill produces a sensational stop from point-blank range to keep out Eduardo's free header inside the six yard box.

CHANCE for Croatia. A swift break involving Mandzukic and Eduardo ends with Sammir slicing a deflected shot wide of the near post.
