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.

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

James Collins rises but it's only half-cleared to Andy King who can't get a shot away from 12 yards.

First corner to Wales.

STAT ALERT: In their 2-1 victory over Scotland last Friday, Wales scored in a game without Bale netting for the first time since September 2011 (2-1 v Montenegro).

Corluka's yellow means he will miss Croatia's next WCQ against Scotland in June.

Neat feet Eduardo in an advanced position but Myhill reads his turn into space and is out to smother the danger.

A poor effort from Bale. A short run up followed by a shot that fails to dip and trouble Stipe Pletikosa.

Bale lining this up...

Stunning run by Bale ends with Vedran Corluka bringing him to the floor 25 yards from goal.

A mistake by Modric feeds Bellamy who picks out the run of Jonathan Williams on the right. The Palace midfielder races at two defenders but is crowded out just as he attempted to get a shot away.

STAT ALERT: Croatia have won their last four internationals in all competitions and are unbeaten in six (W5 D1).

Wales looking to build from the back but Croatia are pressing high up the pitch and already Boaz Myhill has been chased down.

The good news for the home support is that Bale has, as expected, shrugged off a stomach virus to take his place in the starting XI.

KICK OFF! Wales get us underway.

Five minutes and counting. Can Wales reignite their World Cup campaign or will Croatia continue to push Belgium all the way at the top of Group A? It's all set up for an exciting match at the Liberty Stadium. Stay tuned and you won't miss a kick of the important action.

And just underway in Group A, Scotland are in Serbia hoping to bounce back following Friday's loss to Wales.
