Wales - Georgia live updates

Mchedidze caught offside as Georgia search for an equaliser. They haven't threatened yet.

Bale sets his sights on goal and goes low but it’s not hit with enough venom to trouble Loria.

Bale again breezing past players at will and he’s dragged down to win Wales a dangerous free kick.

More fabulous skill from Bale but his cross is cut out with three men waiting in the box.

Gareth Bale has scored 25 goals for Wales, three behind Ian Rush's record mark.

A nerve settler for Wales then, who have fully deserved that goal after a bright opening. Just what the doctor ordered.

GOAL WALES! And who else but that man Gareth Bale with his 25th for his country, leaping to head home Ledley’s corner. Great start!

Ledley floats in a dangerous ball and now Edwards is close to giving Wales the lead before his header is scrambled clear.

Another really dangerous cross whipped in by King and bale inches away from putting Wales ahead.

No sign of Georgia sitting back and soaking up pressure. Looking to go forward at every opportunity.

Almost a magnificent ball from Davies but just too much on it for Bale.

A positive start for Wales and Loria needs to pluck a cross out of the air from Taylor’s cross.

KICK-OFF! Referee Paolo Silvio Mazzoleni blows the whistle to get us underway here. Wales tied on four points with three other teams in Group D. Wales 3-5-2, Georgia 4-3-3.
