    It's chalk and cheese compared to the first half. We are now seeing the best of our players.

    Wow.

    Gareth Bale finds a ridiculous cross that just didn't seem on at all and Kieffer Moore heads it at goal, but straight at Selmani.

    You wait 73 minutes for a shot on goal and then you don't even have to wait 73 seconds for another one.

    Ooof.

    Neco Williams hammers a shot from the edge of the area and Gentian Selmani makes a meal of it, but does save.

    Wales' first effort on goal.

    Looks like Robert Page doesn't agree with Nathan Blake.

    Gareth Bale's arrival is imminent.

    I don't think there is any need to risk Gareth Bale today, unless the player is saying he wants 20 minutes to keep his sharpness up.

    Harry Wilson tries a shot from range, but it's wide.

    Kieffer Moore is trying to impress. He is disappointed that he hasn't started either of the two games.

    Our criticism of him in the past has been that he works too hard in wide areas. Just work the 18-yard box.

    Everyone in this Wales side has benefitted from this change of shape.

    Aaron Ramsey is back in his natural position as a 10, Tyler Roberts and David Brooks look more threatening cutting in from their wide positions, while Joe Allen and Dylan Levitt look more at home as the sitting two in midfield.

    And just I say that, there's a raft of substitutions. The point stands, though - Wales look much better in a 4-2-3-1.

    Kieffer Moore is making a huge difference.

    Weird one.

    Rhys Norrington-Davies shoves Rey Manaj and the forward falls into and knocks down Albania's 75-year old manager Edoardo Reja.

    Bit unsavoury.

    Tyler Roberts' cross then almost leads to an own goal.

    Life in this game, suddenly.

    Levitt is showing us what he is about. That pass was about six inches off the ground, all the way to Neco Williams' feet.

    It was drilled at him.

    I think he is a better passer of the ball than any of the midfield players. It's his range of passing.

    It's the body language of the players - you can see they look better.

    There is a lot of purpose with what they are doing now.

    It's not just passing for passing's sake. Albania are struggling to get near them at the moment.

    Neco Williams has a pop for 25-yards, catches the ball nicely, but it is over the bar.

    Why not, eh.

    Straight away we look a lot more comfortable in midfield with Aaron Ramsey dropping in there.

    We know how important Joe Allen is to Aaron Ramsey when they play in midfield. He seems to pick the pockets up that he leaves, and vice versa.

    Better from Wales.

    Everyone suddenly looks a bit more familiar with their roles.

    Aaron Ramsey seems to be moving around okay. Phew.
