Highlights

Full-time: France step up their preparations for Euro 2020 with this comfortable 3-0 victory over Wales. Goals from Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembele.

90'

Just the two minutes to be added on here in Nice. It could have been a whole lot worse for Wales tonight but they have rolled their sleeves up and reduced France to three goals and a handful of half chances despite playing with just 10 men for over an hour.

88'

It's not for want of trying in Benzema's case as he shoots over this time.

86'

Save on Benzema! It's not going to be the 33-year-old's night, is it? He gets up well to connect with a powerful header but Ward, who hasn't deserved to concede three tonight, is equal to it once more.

85'

France sub: Ben Yedder comes on for Griezmann.

84'

Wales sub: Morall is replaced by 19-year-old Rubin Colwill, who makes his debut.

80'

GOAL! France 3-0 Wales (Dembele): That'll do it! Moments after coming on, Dembele is on the scoresheet. Benzema swivels and hits the post and it falls kindly for Dembele who is left with a simple finish.

77'

Brooks wins the argument to take the free-kick but he'll wish he hadn't as his dink is easily blocked by the France wall.

76'

Free-kick to Wales! The excellent Ramsey receives the ball from Moore before winning a free-kick on the edge of the box after a foul from Varane.

75'

Wales sub: The impressive James is replaced by Brooks for the final 15 minutes.

73'

A tame effort from Morrell as he shoots over from distance.

72'

Benzema is desperate to get on the scoresheet and he doesn't need to be asked twice to shoot after picking up space on the edge of the penalty area, this time his effort is deflected behind for a corner.

70'

Another save from Ward! Mbappe surges down the left and tries to squeeze it past Ward at his near post but the Wales goalkeeper keeps it out.

67'

France sub: Sissoko comes on for Tolisso.

66'

Chance for Wales! A moment of genius from Ramsey, who receives the ball in a pocket of space, looks up and threads a lovely ball into the feet of James. He strikes it well but Lloris is equal to it and makes the save. The loose ball is scrambled around the penalty area but France eventually clear.

64'

France sub: Coman comes on for Pogba, who has had another good game for his country.

63'

Wales are having to absorb a lot of pressure. It looked like the floodgates might open at the start of the second-half but they've done well to contain France.

61'

Wales have gone to a back four.

60'

Subs! Four changes in total as Bale, Allen, Mepham and Wilson are replaced by Ramsey, Moore, Davies and Levitt.

58'

France are purring at the moment, as Benzema exchanges a one-two with Tolisso but Roberts is there this time to get in the way. Wales are preparing a number of changes now.
