End of 2nd Half
FT
Full-time: Wales have recorded the point they required! It means they're guaranteed a home match in the play-off semi-final and will avoid Italy, Portugal, Russia and Scotland in the draw!
90'+5
Another heart-in-mouth moment for Wales as Boyata attacks the corner delivery but heads straight at Ward.
90'+4
Not far away! A nervy moment for Wales as Trossard unloads with a shot. It takes a deflection, could go anywhere, but loops over the top of Ward's bar. Belgium have a corner!
90'+2
Robert Page makes his first change in personnel of the match as Ramsey makes way for Brennan Johnson. The stand-in captain gets a great reception as he leaves the pitch.
90'
There will be SIX minutes of added time to play!
88'
Vanzeir curls a harmless effort miles off target. That's Belgium's first shot in some time.

Wales fans pay tribute to their hero Gary Speed in the 85th-minute to mark the fact he made 85 appearances for his country.

Great save! Williams carves in off the left flank before unloading with a shot that is heading for the far post. However, the fully stretched Casteels somehow manages to push it wide!

Another block! Perhaps Wales aren't settling for just a point! Meunier puts his side under pressure with a loose pass. Moore does well to get his shot away but again Boyata is there to make the block.
77'
Shot blocked! Wales move the ball quickly and cleverly to make space for a shot, James feeding Williams. His shot is charged down by Boyata.
76'
Saelemaekers goes into the book for a foul on Williams.

It feels like Wales know the score in Prague and are therefore afraid to commit too many players forward in search of a winner, so are happy to play for the point. That's a dangerous tactic, of course, but Belgium are showing little ambition themselves.
74'
The tempo has dropped off in this contest and it feels almost as if both sides are happy to take the point.
71'
Hazard is booked for a foul on the follow-through on Allen.
