1807: Martin Petrov races on to a return ball in the box but is shouldered off the ball by Sam Ricketts. 1806: Ther first few minutes have been played almost exclusively in the Welsh half. 1805: And they have conceded just one goal in their last five matches. No wonder they're on the rise in the world rankings. Having started the year at number 42 they are now 29th. Wales are at 74. 1804: Bulgaria have lost just one of the 10 matches they have played since a 0-0 friendly draw against Wales in August last year
1803: Greek referee Mechalis Germanakos checks his watch, gives a shrill blast of the whistle and Wales get the ball going. 1801: Cheeky little wink from Manchester City's Martin Petrov as he goes up for the toss of the coin. The skipper's looking super relaxed, and why not? Bulgaria should have this in the bag. Anything less will be a bit of a shock. 1758: A small pocket of visiting fans are making themselves heard during the national anthem. Can you have an austere anthem? If so the Bulgarian one is just that. It has the hint of an operatic dirge about it. 1757: It is a sweltering evening on the edge of the Black Sea. High humidity as well. Local time is coming up to 2000 and here come the two teams. 1755: TEAMS Bulgaria v Wales
Freddy Eastwood is given his Wales debut in attack with David Vaughan in a young side. Robert Earnshaw is on the bench, but expect a number of changes through the night. Bulgaria: Ivankov, Kishishev, Wagner, Tomasic, Angelov, Stiliyan Petrov, Tunchev, Telkiyski, Yovov, Chilikov, Martin Petrov. Subs: Petkov, Zanev, Iliev, Dimitrov, Popov, Genkov, Yankov.
Wales: Hennessey, Bale, Gabbidon, Morgan, Nyatanga, Ricketts, Crofts, Davies, Ledley, Vaughan, Eastwood. Subs: Coyne, Price, Collins, Gunter, Evans, Jones, Eardley, Nardiello, Earnshaw. 1752: Enough of the free advertsing for all that lot, hopefully you'll be staying right here where it's on with the football. Feel free to drop us a line via text on 81111 on football related matters, or get involved on 606.

1750: Last, but by no means least, you can watch England v Germany on Match of the Day from 1930 BST with Gary Lineker and co, and if you're in Northern Ireland you will have Northern Ireland v Liechtenstein for your delectation. 1749: BBC Radio 5live Sport are on air from 1900 BST on 909 & 693 MW with Mark Saggers at Wembley for the England game. 1747: As well as reading about the action here, you can listen to commentary on all those games on the BBC Sport website if you're in the UK. Good news for Welshmen is that you can listen to the Bulgaria match wherever you are in the world. 1745: There will also be updates from the Republic of Ireland's friendly in Denmark from 1900 BST, before Northern Ireland kick off against Liechtenstein at a Euro 2008 qualifier at 1945 BST and England and Germany and Scotland and South Africa get going in their friendlies at 2000 BST 1743: Wales are first out of the blocks for the Home Nations. Life after Ryan Giggs begins with a friendly against Bulgaria in Bourgas, which is where Leicester City's Radostin Kishishev was born. Said midfielder is playing tonight, along with fellow English-based duo the Petrovs - Aston Villa's Stilian and Manchester City's Martin. 1740: A busy evening of international football starts on the Black Sea coast in Bulgaria. We'll also be calling in on Aarhus, Belfast, Aberdeen and London before the night's out.
