        17. It has been a busy evening for Cymru’s defence.

        18. 68'

          Fishlock and Holland combine before the latter’s cross finds Green, whose header goes past the far post.

        19. 66'

          Goal. Schüller has her second of the game as she gets on the end of Dallmann’s cross and heads beyond Clark.

        26. Half-time verdict: Germany dominated possession (72% to 28%) throughout the first half and deservedly took the lead midway through when Schüller headed home. The hosts could have added to their lead as the Cymru defence endured a busy half with the Germans enjoying 15 shots. Cymru, meanwhile, managed just one shot but that was enough to find the equaliser. Three of Grainger’s most experienced players – Fishlock, Ingle and James – all combined before the latter’s brilliant flick on found Holland, who finished off a well worked move.

          Yellow card

        43. 9'

          Hegering’s header from a corner beats Clark but Green is on the line to clear the ball away for another corner.

        44. 5'

          An early chance for the hosts as Gwinn’s cross finds Freigang, who fires just wide of the target at the near post.

        45. 1'

          The ball is rolling and we’re under way in Sinsheim.

        46. The anthems are done.

        50. Waiting for kick off? Get the build up and hear the thoughts of Gemma Grainger, Sophie Ingle, Ffion Morgan and Hayley Ladd on RedWall+.

        51. Sophie Ingle will captain Cymru this evening.

        53. Gemma Grainger makes two changes to her starting line up from Cymru’s last outing against Denmark, with Kayleigh Green and Hannah Cain returning to the XI in place of Carrie Jones and the injured Rachel Rowe.

        64. Hayley Ladd, who earned her 85th cap in last month’s match against Denmark, was also up in front of the media.

          “I wouldn’t say we’re feeling any pressure [going into the two matches],” said Ladd. “If anything those losses are about stripping everything back and now we’re excited to build back up again. We want to be strong and resilient, especially in terms of our defensive side to get that identity back. We’re so strong in terms of our defensive foundations so it’s about adding those little bits in possession. When we come into camp it’s a positive environment so we’re really keen to get going again. We’ll be ready for the challenge and we’re excited for it.”

          Watch Hayley Ladd’s press conference now on RedWall+.

        65. Ffion Morgan faced the media on Tuesday and reflected on Cymru’s last outing against Denmark in October before discussing her ambitions to secure a place in the starting XI.

          “We have to take the learnings from our last game against Denmark,” said Morgan. “Football is so fast-moving that you can’t focus on the scoreline but there are positives we can take out of it. We’ve always been hard to beat and we’ve never been beaten like that, so a 5-1 loss was tough to take for us but we want to change that.

          “I’m glad that I can play by part by coming on in games and I want to put my name out there with every opportunity that I get. I want to put questions in Gemma’s head and I feel like I’m getting to a point where I can really compete for a starting shirt, so hopefully my time will come and if I get 90 or 10 minutes I’ll put my all into the performances.”

          Watch Ffion Morgan’s press conference now on RedWall+.

        69. Cymru have been hit with an injury on camp with Rachel Rowe being forced to withdraw from the double header due to an injury.

        71. Cymru touched down in Germany on Wednesday evening and will train at PreZero Arena in Sinsheim on Thursday ahead of Friday’s game.
