Gareth Bale’s free-kicks are as bankable as penalties according to Jonny Williams – and Wales are ready to cash in again against Russia on Monday night. Bale has hit stunning back-to-back goals against Slovakia and England in his first two matches at Euro 2016.

Glamorgan’s Colin Ingram has enjoyed a near-perfect return to the fold since bouncing back from an early season knee injury and his performances with bat and ball have inspired some memorable wins in white-ball cricket.
