BELL: IT'LL IMPROVE!

CRAIG BELLAMY promised Wales would improve after his side had to “dig in” to beat Kazakhstan and top their World Cup qualifying group.

But Wales had to ride their luck 3,000 miles from home as Kazakhstan had numerous chances to equalise and twice struck Karl Darlow’s crossbar in the second half.

“It was hard work, we knew beforehand it would be,” Bellamy said.

“Kazakhstan's a very difficult place to come, it has been for international teams and also British clubs.
