DAN JAMES saved Wales from a costly defeat after keeper Danny Ward made a horrendous blunder.

Ward astonishingly miscontrolled Aaron Ramsey's second-half backpass as the shot-stopper conceded a crazy own goal.

It put the hosts 2-1 up after Ramsey's first-half opener was cancelled out by Jakub Pesek.

But James came to the rescue 21 minutes from time with a fine goal to the delight of 1,400 away fans - and Ward's huge relief.

The draw keeps alive Wales' hopes of overhauling the Czechs for second place in Group E and a play-off shot at next year's World Cup.
