Wales vs Italy LIVE: Latest score and updates as Wales on course for long-awaited Six Nations win against toothless Azzurri

41 mins: The teams have returned to the field and Dan Edwards restarts the action.

That’s the end of a brilliant first half for Wales, who are well-placed to finally end their 15-game Six Nations losing run.

Two tries from Aaron Wainwright and one from captain Dewi Lake have given Steve Tandy’s side firm control of the game.

40 mins: Wainwright and Botham make powerful carries inside the 22, driving Wales to within five metres, but Italy hold firm with a choke tackle.

The half ends with a scrum – Italy will likely opt not to play out from this position.

38 mins: Another key moment for Wales as Rhys Carre secures the ball while Lorenzo Pani attempted to break from his own half.

There’s a slight touch to the ground, but the prop escapes any sanction and Wales head into the break looking to chase their bonus point.

37 mins: Wales make a change at tighthead prop with Tomas Francis coming off and Archie Griffin stepping on. Wales suffer an issue as Eddie James knocks on following a promising strike from a scrum.

Italy kick the ball downfield, but Josh Adams calmly clears it.

32 mins: Italy are struggling to respond, conceding a penalty just inside their own half.

The Italian lineout has been shaky. They played the ball to the back but were slow to launch the drive.

29 mins: Great try by Wales. Italy are going to have to re-group here and completely change their tactical game.

Dewi Lake makes a strong hit at the lineout before steering the maul over the line. Dan Edwards adds the conversion.

28 mins: Wales are in complete control. A grubber kick into the Italian 22 sees Ioane brought down by Rees-Zammit. Wales then turn over possession and earn a penalty as Ioane is penalised for holding on.

Edwards sends the ball to the corner. From the turnover, Wales mount another attack inside the 22. Italy defend well with Rees-Zammit superbly tackled, but Wales secure another penalty.

With sharper passing, they might have scored a third try. Edwards opts for another kick to the corner as Wales prepare to strike again.

26 mins: Wainwright claims his second try, finishing off a lineout drive that nearly reached the line.

Edwards adds the conversion from the left touchline, turning it into a seven-pointer.

Wales are now in a strong position to finally end their Six Nations losing streak.

25 mins: In just a minute, Wales have gone from a scrum outside their 22 to earning a penalty on the edge of Italy’s 22.

Rather than the straightforward three points they take the attacking option and head for the corner.

Edwards delivers an excellent kick, setting up a five-metre lineout. The Welsh maul drives powerfully toward the line but is brought down just short.

Wales then gain a penalty advantage and believe they’ve scored, prompting a TMO review.
