It was not pitch perfect but Wales made a winning start to their World Cup qualifying campaign, the substitute Rabbi Matondo capping victory in stoppage time after Ben Davies and Daniel James scored either side of a Kazakhstan penalty. The hush of trepidation that filled the Cardiff air approaching the final whistle confirmed what proved an awkward but satisfying night as Wales edged past Kazakhstan, 110th in the world, to preserve Craig Bellamy’s unbeaten record, though an improved performance is surely required if that is to remain in North Macedonia on Tuesday.Wales hope this is the start of another memorable journey. And one with a happier ending than three woeful group-stage performances.

4 d. ago ‘This is not comedy! Pay attention’: from Cabaret to Trump rallies, why does audience laughter feel so sinister?

Americans are struggling to reconcile Trump’s campness and cruelty – but comedy has always been a tool for authoritariansEvery night on a new Broadway production of Cabaret, Adam Lambert waits to see how the audience will react to one of the show’s biggest numbers, If You Could See Her.
