Wales captain Ben Davies hailed the composure of head coach Craig Bellamy during Saturday's 3-1 win over Kazakhstan at Cardiff City Stadium.

Dan James opened the scoring for Wales in the ninth minute, though Askhat Tagybergen equalised with a penalty that just about crept in.

Wales responded well in the second half, though, with Davies, who supplied the assist for James' opener, and Rabbi Matondo also getting on the scoresheet.

And Davies said coach Bellamy, who was renowned for his feisty character during his playing days, deserved plenty of credit for his approach at half-time.

"The players were the ones that were the most frustrated at half-time," Davies told BBC Sport.

"[Bellamy] came in Mr. Calm, he came in with a plan, was clear in the messaging he gave us and what he expected in the second half, he simply asked for more energy and keep doing what we're doing."

It was a sentiment echoed by James, who said: "He [Bellamy] told us at half-time to keep digging in.

"There were moments in the first half where we didn't control the game as much as we wanted to, but in the second half we controlled it much more."
