78'
Off, Wayne Bridge. On, James Milner.

66'

Crouch glances an Aaron Lennon centre just over the angle of bar and post, as the first half heads into stoppage time.
37'
Sergei Omelianchuk forces Ben Foster into his first real save of the game with a well struck shot from 25 yards out, but the England goalkeeper makes a comfortable stop.
35'
Gareth Barry makes a fine tackle in the area to deny Igor Shitov following a flowing move from Belarus. England have been struggling to keep possession for any real length of time, prompting Manager Fabio Capello from the bench and into his technical area to direct his side.
29'
Johnson's powerful run forward and into the box sadly ends with a left-footed shot well wide of the target.
21'
Agbonlahor breaks from his own half and forces a good save from Yury Zhenov. From the resulting corner, Crouch's header was saved by Zhenov.

Sergei Kornilenko strikes a volley wide of the post, after a corner from the right picked him out in the area.
04'
Peter Crouch. The striker knocks the ball home from close range, after Agbonlahor had slipped the offside trap and crossed from the left. A scruffy goal in the end, but they all count.
02'
Shaun Wright-Phillips strikes a low shot narrowly wide of the target after Frank Lampard's free-kick from the left was headed out to him.
KO
England get the game underway, with Peter Crouch and Gabby Agbinlahor kicking-off.
