83' England's final change brings David Bentley into play for his full debut in place of Shaun Wright-Phillips

73' Israel take off Yaniv Katan, on comes Michael Zandberg

64'

This time Gerrard has his own try and goal, but his 20-yard volley is into Aouate's hands

63'

Gerrard, out on the left, sees the over-lapping run of the impressive Joe Cole and slips the ball into his path inside the box. Cole's shot is saved by the keeper.

57' Israel substitution sees Arik Benado leave the field and Omer Golan join the play

49'

GOAL! He's back Michael Owen scores his first goal at the new Wembley, and what a way to start. Gareth Barry played a crisp pass into Owen's feet 18 yards out and he swivelled and shot into the top corner giving Aouate no chance

Well here we go then - the second half live from Wembley.

37'

Wright-Phillips at the other end knocks in a cross for Cole, he lays it into the path of Owen unmarked ten yards out. The Newcastle man fires in his first effort which is blocked by the face of Aouate, the rebound is then sent spinning over.

33'

Joe Cole again on the left cuts in and plays the ball into the feet of Micah Richards on the edge of the area. His turn and shot lacks the power to trouble Dudu Aouate

26'

Israel have a free-kick on the left, but Micah Richards gets on the end of it to clear.

20'

GOAL! Shaun Wright-Phillips arrives at the back post, breaking the offside trap, to volley home Joe Cole's cross.

Israel defender Shimon Gershon also spots the run and blocks it illegally to earn the games first booking. Gerrard's free-kick from the left of the box his headed away for a corner

10'

The returning Emile Heskey has the first real chance. Michael Owen on the six yard box lays the ball back to the Wigan man arriving in the area but he fires over the bar

5'
