90+3 |
The referee brings an end to an excellent performance - roll on the World Cup! |
|
90 |
The 6-0 scoreline is England's best result under Sven-Goran Eriksson, eclipsing the 6-1 drubbing of Iceland. |
|
89 |
Goal! It's fairytale stuff for Crouch as he joins a handful of England greats who have scored hat-tricks for their country. In the best goal of the afternoon, Crouch steers home Owens' lay-off. That's five in three for Crouch. |
|
88 |
Michael Owen latches on to another long pass but the chance comes to nothing. The Newcastle man still seems full of running - a good sign for England. |
|

|
85' Johnson comes on for Hue for Jamaica. |
|
82 |
Crouch has a glorious chance to become an England hat-trick hero, but the Liverpool man fluffs his lines. After Owen was fouled in the box, Crouch's Dwight Yorke style penalty drifted hopelessly over the bar. |
|

|
78' Stephenson replaces Euell for Jamaica. |
|

|
77' Stewart Downing comes on for Steven Gerrard. |
|

|
76' Bennett replaces Fuller for Jamaica. |

England are cruising to their sixth straight win - ideal preparation for the World Cup. |
|

|
66' Aaron Lennon makes his senior international debut, coming on for Beckham, while Carrick replaces Lampard. |
|
65 |
Goal! Crouch - England's Robo-Kop has done it again, netting from close range before bringing the house down with his customary robotics celebration. |
|
64 |
Crouch shows his worth a minute later, chesting Gerrard's ball to Cole who brings a smart save from Ricketts. |
|
63 |
Joe Cole wins possession and plays in Crouch, but the Jamaica defence deal with the in-form forward resulting in a goal-kick. |
|
59 |
Burton, formerly of Derby, heads over much to the disappointment of the 9,000 Jamaican fans who are adding to the carnival atmosphere. |
|
58 |
Carragher is in the action again, this time at the other end of the pitch, heading over to deny Jamaica a goalscoring chance. |
|
56 |
Joe Cole lashes a volley wide after Jamaica fail to clear their lines effectively. |
|
54 |
Lampard, who is becoming more influential, slides the ball to Carragher who wins another corner. |
|

|
52' Crawford is the second name in the book for a terrible foul on Lampard. |
|
50 |
Lampard bursts clear and squares to Crouch, but the Jamaican defenders scramble the ball behind for a corner. |
|
49 |
David Beckham's cross seems destined for Michael Owen until Ricketts plucks it out of the sky with ease. |
|

|
47' Jamaica make another change with Burton coming on for Shelton up front. |
|

|
46' David James replaces Paul Robinson. For Jamaica, Crawford comes on for Taylor. |
|

|
The second half gets underway with the vocal Old Trafford crowd hoping England can add to their four goals. |
|
45+2
|
The referee brings the first half to an end. |
|
45+1 |
Fuller turns Bridge, leaving the Chelsea man on the seat of his pants, but the shot from 30 yards roars wide. |
|
45 |
Shelton works himself a yard on the edge of the box but his shot goes high into the Old Trafford crowd. |
|
43 |
The game has taken on an element of a training match with plenty of room being afforded to both sides. |
|
40 |
England continue to pile forward through a rampaging Jamie Carragher who wins a corner. |
|
36 |
Luton Shelton goes through on goal but fires a good chance wide of Paul Robinson's goal. |
|

|
35' Wayne Bridge replaces Ashley Cole. |
|

|
33' Sol Campbell replaces John Terry. |
|
32 |
Goal! Michael Owen nets his 36th England goal, rounding the keeper before rolling the ball into an empty net. |
|
29 |
Goal! It's robot dance time again after Crouch diverts Beckham's corner into the Jamaica net. |
|
27 |
The visitors are enjoying their best spell of possession, but a promising move breaks down when a shot is blocked. |
|
25 |
A slight concern for the England bench as David Beckham appears to be limping. |
|
22 |
Paul Robinson underlines his class with a wonderful stop after Jason Euell got the better of John Terry. |
|
19 |
England continue to press and only some clever goalkeeping by Ricketts, rushing off his line, denies another chance. |
|
17 |
Goal! England's superb start continues when David Beckham's free-kick is nodded in the net by Taylor - not a great ten minutes for the Jamaican defender! |
|
11 |
Goal! Crouch heads down the Owen who helps the ball on to Lampard. The Chelsea man applies an expert finish from 12 yards. |
|
9 |
From the subsequent free-kick, David Beckham blasts the ball in the wall. |
|

|
8' Taylor is booked for his challenge on Frank Lampard |
|
7 |
Jamaica certainly mean business and look a far cry from the side who were thumped 4-1 by Ghana during the week. |
|
6 |
England knock the ball around nicely, but a long ball to Michael Owen comes to nothing. |
|
5 |
Steven Gerrard is fouled 35 yards from goal. David Beckham floats a pass in but Frank Lampard fails to get a decent connection. |
|
3 |
Jamaica break down the left and win the first corner of the afternoon following Steven Gerrard's defensive header. |
|
2 |
Peter Crouch stumbles under a heavy challenge but seems to be OK. |
|
1 |
Old Trafford certainly looks a picture, with plenty of England shirts in the crowd. |
|

|
The teams kick-off, with England lining up in a 4-4-2 formation, headed by Peter Crouch and Michael Owen up front. |
