Wales 0 England 2: No mistakes from Capello's men after Lampard and Bent douse Welsh fire
1-0: Frank Lampard scores the opener

A slip by James Collins allowed Terry o slip in Young and the Wales defender clumsily brought down his Aston Villa team-mate as he tried to recover.

Lampard coolly sent Wayne Hennessey the wrong way and England went on to dominate the first half with ease. Ashley Cole had a shot blocked by Ashley Williams before the visitors doubled their lead on 15 minutes after more good work by Young.

Glen Johnson sent Young racing clear down the right and his cross was clinically dispatched by Bent six yards out.

Hennessey then had to deal with a dangerous Young cross as England threatened again and Rooney picked out Bent with a superb 60-yard ball only for the striker to head wide.

Ramsey looked full of energy as he tried to haul Wales back into contention but was perhaps trying too hard to impress and was often left frustrated.

Wales did get the ball into the box when Bellamy lofted in a free-kick but Joe Hart punched clear under pressure from Steve Morison.
