Live Commentary

90mins

Full-Time: ENGLAND 6-0 ANDORRA.

90mins

The referee decides to play precisely no stoppage time so it's job done for England as they make it seven wins from seven qualifiers.

90mins

Defoe almost completes his hat-trick heading Young's cross narrowly over the bar.

89mins

Andorra bring on a new keeper for the closing seconds as Koldo is replaced by Jose Antonio Gomez.

88mins

Young whips in another poor cross. The Aston Villa man hasn't had a great time since coming on at half-time.

86mins

England appear to be content with six goals as they allow Andorra a spell of possession.

84mins

Andorra have been awful but six goals is still a good effort by England.

82mins

There's still time for more goals as England look to end a great seasin in style.

80mins

ENGLAND 6-0 ANDORRA. A bit of a scamble but they all count as CROUCH forces the ball through Koldo's legs and over the line.

79mins

Andorra bring off sole striker Silva with Juli Fernandez replacing him.

78mins

Crouch should make it six, but misses the ball after being set up by Walcott.

77mins

The Wembley crowd is in full voice. They sense more goals against the tiring Andorra defence.

75mins

ENGLAND 5-0 ANDORRA. It's a poor Beckham free-kick to be honest, but Koldo spills the ball and DEFOE is on hand to ram the rebound into the net.

75mins

England have a free-kick in Beckham territory.

73mins

ENGLAND 4-0 ANDORRA. Johnson is the creator once again, crossing for DEFOE to head past Koldo.

72mins

Crouch is lucky to get away with lashing out at Ildefons Lima. The referee didn't appear to see the incident.

71mins

Defoe is denied by Koldo's superb save, although the flag was already raised for offside.

70mins

Johnson is not having the same impact as he had in the first half. Andorra appear to have cut off his line of supply.

68mins

John Terry gets his head to Beckham's corner but can only guide the ball off-target.

Andorra survive a goalmouth scramble after Young's pace caused all kinds of problems inside the six-yard area.

64mins

England make their final change with Wayne Bridge replacing Ashley Cole.

63mins

Another yellow card for the visitors as Ildefons Lima is booked.

62mins

Better by England. Lampard's 25-year shot is saved by Koldo and Walcott is unable to guide the rebound towards goal.

61mins

A third of the match left. It must be time for another goal now.

60mins

Lesott can't quite get on the end of Beckham's pass as England continue to search for more goals.

59mins

Beckham plays in Crouch whose acrobatic scissor kick is deflected away for a corner.

57mins

Better by Young who cuts the ball back for Defoe only for the Tottenham striker to head wide.

55mins

Walcott's also going down too may blind-alleys as England struggle to get going since the break.

53mins

Young can't do anything right as he beats his man and tries to get to the byline only to then allow the ball to drift out of play for a goal-kick.

51mins

Young has seen a lot of the ball since coming on at half-time but has done little with it so far.

49mins

Defoe races through the Andorra defence only to then shoot across goal from a tight angle when a pass to Crouch was surely the better option.

47mins

Andorra make a change two minutes into the second half as Antoni Lima makes way for Marc Vales.

47mins

Young almost makes an immediate impact only to lash a shot high and very wide.

46mins

... while Ashley Young replaces Gerrard.

46mins

Capello has made a double substitution with Rooney making way for Jermain Defoe....

46mins

Andorra get the second half underway.

45mins

Half Time: ENGLAND 3-0 ANDORRA.

44mins

The referee is unimpressed by Koldo's comments and books the Andorra keeper for his indiscretion.

42mins

Johnson's certainly put his display at the weekend in the shade. The Portsmouth man is showing all his attacking prowess tonight. His defensive qualities are not being tested.

41mins

Koldo gets down well to save Beckham's low free-kick.

40mins

Xavi Andorra becomes the first player to go into the referee's notebook.

Andorra make a rare incursion into the England half but it's only just over the halfway line and comes to nothing.

35mins

Lescott's flicked header from Beckham's accurate delivery flies wide.

33mins

Johnson is seeing a lot of the ball as he wins yet another corner. Gerrard takes it but to comes to nothing.

31mins

Silva jogs back onto the pitch as Robert Green is handed a rare touch of the ball.

29mins

ENGLAND 2-0 ANDORRA. Johnson and Walcott combine down the right again and the Arsenal man pulls the ball back for FRANK LAMPARD to drill a low shot home.

29mins

Silva's in the wars again as he trots off the pitch to receive treatment for a head injury.

27mins

Johnson, again, plays Rooney in. The Manchester United man spins but loses his bearings and is unable to guide his shot on target.

25mins

Johnson finds Walcott inside the six-yard area but the Arsenal youngster drags another shot wide.

23mins

After the early onslaught when they could easily had had three goals in five minutes, England have lost their way.

22mins

Beckham's corner is cleared to Walcott who lashes a 30-yard shot horribly wide.

20mins

Gerrard's long-range effort deflects away for a corner.

19mins

Johnson is upended by Jose Manuel Txema Garcia as Andorra start to get physical.

18mins

England's passing is starting to go astray but they can afford to relax having got the opening goal.

16mins

Gerrard slips just as he is about to shoot as England look to double their lead.

14mins

Andorra funnel back into defence again as England launch yet another attack.

12mins

Unsurprisingly it's all England who are trying to use the full width of the pitch.

Crouch gets his head to Beckham's free-kick but can only guide the ball over the bar.

It could easily be 3-0 to England already.

4mins

Theo Walcott's close-range effort is parried by the Andorra keeper and Rooney can only head the rebound against the post.

3mins

Wayne Rooney tries to chip Jesus Luis Koldo Alvarez but the keeper is alive to the danger and tips the ball over the bar. Lively start by England.

Steven Gerrard bursts forward but Lima's superb tackle inside the penalty area ends the Liverpool captain's surge.

1mins

England get the match underway at a far from full Wembley.

0mins

Capello has named a strong starting line-up with David Beckham, Joleon Lescott and Peter Crouch all starting in place of Gareth Barry, Emile Heskey and Matthew Upson.

0mins

A Tube strike has added to the strange atmosphere surrounding the match as Fabio Capello's side aim to maintain their 100 per cent winning record before heading for their summer holidays.

0mins

Hopefully in 12 months' time England will be gearing up for the World Cup Finals in South Africa and tonight's game against one of the minnows of European football will be long forgotten.

0mins

It may be the second week in June and the 2009-10 Champions League campaign starts in three weeks' time, but there is still the small matter of England's World Cup qualifier against Andorra to enjoy.
