Despite the convincing look of the result, England did not play well, but they did not have to against moderate opponents who faded badly in the second half.

Gareth Barry and Emile Heskey scored late in the first period before Wayne Rooney and Frank Lampard, from the penalty spot, added more gloss to the scoreline.

Fabio Capello might have a 100 per cent record in group 6 qualifiers, but that does not mean his side are immune to playing badly.

They had previously endured sticky moments at home to Kazakhstan and Ukraine, and away to Belarus - conceding in each game - but the Italian has infused them with enough resolve to overcome their opponents where previous sides might have folded.

This match contained little to applaud from England, but that will scarcely matter if Capello's team pick up the handful of points now required to guarantee a place in South Africa next summer.

England lacked movement, invention, composure and basic technique, but still had more than enough to beat a side whose manager Bernd Storck compared them to an English conference side.

Yet there was an early scare reminiscent of the start against San Marino in 1993, where a calamitous Stuart Pearce back pass allowed Davide Gualtieri to score after just eight seconds.

The match had barely kicked off when Glen Johnson gave the ball away to Zhambyl Kukeyev, who raced clear down the left and crossed to an unmarked striker.
