  Frank Farina quote: "We were magnificent tonight. To say I am happy is understatement." On Harry Kewell: "It was something special, he is world class. Scored a wonderful goal and he was the dominant player on the park." Australia wins 3-1 93' - Bresciano free kick is held by Robinson and the final whistle goes 88' - Bresciano tries a long range shot that flies well over the bar. 87' - Paul Okon off - Kevin Muscat on 84 - Mark Viduka off - Mile Sterjovski on 83' - GOAL - Emerton and Aloisi play one-two and Emerton slots ball home from 12 yards. England cannot quite get the final pass inside the box and pressing earnestly. Australia content to play the ball around and not push forward too quickly. 73' - Scott Chipperfield off - Vince Grella on 69' - Tony Popovic off - Tony Vidmar on 67' - GOAL - quick break down the right, Jenas cross to near post and Jeffers heads home. England's youngsters are seemingly playing better than the first half team, but Australia looks composed although with Kewell's absence the spark has gone from the attack. 62' - Rooney gets a shot on target but blocked by Popovic 60' - the game is stopped by a streaker coming onto the field 57' - Harry Kewell off - John Aloisi on 55' - Lazaridis tries long range effort goes over the bar 54' - dangerous free kick to Kewell at near post, he ducks under and Paul Robinson makes great reflex save. 48' - Bresciano short corner with Okon, his cross actually just sails over the bar 46' - Eriksson true to his word has made 11 changes at half time, while Marco Bresciano has come on for Skoko.

Brilliant first half from the Socceroos and fully deserve their 2-0 lead. Kewell simply magnificent and has caused problems for England everytime he has got the ball. England will fell aggrieved that Scholes' goal was ruled out but overall they have been disappointing.

Atmosphere is electric. Latest News

Kick-Off has been delayed by 15 minutes due to security alert at several train stations in central London. Harry Kewell's hamstring is fine but he came down with a touch of the toncilitis last night, although it will not effect his place in the side. Everyone else is fit. Socceroos coach Frank Farina has named an attacking line-up to face England, with the inclusion of Scott Chipperfield on the left of midfield supported by Birmingham City's Stan Lazaridis behind him. Harry Kewell has come through training and will take his place alongside Leeds teammate Mark Viduka up front. Lucas Neill wins his first International cap in over four years and his outstanding form for Blackburn Rovers, justifies his selection over incumbent Kevin Muscat. Also coming into the side (from the team which lost to Uruguay) is central defender Tony Popovic to partner Craig Moore. Sven-Goran Eriksson has named a strong starting line-up with James Beattie getting his first cap and will start next to Michael Owen. Keiron Dyer will start on the left, while Frank Lampard's impressive form with Chelsea has seen get a start in the centre of midfield. The defence takes on a familiar look with Nevill on the right and Cole on the left and Campbell and Ferdinand making up the central pairing. West Ham's David James has got the nod as the starting goalkeeper.
