England secured an easy 3-0 win over minnows Trinidad and Tobago with goals from Gareth Barry and a brace from Jermain Defoe.
The low key match was played by many of England's fringe players as the Chelsea and Man Utd players (except for Ferdinand) stayed at home after their champions league exploits.
Barry, Defoe, Downing and Bentley will feel that they have staked a claim for a first team place after good performances, while Stephen Warnock, Phil Jagielka and Joe Hart all made their debuts.

"We want to play without fear, with a big show of confidence and in a very English type of spirit" said Capello.
"The players won't be fresh like the USA players, whose season is just beginning, but we need to play with spirit and intensity."
John Terry will wear the captain's armband.

England Coach Fabio Capello will have the final say whether Manchester United and Chelsea players will travel with England for the Trinidad & Tobago game.
Nine players involved in the Champions League final are due to report for England on Saturday ahead of Wednesday's match against the USA.
"I'll decide - if I want them to go then they'll go," he told the BBC in his first interview in English.
Rankings Fall
Posted by Admin on 20/05/2008
England's European ranking is set to fall after Uefa approved changes to how national coefficients are determined.
Rankings are currently based on qualifying matches only, but future performances in European Championships and World Cups will now be included.
That means England's failure to qualify for Euro 2008 could see them drop from second to sixth.

England 2-1 Switzerland
Posted by Admin on 06/02/2008
Fabio Capello's reign as England manager has started with victory over an under strength Swiss side.
Jermain Jenas and Shaun Wright-Phillips scored the goals that secured the win, but Steven Gerrard, Joe Cole and Wayne Rooney were instrumental.
England settled their early nerves with Jenas' 40th minute strike (his first for his country) and enjoyed a comfortable second half, despite Derdiyok's 58th minute equaliser.
Wright-Phillips scored the winner in the 62nd minute after good work from captain Gerrard down the England left.
Overall it was an encouraging start to Capello's England career, though there is a very long way to go to restore lost pride to the three lions badge.
