The Scottish fans are in fine voice as kick-off approachesPhotograph: Tom JenkinsThe bands wait to play the anthems Photograph: Tom JenkinsIt's a packed house as the two teams emerge from the tunnel Photograph: Tom JenkinsThe English National Anthem is sung by the England team and fans but is greeted by a chorus of boos from some of the Scottish fansPhotograph: Tom JenkinsJack Wilshere takes on Robert Snodgrass and James Morrison as the game gets underwayPhotograph: Tom JenkinsEleven minutes in and Scotland take the lead courtesy of James Morrison's right boot and some dodgy keeping by Joe Hart. A Scottish corner is headed clear but only as far as Morrison, who takes one touch, ranges forward, and bangs a shot towards the bottom right corner. The ball ends up flying into the top right, thanks to another almighty howler by the England keeper, Joe Hart. Though the shot was a powerful one and he didn't see it till late, Hart should have more with it than parrying it into the netPhotograph: Tom JenkinsThe Scottish players are rather pleased ...Photograph: Tom JenkinsBut not as pleased as the Scottish fans in the standsPhotograph: Tom JenkinsGary Cahill climbs above Robert Snodgrass to clear the ballPhotograph: Tom JenkinsJack Wilshere doesn't just go on marauding runs upfield, here he tracks back and slides into dispossess Scott BrownPhotograph: Tom JenkinsJames Morrison rises up to head the ball clear Photograph: Tom JenkinsThe game's level just before the half-hour mark when Tom Cleverley slides a gorgeous pass down the inside-right channel to cut Scotland's defence into ribbons and set Theo Walcott free. Walcott races into the area, looks to have over-run the ball, but he checks, checks inside past Whittaker and Brown, and slams a low shot into the bottom right. McGregor had no chancePhotograph: Tom JenkinsWayne Rooney looks a bit rusty after his recent injury woes and this is illustrated on the half hour mark when he cuts inside from the left then, looking for the bottom left corner, fires a shot past Grant Hanley but drags it wide of the post Photograph: Tom JenkinsScotland take the lead again just four minutes into the second half with a fantastic strike by Kenny Miller. The ball's whipped in towards Miller from the right. Miller's on the edge of the D, with his back to goal. He shapes to turn on the left, with Cahill behind him, then turns sharply to the right. Cahill's beaten all ends up. And so is Hart, as Miller whips an astonishing effort into the bottom left corner. Hart had no chance Photograph: Tom JenkinsEngland level again just four minutes later when Danny Welbeck rises highest to glance in Steven Gerrard's free-kickPhotograph: Tom JenkinsGrant Hanley and Leighton Baines tussle for the ballPhotograph: Tom JenkinsKyle Walker clears the ball Photograph: Tom JenkinsWith 70 minutes on the clock Leighton Baines fires the ball into the six-yard box. Ricky Lambert rises, level with the near post, and hammers a header into the top left cornerPhotograph: Tom JenkinsHere it is from another angle Photograph: Tom JenkinsThat's a superlative goal from the 31-year-old debutant, with his first touch of the ball just two minutes after coming onPhotograph: Tom JenkinsWilfried Zaha, who came on for the last quarter of an hour, almost adds another for England when he is released down the inside right by a looping pass from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. A clever chip, but Zaha's not got much space to run into, and it's a tight angle. Still, he manages to poke the ball past McGregor, but unfortunately for England, his effort bounces slowly across goal and to the left of the targetPhotograph: Tom JenkinsThe final whistle brings a passionate and entertaining game to an end with England triumphing 3-2, courtesy of a fairytale debut by Ricky LambertPhotograph: Tom Jenkins
