England v Sweden - in pictures

Having enjoyed a somewhat unexpected victory over the world champions Spain at the weekend, England's fans are heading back to Wembley to see whether their side can dispatch Fifa's 14th ranked team, Sweden Photograph: Tom Jenkins for The Guardian

The Bobby Moore statue is illuminated amid the night's sky. An inscription beneath it reads: "Immaculate footballer. Imperial defender. Immortal hero of 1966. First Englishman to raise the World Cup aloft. Favourite son of London's East End. Finest legend of West Ham United. National Treasure. Master of Wembley. Lord of the game. Captain extraordinary. Gentleman of all time." Photograph: Tom Jenkins for The Guardian

Swedish fans inside the ground are quick to taunt the English, reminding them that the Swedes have not lost to the English since the playing days of Sir Bobby Photograph: Tom Jenkins/Tom Jenkins for The Guardian

England's current captain John Terry is one of only a handful of experienced heads in the side tonight. The team-sheet reads: Hart, Walker, Cahill, Terry, Baines, Rodwell, Jones, Barry, Walcott, Zamora, Downing. Photograph: Tom Jenkins/Tom Jenkins for The Guardian

England emerge from the tunnel led by Terry. Not many fans are here to see them - that's the downside of having qualification for Euro 2012 in the bag Photograph: Tom Jenkins/Tom Jenkins

Bobby Zamora is leading the line for England tonight. It's only Zamora's second international cap despite him being aged 30 Photograph: Tom Jenkins for The Guardian

Here's another man with limited international experience. Everton's Jack Rodwell is also earning his second cap having made his debut as a substitute against Spain at the weekend Photograph: Tom Jenkins for The Guardian

In the 21st minute, Stewart Downing has sufficient space on the corner of the box to deliver a tempting cross which Gareth Barry nods goalwards ... Photograph: Tom Jenkins for The Guardian

And the ball squirts beyond the keeper and inside the post to put England 1-0 up Photograph: Tom Jenkins for The Guardian

Barry and Stewart look pretty pleased with themselves Photograph: Tom Jenkins for The Guardian

No wonder - that's England's 2000th goal. Bet they were all keen to net that one Photograph: Tom Jenkins for The Guardian

But hold on a second - replays show that it'll be Daniel Majstorovic's name which goes down in the record books as the 2000th goal scorer. Barry's header was going wide until it diverted off the Swede's forehead Photograph: Tom Jenkins for The Guardian

Zamora would love a goal tonight to prove his worth to Fabio Capello, but he fluffed the best of his chances early in the half when he hit the side-netting from ten yards. Now he's being all too easily crowded out of the match Photograph: Tom Jenkins for The Guardian

The next decent chance falls to Rodwell, who really ought to double England's lead with a header from close range, but the youngster's effort glances the post Photograph: Tom Jenkins for The Guardian

Rodwell won't get many better opportunities to score for England and he knows it Photograph: Tom Jenkins for The Guardian

In the centre of the park, Manchester United's Phil Jones sprints clear of his marker. England seem to be the only side with any real attacking intent tonight Photograph: Tom Jenkins for The Guardian

Spoke too soon. Suddenly a high ball over England's defence puts Gary Cahill and Terry in a tizz Photograph: Tom Jenkins for The Guardian

Having come on as a substitute, Daniel Sturridge looks to twist between Majstorovic and Larsson Photograph: Tom Jenkins for The Guardian

Kyle Walker has been sharp on the right flank - so sharp that the only way Larsson can contain him is to tug him backwards. But still a second goal eludes England Photograph: Tom Jenkins for The Guardian

Cahill, meanwhile, is mopping up all that comes his way in defence Photograph: Tom Jenkins for The Guardian

Final score: 1-0 to England. Terry and his team-mates can be happy enough with that result as it means England have not lost any of their fixtures in 2011. Imagine if they can repeat that feat next year Photograph: Tom Jenkins for The Guardian
