Twelve minutes in and England take the lead, courtesy of an Alessandro Della Valle own goal. A lovely pass over the top finds Leighton Baines rushing in behind the San Marino defence on the left. He knocks the ball into the middle, with the intention of finding Rooney at the far post. It doesn't reach him though because Della Valle gets there first, and the ball cannons off his shin and into his own net from six yards out. Whoops Photograph: Carl Recine/Action Images

England's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is causing San Marino problems, no more so than when he doubles England's lead in the 29th minute. He combines with Kyle Walker on the right, produces some neat skill on the edge of the area and plays a sharp one-two with Wayne Rooney. His clever touch takes him inside and then, from around 12 yards out, he slashes a finish high past Simoncini with his left foot, enjoyably shooting just as Rooney was about to nab the ball off him Photograph: Owen Humphreys/PA

Jermain Defoe makes it three six minutes later when he taps home from close range after Oxlade-Chamberlain heads Rooney's cross across Aldo Simoncini. It's the little striker's first goal of 2013 and his 18th goal for England Photograph: Carl Recine/Action Images

There's also a fair few England fans inside the ground too, including the Pukka Pies England band. Hope the chaps in front of them remembered their earplugs Photograph: Pasquale Bove/EPA

Six minutes before half-time Ashley Young gets England's fourth when he lets fly with his right foot from 25 yard out and sends the ball screaming past the despairing Simoncini before hitting the underside of the bar as it flew into the top-right corner Photograph: Paul Mcfegan/Sportsphoto/Allstar

Three minutes later Frank Lampard equals the Wembley scoreline when he tucks home Leighton Baines' low cross. At half-time it's San Marino 0 - England 5 Photograph: Giampiero Sposito/Reuters

The second half continues where the first half left off - England pressing forward peppering the San Marino goal. Goal number six comes after 54 minutes when Wayne Rooney curls a free-kick up ... Photograph: Mike Hewitt/Getty Images

Leighton Baines goes on another marauding run, he's been doing that to good effect quite a lot in this game Photograph: Mike Hewitt/Getty Images

Defoe gets his second, and England's eighth, in the 77nd minute. Oxlade-Chamberlain stabs an excellent, toepoked pass over the left of the San Marino defence for Kyle Walker to chase. He reaches it before it goes out and pulls it back for Defoe, who despite a rather unsubtle tug on his shirt, stabs the ball home from six yards out Photograph: Carl Recine/Action Images

The final whistle goes to end this goalfest and England have notched their highest scoring victory since playing San Marino here in 1993. Joe Hart takes the opportunity to applaud the England fans. Though to be honest he could have turned round and done that all game and still kept a clean sheet. Or maybe he spent the 90 minutes thinking "What was I thinking agreeing to star in that god-awful Head & Shoulders ad". No doubt he'll have a bit more to do on Tuesday night when England take on Montenegro Photograph: Paul Mcfegan/Sportsphoto Ltd./Allstar
