Supporters of both sides arrive early at a sunny Old Trafford and are in good voice ahead of Saturday's friendly After coming off the bench to score against Hungary on Tuesday, Peter Crouch starts against Jamaica The deadlock is broken after 11 minutes by Frank Lampard following good work by Crouch and Michael Owen Shortly after, England have a second when Jermaine Taylor (right) heads into his own goal under pressure from John Terry Things worsen for the visitors on the half hour when Crouch's flick finds the net, allowing a reprise of his robotic dance Jamaica's defensive nightmare continues when Owen breaches the offside trap, rounds the goalkeeper and makes it 4-0 Despite all the goals, England fans are given a moment of worry when John Terry is withdrawn to rest a tight hamstring Unaffected, the hosts continue to dominate and score a fifth when Jamie Carragher's cross is met by Crouch on 66 minutes A hat-trick goes begging when he misses a penalty but a sweet finish completes the feat in the 89th minute The rout provides a perfect send-off for England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson who leaves his role after the World Cup
