Joe Cole is marshalled closely by Oliver Konsa as he tries to conjure an early opening for England

Former captain David Beckham returns to competitive action and sees his free-kick go just wide of Mart Poom's goal

The visitors look more dangerous in the opening period and find Poom on hand to thwart Michael Owen

England's under-fire manager Steve McClaren encourges his players as they search for the all-important breakthrough

With almost half an hour played, Konsa goes close for Estonia before Poom saves at the other end to deny England again

The deadlock ends in the 37th minute when Peter Crouch heads a throw to Cole who then fires home on the turn

Nine minutes into the second half, a superb ball by Beckham finds Crouch who nods the ball over Poom and into the net

The visitors have a third soon after when Owen converts another pinpoint cross from Beckham

Having done his job, and nursing a small knock, Beckham is substituted to the sound of applause from the travelling fans

With Russia holding Croatia in Zagreb, the 3-0 win leaves McClaren's side just three points from a qualifying spot
