Wales 0-2 England: Cheered on by a vocal crowd, the hosts look to assert themselves in the early stages and Craig Bellamy (right) goes in strongly on Ashley Cole to the annoyance of Wayne Rooney (left)
Any hopes Wales may have had of stifling England are swiftly ended when James Collins slips and bundles over Ashley Young to concede a penalty in the seventh minute
The responsibility of converting the spot-kick falls to Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard who calmly beats goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey to make it 1-0
Only another seven minutes elapse before England score again, Darren Bent sweeping home from six yards after being picked out by Young as things go from bad to worse for Gary Speed's side
The former Sheffield United boss sees his players stem the flow of goals but they create nothing in reply as the first half ends with England firmly on top
The hosts appear marginally improved after the interval with the locally-based Bellamy looking the most likely to pose a threat to England's defence
Having recovered from the broken leg he suffered last year, youngster Aaron Ramsey captains Wales and creates a chance for Steve Morison on the hour only for the Millwall striker's touch to let him down
Wales force a number of corners as the second half wears on but Fabio Capello's charges deal efficiently with everything that comes their way as they seal a comfortable 2-0 win to go top of Group G on goal difference
