00:00...unless they can beat Slovenia today, who only need a point.
00:06Lampard.
00:11Milner once again into it. Defoe!
00:16England have the lead.
00:19Jermain Defoe.
00:21Milner's cross.
00:22And Defoe just got there ahead of his marker.
00:25Shuler to steer England into the lead.
00:31Terry.
00:36Terry now for England.
00:39Milner who laid on the goal.
00:41Defoe's in again, the goalkeeper's spilled it.
00:43Lampard!
00:45Goalkeeper looks flustered there and he's complaining to his defence.
00:53Defoe again.
00:54It's Defoe for England, beaten away by the keeper.
00:57Gerrard.
00:58Rooney now.
01:00Steven Gerrard!
01:03Goalkeeper's lost it.
01:05And it spins agonisingly close to the goal line.
01:10You can see Gerrard was trying to place the ball into the corner of the goal.
01:16You have to go back to 1950 to find the last time England lost their final group match
01:21for the World Cup finals.
01:23They lead by a goal to nil at half-time in this game.
01:27England all in red
01:29against a very disappointing Slovenian side.
01:32And then Jokic slices the ball horribly.
01:37And it's going to be a corner kick to England, a real gift.
01:41Rooney's taking it quickly.
01:45Barry.
01:47Defoe!
01:50Should have had his second goal of the game.
01:53Headed back in by Barry.
01:55England were onside and Defoe should have made it 2-0.
02:02Lampard now for England.
02:05In towards Rooney, who's onside!
02:07Wayne Rooney!
02:12He couldn't want for a better chance.
02:16What does he have to do to score?
02:25Kieran.
02:26Towards Dedic, good flick down.
02:28Mlakavic!
02:30Great block by Terry.
02:31Great opportunity for Slovenia again and the shot by Dedic is blocked.
02:35And the third opportunity is wasted
02:39from Bursa.
02:40Easily Slovenia's best chance to draw level in this game.
02:45And a little bit of ill luck here.
02:47Kirsten.
02:52Referee looks at his watch once again.
02:55England have qualified for the next round of the FIFA World Cup.
03:01Slovenia bid a tearful farewell.
