Two own goals gave England an unconvincing win over Japan in their final warm-up game before flying to South Africa for the World Cup.
England started sloppily and were punished after six minutes when Marcus Tulio Tanaka met Yasuhito Endo’s corner and crashed the ball past David James.
Frank Lampard had a penalty saved before England levelled when Tanaka headed Joe Cole’s cross in his own net.
And England stole the win when Yuji Nakazawa turned Ashley Cole’s ball in.
England boss Fabio Capello will trim his squad from the provisional 30 to a 23-man World Cup party on Tuesday and after the match the Italian revealed he had made his mind up who would be selected – but would not share the information.
