Football: Denmark v England friendly - in pictures

England manager Fabio Capello gets camera shy before kick-off Photograph: Michael Regan/Getty Images ...whereas this young Denmark fan looks happy to pose for the camera Photograph: Carl Recine/Action Images Frank Lampard looks a bit nervous as he captains England for the first time Photograph: Michael Regan/Getty Images Whereas Jack Wilshere doesn't look fazed at the prospect of making his full international debut, nor anchoring the midfield, or even by Capello likening his talent to a youthful Franco Baresi, Paolo Maldini and Raul Photograph: Michael Regan/Getty Images That's not the sort of start that captain Lampard will be looking for, as he's one of the England players who are caught napping after 10 minutes when Denmark's Daniel Agger nips in between Terry and Wilshere to dives to meet Eriksen's fantastic cross and put the home side in front Photograph: Paul Ellis/AFP/Getty Images After that shock, England push forward. The ball gets played out to the right where Theo Walcott outmuscles Simon Poulsen, then twists away from him... Photograph: Owen Humphreys/PA ...before putting a great ball across the edge of the six yard box... Photograph: Paul Ellis/AFP/Getty Images ...where Darren Bent is waiting to tap the ball home Photograph: Carl Recine/Action Images Jack Wilshere bursts between Christian Poulsen and William Kvist Jorgensen Photograph: Keld Navntoft/EPA Ashley Cole brings the ball under control with his chest Photograph: Carl Recine/Action Images There's plenty of empty seats in the 38000 capacity Parken Stadium... Photograph: Owen Humphreys/PA ...but there's a healthy amount of England fans amongst the 21,523 under the roof in Copenhagen Photograph: Owen Humphreys/PA At the start of the second half Darren Bent should have doubled his, and England's, tally when he gets on the end of a looping cross from Ashley Young but his header is saved by a flying Thomas Sorensen Photograph: Owen Humphreys/PA Christian Poulsen brings another marauding Glen Johnson run to an end Photograph: Mike Hewitt/Getty Images Scott Parker makes an appearance in the second half and becomes the first player to receive his first four full caps whilst playing for four different clubs Photograph: Claus Bech/EPA Midway through the second half, another of England's second half substitutes makes their mark when Ashley Young notches. Johnson surges forward again on the right before slipping the ball inside to Young, who steers the ball into the net Photograph: Owen Humphreys/PA The Villa forward celebrates his strike with fellow goalscorer Darren Bent and provider Johnson. The game finishes 2-1 to England, thanks to their improved performance after the break with Scott Parker and Ashley Young both putting in performances which should warrant further inclusion in Capello's England set-up Photograph: Michael Regan/Getty Images
