BEN FOSTER - Hardly had anything to do but crucially did well when called upon to save from Sergei Omelyanchuk. 6 out of 10.
GLEN JOHNSON - Still prone to the odd sloppy pass and defensive lapse but plenty of threat going forward. 6.
WAYNE BRIDGE - Did nothing wrong but Ashley Cole, who was rested, will not be too worried about his place at left-back. 6.
JOHN TERRY - Usual dependable self at centre-back and offered a threat from set-pieces at the other end. 7.
RIO FERDINAND - Needed a solid night after his error in Ukraine and Belarus' limp attack was the perfect opposition. 6.
AARON LENNON - Needed to get on the ball more because he looked likely to create when he was fed. 6.
FRANK LAMPARD - Good distribution from the Chelsea midfielder, who had a more free role than usual. 7.
GARETH BARRY - Provided a defensive shield for the back four but his passing range was also important. Key role in the opener. 8.
SHAUN WRIGHT-PHILLIPS - Struggled to get crosses over on the left flank, but grabbed a goal with a low drive. 7.
PETER CROUCH - Caused Belarus problems with his height and bundled in the opener and the third. 8.
GABRIEL AGBONLAHOR - Set up the opener and had a decent chance himself, but would have wanted more from his chance to shine. 6.
SUBSTITUTES
DAVID BECKHAM - Set up the second goal with his first touch and also hit the post. 7.
CARLTON COLE - Crouch followed up his shot for the third goal. 6.
JAMES MILNER - Plenty of hard work from the Aston Villa youngster, who filled in at left-back and struck the woodwork after racing through. 7.
