Euro 2012 qualifiers: England v Montenegro

We're back at Wembley for another Euro 2012 qualifier with Fabio Capello keen to keep his team's 100% qualification record going Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: Tom Jenkins Despite losing the captaincy, Steven Gerrard looks as determined as ever as he warms up Photograph: Tom Jenkins England receive a good bit of news when it's announced that Mirko Vucinic, Montenegro's best player, is not even on the bench. The reason given is that he has a hamstring injury Photograph: Tom Jenkins Wonder where he bought his strides from? Photograph: Tom Jenkins The Montenegro fans make themselves heard before kick-off, or they're applauding that England's fan's fashion sense Photograph: Tom Jenkins The referee looks surprised to meet Fabio Capello Photograph: Tom Jenkins Just two minutes in, England get their first chance – courtesy of a magnificant defence-splitting ball from Steven Gerrard. He sprays the ball from the right-hand side of midfield, just inside his own half, towards the penalty spot. The ball bounces in the area and Crouch sticks out a leg but unfortunately it's just not long enough to get a touch which would have deflected the ball past Mladen Bozovic Photograph: Tom Jenkins England's captains past and present combine to snuff out a Montenegro threat Photograph: Tom Jenkins Adam Johnson hurdles over Jovanovic as he makes another marauding run down the right Photograph: Tom Jenkins After a bright start, England seem to run out of ideas and yet another England attack comes to nothing after Ashley Cole miscontrols in the box and the ball runs out of play Photograph: Tom Jenkins Crouch uses his height to his advantage and beats Miodrag Dzudovic to a header but can't get it on target Photograph: Tom Jenkins Just before the hour mark Rooney is put through by another excellent defence-splitting ball by Gerrard. Mladen Bozovic saves well from Wayne Rooney and then bravely dives at the feet of Gareth Barry to grab the ball before the England midfielder can pounce Photograph: Tom Jenkins Ashley Young goes on a run into the area. As he cuts inside Dzudovic comes across and the England winger takes an extravagant tumble over his leg. The whistle goes but not for a penalty, as the referee books Young for diving Photograph: Tom Jenkins Midway through the second half, Capello decides that he needs to bring some fresh impetous to the England attack which is looking more lacklustre as the game goes on. So he brings on Kevin Davies to provide a bit of a physical presence Photograph: Tom Jenkins Milorad Pekovic and Steven Gerrard battle for the ball Photograph: Tom Jenkins In the 77th minute the visitors get a big let-off when the linesman misses a hand-ball by Milan Jovanovic in the area. Fabio Capello lets the player know what he thinks of the decision Photograph: Tom Jenkins Gareth Barry and Fatos Beciraj challenge Photograph: Tom Jenkins Wayne Rooney seems to be analysing another disappointing performance Photograph: Tom Jenkins Photograph: Tom Jenkins With just six minutes remaining, there's an lucky escape for the home side as Milan Jovanovic hits the bar Photograph: Tom Jenkins Davies, the Bolton and (now) England striker, shows a bit too much of his physical presence in a challenge with Dzudovic and is booked Photograph: Tom Jenkins Shaun Wright-Phillips is fouled by Stefan Savic Photograph: Tom Jenkins ...then takes a couple of seconds to collect himself Photograph: Tom Jenkins Steven Gerrard whips in the free-kick but Kevin Davies is denied by some brave goalkeeping by Bozovic Photograph: Tom Jenkins Despite a couple of half-chances late in the game, it's another frustrating night for Rooney Photograph: Tom Jenkins The Montenegrins on the other hand are celebrating as a 0-0 draw means they stay on top of the group, are still unbeaten and are yet to concede a goal in this campaign Photograph: Tom Jenkins
