Japan have been defeated 2-1 by England in a World Cup warm-up because of two own goals.

The Blue Samurai worried Fabio Capello's Three Lions and had them on the ropes when Marcus Tulio Tanaka scored in the 7th minute but after Frank Lampard's penalty miss in the 55th minute, England managed to claw their way back into the match thanks to own goals from Tanaka and Yuji Nakazawa.

England: 2 (Marcus Tulio Tanaka (og) 72', Yuji Nakazawa (og) 83') Japan: 1 (Marcus Tulio Tanaka 7') Venue: UPC-Arena - Graz, Austria Crowd: 15,326
