Two substitutes scored in the second half to help England beat African champion Egypt 3-1 on Wednesday in a friendly ahead of the World Cup.

Mohamed Zidan put the visitors ahead in the 23rd minute following a mistake by defender Matthew Upson and England was jeered off at halftime.

Second-half substitute Peter Crouch made it 1-1 with a shot at the near post from Gareth Barry's right-wing cross.

Shaun Wright-Phillips scored from a rebound in the 74th and Crouch got his second goal from Wright-Phillips' cross five minutes later.
