Rooney revels with England

Wayne Rooney believes England are progressing under Fabio Capello following Saturday's 4-0
victory over Slovakia.

The Manchester United forward scored a double, while Emile Heskey and Frank Lampard also netted at Wembley.

Rooney's brace took his tally to seven in the last four international appearances, and he is revelling in his role for England.

"I am enjoying it," he said. "The team is progressing really well. Hopefully we can keep winning and I keep scoring.

"Steve [Gerrard] and me changed positions a lot and it seemed to work.

"I am getting on the ball and getting in space. We played quite well together.
