WAYNE ROONEY is ready to crush Ukraine after his double saw off Slovakia.
The Manchester United striker netted two late goals as England cruised home in this warm-up ahead of Wednesday's World Cup qualifier.
And Rooney cannot wait to tuck into England's next opponents in Group 6 as he scored for the fourth consecutive game for his country.
The last man to do that was Gary Lineker in 1986. But Rooney is already nearly halfway to matching Lineker's haul of 48 international goals.
His chipped second at Wembley made it 21 from just 49 matches. And he is still just 23 years old.
Rooney will pick up his 50th cap on Wednesday. But David Beckham could make it 110 against Ukraine as he passed Bobby Moore's mark of 108 to set a new record for an outfield player.
Ahead of this match, all the talk was of Rooney keeping a lid on his explosive temper.
But he was all smiles on the pitch as England played Slovakia off the park.
Rooney said: "I'm delighted I'm scoring goals for England.
"The team is working really hard in training and the set-up seems to suit me very well.
"We played very well today. The first half hour was excellent and we should have scored a few more goals.
"It's a good build-up for us and was a well-deserved win."
Rooney felt his link-up play with Steven Gerrard caused Slovakia problems.
He added: "Steve 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.
"That is one thing the manager wanted from us today, to put the work we have done in training and put it on the pitch. At times, I think we did that."
Emile Heskey kickstarted the rout with a seventh-minute poacher's effort - his first England goal for SIX years.
Rooney headed home a Beckham cross on 70 minutes.
Frank Lampard stroked home England's 500th goal at Wembley to make it 3-0 eight minutes from time.
And Rooney crowned a sensational evening with a cute dink in injury-time.
Coach Fabio Capello's mood was only darkened by a possible striker crisis.
Heskey and his replacement Carlton Cole both went off injured in the first half.
And Peter Crouch, who came on for Cole, followed them to the treatment room late on.
Capello set up with Gerrard on the left. But the Liverpool star roamed freely and combined superbly with Rooney on several occasions, including the opener.
Aaron Lennon had already teased the Slovak backline and Rooney driven goalwards when England's early supremacy was rewarded.
Rooney's clever reverse ball was instantly flicked on by Gerrard to beat his man. And his low cross was turned home by Heskey at the near post.
But the Villa striker missed an easier chance two minutes later when he headed over Rooney's cross from four yards after Lampard had started the move.
Lennon again found acres of space behind the visitors' backline on 10 minutes but this time his pull-back failed to pick out another white shirt.
England's new strip resembled a smart polo shirt and the Three Lions' play was certainly leisurely as they tore apart their opponents at will.
Heskey had injured his hamstring in the process of scoring and he was subbed on 15 minutes for Cole.
Lennon forged forward and another low centre eventually found Lampard, whose first-time shot was palmed away by Slovakian keeper Stefan Senecky.
Slovakia finally made some headway and David James had to be alert to divert Miroslav Karhan's solid sidefooter from 20 yards.
Cole shot feebly at goal as England broke with pace again. But the West Ham striker had to follow Heskey off with a groin strain after just 21 minutes on the pitch, Crouch the sub for the sub.
Lampard slid in to win a tackle and put Lennon away. The Spurs man looked in two minds as he bore down on goal and Senecky stood up to his cross-shot before clambering Gerrard's follow-up header behind.
James could have been forgiven for losing his concentration as England attacked at will. But he remained alert to tip over Robert Vittek's angled drive after Matthew Upson was caught napping.
But England quickly switched play to the other end as Glen Johnson found Lennon in the box. He squared for Gerrard but the Liverpool star's shot was just within Senecky's grasp.
Beckham came on for his record-breaking 109th England appearance at the break, beating the mark set by Bobby Moore for an outfield player.
Ben Foster replaced James and Stewart Downing took over from Gerrard down the left.
Rooney flashed a 25-yard drive well wide while Erik JendriĊĦek found the side-netting at the other end.
Crouch thought he had scored just after the hour when his header from Becks' free-kick beat Senecky. But with the ball destined for the back of the net, Terry slid in to poke home - from an offside position.
Terry pulled a shot wide but Beckham stood up a smart cross for Rooney to direct a header into the top corner.
Crouch made way after colliding with Martin Skrtel and Lampard's shot on the turn made it three on 82 minutes.
But Rooney deservedly grabbed the limelight with a chipped effort in injury-time.
