The England Women's side secured a place in the World Cup qualifying play-offs with a comfortable win over Turkey on Thursday night.

Rachel Yankey put Hope Powell's side ahead after 22 minutes, marking her 100th senior cap in style by getting onto the end of Alex Scott's through ball and knocking the ball past Duygo Yilmaz.

England doubled their advantage on the hour mark through Ellen White and Jess Clarke added the third after 76 minutes.

The win was enough to guarantee a top place finish in Group Five for England ahead of their final qualifier in Austria next month.
