LONDON, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Three goals in the last 14 minutes guided England to a 5-1 rout of Kazakhstan in their World Cup qualifier at Wembley on Saturday, with the visitors battling for more than an hour before caving in.

Group Six leaders England gained their third successive win after goals from stand-in captain Rio Ferdinand (52 minutes), an own goal by Alexandr Kuchma (62), two from Wayne Rooney (76 and 86) and a last-minute strike by substitute Jermain Defoe.

Kazakhstan have now lost three games in a row following last month's defeats by Croatia and Ukraine.

A bad mistake by defender Ashley Cole, who was booed by England's fans for the rest of the match, set up Zhambyl Kukeyev for the Kazakh goal after 68 minutes.

In contrast, David Beckham received a huge cheer when he replaced Theo Walcott late in the game to make his 106th appearance, equalling Bobby Charlton as England's third most-capped player.

Only Bobby Moore (108 caps) and Peter Shilton (125) have made more appearances.

Although England dominated most of the game Kazakhstan, 131st in the world rankings, played well and were far from disgraced.
