Australia's Lucas Plapp goes for it!

He's joined by two other riders, with England's Sam Watson joining the attack. Can they get clear?

One minute gone and Australia already have a shot on the break, with Mariah Williams striking across the face of goal.

Nervy start from the hosts.

And England are into the final. They've taken the deciding set 11-6. They will go for gold on Monday, while the best Scotland can now get is bronze.

There is a LOT of red and white in the massive 5,000-seater stand opposite me on the other side of the pitch.

There is a fair bit of Aussie support too. Lots of yellow and green wigs and yep, that's an inflatable kangaroo.

A superb atmosphere building here.

Australia push back.

There's not an empty seat to be seen.

It is all square in the men's double's table tennis final!

England's Paul Drinkhall and Liam Pitchford have taken the second game 11-8 against India's Sharath Achanta and Sathiyan Gnanasekaran to make it 1-1 in the best of five contest.

They've done it. England's Ben Lane and Sean Vendy book their spot in Sunday's gold medal match after defeating Malaysia's Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik 18-21, 21-17, 21-4.

They will be guaranteed at least a silver medal when they play in the final on Sunday against India's SatwikSairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty.

There is a lot of looking round now. I think it [attacking] might start sooner rather than later. Just got that sense of everybody starting to pay attention, there is a tension starting to come back into the group. Their thoughts are coming back to: "How can we win this race?" Less than 50km to go now - just over one hour remaining.

Two minutes until push back.

You have just enough time to rewatch England's thrilling semi-final win.

Scenes of jubilation from New Zealand. They missed out on a medal four years ago on the Gold Coast and saw it as a disaster, this is a huge achievement for them.

For England, it's huge disappointment as they couldn't deliver a medal on home soil. They look, understandably, heartbroken.

Maddie Hinch saved every one of New Zealand's penalty shootouts in the semi-final.

This is becoming a bit of a habit for Hinch. She saved all of the Netherlands' shootout efforts in the 2016 Olympic final too.

I'm pretty sure England hockey's pre-match meal probably wasn't pizza. But, if it was, I can absolutely guarantee there would be no pineapple and ham.

We put England's stars to the test.

Well, that is that.

A lovely touch at the end as Eboni Usoro-Brown comes on for the final 30 seconds to make her last appearance in a Roses dress. She will retire after today. That is also the final game Stacey Francis-Bayman will play.

The Roses look absolutely gutted but they just couldn't bounce back from yesterday and New Zealand were the better side on the day.

Oh wow, 'anything you can do we can do better' is the message from New Zealand's defenders. They win the turnover in the defensive third and they are just simply holding onto the ball and keeping their cool.

The clock is not on the Roses' side, it's too late.

Dylan Eagleson is next up for NI against heavy-handed Ghanaian Abraham Mensah, who takes the first round on a 4-1 split.

Eagleson has proved himself to be an elusive, back-foot presence with the ability to get under the skin of his opponent in these Games, but in that first round could not avoid Mensah's big right hands with any regularity.

He has it all to do here.

I didn't think this would happen for a while. I thought the attacking wouldn't happen for a little bit longer. The lead group perhaps sensing the chasers are getting closer. That certainly has people concentrated now.

Signs that the attacks are beginning in the lead group with 50km to go.

The medals will almost certainly now be decided among this front group of 15.

Now then, Geva Mentor flies in for the interception and, as they have struggled to do all game so far, England take it to goal and reward under the post.

There are less than four minutes to go - is it still on?

We currently have netball, badminton and boxing in action at the NEC in Birmingham.

Those who have competed have spoken about being roared on by the crowd.

Team England have certainly been impressed by the atmosphere generated by the spectators.

And just as my colleague Becky says that, the crowd have just lifted the noise a couple of decibels at the NEC.

England have seven and a bit minutes to claw it back, and they trail by seven goals. Is it still on?
