    Well, that was quite the spectacle. 

    Thanks so much for joining us for the Quad Series finale.

    The crown goes to the Australians once again, but you get the feeling England are getting that bit closer to snatching it.

    Until next time...

  3. Mentor named MVPpublished at 14:42 Greenwich Mean Time 5 February 2017

    England 46-47 Australia

    England GK Geva Mentor, who is named MVP at Wembley, on BBC Two: "All credit goes to the girls. I need the girls out there in front of me to make it easier. My job at the back is to be the anchor. 

    "We were a bit slow off the mark but we knew we had to get ball. We're knackered but we were ready for extra time but it wasn't to be.

    "We turned it around from the lousy performance in the week. The Wembley crowd got us over the line. I'm so proud of the team."

    England 46-47 Australia

    England netball coach Tracey Neville on BBC Two: I'm so proud of them. I said they had to back each other on court.

    "There were some of the critical moments where we could have got ahead but we have to look at positives. They fought from the start to the end. We made them make changes and you have to challenge the coaches as well as the players."

    Tracey Neville will be delighted. Fantastic performance by an England team who gave us a performance against South Africa that wasn’t up to standard and lost to the Kiwis.

    England have taken Australia as close as they’ve run them for many a year.

    England 46-47 Australia

    And breath. That was amazing!

    England needed only one goal to take it to extra time but Australia captain Sharni Layton flies in with the all-important interception as the whistle goes.

    Australia are cautioned and England have possession. They have 10 seconds to find two goals!

  10. Postpublished at 14:30 Greenwich Mean Time 5 February 2017

    England 45-47 Australia

    We're into the last minute. Australia are working the ball around court and are running the clock down...

    England 44-45 Australia

    Kadeen Corbin is forced off with an eye injury and replaced by Natalie Haythornthwaite. 

    And Geva Mentor gets a brilliant interception in the Aussie circle, which is fed down to the Roses attack. Housby lands it!

    Two minutes to go and only one goal in it!

    England 41-44 Australia

    Super shooter Helen Housby turns defender as she intercepts the ball mid-court! Where did she fly in from?!

    Kadeen Corbin and Housby are getting plenty of opportunities under the net but aren't putting them away first time, which could be costly against a team like Australia.

    Three goals in it. Six minutes left. 

  13. Postpublished at 14:20 Greenwich Mean Time 5 February 2017

    England 38-40 Australia

    There's a brilliant tete-a-tete going on between England centre Jade Clarke and her opposite number Kim Ravaillion - who square up to each other on the sidelines. 

    Meanwhile, Geva Mentor is told to keep it down by the umpire as she grapples with the Australia attack.

    What a battle this is. 

  14. Postpublished at 14:17 Greenwich Mean Time 5 February 2017

    England 36-39 Australia

    Australia claw their way back in front straight away, with Gretel Tippett and Susan Pettitt combining well at GS and GA.

    England haven't been able to score in three centre passes...

    England went into this quarter down, they have kept that patience and skill level and made those moments count.

    Huge, huge roars from the Wembley crowd as England turnover Australia's centre and move to within one point of the world number ones.

    And now Helen Housby brings them level again!
