Two missed shots by Gretel Tippett for Australia. Can England capitalise?

Yes they can! Kadeen Corbin takes a breath and sinks a cool goal for England. 

And now the Roses defence snatch the ball from Diamond hands in the circle and a patient build-up sees Corbin add another. England within three.

Australia surpass the 30-goal mark but England are working hard around the circle to make their chances count. 

The Diamonds defence stand tall, so Helen Housby and Kadeen Corbin are made to duck and dive to get a chance on goal.

You don’t get many chances against Australia so you need to capitalise on them. The shooting seems to a deciding factor – the fact that we’ve got opportunities is amazing but we need to put them away now.

Kadeen Corbin gets the first goal of the second half with an effort from range, before former basketballer Gretel Tippett adds to Australia's score.

Soon enough Tippett gets three more quick goals and England fall further behind. Not the start the Roses would have wanted. 

The players are back out on court. 

Australia are the first team to make a change with Gretel Tippett coming on at GA in place of Susan Pettitt. 

So England took that quarter by one goal, which will give them a massive confidence boost going into the second half. 

Remember they were 11 goals behind at the same stage against New Zealand on Thursday.

Fantastic start to second quarter – a much more patient build-up, there was a bit of a wobble at the start with the shooting but they’ve got to draw confidence from that – a fantastic quarter.

I don't know about you, but I thought that was thoroughly enjoyable. 

Australia take a three-goal lead into the second half.

Kim Ravallion, playing at centre for Australia, is cautioned and she concedes the turnover. The look she gave the umpire was nothing less than filthy. 

But England can't make the advantage count as they lose possession.

Susan Pettite holds her nerve and sinks an Australia goal and they extend their lead back to three.

But a lovely one-two from Chelsea Pitman and Kadeen Corbin earn England another point. 

Another fantastic attack from the hosts sees Helen Housby add one more, but Australia hit back immediately. 

This is breathless stuff. 

Just as England get ahead for the first time in the match, Australia snatch the turnover and score from their own centre to regain the lead.

This is a turn around from the New Zealand game – there’s some fire in the bellies!

Big cheers from the crowd as Kadeen Corbin lands a goal from distance. England needed to get their shooting percentage up in this quarter and it looks like they're growing in confidence.

A fantastic feed from Chelsea Pitman sees Helen Housby bring England to within one, and Corbin adds another to draw them level!

Always good to turn over an Australian centre pass!

We're back under way in the second quarter.

Kadeen Corbin has two chances at goal but both go amiss, and centre Jade Clarke is called up for contact, so possession is with Australia.

But Susan Pettite, the Diamonds GA, also misses under the net after  pressure from Geva Mentor...and England go up the other end and score through Helen Housby!

An important turnover for the hosts.

Four goals are nothing. The positives are there; they came out of the blocks, Australia got in front and they reeled them back in.
