  1. Quarter Onepublished at 13:25 Greenwich Mean Time 5 February 2017

    England 9-13 Australia

    A promising start from England. 

    Their defence is looking unstoppable, with Geva Mentor impressing the most.

    England 7-9 Australia

    Ooh, it's getting feisty already. Australia GD April Brandley gets an official warning from the umpire for repeated infringements. 

    England are giving a good account of themselves so far. Five minutes left in this quarter.

    England 4-5 Australia

    England snatch possession as Australia are on the attack, but the Diamonds are so tight on defence, the Roses are struggling to get the ball into the area.

    Helen Housby sees one shot roll off the ring of the net...but her second attempt is good. 

    And now Kadeen Corbin sinks another! They're back to within a point of the world number ones.

    We've really got to eliminate the basic errors - any error they turn into a shooting opportunity.

    England 2-4 Australia

    It's a sloppy start for England - right from the first centre pass they lose possession and Caitlin Thwaites open the scoring for Australia.

    But huge cheers go up when Kadeen Corbin gets England's first points on the board.

    England v Australia

    Sharni Layton leads out Australia under the spotlights in a boxing-like introduction at Wembley. 

    And Ama Agbeze beams from ear to ear and she brings out England as captain.

    We'll belt out the national anthems before getting under way on court.

    England v Australia (13:00 GMT)

    Australia are pretty good at this netball malarkey. 

    The Diamonds are the reigning world and commonwealth champions, and have 14 major international titles to their name.

    The domestic league in Australia - which takes a new form called Super Netball in 2017 - is professional and the players are will be the highest paid sportswomen in the country.

    So far in the Quad series, they've beaten South Africa 62-46 and arch rivals New Zealand 57-50 and a win over England will see them retain their crown.

    England v Australia (13:00 GMT)

    World number three England have had mixed fortunes in the Quad series.

    Tracey Neville's side earned a dramatic victory over South Africa in their opener in Durban - needing extra time to prevail 60-55.

    But they were overawed by world number two New Zealand in Liverpool on Thursday, losing 61-37. 

    And the Roses have the toughest challenge ahead of them today in the shape of unbeaten Australia.

    New Zealand take a convincing win against England.
