Pitman just fired in a rocket pass that defied everyone in the circle but England come away with the ball and Housby scores.

Guscoth pounces on a stray ball in the centre court and the Roses score fro it to tie things up!

There's a little bit of afters between Corbin and Bruce as they fight over the ball after the former had scored

The Diamonds have really grown into the game, each pass much more ruthless and assured in this quarter than compared to the opening period.

Watson and Ravaillion combine on the edge of the shooting circle to work the ball to Bassett. Lovely stuff form Australia now.

But England are not going anywhere, keeping the score within three.

Those changes for England seem to have disrupted their flow a little.

Housby gets another couple for her personal tally to keep England in touch.

And just like that, the momentum has shifted to the Diamonds' favour as they lead by three.

They have out-scored England 9-3 in this quarter so far.

Serena Guthrie's speed through court is ridiculous.

Haythornthwaite has come off, Housby has moved to goal attack and Kadeen Corbin enters the game at shooter.

Australia lead in the game for the first time with a brilliant attacking move, finished off by Bassett.

England are getting so much success in defence so far in this game.

It feels like Guscoth or Mentor will tip pretty much every pass.

But Australia are working hard to find a way through and they have closed the gap to two.

Well, that was intense. Second quarter is under way and Bruce has an early tip from a high England ball but Guthrie wins the ball back in the centre court.

That 11 goals in the first quarter for Australia was their lowest against England since 2014

That's the end of the opening period and England are looking composed and strong.

As the buzzer approached, Steph Wood missed under the post and England whipped the ball down court.

But the Roses played too many passes around the shooting circle and lose possession to a leaping Bruce, who sprayed the ball to Ravaillion, who found Bassett to slot the ball home.

England are defending in numbers with Serena Guthrie and Jade Clarke the first line of defence, while Mentor and Guthrie protect the circle.

The Diamonds are starting to get frustrated, with Bruce struggling to find space and forced back onto the backline.

Caitlin Bassett misses a sitter but England can't take advantage.

The Roses then waste their centre pass with mis-communication between Guthrie and Pitman.

Bassett chooses to spray a pass across court instead of taking the shot and it doesn't pay off, England punish her at the other end.

Six from six for Helen Housby.

Serena Guthrie is in the thick of things, hustling in the centre court and racing for any loose balls.

Layla Guscoth is showing no signs of international rustiness and looks assured so far at goal defence.

Kim Ravaillion is pulled up for contact but the Aussies win possession back after an error from Rose Chelsea Pitman.

GO! England with first centre pass. Australia keeper Courtney Bruce put instant pressure on Helen Housby but the shooter managed to get her shot away. The Diamonds went straight to goal at the other end to level.

The teams are out warming up.

England captain Ama Agbeze said: "We just want to try and blood new people and you don't know if the same team [from the Commonwealth Games] can last to the World Cup.

"The Diamonds always come out hard and they have got a score to settle."

Tracey Neville on lack coverage in the print media after England's win over New Zealand:

“It is quite disappointing. I thought that after the New Zealand result on Saturday, because that was our best ever win over New Zealand.”

“The one thing we recognise is the lack of media attention we have at home, particularly when we’re not on home soil. That is something we can hopefully start changing. We havew to keep winning.”

On the expectations on her team:

“The girls have high expectation of themselves, I have high expectation and we’ve got to now create the next stage of our history and the next stage of our journey. Hopefully the press will give us a bit of recognition.”

"This is the sort of world we live in and I appreciate that.”

Feeling nervous? Give this a watch to help calm yourself...

Tracey Neville spoke to BBC Sport ahead of the Quad Series to discuss England's progress since being crowned champions on the gold coast, and how much further they have to go.

She said: "It's a really important series for us and I'm under no illusion how tough it's going to be"

"The way netball is going, there's 1% margins and one-goal differences. We'll still stick to the same strategy we had before for what it takes to win."

What are the key match ups today? Serena Guthrie v Kim Ravaillon? Geva Mentor v Caitlin Bassett?

Will England miss Jo Harten?

So many questions. Get involved!

So, Layla Guscoth gets the nod from coach Tracey Neville and starts at goal defence.

And in a forced changed due to Jo Harten's absence, Nat Haythornthwaite comes in to the starting seven at goal attack, with Helen Housby switching to goal shooter.
