    Risky bounce poss somehow finds its way to Gretel Tippet, she swivels and scores.

    England take their time to work the ball to the shooters but Jo Harten gets frustrated and her pass is beyond Rachel Dunn.

    Geva Mentor gets a tip at the other end but Steph Wood sinks her first shot.

    HT: England 27-24 Australia

    England won that quarter 18-10.

    Switching Jo Harten to goal attack and bringing on Rachel Dunn at shooter has done the trick.

    Tactical genius from Tracey Neville?

    England captain Serena Guthrie speaking to Sky Sports: Rachel Dunn has been great for us and we need to keep her doing that. We weren't ourselves yesterday and we want to perform today like we can, regardless of the result.

    Australia captain Caitlin Thwaites speaking to Sky Sports: It swung around in the second half and we were not adapting to the umpires' call in our defence end and what Rachel Dunn was doing for England.

    England captain Serena Guthrie goes over to the umpires after her HT interview and she’s having a long debate.

    Players can only ask questions remember, but England can’t have too much to complain about after that second quarter.

    Nat Haythornthwiate holding her own on the edge of the shooting D, and that's what you want from a wing attack.

    That's half-time and England take a lead into the break.

    A reminder: England need to win by five to win the Quad Series.

    Q2: England 27-23 Australia

    Jo Harten nets another and she seems to have fitted in just fine at goal attack.

    Liz Watson called for contact and England get another, opening up a three goal lead.

    Helen Housby on the sidelines liked that one.

    Oosh, the crowd don't like that contact call against Geva Mentor.

    Australia score to keep the pressure on England.

    Q2: England 23-22 Australia

    Just over two minutes to play until half time.

    Can England keep this lead?

    Rachel Dunn seems to think so, as she scores another. She's what you;d call a goal hanger in football, but she does so well at getting under the post to give herself the best chance to score.

    Australia still plugging away but less fluid in attack now.

    I feel like the Australians play better when they are up. They have been so dominant in recent years that they are not used to having an opponent nipping at their heels and then starting to set a pace of their own.

    Q2: England 21-19 Australia

    Geva Mentor AGAIN drifts in and gets the steal like a lion pouncing on its prey.

    Rachel Dunn rewards her keeper's efforts with a lovely shot.

    England take the lead for the first time in the quarter.

    England have kept patient and worked their way back into the game, goal by goal.

    Q2: England 19-19 Australia

    Nat Haythornthwaite drifts and absolute beauty over the shooting circle to Rachel Dunn.

    At the other end.....Geva Mentor reads that pass like a book and brings the ball safely in to her chest.

    The Roses consolidate and they haven't panicked.

    We're level again!

    Rachel Dunn has come on and made an instant impact for England. She’s created a focal point in that shooting circle and England suddenly have some energy. The crowd seems to have found their voice too.

  18. Postpublished at 18:25 Greenwich Mean Time 20 January 2019

    Q2: England 14-18 Australia

    Rachel Dunn bamboozles her marker and scores another.

    England get another turnover....Geva Mentor uses the full three seconds to roll the ball to Serena Guthrie, who somehow finds a stretching Rachel Dunn.

    Dunn is so up for this

    Q2: England 10-16 Australia

    Australia coach Lisa Alexander speaking to Sky Sports: Things can change very rapidly in netball. Gretel Tippet knows she has a role to play for the team. It is going to be a fabulous finish to this match. I can't wait.

    Q2: England 10-16 Australia

    Eboni Usuro-Brown and Geva Mentor trade leaps but they can't prevent a Gretel Trippet goal.

    But they keep their own score ticking over at the other end as Rachel Dunn sinks another.

    She loves playing at the Copper Box, does the 36-year-old.
