    Q3: South Africa 22-33 England

    Chelsea Pitman hugs the D-line and drifts a pass to Serena Guthrie, who is then lucky to get the ball in to the hooters.

    South Africa sink their second of the half. Better.

    HT: South Africa 20-31 England

    England were out doing drills very early at the break.

    Norma Plummer clearly had plenty more to say to her Southn Africa players.

    Can the netball legend inspire her team to an almighty turnaround here?

    Ama Agbeze
    Former England captain on BBC Two

    Jo is playing like a ninja. South Africa just don't know how to handle her. We have talked about the H2 partnership and both of them are really difficult to handle. The way they both move and pull around the circle, it opens up space and makes it hard to defend.

  7. Malawi into 5th/6th play-off with winpublished at 20:42 British Summer Time 18 July 2019

    Malawi came out on top in the all-African derby earlier today.

    The Queens beat Zimbabwe 59-43 on court to secure them a play-off place tomorrow.

    They will now play at 15:00 BST and will take on Jamaica who beat Uganda 61-48.

    Malawi will be in action tomorrow at 17:15 BST against the She-Cranes.

  8. Diamonds edge Ferns in thrillerpublished at 20:40 British Summer Time 18 July 2019

    Earlier today, Australia beat New Zealand by a single goal after the Silver Ferns stormed back from eight goals down in the first quarter.

    It was a game for the defences, with veteran Kiwi defender Casey Kopua and Courtney Bruce playing at goal keeper at the other end producing intercept after intercept.

    Silver Fern Maria Folau had the chance to level the scores with a second on the clock, but her shot agonisingly rolled around the rim and bounced away, handing Australia a 50-49 victory.

    The result means New Zealand plays the winner of England v South Africa (20:00 BST)

    Incidentally, even if Folau's shot had dropped, New Zealand would still have finished second in the group, on goal percentage.

  9. Scotland left to battle for 11th spotpublished at 20:39 British Summer Time 18 July 2019

    Scotland will have to play for an 11th place finish after a tight 43-43 draw with Trinidad & Tobago.

    The Thistles had originally targeted a top-eight finish but Gail Parata's side could not find the extra points despite leading a number of times in the game.

    Lynsey Gallagher's penalty shot on the buzzer was enough to salvage a draw for the side.

    Scotland now face Barbabos on Saturday (09:00 BST) in the 11th-place play-off.

    HT: South Africa 20-31 England

    Warrior Serena Guthrie grimaced as she took a heavy fall as the break approached.

    She got up, shook off her afrobob and carried on for the final moments of the half.

    It was intrinsic to how England attacked that half of netball.

    Sara Bayman has just said this is the best England have played in a very long time.

    Hard to argue with that. Jo Harten the cataylst

    Clock ticking down as Maryka Holtzhausen, who has missed her last four, offloads to Lenize Potgieter under the post.

    Erin Burger is given a caution for persistent contact.

    Pure frustration.

    Q2: South Africa 18-30 England

    WD Shadine Van Der Merwe dives like Tom Daley to keep the ball in play, but her sterling work is ruined by a sloppy pass at the other end.

    She only made her Proteas debut in 2018 but is playing like a veteran here in Liverpool.

    Eboni Usuro-Brown comes up with the goods to get Jade Clarke and Serena Guthrie out of penalty jail, after they had been called for contact and held ball respectively.

    The GD's pass opens up South Africa's centre court and England score.

    Four minutes to play in this half.

    Jo Harten puffs out her cheeks as she brings in a pin-point rocket pass from Serena Guthrie, before glancing up and popping another goal through the net.

    South Africa still plugging away at the other end.

    Izette Griesel is caught offisde and the Roses punish her error.

    Oh hello Jade Clarke, England's most-capped player of all time.

    The Mancunian comes up with an incredible intercept to steal possession away from the Proteas.
