Nevertheless, Tracey Neville is giving them a few more ideas for what to do in the final quarter.

This will be the last time the England coach does that before she takes a break from the side.

Jo Harten and Helen Housby are combining SO well.

England's bronze medal chances are looking very promising with 15 minutes left to play.

Jo Harten falls to the floor and the sweat is wiped up before Helen Housby gets a penalty.

The GS lands her shot and South Africa just have time to take their penalty before the whistle.

Maryka Holtzhausen scores one and England now have 30 seconds to get a goal off their centre.

Lenize Potgieter misses, Geva Mentor tips the ball and Jade Clarke grabs it.

Jo Harten scores. This is a very comfortable lead for England as the third quarter nears its end.

The crowd boos as Geva Mentor gets called up for "interference with the goal posts". It's not an easy rule to explain to thousands of fans.

The GK hit the post with her arm as she was trying to defend a shot.

Now it's Nat Haythornthwaite's chance to take a slide across the floor.

Things are getting physical; out there. England compose themselves and Helen Housby finds the net.

Jade Clarke jumps up for an intercept, but is pushed to the floor. England are given a free pass and get the ball to Jo Harten.

The GA misses and Phumza Maweni grabs the rebound. Turnover opportunity lost.

South Africa are keeping their centre but the Proteas are struggling for intercepts.

Especially with Helen Housby and Jo Harten combining as well as they are. Harten drives into the D to pick up Housby's pass and score (again).

Sports played in arenas are fun. The "oohs" and "aahs" of the crowd are made so much more dramatic.

And the scream that follows Jo Harten's goal is even more spine-tingling.

Helen Housby has to come out of the circle to get the ball. South Africa's defence are still working hard.

But Jo Harten gets the ball under the net and scores.

Ten goals is a pretty comfortable lead for England with 10 minutes left in the third quarter.

And the Roses are helped by a missed goal by South Africa and some heroic rebound-gathering by Geva Mentor.

Shadine van der Merwe tries to pass the ball to her shooters but it first straight into a Serena Guthrie/Jade Clarke wall. You shall not pass.

England are called up for a held ball in their half, though, and South Africa come away with a goal.

Jo Harten misses her second shot of the match and the Proteas get the ball back... until Eboni Usoro-Brown gets hold of it again. Goal Helen Housby. Phew.

Maryka Holtzhausen puts her head in her hands after she misses a goal and Geva Mentor grabs the rebound.

Helen Housby bends backwards as she tries to catch the ball. She says "ooo" as she realises she might not be able to keep hold of it, but quickly passes to Nat Haythornthwaite to keep it safe. Top teamwork.

Lenize Potgieter takes the ball of the back of the court and England get the turnover.

Jo Harten gets a penalty, but gives the ball to 100% Helen Housby (why wouldn't you?) who maintains her perfect record.

Erin Burger gets her fingertips to the ball at the top of the D, but that doesn't stop England scoring.

South Africa have made a change at WD. Shadine van der Merwe is on for Khanyisa Chawane.

If England keep doing what they doing, they should get their hands on a Netball World Cup bronze medal.

They have first centre.

Shania Twain's 'Man! I Feel Like a Woman' has been played in the arena probably every single day of this World Cup.

Today is no different and the crowd are getting involved. There are plenty of people up and dancing. World Cups that involve Shania Twain are the best kind of World Cups.

The H2 formula [Housby and Harten] has been working so well. They're easing themselves into the game and they're opening up the space in the circle.
