    HT: England 29-22 South Africa

    No changes needed in attack for England. Helen Housby and Jo Harten are nailing their shots so far.

    Housby is at 100% accuracy and Harten is at 93%. Tasty.

    If it was me coaching, I would change the South Africa attack. I would bring on Sigrid Burger and give Lenize Potgieter the chance to sit down and have a look at the game, what the defence are doing, and then re-inject her into it.

    Smiles started to appear on the faces of England players as that first half progressed.

    They look sharp, clinical and most importantly, very much up for winning that bronze medal.

    South Africa are far from out of this, though, and their out-numbered fans are managing to make themselves heard.

    Have they got enough in the tank to overturn this seven-goal England lead?

    With the way this tournament has gone, I wouldn't bet against it.

    South Africa aren't scared of a comeback.

    They were down by eight goals against Australia on Saturday but managed to get back to within one. England have got to be careful.

    No!

    Lenize Potgieter goes for the shot and misses. A solid lead for England at half-time.

    Q2: England 29-22 South Africa

    That's enough time for Lenize Potgieter.

    It's South Africa's centre pass. Can they score in 10 seconds?

    Q2: England 29-21 South Africa

    Karla Pretorious says no to a nine-goal lead. The South Africa GD grabs and intercept and South Africa have 30 seconds to score.

    Q2: England 29-21 South Africa

    Someone should put together a compilation of Jo Harten's shots today. They are all just beautiful. She sinks another from mid-range and England have en eight-goal lead with a minute left in this half.

    Emma Gregory: Exhilarating, fast-paced, top quality netball for all to watch! Let's hope the sport can now kick on and get the credit it deserves.

    Q2: England 28-20 South Africa

    Jade Clarke gets her fingertips to the ball and Serena Guthrie scoops it up.

    Jo Harten scores from long range. A good turnover for England.

    Q2: England 27-20 South Africa

    Serena Guthrie goes up for an intercept and Erin Burger is sent flying across the floor. Unsurprisingly, the umpire calls contact.

    Maryka Holtzhausen scores, but Helen Housby puts one in straight after. Less than three minutes left in this quarter.

    Q2: England 25-19 South Africa

    Helen Housby cannot miss today. She refuses.

    Sadly Lenize Potgieter doesn't feel like missing much either. Goals at either end.

  13. Postpublished at 14:59 British Summer Time 21 July 2019

    Q2: England 24-18 South Africa

    After all that good work, Erin Burger makes a passing error. Serena Guthrie leaps onto it and England have the chance to rebuild their lead.

    Jo Harten goes to pass to Serena Guthrie, but finds her captain on the floor. The Roses regather themselves and Helen Housby slots another.

    Q2: England 23-18 South Africa

    Erin Burger spots that Lenize Potgieter is open and sends a long ball in to her GS. It works perfectly and South Africa stay in tough.

    Phumza Maweni then leaps onto a bad pass and the Proteas get the turnover. Another long ball to Potgieter, another goal.

    This is where South Africa need to clean it up a bit. England are finding it hard to get it into the circle but South Africa keep being pulled up for contact.

    Q2: England 22-16 South Africa

    Lenize Potgieter pushes Geva Mentor backwards and the crowd is enraged.

    It gives England a free pass, which Helen Housby makes into a goal.

    Q2: England 21-16 South Africa

    Now it's England's turn to have a bit of trouble getting it in the D.

    They stay patient, passing back a couple of times before Helen Housby eventually finds some space. She shoots, she scores. In fact, the GS is yet to miss.

  18. Postpublished at 14:54 British Summer Time 21 July 2019

    Q2: England 20-15 South Africa

    England are definitely in the groove now as Helen Housby sends a pop pass to Jo Harten and the GA scores to extend England's lead to five.

    The atmosphere is far more relaxed compared to this stage in the semi-final.

    And it is being reflected in England's on-court performance.

    South Africa's attack is being stifled and the crowd is loving it!

  20. Postpublished at 14:53 British Summer Time 21 July 2019

    Q2: England 18-15 South Africa

    That turnover might have just been thrown away - literally. Jo Harten's attempted pass to Helen Housby sails off the back of the court.

    South Africa captain Bongi Msomi gets in Eboni Usoro-Brown's way and ends up sliding across the floor. But the Proteas get the goal all the same.
