Q3: England 34-43 Australia
Right then here we go.
I know lots of you will have been screaming at the telly for Chelsea Pitman and here she is. Nat Metcalf makes way.
Can Pitman have the impact she had on Thursday?

The re-introduction of Mentor has given the Diamonds something to think about in terms of how they try to make their way into the circle.
Q3: England 32-41 Australia
Nat Metcalf is pulled for held ball.

It just needs to be a grind.
Sometimes you go a few goals down, but you can bring them back.
Who is going to step up now and win the ball back defensively?
In attack, let's stop making those errors.

The Diamond’s lead is worrying but the Roses have to believe they can regroup and power back into the game.

Come on the English roses!!

Q3: England 31-39 Australia
Laura Malcolm is coming on at centre in place of Jade Clarke.
Eleanor Cardwell that is ridiculous. She nails the shot on one foot, off balance and falling out of court. Can that give England a bit of a confidence boost?
Q3: England 30-37 Australia
And just like that Australia extend their lead again.
This has been tough for the Roses. Just less than six minutes remain.
Beth Cobden
Former England player on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
It's good to get Geva on just to get that experience. That is a good decision made by Jess Thirlby, not letting Australia run away with the lead.
BBC Sport
England head coach Jess Thirlby has been speaking on BBC TV.
On defensive changes:
"We think we've just got so much talent in that end so we need to give them something else to think about.
"They have brought on Garbin for the first time, so we felt that if we brought on Funmi and let her play with freedom and space she could interfere with their plan for that."
On rewarding turnovers:
"We need to be a little bit calmer on the through court, play short and then get our vision nice and open on that far side on the through court."
On what success would look like at the end of the quarter:
"We've got to close the gap. We're never going to come back from a big margin against a quality side like this. We've got to find some ball and attackers have to stand up."
Q3: England 29-34 Australia
There's the moment, a contact call goes England's way and they close the gap to three with back-to-back goals.
The Roses need to take advantage of that.
Beth Cobden
Former England player on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
This team has been making history - and they're good at that.
They've got everything they need. They just need to keep calm and play to their game-plan.
Q3: England 27-34 Australia
Funmi Fadoju makes way for Geva Mentor after playing just five minutes.
England just bringing that experience back on court as things get a bit frenetic.
Q3: England 26-34 Australia
Jo Weston makes way for Sarah Klau and it's an immediate impact from the defender as she gets a tip and Courtney Bruce snatches the ball away.
The Australia bench are on their feet, they like this. They can sense a shift.
Q3: England 26-31 Australia
England head coach Jess Thirlby suggesting that her side need to close that gap because you can't afford to give a quality side like Australia a sniff.
Bit of miscommunication from the Roses, though, and they take advantage. A confident Diamonds side is a very dangerous one.
BBC Sport
Former England head coach Tracey Neville speaking to BBC TV: "England need to dig deep now, I think the second quarter has caught them in two games. But what they are doing really well is moving the ball around.
"Australia are keeping them ball side at the moment, and stopping that down the line option. Shorter passes and connections are working well for them.
"The Diamonds came out and tried to body up and succeeded in winning a lot of ball by doing that, they just need to clean it up a bit.
"England need to work better at connecting and getting the ball down to Cardwell in the circle."
Q3: England 25-28 Australia
England have made some changes in defence. Geva Mentor is off for Funmi Fadoju. Layla Guscoth is back on at goal defence for Fran Williams while Imogen Allison is at wing defence.
Q3: England 23-27 Australia
Away we go for the third quarter. Some changes to report...
HT: England 23-27 Australia
The experts on telly are suggesting Jess Thirlby injects Chelsea Pitman into this Roses attack?
What do we think folks? Hit the thumbs.
BBC Sport
England defender Fran Williams speaking to BBC TV: "We are going to have to dig deep [to maintain the energy]. It has been an intense one-on-one battle out there, but I know we have an extra gear to go if not more."
BBC Sport
Australia attacker Kiera Austin speaking to BBC TV: "It has been a really intense battle, a lot of physicality.
"We need a constant drive to take the two off - Soph [Garbin] and hopefully I can provide that."
