Reporting LIVE

Top spot

Oliver Bleddyn is the top qualifier of his heat in the men’s 40km points race and will join two other Aussies in the final.

He was never in doubt throughout the race and cruised through the final stages.

Having fun

The Aussies are starting to enjoy themselves on court again.

The Netball bronze medal is well within their sights and they have added some flair to their passing game.

Austin went awry but for the most part they have been far too good for England.

Score is Aus 52, Eng 39.

Repechages

WA cyclist Liliya Tatarinoff will need to try and get through a repechage to progress any further in the women’s Kierin after a tough heat.

The Australian men are doing well in the 40km points race qualifyer.

3QT: Australia 49 , England 36

The Australians are on the brink of a bronze medal now.

England had a strong quarter but they still are not close enough to really threaten.

The Aussies just need to stay form and the medal is theirs.

Lifting

The refs are fed up with delaying tactics and the English have launced an attack off the back of being told to calm down.

The margin was at 14 but they got it back to 11.

Score is currently Aus 46, ENG 34.

Costly errors

England have thrown the ball away twice in the opening minutes of the second half as they attempt to overcome Australia’s double-digit lead.

It doesn’t look like the Roses have made any changes and the Australians are business as usual.

Score is Aus 37, ENG 26

HT: Australia 35, England 24

England are simply hanging in at the moment.

This is very similiar to the early meeting between these sides.

On that occassion, Australia dominated for three quarter before England got some respect back in the last.

Will this be the same?

In control

The Aussies have taken full control now.

They are using a measured pace with their ball movement but know when to flick the switch.

England are nowhere near as desperate to intercept as Jamaica were last night and it means there’s no pressure on the Diamonds.

Australia up 32-20.

12 for 12

WA’s Sophie Garbin only took four shots for the Dianmonds in the semifinal.

She already has 12 today and has not missed any.

Making up for a tough performance against Jamaica.

Australia up 22-14.

QT: Australia 19, England 11

The Aussies are intercepting everywhere and look a different team to the one that got rolled by Jamaica.

They have forced England to go to the bench already and they will be making some more changes at the break.

Austin looks strong under the net while Bruce is breaking up England’s attacks.
