Netball Bronze!
Australia secure the bronze medal with an 18-goal win over England.
The Roses were never in the same class as Australia and were beaten by them twice in the Games.
While the Aussies won’t be happy they missed the gold medal match, they still bring home a medal for their efforts.
All but over
The Aussies can soak in the final four minutes of the Netball bronze medal match.
They hold a big lead over England who have have been resigned to their fate for the last few minutes.
England record their second fourth-placed finish in a row while the Aussies get their first-ever bronze medal.
It is still their worst finish in a Commonwealth Games.
Current score is Aus 65, Eng 46.
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.
