England held their nerve to earn a stunning win over Australia for the first time at a Netball World Cup and finish top of Group F in South Africa.

England overturned an eight-goal third-quarter deficit to win 56-55 in front of a thrilled crowd.

It is only the second time the Roses have beaten Australia since their Commonwealth Games triumph in 2018.

England will face New Zealand in the first semi-final tomorrow at 9pm while Australia will play Jamaica on Sunday morning at 2.
