Full time: NZ 55-49

POTM is Kelly Jackson who had a terrific game in defence. Maddy Gordon and Kate Heffernan were also very good, while Grace Nweke got on top as the game went on.

England made numerous changes throughout the game while New Zealand stuck solid with their starting lineup

Tchine 10/11
Housby 4/5

England leads at 1/4 time for the first time in the series. The Ferns have made some uncharacteristic mistakes. After not missing a shot all night in game 2, NZ has missed 3 already today.

Stats from Test 2 - NZ shot at 100%, but had 6 more general play turnovers. Each NZ player on court, gave away at least one, thanks largely to the Roses' all court defence.

Helen Housby (23/24) had 11 assists, 1 gain, 1 rebound, 1 pickup and 22 centre-pass receives.

The Roses really are the third quarter specialists. They've only won 2 quarters out of the 8 played so far in this series - the third quarter yesterday and today.

This was England's 20th test win against New Zealand. 16 of those wins have come in just the last 8 years.

Full time: ENG 61-58

The series is all square! Yesterday, NZ won 61-58 and today, the Roses have reversed the result, winning by the exact same score. It was a great all round team effort, but Helen Housby had a cracker and was chosen as POTM.

3/4 time: ENG 46-42

Make that SEVEN 3rd quarters in a row for England over NZ. That was 19-13! They're doing exceptionally well with their all court defence, often forcing New Zealand to go backwards. Amy Carter has had a great game and the Tchine / Housby combo is on fire.

1/2 time: NZ 29-27

Barely anything between these two teams. The Silver ferns just edged another goal in front in that quarter. Both sets of shooters are converting their opportunities, which makes any changes of possession crucial. The game could go either way.

#ENGvNZL

1/4 time: NZ 13-12

Just like yesterday, the Silver Ferns go into the first break up by one. Both sides finding it a bit tough to score with the defences able to force multiple turnovers.

Stats from today's first test which saw the Silver Ferns take a 1-0 lead in the series. Congrats to Jas Brown on her Roses debut.

It's a quick back up as test two is played tomorrow.

Full time: NZ 61-58

The Silver Ferns take the first test of the series after a great battle. They had just a bit more composure in a frantic final 15 minutes. It was still a great effort from the Roses with two more tests to come. Kate Heffernan was judged POTM for NZ.

#ENGvNZ

3/4 time: 47-47

This is a cracking game. We've got no idea who's going to come out on top. The third quarter specialists, the Roses took it 17-14 and take the momentum into the last 15 minutes. Amy Carter made a difference coming on for England.

1/2 time: NZ 33-30

A high quality second quarter sees the Silver Ferns edge further in front to lead by 3 goals. In a tough match for defence, all shooters have been impressive. Both teams have been clinical with the ball, making a low number of turnovers.

1/4 time: NZ 15-14

An entertaining first quarter with little in it as the score suggests. England actually held sway for most of the quarter, thanks to Funmi Fadoju who came up with a couple of great plays, before NZ took the lead just before the break.
