our reporter kate grey was watching in liverpool, that was a strong performance from england: jellinekhat is right. the calm after the storm. an incredible day topping the table of the group, but they looked very impressive here in liverpool and they knew their coming into this in great form but south africa are a tough team. they have lost to them earlier in the year and they had some work to do but they we re they had some work to do but they were so clinical and the first half, really impressive, particularly in the shooting and looking very relaxed and comfortable, taking many shots. and the end, i believe she scored 30 out of 30 goals, they did lose the starting centre and captain, unfortunately she was injured and could not continue in that i did affect their rhythm, but england saw the game very co mforta bly england saw the game very comfortably and in the end, 58 goals to 37, really paying a market down to 37, really paying a market down to the other teams here that the face in the semifinals that they're here to win, liverpool arena was on their feet at the very end and of co

after ten days of spec macular net for world cup action here in liverpool, the final came down to thegins which saw new zealand victorious over the defending champions australia by just one goal. the new zealanders we re just one goal. the new zealanders were in control for the majority of the match with a 3— goal lead at halftime which meant that australia had to make some changes. they struggled in the third quarter and at one point were down by six goals but then they started to find their rhythm. the cool heads of new zealand letting the pressure of the australians in but in the end, the experienced new zealanders managed to hold on and in an epic finish, they won the match 52 goals to 51. huge celebrations for the silver ferns who many thought were not the ones to watch at this competition but they proved everybody wrong and one the netball world cup. let's hear from the new zealand team. it's a bit ofa hear from the new zealand team. it's a bit of a dream to be honest, and a fairy tale, but really proud and overwhelmed and i'm not too sure about words that describe how i am curr

this was never what they wanted to happen, particularly here in liverpool. the team, they came out with huge expectation on their shoulders, they have been unbeaten so far and they have been unbeaten so far and they have looked unstoppable here in liverpool, but they were very tense in the early stages. they went down by five goals in the early stages, they came back and managed to get three ahead at one point but the very experienced new zealand team proved to be too good in the end. the real reality of this is that england struggled under the pressure and let some balls go that they wouldn't usually let go, they were missing shots that they wouldn't usually miss and it has ended in heartbreak. the girls were in tears down on court. tracey neville will help to find some way to lift them up help to find some way to lift them up ready for their bronze medal match tomorrow against south africa. but it is not the result anybody wa nted but it is not the result anybody wanted here in liverpool and there will be some tough words for the goal tonight, ready for th
