Relive the action from a hard-fought encounter at Nottingham's Motorpoint Arena, where the Vitality Roses were pushed to their limits by a disciplined and determined South Africa. The highlights capture an intense first quarter in which the Proteas matched England stride for stride, taking a one-goal lead into the first break behind composed shooting from their goal attack Elmere van der Berg. England head coach Jess Thirlby's tactical adjustments at quarter-time proved pivotal, and the footage shows the Roses gradually wresting control through the second period.
The standout moments include a dominant defensive stretch from England goal keeper Funmi Fadoju, who claimed three intercepts in a blistering four-minute spell that swung the match in the Roses' favour. In attack, Eleanor Cardwell was at her clinical best at goal shooter, while the link play of Halimat Adio at goal attack kept the South African defence off balance. The final quarter produced gripping end-to-end netball, with the Proteas refusing to concede and pulling within two goals with three minutes on the clock before England's composure saw them home.
