England held their nerve to beat Australia for the first time at a Netball World Cup and finish top of Pool F in South Africa.
England overturned a seven-goal half-time 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.
Both sides will compete Saturday's semi-finals against either Jamaica, New Zealand or South Africa.
The result means that England maintain their unbeaten record heading into the last four.

However, they will gain huge confidence from the way they fought back against world number ones Australia and kept their composure in the final seconds to seal an important win.
