England Roses reach Commonwealth Games semi-finals

England have secured a spot in the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games netball semi-finals after an impressive 85-31 win against Wales.

The Roses were relentless as they put in a dominant display - scoring their highest tally of the competition so far - to make it four from four.

England led 21-5 after a brilliant first quarter - Helen Housby and Jo Harten were on target.

Serena Guthrie impressed in mid-court and helped the Roses extend their lead to 45-10 at half-time.

Natalie Haythornwaite got on the score-sheet after the break and England, who scored 74 against Scotland last week, stormed even further clear against Wales.

England's final Pool B fixture sees them face New Zealand on Wednesday.
