half which they held on to at the half-time.
The fourth
ranked Aussies eves came out fighting in the second half with Anna Flanagan
converting two penalty corners to put them ahead. Georgie Parker enhanced the
lead to put her side in the box seat.
England reduced
the margin in the 66th minute through Alex Danson and looked poised
to go for the kill, but Australia scored in the final minute of play through Jodie
Kenny to sew up a 4-2 win. In the other game of the day Germany scraped past
Japan 1-0.
