- England 58-61 Jamaica
- Teams will settle three-match series at Copper Box on Sunday
Jamaica forced a deciding game with England in their three-match series after coming from behind early on to win 61-58 at London’s Copper Box Arena. Jo Harten was a late withdrawal from Jess Thirlby’s lineup due to an injury, with Olivia Tchine stepping in at starting goal shooter for the Roses.
England, who struggled in the first quarter of their 73-52 victory in Wednesday’s Manchester opener, looked far more assured in London and led 18-12 after the first 15 minutes. However Jamaica, silver medallists in the Commonwealth Games, replied in the second quarter, taking the lead for the first time, and by half-time they were up 31-27.
