Cumbrian netball star Helen Housby will aim to help England hit back after suffering defeat in their opening clash with Australia.
The Vitality Roses went down to a dramatic 55-54 defeat in the first test Down Under.
Housby came back into Jess Thirlby’s side, and England pulled the game level at 54-54 with 30 seconds to play.
But Australia then grabbed victory through Donnell Wallam’s last-second lay-up shot on her international debut.
England’s Funmi Fadoju told Fox Netball: “We have to see what we can take from it.
“Yes, we want to win, but also see what we can build on in terms of partnerships.”
The second test is on Sunday and is live on Sky Sports Mix from 8am.
