Commonwealth Games: England bounce back from Australia defeat with victory against Malawi in Glasgow

England bounced back from their Commonwealth Games Netball defeat at the hands of Australia with a much-needed victory against Malawi in Glasgow.

After Anna Stembridge's side in their second group match on Sunday but they bounced back to seal a 73-38 success against Malawi.

England started the match in quick-fire fashion and stretched their advantage to 14 points at half-time with a 37-23 advantage.

They added 18 goals by the end of the third quarter in the Hydro with Sasha Glasgow adding to the Malawian woe.

England, who started their competition in emphatic fashion , continued the onslaught in the final quarter with London Pulse star Olivia Tchine finishing with 24 goals in the match.

"Getting back to where we are was important," said vice captain Amy Carter.

"After yesterday's loss, we've definitely turned things around today and fixed some of the things we got wrong.

"Australia are obviously very physical, and so are Malawi, so it was good to match up to that and stand up to that challenge.

"We definitely wanted to go out there and be ruthless today. Sometimes it's hard when you start a quarter well to maintain that consistency and keep turning the screw, but I think we certainly did that."

The Vitality Roses are likely to need to beat South Africa in their last group game on Thursday to stand any chance of reaching the semi-finals and keeping their medal hopes alive.
