Silver Ferns beat England

11:09 am on 21 January 2014

The Silver Ferns have come from behind to score a 49-32 win over England in their netball test in London.

Coach Wai Taumaunu started with a new attacking trio of Cathrine Latu and Jodi Brown in the shooting circle and Camilla Lees at wing attack.

They struggled in the first quarter and were behind 13-9 at the first break, but then got their combinations working and took a 23-20 half time lead.

Taumaunu says she's delighted with how her side turned around their poor start and that a number of players have now got more top-level game experience.

New Zealand completes its tour with a match against England A tomorrow.

The test marked Laura Langman's one hundredth international for the Silver Ferns and is the third player to bring up the milestone behind Lesley Rumball and Irene van Dyk.
