Fiercely determined in their last group game, the Vitality Roses faced an unbeaten Australian side.
A strong start and confidence from Harriet Jones in the shooting circle kept England firmly in the race in the first half, whilst the defensive unit worked hard to put a stop to Australia's long bomb shots in the power play periods.
But it wasn't enough and Australia confirmed a spot in the final with a 41027 victory over the Vitality Roses.
