Roses seek winning returnpublished at 13:59 BST
England v Malawi (14:00 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesA heavy defeat by reigning Commonwealth champions Australia on Sunday was a major setback to England's hopes of reaching the semi-finals of the netball.
The 2018 gold medallists failed to get a place on the podium in Birmingham in 2022 and their showdown against South Africa on Thursday looks as though it could hold the key to their ambitions.
But first there is today's game against Malawi and Wednesday's meeting with Tonga to come through.
Only two of the 12 players in the squad - Eleanor Cardwell and Imogen Allison - have experience in the Commonwealth Games after injuries to gold medallists Helen Housby and Natalie Metcalf, who withdrew with a calf injury last Monday.
Malawi suffered a 65-44 defeat by South Africa in their first outing before beating Northern Ireland 64-48 on Sunday.
Speaking of Northern Ireland, they go for their first win of the competition against Tonga today (16:00 BST).
