Helen Housby will tomorrow bid to inspire England to a landmark series victory in Australia.
The Cumbrian netball star helped the Vitality Roses level the test series with a superb 61-59 victory on Sunday.
Now the rivals face each other in the decider in Bendigo, Victoria, tomorrow.
After a 70-57 defeat in the opening test, England produced a strong response to claim only their third win over Australia Down Under.
Housby was influential in the performance of Jess Thirlby's side and, speaking to Fox after the second test in Sydney, the Cumbrian said: "The beauty of test match netball is you get to have another bite of the apple.
"For some of our young guns adjusting to the speed and physicality, you almost do need a little feel of it.
Incredibly proud to make more history with this team, only our third EVER win against Aus on their home soil.

"That first game, we got our ***** handed to us but I think we needed that, and to sharpen up our skills and ball handling.
"But these young guns don't have any fear, they believe England should win - each and every one of the girls stepped up."
It was England's first victory over the Diamonds since their Commonwealth Games win in 2018 when Housby, from Drumleaning near Wigton, memorably scored the last-gasp winner.
The series decider is live on Sky Sports from 9.30am tomorrow.
