Netball: Silver Ferns fight back

The Silver Ferns made an unbelievable comeback in Melbourne to square the three-test netball series with Australia.

Australia led the first three quarters but a defiant Silver Ferns side refused to give up, resulting in two periods of extra time before they eventually won 67-65.

Coach Ruth Aitken says her side showed incredible heart.

Aitken says it showed great character, as the players have really owned their performance after a difficult couple of days. She says they have to build on it in Adelaide, as Australia started without captain Liz Ellis and inform shooter Catherine Cox and still took the lead.
