KEY POINTS:
9.36pm
Full time NZ 59 Jamaica 49
The Silver Ferns have come back from a four-goal halftime deficit to beat Jamaica and set up a Transtasman Netball World Championship final.
Down 26-30 at the break, the Ferns hit the lead for the first time in the third quarter and
never looked back.
They will play Australia in the final game of the tournament at 8.10 tomorrow night.
9.21pm
Third quarter NZ 40 Jamaica 39
The Silver Ferns have taken the lead by the slimmest of margins and you could be forgiven for thinking The Beatles have gotten back together by the screeching from the crowd.
With nine minutes remaining in the quarter the Ferns hit the front, thanks mainly to a determined defensive effort.
9.01pm
Second quarter NZ 26 Jamaica 30
A tight Jamaican midcourt and pinpoint accuracy from goal shoot Romelda Aiken have given the Sunshine Girlz a four-point lead over the Silver Ferns at halftime.
There were tears from Ferns defender Leana de Bruin after she rolled her ankle and hit the ground hard. However, de Bruin shook it off and continued to play.
The Ferns need to do some serious regrouping during the break and if the unthinkable does happen and they are defeated it won't be due to lack of support, with a sonic-boom of cheers erupting around the stadium every time the home side scores a goal.
8.33pm
First quarter NZ 13 Jamaica 16
Jamaica came out of the blocks quickly and it took the Silver Ferns over two minutes to get on the board.
A tough battle in midcourt is brewing with Ferns centre already clashing twice with Jamaica's Kasey Evering.
The pressure also seemed to be getting to Irene van Dyk with the star shooter making some uncharacteristic errors.
7.28pm
Australia are into the Netball World Championships final.
Australia produced a commanding performance against a disappointing England side for a 51-33 victory.
6.52pm
Cook Islands coach Ana Noovao said Malawi played an "old style" of netball this afternoon, throwing long balls which was unexpected and unorthodox.
"They were a lot more hungry and I think their mental toughness was a lot more sharper than my team," Noovao said.
She said Malawi's success was healthy for netball because of their unique style.
Noovao said she has had to ring the changes during the tournament.
"We've got some pretty weary bodies out there," she said.
Noovao hopes to be back at the next World Championships to continue building on the strong foundation of Cook Islands netball.
"A lot of these players I've got now, it's their first international hit out," she said.
But there is certainly potential within the ranks and the development programme will enhance that.
"We got trashed a little bit about the Australian game but we're not out to do any favours for anybody but ourselves and that was to increase our ranking and we are doing that but I'd like the team to maintain a good performance," Noovao said.
5.48pm
South Africa have edged out Samoa 54-50 and will play Malawi in the playoff for fifth and sixth positions.
Malawi were too much for the Cook Islands, winning 61-47.
Samoa and the Cooks will be first on court tomorrow afternoon when they playoff for seventh and eighth.
5.05pm
