England netball captain Fran Williams said her team failed to reach their usual level after a 66-47 defeat by Australia, the defending Commonwealth champions.

The Roses began Pool A action with a convincing 83-34 win over Northern Ireland on Saturday.

On Sunday they were outclassed as Australia eased to a 66-47 victory at The Hydro in Glasgow.

Williams told BBC Radio 5 Live the result and display were below the standard the squad had targeted.

She noted the side struggled to cope with Australia's physical approach, especially once the contest moved out of reach.

Australia led 18-11 after the first quarter and extended the margin to 56-35 by the end of the third.

Sophie Garbin finished with 41 goals from 42 attempts for Australia, while Olivia Tchine led England with 23 from 25.

England next face Malawi at 14:00 BST on Monday.

Earlier on Sunday, Scotland recorded their first Pool B win by beating Wales 56-47.

England, gold medallists in 2018, did not reach the podium at Birmingham 2022.

Only Eleanor Cardwell and Imogen Allison in the 12-player squad have prior Commonwealth Games experience following injuries to Helen Housby and Natalie Metcalf.

Jess Thirlby left the head coach role in March for family reasons, with Anna Stembridge taking interim charge.
