Harlow-born Jo Harten scored a dramatic last-second winner as England booked a place in the Commonwealth Games netball final for the first time in their history.

It looked like their match against Jamaica was going to go into extra-time, but Harten scored with the last play of the game to make the score 56-55.

They'll now face Australia on Sunday for the gold medal after the Australians beat New Zealand in the other semi-final.

Following the victory, Harten thanked fans for their support and said reaching the final was a "lifetime ambition realised."

Harten, who plays her domestic netball in Australia, could now help England make history.

Since the sport was introduced to the Commonwealth Games in 1998, all the finals have been contested by Australia and New Zealand.
