England's netballers have won gold at the Commonwealth Games.

They beat favourites Australia to secure the greatest result in their history and win their first Commonwealth Games gold medal.

Helen Housby, from near Wigton, scored in the final second to give England a 52-51 victory.

This was the first time since netball was introduced at the 1998 Games, that the final did not feature both Australia and New Zealand.
