Catchup on the action from Day Two here:

Australia v Fiji: 101 to 32

The Diamonds put in a strong performance to overwhelm the Pearls to kick off the action on Day Three. With Ash Brazill being rested, it was left to Jamie-Lee Price and Sunday Aryang to spend time in wing defence for the Diamonds, in front of a rolling cast of Sarah Klau, Jo Weston and Courtney Bruce in the defensive circle.

And roll they did, as Bruce racked up eight gains to go with just seven penalties, while Klau had three and three. The Diamonds' defensive end choked off the Fijian attack, with four held balls called across the match.

At the other end, the Diamonds continued to throw the combinations around, with Sophie Garbin and Cara Koenen each spending time at goal shooter, and Koenen and Wood splitting duties at goal attack.

it was a dominant performance from Australia, with almost as many gains won (29) as goals conceded (32), more than 100 goals, and 130 feeds, and a run of 11 consecutive goals to start the fourth quarter.

Wales v Sri Lanka: 68 to 56

Wales took out a tough match against Sri Lanka, holding on to their status as one of the mid-table teams at this World Cup. Clare Jones put on a show in centre, playing a big part in dominating feeds and goal assists, as she worked to keep the ball moving in the Welsh attacking end.

Despite shooting 49 goals, Georgia Rowe conceded seven penalties and gave away eight turnovers, stopping Wales from blowing out the score against their lower-ranked opponents.

For Sri Lanka, Chathurangi Jayasooriya worked hard in defence and managed one gain, but did rack up 13 penalties for the match, more than a third of the team's total. It was a strong effort by Sri Lanka, but they remain winless heading into the second phase of the tournament.

New Zealand v Singapore: 80 to 19

Coming into the competition as the lowest-ranked team, it is no real surprise that Singapore will end the first round of games at the bottom of the pool. Their most formidable competitor came on day three, absolutely punishing the team in a 24-2 second quarter.

Once again Kelly Jury took to the court at wing defence, a cruel tactic against one of the shortest teams, with Singapore's wing attack, Angelina Lim, almost 30cm shorter than her opponent. Where they lack height, Singapore gains speed and agility against taller opponents, something teams do have to watch out for.

Previously, the Ferns have used their entire bench in a game, but were missing midcourter Whitney Souness due to injury maintenance. Another player in the Ferns line up is also under an injury cloud, with Grace Nweke pulling herself off the court following an awkward landing.

Malawi v Barbados: 84 to 48

Mwai Kumwenda and the Malawi side shook off any concerns about team unity for 60 minutes in a barnstorming performance that puts them on the brink with some of the top teams in the World Cup.

Kumwenda started in goal attack alongside Joyce Mvula but finished at her preferred goal shooter, netting 42 goals and seven assists. Takondwa Lwazi played a huge role through the midcourt, with 39 feeds and 30 goal assists for her contribution on court.

The pain continued for Barbados, with 52 penalties and 29 turnovers getting in the way of any attacking flow, as the Corbin sisters and Latonia Blackman worked hard in the circle, but were unable to keep up with the firepower of the Malawian attack.

For Barbados, it's a tough end to the first phase of the tournament, while Malawi will draw confidence ahead of a looming matchup with the Diamonds.

England v Scotland: 62 to 37

The Roses continued their strong campaign with a strong win over Scotland, but a win that was not without its concerns. The Roses relied on Nat Metcalf to play the second half at goal attack, as Eleanor Cardwell and Helen Housby manage their minutes in the early part of the tournament.

Chelsea Pitman (wing attack) and Fran Williams (goal defence/keeper) were the only two players to play all 60 minutes, with load playing a part in Jess Thirlby's rotations over the match, but the lack of shooting and attacking depth for the Roses was on show.

Scotland had an even output, with 11 players playing more than 30 minutes, eight players receiving a centre pass and 11 receiving a second phase pass. There were strong signs for Tamsin Greenway's outfit, who recorded only six turnovers more than their highly-rated opponents.

Uganda v Trinidad & Tobago: 74 to 34

The She-Cranes highlighted just how far they have progressed in recent years with a thumping win over the Calypso Girls. Mary Cholhok was again a force to be reckoned with, as she continued to shine in a way that will attract international attention.

Margret Baagala carried the load for Uganda in the midcourt, with an astonishing 55 feeds and 39 assists across the match, and just three turnovers as she put in a sterling performance.

For the Calypso Girls, the tough tournament continued, despite the best efforts of Afeisha Noel, who is stepping in to fill the shoes of the injured Sam Wallace and the absent Kalifa McCollin.

Jamaica v South Africa: 67 to 49

The toughest match for any of the big favourites so far, as two of the medal contenders went head to head. Lenize Potgieter made her first appearance of the tournament, shooting at 100 per cent accuracy, but it wasn't enough.

The match was close early, with just six goals the difference at half time, before a 20-3 third quarter blew the match beyond any doubt. Jamaica managed five gains, while South Africa recorded 12 turnovers in that third quarter to put the match beyond doubt.

Both teams switched up their lineups for the fourth quarter, but the result had been put beyond doubt, despite the best efforts of Shadine van der Merwe (two gains) and Ine-Mari Venter (13 goals).

It puts Jamaica in the box seat heading into the second phase of the tournament, while the Proteas will have hope that they can challenge the Silver Ferns without any lapses of concentration.

Tonga v Zimbabwe: 55 to 46

Tonga racked up another win, after jumping out of the blocks stronger, and putting in a strong performance in the championship quarter against a fighting Zimbabwe team.

In a match that was even for much of the day, it was Uneeq Palavi's accuracy in the third quarter that helped make the difference, as she shot 10 from 10 on her way to 39 goals for the match, giving the Talu the leg up they needed. Kelea Iongi added eight intercepts in a strong performance at the back to help her team get over the line.

For Zimbabwe, it was a tough performance, with good output from Progress Mayo with 35 feeds and 17 assists, but 34 turnovers proved too much to overcome for the team as a whole.
