Report from England's Quad Series opener

Tracey Neville's team began the tournament with a heavy 65-39 defeat against New Zealand in Auckland last Saturday, and they face potentially their toughest test against the world champions and No 1 ranked team in the game.

Australia, led by Lisa Alexander, began the competition with a dominant 68-43 win over South Africa, and with the added boost of home advantage in Adelaide the Roses face a difficult task to earn their first win of the series.

Games three and four of the inaugural event, taking place in Australia and New Zealand, get underway on Wednesday morning when South Africa go in search of their first win of the competition.

The Proteas have remained in New Zealand after Saturday's reverse against the favourites and they will meet the Silver Ferns in Hamilton with the action underway at 8.30am.

The final two matches take place in Melbourne on Sunday with England versus South Africa first-up before what is widely expected to be the decider between Australia and New Zealand.
