England's netball team secured a decisive 94-32 victory over Tonga in a crucial Pool A match at the Commonwealth Games, significantly boosting their semi-final aspirations. This win also saw England shatter their own Games record for goals scored in a single match, surpassing their previous best of 89 against Sri Lanka in 2002.

From the outset, England established dominance, leading 27-8 after the first quarter. Goal shooter Eleanor Cardwell was instrumental, scoring 54 goals from 60 attempts. She was supported by goal attackers Sasha Glasgow (18 goals) and Ella Clark (12 goals), along with Olivia Tchine (10 goals).

The substantial margin of victory improved England's goal average and difference, positioning them third in their pool but level on points with South Africa and Australia. Their final group game against South Africa will be pivotal in determining semi-final qualification. Tonga, despite their progress, are eliminated from the competition.
