England took a big stride towards the Champions Trophy final with a come-from-behind win against China in Nottingham.
China took an early lead through a Ma Yibo PC in the 12th minute and the home side struggled to find space against the Chinese press.
England started the second half much more assertively and a Helen Richardson rebound from a Christa Cullen PC put them level 10 minutes into the half.

A late rally from New Zealand took the gloss off an otherwise fluent German performance in the Champions Trophy at Nottingham on Thursday.

Four first-half goals from Japan blew away New Zealand in the men's Four Nations invitational at Nottingham on Wednesday.
Japan always looked the most inventive and creative side in the opening half in which the highlight was a fine individual goal by Kenji Kitazato who carried the ball from the half way line and netted a powerful reverse-stick strike past Hamish McGregor in the Kiwi net.

Germany controlled the game for the most part, although a rare mistake from the otherwise impeccable Martin Haner gave the hosts a chance of a late penalty corner equaliser on the buzzer.
