England's scorer, Helen Richardson, in action against Korea.England's postponed World Cup match against Korea, which was due to be played yesterday (Thursday), took place at 11:30 (local time) this morning. The match could hardly have got off for a worse start for England when Jong Eun Kim scored with just 14 seconds on the clock.
Firm Korean defending stopped England from getting scoring chances, but two minutes into the second half Helen Richardson scored the equaliser. There was a last minute scare when Korean were awarded a penalty corner, but 'keeper Beth Storry was on hand to block the shot.
A 1-1 draw but England will retain their second place in Pool B, irrespective of other results.
The Pool B match between South Africa and China was played earlier. Canterbury's Jenny Wilson found the net from a penalty corner in the fourth minute, but after that it was all China, with a final score of 4-1.
The remaining Pool B match, between Argentina and Spain, is now being played, followed by the Pool A matches that were scheduled to be played today. England's next match is against South Africa tomorrow (Saturday).
