Round up of Day Three in Poznan

England could make history tomorrow when the final pool matches are played in the FIH Indoor World Cup here in Poznan. In it's first ever Indoor World Cup, England have a real opportunity to reach the semi finals on Saturday. The final nut they have to crack is Austria, who they play tomorrow afternoon.

England are currently lying in second place in Pool B, separated by goal difference from the leaders, Russia. Austria are two points behind on seven points. England have played Austria on a couple of occasions recently and have narrowly missed out on winning both times.

Men's Pool A is currently led by Poland, with Germany and The Netherlands in second place.
