Dunn set to return from serious injury
England netball captain Amanda Newton will reach a tantalising 99 international caps if she takes to the court on Friday evening, when England face Malawi in the third Cooperative International Test match at Wembley Arena.
Newton missed two years of her international career with injury before being recalled to the England squad in 2006 and was then awarded the captaincy. She led England to their first victory over New Zealand in 32 years last summer, as well as taking charge at the Netball World Championships in November.
Meanwhile, England and TeamBath shooter Rachel Dunn should mark a successful return from serious injury in only seven months when she is included, as expected, in the England team to face Malawi.
Selected for England's squad to contest last November's netball world championships, Dunn suffered a serious knee injury only minutes into England's last warm up match against Jamaica in September. Following surgery she has undertaken seven months of intensive rehabilitation to regain her place in the England squad for the final match of the Test series.
England lead Malawi 2-0 after wins in Sheffield and Coventry and will be looking to close out a clean sweep at Wembley. A capacity crowd is expected, including a large Malawian contingent.
The game will be shown on Sky Sports Xtra at 5pm on Saturday
