The Australian women's hockey team have secured a 3-3 draw with Great Britain in Perth, in the third match of their six-match series.
Ashleigh Nelson's equalising goal in the 54th minute of the match along with Great Britain's missed penalty corner opportunity late on, helped the Hockeyroos claw their way back into the game to secure the draw at Perth Hockey Stadium on Tuesday.
Despite the end result, Hockeyroos coach Adam Commens was clearly frustrated.
"I thought we played well for a new group with the team showcasing seven new players.
"We combined well to create numerous attacks with Great Britain defending doggedly, however, unfortunately we only ended up with a draw rather than a win."
