Netball New Zealand's setting the standard for Covid-19 recovery, with the first post-pandemic international test match tonight

The Silver Ferns are playing England in a three-test series, at Hamilton's Claudelands Arena.

International Netball Federation board director Shirley Hooper says it's exciting to host the first international match since January.

She says this series is huge - particularly for a women's sport.

She says tonight's game will be watched by people all over the world.

Live commentary for the match is on Gold AM from 7pm, and streaming on iHeart Radio.
