England are guaranteed two squash medals from the women's doubles after Sussex's Linda Charman and Fiona Geaves caused an upset.
The fourth seeds inflicted a rare defeat on the game's dominant female player, Australia's Sarah Fitz-Gerald, and her partner Liz Irving, for whom the 15-11 15-5 reverse was her last match before retirement.
Victory for the English duo means they face team-mates Cassie Jackman and Tania Bailey tomorrow for a place in the final, with a bronze medal assured for the team which loses.
"We stuck to our tactics really well and didn't falter," said 30-year-old Charman, from Heathfield.
"Sarah made a lot of mistakes, which isn't like her, and we kept the pressure on."
