Jamaica put a dampener on Ama Agbeze winning her 100th England cap by easing to a 3-0 clean-sweep in the Sunshine Series.

Head coach Tracey Neville made a number of changes to her starting line-up for the dead rubber with the Sunshine Girls having already secured an unassailable lead in the three-match series.

The Roses were aiming to add a bit of respectability to the scoreline, but goal machine Jhaniele Fowler put pay to that as the hosts sealed a comprehensive 58-43 win.

England's attack of Sasha Corbin, Chelsea Pitman, Kadeen Corbin and Ellie Cardwell allowed the visitors to stay in touch early in the first quarter before Jamaica built a 16-10 lead.

George Fisher and Nat Panagarry were introduced mid-way through the second quarter, but some clinical finishing from the Sunshine Girls enabled them to establish a nine-goal lead at the beak, 30-21.
