Troy Elder opened the scoring for Australia

Following their 3-1 loss in Slough, Britain found themselves trailing 2-0 at half-time to goals from Grant Schubert and Andrew Smith.

GB picked up after the break and quickly cut the deficit through Danny Hall, who fired into the bottom corner off goalkeeper Stephen Mowlam's pads.

But Michael Boyce and Michael Knowles secured an emphatic win for Australia.

"The scoreline was a fair reflection," admitted GB coach Jason Lee.

This is one of the best teams in the world and we had control of the game for over a third of the match Jason Lee, GB coach

"The real difference is they are the best team in the world this week, are in a run of matches and are up to match pace.

"We are ranked lower than them and are not up to our match pace.

"We conceded sloppy goals, which were individual errors, but you just can't train for international standard, you have to do that in games.

"I am satisfied they are trying to do different things and we have definitely improved over the three games (which includes a 3-3 draw in a training match) against Australia.

"This is one of the best teams in the world and we had control of the game for a 15-minute spell and a 12-minute spell - over a third of the match."
