Rio Olympics 2016: Great Britain's women achieve their first hockey final

Great Britain assured one more Olympic medal as the women's hockey team reached their first final with a terrific 3-0 wins over New Zealand in Rio.

Alex Danson's double and Helen Richardson-Walsh's penalty stroke mean GB will win at least silver, improving on their bronze at London 2012.

They look the Netherlands, who are looking for a third straight Olympic gold, in Friday's final at 21:00 BST. Team GB has succeeded 50 medals in Rio, more than at any other overseas Olympics.
