Britain's hockey girls lost their Olympic showdown with the Netherlands tonight, after leading through a goal supplied by Brighton's Ashleigh Ball.

Her penalty corner in the first half was converted by Crista Cullen but the world No. 1's hit back after the break at the Riverbank Arena to win 2-1, with Naomi van As and Kitty van Male on target.

GB already knew they were into the semi-finals following China's 1-0 defeat by Japan earlier in the day.

They now face Argentina in the last four on Wednesday night (8pm).

The other semi-final is between the Netherlands and New Zealand on Wednesday (3.30pm).
