Ashley Jackson: 'England must reach men's hockey final'

England hockey player Ashley Jackson has said that the men's side must ensure that they reach the final in their event at the Commonwealth Games.

The team clinched a place in the semi-finals with a 3-1 win over Canada this morning, and are likely to face Australia in their last-four clash.

Jackson, who scored twice against Canada, told BBC Sport: "The next step for this group of players is to make a final. We are ranked fourth in the world and have been very much playing to that ranking, unable to make that next step to get the right result in semi-finals.

"It does not matter who we face, we are confident going into the Australia game. We have lost a few times but we have already beaten them."

Australia are the current world champions.
