Script:

Great Britain surged through to the World Cup Final with a stunning all-round team performance to win Saturday's tournament opener at King's Lynn.

Each member of Alun Rossiter's side -- Tai Woffinden, Danny King, Chris Harris and Simon Stead -- scored double figures in Norfolk, as they finished seven points clear of the USA, who pulled off a shock result by taking second place just ahead of Australia.

It means the latter two nations move on to Thursday's Race-Off in Poland, with Italy eliminated from the competition. GB await Poland and the winners of the next two meetings in the Final in Poland on Saturday.

Despite winning in Heat 20 courtesy of Jason Doyle, Australia were forced to settle for third place, just one point adrift of the USA.

Despite racing in one of very few counties that doesn't contain any stretches of motorway, Britain hit fifth gear in East Anglia.
