England hold off Australia to take gymnastics gold

England's women's team win gymnastics gold, while Wales take bronze at the SCC Hydro in Glasgow.

England have won a gold medal in the women's team gymnastics at the Commonwealth Games after seeing off the challenge of Australia.

The team of Becky Downie, Hannah Whelan, Ruby Harrold, Claudia Fragapane and Kelly Simm amassed a total of 167.555 to claim top spot and match the achievement of England's men's team.

There was also joy for Wales, who took bronze at the SCC Hydro in Glasgow following a slip-up from Canada and Australia on the second day of the two-day event.

Louis Smith, Sam Oldham, Kristian Thomas, Max Whitlock and Nile Wilson won the men's title earlier today.
