England suffered a hat-trick of heartbreaks after defeat to Jamaica denied them Commonwealth Games bronze. A day after blowing their chances of making the gold medal match for the first time in the dying seconds against New Zealand, Anna Mayes' side went down 52-48 at the SSE Hydro to miss out on a medal. This match also looked set to go to the wire with the scores level at 37-37 going into the final quarter, but England's level dropped when it mattered most as they slipped from 48-47 behind to 51-47 down and from that point there was no way back.

That run of three unanswered goals in the final period left England with too much to do, though, and had the @placeholder substitutes celebrating at the side of the court as the clock counted down.

'They fed @placeholder well, they converted when they needed to and she rebounded well when she missed, so that was difficult.'
