MANSFIELD'S Molly Renshaw clinched a bronze medal in the 200m breaststroke at the Commonwealth Games.

The teenager finished third behind Australian pair Taylor McKeown and Sally Hunter in a time of 2.25.00, 2.64 seconds adrift of the winner.

Renshaw had equalled the English national record in her favoured discipline last month.

And after failing to make the final in the 50m event earlier this week, she cruised through to the final in the 200m, finishing second in her heat.

And there was success too for England's badminton mixed team as Nottingham's Chris Adcock helped them progress to the semi-finals with a 3-0 win over Sri Lanka.

Adcock and wife Gabby got the quarter-final off to a great start with a 21-15 21-16 success in their doubles clash.

"It is a different atmosphere and feeling to the group stages," said Adcock. "We gave our opponents a lot of respect, we were sharp, but the further along we go, the better games come."

England now wait to hear who they face in the last four tomorrow.
