England's new-look women's gymnastics team edged out Wales by 0.1 points to clinch bronze at the Commonwealth Games in a thrilling contest.
None of the gold medal-winning team from the 2022 Games featured in Glasgow, with all five England athletes making their Commonwealth debuts following Taeja James' withdrawal because of injury.
England started well on vault but a handful of errors across the uneven bars and beam proved too costly for gold medal contention.
However, the team managed to inch ahead of Wales for a spot on the podium after World floor bronze medallist Abi Martin topped the standings on the final apparatus.
Canada secured the silver, while Australia put in a strong performance to collect gold.
Martin will compete again in three further finals; the all-around, floor and vault.
Shantae-Eve Amankwaah will also compete in the all-around and floor finals, as well as the uneven bars.
Ruby Stacey will join Martin in the vault final and Alia Leat secured a spot on the beam after missing out on the all-around with only two athletes able to complete per team.
