Two Wales bowls teams will battle for a Commonwealth Games bronze medal on Tuesday morning.

The Para-mixed bowls B2-B3 pair of Julie Thomas and Steffan James, aided by directors Jamie Jones and John Wilson, were beaten 2-0 to the England pair of Rob Homer and Sally Anne Lewis-Wall, who were aided by directors Sue Davies and Elizabeth Shipley.

Wales face an early start on Tuesday morning when they play the bronze medal match against New Zealand at 08:30 BST.

The Wales women's pair of Amy Williams and Lauren Gowen also lost to England in the semi-finals on Monday night, when they were dramatically beaten on a tie-break by Amy Pharoah and Sian Honnor in a contest that went down to the final bowl.

Williams and Gowen will play Northern Ireland at 10:10 BST.
