Pooley claims England silver in high jump

Isobel Pooley has won silver for England in tonight's high jump final at the Commonwealth Games.

The 20-year-old leapt a personal best of 1.92m to guarantee herself a place on the podium.

Pooley then discovered her standing after Levern Spencer of Saint Lucia failed in her bid to scale 1.96m, as the 30-year-old took bronze for the second Games in succession.

Eighteen-year-old Australian Eleanor Patterson claimed the gold ahead of the Englishwoman.
