England's Sarah Walker exits women's singles badminton in quarter-finals

Team England's Sarah Walker has crashed out of the women's singles badminton as she was defeated by Canada's Michelle Li at the Commonwealth Games.

The 24-year-old played a tight first game with Li as the lead was exchanged several times, but the Canadian had just enough quality to secure the 21-18 win.

The second set played out just like the first as both women produced a quality array of shots to leave the game in the balance. However, Li upped the ante again to win the crucial points to seal her place in the semi-finals of the competition.

Li will play in her semi-final on Saturday.
