England's Rattigan settles for silver

England's Yana Rattigan has had to settle for a silver medal, having lost to Vinesh in the women's freestyle 48kg.

The 27-year-old, who also won silver in the 2013 European Championships, trailed the first period 6-4 at the SECC in Glasgow.

Rattigan fell further behind in the second period, although with 30 seconds remaining the score was tight at 11-8.

India's Vinesh proved to be too much, however, and she held out for the gold medal to the dismay of her opponent who broke down in tears.
