England have won their sixth consecutive Commonwealth Games medal to claim women’s hockey bronze in a crushing victory over India.

The team beat India 6-0 this morning with the result giving the country its 100th medal on the Gold Coast.

The triumph makes it ten years in a row that the women have medalled as England or Great Britain at a major tournament.

Forward Sophie Bray scored a 13-minute hat-trick to help secure victory.
