Cumbria's Lauren Smith has two chances of a gold medal after reaching the Commonwealth Games badminton mixed doubles and women's doubles finals.

Smith and Marcus Ellis made short work of their Scottish opponents in Sunday morning's semi-final in the mixed event.

They will now aim to go one better than in 2018, when they were silver-medallists on Australia's gold coast.

And Smith later teamed up with Chloe Birch to see off Chen Hsuan-Yu and Gronya Somerville of Australia in the women's competition.

While Smith is now certain to add two Commonwealth medals to her existing tally of five, she is aiming for her first gold in Birmingham.

The Longtown star and partner Ellis - the competition's second seeds - saw off Adam Hall and Julie MacPherson 21-14, 21-7 in this morning's mixed semi.

In the women's doubles, Smith and Birch - the second seeds - overcame their Aussie opponents 21-14, 24-22.

They will face Malaysians Pearly Tan and Thinaah Muralitharan in Monday's final.

In netball, meanwhile, Cumbrian Helen Housby was thwarted in her bid to help England win bronze in their third-place clash with New Zealand today.

The host nation were beaten by the Kiwis 55-48 in the bronze medal encounter.
