England's Steven Lewis won bronze in the men's pole vault at the Commonwealth Games on Friday.

The 19-year-old equalled his personal best with a clearance of 5.50m to finish behind Australian pair Steve Hooker and Dmitri Markov.

Nick Buckfield was fourth after clearing 5.35m.

"I'm over the moon, I can't put it into words,'' Lewis said. "I came here to jump a personal best but Paul Burgess having a bad day (the Australian recorded no height) helped me get the bronze.

"Coming here everyone was thinking about an Australia 1-2-3. I thought I could get fourth and push for a medal but achieving it is another thing.''

Hooker won gold - Australia's third of the night in the field.

Stuart Rendell won the men's hammer, an event which saw Andrew Frost just miss out on a medal.

Frost set a new personal best of 72.62m in the second round but was overtaken by South African Christiaan Harmse in the race for bronze.

England's defending champion Mick Jones, now 42, finished fifth and team-mate Simon Bown sixth.

Bronwyn Thompson, in the women's long jump, was Australia's other gold medallist.
