Great Britain clinch silver in team equestrian eventing

Great Britain clinch silver in the equestrian team eventing with Germany winning gold and New Zealand nabbing bronze.

Great Britain - made up of Mary King, Tina Cook, Zara Phillips, Nicola Wilson and William Fox-Pitt - have clinched a silver medal in the equestrian team eventing.

Fox-Pitt continued Britain's campaign today with a positive session by scoring just 53.30 of penalty points, which at the time was the lowest score of the day.

Nicola Wilson also finished off well but it was Zara Phillips who dealt her team a blow after suffering a time penalty after bringing down an early fence to mark a score of 53.10.

Phillips was followed by Germany's Sandra Auffarth, who avoided any penalty points and went round with a double clear within the time limit.

Britain's King completed her round without bringing down any fences or getting hit with a time penalty, which kept her country in the silver medal spot at that time.

King was then followed by Michael Jung, who wrapped up gold for Germany following a flawless ride.

Cook kept hold of the silver for Britain following her ride, which kept New Zealand in third place for a bronze medal.
