Bowls: Scottish pair make it three-in a-row indoors
Scotland enjoyed another record-breaking day as Alex Marshall became the first player to chalk up 19 world titles, indoor and outdoor, since he won his first title at World Championships in Worthing in 1992 by securing a third successive indoor pairs title with Paul Foster.

The duo became the first team to win the pairs title for a third consecutive year, adding it to the outdoor equivalent they won in Adelaide six weeks ago.
Yesterday's final was an all-Scottish affair, against Stewart Anderson, from Auchinleck, and Arbroath's Darren Burnett and it was a tension-laden affair. Foster and Marshall took the first set 9-7 and Anderson and Burnett the second 8-7.
