A bronze for Dwain Chambers in the 60 metres took Britain's overall haul to four, matching their tally from Doha two years ago with one day of competition remaining.
Veteran Yamile Aldama, who previously competed for her native Cuba and then Sudan, produced a brilliant jump of 14.82m to win gold in the triple jump. And American-born Tiffany Porter, whose appointment as team captain last week reignited the debate on the issue, took silver in the 60m hurdles behind Australia's Sally Pearson.
