England skip Paul Brown kept his nerve to deny Scotland a Commonwealth Games lawn bowls bronze medal in their para-sport Open Pairs play-off at Kelvingrove.
Brown's final bowl of the 15th end earned the two shots required to force an extra end which England who handsomely to claim a 16-12 victory and seal a place on the podium.
The 35-year-old from Bristol praised team-mates Bob Love and David Fisher for bouncing back after their semi-final defeat to South Africa on Wednesday.
Brown said: "It was tough and the conditions didn't really help but it was a new day and we were determined to get on that green and make sure of a medal."
England were behind from the start in the B6/B7/B8 event as the Scotland team of Kevin Wallace, Michael Simpson and Billy Allan went two points up on the first end.
They retained control throughout, increasing their lead to three after five and four after 13, before Brown hauled England back into contention and set up the dramatic finish.
Brown added: "It was just a case of sticking with it and we managed to pick up the two and forced the extra end.
"The team bowled fantastically well in the extra end. As a team we have played well this week and even when we have been down we've fought back."
