Guernsey's highest-ranked squash player Chris Simpson has gone out in the third round of the men's singles in Delhi after losing to England's Daryl Selby.

The world number 48 lost in straight sets to the English world number 10.

There was also bad news for the women's table tennis team, who missed out on a quarter-final place after losing to Canada 3-1.

Swimmer Ian Powell qualified for the semi-finals of the 50m butterfly but missed out on a place in the final.

In tennis, Britain's number four Heather Watson, ranked 202 in the world, won her first-round singles match and will now face Poojashree Venkatesha of India.

Her mixed doubles partner Patrick Ogier lost a tough match against the third seed Matt Ebden. Watson and Ogier have drawn England's Sarah Borwell and Ken Skupski in the mixed doubles second round.
