Three of England's 3x3 basketball teams have progressed through to the semi-finals on Wednesday after topping their groups.

The women's wheelchair team kicked off the day with a dominant 21-2 victory against South Africa to top Pool A with three wins and 52 points.

But the men's wheelchair team went even better in their game against Kenya.

England did not allow Kenya to score even a single point, taking a 21-0 victory to also top Pool A with an unblemished record and 57 points.

England's men's team won all five of their games to top Pool B, equalling Pool A winners Australia's points total of 105.

The men's wheelchair team will face either South Africa or Canada at 13:00 BST before the women head on court at 15:00 BST to take on the winner of Wales v Canada.

England men's team could face Singapore, who they beat 21-13 on Monday to secure their place in the semi-finals, or New Zealand at 11:30 BST.

England's women team will have to book their place in the semi-finals the hard way after finishing second in their group beneath New Zealand.

They will meet Jamaica on Tuesday at 20:00 BST in the play-ins for a chance to meet Australia on Wednesday at 14:00 BST.
