Diving: Britain win synchronised springboard bronze medal

Divers Jack Laugher and Chris Mears win Britain's first medal of the World Aquatics Championships in Russia with bronze in the synchronised 3m springboard final.

The Commonwealth champions have also secured Team GB a place in the event at the Rio 2016 Olympics.

Two strong final dives allowed them to battle back from a poor start to make the podium in Kazan.

Gold went to China's Cao Yuan and Qin Kai, with Russian pair Evgenii Kuznetsov and Ilya Zhakarov in second.
