Britain's Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski have progressed to the third round of the men's doubles at Wimbledon.

The French Open runners-up, who between them have won five major titles, defeated Colombian Nicolas Barrientos and India's Rithvik Choudary Bollipalli 6-4 7-6 (9-7).

British fifth seeds Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool also reached the last 16 by beating German Hendrik Jebens and France's Albano Olivetti 6-3 6-4.

But all-British pairings Sonay Kartal and Jodie Burrage, and Mimi Xu and Ella McDonald, were eliminated from the women's doubles competition.

Kartal, who will face Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova for a place in the quarter-finals of the women's singles on Sunday, and team-mate Burrage lost 6-3 6-1 to Brazil's Beatriz Haddad Maia and Germany's Laura Siegemund.

Xu and McDonald fell to Americans Sofia Kenin and Caroline Dolehide 6-2 6-3.

Salisbury later returned to action in the mixed doubles, partnering Brazil's Luisa Stefani to a 6-4 6-4 win over sixth seeds Michael Venus and Erin Routliffe, both of New Zealand.

But Marcus Willis and Alicia Barnett exited that competition with a 7-5 6-1 loss to Mexican Santiago Gonzalez and Slovakia's Tereza Mihalikova.

Salisbury is a four-time major champion in men's doubles, with each of those successes coming alongside American Rajeev Ram, while Skupski triumphed at Wimbledon alongside Dutchman Wesley Koolhof two years ago.

Having joined forces at this year's Australian Open, where they exited in the second round, they reached the Roland Garros final but lost out to Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos.

They settled the first set with a single break of serve before prevailing in a 16-point second-set tie-break, during which they saved three set points to avoid being taken to a decider.

The sixth seeds will face Argentine 12th seeds Maximo Gonzalez and Andres Molteni for a place in the quarter-finals.

A single break of serve in either set clinched victory for Cash and Glasspool, who prepared for Wimbledon by claiming back-to-back titles at Queen's and then Eastbourne.

They face Argentine Guido Andreozzi and Brazil's Marcelo Demoliner next.
