England loss ends hopes of title
England lost 90-64 to hosts Bulgaria in the Sofia Awards tournament on Saturday, virtually ending their chances of winning the competition.

They found Bulgaria's fast break too hot to handle and were punished for a lack of scoring from the bench.

England only trailed 52-39 at half-time, but Bulgaria pulled away after that.

Despite defeat, England are likely to finish second in the tournament if they beat minnows Cyprus in their last game.
