Great Britain 2 Malaysia 2 (Malaysia win 4-3 on penalties)
Great Britain twice came from behind against Malaysia yesterday in temperatures in the high 90s only to miss out on the bronze medal in the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup on a penalty stroke shoot-out.
After Rob Thompson had equalised an early goal by Mun Fatt Lam, the Malaysians retook the lead controversially when Charil Aziz claimed that he had got a touch to a free hit from his captain, Shankar Ramu.
Within a minute Britain had forced their second penalty corner, which was switched for Nick Thompson to score. Howard Hoskin went close twice before the penalty stroke barrage.
Korea also won a shoot-out, 4-2, to take the gold after a goalless draw with Australia. India beat the Dutch 4-2 for fifth place.
