Battle of the Brits: Joe Salisbury and Harriet Dart clinch victory for Bulldogs

Joe Salisbury and Harriet Dart clinched Battle of the Brits victory for their team after beating Jamie Murray and Heather Watson in a winner-takes-all decider on a thrilling final day.

Salisbury and Dart won 6-4 6-2 to seal a 63-56 win for the British Bulldogs.

Union Jacks pair Andy Murray and Naomi Broady set up the deciding rubber by winning the penultimate match of the week-long tournament in Roehampton.

But Jamie Murray and Watson could not capitalise as the Bulldogs celebrated.

With the sides tied at 45-45 going into Sunday, each team won five matches on the final day - but the Bulldogs won the matches worth more points in an innovative format.
