Billie Jean King Cup Finals: Great Britain avoid elimination after Spain beat Kazakhstan

Great Britain avoided being eliminated from the Billie Jean King Cup Finals before even playing their second group tie after Spain beat Kazakhstan to keep the hosts' hopes alive in Glasgow.

The Kazakhs would have progressed to the semi-finals and eliminated Britain if they had beaten Spain on Wednesday.

But Spain's win means Anne Keothavong's team can still qualify on Thursday.

Britain's team of Harriet Dart, Katie Boulter, Heather Watson, Olivia Nicholls and Alicia Barnett, take on Spain in Group C's final tie in Glasgow's Emirates Arena.

The tie, which will not start before 16:00 GMT, will be shown live on the BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website.
