All the action on the 11th and final day.

England won the plate competition by defeating Australia 36-12.
Australia's men retained their title, running out comfortable 5-2 winners over New Zealand in the final.
Pakistan won bronze by thrashing South Africa 10-2.
Canada celebrated double success as Olympic champion Simon Whitfield and Carol Montgomery won the men's and women's events.
Montgomery took her title first with a powerful run over the closing stages, though Leanda Cave of Wales finished even stronger to claim silver.
Whitfield showed his class with an awesome stamina show on the streets of Manchester, coming home shortly before Australia's Miles Stewart and Hamish Carter of New Zealand.
English hopes Simon Lessing (4th) and Jodie Swallow (8th) finished out of the medals in the races.
