Paul Coll finished second to the world No 4 in the Detroit Open squash tournament.

New Zealand squash ace Paul Coll lost the marathon five-set final at the $95,000 (US$70,000) Motor City Open in Detroit ahead of Wednesday's Commonwealth Games team announcement.
Coll - a certainty for selection for April's Games on the Gold Coast - was beaten by Egyptian top seed and world No.4 Marwan El Shorbagy 9-11, 11-9, 8-11, 11-8, 9-11 in 95 minutes in Detroit on  Sunday (Monday NZ time).
The West Coaster, who went to the 2014 Games in Glasgow, is ranked 13th in the world but should rise a couple of places when the new rankings are listed at the start of March.
Meanwhile, fellow Kiwis and third-seed Joelle King is into the final of the  women's US$50,000 Cleveland Classic after beating fifth seed Amanda Sobhy (United States) 11-7, 11-4, 11-3 in 24 minutes.

King will face Egypt's Raneem El Welily the top seed and current world No.2 for the title. They played three times late last year with the Egyptian wining two of the contests in close battles.
