The 27-year-old won the contest on points at the SECC to secure bronze for his country.

Pilling racked up six points to Tafail's one in the first period, and although England came out 4-2 in the second, it was not enough to deny Wales the medal.

Amit Amit Kumar of India saw off Nigeria's Ebikweminomo Welson to win gold in the final.
