Great Britain's Victoria Pendleton went from a 2-0 defeat to a dramatic last-gasp 2-1 victory over Australian rival Anna Meares in the semi final of the World Championships in Melbourne.
Reigning world champion Meares thought she had wrapped up the best-of-three semi-final 2-0, winning the first race in dramatic circumstances as the Olympic champion crashed at high speed in the final straight after making contact with the Australian.
Meares then stormed home in the second round but officials relegated Meares for moving into Pendleton's line, awarding the round to the Briton and levelling the series 1-1.
And Pendleton produced a late surge after trailing the majority of the third and final race to snatch it by millimetres in a photo finish.
