Great Britain will play at Fed Cup's top table for the first time in 26 years after Johanna Konta and Katie Boulter both produced comebacks to secure a 3-1 victory over Kazakhstan.

The play-off was tied at 1-1 overnight at London's Copper Box after Boulter was unable to take three match points in a heartbreaking defeat to Kazakh number one Yulia Putintseva on Saturday evening.

The visitors looked set to take a 2-1 lead when Putintseva led Konta by 4-1 and two breaks of serve in the deciding set of Sunday's first rubber, only for the British number one to win the last four games in a 4-6 6-2 7-5 victory.
