Bascue and the team of Nathan Weber, Carlo Valdes and Sam McGuffie were second in 1:35.49.
Hall gave Britain just its second four-man medal in the last 20 years. He was in a sled with Bruce Tasker, Joel Fearon and Gregory Cackett and took third in 1:35.56, after holding the lead after the first run.
