Australia take the gold by a distance but there’s a huge fight for the other medal places and it’s left to Tom Dean to take the silver for England. Scotland and Wales have a huge battle for bronze...and Duncan Scott just does enough to land it for Scotland!

And that’s a Commonwealth record for Australia too in this event.

England swimmer Adam Peaty says he has to keep his spirits up by thinking about the bigger picture, after his comments earlier about being “not bothered” whether he won tomorrow’s 50m breaststroke final or not.

The Olympics are of course the main goal, but he’s a fierce competitor and still wants to win.

Abbie Wood took bronze in the women’s 200m medley final and says she’s looking forward to some downtime before the long race toward the Paris 2024 Olympics.

“I feel like this year has been really hard. So many ups and downs and inconsistencies with illness and just trying to get your head together again after coming fourth in an Olympic games. It’s as tough as sport gets. But to also do this in front of my parents is just as good, so I’m really happy with that,” she said to BBC Sport.

“I think I just need a proper break. I feel like I didn’t give myself that after the Olympics. So I’m going to take a month off and then the charge starts for Paris.

“If I want to have a big break it’s got to be now rather than next season. I just need to mentally reset. I’ve realised how, it’s more your brain than your body these days, for me anyway.”

Gold for England! Sarah Davies wins the women’s 71kg category after rocking a 126kg clean and jerk for a total of 229kg.

Very impressive and a Commonwealth Games record in the category with that weight total.

Top of the podium, with Canada and India taking silver and bronze respectively.

Maisie Summers-Newton took gold and Grace Harvey claimed silver in the women’s 100m breaststroke SB6 final.

The gold medallist said: “I’m really really happy. Coming off the back of the World Championships, it’s quite a tight turnaround, only five weeks. The Worlds was definitely our main goal but to come here and get the gold, it’s what I wanted to do.

“It’s a bit of a shame we didn’t get the heats this morning. That would’ve been fantastic to show the crowd what para-swimmers can do even more, but just to come out here in front of a home crowd and get a gold and silver, it’s incredible.”

There’s an aura surrounding Jake Jarman right now. The young English gymnast soared high once again to seize a third gold medal as he continues to take this Commonwealth Games by storm.

A huge, beaming smile spread across the 20-year-old’s face after completing an impeccable floor routine at Arena Birmingham with a score of 14.666. A puff of smoke after clasping his hands together after delivering such precision: the realisation of yet more potential fulfilled and the springboard to what promises to be a special career.

Jarman deeply believes in maintaining an element of fun, a vital ingredient to his medal success, yet the validation from a brilliant team gold before edging out teammate James Hall for the all-around title on Sunday propelled him to yet more glory on the floor here.

String quartet covers and polite applause aren’t the usual soundtrack to England versus Australia.

We’re used to seeing bitter battles play out in hostile environments like the Homebush or the Gabba, where no Pom is welcome.

The quaint surrounds of Victoria Park in Leamington Spa, the spiritual home of lawn bowls, was the setting for the latest iteration of the rivalry as England’s Nick Brett, Louis Ridout, and Jamie Chestney claimed gold in the men’s triples at the Commonwealth Games.

You would be hard pressed to find three more regular guys than these three.

The comparison to their Aussie counterparts was stark - bleach blonde hair all, a tradition for reigning Commonwealth champions - that wouldn’t look out of place on Bondi.

There is nothing normal about Brett’s ability to set up opportunities to score and bend the bias to his will.

He was the last man to send the sport viral, with his ‘Wonderbowl’ that was watched by millions within hours in 2019.

The 48-year-old civil servant pulled out shots in Leamington Spa that far surpassed that bowl that saw him dubbed the ‘Brad Pitt of Bowls’, and now Brett is hoping he’ll be better known as a Commonwealth gold medallist.

Double Commonwealth champion Ashley McKenzie wants to inspire children with behaviour problems to get into judo and thanked the sport for turning his life around after he earned gold at Coventry Arena.

McKenzie defeated fellow Englishman Samuel Hall to regain his Commonwealth title in the -60kg final, eight years after winning gold in Glasgow 2014.

The 33-year-old had to be consoled after being knocked out in the second round at Tokyo 2020 but was the polar opposite following his victory in Coventry and claimed judo helped him get his life back on track.

Canadian teen sensation Summer McIntosh takes the gold as was expected but it’s a brilliant bronze for Abbie Wood!

The 15-year-old Canada talent was almost hauled in on the breaststroke length but pulled away to win in the final 50m.

England’s Abbie Wood did push for silver briefly but it’s still an excellent result to take third, behind Kaylee McKeown of Australia.

Adam Peaty didn’t sound too fussed about whether or not he took gold in the 50m breaststroke, pointing out he’s still early in his recovery work and that the goal is Paris 2024. He also noted his frustration with the starting gun taking too long.

“I’m still a second off. They need to really do something about that start, I’m not one to complain, but it’s getting ridiculous now. We’re on that block for a 50m, and you’re like this. And you never get held that long anywhere. We just have to adapt to that, hopefully tomorrow it’s a bit better,” he said.

“It’s only a 50m breaststroke [final tomorrow], I’m not going to overthink it. It’s one length of the bath. It doesn’t feel amazing but it doesn’t feel bad either.

“It’ll probably be my last attempt tomorrow [at this race in the Commonwealth Games]. I’m not bothered about it. In the grand scheme of things, it’s about two years time [at the Olympics]. That’s no disrespect [to here] but… I’m still four weeks into my programme, I can’t put too many expectations on myself.”
