Scotland’s Duncan Scott passed England’s Tom Dean to take a sensational 200m freestyle Commonwealth gold in a feverish atmosphere at the Sandwell Aquatics Centre.
Scott, who missed June’s World Championships because of Covid-19, was back to fitness as he beat his close friend in one minute 45.02 seconds.
English fans in Birmingham had already been treated to a home gold earlier on Saturday as Ben Proud powered to 50m butterfly victory.
Adam Peaty, back from a broken foot, qualified fastest for the men’s 100m breaststroke final in 59.02 seconds.
Imogen Clark added to the hosts’ medal haul with 50m breaststroke silver before Scotland’s Stephen Clegg took silver in the 50m freestyle S13.
England’s Hannah Russell took silver in the para-swimming too. She finished second behind Australia’s Katja Dedekind, who set a new world record of 26.56 seconds, bettering the old one by 0.11 seconds.
