Adam Peaty completed a four-year sweep of major titles after winning the men's 100m breaststroke final at the Commonwealth Games.

Nile Wilson comes first in the men's all-around final to win his second gold of the Games. Teammate James Hall comes second.

Just one-fortieth of a point split Wilson, Hall and Cypriot Marios Georgiou going into the final high bar apparatus, and the Olympic bronze medallist kept his nerve to score 15.1 and take the title.

Wilson said: "It's incredible for it to come down to the wire with the three of us all in the mix.

"I smiled my way through it and hit the bar routine I knew I could. It's a great feeling to have another Commonwealth Games gold medal round my neck."
