Result: England take silver in 4x200m freestyle
Team England take the silver medal in the men's 4x200m freestyle relay at the Commonwealth Games.

England have had to settle for silver in the men's 4x200m freestyle relay event at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.

Once again Australia were the champions in the pool, leading from start to finish, and set a new Games record final time of 7:05.97.

England, meanwhile, were third heading into the final 200m but a strong leg from James Guy helped them overcome Scotland and take the silver medal with a time of 7:08.57.

Scotland had Duncan Scott, who had earlier won the 100m freestyle, to thank for their strong performance, with his time of 1:44.82 ranking as the fastest single leg of any of the 20 swimmers.

Elsewhere, the small nation of Gibraltar had their final man lapped by the medallists before he eventually clocked in with a time of 8:15.75.
