Australia capped off the second evening of swimming at the Commonwealth Games with its sixth gold medal of the night in the men’s 4×100 free relay. The team of Cameron McEvoy (48.91), James Magnussen (48.09), Jack Cartwright (47.71) and Kyle Chalmers (48.25) put up a time of 3:12.96.

Chalmers, after winning the 200 free earlier in the night, didn’t have to do much on the anchor leg as the Aussies already had a big lead. The team came up short of the Games record of 3:12.72, set by McEvoy, Magnussen, Cartwright and James Roberts in prelims.

England’s team of David Cumberlidge, Ben Proud, Jarvis Parkinson and James Guy took silver in 3:15.25, and Scotland, with Duncan Scott, Jack Thorpe, Kieran McGuckin and Stephen Milne, earned bronze in 3:15.86.

New Zealand finished fourth in 3:16.60, ahead of Canada (3:16.60), South Africa (3:17.37) and Northern Ireland (3:20.03). Sri Lanka was disqualified.
