England’s Jack Laugher successfully defended his 1m springboard title for a second time at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

The 27-year-old, who won the gold in 2014 and 2018, scored 447.05 to finish 10 points ahead of Australia’s two-time world champion Li Shixin.

Laugher will be joined on the podium by fellow Englishman Jordan Houlden, who won bronze on his Commonwealth debut.

Laugher said his team-mate’s achievement was “extremely special”.
