England won three gold medals on the ninth day of the Commonwealth Games on Australia's Gold Coast on Friday, reports BBC Sport.
Two came in the diving pool as Tom Daley and Dan Goodfellow won the men's synchronised 10m platform event before Jack Laugher and Chris Mears did likewise in the men's synchronised 3m springboard competition. Daley had won gold in the synchronised 10m platform diving with Max Brick in 2010, and a silver with James Denny in Glasgow four years ago.
But the 23-year-old returned to the gold-medal position with Goodfellow, 21, in Australia as the pair scored 405.81 points.
Daley has now won four Commonwealth gold medals, having also won 10m platform individual golds in 2010 and 2014. Injury meant he could not defend his individual title this time.
In between, Katarina Johnson-Thompson took the women's heptathlon title at the Carrara Stadium.
