Caitlin McClatchey celebrates her 400m freestyle gold

England's Joanne Jackson took the silver medal behind McClatchey to follow Melanie Marshall's second place in the women's 200m backstroke.

Marshall was also a member of England's silver medal-winning team in the 4x100m freestyle relay.

Australia's Leisel Jones won the 100m breaststroke in a new world record.

McClatchey became the first Scottish woman to win two individual gold medals at a Commonwealth Games with her fighting win in the 400m.

The 20-year-old prevailed in a desperate three-way finish to win gold in four minutes 7.69 seconds.

It was very close and until the last 50m it was anyone's race Caitlin McClatchey

England's Jackson was second in 4:08.36 with Australian Bronte Barratt third in 4:08.65.

Defending champion Rebecca Cooke, of England, could only finish seventh.

"There was quite a lot of expectation on me before the event, so I was just trying to get over the pressure and keep my head down," McClatchey said.

"It was very close and until the last 50m it was anyone's race, but I just did enough."

Earlier, Jones powered home in 1:5.09 seconds in the 100m breaststroke.

It beat her own previous world best of 1:05.71, set at the Australian trials in the Melbourne Games pool last month.

It was her third breaststroke gold medal of the Games, after earlier wins in the 50m and 200m events.

The 20-year-old world champion and world record holder over 200m said: "I'm in absolute shock.

To get a medal in a world record race is just fantastic Scotland's Kirsty Balfour

"I can't believe I got the world record. I was so nervous beforehand that I had stomach cramps."

Scotland's Kirsty Balfour took the bronze medal 1:07.83, behind another Australian Jade Edmistone.

"To get a medal in a world record race is just fantastic," said Balfour, who has also won silver in the 200m breaststroke.

Loughborough student Marshall had already won bronze in the 100m backstroke and 200m freestyle before she scooped silver in 200m backstroke.

But her time of 2:10.87 was not good enough to beat Australia's Joanna Fargus.

Fargus, born in Hong Kong but raised in Australia, won a relay gold medal for England at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester before switching her allegiances.

Marshall continued her good form, however, when she joined Rosalind Brett, Amy Smith and Fran Halsall for silver in the 4x100m freestyle.

Australia won the race in 3:36.49 to secure their 13th gold of the Games (all won by women) and give Libby Lenton her fourth title.

It added to her earlier triumph in the 50m freestyle over team-mates Jodie Henry and Alice Mills, in a new Commonwealth record of 24.61 seconds.
