England's Ben Proud has won his second gold medal of the 2014 Commonwealth Games having come out on top in the men's 50m freestyle.

The 19-year-old won his country's first gold of Glasgow 2014 in the pool last week in the men's 50m butterfly, setting a new Games record along the way.

Proud finished with a time of 21.92s to edge out Australia's Cameron McEvoy, who was 0.08s slower, while James Magnussen took bronze.

England have now won nine swimming gold medals at the 2014 Commonwealths.
