England's Sarah Price came through strongly in the final metres to win her 50m backstroke semi-final in a personal best 29.13secs having been well down mid-way through the race.

But the 23-year-old Barnett Copthall swimmer did see the Games record of 29.31 she set in the heats earlier broken as Australia's Dyana Calub claimed the mark with a time of 29.07 in the other heat.

Portsmouth's Katy Sexton also set a personal best of 29.69 but with that she just missed a slot in tomorrow's final as did Emily Crookall-Nixon of the Ilse of Man who was 15th overall in 32.53.
