8:08am - Next up is Andrew Jeffcoat in the 100m backstroke final and he has been one of the fastest qualifiers through heats and semis, so watch out for another podium finish here.
7:53am - IN the blocks and the 400 medley is off. Clareburt near the front on the opening butterfly leg, with South African Matthew Sates ahead early.
Clareburt takes the lead down the second lap and now into backstroke... he still leads halfway through backstroke, but Aussie Brendon Smith is on his shoulder.
Scot Duncan Scott is the big threat in lane one - he is catching on the breaststroke and has a great freestyle. Clareburt still leads halfway through the breaststroke though.
Clareburt a length ahead with the freestyle to come... go Lewis!
Clareburt won't be caught here - gold medal for the Kiwi!
7:38am - Clareburt clocked the fastest heat time over 400m medley last night, but none of the times were particularly fast, so obviously everyone is holding something back.
Meanwhile, another draw for Kiwi bowlers, with men's pair of Shannon McIlroy and Tony Grantham tying with Jersey 15-15, and the women's para pair falling 19-8 to Australia.

Last night, Paul Coll, Joelle King and Kaitlyn Watts all cruised through their opening rounds without dropping games.
6:10am - Cameron Gray in the 50m butterfly final, drawing lane one at the Sandwell Squatics Centre. They're in a line across the pool and Gray has grabbed bronze - stunning!
Gray barely progressed through heats and semis, but this event is so explosive, anyone has a chance. He finishes 0.67s behind England winner Ben Proud, with Singapore's Tzen Wei Teong second.
6:01am - OK, we have a brief respite before swimming finals begin, so let's recap what's happened overnight for the Kiwis at Birmingham.
