Shane Brathwaite of Barbados took silver in 13.30, and local hero Andy Pozzi won a dramatic battle for bronze ahead of fellow Briton Joshua Zeller.

After making an excellent start in lane eight, Pozzi - boyfriend of England’s Commonwealth heptathlon champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson - went well up to the final flight of hurdles, where he lost his form but managed to keep going before falling over the line.

Zeller, who finished fifth at last month’s World Athletics Championships, finished strongly but lost out to his compatriot for a medal by two hundredths of a second, 13.37 to 13.39.

"Birmingham is where I get it done," said Pozzi, who won the world indoor 60m hurdles title four years ago at the city's indoor arena.

Laquan Nairn of The Bahamas won men’s long jump gold on countback from India’s Murali Sreeshankar of India after both managed a best of 8.08 metres.

Nairn registered that mark in his second round, but Sreeshankar matched it with his penultimate attempt.

Nairn held gold position thanks to a better second-best jump - 7.94m to to 7.84m - but the Indian jumper appeared to have challenged that with his final effort, only for it to be ruled a foul.

Confirmed as gold medallist, Nairn managed 7.98m with his final attempt.

Bronze went to Jovan van Vuuren of South Africa, who jumped 8.06m, a centimetre farther than Jamaica’s Shawn-D Thompson.

Goodness Nwachukyu of Nigeria earned gold in the women’s discus throw F42-44/61-64 final after a superb display in which she surpassed the existing F42 world record of 33.19m on four occasions, with a best of 36.56m, and a fifth effort of 33.18m.

It was a towering effort from Nwachukyu, who discarded her crutches in the throwing net before each effort, before making her way to the throwing circle, where she threw with a minimum of spinning movement.

Australia’s Sarah Edmiston, also in the F42 class, took silver with 34.96m - also well clear of the previous world record - and bronze went to Fiji’s F44 thrower Naibili Vatunisolo with 23.70.

Matthew Denny of Australia won the men’s discus title with absolute authority, finishing off a fine sequence of throws with a personal best of 67.26m, although any of his previous efforts would have been enough to win.

Silver went to England’s Lawrence Okoye with 84.99m, with Jamaica’s Traves Smikle, silver medallist at the 2018 Gold Coast Games, earning bronze with a best of 64.58m.

Australia’s Madison de Rozario, Tokyo Paralympic champion in the T53 marathon and T54 800m, who retained her Commonwealth marathon title last Saturday, followed up tonight with a successful defence of her T53/54 1500m title.

Striking for home with two laps to go, the 28-year-old from Perth had to work hard for gold as she came under strong pressure in the finishing straight from team-mate Angela Ballard and Scotland’s Samantha Kinghorn, but prevailed in 3min 53.03sec.

Ballard took silver in 3:53.30 and Kinghorn earned bronze in 3:53.38.

South Africa's Ndodomzi Ntutu took the men's T11/12 100m gold in 10.83sec, with home sprinter Zachary Shaw earning silver in 10.90 and bronze going to Ananias Shikongo of Namibia in 10.95.

Australia’s Cedric Dubler won the concluding event in the decathlon, the 400m, clocking 48.47sec, with Papua New Guinea’s Karo Iga finishing second in a personal best of 48.81.

Fifth place in 49.67 was enough to maintain Grenada’s defending champion Lindon Victor in the overnight lead on 4327 points, with Dubler on 4242 and Victor’s compatriot Kurt Felix third on 4145.

Second place in the fourth decathlon discipline, the high jump, had kept Victor in the lead heading towards the final event of the day, the 400m.

Victor cleared a season’s best of 2.03m behind the 2.06m achieved by Dubler.

Felix was third on 2.00m.

That left Victor ahead on 3490 points from Dubler on 3356 and Australia’s Alec Diamond, who had finished fourth in the high jump with 1.97m, third on 3323, eight points ahead of Felix.

Akani Simbine of South Africa, men's 100m silver medallist and 2018 Gold Coast champion, was absent from this evening's men's 100m medal ceremony - only Kenya's gold medallist Ferdinand Omanyala and Sri Lanka's bronze medallist Yupun Abeykoon were present.

Simbine's next scheduled appearance is in Saturday’s re-arranged Wanda Diamond League meeting in Silesia.

"I'm going to finish off the Diamond League season, I'm racing on Saturday in Poland so it's a quick turnaround," Simbine told news24.com.

"And then on Monday, I'm in Budapest, so it's a busy schedule for me, but I'm looking forward to it."
