Commonwealth Games: Adam Peaty cruises into 100m breaststroke semi-final

England's Adam Peaty qualified fastest for Saturday evening's 100m breaststroke semi-finals in his first race since fracturing his foot in May.

Peaty, who missed last month's World Championships, was the only man under a minute, finishing in 59.92 seconds.

The Olympic champion is chasing a third consecutive Commonwealth Games gold.

Meanwhile, England's Olympic champion Tom Dean won his heat to reach the 200m freestyle final along with Scotland's Duncan Scott, who won silver in Tokyo.

Scott recorded the fastest time, just three-hundredths of a second quicker than Dean to set up a rematch of last year's Olympic final. England's Joe Litchfield and Welsh swimmers Calum Jarvis and Matthew Richards have also qualified for the final.

Peaty, who qualified in a time that is three seconds slower than his world record, told BBC Sport: "I had no idea where I am at, I still don't really, I am still blowing out the cobwebs."

Asked about his foot injury he replied: "It feels all right in the water, it is just literally now going through the rounds."
