Peaty cruises after returning from injury at Commonwealth Games

World record-holder Peaty, who has dominated his event in recent years, was forced to miss last month's world championships in Budapest due to the injury. But he looked sharp at the Sandwell Aquatics Centre on Saturday, qualifying for the semis in a time of 59.92sec, with Australian pair Sam Williamson and Zac Stubblety-Cook the next quickest. Peaty, 27, said his swim had "blown the cobwebs out" as he bids for England's first gold in the pool in Birmingham to slow Australia's charge.
