England's Jake Jarman claimed a fourth gymnastics gold on his Commonwealth Games debut, as compatriot Giarnni Regini-Moran took vault silver.

Jarman - at his first major senior championships - looked as composed as ever with two neat vaults.

The 20-year-old looked relieved after a difficult final vault and celebrated with a delighted Birmingham crowd.

Regini-Moran, celebrating his 24th birthday, put in a composed performance but could not match his team-mate.

He was however rewarded for his efforts as the Arena Birmingham crowd sang happy birthday after he completed his second vault.

Jarman was the only gymnast to attempt a vault with a 6.0 degree of difficulty and it paid dividends as he deftly twisted through the air to pull it off.

He finished with a total score of 14.916, with Regini-Moran scoring 14.633 and Australia's James Bacueti taking bronze with 14.283.

Northern Ireland's Ewan McAteer finished sixth, with Wales' Emil Barber eighth.

England have won 12 gymnastics medal in Birmingham so far, including eight golds.

Jarman's other gold-medal contributions came in the all-around, floor and team events, where Regini-Moran also won gold before adding floor bronze to his collection.

Tuesday's final day of competition will bring four more chances at gold for England, with the men's parallel bars, horizontal bar, women's balance beam and floor finals to come.
