However, while the 16-year-old Englishman showed few nerves in producing a very good dive, his Australian rival fluffed his entry and was marked accordingly.Daley finished with 538.35pts, 27.20 ahead of Mitcham although that did not reflect the close nature of the contest.It was Daley's second title in two days after he partnered Max Brick to the 10m synchro title yesterday.Meanwhile, Parag Patel secured England's second shooting gold of the day with victory in the full bore singles.Patel fired a score of 396 to take the gold ahead of the Australian James Corbett (395) with Northern Ireland's David Calvert taking the bronze with 393.Scotland's Angus McLeod and Ian Shaw took the silver medal in the pairs full bore open pairs final with Patel claiming his second medal of the day, a bronze with Jon Underwood.Earlier Patel's England team-mate Richard Brickell struck gold in the men's singles skeet.

Wigan's Darrell Goulding to make England debut against New Zealand • Goulding replaces Ryan Hall in opening match of series• Wigan winger was surprise selection in 24-man squadDarrell Goulding, the Wigan winger who was not even in the club's starting side at the beginning of the last domestic season, makes his England debut in the opening match of the Four Nations series against New Zealand at the Westpac Stadium in Wellington on Saturday. Australia play Papua New Guinea on Sunday.The 22-year-old, who was a surprise selection in the coach Steve McNamara's 24-man squad, gets his chance in place of the Leeds winger Ryan Hall, who has failed to shake off a hamstring injury sustained in training.Goulding only got his chance at Wigan when Cameron Phelps picked up an injury in the second match and he went on to keep his place after discovering the best form of his life. A prolific scoring run brought him 29 tries from 24 Super League appearances, including one in his side's 20-10 Grand Final win over St Helens three weeks ago. "Someone got an injury which was unfortunate for them but it gave me a chance," he recalled. "It was a great thrill to win the Grand Final and this tops off a good year."Goulding was not included in McNamara's 37-strong squad for a mid-season get-together but his call-up completes a remarkable upturn in fortunes for a player who spent three months on loan to Salford last year. "It was probably what I needed at the time, to be playing Super League every week," he said. "I got some game time and the chance to build my confidence back a bit. Obviously it worked out for the best."McNamara has made two other changes to the side that drew 18-18 with New Zealand Maori last Saturday, both in the front row, where he accommodates the new captain, James Graham, and the experienced Wigan prop Stuart Fielden. Graham, who was rested for the warm-up match, takes over both the playing position and the captaincy from the injured Adrian Morley while Fielden is rewarded for a return to form with his first cap for four years.Fielden sat out the Maori game after arriving four days after the rest of the squad in order to attend the birth of his first child. "It was very tough watching the game on Saturday," he said. Fielden takes over from Darrell Griffin, who gets a place on the bench at the expense of his Huddersfield team-mate Eorl Crabtree.England: Widdop (Melbourne); Goulding (Wigan), Shenton (Castleford), Atkins (Warrington), Briscoe (Hull); Brown (Huddersfield), Tomkins; Fielden (both Wigan), Roby, Graham (both St Helens, capt), Ellis (Wests Tigers), Burgess (South Sydney), O'Loughlin (Wigan).
