Dean won in a time of 1:44.22 with Scott was just four hundredths of a second behind him. Fernando Scheffer of Brazil took bronze.

South Korea's Hwang Sun-woo was under the world record time at the 100m mark but faded badly, ending up seventh, as the British pair powered towards a spectacular finish. The 21-year-old Dean's gold was Britain's second in the Tokyo pool after Adam Peaty's success in the 100m breaststroke on Monday.
