Nothing could separate Great Britain and Canada in the first two rounds, with both teams tied on 105.00, but a brilliant third dive from Daley and Williams saw them gain a 4.8 point advantage over the Canadians.

From there Great Britain extended the gap over Canada, consistently placing second in their remaining rounds.

China's Hao Yang and Junjie Lian took gold in their Olympic debut, while Canada finished third.
