Greg Rutherford became the first British athlete to win gold in the long-jump since 1964, while boxer LukeCampbell won gold in the bantamweight division.
Ireland's John Joe Nevin and Great Britain's LukeCampbell will battle for the gold in the bantam 56-kilogram event Saturday night after winning through their respective semifinals.
Victories for Nicola Adams, LukeCampbell, Tom Stalker and Scott Cardle put the home squad 4-2 in front at the interval but, after Evans' loss, three consecutive victories for Meng Fanlong, Babacar Camara and Sean Turner levelled the scores.
