Elizabeth Bird from England claims steeplechase silver
Bird overhauled shattered Ugandan Peruth Chemutai on the last bend and, urged on by the crowd, powered over the line.
Nathan Maguire and Daniel Sidbury secured gold and silver in the men's T53/54 1500m title.
Triple jumper Naomi Metzger and shot putter Scott Lincoln also won bronzes.
Bird, 27, seemed to be competing for bronze, but when Chemutai clattered into a hurdle, she sensed her chance and started gaining ground.
"This crowd was amazing," said Bird. "Those last two laps, when I was trying to close the gap, I was using their energy, so thank you to everyone who came here.
"I wish I had started moving sooner because I was so close to the gold, but I will take a silver."
Kenya's Jackeline Chepkoech claimed the gold in a new Commonwealth best of nine minutes 15.680 seconds, while England's Aimee Pratt finished fourth.
Maguire joined his fiancee Hannah Cockroft in winning gold - she claimed the women's 100m T33/34 title on Wednesday - and then revealed what the occasion meant to him.
"When I was growing up, there was no representation or TV coverage of any Para-sport, so we are on primetime TV, showing the kids what they could be in the future; that’s so important."
Metzger twice broke her personal best to secure a medal, leaping 14.32 with her first jump and then 14.39 with her third.
Jamaica's Shanieka Ricketts set a new Commonwealth record of 14.94m to take the gold.
Lincoln, a bricklayer, powered his fifth throw 20.57m to claim bronze in a shot put competition dominated by New Zealand's Tom Walsh.
