Current top the leaderboard after 20 of the scheduled 39 events in the four-team contest.

Toronto Titans, who like the Tokyo-aligned franchise are making their debut, sit third, with Aqua Centurions a distant fourth.

Los Angeles Current have 262.5 points, Tokyo 248.5, Toronto 208.5 and Aqua 156.5.

American Ryan Murphy, the winner of three Olympic gold medals at Rio 2016, has amassed 37 points alone.

Béryl Gastaldello of France has 30.5 points and Abbey Weitzeil - a two-time medallist at Rio 2016 for the United States - has 20.5.

All three swim for Current, and are the three best-scoring athletes after day one of the contest.

Murphy won the men's 200 metres backstroke and 50m backstroke, as well as helping his team triumph in the men's 4x100m medley.

Ireland's Shane Ryan clocked the same time as Murphy - 23.06 seconds - in the 50m race on a notable day for the Toronto swimmer.

While placing seventh in the men's 100m butterfly in 50.23, Ryan set a new Irish short course record.

A further 19 races are scheduled tomorrow.

The ISL is taking place entirely in Hungary due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Los Angeles entered this match with two points, having placed third in their opening fixture, while Aqua Centurions were last in their first match.
