Ollie Bleddyn and Conor Leahy, in their golden bikes to signify them as Olympic champions in Paris, were at the back of the team to start.

James Moriarty and Blake Agnoletto are the freshies in the team since then, but they were 1 second down on England at the half way point.

They were 0.9 seconds behind the English at the 3,000m mark.

But with 500m to go the Aussies trailed by just under 0.3 seconds.

Leahy looked like he was going to drop off the back, but he held on and managed to beat England by over 2 seconds - averaging 62.943km/h.

The reason for that late blow out?

Josh Charlton of England dropped off the back of the group with 500 metres remaining and that badly impacted the team's cohesion and speed.

The men's javelin qualifiers are playing out now in Scotstoun Stadium, and Aussie Cameron McEntyre has just attempted his second attempt.

McEntyre made some slight adjustments after learning from his first throw of 72.43m, achieving a greater distance of 78.91 on the second go!

He'll have a crack at the third attempt soon, let's see if he can push up the ranks a bit further and qualify for tomorrow's final!

Next up we have Corey Wedlock and Aaron Teys in the men’s pairs against Lal Chand Prasad and Surendra Prasad from Fiji.

The Aussies have won one from one.

In great news for Ellen Fife after her victory just now, the only woman above her in the section has just lost.

England’s Katherine Rednall won the first 6-5. But Canadian Kelly McKerihen claimed the second 8-5, forcing a tie break.

McKerihen was able to win the tiebreak.

It really opens the group up. Now Fife, McKerihen and Rednall have all won two, lost one.

It means it could easily come down to shots for/against.

That is very, very good from Jess Gallagher and pilot Jacqueline Mengler-Mohr.

They have beaten England's Sophie Unwin and her pilot, Anna Whitworth-Hay in the first of their best of three tandem sprint semifinals.

It was an aggressive match up, with the Aussies forced to close the door hard on England with a lap to go.

There was something of an upset in the other semi as well, as New Zealand, the fourth-fastest qualifiers, beat England's other pair.

Shows that speed isn't everything in the sprint - you have to be tactically right too - and the Aussies and Kiwis were there, taking the race out from the front.

Defending gold medalist Ellen Fife has defeated Abbey Andrieux in two sets 12-5, 8-4 to keep the dream alive in the women's singles.

Fife looked impeccable out there. And she took the chance to capitalise and improve her shots for/against.

She now sits second in the section behind Katherine Rednall who is currently in action and took the first set against Canadian Kelly McKerihen.

The men competing in tonight's 110kg final at the SEC Armadillo will have three attempts each at both lifts.

They started with the snatch, which involves picking up the barbell with a wide grip and raising it overhead in one fluid motion.

The blokes have just finished off these attempts, with Barredo ready to take on the clean and jerk next.

In this lift, each athlete will bring the bar to chest height (clean), pause, then drive the weight overhead (jerk) with locked elbows.

For the clean and jerk attempt to count, the competitor must hold steady until the buzzer sounds.

The weights increase as the event continues, so athletes will need to be strategic about how much they attempt to lift in each stage.

New Zealand looked for a moment that they would be able to overhaul the Australian team, then the gap opened up a bit to back over a second, but finally a surging final lap sees the Kiwis finish just 0.2 seconds behind the Aussies.

Have to say, I am very disappointed in Wales's efforts there. I expected them to be right in the mix, but they were a very long way off.

On his third attempt at the snatch, Ridge Barredo managed to get the 162kg weight overhead but came off-balance and dropped the barbell before he could extend into a standing position.

The weight was 1kg heavier than he achieved at the Commonwealth Games qualifier, back in April.

England set a new Commonwealth Games record in the snatch tonight, but Fiji's Taniela Tuisuva Rainibogi soon overtook it to set the record at 170kg!

The men's 110kg weightlifting finalists have finished all of their snatch attempts, now we're moving onto the clean and jerk.

Good work from the Aussie quartet, Sophie Edwards, Claudia Marcks, Alyssa Polites and Felicity Wilson-Haffenden.

They have recorded the fastest time so far with just New Zealand left to ride, so will finish in the top two and will compete in the gold medal race later today.

Marcks led the team off and then dropped out just after the 2km mark.

Edwards looked like she was really having to dig deep to stay with the pace of the team, but the full-time medical student and national individual pursuit champion held on to record a sensational final time.

Last bowl of the fifth end, with Jersey's Abbey Andrieux up by one shot, Ellen Fife’s bowl glides around the outside and lightly kisses the jack to steal the end.

It’s just simply TOO GOOD.

And that’s got to crush the spirits of Andrieux, who now needs to score six in two ends to force a tie-break.

Fife leads 7-2 in the second set.

She's doing well Mike!

Fife leads 6-2 in the second set with three ends to play.

She hasn't conceded any big scores - just a shot here or there - throughout the entire match.

C'mon Aussie!

Ridge Barredo returned to the weightlifting stage with a much stronger second attempt at the snatch.

Just a little shaky under that 155kg barbell, the Aussie lifter drives it overhead and gets three green lights from the judges!

Barredo will have a go at snatching more than 160kg snatch next.

A couple of the men competing in the 110kg weightlifting final have already been ruled out tonight, with both Vanuatu and Cameroon recording a "did not finish" result after failing their snatch attempts.

Ellen Fife has claimed the first set 12-5 in the women's bowls.

Four times she scored three shots in an end. Her grouping was immaculate. She seemed to just replicate the same bowl over and over and over.

If you’re going to score, score big.

In contrast, Jersey’s Abbey Andrieux struggled to get her line and length right.

We've already had Aussies Damien Delgado and James Reynolds defeat Singapore in the para bowls men’s pairs B6-B8.

Ellen Fife is partway through the first set in the women's singles.

Straight up after this we’ve got Corey Wedlock and Aaron Teys taking on Fiji in the men’s pairs.

Ellen Fife will front up again for her round four clash against Connie-Leigh Rixon from Malta at 1.25am AEST tomorrow.

Then we have Aussies Louise Hoskins and Serena Bonnell in the para women’s pairs B6-B8 at 5.40am AEST tomorrow.

Aussie weightlifter Ridge Barredo is up now in the men's 110kg final!

The Sydney-sider has just attempted his first snatch lift, but couldn't quite get the bar overhead.

He's taking another crack at the 155kg now.

In a social media post made in Glasgow earlier this week, Barredo said "all the work is done" — now it's time to rumble.

Has he got what it takes? Time will tell!

More time trials here, as we hit the first of the endurance events on the program.

This is a team race where four riders work together to produce the fastest time over 4,000 metres.

Riders will take turns at the front to take the wind, and only three riders need to finish to register a time, so you may see one rider do a longer turn on the front and then swing off.

The best teams will use the camber of the track to swing up off the front and rejoin the back.

There are five teams in this event.

The fastest two winning teams race for the gold and silver medals, and the third- and fourth-fastest teams race for the bronze medal.

Good performance from Jess Gallagher and pilot Jacqueline Mengler-Mohr, finishing with a time of 11.042.

They have not gone quite as fast as the English pair Sophie Unwin and her pilot, Anna Whitworth-Hay, who set a time of 10.890, which was then bettered by Elizabeth Jordan and Sylvia Misztal, who rode 10.870 with a phenomenal back end.

New Zealand's Emma Foy and Jessie Hodges qualified fourth.

Gallagher and Mengler-Mohr will face off against Unwin and Whitworth-Hay in their semifinal.

Returning to Scotstoun Stadium tonight, we've got Cameron McEntyre flying the green and gold flag in javelin!

The men will be looking to qualify for the finals, which are scheduled for tomorrow.

Our 27-year-old Sydney-sider comes to Glasgow with a personal best of 85.73m — McEntyre recorded that PB just this season, so he's in fine form to compete in Glasgow tonight.

The javelin qualifiers will kick off in about 20 minutes.

Ellen Fife with two gems of a bowl in the first end.

She takes the first end to lead 3-0.

Strong start. If she bowls like that, she’ll be unbeatable.
