It’s the perfect start for Ellen Fife, taking a four shot lead from the first end of her must-win match against Daphne Arthur-Almond in the women’s bowls.

Fife is relying on England’s Katherine Rednall (who beat Fife in round 2) to lose one of her final two matches if she’s to progress to the semi-finals and have any hope of defending her gold medal.

But first things first, she must win right here, and so far so good!

Good start on the judo mat for the Aussies, with Joshua Katz winning his 60kg round of 16 clash against.

He scored an Ippon with 1:59 on the clock to progress.

Katz has a great story - he made his Olympic debut in 2016 as an 18-year-old.

He then missed selection for Tokyo due to injury, a fate which almost befell him for Paris as well.

He ruptured his ACL in January of 2024 but was still able to make the plane for those Paris Games, but lost in the first round - perhaps understandably.

Eve Elizabeth Bryson has lost to England's Sacha Hickey in women's 65kg semifinal via unanimous decision.

Bryson was looked a bit too fast for the Englishwoman early, particularly doing good body work, but the second and third were different stories.

Hickey, who had been throwing some pretty wild haymakers in the opener, found her range, her speed and her accuracy and landed some great power shots.

One particularly straightening left cross prompted the referee to give Bryson a standing eight count.

Both fighters received warnings for leaning in with the head but Hickey was a clear winner by the end.

Bryson has secured a bronze medal along with Scotland's Caitlin Rainey, while Hick will face Northern Ireland's Kaci Rock in the gold medal bout.

Delta Amidzovski is laughing as she hops out of the pit after her third attempt in the women’s long jump qualifying.

She doesn’t look happy with that. Maybe it’s because she leapt 15cm before the line, which just robs you of distance.

But it’s a good jump - 6.55m!

It's her best jump and puts her in fourth spot in the qualifying round.

Top 12 from both rounds make it through, so that should be enough, but we’ll have to wait and see.

Defending gold medalist, Aussie Ellen Fife is about to start against Daphne Arthur-Almond from the Falkland Islands.

Fife is sitting second in the group based on shot difference.

She really has to win here if she wants to progress.

Aussies pair Damien Delgado and James Reynolds will definitely play finals after winning the tie break against South Africa in the para men's pairs B6-B8.

They lost the first set but came from behind to win.

They're now undefeated — with four wins from four tie breaks.

These guys surely do know you can just win in straight sets without giving us a mini heart attack every tie breaker, right?

Maybe if they just treated every end like a tie breaker…

The Aussies scored four shots in the first end of the second, which looked to set them up well in the must-win second set for them.

But then South Africa instantly went and levelled it up at 4-4.

Man, these guys love putting us through the wringer.

South Africa’s Jarit James was phenomenal during end four.

I don’t think he could have bowled that any better if he tried 1,000 times. He tapped the jack so it stopped surrounded by South African bowls.

James Reynolds did enough to knock a few bowls into the gutter.

And then James had the chance to win it with his final bowl but he pushed it wide.

Aussies claim the second set 7-6.

We’re off to another tie breaker!

Did we expect anything else from the Aussie pair?

Delta Amidzovski’s first ever jump in the Commonwealth Games is 6.50 metres.

It’s off her personal best of 6.84 but it’s got her sitting in third after everyone’s first jump.

There’s lots more jumping left to do.

Hopefully Amidzovski can find her best.

Melanie Woods has won gold and set a Games record in front of her home crowd in the re-run of the women’s 1500m T54 final. 

That feels fitting after she won gold the first time the event was run.

Woods led from the front and never looked back.

Noemi Alphonse from Mauritius and Aussie Eliza Ault-Connell — who were both knocked out of contention by a crash in the first final — joined Woods as a little pack a long way ahead of the rest of the field.

But Ault-Connell, who won silver eight years ago, couldn’t keep up the pace and fell away with one and a half laps to go.

Ault-Connell finishes with 🥉. Alphonse with 🥈.

Fellow Aussie Mikaela Dingley finished in sixth. That’ll hurt after she temporarily had a bronze medal there, before the re-run.

Both Aussies set season best times.

Brilliant ride from Molly McGill, the BMX-convert setting a new personal best time of 10.697 seconds. That's an average speed of 67.309km/h.

She was only 0.005 seconds behind Paris Olympic champion Ellesse Andrews of New Zealand and qualified in 10th place.

Commonwealth Games debutant Liliya Tatarinoff also rode a personal best, riding 10.816 seconds to put herself 12th.

Alessia McCaig, national champion in both the sprint and the keirin the last three years, raced around the 200m in 10.677 seconds, good enough for eighth.

Emma Finucane, fresh off her gold medal in the team sprint for Wales, qualified fastest with a blistering 10.322 seconds, an average speed of 69.754km/h.

That's a new Commonwealth Games record.

There’s plenty on this morning at the Scotstoun Stadium.

Australians Eliza Ault-Connell and Mikaela Dingley will race in the re-run of the women’s 1,500m T54 final.

There was a chaotic mess of appeals and re-appeals after the first final, in which Dingley was eventually awarded bronze and in which Ault-Connell was involved in a nasty crash.

Officials decided to just race it again.

We’ve got 19-year-old Delta Amidzovski making her Games debut in the long jump qualifying. She won gold in the event at the Youth Commonwealth Games in 2023 and jumped her PM earlier this year.

And she’s joined by two-time defending Commonwealth Games silver medalist in the event and Australian record holder Brooke Buschkuehl.

We’ve got the Aussies running in heat 1 of the mixed 4x400m relay qualifying. They’ve run the fourth fastest time in the field this season.

Mikaela Dingley will be back in action again, this time joined by Aimee Fisher in the women’s 400m T54.

And then we’ll have Hull and Davies receiving their medals as the evening session kicks off.

It's great to see fans travelling from all around the world to support their athletes at the Games.

And it's also good to see even the Poms struggle to come up with a good reason to be English.

The women's individual sprint is first up on the velodrome.

This is qualifying, so each of the 22 riders on the start list will complete a flying 200 metres.

There are three Aussies in action: Molly McGill, Liliya Tatarinoff and three-time reigning Australian national champion, Alessia McCaig.

The rider to watch is Wales's Emma Finucane.

She is the world record holder in the 200 flying sprint, has a gold medal from Paris, is a three-time world champion and, if you needed any more information, she is also the partner of Matt Richardson.

The top 16 riders will qualify for 1/8 finals, which is where the two-person battles get underway.

Before we head to the Sir Chris Hoy velodrome, let's recap yesterday, shall we?

All the focus leading into the Games was on whether former Australian-turned Englishman Matt Richardson would come back and haunt the riders he once rode with to Olympic, Commonwealth and World success.

In the end, he wasn't even there, the victim of a truly egregious barge during a keirin race in Japan that ruled him out of the Games.

But that didn't matter, as the Aussie sprinters claimed victory over their deepest and most bitter rivals, England, in the team sprint.

It wasn't all good for Australia though, as the Olympic champion team pursuit squad were beaten by England in what is considered the blue riband event of the track.

That came after British world champion Josh Charlton threw up over his team-mate's bike after the qualifying run in which he came detached from the team and limped home.

He was subbed out, the English attempting a new line up on the fly.

And they prevailed in a thrilling final, sweet revenge for British silver medallists from Paris, Charlie Tanfield and Ethan Vernon.

Anyway, enough about England's triumph, check out Jon Healy's recanting of the team sprint to get you in the mood to pedal the boards.

Damien Delgado and James Reynolds are on the green and ready to bowl in their fourth match of the Games.

They’re undefeated and taking on South Africans Gareth Rees-Gibbs and Jarid James in the men’s para pairs B6-B8.

There’s an interesting tussle underway for second place on the ladder at the moment.

England won three gold yesterday to leapfrog into second place ahead of the Canadians.

New Zealand also shot up yesterday, adding two golds, two silvers and three bronzes to their tally.

It goes without saying as to where the Aussies are...

And here is a list of all our medals so far.

Wedlock and Teys continue their undefeated run with a come-from-behind win over Chad Nathan and Liam Hill from Tonga.

They won the tie break 2-0.

It was a brave fight from the Tongans — particularly 17-year-old Hill who performed well under what was immense pressure in the tie break. It wasn't enough for him this time, but I'm sure he'll be back in the future.

Don't go anywhere — next up we have Damien Delgado and James Reynolds, also undefeated at the Games so far, taking on South Africa in the para men's pairs B6-B8.

Aussie pair of Corey Wedlock and Aaron Teys have taken the second set 4-1 to force a tie break against Tonga.

Six bowls each nation to decide a winner!

No time to muck around for the Aussies in the men's pair, kicking off their match against Tonga at 8.30am Glasgow time.

Aussies Corey Wedlock and Aaron Teys — currently second in their group and undefeated — are taking on bottom of the group Tonga.

The Tongans took the first set 7-2.

Work to do for the Aussies.

Hello everyone and welcome to yet another day of exciting Commonwealth Games action.

We've got another packed night of action for you from the place formerly known as the  Second City of the Empire, featuring more cycling, more athletics, more bowls, more boxing and, for the first time this Games, some judo!

There are only three more days of competition left, incredibly, so it's time to squeeze yourselves into a replica Team Nigeria cycling skin suit, put on some Rose Davies replica running spikes and dig deep for the final sprint.
