The rhythm of the race has changed for the first time in a long time.

Australian Nathan Haas scoots off the front of the peloton, changing the balance of power among those he leaves behind.

The onus is no longer on his team-mates to make the pace, as they have been for most of the race. Instead New Zealand come to the fore.

Haas has only eaten 17 seconds into Kennaugh as it stands.

"Has Australia's perspective changed on win or bust in sport? They were criticised for not winning enough gold medals at London 2012 and are set to finish a distant second behind England in the medal table. This is what the 'smiling assassin' goal shooter of the victorious netball team, Caitlin Bassett, had to say on the matter.

'There's no pressure on us to return to the top of the Commonwealth table,' said the 6ft 3in player.

'You can throw around gold medals and world titles, but at the end of the day it's just about putting on a good performance. Winning comes in there in terms of funding, but it's not our only focus.'"

After another tightly-contested game it is England's James Willstrop and Daryl Selby who win men's doubles bronze after beating Scotland's Alan Clyne and Harry Leitch 11-8 11-7.

It is Selby's first Commonwealth Games medal, although Willstrop won silver in the men's singles.

98km done, seven out of 12 laps in the bag. That is the good news for Peter Kennaugh.

The bad news is that there are still another 70km and five laps to go.

The leader's advantage is still as good as stationary at 1:49.

"On the whole, Pete is doing a solo time trial and that is not necessarily an event he is known for. He is just absolutely heart and soul out there on the roads in Glasgow. I would love for this to work out.

"It would be one of the greatest cycling Commonwealth Games stories of all time. What he is doing only a small amount of cyclists would be able to do. His concentration around every corner, every pothole will have to be impeccable because these conditions are treacherous."

Worry not England fans, your place at the top of the medal table was already assured before the start of today.

Even if the Aussies had won all the golds they were in for on the final day it was too little too late to move to the top of the shop.

Peter Kennaugh's lead is being calculated at 1:49 with 75km left.

There are only about 25 riders in the peloton. Each one of each one of them is soaked to the bone. The rain has gone beyond torrential.

Like eskimos with snow, maybe Glaswegians have 70 different words for rain. This must be top of even their scale.

The team cars all have the headlights on as they pick their way through the gloom and puddles behind the riders.

Mark Cavendish, in the Isle of Man vehicle, is in the ear of leader Peter Kennaugh telling him that he can do it and handing him some energy gels to feed the muscles as well as the mind.

Peter Kennaugh completes his sixth lap - marking off the halfway stage - in 2:05:06.

And the gap to Michael Hepburn of Australia on the front of the peloton is up at 1:55.

The conditions are getting biblical out there. As well as sheeting rain, there is a fair wind whipping around the course, coming at the riders from all different directions as they make their way round the twists and turns.

Just over 80km to go.

Australia netball player Laura Geitz, speaking to BBC Sport: "It's been 12 long years since we won the gold. It sounds cliched but we stuck to the game-plan and came out with a great win. We are very happy with that."

"Fair play to Australia, they came out very strong, they were clinical and made very few errors. Any time New Zealand threw the ball away Australia were there to capitalise on it and Caitlin Thwaites never looked like missing a shot, she was my woman of the match today."

Leader Peter Kennaugh is wincing and gasping a little as he climbs the inclines. And well he might after so long on his own at the front.

His lead contracts for first time in a long time, nipping back a second to 1:50.

A shade under 90km to go and Kennaugh's team-mates Elliot Baxter and Andrew Roche have folded out of the race. They can probably do more good cheering on from the finish straight than they can riding back in pack.

"Like all great Aussie sports teams of the past, this netball unit know how to turn the screw when on top. The third quarter was when the crucial damage was done as they outscored the 2010 Delhi champions 15-8.

"Australia's goal shooter Caitlin Bassett was near infallible again - scoring 49 of the points, with a 92% success rate. As for the Kiwis, maybe they were still feeling the effects of winning that last-goal decider against England. It will be short odds that these two meet again on the Gold Coast in four years."

Australia made it look easy in the end - they have taken gold from former holders New Zealand with a 58-40 win at the Hydro.

Josh Day:, external Brave ride, this is one day racing - tactics are different to stage racing. A wet, technical course - plays into his hands.

Helena Carr: , externalThink Peter Kennaugh is channelling his inner Jens Voigt with this race!

German Voigt, 42, competed in the Tour de France for an 17th consecutive year this season, and has a reputation as being something of a hard man.

Totum:, external The Aussies said it would be a bunch sprint as they would ensure it would be. Arrogance? Go Peter Kennaugh (or David Millar) (or Geraint Thomas).

Isle of Man cyclist Mark Cavendish, speaking about his recovery from injury to BBC Sport: "I've been on the road bike training hard this last week but I still don't know my programme yet. We will see in the next few weeks how strong I am. I was on super form for the Tour de France and I've always done that so I don't know what my form will be like without it. I've got good movement in my shoulder, it's not fully recovered but I am super happy with it."

On a potential return to track cycling: "I don't ride for Team Sky so I can't just go backwards and forwards between the road and the track - that was part and parcel of being with the Sky team. Ultimately I'd like to return but I'm a professional bike rider. I love my team and they and the road have to come first."

England women's netball player Kadeen Corbin:, external "Words can't describe how it feels right now. Just very numb. Being at the Commonwealth Games has given not just me but the team a massive stepping stone for what more is to come. We have shown over the tournament how fearless and united we can be and trust me World Cup 2015 doesn't know what is to come."

England's James Willstrop and Daryl Selby take the first game of the men's doubles bronze medal play-off 11-9 against Scotland's Alan Clyne and Harry Leitch.

Clyne had a moment of drama during the game when a follow-through from Willstrop accidently sent his eye guard flying off his head.

But after some running repairs, Clyne was soon back on court.
