New Zealand complete Group B with a thumping 6-1 win over Malaysia that confirms them as group winners ahead of England, who are all but certain to face world champions Australia in the semi-finals on Saturday. The Kiwis must wait for the winner of this afternoon's crunch match between India and South Africa, which begins at 16:00 BST.

Kenya's Suleiman Kangangi was the first man off the start ramp at 12:30 BST. And his day is over after a little over quarter of an hour.

After his bike developed a problem, it looked like a pedal issue, he pulled a replacement off the top of his support car. That one lasted even less time. His cleets don't want to click in and, after a final stop in the Glasgow suburbs, he calls it a day, climbing into the car to retire from the race with his head in his hands.

Other names that jump off the starting list include Wales' Team Sky stalwart and two-time Olympic team pursuit gold medallist Geraint Thomas (14:18 BST).

England's Alex Dowsett (14:27 BST) a former team-mate of Thomas at Team Sky, now rides for Movistar, but missed out on the Tour de France this year with an infection.

"I won't be happy unless I'm on the top step of the podium," he said on Wednesday.

Australia's Luke Durbridge might be the main threat to the Home Nations riders. He gets going at 14:26 BST.

The first of 60 competitors in the men's time trial is out of the hutch and running.

Kenya's Suleiman Kangangi is sent on his way round the 38.4km course by a sizeable crowd at Glasgow Green.

They are not really here for him though.

Hometown hero and defending champion David Millar is the last man to go and will roll off the ramp at 14:28 BST.

England gymnast Max Whitlock:, external Huge congrats for yesterday girls: Claudia Fragapane, Ruby Harrold, Hannah Whelan. AMAZING.

"Sam Oldham, who was part of England's gold-medal-winning men's gymnastics team, will not compete in today's floor final. The Olympian, 20, sustained an ankle ligament injury while performing a 'Draselescu' vault during the team competition and will return home to begin his rehabilitation."

England's all-around champion Max Whitlock and the man he beat to gold, Scotland's Daniel Keatings, will compete however. The boys are on the floor from 15:00 BST.

Women's points race champion Laura Trott on Twitter:, external Whey! Lucy Villumsen you absolute beauty! Hats off to Emma Pooley as well, both amazing tt'ers! Looking foward to riding your last race with you.

Trott rides at Wiggle Honda with Villumsen and will compete alongside Pooley for England in Sunday's road race.

England's 11th seed Kelly Sibley is up against it in her third round match with Ye Lin of Singapore. Sibley trails 11-4 10-8.

However Wales' Stephen Jenkins is well in control against Curtis Humphreys of Trinidad and Tobago, leading 11-3 11-7 5-7 in their first round singles match.

The match between England's Joanna Drinkhall and Wales' Naomi Owen is about to get under way on table one and will be the focus of the BBC Sport live stream.

Joanna is the wife of Paul Drinkhall, who has been a key part of England's men's team.

Earlier we asked whether you thought Australia's Olympic 100m hurdles champion Sally Pearson was wrong to race in London rather attend a pre-Games training camp.

Rob Edwards,on Twitter:, external Eric Hollingsworth is out of a job for speaking his mind. Harsh if you ask me. Must be more to it than a loose word. Pearson and Hollingsworth must have had words prior to this and that appears to be the crux of the matter.

Interested to get your thoughts on this one. 81111 is the number to text in on or your can type your fury on Twitter via #bbcglasgow2014,, external on the BBC Sport Facebook page, external or on Google+., external

Earlier today England beat Scotland 13-12 to win bronze in the open triples B6/B7/B8 at Kelvingrove. The English trio of Bob Love, David Fisher and Paul Brown have been speaking to BBC Sport.

Brown: "It was a bit of a hectic last few ends but we pulled out a marvellous effort at the last. I am still coming down from it. I cannot believe it. This is the complete highlight of my career so far. It will be with me for a long time."

Fisher: "We kept digging and did not give in. I was unlucky to lose out on a medal in Manchester in 2002, but this makes up for it."

Love: "It's not about the disability it's about the bowling. That is what counts here and I'm over the moon. We might have one or two drinks tonight, who knows?"

James Bale:, external Doubles squash is the weirdest event I have ever watched. Singles squash is mad enough.

Scotland duo Stuart Crawford and Greg Lobban have taken the first game of their last-16 doubles meeting with India's Saurav Ghosal and Harinder Pal Sandhu.

Might the Indian duo's decision to wear more conventional protective specs rather than the welder's masks that the Scots have opted for be behind it? Probably not, but you can catch the rest of the action, sporting and sartorial on the BBC live stream.

An Australian weightlifter who won a bronze medal at the Commonwealth Games has been held by police following an assault on a Welsh athlete.

Francois Etoundi, 29, is due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff court.

The alleged assault on the unnamed athlete is said to have taken place at the athletes' village in Glasgow at about 06:00 on Wednesday.

England's Joanna Rowsell, who finished 13th in the women's time trial, speaking to BBC Sport: "It was tough, we practised the course yesterday and the wind was very strong, today was less windy but the rain poured down at the start, then was stopping and starting.

"I gave it my best but there you go. I was always targeting the track gold rather than two bronzes and that paid off. But it was a good experience and it's been good supporting Emma Pooley in the village this week."

Rowsell, 25, won Commonwealth gold in the 3,000m individual pursuit in the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome on Friday.

New Zealand's time trial gold medallist Linda Villumsen, speaking to BBC Sport: "I have been working for so long, every year at the Olympics or the world championships and am always nearly there but missing something. Today finally everything worked out from start to finish. I can't describe the feeling."

Villumsen finished second in the time trial at Delhi 2010, fourth in the time trial at London 2012, second in the world championship time trials in 2011 and 2013. Hard to begrudge her a trip to the top step.
