A hushed Hampden air is pierced by the starter's gun as Trinidad's Jehue Gordon and South Africa's Cornel Fredericks sling it out down the back straight. Jamaica's Annsert Whyte crashes to the track as he heads towards the line, and Fredericks holds off Gordon with a strong finish.

World champion Jehue Gordon is the class act in this final but will the fact that he has focused more on his university studies than running this year undermine his hopes of gold? England's Richard Yates will be one of the men hoping that is the case. England's Niall Flannery will now also race following the disqualification of Jamaican Roxroy Cato.

"Reminder going out to the crowd about switching off the flash from their cameras when divers are competing. We don't want a repeat of London 2012 - where Tom Daley needed a re-dive and subsequently developed a 'phobia' over what became known as his 'demon dive'."

Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson is dishing out the Women's Para-Sport 1500m T54 medal winners - a ceremony which has an added significance for her. Baroness Tanni is the coach and mentor of England's bronze medallist Jade Jones. She slings the medal around the neck of a grinning Jones, before the pair show a heartfelt hug and kiss.

"Well there's another for the outtake reel. Australia's 2008 Olympic silver medallist and Delhi Commonwealth champion Melissa Wu draws gasps from the crowd as she gets her opening 'forward 3.5 somersault' routine completely wrong. She lands feet first and scores a rare complete zero for a failed routine."

"The proud Maasai warrior David Rudisha needed different weapons for this event because in London he didn't come under pressure, but here he did. It looked as though Nijel Amos was trapped, but when they came on the straight Amos was determined to beat the great man. Rudisha wasn't able to do it tonight because he wasn't fit enough. Amos has beaten a man who he admires so much."

What a humble man Nijel Amos is. The Botswanan is quick to pay tribute to David Rudisha rather than praise his own performance. "I am so happy but David Rudisha will always be the hero of 800m," he tells BBC Sport.

Kenya's Rudisha adds: "The race was good, but I found the last 100m difficult. My preparation hasn't been great. Nijel is a tough competitor. We ran a tactical race but he was very good."

You can't beat a good old bromance.

While Nijel Amos rightly grabs all the 800m headlines, look a little further down the finishing list and you'll see a superb Scottish performance. Guy Learmonth smashes his personal best to finish sixth in a high-class field with a time of 1:46.69.

Tamerlan Tagziev beats Andrew Dick of Nigeria and the gold is his to treasure.

"Three English divers to look out for in the women's 10m platform final - Olympians Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow, as well as rising star Victoria Vincent. At 13 she is the youngest athlete at the Glasgow Commonwealths but that won't phase her - she's inspired by Tom Daley and has a similar level of confidence at the same age."

Despite British record holder Shara Proctor's tearful exit (see 19:33), there is still some Home Nations interest in the long jump. English duo Jazmin Sawyers and Lorraine Ugan are both capable of a podium finish and are each within striking distance after three attempts.

"So it's back to the netball hall at the Scottish Exhibition Conference Centre to see if Scotland can finish their campaign on a high against Trinidad and Tobago.

"I can exclusively reveal that Usain Bolt is...not here. The seat he occupied during his surprise visit on Wednesday to cheer on Jamaica lies empty. But there is still a healthy crowd present eager to clap, encourage and shout the hosts to victory.

"This classification match might only be to decide who finishes ninth. But try telling this crowd it doesn't matter. The hosts lead 21-12 in the second quarter and there's Scotland flags everywhere each time they increase their tally."

The men's semi-final line-up has been finalised after India beat South Africa 5-2 to seal their place in the last four.

India will play New Zealand at 12:15 BST on Saturday, after England face Australia at 10:00.

"It's been a difficult week for Botswana here in Glasgow but Nijel Amos has given them a huge lift with that performance. That's now the David Rudisha of old, and not even the man of the last few weeks. Amos is a huge talent and he's delivered."

What on Earth happened here! David Rudisha opens his stride around the final bend and looks certain to wrap up the Commonwealth gold. But wait. Botswana's teeth-gritting Nijel Amos, who looked in danger of being boxed, produces a perfectly-timed lung-bursting sprint from 70m to nick a thrilling contest. Wow.

David Rudisha takes control of the race from the starting gun, but it is a steady opening lap of 52.71m.

David Rudisha was one of the stars on London 2012 with his world record beating run in the men's 800m. Will he be one of the stars of Glasgow? We're about to find out. Botswana's Olympic silver medallist Nijel Amos is Rudisha's main threat. Scotland's Guy Learmonth and England's Michael Rimmer also compete.
