Unbelievable strength and control needed here and Clint Purnell has shown remarkable endurance in competing in each of the three finals today.

The Welshman is likely to finish empty handed though as Daniel Purvis leads and some big guns to come.

A cracker of an opening semi-final as England's Danny Talbot finishes second, almost level with Jamaica's Jason Livermore, to qualify for tonight's 200m final. Talbot said before that was going to take inspiration from close friend Adam Gemili winning 100m silver. Now he is about 20secs away from emulating his mate.

Wales were hopeful of nicking a medal through Darius Jokarzadeh in the battle of the giants, but unfortunately he could only finish fourth. He lifted 361kg - the equivalent of about five normal-sized blokes - which was 27kg adrift of bronze.

England sprinter Jodie Williams tells 5 live after reaching the 200m final: "I think that was by the far the toughest semi so I had to go for it. It was great to have Blessing Okagbare to chase. I always leave things late, but I got the job done. The legs are feeling good, I feel relaxed and I'm in the best shape of my life. Hopefully I can do something in the final."

"Sadly that's the end of Dominique Duncan and her blue lipstick and purple hair after she was eliminated!"

And so to the last final of the day in the gymnastics as eight contest the 'strongman's event'.

England's Max Whitlock already has a gold and a silver to add to his double gold from yesterday but another medal here would be a long shot in one of his weaker events.

Daniel Purvis leads us off for Scotland.

England's Jack Laugher just oozes confidence at the moment. Yesterday's 1m champion isn't even looking at the scoreboards between the rounds, he knows it's good.

With a first 3m dive almost 10 points higher than anyone else - it's his gold to lose.

"Bianca Williams just goes out there and runs! She enjoys the experience and seems more and more confident with each race. This young lady runs like a seasoned athlete with a beautiful technique."

So England have already got two representatives in the final. Can they make it a hat-trick? They can.

Bianca Williams was a surprise fastest qualifier for these semi-finals, but shows it was no fluke. The 20-year-old runs a brilliant bend and streaks clear to win the third semi-final in 23.17secs. Top stuff.

"We spoke about the performance of the England women yesterday and how well they did. We wondered if they could follow it up again in the semi-finals, and they have answered that question. Anyika Onoura gave herself a lot to do, like Jodie Williams, but she stayed relaxed and came through."

Scotland cyclist David Millar:, external "That was amazing. Felt like a Tour de France stage, only better as everybody was Scottish. Well done Alex Dowsett that was a phenomenal ride!"

Millar finished eighth in the men's road cycling time trials, won by England's Alex Dowsett.

Another English athlete sticks her name down on the startlist for the 200m final. Anyika Onoura finishes second behind Jamaica's Schillonie Calvert, who crosses in 22.97, to progress from heat two.

"You saw again there why Blessing Okagbare is the one to beat in the 200m. Jodie Williams left herself so much to do, but she had the strength, relaxation and confidence to get second. That was a superb performance from Jodie and she deserves her place in the final and could get herself on that podium. Jodie has to believe anything is possible."

England's Jodie Williams makes a late burst down the straight to take second and book her spot in the showpiece. But she is nowhere near cleaning out Nigeria's Blessing Okagbare. The specialist long-jumper has turned her attentions to sprinting and, boy, what a move that looks. She hardly looks out of breath as she crosses in 22.43 seconds.

We are a third of the way through the women's triple gold medal match in the lawn bowls. After six ends, England hold a commanding 13-1 lead over Australia.

Eyes are also glued to the wet Hampden track. The Women's 200m semi-finals are about to kick off with new UK champion, and former World youth champion, Jodie Williams in the first of three heats. First two ladies to dip over the line, plus the two fastest losers, go into tonight's final.

The first event to get under way in the evening's athletics events is the men's discus final. Australian Benn Harradine starts as favourite, even though he wasn't one of the three men to achieve the automatic qualifying distance in qualification. India's Vikas Shive Gowda did with a throw of 64.32m and is likely to challenge for the top medal.

There is a strong Home Nations presence with Brett Morse from Wales, Jersey's Zane Duquemin, England's 2010 bronze medallist Carl Myerscough and Scotland's Angus McInroy.
