The men's shot put is underway in the centre of the Hampden Park, leaving a few craters for the Scottish football team to dodge the next time they get use of the national stadium.

Leading the way is Tom Walsh of New Zealand, lobbing the cannonball out to 20.96m, Jamaica's Danyne O'Richards in second with 20.94m.

England's Scott Rider is well down the standings with a best of 18.12m.

We've not heard the Welsh national anthem too many times at the Commonwealth Games but there are tears as Jazz Carlin receives her 800m freestyle gold. And then comes a huge smile. Wales has a new sporting hero.

"Richard Thompson has looked out of sorts from the word go. He doesn't look like the man who has run as quick as he has this year. Kemar Bailey-Cole is a tall guy, but he has a nice style and will be a danger in the final."

Jamaica's Kemar Bailey Cole takes the express route to the final, winning the third semi-final in 10.00 seconds, the fastest time of any of those through to the gold-medal race.

St Kitts and Nevis' Antoine Adams beats Richard Thompson with a well-timed dip for a time of 10.18 seconds.

Thompson, who ran 9.82 seconds earlier this year, just has not come to the party at all and misses the final.

Richard Kilty of England is down in sixth in a time of 10.27.

England sprinter Adam Gemili tells BBC Sport after reaching the 100m final: "I just need to recover between now and the final. I made it a bit harder for myself with the start I had but I came through. I try to relax as much as I can. I like to enjoy the crowd but as soon as I get on the blocks I just get my focus."

The third and final semi-final features two-time Olympic silver medallist Richard Thompson of Trinidad and Tobago as well as England's world indoor champion Richard Kilty and Jamaican Kemar Bailey-Cole.

"Adam Gemili is one of the athletes who absorbs the energy from the crowd and he's certainly done that. The question is he can he find an extra gear when it comes to the final."

That is opposed to Glasgow, Kentucky, , externalrecently ranked the 10th best place to live in the state.

Ollie Hynd completes a clean sweep of titles in the SM8 200m category with a superb victory to win England's first Para-swimming gold of Glasgow 2014.

The 19-year-old who is the Paralympic, World and European champion in the event, clocks two minutes 22.86 seconds.

Adam Gemili takes the second semi-final on the nod and it is a swift time of 10.07 seconds. Jason Livermore is second in 10.11, Nigeria's Mark Jelks takes third and will play the waiting game.

England's Adam Gemili gets a big welcoming roar as he is introduced prior to the second semi-final. He has the fastest 2014 time of anyone in his semi-final but Jason Livermore of Jamaica is not far behind.

Huge reception for Scotland's women as they leave the arena in third place in the team final standings at the end of their first day session.

They have 76.031 from their two pieces of apparatus, with the other two to follow tomorrow. Wales currently lead with 81.398, but it's now England's turn and with European champion Becky Downie in their line-up, they are amongst the event favourites.

"After two years of disappointments Jazz really deserved that. She has put in so much hard work."

"I expected more from Nickel Ashmeade, and there is surely a lot more to come for him."

Jamaican champion Nickel Ashmeade left himself a lot to do and only just met the deadline, sneaking second behind Bahamas' Warren Fraser. Both men are given the same time - 10.21 seconds.

Keston Bledman of Trinidad and Tobago was third in 10.24 with England's Harry Aikines Aryeetey in fourth in 10.25. Both will need a favour from the clock.

Steve Cram
BBC Sport athletics commentator

"That was a very odd semi-final. We were expecting fireworks and people to really push on, but no-one did."

England's Harry Aikines-Aryeetey will go in the first of the men's heats with Jamaica's Nickel Ashmeade outside him.

"I think Adam Gemili will need to turn it up tonight. I was encouraged by his comments after the heats that he knows he will have to improve. A lot of the guys were sluggish and know they need to get better tonight. It's not a case of conserving energy for races really, they just needed to blow the cobwebs away yesterday.

"I am excited about the final because it's evenly matched and there's no clear favourite. Richard Thompson of Trinidad and Tobago has the quickest time but I'm not completely convinced by him. The Jamaicans are bound to be in the mix but Adam Gemili has as good a chance as anyone."

Back to the track, where the line-up for the men's 100m final is about to be sorted out across three races.
