In the women's hammer contest in the middle of the track, Canada's Sultana Frizell (another corking name from the Canadian squad) has set a new Games record of 70.55m to lead the standings.

England's Sophie Hitchon is in third after two attempts with an effort of 67.59m.

England's Louis Smith says his return to international competition for the first time since London 2012 was "amazing". The three-time Olympic medallist scored an impressive 15.7 for his pommel horse routine, bettered only by reigning European champion and team-mate Max Whitlock.

"There was a lot of pressure as I thought, 'if I mess this up everything's gone down the drain' but now I think there's definitely more to come," said Smith.

The Strictly Come Dancing winner also confirmed that he'll compete on parallel bars on the final day of the team finals tomorrow.

Brilliant by Jazz Carlin who becomes the first Welsh woman in 40 years to win a Commonwealth gold medal in the pool. The 23-year-old punches the air as she realises she is Commonwealth champion. New Zealand's Lauren Boyle gets silver while Canada's Brittany Maclean is third. The Welsh dragon has roared. Carlin's time is a Games record 8.18.11.

Blessing Okagbare got a sluggish start, but from 60m onwards she just gobbled up the track beneath her. The clock stops at 10.93 seconds with plenty of daylight between her and Kerron Stewart in second.

England's Bianca Williams is third in 11.34 seconds and that is good enough to sneak the eighth and final spot in the final at 21:35 BST tonight.

"Another full house at Hampden Park, and if's taken a little too long for many of the 50,000 to get to and into the old stadium, they're making a happy racket now. After the thousands of empty seats in the athletics arena in Delhi, this is much more reminiscent of the City of Manchester stadium 12 years ago - huge support for any of the home nations, a genuine excitement from all to have bagged tickets for the show-piece sport of the Games."

The third and final semi-final features Nigeria's gifted Blessing Okagbare. The 25-year-old, easy to spot with bleached blonde hair, finished sixth in the last world championships and has previously competed in the long jump.

Jamaica's Kerron Stewart will be her main rival with England's Bianca Williams up against it.

Veronica Campbell-Brown comes through late and fast to take the second semi-final in a time of 11.02 seconds.

Nigeria's Gloria Asumnu took the second spot to progress to the final with Canada's Khamica Bingham waiting on a fastest loser spot like her fabulously named compatriot Crystal Carly-Kirsten Emmanuel.

Are Wales about to celebrate a first women's gold in 40 years? A nation holds its breath as Jazz Carlin steps out for the women's 800m freestyle final.

Jamaica's Veronica Campbell-Brown is the class of the field in the second semi-final.

The London 2012 bronze medallist missed last year's World Championships after testing positive for a banned diuretic in May 2013 but was cleared to compete again in February by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

It's an Australian sweep as Mitch Larkin wins the 200m backstroke gold ahead of compatriots Matson Lawson, who was second, while Josh Beaver is third.

Little joy for the home nations as Scotland's Craig McNally finishes fifth and Wales' Xavier Mohammed is eighth and last in his first major senior final.

Schillonie Calvert of Jamaica, equalling her season's best with a time of 11.08 seconds, takes the first semi-final, but England's Asha Phillip ran her close in second.

Canada's Crystal Carly-Kristen Emmanuel is third and will have to wait to see the times in the second semi-final before she can book in for the final at 21:35 BST tonight.

"It's an Australian gold, silver and bronze. It was a great swim from Mitch Larkin but he didn't have a great finish and just got there ahead of Josh Beaver."

Hampden Park looks rammed to the gunwales.

The competitors for the first event - the women's hammer - have been introduced to the crowd and there was pretty indiscriminate cheering for all.

On the track the first event is the women's 100m semi-finals.

England's Asha Phillip, the UK champion, goes in the first of the two races and her path to the final has been made considerably easier by the withdrawal of Trinidad and Tobago's Michelle-Lee Ahye who set a personal best of 10.85 seconds earlier this year.

There are eight medals to be won in the pool over the course of the next two hours.

Highlights include Wales' Jazz Carlin, who set a Commonwealth Games record in the heats and goes in the women's 800m freestyle final, while England's Fran Halsall, with two golds to her name already in these Games, is in the 100m freestyle final.

First up is the men's 200m backstroke final featuring Scotland's Craig McNally and Wales' Xavier Mohammed.

Two Para-sport golds are up for grabs on the track tonight and expect a huge Hampden Roar if Libby Clegg can win gold for Scotland in the T11/12 100m at 20:00 BST.

The 24-year-old has the eye disease Stargardt's macular dystrophy and is registered blind but she speeds her way down the track with the help of guide Mikail Huggins.

The pair won silver over 100m at London 2012 and at last year's IPC Athletics World Championships in Lyon but a gold on home soil would be special.

The other track final is the T37 100m at 20:37 and although South Africa's Fanie van der Merwe and Charl du Toit are the leading challengers, Wales's Rhys Jones could be in the medal shake-up.

Malaysia win a third successive gold medal in the mixed team event by claiming an unassailable 3-1 lead against England in the best-of-five final at the Emirates Arena.

Sarah Walker put up an admirable fight in the fourth rubber but eventually lost 21-16 21-17. Jing Yi Tee weeps tears of joy as she is embraced by her team-mates.

Squash silver medallist James Willstrop on his relationship with Nick Matthew who beat him to the gold in the final: "We've not always liked each other and got on, but why shouldn't there be mutual respect. He's been world champion three times. His record is incredible and I'll take my hat off.

"We won't become drinking buddies though. That won't be happening. It's not about forgiving and forgetting for what happened in 2009., external We don't need to deal with each other. We have respect when we get together in squads. But we don't go around together. That day I wasn't happy with him."

Matthew added: "I'd like to think we'll go for a drink. A lot of people have had rivalries and they laugh and joke about it now. We don't have that much in common of the court, but we have enormous respect for what each other does."

"100 finals tonight at @Glasgow2014 should be good. Men and women's races both have no clear favourite. Competition! Love it."
