As much as we like the friendly side of the Commonwealths, it is nice to have a side order of beef.

England's James Ellington qualifies for the 200m semi-finals with ease, finishing side-by-side with Jamaica's Jason Livermore in heat seven and well clear of the rest of the field.

There were a few pointed looks from Ellington as he kept pace with Livermore up the home straight though, letting his mohawked rival that he was matching him with some ease.

It all becomes clear in the post-race interview...

England's seventh seed Sarah Walker has made a strong start against Barbados' Shari Watson in the last 32 of the women's singles.

She leads 8-5 in the opening game.

Sir Steve Redgrave and Matthew Pinsent are taking questions from a live studio audience for BBC Get Inspired, reflecting on their own careers in sport.

What would they tell young up-and-comers wanting to follow in their footsteps?

Pinsent tells them to listen to their coaches because it is harder to put faults right when you are older, before Sir Steve says simply "do yourself justice and enjoy it."

You can watch live on the BBC Sport website. The two of them are about to take each other on in a putting contest.

It's all over and it's England who make it through to the semi-finals.

Scotland threw everything at the 'Auld Enemy' in the second half as they tried to force the win that would have given them a medal chance.

But a relieved England hang on to set up a likely last-four clash with New Zealand.

A great game and gripping way to start the day.

The action has begun in the morning track session with Jamaica's London 2012 bronze medallist Warren Weir easing through to the 200m semi-finals in a time of 20.71 seconds.

The fastest man so far is British champion Danny Talbot in 20.56 seconds, with South Africa's Ncincilili Titi close behind in 20.66.

Scotland's James Heatly, 17, successfully negotiates his opening dive at the Royal Commonwealth Pool, collecting a mark of 54.60 for his effort. Ahmad Amsyar Azman of Malaysia leads on 70.40 ahead of England's Chris Mears and Jack Laugher but it's early days, with another five dives to come for each man. The top 12 qualify for the final.

Scotland have bossed the second half but wasting a handful of penalty corners will really hurt if their medal hopes end here.

They have now had 11 shots on goal to England's 12 but can't find the killer touch which would set up a dramatic finish.

"What a morning it will be for Scotland's young diver James Heatly. His grandfather, who turned 90 earlier this year, performed at the Commonwealth Games of 1950, 1954 and 1958, winning gold medals at all of them.

"Heatly, 17, kicks us off here, in his home pool, in the men's 1m springboard preliminary at 10:05 BST."

Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow go in the women's synchronised 10 platform from 11:50. Tom Daley will dive on Friday and Saturday but there are three golds up for grabs on day one at the Royal Commonwealth Pool, which happens to be in Edinburgh rather than Glasgow. Scotland's James Heatly will have the honour of making the first dive in the men's 1m springboard preliminary round. Watch the action here.

The clock isn't Scotland's friend with less than half an hour to go.

Their hopes would have been over already had Alex Danson punished more slack defensive play with a shot which she put just over the top.

But Scotland force a couple of penalty corners and Maddie Hinch saves well from Nikki Kidd as the hosts start to push.

Jamaica's Usain Bolt, pictured above with a fan, has been reported in some of the morning's newspapers as having made some pretty uncomplimentary comments about the Commonwealth Games., external

Well, his manager has in turn been pretty uncomplimentary about those reports.

Ricky Simms described the reports as "utter rubbish".

"The atmosphere in and around the stadiums has been absolutely fantastic and I have absolutely no idea where these quotes have come from," he told BBC Sport.

The all-conquering Australians have made a strong start against South Africa in the day's opening netball match, towelling down at the end of the first quarter 17-7 in the lead having converted with 85% of their shots at goal.

The South Africa replacements have been keeping their muscles warm on the sideline by skipping rope. I've seen rugby players doing turns on stationary bikes, but ropes make more sense don't they?

Wales swimmers Jazz Carlin and Georgia Davies, speaking to BBC One after their medal-winning performances in the pool:

Carlin: "The past 48 hours have been a whirlwind, it's been incredible. The 800m freestyle is a difficult race, there are lots of tactics and you don't want to move too soon or too late. I think I had a few people worried but I managed to time it right.

"Georgia and I have trained together for seven years, to have shared this moment together and come away with two medals each, we couldn't have asked for more."

Davies: "With the 50m race I don't have to think about tactics, it's just go from the start. In Delhi in 2010 I got a bronze and was fifth or sixth in the 100m. But I was feeling so motivated after watching Jazz."

Carlin, 23, won gold in the 800m freestyle on Monday before adding silver in the 400m freestyle on Tuesday. Davies, also 23, won gold in the 50m backstroke on Tuesday to follow silver in Saturday's 100m backstroke.

There goes the hooter.

A chance to draw breath after a frenetic first half in the decisive cross-border battle.

As it stands, Scotland still need to score twice to reach the semi-finals.

But Nikki Kidd's goal has given them a chance after England had led 2-0.

Great second half in prospect.

David Faulkner
BBC Sport hockey expert, on Radio 5 live

"Based on the world rankings England should comfortably win - they are sixth and Scotland are 16th. But as we all know, when it comes down to England v Scotland there is always something else behind it, because of all the history."
