Quick flurry of goals before the break as Scotland keep their hopes alive.

Susannah Townsend doubled England's lead following a penalty corner.

But Scotland, needing a win to progress, reply through Nikki Kidd from a penalty corner of their own.

If you read just one Commonwealth Games feature today, make it this one.

It is BBC Sport's Ben Dirs telling the tale of Taoriba Biniati of Kiribati who teamed up with gnarled veteran of the Glasgow boxing scene Alex Morrison in preparation for her Commonwealth debut.

Before last Monday Biniati had never boxed in a ring before, had never fought a women and had mainly trained by pounding away at a punchbag hanging from a breadfruit tree.

Then she walked into Morrison's gym and the hard work began.

Josh: , externalRe: 08:00 if divers do 10m in just over one second isn't a sub-10 second 100m faster at some point?

I'm claiming that from a stationary start the divers are still quicker. And we haven't had a sub-ten seconds 100m yet at the Games.

But I take your point. It's close.

Sam Tolchard, a 25-year-old electrician from Torquay, is a study in concentration as today's bowls matches get under way at Kelvingrove. The Englishman is hoping to improve on his fourth place in Delhi four years ago and is up against Australian Aron Sherriff in the singles round-robin. Tolchard leads 6-5 in the early stages, with 21 the target for both men. Watch the action here.

England draw first blood after 15 minutes thanks to a great finish from Alex Danson.

England are inching towards the semi-finals but it's still early days.

England have made the brighter start and created a couple of early chances.

However, Sophie Bray couldn't take the first as she shot with the back of her stick and Amy Gibson saves with her pads to deny Alex Danson from the second.

The Scots are yet to give a passionate crowd anything to really shout about.

Scotland swimmer Ross Murdoh has enjoyed a successful Games, but his gold in the 200m breaststroke, which he won along with bronze in the 100m, came at the expense of team-mate and Glasgow 2014 poster boy Michael Jamieson.

"Hearing the anthem on top of the podium was a massive honour for me and something I will never forget. My parents were both in tears," Murdoch told BBC One.

"Michael was OK, I've spoken to him and I think he took a few days out of swimming with his family. I'd like to say we are still friends, and I'll enjoy a little bit of time out of swimming just now as well."

Reflecting on England's gold in the men's team final last night.

"Since Louis Smith made his comeback he has put in the hours at training and the whole team have been working really hard together. You could see that in the way they helped Sam Oldham onto the podium last night to collect their gold medal for the team event.

"It's hard to pick out just one performance. To win team gold, everyone needs to play their part. But Claudia Fragapane was amazing as England won the women's team gold, she had so much pressure on her but she raises her game in front of a big crowd.

"There is such strength and depth within the British team. Split off into the home nations we have also had the historic Scottish silver medal in the men's team event and the Welsh girls picking up women's team bronze. All these athletes will come back stronger and I wouldn't like to be one of the selectors."

Here we go.

We've had push-back at the National Hockey Centre so it's game on as Scotland and England scrap it out for a place in the semi-finals.

Remember, a draw will do for England while Scotland must win to join Australia in going through in Pool B.

Scotland's swimmer Dan Wallace - who added silver in the 200m individual medley last night to his gold in the 400m version- revved up the crowd by appearing poolside in his team kilt. He thinks that the home nations' performance bode well for an improvement in Great Britain's next Olympic showing.

"It's not just Scotland; England, Northern Ireland and Wales have had a great Commonwealth Games so far," Wallace told BBC One.

"In two years' time when it comes to trying out for Rio it won't just be about making the team.

"We will expect to perform really well and try and get on the podium.

"I think that's something we will be capable of and hopefully this has given us a taste of that."

Those lucky enough to have tickets for athletics tonight at Hampden Park will be in the presence of greatness.

Kenya's David Rudisha, Olympic champion and world-record holder, will be the star attraction in the 800m semi-finals.

If you have not seen it already, I heartily recommend the documentary 100 Seconds to Beat the World, following Rudisha from a teenager to a champion under the guidance of his coach and Catholic missionary Brother Colm O'Connell, that BBC Four have scheduled for the hours after tomorrow's final.

Three years ago Wales' Dai Greene was reigning world, European and Commonwealth champion over 400m hurdles. This morning he begins the defence of his title admitting that he has "pretty much written the season off" after a spate of injuries.

Scotland coach Gordon Shepherd is certainly not overawed by the prospect of his side taking on England, despite being ranked 10 places lower at 16 in the world.

"We knew when the draw was made that we would set up a winner takes all," Shepherd told The Telegraph., external

"That has been the mind set of the players and this has worked out exactly as I thought it would. It will be a fantastic day and there is no doubt in my mind and my players' mind [that we will win].

"We will be up from half past five and from the moment they wake up they will be thinking about their performance against England."

Just as the diving begins, England and Scotland's women will be locking hockey sticks over at the National Hockey Centre with a place in the semi-finals the prize.

While the local crowds have generally been generous with their applause for all of the home nations' competitors, the trend was bucked when England met Scotland in the rugby sevens at Ibrox.

It could get a bit partisan over at the National Hockey Centre.

Just as in swimming lessons at school so at major multi-sport events.

Once you have done your lengths, you are allowed to have a couple of goes off the high board.

So with the swimming events wrapped up last night, we begin the diving competitions at the Royal Commonwealth Pool this morning.

Splashdown in the first event - the men's springboard - is in two hour's time.

Nope, none of the above.

Instead the likes of England Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow, admittedly with a lot of help from gravity, cover the distance in a little over one second.
