"England's Martyn Rooney has shown a great attitude and looks in great form. He came through the preliminary and the semi-finals with good performances. However, I don't think he can beat Kirani James unless the Grenadian makes a big mistake.

"I like Martyn's beard as well! It suits him and I think it goes with his attitude. Could the beard slow him down?! I don't think so. Ed Moses had a beard for a while and it didn't affect him!"

Chris Becker:, external I sincerely hope that wind doesn't get caught up in Martyn Rooney's beard tonight. In fact, why doesn't he just wear a gorilla outfit for good measure.

Craig Paterson:, external Hope David Rudisha is fit enough to put on a bit of a show in the 800m.

Andy Kelly:, external Great to see Laura Weightman getting her well deserved medal. More to come.

"Kirani James in the 400m is the man to watch and he's a got a lane draw to suit him. When James lost to Lashawn Merritt at the World Championships he got out of his race because he was looking at Merritt. James runs his best when he runs his own race. With no contenders on the outside of him he will run his own race. It's his to lose."

* Six minute warning *

I know a six minute warning is a little unorthodox, but frankly I didn't have time to give you a 10 minute warning because of that flurry of medal action.

Anyway...you have six minutes before the men's 400m final begins. Olympic champion Kirani James is a bigger dead cert than Red Rum in the 1974 Grand National.

"The biggest cheer we have had all day is for England's Alicia Blagg and Rebecca Gallantree as they secure synchronised 3m springboard gold.

"They can't believe it! Blagg saw the scoreboard and stood motionless then started pointing to her team-mate who couldn't see the scoreboard. When they both realised what they had just achieved they sprinted towards one another to celebrate."

The men's high jump did not reach the heights exepected but I can tell you that one man does not care a single jolt. That is Canada's Derek Drouin. The Commonwealth record holder has a little piece of gold to add to Olympic and world bronzes after clearing 2.31m

"What relief on Greg Rutherford's face and now a smile breaks out. He's now two titles away from having the full set. He could join an elite club of British athletes that hold every title in the world and that's a special achievement if he can do it. Only the likes of Sally Gunnell, Linford Christie and Daley Thompson have that. Well done Greg Rutherford."

Only one man now can deny Greg Rutherford the gold medal as the long jump reaches its conclusion. South Africa's Zarck Visser needs 8.20m or further - no, he's well short! Rutherford, or the Ginger Wizard as he's known, collapses to his knees on the track in celebration.

The Olympic champion is the new Commonwealth champion!

Move over Ennis-Hill and Johnson-Thompson. She might not have a double-barrelled surname, but England's Jessica Taylor looks to have a bronze Commonwealth medal. She finishes fifth in the 800m, with Canada's gold medallist Brianne Thiesen-Eaton fittingly dipping over the line first, to clinch third in the overall standings.

"They held their nerve superbly. They were the last to go and had seen some of the other divers wobble. They cannot believe it. Eyes wide open, and the tears are coming. What a moment! Two golds for England in the space of about 40 minutes. Superb!"

Amazing scenes over in the pool as England's Alicia Blagg and Rebecca Gallantree produce something special in their final dive to snatch women's synchronised 3m springboard gold! They had not led in the previous four rounds but a 72.54 in round five puts them ahead of Canada as they finished on 300.24, just under 5.00 ahead.

Both look stunned when they climb out of the water and who can blame them? Stunning finish.

British hopes in the women's heptathlon were pinned on Olympic champion Jessica Ennis-Hill. Then, she decided to have a baby instead (fair enough). So hopes switched to England colleague Katarina Johnson-Thompson. She had to pull out through injury.

That leaves Canada's Brianne Thiesen-Eaton as the champion elect. She basically needs to stroll around the track twice in a half-decent time to grab the gold. They're off.

"Northern Ireland have only won two medals so far at this year's Games but their boxers have already guaranteed themselves seven, with two more to fight in quarter-finals this evening. Whatever way you look at it, that is a remarkable tally. When asked how many golds his team would win, two-time Olympic light-flyweight bronze medallist Paddy Barnes shot back: 'Nine'."

Someone has just turned up the noise inside Hampden - and it is nothing to do with the current action. Nope, the decibel level goes up as Scotland's kilt-wearing Mark Dry collects his bronze medal for his performance in the men's hammer throw. He's loving his moment in the limelight - winking at the camera and upper cutting the Glasgow air in delight - and rightly so.

The women's individual all-around final is well under way and it is a great start for Scotland's Emma White as she produces a superb beam routine for a 12.900. She leads the way after three of four rotations and laps up the applause from the crowd with a smile and a wave. But the leaderboard will all change when the second group takes to the floor at around 20:17 BST.

"I think there might be more to come from Greg Rutherford in the final two rounds of jumps, even though the temperature is falling. He has a determined look on his face that he means business. Crucially he's still sitting pretty at the top of the leaderboard."

After all that excitement on the track, let's head back out on to the field. England's Greg Rutherford led after round three in the long jump and is still at the top of the pile, despite a no jump in round four. Team-mate Chris Tomlinson produces the longest leap in this round, although his 7.93m is 0.06m short of his best and keeps him in fifth.

Canada's Dori Yeats gets the better of Angele Tomo of Cameroon to win gold but Scotland's Sarah Jones misses on bronze to Navjot Navjot Kaur of India.

Barely time to take stock of Jack Laugher's success before we're into the women's 3m synchronised springboard final. England's Alicia Blagg and Rebecca Gallantree are the only home nation athletes in this one.
