Two of the heavyweights are slugging it out in Glasgow SEEC. Of course, it's New Zealand v Malawi. The New Zealand Ferns, bidding for a straight third title, are ranked second in the world, with the fifth-ranked Malawi Queens in close pursuit.

And there is little to separate them in the vast arena on the banks of the Clyde. The Ferns edged the first period 14-13, before the Queens hit back to level 25-25 at the halfway stage. Catch the final two quarters (or second half if you prefer) here.

Netball still may have a schoolgirl image for some - but it shouldn't. It's fast, furious and very competitive. The 12 teams compete in two pools of six and the top two teams from each group progress to the semi-finals. Teams consist of seven players and matches are played over four 15-minute periods, with the prospect of extra-time if teams are level in a medal or classification match.

"Age is no barrier. It's a limitation you put on your mind."

The words of legendary American hepthathlete Jackie Joyner-Kersee could quite easily have come out of Li Chunli's mouth. Remarkably, the New Zealander decided to retire shortly after her golden 2002 Games, coaching at the 2006 and 2010 events, before deciding she could mix it with these young whipper-snappers in Glasgow.

"At this age, you can still do many things including competing. be happy. Enjoy life," she says. Hear hear!

Fifty-two-year-old Li Chunli, winner of the singles' gold and three other medals at the Manchester Games in 2002, gives New Zealand a winning start against Mauritius in the women's team group stage. The Kiwi earns a 3-0 victory (11-2 11-7 11-3) over Widaad Gukhoo.

Judo - Men's 73kg preliminary round of 32.

Weightlifting - Men's 62kg (Group B).

One decent story you might have missed from late on day one - England's Sir Bradley Wiggins says he will not ride the Tour de France again.

The 34-year-old, who won a silver medal in the team pursuit, claimed that road racing is "cut-throat" with "no kind of loyalties".

"I've kind of done the road now. I've bled it dry," he told BBC Sport. "The track feels more like a family and a closer-knit group of people."

Team Scotland Judoka James Millar: , external"Very long and emotional day yesterday! I want to thank everyone involved, especially all those who came to support us! You were amazing! Never fought in front of a crowd like it! Hope you're all back in full force & well rested to support the team for the next two days!"

Millar, a late call-up as replacement for the injured -100kg judoka James Austin, defeated Mathews Bpunza of Zambia to win bronze on Thursday.

The National Hockey Centre is drenched in early morning sunshine as 2010 sliver medallists India, decked out in bright yellow, take on Wales, making their first appearance in the men's tournament at the Commonwealth Games for 12 years.

After making the early running, India move ahead through Okkaliga Ramachandra Raghunath before Wales hit back midway through the first half with a brilliant finish from Andrew Kornick.

"Wales are not allowing India any room around the 'D' and they're dangerous on the counter-attack," says former GB Olympic champion Sean Kerly.

"One of the things about judo is that there are so many breaks and we have to keep focused - it requires a lot of mental skill," adds England's Colin Oates.

"We had a wonderful reception from the crowd. We weren't sure what reaction we would get from the Scottish crowd but they have been supporting us as well - except when we were fighting the Scottish boys."

England's Colin Oates says he is still pinching himself after waking up this morning with a gold medal on his bedside table.

The 31-year-old Londoner beat Andreas Krassas of Cyprus in the men's -66kg on Thursday

"When you come away with a gold medal you can't believe it but we came here with a job and were probably favourites, so we had to deliver," he tells BBC Breakfast.

Hands up if you want some netball or table tennis action? You're in luck. Watch live coverage of those two sports now...

Netball - New Zealand v Malawi (Pool A).

Table Tennis - Women's team group stage .

Paddy Emmerson:, external Day one exceeded my expectations. World records and world champions competing at top level, more of the same today please.

Jim Ness:, external Coatbridge is currently sitting sixth in the Commonwealth medals table...With shooting still to come as well.

Kimberley and Louise Renicks, who both won gold in Judo on Thursday, are natives of the Scottish town of Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire.

Skeet sounds like the latest subculture to be embraced by teenagers across the conurbations of Britain. In fact, it is one of the disciplines in clay target shooting.

• Shooters fire at a series of single targets and simultaneous 'doubles' thrown at fixed angles from separate towers about 40m apart. Targets are thrown from the two towers in order to cross in the middle of the shooting field.

• Competitors are only permitted one shot per target, and the gun must be held at elbow level until the target appears. Each competitor takes turns at the eight shooting stations (positions).

• Men fire at 125 targets in five rounds of 25 over two days: 75 targets one day, and 50 the other. Women fire at 75 targets in three rounds of 25 over the course of a day.

Think of the sport of shooting and you think of middle-aged, male, flat-cap-wearing aristocrats strolling around their vast swathes of their country manor picking off rabbits. Wrong. Amber Hill is not your typical shooter.

"My nails are bright, I have a sprayed gun and pink cartridges," she tells BBC Berkshire.

"I am still really girly, but sport is a big part of my life. I don't see why I can't have a mix of both, even though it is a male-dominated sport."

Carnoustie is a place synonymous with golf, with the small Scottish town famed for hosting the Open Championship on several occasions.

But over the next 10 days, the North Sea coastal town is swapping putters for pistols as it hosts the Commonwealth shooting. Three events are under way with 16-year-old Amber Hill of England just pulling the trigger on her quest for gold in the women's skeet.

Scotland swimmer Ross Murdoch's eye-catching victory in the 200m breaststroke surprised many - but not former Olympic champion David Wilkie.

"I had a feeling Ross was going to do something pretty special," fellow Scot Wilkie tells BBC Radio 5live. "He looked very, very good in the heats, he looked confident, he swam well, his stroke was perfect."

The sunglasses are out in force at the Kelvingrove Lawn Bowls Centre. Not only for the blazing UV rays firing down out of the Glasgow sky, but also for the bright green and gold of the Australian men's triples side. It looks like a bunch of one-day cricketers have wandered into the wrong sporting arena.

It's curling on grass, and everybody loved curling at the 2014 Winter Olympics, didn't they?

The objective is simple: roll your bowl closer to the jack (a smaller ball) than your opponent and you score a point. In singles, the winner is the first player to reach 21 points. In pairs, triples and fours, a set number of ends are played and the total score decides the winner.
