That is a sight to cheer Scottish hearts. Dan Purvis stands to attention as Flower of Scotland blares through the Hydro and a Saltire rises to the roof above the two St Georges crosses on either side of it.

It's a topsy-turvy encounter at the Scotstoun Sports Campus. Liam Pitchford ups his game to take the second game 11-7, and he looks set to take a grip on the contest when he opens up a 9-6 lead in the third. But his Indian opponent Soumyajit Ghosh is made of stern stuff, and he takes five points on the spin to seize a 2-1 lead. Ghosh roars in delight, Pitchford looks to the heavens. He's still right in this one though.

Goalkeeper Maddie Hinch's save against New Zealand took England's women into a hockey final against Australia following a 1-1 draw in their semi-final.

"The Scottish and the English are constantly pushing each other and that will really help our Great Britain team. Daniel Purvis did a clean and solid routine to win gold - and he still has high bar to come.

"Max Whitlock has got the full collection now with bronze. And Nile Wilson, being here as a junior has not fazed him one bit."

New Zealand's players are blinking back the tears, while England's Alex Danson and Kate Richardson-Walsh are wreathed in smiles as they share a moment.

They will have to play out of their skins to beat Australia in Saturday's final. That will start at 20:15 BST on Saturday.

Not the start that Liam Pitchford wanted in his semi-final against India's Soumyajit Ghosh. The Englishman loses the first game 11-7. The lanky youngster from Chesterfield has had an up-and-down day so far, winning a thrilling mixed-doubles semi-final with Tin-Tin Ho and tasting defeat with Paul Drinkhall in the men's doubles. But he'll be desperate to finish on a high.

Scotland's Daniel Purvis comes up with a stunning final routine to steal the gold from England's Nile Wilson.

He posts a huge score of 15.533 to beat Wilson into silver, while Max Whitlock picks up another medal with bronze.

Goalkeeper Maddie Hinch does the business again, blocking New Zealand's final attempt to spark wild celebrations from her team-mates massed on the halfway line.

England are into the final!

Alex Danson claws the ball home from on the ground for England before Maddie Hinch saves from Anita Punt. England lead!

Georgie Twigg takes her time before coolly finishing on the reverse stick for England, but Kayla Whitelock cracks away New Zealand's first attempt to level up at 1-1.

Christine Still
BBC Sport gymnastics expert and veteran coach

"Frank Baines is the gymnast's gymnast, his sills are perfect and he is what every coach wants to be able to coach."

Scotland's Frank Baines has got Christine Still purring in the BBC commentary box but his score of 14.866 will only be good enough for bronze. Can compatriot Daniel Purvis find a way to top England's Nile Wilson for gold or Max Whitlock for silver?

And the winner of Team Scotland's, external treasure hunt is.....Jonathan from Cumbernauld!

He wins a signed Eilidh Child cap, Dan Purvis bag and Team Scotland Saltire. Lucky chap!

Emily Naylor swats the ball off the line with her goalkeeper grounded. The hooter blows and we are going to penalty flicks.

England taking penalties in a semi-final against one of the game's powerhouses. This doesn't normally end well.

BBC gymnastics commentator Mitch Fenner on Nile Wilson's score of 15.433 in the parallel bars: "I've seen medals won at World Championships with a lower score than that."

Canada's Zachary Clay and Australian Luke Wadsworth come and go but neither can muster a routine to threaten the English pair of Nile Wilson and Max Whitlock sitting in gold and silver.

With a score of 12.400, Wadsworth takes up what you feel will only be temporary residence in the bronze medal position, with Scotland's Frank Baines and Daniel Purvis still to come.

And New Zealand are within a post of the lead! Stacey Michelsen hits the steel upright with a far-post poke.

But now England have a penalty corner at the other end with eight seconds left. What a finish!
