Those two line up in heat one, alongside Scotland's Chris O'Hare and Jake Wightman, England pair Lee Emanuel and Richard Peters, plus Daniel Mooney of Northern Ireland. The first four over the line automatically progress to Saturday's final, with the next four fastest over the two heats also booking their spot. They're off!

Before that little lot, we start on the track with the men's 1500m first round.

Kenya are without the two fastest men on the planet this year - two-time world champion Asbel Kiprop and reigning Commonwealth king Silas Kiplagat. Have Kenya been weakened? Yes. Does that mean they won't win gold? No.

2010 silver medallist James Magut leads the African nation's charge, but he is likely to pushed by New Zealand's 2006 Commonwealth champion Nick Willis.

Seven athletes will be basking in the glare of gold tonight. That's right, seven track and field medals are up for grabs at Hampden and the action has just kicked off. Here are the tear-producing events - some of joy and some of woe - which you can watch on our live coverage stream:

"Kristian will be kicking himself because he took the step ahead at the end and that is the difference between gold and silver."

It is Yorkshire Day and Leeds gymnast Nile Wilson celebrates in style. The 18-year-old takes gold just ahead of England team-mate Kristian Thomas. But heartbreak for Scotland's Frank Baines as he is nudged out of a bronze medal by Kevin Lytwyn of Canada.

England's Kristian Thomas grins as he twists and twirls into second place with a score of 14.966. His Red Rose team-mate Nile Wilson leads, with Scotland's Frank Baines in bronze. Only Canada's Kevin Lytwyn - the last man to go - can stop a British 1-2-3...

Scotland's Michael Jamieson does not sound like he is over his upset at the hands of fellow Scot Ross Murdoch in last Thursday's 200m breaststroke final just yet.

"I really wanted to repay that faith and support of the people," said the Glaswegian.

"It's only natural for your instant reaction to be like you felt you let people down. I'll take some time off and come back stronger. I have to."

Ouch. Dan Keatings has had some great moments in the 2014 Commonwealth Games. This was not one of them.

The Scot, a gold medallist in the pommel horse event and a silver medallist in the all-around and team finals competition, ends up flat on his face after losing his grip when trying to land a move in the horizontal bars final.

He has some guts though, and gets back on to finish his routine. He then limps off and is soon seen with ice packs on both ankles.

It's all over at Scotstoun Sports Campus, and it's bad news for Paul Drinkhall. The Englishman took the fourth game against India's Sharath Kamal Achanta, but a change of bandana helped Achanta to wrest back the momentum, and he duly closed out a 4-1 victory.

Drinkhall fought gamely, but he was outclassed by the third seed, and now he will turn his attention to the mixed doubles final on Saturday, where he and wife Joanna face fellow English pairing Liam Pitchford and Tin-Tin Ho.

England swimmer Adam Brown missed the birth of his daughter while he was preparing for the Games.

He's back home now though and spreading the joy via his instagram account., external

Brown, 25, won a gold in the 4x100m medley relay and a bronze medal in the 100m freestyle relay.

Here are some more action clips that are well worth watching if you missed them first time around.

I've been speaking with members of the Namibian and Papua New Guinea teams this morning who have been receiving free kit and equipment (including wheelchairs) through a charity called 'Kit us out'., external

The project started during London 2012 and sees the charity target developing nations who have few resources of their own.

"It's nice to know we can make a difference to their lives and help them become better athletes with equipment and kit most nations would take for granted," said founder Alex Mitchell.

Quadruple gold medallist Claudia Fragapane on BBC One: "It's been great being here. I am only 16 and it's been amazing to get four gold medals. That was my last competition and I wanted to go out there and enjoy it."

Englishman Paul Drinkhall trails by three games to love, and has no answer to Sharath Kamal Ashanta's coiled cobra of a forehand at the moment.

The Indian is well up for this one too, roaring his approval as Drinkhall goes long to put him within touching distance of the semi-final.

"Claudia Fragapane is so special, and so talented. She has a great work ethic. When she's in the gym and something isn't quite right, she looks to her coach to find out how she can do it better and works constantly on it.

"In gymnastics terms she's still a baby but winning four golds will give her so much confidence. They have nicknamed her the 'Pocket Rocket' because she flies and has so much power for her size."

Another day, another gold. England's Claudia Fragapane certainly knows her way to the medal presentations. What an amazing Commonwealth Games for the 16-year-old.

She picks up her fourth gold medal of the Games after her success in the floor event earlier today.
