Jonathan Brownlee suffers a little wardrobe malfunction as he rounds the second buoy in first place. His goggles worked their way down his nose and required a quick rearrangement before he could resume his stroke.

Brother Alistair is in second as they complete the first of two laps with South African Henri Schoeman in third.

"That's it. Game over. A team huddle for the victorious Aussies while Tom Daley appears on a big screen to wish spectators a safe journey home. A Wales player sprints from one side of the arena to the other. She's just spotted family and/or friends. Warm hugs, a thumbs up. Defeated but not down and out. "

One man who is hoping for a Brownlee one-two more than most is Keith Brownlee, father of the England triathletes.

"Alistair is fighting fit now and Jonny is ready for it as well - the Commonwealths have been their focus. There are some fantastic competitors but hopefully they can do 1-2. You can tell with Alistair, he goes well when he is feeling cool about everything and he's definitely feeling cool about everything."

"The sun is out at Strathclyde Country park but it is a really tough course and it will be a hard race for everyone out there - there will be no place to hide.

"In the men's race the Brownlees are clear favourites, and I would put my money on Alistair certainly. I think Jonny will be his biggest threat and third place will be hotly contested between Tony Dodd of New Zealand, the Australian Aaron Royle and Richard Murray of South Africa."

The Brownlee brothers are stood side-by-side on the pontoon, smiling and waving to the crowd at a scorching Strathclyde Country Park.

Swim, bike, run - in that order. Sounds simple? Not when the race combines a 1500m open water swim, a 40km bike ride and a 10km run.

Olympic bronze medallist Jonathan Brownlee, speaking on BBC One: "I took a bit to get going in 2014, I trained a bit too much over winter. That can be a default for triathletes - when things aren't going well your response is to train harder, but sometimes that doesn't work.

"I don't need coaches who will make me work hard and train I need coaches to make me back off and do the hard stuff at the right time, not just all the time."

Wales' Daniel Font has taken the first game of his mixed team clash with Australia's Jeff Tho 21-16.

The play was held up in the middle of the game so that a local lad could wipe the sweat off the surface of the court. If you were one of the Clyde-sider volunteers what job would you most and least like to be rotaed on?

Olympic triathlon champion Alistair Brownlee, speaking on BBC One: "2014 has been a bit hit and miss. I started well in Abu Dhabi, then had a couple of dodgy races in the World Series, but since then have had a good bit of training, the Euros went fantastically well and in the last 6-8 weeks I could not have asked for me, it has been perfect.

"The Commonwealth Games is a different thing, I didn't get to do it four years ago and might not in four years time, so that has really motivated me."

BBC Sport's Mark Chapman: "The Brownlee brothers have just got out of the water after doing a warm-up swim. They both look very focused."

But soon there is going to be some more medal action. After England's Jodie Stimpson won Glasgow 2014's first gold in the women's triathlon, it is over to the men who are about to set off at Strathclyde Country Park. And England fancy their chances of sniffing around the podium again, with Yorkshire brothers Alistair and Jonny Brownlee strong contenders for those prestigious 100g of metal.

Alistair, 26, is the reigning Olympic champion, while Jonny, 24, finished behind him in third at London 2012. But the younger sibling won the 2012 World Championship and finished third in the same competition last year.

The sea of Commonwealth Games action is all very calm at the moment, with the opening stages of the badminton, judo and netball events the pick of the current action.

If any of that lot floats your boat then head to our glitzy 'live coverage' tab, where you can find streams of all the events.

England's number two James Willstrop has cruised into the last 32 with the most straightforward of wins, putting Bermuda's Nicholas Kyme to the sword 11-4 11-3 11-4.

Kyme looked absolutely pooped when he came off court as well.

Scottish sisters Kimberley and Louise Renicks are through to their respective judo finals at the Commonwealth Games.

Kimberly, 26, will go for gold in the -48kg category, while Louise, 31, fights at -52kg.

Two fighting sisters? Imagine they had a few scraps over the dinner table when they were children.

Yes, that is a true story - it is not a Lineker prank.

Olympic hero Sir Chris Hoy was checked at the door of the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome as he made his way to watch cycling earlier.

Britain's most successful Olympian saw the funny side though, later tweeting: "She was only doing her job!!"

Maybe the venue needs to feature Hoy's name more prominently? That's what another knight of the realm, Sir Bradley Wiggins, reckons.

"Lovely story that Chris Hoy was asked for ID to get into the Sir Chris Hoy velodrome. Priceless!"

"It all started so promisingly for the women in red, but the spectator who brought red and green pom-poms with her has been a redundant cheerleader in the second quarter. The Aussie to the right of me is massaging her left shoulder, an example of the downside to your team mullering their opponents. I think it's called repetitive flag-waving strain."
