"There he is! My beautiful boy, look at him!"

Somewhere in the stands or back in South Africa Bert Le Clos will be watching his son Chad in the men's 50m butterfly semi-finals.

He probably won't be getting as poetic as when his son beat Michael Phelps in the London 2012 200m butterfly final. But he will be pleased enough with a solid move through to the 50m butterfly final.

"Hannah Miley very red-faced and clearly wiping a flood of tears away from her eyes as she makes her way around the pool with her precious gold medal.

"An incredible career-defining performance from the Scottish swimmer this evening in the 400m individual medley - a night both she and the crowd will never forget."

England are handing out a tonking in their men's hockey opener. Trinidad and Tobago are on the receiving end, 6-1 down as we near the end of the match.

You can watch that over on the live coverage tab at the top of this very page.

A pause in the medal bonanza in the pool.

The women's 50m breastroke semi-final have seen Jamaica's Alia Atkinson come home in a new games record. Australian Lorna Pickett won the other semi-final ahead of England's Sophie Taylor and Scotland's Kathryn Johnstone.

Colin Oates wins gold for England at under-66kgs by defeating Andreas Krassas of Cyprus with a quick throw and armlock combination.

Oates, brought up in Norfolk, but now fighting out of the Edinburgh Ratho club, produced some strong Ne Waza groundwork en route to the final, and followed that up with another impressive display to continue the home nation domination of the Judo competition.

Scotland collected another bronze medal when James Millar - a late call-up for Scotland as replacement for the injured 100kg judoka James Austin - defeated Mathews Bpunza of Zambia with a late ippon throw.

"England's James Guy spent two hours in doping control after this morning's 400m freestyle heat struggling to give a sample.

"Tonight he had no problem delivering an impressive third-place-finish.

"'It was a tough morning and then I had to hold on to get the medal but it's been an awesome year'," Guy tells BBC Sport after winning bronze."

"A standing ovation for Louise Renicks as she steps on top of the podium as the Commonwealth Champion. The gold medallist wonderfully smiles as she sings the national anthem, swaying ever so gently to the sound of the bagpipes. The Scots have enjoyed themselves this evening, thanks mainly to the feats of the Renicks sisters."

England's Sophie Taylor and Scotland's Kathryn Johnstone look like they have done enough to get into the 50m breaststroke final, but there's still the second semi to come...

Louise Renicks on winning judo gold to match her sister Kimberley's feat: "I have always believed I could get this medal, now I have got it, my job is done, and I am feeling brilliant, really proud of myself.

"I watched a bit of my sister's fight, where she won and then got her medal, but I had to keep myself focused.

"My mum and dad are here, and it is a really emotional moment, I was a bit upset when I came off the mat. I heard the Brownlee brothers won for England tonight, so now it is two families who can celebrate.

"I feel really proud with us getting the first gold medals for Scotland and there is much more to come."

BBC Sport's Ollie Williams is attempting to interview an athlete from all 71 nations and territories participating in the Commonwealth Games to create the 71 Club (#71club).

Dan Halksworth has twice won the ultra-long distance Ironman UK title, but the shorter Glasgow race - in sweltering conditions - is a different matter. He finished 17th for Jersey.

"I'm just proud to represent Jersey and not embarrass myself for them," he said. "This is a completely different pain [to an Ironman] but I'm quite happy, still.

"We're a small island and we don't have a lot of facilities that the other, big nations do. For us to come from a small place and do well? I'm really pleased."

Commonwealth triathlon champion Alistair Brownlee on Twitter:, external This is the way to get back from and reflect on a good race.

Australian teenager Rowan Crothers sets the first world record in the pool in winning gold in the S9 100m freestyle.

The 16-year-old, who has cerebral palsy which affects his leg movement, clocked 54.58 to beat his previous world record of 54.95. He beat his compatriots Matt Cowdrey and Brenden Hall for an Australian 1-2-3.

Belize's Bob Gabourel was another who didn't finish, with the rules stating that athletes too far behind the pack during the swim must end their race.

"I'm not used to this water, man," said Bob. "I wish the water was colder so we could swim in a wetsuit. In fresh water I tend to sink a lot, I'm not used to it.

"I'm really disappointed with myself, but I wish they'd given us the opportunity to finish our race. It's the biggest race we'll ever come to in our careers, as developing countries."

"Hannah going out so fast in the butterfly was a tactical masterstroke. That's something she would have been working on for months, not something she would have just decided to do today."

"This is the first time Siobhan-Marie O'Connor has ever done the 200m freestyle and she put up a great fight. Emma McKeon just had that much more experience.

"It bodes well for Siobhan for the rest of the week. She's got confidence and will feel she's swimming well."

"I think Hannah was just more tactically savvy on the night. Although I think if you have that race in a neutral pool then it might have been different - that crowd had such an affect on her."

England are currently leading Trinidad and Tobago 3-1 in their first group match thanks to goals from Ashley Jackson, Mark Gleghorne and Iain Lewers.

Watch it on our live video stream.

Emma McKeon takes gold, but she had to wring every last drop out of herself under heavy, heavy pressure from English 18-year-old Siobhan-Marie O'Connor who was just a quarter of a second behind.

It won't be the last we see of O'Connor in major finals.
