England continue to dominate their opening mixed team fixture vs Uganda and now have a 4-0 lead courtesy of Olympic bronze medallists Marcus Ellis (right) and Chris Langridge.

The duo defeat Brian Kasirye and Edwin Ekiring 21-9, 21-5.

“It’s been a real journey since Rio 2016 & we’ve had injury problems but we feel we’re getting closer to our best,” Langridge tells me.

Ellis adds: "This is my first Commonwealths and I really want to come away with a medal - hopefully two and this is a good solid start today.”

Wales and England are both in action in the women's team table tennis.

Teams play four singles and one doubles tie, and the first team to three points wins.

Wales are 2-0 down to India, but 11-year-old prodigy Anna Hursey is about to get going in the doubles tie, alongside Charlotte Carey.

England have just won their second group match against Vanuatu 3-0.

Disqualifications for New Zealand in the men's team pursuit and Canada in the women's sprint give Wales a fourth place finish in both events and subsequently a chance to ride for two bronze medals.

Men's artistic team final

Double Olympic champion Max Whitlock fronts a strong England team going for gold in the men's team final but Scotland hope to ruin the party.

The Scots finished runners-up to England in 2014 and that rivalry will still be apparent as the two are expected to battle it out for gold and silver.

Each nation will have between three and five gymnasts and their results are calculated by adding together the best three scores at each apparatus.

The top eight will also qualify for the individual finals.

Time for a dog picture I think...

England look like they're into the gold medal final of the men's team sprint with a qualifying time of 43.516 seconds - the second fastest time.

However, Australia are about to have a re-run so that might all change.

More from Ben Proud on his disqualification from the 50m fly.

“Coming into the competition there is always apprehension ahead of the first race," said the Commonwealth record hold.

“With 10,000 fans in the crowd I wanted to give them something to cheer about by delivering a fast time.

“Unfortunately before the start signal I was judged to have moved my leg and the referee deemed this enough for a disqualification.

“I really wanted to come into the competition to retain both my titles and to have that opportunity taken away in the first heat is heart breaking.

“This has been four years of dedicated training and consistency – I feel I am in the shape of my life and am gutted to miss out on the opportunity to show what I can do. But the motivation is already there to come back in four years’ time and regain my title in the event I love.

“This is now in the past – all I can do now is support my team-mate Jacob. My focus is now fully on the 50m free.

“I would like to thank the team who helped ease me through this difficult situation.”

British Swimming confirm Ben Proud’s disqualification from the 50m fly has been upheld.

The Games record holder was judged to have started before the starting signal by an independent appeals panel.

Team England’s swimming team leader Grant Robins said in a statement: “Whilst this is incredible disappointing for Ben, the team and England we are all looking to move on quickly from this decision.

“We appreciate the time and focus dedicated to hearing our appeal, but Ben will now move his focus on to the 50m freestyle on Monday, and on the 17 English swimmers who are in semis and finals tonight.”

Australia are underway at the Gold Coast Hockey Centre, where I’d estimate around 3,000 fans are making some noise and brightening the stands in the green and gold.

Australia’s women have won four of the five Commonwealth Games hockey tournaments so while they’ve slipped below England and New Zealand in the rankings, they’ve clearly got that Aussie grit on the big stage.

Hats, inflatable kangaroos, flags and T-shirts simply saying “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie” are plentiful.

Canada are battling the crowd and the rankings given they are 21st in the world.

England pair Lauren Bate and Katie Marchant secure a place in the bronze medal race in the women's team sprint.

They finish in 33.739 and will contest for third place against Canada, who they were paired with in qualifying.

It means Wales are bumped down to fifth and will miss out on the medal finals.

England's Sophie Thornhill and her pilot Helen Scott absolutely bossed the women's blind and visually impaired sprint qualifying.

They set a new world record of 10.609 seconds to snatch a place in the gold-medal final.

Morning! Here's what's happened on day one on the Gold Coast so far.

I caught up with Rio 2016 gold medal winner Laura Unsworth just now. She’s content with that display and also told me she’d still be warming up in her tracksuit top in order to fall in line with superstition. Who cares if it’s 30 degrees!

England have made it into the men's team pursuit gold medal final!

A steady ride from Kian Emadi, Ethan Hayer, Oliver Wood and Charlie Tanfield who finish in 3:55.399 and guarantee themselves a medal.

New Zealand and Canada will compete for the bronze.

The finals begin at 11:12 BST.

Commonwealth debutant Chloe Birch gives England an unassailable 3-0 lead vs Uganda in their opening mixed team fixture with a 21-12, 21-10 defeat of Shamim Bangi.

It follows earlier successes for the Adcocks and Rajiv Ouseph, with Olympic bronze medallists Chris Langridge and Marcus Ellis up on court next.

“I’m not going to lie I was a little bit nervous going out there today, as it was my first time at a Commonwealths,” Birch tells me.

“I’m really happy to play here and we are in great form as a team with great support from family and friends here and you can’t beat representing Team England!”
