It was a convincing 27-8 victory for the men's pairs in a win or bust match against Scotland while the men's triples ended their unbeaten record in the group stage with a 17-16 defeat to England. Both teams progress to the quarter-finals, the draw is due to take place at 14.45 (5.45 BST)

Despite losing 21-13 to Scotland's Caroline Brown, former world champion Laura Daniels finished second in her group to progress through to the final eight.

Zoe Smith is looking convincing here in the women's 63kg final.

She's just nailed a 92kg snatch - and all that with a back injury.

England's finest will go into the clean and jerk in second place, behind Canada's Maude Charron - who has just nailed 94kg with two lifts to come.

Northern Ireland were thrashed 94-26 by hosts Australia in their first outing, and they face another tough test against South Africa this morning.

That one is under way and you can watch the live stream here.

Just waking up? You've missed a LOT - if you're an England fan, that is...

• There was an English one-two in the men's gymnastics all-around final as Nile Wilson pipped team-mate James Hall to Commonwealth gold. Hall took silver despite leading into the final apparatus.
• It's been a golden day for England's para-triathletes as Joe Townsend and Jade Jones were crowned Commonwealth champions in their respective races.
• A silver medal was the order of the day for England's Alistair and Jonny Brownlee, Jess Learmonth and Vicky Holland in the triathlon mixed relay as Australia took gold.
• It was silver too for English weightlifter Jack Oliver as he finished second in the men's -77kg - improving on in his fourth place at Glasgow 2014.

Zoe Smith is sitting on 90kg with one more lift to come in the snatch. A good start for the English weightlifter, who is the reigning champion from Glasgow.

Meanwhile Australian Sin Lee looks devastated - she fails to post a lift in the snatch and she will take no further part in front of her home crowd.

Northern Ireland's Emma McQuaid has posted 82kg in the snatch, after failing with her final attempt on 84kg.

And Wales' Holly Knowles made 73kg on her final attempt.

Fachie and Rotherham almost get themselves in a pickle with some iffy tactics at the start but they are too quick for Australia.

They blitz round the outside to take a 1-0 lead.

Wales' James Ball is up next in the second semi-final.

The men's individual sprint has been a bit of a lottery. Will the blind and visually impaired event go to script? After setting a new world record in qualifying (see below), Neil Fachie and pilot Matt Rotherham are up against Australia in the semi-finals.

Best of three this one.

How do weightlifters chill out before a bid to win a third successive Commonwealth medal?

With a 00’s throwback playlist apparently.

England’s Zoe Smith - bronze medallist in 2010 and gold medallist in 2014 - is preparing for her biggest challenge to date with a bit of Blink 182.

I wonder if ‘all the small things’ has a deeper meaning after her struggles over the last few years...

Some brief confusion on court as the announcer here asks Tesni Evans if she is the most famous person from Bangor. She replies: “I don’t know as I’m not from Bangor, I’m from Rhyl.”

She then tells BBC Sport about that epic 3-1 win over Laura Massaro: “There was a lot of emotion on that. It was so hard at the end. When it’s Laura coming back at you it’s so hard.

“Being 2-0 up I felt good but she came back hard. It was huge. Playing like that willl only ever give me confidence. I felt like I could see the finish line and I felt that too early.”

Evans is in the semi-final tomorrow and she cuts a confident figure.

Fancy a bit of early morning hockey?

India begin their campaign today as they take on Pakistan.

You can watch it over here.

Another surprise in the men's sprint. Englishman Ryan Owens who qualified fourth fastest is pipped on the line by Trinidad and Tobago's Nicholas Paul. That's an upset but the officials are checking whether Owens was impeded. You're not allowed to leave the sprinters line in the latter stages remember.

... And they have ruled in Owens favour! He scrapes through thanks to a disqualification.

Scot Jack Carlin progressed more comfortably earlier.

That’s up there with the most fiercely contested event I’ve seen out here so far. Laura Massaro faced three match points, the rallies were long, the referee was repeatedly a target for both players, with fans even shouting “what are you doing.”

Any rally ended with screams from the winner and after 55 minutes, Tesni Evans does it. A 3-1 win, she’s absolutely overjoyed.

No Ashes-style rancour and banter as the two quartets meet over the finishline.

Hugs, congratulations and consolations all exchanged between the teams.

That does not mean England are happy however. Alistair Brownlee especially looks like someone has served him a pint of bitter straight from the eski.

That was close from Holly Knowles. The welsh weightlifter was one snatch away from being disqualified from the women's 63kg final.

The 21-year-old cleared 73kg in her final attempt in the snatch.

England's Zoe Smith and Northern Ireland's Emma Mcquaid are yet to start lifting.

MORE DRAMA IN THE CYCLING!

Australia's Matt Glaetzer, who set a world record in qualifying and is the world champion in this event, is dumped out of the men's sprint in the 1/8 round.

Muhammad Shah Firdaus Sahrom of Malaysia has ruined this crowd's evening, but he's through to the quarter-finals.

A new world record for Scotland's Neil Fachie and pilot Matt Rotherham in the men's blind and visually impaired sprint. And it's only the qualifying rounds!

The duo, who already have gold in the men's blind and visually impaired 1000m time trial, will qualify fastest for the semi-finals with a time of 9.568 seconds.

They celebrate by lifting their bike aloft and the crowd are lapping this up.

James Ball and pilot Peter Mitchell of Wales qualify second fastest.

Northern Ireland's Aidan Walsh follows Scotland's Stephen News into the quarter-finals of the men's -69kg.

A good final round sees the 21-year-old Belfast fighter home on a unanimous points decision.

That was silky smooth from Walsh, whose sister Michaela is also fighting on the Gold Coast.

On the show court, 2014 silver medalist Laura Massaro is up against it, 2-1 down to Wales’ Tesni Evans in a best of five quarter-final.

Massaro is ranked higher but has lost her last two outings against Evans.

Huge scream of “come on” by Massaro. The blood is boiling down there as Massaro gets angered by officiating.

She’s 9-8 up in this game. First to 11. Are we going to a decider?

Alistair and Jonny Brownlee, Learmonth and Holland embrace on the finish line. Not to be for them today.

New Zealand finish a minute further back to take bronze while Wales finish sixth and Scotland seventh.

Alistair Brownlee gave it everything he could but the deficit was just too great. He comes home 52 seconds behind Australia.

It's a medal for the Brownlees, Jess Learmonth and Vicky Holland but not the one they were after.
