Alicia Blagg and Katherine Torrance take silver! They only dived together for the first time in January!

Australians Esther Qin and Georgia Sheehan win gold.

Malaysia's Mun Yee Leong and Nur Dhabitah Sabri take bronze.

Malaysia land on their back. They take bronze but...

James Hollands: Wow this women’s 3m synchronised springboard competition has had drama right from the off! Well into round 5 and have no idea who will win the medals...

Another shocker from Canada. They only go fourth.

That means Alicia Bragg and Katherine Torrance are guaranteed at least bronze.

New Zealand go third with their last dive. England still in silver. Two to go.

Australia's Qin and Sheehan boss it. They go top.

The best England can get now is silver.

South Africa don't go in front of England. Their dive is only good enough for second.

Four dives left.

One of the Aussie favourites lands on her head! It's a failed dive!

A huge opening for the English pair. Is a medal coming up?

Will it be enough? They're the first out and they needed to lay down the a gauntlet.

They've done an ok job but I don't know if it's going to be enough to hold on for a medal.

Will Team England start off with a medal in the diving?

England are first up...

Eeeeek. It's messy again, only 60.30. They set the mark at 276.90.

If three pairs don't go past that then Bragg and Torrance will get a medal.

Somehow that Canadian dive has been scored at 33. The Malaysians then move up into silver with the last dive of the round.

Into the final round we go.

England are in third on 216.60.

Australia first on 224.31. Malaysia second on 222.60

The second Aussie pair are fourth on 213.00.

The Canadians drop from first to fifth on 201.78.

Wales already knew they couldn't qualify for the knockout stages before their Pool A match against Malaysia earlier but defeat means they exit the competition bottom of the group with just three points from their four games.

Today the Welsh team lost 1-0 to Malaysia...

She has a knee buckle and I think that's a failed dive. Jennifer Abel hasn't made her dive.

Canada are completely out of it now.

After that poor dive the English pair are in second but are given a lifeline as the Canadians make a huge error. Jennifer Abel's feet almost go in the water before her fingers.

There's a long wait while the judges decide whether the dive should count or whether it should be a failed dive - i.e. not the dive they have said they are trying to complete.

Either way the Canadians look absolutely gutted. They are out of contention.

Well boxed Anja Stridsman, who wins a unanimous points decision and will now go home with at least a bronze medal. Not bad with a knackered knee. Cue AC/DC in the arena.

This is English diver Alicia Blagg’s first major event since Rio 2016.

She won Commonwealth gold alongside now retired diver Rebecca Gallantree at Glasgow 2014 and their stunned faces became one of the most iconic pictures of the Games.

After the pair finished sixth at the Olympics Blagg moved to Florida to study but she made the briefest of cameos back in the UK earlier in the year to compete alongside Katherine Torrance and secure their place at Gold Coast 2018.

Her immediate future lies out in the USA and Torrance’s regular partner - Scotland’s Grace Reid - will be expected to rejoin Torrance later in the season, but a strong result here could create an interesting challenge for selectors.

Uh oh. English pair Alicia Blagg and Katherine Torrance score only 52.20 on their fourth dive. Blagg's dive is way out. She is only given a three from one judge.

A fine effort from Canada's Jennifer Abel and Melissa Citrini-Beaulieu and England's Blagg and Torrance are knocked off top spot.

The English pair are still holding onto second but only 0.30 ahead of Malaysia in bronze.

Aussie favourites Keeney and Smith are only two points behind in fourth too. Nervy times. Fourth dive coming up.

It’s a capacity crowd of around 2,500 people here for the first diving final of the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games but they’re having to be more than a little patient this morning as the venue is experiencing “technical difficulties.”

The judges score pads were working ok for the men’s preliminaries earlier but now they have had to revert to old school score boards!

Not the best of starts for the organisers at the beginning of this women’s synchronised 3m springboard final.

It's a tremendous effort. Both divers executing their dive very well indeed but sadly the synchro is ever so slightly off.

There was a minibus-sized gap between them there.
