Time to get excited. Alicia Blagg and Katherine Torrance are still in first position after the second round of dives. They have a two point lead. There are three more dives with the scores added together after each round.

Aussie favourites Maddison Keeney and Annabelle Smith are having a bit of a shocker. They are down in fifth.

Here are Blagg and Torrance for their third dive....

Hmmmm. A little out with the sychronisation. Only 64.80. That could cost them. Keeney and Smith improve too.

Next up is the quarter-finals of the women's 60kg and a huge roar for Australian Anja Stridsman, the hardest graphic designer in the land.

The Swedish-born Australian won three fights in qualifying with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament, which she has since had replaced with an Achilles taken from a corpse. I kid you not.

She faces another Indian, Sarita Devi.

The scoreboard has rebooted!

We can now tell you that England's Alicia Blagg and Katherine Torrance lead the standings after round one, ahead of favourites Australia and third placed Canada.

It's a sweltering day at the outdoor pool, so the divers are probably grateful for a dip in the cooler water - and the spectators envious.

Well boxed! It will be at least a silver medal for Northern Ireland and for Kristina O'Hara, who wins a unanimous decision.

She will face Indian legend Mary Kom in the final.

The final of the men's 50m pistol has just finished, but there was no place for this 63-year-old grandfather.

However, Barbadian Bernard Chase, who finished second from bottom in the qualifying round, might not mind so much as it took a lot for him to make it to the Australia at all.

The dreadlock-sporting fruit and veg farmer suffered a heart attack while out cycling last summer, and underwent emergency heart surgery.

In an an interview published in South African newspaper The Times,, external Chase said: "I remember praying, but the next thing I knew I was in hospital. They put me on a treadmill and found out I had a blockage in one of the small vessels of the heart -- I'm lucky to be here."

Chase, known as Ras to his friends and team-mates, was given the all-clear by his cardiologist to travel to the Gold Coast, to compete in his fourth Commonwealth Games.

Another good round for Kristina O'Hara, she's got a stinging jab on her and she is now into the final round.

The Malaysian pair staged a mini-fight back in the second game to bring the score to 9-8 but England's Waller and Selby held on to take it 11-8, and with it the match.

In the end England's Daryl Selby and Adrian Waller were too strong and they are now likely to finish top of Pool G and have qualified for the knockout stage.

So close to a medal for Kristian Callaghan. He is knocked out in fourth place. He turns and waves to a very excitable crowd. They're excited because we have an Aussie in the lead.

Tasmyn Benny holds her right hand up high like some sort of Mantis but Kristina O'Hara is not fazed, landing a straight right through in the opening seconds. Nicely done.

She's moving well.

There's drama at poolside as the computers that record the judges' scores appear to have broken.The judges have gone 'old school' and are using notepads to give their scores.

Wow. Kristian Callaghan looks resigned to his fate of being eliminated but then Swee Hon Lim fires scores only 5.3. That sees him drop into last place and Callaghan is in the final four.

Again he has it all to do to pull himself out of danger though. He's way behind the top three.

Kristina O'Hara comes out to the sound of the Pogues, she looks pumped. Her opponent, Tasmyn Benny of New Zealand looks a bit nervous to me. She's only 19.

Kristian Callaghan is now in joint last place. He needs a good shot here. That's not easy of course the 10 point area is the size of a golf ball and is 50m away.

....

Callaghan survives. Just. Bin Gai of Singapore goes next. Callaghan needs to pull himself up the standings now. He's in bottom place with five shooters left.

He will be eliminated if he doesn't move up over these next two shots.

Mery Kom wins on points and will go for gold in the final - potentially against Kristina O'Hara of Northern Ireland.

She boxes next.

Johnathan Wong of Malaysia is the next to be eliminated. Kristian Callaghan is in fifth place on 127.3. He's in touch of the lead but also could drop into the elimination places.

It's that tight.

Jack Laugher qualified safely for the men's 1m springboard a little earlier, where some athletes were complaining about the windy conditions.

Laugher said: "Obviously we don't have outdoor (diving) pools in England, so preparing for this was pretty difficult. It is always very hard when all you can see outside is blue, the blue water, the sky's blue, the stands are blue.

"We have been on the Gold Coast for a while, we've managed to adjust and I think five dives out of six have been pretty good."

Jitu Rai is out! That's the first elimination of this men's 50m pistol final. England's Kristian Callaghan is in contention but this is where things get interesting. Shooters will be eliminated every two shots now.

We could be in for a little bit of a shock in the shooting. India's shooting poster boy and defending champion Jitu Rai is in last place with one shot remaining until the first elimination.

And the first diving final is just getting under way in the pool. This is the women’s synchronised 3m springboard final. Reigning champion Alicia Blagg of England defends her title with a new partner, Katherine Torrance – who normally competes for Great Britain alongside Scot Grace Reid. Blagg and Torrance only competed together for the first time in January.

They will do well to beat Olympic bronze medallists Maddison Keeney and Annabelle Smith of Australia. The second Australian pairing and Canada’s Jennifer Abel & Melissa Citrini-Beaulieu are also strong.
