Given how many heptathletes ate held together with tape, it seems are that a representative of Elastoplast is on hand to dish out the medals to Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Niamh Emerson.

Grace Reid practically floated across poolside after collecting Scotland’s first Commonwealth diving gold medal for 60 years.

“Scottish diving is in an amazing place right now,” Reid tells me.

“We’ve come so far as a nation because at my first Games at Delhi 2010 there we’re just three of us competing and now we’re up there winning two medals.

Her success takes Scotland’s aquatics medal haul (including swimming) to 11 here at Gold Coast 2018, which is one more than they achieved at their home Games (Glasgow 2014) four years ago - and Reid goes again in the 3m event on Saturday.

England were beaten in a shoot-out by New Zealand in the women's hockey semi-finals on Thursday.

Former captain Kate Richardson-Walsh has been captivated by what she's seen on the hockey field.

England's men play Australia for a place in the final at 12:45 BST and the women will play for bronze against India at 01:30 on Saturday.

Is that a sport that does video reviews worse than football?

Certainly the system is pretty slick at the hockey.

Each team as one referral per match which, like in tennis, they choose when to call for.

India cashed in their chip during the third quarter. Instantly the referee's mic was turned up and his conversation with his colleague in the stands rings out over the PA.

Melodramatic organ music in the background, the video scrubbing back and forth on two big screens, even the emergency services are intrigued.

India's appeal against the initial decision is turned down, they lose their referral and we go on. Minimal fuss, middling entertainment.

Disappointment for England's team in the women's rugby sevens as they have been beaten 29-12 by Australia in their pool B match.

Tries from Abigail Brown and Deborah Fleming gave England a 12-5 lead after seven minutes, but Australia fought back in the second half for their second win in two matches today.

For England, it is one win, one loss after earlier beating Fiji 17-5. Wales lost for the second time, with a 29-7 loss against Fiji. England can still reach the semi-finals but must beat Wales tomorrow (09:59 BST).

New Zealand look the team to beat in this competition. They thrashed Kenya 45-0 earlier on today and racked up another seven tries with a 41-0 destruction of South Africa.

Semenya putting on a show once more. Totally dominant. She led it from gun to tape for a double gold performance.

Having already won the 1500m, South African Caster Semenya is now going for gold in her favoured event - the 800m.

English pair Paul Drinkhall and Liam Pitchford are guaranteed at least a silver medal in the men's doubles competition.

The duo have been in action twice today, beating Singapore's Ning Gao and Xue Jie Pang 3-2 in the quarter-finals and then India's Harmeet Desai and Sanil Shankar Shetty 3-0 in the semi-finals.

Drinkall and Pitchford take on another Indian pairing, Sharath Achanta and Sathiyan Gnanasekaran in Saturday's final (11:45 BST).

Pitchford will be aiming to get some revenge on Achanta after losing 4-2 to him in the men's singles quarter-finals earlier today. Elsewhere in the singles, England's Samuel Walker is into the semi-finals after a 4-0 victory over Gnanasekaran.

She's going to face mental challenges going forward. She has the Europeans coming this summer where she will face tougher competitions. She has to use this experience to prove she can run with the big girls.

This is something she has learned about herself. I'm looking forward to seeing her progress and I think her mental state is getting better but it has to be tested.

Yaaaaassss queens.

It is the best feeling because you've got through two days of tough competition. She's got the gold medal and hopefully her injury isn't too serious so she can relax.

“I can’t believe it, I’m speechless,” says Grace Reid after her historic 1m diving gold for Scotland.

She’s then hoisted in the air by fellow historic-making diver James Heatly who won 1m bronze on Wednesday. “You’re AMAZING,” he screams.

Reid’s main event is the 3m which takes place on Saturday. “This is a huge confidence boost,” she tells me.

“I guess I knew this was possible but I didn’t want to think about it during the competition and I’m just so proud.”

It's been a brilliant 20 minutes for the female home nations athletes.

I think she has an Achilles problem. I had the same little tear during my career because it's two days of a lot of fatigue.

Nina Schultz of Canada took the Heptathlon silver and joins England's Johnson-Thompson and Emerson on the podium.
