Going back to the subject of that men's 3,000m steeplechase, last finisher Simon Charley of Vanuatu got a wonderful reception as he came down the home straight.

Charley, something of a celeb in Vanuatu, is also entered in the 10,000m later tonight.

He couldn't, could he?

Kimberly Bong of Malaysia is adorable.

Despite a ropey dive, the tiny teenager is all smiles and braces as she exits the pool.

The smile turns into a frown as she sees her score of 31.05 appear on the board, but she gets a cheer from the crowd and she's back to flashing that winning grin again.

Canada are trying to use their height advantage to get back into this match but they're not very accurate with their shots.

England have stalled a bit against a tighter defence and on a couple of occasions have failed to get shots away in the allotted time but three points from Rachael Vanderwal gives them a big lift at the end of the third quarter.

Lauren Price guarantees at least a boxing silver medal for Wales.

She beat Canada's Tammara Thibeault unanimously on points to face home favourite Caitlin Parker in the gold medal bout.

The 3m synchro champion Esther Qin of Australia was expected to be among the medal contenders for this one but she finds herself way off the pace in fifth.

A great dive from Julia Vincent of South Africa moves her top of the leaderboard after the third round of diving, while Scotland's Grace Reid holds on to second ahead of Aussie Georgia Sheehan.

A dazzling display of team skipping keeps us entertained at half-time as England run through their tactics during the break.

They don't need to change much - they have Canada on the ropes.

England head into the third quarter with a spring in their step as they eye a place in the final.

Grace Reid is aiming to become the first female Scottish diver to win a Commonwealth medal and she's looking in good form so far.

England, boosted by a trio of sharp three pointers, take control in the second quarter with guard Georgia Jones controlling the play.

The cries of "defence, defence" from their teammates on the bench seem to be working - Canada are struggling to make their shots.

They were neck and neck after 14 ends but England's Robert Paxton, from Taunton, has come through to beat Darren Burnett of Scotland 21-14 to take bronze in the men's singles.

England's Dan Goodfellow told BBC Sport how good it feels to win 10m Syncro diving gold with Tom Daley on the sandy Gold Coast beach.

"It feels amazing," he said.

"Going into this competition hasn't been too great because Tom's been injured and I've been injured off the last World Series we did. We only did our dives two or three times in practice so considering the circumstances, we're really happy."

"Five out of the six dives were really good and I think if we nailed the last dive it would have been a world class score but we had given ourselves a good enough lead."

Grace Reid could become the first female Scottish diver to win a Commonwealth medal today when she competes in the 1m event.

The 21-year-old was all smiles earlier when she eased through the preliminaries and this final will be wide open as it’s not an Olympic event and therefore none of the divers spend much time working on routines specifically for the discipline.

“The 3m (on Saturday) is obviously the main focus but I’ll still give it my all at 1m because it’s a final and there are medals up for grabs,” she tells me.

Australia’s Esther Qin and Georgia Sheehan - who won 3m synchro gold on Wednesday will be the favourites, but England’s Alicia Blagg and Katherine Torrance (synchro silver medallists could also be in contention.
