Meet Jake Rapira, the New Zealand coach and cut man. You may be able to pick up on his red and blue beard, a nod to the two ring corners in boxing.

Rapira was challenged to shave his beard off if the team won five medals. He claims he never agreed to it but as the number drew close, he said he would dye it as a compromise. Blue and red it is then.

On a more serious note, he’s absolutely beaming. He explains to me that his fighters don’t get any funding anymore. It’s all achieved through sponsors and fundraising. Coaches like him have to pay to attend events too.

Huge respect. There wouldn’t be the big names in boxing if people like Jake weren’t bringing them through.

In case you've just missed it, or want to watch it again, see how Laura Weightman earned a place on the podium...

It's victory for Chris and Gabby Adcock! They win 21-19 21-17 and they're into Sunday's gold medal match with the opportunity to defend their Commonwealth title.

In the other semi-final, Marcus Ellis and Lauren Smith have restored parity with a 21-18 win in the second game. Will we see an all-English final?

Laura Weightman was aware that she was making up ground and once she started to kick she had something left in her legs. She will go away and work on it in the future.

While Laura Weightman celebrates bronze with a St George's flag in hand, here's how the other home athletes fared...

We are entering the business end of the men's road race and James McLaughlin of Guernsey and Tom Stewart of England are continuing to set the pace.

Rwanda's Joseph Areruya, who had been out front with them, has dropped back.

They are about a minute clear of the chasing peloton, which is being pulled along by a couple of Australia riders. Luke Rowe of Wales is also in contention.

Dani Rowe, his sister-in-law, won bronze for Wales in the women's road race a little earlier.

Another change at half-time for England as Eboni Beckford-Chambers comes on at goal defence for a third combination of the day.

And it seems to have worked! Geva Mentor gets a vital intercept to deny Jhaniele Fowler-Reid as England score the first three goals of the half.

Well, the first half of the match has zipped by in Coomera but England have it all to do if they are to make their first ever Commonwealth Games final.

Jamaica haven’t made many mistakes and captain Jhaniele Fowler-Reid has been virtually unstoppable when it comes to goals.

I’m not sure how many Jamaica fans are here but the neutrals are definitely cheering for them.

There are pockets of England fans and they did join in when a lone singer started yelling “Let’s go England, let’s go”.

Let’s go!

England have allowed Jamaica to settle into this game and they are shooting incredibly well at 97%.

I'll be surprised if the seven that came off at half time, is the same seven that comes back out for the second half.

Worse-case scenario has happened, so England have to relax and play their game.

It wasn't the fastest race. It was pedestrian early on but it was hot and humid. The looked like marathon runners by the time they finished. So well done Laura Weightman.

England have a HUGE second half if they're going to turn this one around and make their first Commonwealth Games final.

They've looked panic-stricken in attack and disjointed in defence.

The Sunshine Girls - led by captain Jhaniele Fowler-Reid at one end and Shamera Sterling at the other - have a six goal advantage at the break, and it could have been more.

They're shooting at 97% compared to just 84% from England. What will Tracey Neville have to say in that changing room?

Longer distance? No problem! Laura Weightman, England's 1500m specialist, captures a brilliant bronze in the 5,000m.

Weightman's coach Steve Cram, sat in the commentator's seat for BBC TV, beams with pride as he lets colleague Paula Radcliffe eulogise about her performance.

Kenya's world champion Hellen Obiri kicks in to ease to the gold medal, winning in 15:13.11 ahead of team-mate Margaret Kipkemboi (15:15.28).

Weightman closes on the bronze position on the back straight, Obiri breaks away on the bend...

Well, this isn't going to plan. Still glad you got up early?

England are the better side on paper, and they're unbeaten in this tournament so far... but have their heads gone?

Jhaniele Fowler-Reid has been deadly in that circle for Jamaica, as England make a third change with Jodie Gibson getting her chance at goal defence.

England's Laura Weightman has moved into fourth place... she's well in the mixer here. World champion Hellen Obiri is a step ahead of her team-mate Margaret Kipkemboi as the bell goes... nothing to close between them at the moment...

Kipkemboi and Obiri decide it's time to stick their feet on the gas. The Kenyan pair open up a 20-metre lead as they cross the 3000m mark. The bronze medal is anyone's at the moment. Hot and testing conditions out there...

Jhaniele Fowler-Reid is pretty much undefendable.

Jamaica look like they have rhythm and England need to break it somehow.

These player changes are about putting more defensive pressure on Jamaica
