Check out the slam dunk below! You can watch Jonny Bunyan and co. in action for Scotland against Australia in the men's semi final at 01:00 BST

And one of England's Olympic and Commonwealth heroes of years gone by will be glued to the action...

England face India for the bronze medal at the Gold Coast Hockey Centre (01:30 BST).

They'll need to bounce back from an agonising shootout loss to New Zealand in the semi-final, which cost them a shot at gold.

The English will also want to keep up their impressive record of winning a medal at every Commonwealth Games since hockey was introduced 20 years ago.

0107 BST: Women’s 3m springboard preliminary

Scotland’s newly-crowned 1m champion Grace Reid reached the Rio Olympic final in the 3m event and was fourth at the World Championships last year. She’s fifth to dive. Synchronised silver medallists Alicia Blagg and Katherine Torrance – who threw away a 1m medal with a poor final dive – compete for England.

0247 BST: Men’s 10m platform preliminary

There’s no Tom Daley. England’s representatives are Matthew Dixon, Matty Lee and Noah Williams.Lucas Thomson competes for Scotland, and 2017 European junior bronze medallist Aidan Heslop goes for Wales.

And Grace Reid isn't planning on to leave Australia with just the one gold medal...

The English lads weren't the only ones celebrating gold in the diving pool yesterday. Scotland's Grace Reid won the women's 1m springboard, claiming second diving medal of the Games.

Her success follows Heatly winning Scotland's first Commonwealth diving medal since 1958 with bronze in the men's 1m springboard.

There's a brief dash off the front of the peloton by Anna Christian of the Isle of Man. That sparks a flurry of activity behind her.

The attack comes to naught but it does finally erase the advantage of long-time leader Kimberley Ashton.

The Jersey rider drops into the middle of the pack and casts a sideways glance to the TV camera, puffs out her cheeks, stretches her legs and takes a moment to reflect on her efforts so far.

60km remaining.

Kimberley Ashton has found a second wind and the peloton has again eased its efforts slightly.

And that adds up to Ashton extending her lead out to around 30 seconds again.

But once more she toils on an incline and the bunch returns to within shouting distance. It's almost cruel this, leaving Ashton out there on her own.

65km remaining.

0100 BST: Mens' semi-final

Scotland have defied expectations to reach the last four, where they face defending champions Australia.

Scotland’s new coach Rob Beveridge is an Aussie and has coached 11 of the 12 players in the Boomers squad.

He says of the hosts: “Anything less than gold for them is failure. It’s a scary thing to try to put a game plan together against Australia because they’re an F1 car and we’re a V8…but we’re here to get on the podium.”

Kimberley Ashton maintains her lead after two laps of the women's road race.

But her advantage is just nine seconds, with England's Mel Lowther leading the peloton over the line. Just 75km remaining.

0300 BST: Men's singles semi-finals

England’s Rajiv Ouseph has a formidable barrier in his way of a second successive Commonwealth singles final – world number one Kidambi Srikanth, who is India’s Sportsman of the Year.

0300 BST: Women's singles semi-finals

Kirsty Gilmour’s quarter-final only lasted eight minutes before her opponent retired injured so the Scot should be fresh. She’ll need to be – her opponent is 2010 champion Saina Nehwal.

0400 BST: Mixed doubles semi-finals

A cracker is in store as defending champions Chris and Gabby Adcock face Rio Olympic silver medallists Chan Peng Soon & Goh Liu Ying. In the other semi-final, England’s Marcus Ellis & Lauren Smith meet Ashwini Ponnappa & Satwiksairaj Rankireddy of India.

Not all the athletes have had to set an alarm clock as early as the cyclists. We're about an hour or so from the rest of the day's action getting under way.

Let's take a look at what is coming up, starting with badminton...

Kimberley Ashton's lead is being whittled away at an incredible speed. The Jersey rider's time out front looks to be nearing an end.

She sucks on an energy gel, casts a glance over her right shoulder and can see the peloton not too far behind her. In fact, the lead is down to 20 seconds.

Ashton looked to be toiling on the previous incline and will soon be caught.

80km remaining.

Scotland's Louise Haston is the first rider to abandon the race. She crosses the start-finish line at the end of lap one some three minutes behind the race leader.

She looks a little tearful as she pulls off to the right. You may recall Haston won two silver medals on the track at Glasgow 2014 as tandem pilot to Aileen McGlynn in the sprint and kilo races.

England's Jack Laugher secured a third gold medal of the Commonwealth Games on the day Dan Goodfellow and Tom Daley won the synchronised 10m platform.

Laugher, already 1m and 3m springboard champion, and Chris Mears added to their 2016 Olympic gold in the men's synchronised 3m springboard event.

Matthew Dixon and Noah Williams took silver behind Daley and Goodfellow.

While keeping you up to date with the cycling, we'll also be building up to today's other key action on the Gold Coast and filling you in with anything which you might have missed yesterday.

Starting with plenty of English success in the diving pool...

Olympic cycling champion on the Gold Coast

The advantage is one minute, 34 seconds at the end of the first lap. Nobody is looking overly concerned at this stage.

There's a bit of a hiatus in the peloton. Everyone is looking to the Australians, as the most powerful team, to close down the gap, which is now out to more than a minute.

But the ladies in the gold and green are playing a canny game and appear to be saying to their rivals, if you want to go for it, fill your boots.

With 95km remaining, they are content to let Kimberley Ashton tire herself out before mounting their challenge.

Scotland's Louise Haston is also out of the peloton. Sadly for here though, she is out the back with a rider from Belize and faces a long haul to catch up.
