Marcus Ellis and Lauren Smith have taken the first game 21-19 in the gold medal match.

The pair took the lead for the first time at 20-19 before sealing the opener against Gabby and Chris Adcock.

They're one game away from causing a bit of an upset in this all-English final against the reigning champions.

Callum Hawkins picks up another bottle as he passes the water station, luckily this one is easier to get into.

A chomp of an electrolyte gel, a swig of the water and a placing of a fresh white cap. He goes through his routine and then cracks on.

He's past the halfway point in 1:07:44 and, most importantly, in the lead.

Callum Hawkins is living up to his billing as pre-race favourite. The Scot turned down the bucks at big-city marathons, including London, to win a medal here and is controlling the race as the leaders pass through the 20km mark in 1:04:22.

A good job from Scotland in the opening period and they've got a two-point lead to take into the second quarter.

The Scots are working at a 60% field goal percentage, with New Zealand on 50%. Where are the defences?

It's making for an exciting match!

No cracks appearing in that quartet at the front of the women's marathon. Aussie pair Jess Trengove and Lisa Weightman, along with Kenya's Sheila Jerotich and Namibia's Helalia Johannes are coasting along with about 12km left.

English pair Sonia Samuels and Alyson Dixon are about a minute behind, with Wales' Caryl Jones down in ninth place.

A night of table tennis medal matches lie ahead as England's Liam Pitchford and Tin Tin Ho take on Ning Gao and Mengyu Yu of Singapore in the mixed doubles gold medal match at 01:15 BST.

Sam Walker faces Sharath Achanta in the men's singles bronze medal match at 02:30.

At a loose end on your Saturday night?

Just watched your side lose on Match of the Day?

How about a pick me up. Here's what you can watch live now...

• Basketball. Scotland v New Zealand in bronze-medal match
• Badminton. All-England mixed doubles final.
• Athletics. Men's and women's marathons.

The action is underway in the all-English mixed doubles gold medal match, as Marcus Ellis and Lauren Smith take on Gabby and Chris Adcock.

The Adcocks are the reigning champions having prevailed in the final in Glasgow four years ago, which saw another all-English clash against Chris Langridge and Heather Olver.

Will they defend their title? It's a close contest in the early stages.

In the men's T54 marathon, there were two medals for England as John Smith won silver and Simon Lawson claimed bronze.

Speaking on BBC TV, Smith said:

"I'm happy that I prepared right. The course itself was very technical, which I like - I like a hard race.

"I came out here to win gold and I strongly believe I was good enough to win the gold. I promise everyone, if i'm not the best today then I'll be best tomorrow. I want to be the best in the world."

Compatriot Lawson added:

"It was quite technical, it was a lot better than I thought it would be when I had a drive round - it looked tight but once you were out there it was a good course.

"I've been here two weeks and the first week I wasn't ready to race but by the start of this week I was itching to get going.

"Hearing our names shouted around the course, it was really cool."

What an electric start by Scotland. Gareth Murray floats in a three from way downtown and there's Jonny Bunyan to add a second three-pointer in quick succession.

Scotland lead by six!

Oh no, this is a sad sight. Namibia's Namupala Reonard is one of those in the leading group, but pulls up with what looks like a muscle injury.

Reonard bravely tries to continue, but is limping heavily. He stops once again, falling to the floor in disappointment/pain, taking off his trainers and flinging them away in frustration. That's what it means. All that hard work snatched away...

The rest are through the 15km mark now, Australia's Liam Adams and Scotland's Callum Hawkins leading them.

Big news....Callum Hawkins has managed to crack the water bottle! The Scottish athlete takes on board some much needed fluid. But then he can't get his cap back on his head.

He's one of about a dozen men in the leading group as they jog along the scenic coastline. Looks like a scene out of Home and Away. Very pleasant.

We're just having a sing song at the basketball.

But following the national anthems, we've got a bronze medal to play for.

Scotland are taking on New Zealand, after a huge 103-46 semi-final defeat by Australia.

It's live here.

Final day of the Games, it's Saturday night, no excuse not to stay with us for the duration.

Here's what's coming up in the next hour or so...

• From 00:00 BST - Badminton. Mixed doubles gold, women's doubles gold, men's doubles gold - England in three finals.
• 00:00 - Basketball. Scotland v New Zealand in men's bronze medal.
• 00:53 - Rugby sevens. Women's and men's classification matches.
• 01:00 - Squash.Women's bronze-medal match featuring England's Sarah-Jane Perry and Laura Massaro.
• 01:15 - Table Tennis. Mixed doubles gold-medal match. England v Singapore.

Australia's Jess Trengove has a huge grin plastered over her face as she passes the 25km mark. That's because she's in the lead.

Huge crowds are lining the street, four or five deep, many waving Australian flags to cheer on their athlete.

Hot on her heels are Kenya's Sheila Jerotich, Namibia's Helalia Johannes and another Aussie Lisa Weightman, who has fought back to join the leading group.

The bad news is that England's Sonia Samuels and Alyson Dixon have dropped off the pace.

With the netball gold medal match taking place at 04:02 BST, Ayesha can have around four hours and five minutes of shut eye...

Earlier, England's Jade Jones won bronze in the women's T54 marathon, after winning the triathlon earlier in the Games.

She's been speaking on BBC TV:

"All my training was focused towards triathlon, so anything today was a bonus really. To come away with bronze is amazing.

"A lot has happened since Rio - Rio was really tough for me. I've worked so hard in the last two years and I'm a lot stronger now than I was back then."

Callum Hawkins, wearing a snapback white baseball cap and shades, looks like he's on a lads' trip to Ibiza. Marathon running ain't no holiday, though, let me tell you. Especially not in this morning Gold Coast sun. Looks beautiful out there.

Hawkins has been hauled back in by the chasing pack, Australia's Liam Adams taking over. Hawkins's biggest opponent at the moment is the bottle of water he's just picked up. He can't get the top off with his hands or his teeth.

The pursuit of Hawkins is causing the others to falter, even at this early stage. They're not even at 10k yet.

Meanwhile in the men's race, Callum Hawkins has decided enough is enough. After a slow first 5km, the Scot steps on the gas to open up a healthy advantage.
