Five overs in and there's plenty of action at Edgbaston.

India opener Smriti Mandhana races to 24 off 17 balls before feathering one behind to the keeper.

And that wicket has ever so slightly slowed down India with batters Shafali Verma and Astika Bhatia struggling to find the boundary and settling for singles.

This feels like a crucial point in the race.

World number one Hayden Wilde is part of a three-strong breakaway group on the bike leg. Alongside him is fellow New Zealander Tayler Reid and South African Jamie Riddle.

They have 16 seconds on the chasing pack after the first lap.

Mysteron_Voice: A 750m swim, 20km bike and 5km run, but that's OK, it's only a *sprint* triathlon today...

Scotland capitalise on a flurry penalty corners finally making one count with a slip left to Charlotte Watson.

The forward is calm under pressure, slotting the ball between the onrushing keeper's legs.

But less than a minute later South Africa are back level as Lisa-Marie Deetlefs bundles home a rebound.

Not a bad first quarter.

Scotland's women's team have just had a huge cheer as they run out ahead of their fixture with South Africa.

We're all set for the second hockey match at Birmingham 2022 after reigning champions New Zealand thrashed Kenya 16-0 in the opening game this morning.

Stream hockey live right here.

On to the Women's 200m freestyle in the pool.

Harper Jean Barrowman is pretty much out of sight as she wins heat one for the Cayman Islands, finishing over 11 seconds ahead of Ghana's Zaira Forson.

After the ring-walk through the crowd, the Commonwealth's finest triathletes are duking it out on the swim leg.

I say finest. South Africa's Henri Schoeman, the defending champion, is a late no-show.

The first out of the water is New Zealand's Tayler Reid, with England's Alex Yee not far behind.

Jersey's Daniel Lee is the early fan favourite here at Arena Birmingham courtesy of an excellent display in the first rotation of the men's team final and individual qualification.

He leads the all-around standings with a score of 78.050 having secured the top-score on the floor, rings and parallel bars.

A few Northern Irish voices making themselves heard in the arena as they prepare to see their three athletes in the second rotation which begins at midday.

Among them, of course, is defending pommel horse champion Rhys McClenaghan.

Fancy watching Ellie Boatman sticking on the afterburners in England's easy win over Sri Lanka in the women's rugby sevens? Here you go.

In the women's tandem B sprint, the semi-finals consist of (up to) three races to determine who goes through to which final.

In race one, Australia's Jessica Gallagher (pilot: Caitlin Ward) beat Scotland's Libby Clegg (Jenny Holl), while Scotland's Aileen McGlynn (Ellie Stone) pipped England's Sophie Unwin (Georgia Holt) to the line.

Women's cricket has just got going for the first time at the Commonwealth Games with India taking on Australia in a repeat of 2020's World T20 final.

A men's 50-over tournament was held in Kuala Lumpur in 1998, but this Twenty20 competition is exclusively for women.

India have won the toss and chosen to bat first at Edgbaston.

You can watch that all here.

I think she will you know....

Really good swim from England's Freya Colbert who wins with plenty to spare.

Summer McIntosh is in cruise control through her heat. The 15-year-old world champion qualifies for the final with ease.

She broke the world junior record over 200m freestyle leading off the Canadian relay in Budapest as well.

Big things expected again here from the Canadian.

Could Scotland's Katie Shanahan squeeze into the final with her time...? We shall find out very shortly.

There is no fairytale for Jamaica in the opening men's rugby sevens match against Australia who ease to a 62-0 victory.

Australia centre Samu Kerevi set the tone as he proved he is settling into sevens life easily by scoring a first-half hat-trick.

The Downeys are down from Cumbria.

Who are they supporting? Well, it's complex.

Mum Helen insists Team England, but dad Richard, from Northern Ireland, is a little bit of a reluctant recruit to the cause.

He just about brought himself to wear a white and red British and Irish Lions training top. That far and no further. You have to have certain lines don't you.

Interesting feedback for the organisers by the way. They would have liked to buy tickets for the swimming as well, but found with Shay, Isla and Orla rounding out a family of five, they couldn't get seats all together.

They unrestricted seating of the grandstand means no such problems here at the triathlon.

Gaenor and Helena Coy have come down from Ikley to support their son and brother Dominic, who is competing in the men's race for Wales today.

They say they haven't heard from him this morning, but that is more likely to be typically laid back approach to family communication rather than any pre-race jitters.

"I am probably more nervous than he is," says Gaenor.

Big props for sister Helena, herself a keen triathlete, who produced a felt-tip draining piece of artwork in support of her sibling. A couple of hours work in there...

There will be no gold medal for England's Laura Kenny, Josie Knight, Maddie Leech and Sophie Lewis.

Their time is only good enough for the bronze medal final, where they will face Wales.

The Welsh line-up of Megan Barker, Ella Barnwell, Anna Morris and Jessica Roberts clock 4:20.398.

That race, coming up in the later session today, will be a feast for the home crowd!

It's Australia v New Zealand for the gold.

That was a good ride from Wales. They rode it technically well, paced themselves within their capabilities - they got the most out of the four they have available.
