Birmingham-born wing defence Stacey Francis-Bayman got a huge cheer when she came on as a substitute.

"I don't think we've ever been cheered so loudly for a warm-up," she said on court after the win.

"I think the crowd can be better and we can be better too."

Halfway through Australia's run chase and the world champions are struggling on 66-5.

India were 75-2 at this stage as they accelerated towards their big total. They won't let up just yet though; Australia are favourites for the gold medal for a reason.

A packed crowd at the NEC goes wild! Stellar stuff from England to begin their netball title defence.

They'll have much greater challenges to come - namely New Zealand before the end of the group stage - but it's a dominant 74-22 win against Trinidad and Tobago to open their account.

Eleanor Cardwell, Laura Malcolm, Sophie Drakeford-Lewis, Layla Guscoth and Imogen Allison have all got their Commonwealths debuts out of the way in style too.

The players stay on the court after their win to wave at a joyful crowd with England flags popping up all over the place.

Olympic men's champions Fiji finished the opening session of the rugby sevens tournament in style with a 52-0 victory over Zambia.

Scotland will be happy with a 41-0 win over Tonga but England and Wales will now struggle to reach the quarter-finals following heavy defeats against Samoa and Canada respectively.

Earlier, England's Ellie Boatman proved the star turn with four first-half tries in the women's 57-0 win over Sri Lanka.

We will be back for the evening session around 17:30 BST.

Reigning world champions Australia are collapsing!

Rachael Haynes is the latest to go, mistiming a short one from Deepti Sharma and striking the ball straight to the fielder at cover.

Quick update from the netball: England are still winning big.

Seven minutes to go in their opening game. That is all.

Well, that didn't last long. Reese Lynch barely broke sweat in skelping Timon Aaree of Kiribati in the first round of his last 32 bout in the light-welterweight division. A strong start in the Scot's bid for a Commonwealth medal to add to the world silver he claimed last year.

Wales' Emyr Evans has cruised through to the Round of 32 of the men's singles squash after a comfortable 3-0 victory over British Virgin Islands' Luca Reich.

Evans' compatriot Peter Creed faces Othniel Bailey of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines later today and Scotland's Rory Stewart will also be in Round of 64 action against Kenya's Muqtadir Nimji in the evening session.

There is such depth in England squad - the ability to have players come on and do a job. The ball has flowed nicely through the court.

It has been relentless from England and Trinidad and Tobago have been struggling to break through but we have seen some great turnover play. But the pressure England have put on them have made it difficult to break through their wall.

When England are playing with smiles on their faces - you know they are in a good place.

Wow, take a bow Renuka Singh Thakur.

The India bowler has just taken four wickets for 12 runs off her three overs.

Australia are stunned.

An 'England' chant is going strong at the NEC.

The netballers are up 57-13 against Trinidad and Tobago as the third quarter ends.

This one is only going one way it seems. The Roses need to secure a top-two finish in their group to make the semi-finals and they're getting their campaign off to a dominant start.

Multiple gold medal-winning Paralympian swimmer on BBC TV

I have heard from friends competing that this pool feels fast, so I am looking forward to an excellent night of our first swimming finals of the Games.

The fans want to see medals, but I am excited to see the times as well.

South Africa's Pieter Coetze waltzed through men's 100m backstroke heats finishing half a second better than England's Brodie Williams.

Fellow Englishman Luke Greenback also qualified comfortably with James McFadzen also making it through.

Scotland's Martyn Walton and Craig McNally also advance along with Welsh swimmers Joe Small and Liam White and Jersey's Harry Shalamon.

England cricket captain Heather Knight will miss her side's opening match at the Commonwealth Games against Sri Lanka with a hip injury.

Knight picked up a knock against South Africa in the first match of their recent T20 series.

She’s still hopeful of making the second game.

Men's vault

Northern Ireland's Ewan McAteer scores 13.950 on the vault, putting him second behind Emil Barber in the standings.

It's a really good session for NI's gymnasts, all three of whom look well-placed to reach the final of their chosen apparatus.

You may remember these were the three gymnasts who were recently told by the International Gymnastics Federation that they were not permitted to compete at these games.

A hugely disrupted build-up for them, but they've delivered on the big day. Chapeau.

Someone call up Google Maps - it is so hard for Trinidad and Tobago to find a way through.

Wales' hopes have of reaching the quarter-finals of the men's rugby sevens tournament have been dealt a major blow following a 31-0 defeat against Canada in Coventry.

Alex Russell, Cooper Coats and Jake Thiel scored first-half tries as Canada opened up a 17-0 half-time lead.

Coats and Matthew Owuru added second-half tries.

Wales will play Zambia this evening before facing Fiji in the final group game on Saturday with two sides qualifying for the last eight.

It looks like now Wales will have to beat OIympic champions Fiji to keep alive any hopes of reaching the medal matches.

The world's number one batter is gone!

Meg Lanning gets a cut shot all wrong, slicing the ball in the air and allowing Radha to take a crucial catch on the dive.

Australia are in all sorts of trouble as India's Renuka Singh Thakur has a second wicket.
