Scotland narrowly beaten by NZ

So close yet so far.

Scotland battled hard against the mighty New Zealand, but they never really looked like scoring an equaliser in the final period.

Nevertheless, there is a lot for the Scots to build on before a very winnable game against Kenya - the lowest ranked team in the competition - on Monday.

Commonwealth champions - England.

A hard-fought final for the women's gymnastics team but all worth it to have those gold medals round their necks. And, of course, the bull teddy.

Jamaica's athletics team might have been hit by a high-profile withdrawal.

Nothing official yet, but Andre Lowe of the Jamaica Observer says that world 200m champion Shericka Jackson has confirmed to the Jamaican team that she will skip Birmingham.

He is not the only one. Another Jamaican outlet, SportsMax, says that she intends to run on the Diamond League circuit in Poland instead.

England rue 'hardest draw'

Did England's women pay the price for not beating Nigeria in their final group match? Perhaps so.

It meant they finished as runners-up behind Singapore and would face one of the group winners in the quarter-finals.

That turned out to be Wales and England, who won bronze four years ago, lost 3-0.

“It was very difficult, we probably had the hardest draw of the Commonwealth Games but well played to Wales, they played really well and got through their group first," said England's Maria Tsaptsinos.

“We had the hardest group, coming in as 12th seeds after winning bronze in 2018.

“We had the number one seeds in our group and then Nigeria who were probably the hardest of the other lot to beat and we put it all out against them this morning.

"I think there was nothing left in the tank, to be honest.”

Wales beat England to reach semi-finals

The future is bright for Wales in women's table tennis. And the time might even be now.

The Wales team includes two teenagers - Lara Whitton and Anna Hursey and is led by Charlotte Carey, who played in her first Commonwealth Games aged 14 but is now the 'old head' at the age of 26.

Tomorrow they will be playing in the semi-finals after cruising to a 3-0 win over England this evening in the quarters.

Chloe Thomas Wu Zhang and Hursey won the opening doubles before Carey and Hursey clinched victory by winning their singles rubbers.

Now they play Malaysia on Sunday, knowing victory will secure at least a silver medal.

Medal table

.

Here's how things look on the medal table as day two nears its close.

Hockey

Scotland are digging deeper than the miners in the Fife coalfields.

The hockey stars are going well into their physical and mental reserves as they try to cause a scene against defending champions New Zealand.

Still 1-0 as we go into the final quarter.

Tight, tense and all to play for.

'An honour to be a part of a dominant era'

England's Tom Dean, who won two silver medals today: "It was always going to be a hell of a race. Duncan just said to me 1-2 again, it’s just what we do. 1 and 2 in the Worlds last year. 1 and 2 in the Commonwealth Games here. We’re in the prime age of 200m freestyle for GB and how much of an honour it is to be part of such a dominant era.

"I can’t begin to tell you what the last 12 months have been like. I posted a video the other day, one year on from my family celebrating in the garden from that Olympic win. I watch it back and Duncan and I have won two again there so you know… 12 months on to do that again, I can’t really ask for much more."

Bodes well for future relays? "100%. Not so much for our relays here, being on different teams, but we’re looking at World Championships 2023. Ultimately Paris 2024, that’s what it’s all about. We want to stamp our names as the 4 x200m country to beat, we beat the Americans last year. So few people can say they’ve achieved that feat. To be a part of that is incredible and the boys want to go to Paris and do it again."

Competing with Scott: "Duncan’s always in good shape. Duncan could take a year out of the water and he’ll be in good shape, he’s an incredible athlete. He’s a natural born swimmer, natural born racer. So if there’s anyone to beat me, it’s an honour that it was him."

Can these England pros play street cricket?

England players Sophie Ecclestone, Danni Wyatt and Nat Sciver took on the best street cricketers in Birmingham in a warm-up match before the Games.

Gymnastics

Gymnastics commentator on BBC TV

A different end to the competition than the start for Wales but they are very young team and it is incredible what they've achieved.

Fiji at the rugby sevens double?

There we have it. Another 24 games today and 48 in total over two days with Sunday set to provide the medal places.

Fiji remain on course for a Commonwealth Games rugby sevens double in Coventry.

Fiji women's final opponents on Sunday will be Australia who beat defending champions New Zealand 17-12 in an enthralling semi-final.

In the men's event, Olympic champions Fiji face New Zealand in the semi-final while South Africa play Australia in the other.

Scotland, Wales and England will not be involved in any of the medal matches on the final day of competition.

Hopefully Tom Dean and Lewis Burras are not going to have to go and get the bus again after that!

Silver medal - England

It is silver for England!

Tom Dean pushed really hard but Australia produced a Games record time to take the gold.

Canada take the bronze.

Swimming

Australia swoop into the lead at the start of the final leg. All down to Tom Dean on this anchor leg to chase down Australia for the gold.

Swimming

England are into the lead at the halfway stage, just ahead of Canada but Australia are pushing up from third.

Incredibly tight.
