A solid effort from Scotland in the third quarter.

They scored nine and conceded 23 against top seeds Australia. Scotland can't keep the Diamonds out, but they're still scoring goals which is keeping the crowd happy.

Victory was never going to be on the cards in this group game but the Thistles have probably exceeded a lot of fans' expectations with this performance against one of the favourites for gold.

Jessica Stenson of Australia is striding ahead in the women's marathon now as the 40km mark flashes up on the screen. The legs are probably burning, the crowds are definitely cheering and the finish line is just about in sight.

And just like that, Dan Bigham's Commonwealth Games record is gone!

New Zealander Tom Sexton shaves more than two seconds off Bigham's time to set a new record of four minutes 8.689 seconds.

Without the catch it is really impressive from Dan Bigham.

How you sprint while keeping completely still, head between your hands and not looking where you are going is quite the feat.

England's Dan Bigham sets a new Commonwealth Games record with his time of four minutes 11.078 seconds in his heat against Wales' William Roberts.

Impressive stuff. That puts Bigham in the gold medal final as it stands.

Bigham is also a highly-respected engineer in the cycling world and works for professional team Ineos Grenadiers, having worked with Denmark's Olympic team pursuit squad for Tokyo 2020.

Scotland may not be able to match Australia for height or skill given the professionalism of the Diamonds' netball set-up, but they are scrappy.

They will not let any opportunity pass them by, working hard to keep every ball in play on their attack and reaching for any possible interception in defence.

It's serving them well so far, with three goals to show for this quarter. They've conceded 10, but still.

The closest finish we ever had in the women's marathon was when Kerryn McCann outkicked Helen Cherono to win the 2006 race in Melbourne by less than a second. I wonder if we are heading towards something like that?

Have a watch of Adam Peaty doing Adam Peaty things in the pool earlier this morning.

We're off again for the second half at the netball.

Scotland are already close to bettering Barbados' effort of 18 goals against Australia yesterday.

Now to see if they can stop the Diamonds nearing 100 as they did in their opener.

It's been a gutsy performance from Scotland so far, all will be well.

Scotland confirm qualification for the quarter-final of the men's rugby sevens in Coventry despite a 34-0 Pool B defeat by South Africa.

Victories over Tonga and Malaysia on Friday had already booked a place in the last eight for Scotland as they are confirmed as runners-up behind a very impressive South Africa side.

Scotland will wait for the quarter-final opponents with two matches remaining in Saturday's opening session, both in Pool C.

Canada face Zambia before Wales play Olympic champions Fiji.

John Archibald, silver medallist on the Gold Coast and brother of Olympic madison champion Katie, is the first of three Scots in men's pursuit qualifying.

Plenty of shouts of 'mon John' accompany the 31-year-old as he rattles around the track.

He was hovering around third fastest until the second half of his ride, and the volume in here cranked up as soon as he went into first position.

And he held onto it too with a storming finish! Still quite a few riders to go, but Archibald is in the gold medal race as it stands.

Less than 30 minutes left in the women's marathon and the trio of Australia's Jessica Stenson, Kenya's Margaret Muriuki and Helalia Johannes of Namibia lead the field. However, it's Stenson who is just starting to dictate the pace of this race and gain a few steps on her competitors.

He is indeed, Squashua!

Peaty said he had blown out the cobwebs after qualifying for tonight's 100m breaststroke semi-finals in fine style.

The reigning champion was the only swimmer to finish in under one minute in the heats.

Rapid.

Perrett didn't fade as much as I expected. Good well-paced ride, with good control as soon as the gate opened.

Early catch, and just kept going in the same vein.

England's Will Perrett easily wins his heat of the men's IP qualifying, going top of the standings early doors with his time of four minutes 14.393 seconds.

Jersey's Rhys Pilley stops the clock more than 20 seconds later.

Scotland goal defence Emily Nicholl is on fire!

A superb interception in the circle gives her team a chance at a late goal, but instead it's Australia who turn possession around and grab one more goal for good measure.

Story of Scotland's quarter really. The Diamonds are just too good and extend their lead to 35-16 at half-time.

Squashua: Adam Peaty broke his foot 10 weeks ago and finishes fastest and just 3 seconds outside of his own world record?! Fair play, the bloke’s a machine!

Gareth Furlong scored four times as Wales thrashed Canada 5-1 in their Pool B opener at the Commonwealth Games.

Defender Furlong scored a first-quarter hat-trick of drag flicks before Gareth Griffiths added another at the end of the third quarter.

Furlong netted his fourth from a penalty corner in the closing stages, before Canada's Matthew Sarmento scored a late consolation effort.

Ooft. The crowd groans as Scotland goal attack Emma Love falls flat on her back after a tussle with Australia's defenders.

Supposed to be a non-contact sport this...

The Thistles are having a much tougher time of it in this second quarter as Australia start to gather speed.

The Scots have scored four goals in this quarter to Australia's 14 so far.
