The women's 400m heats kicked off the action on the track this morning before a busy couple of hours.

Let's pop back to get a bit of reaction after England's Victoria Ohuruogu, Jodie Williams and Ama Pipi, and Scotland's Nicole Yeargin and Zoey Clark all progressed.

Australian pair Beth Mooney and Tahlia McGrath's partnership passes the 50 mark, but then looks to be over when McGrath is given out after trying to sweep a delivery from Sadia Iqbal.

McGrath is adamant she didn't nick the ball and the Aussies ask to review it.

She's right.

Leather clips glove - and not willow - on the way through tot he wicketkeeper and that saves McGrath.

The excitement of the heptathlon is that there are always surprises.

It always comes down to the 800m and that's great for the spectators.

If KJT can get a good throw in the javelin then she will be that one step closer.

Defending Commonwealth Games judo champion Natalie Powell of Wales will fight for her second gold medal in the 78kg class on Wednesday evening.

She won her semi-final by Ippon in just 54 seconds against Canada's Coralie Godbaut.

Powell will face top seed Emma Reid of England in the final after she beat Mora de Villiers of New Zealand 1-0.

She won the 2014 Games gold in Glasgow and the event was not held in Australia four years later.

In the men's cross country mountain biking, every component can be changed with the assistance of mechanics except for the frame. You have to finish the race on the frame you started with.

There's already been a few mechanicals, with riders having to walk their bikes to find help.

The current race leaders are New Zealanders Sam Gaze and Ben Oliver, who come through neck-and-neck with six laps to go.

The home nations are on the chase, though, with Scotland's Charlie Aldridge and Northern Ireland's Cameron Orr behind.

Ben Pattison spoke to BBC Sport's Jeanette Kwakye after winning his 800m heat and qualifying for the final.

"I've said I've never been that nervous but I think that's raised the bar because the crowd were amazing.

"When I kicked, I heard the roar and I thought I've just got to keep going for home now.

"The crowd distracted me from the pain in my legs so it was crazy and I loved it!

"I can't get my head around it!

"I'm still only 20, I've never been to a major games before."

Northern Ireland's Kate O'Connor slips from second to fifth after the long jump.

Fear not though, her medal hopes are far from over with two events left. On paper she has the strongest javelin of anyone in the field (she is also participating in the individual javelin event), so will expect to move back up the standings this evening.

Australia are finding their groove after that early stutter.

Beth Mooney, who is the world's top-ranked batter, and Tahlia McGrath have increased their run-rate to take their side to 58-2 at the halfway point of their innings.

The exuberant Pakistan fans are still enjoying themselves and happy with their team's start.

Here's how things look in the Heptathlon after five events.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson's total is up to 4718 points, 122 points clear of compatriot Jade O'Dowda before the javelin.

Australian Taneille Crase is third on 4525 points, just 15 above Holly Mills, who is followed by Northern Ireland athletes Kate O'Connor and Anna McCauley, and Wales' Lauren Evans.

It is very, very hot at Cannock Chase Forest for the mountain bike race. It's going to be knackering for the riders over testing terrain!

Scotland's Charlie Aldridge is currently sitting in third in the early stages of the men's race, with Cameron Orr of Northern Ireland just behind.

Kiwis Samuel Gaze and Ben Oliver are out in front.

Look at the speed Pattison has got!

He judged that very well.

You can see how energised he is on that finish line.

He's going to be a real threat in the final.

Great run by England's Ben Pattison!

The 20-year-old kicks away from the competition to take the win in one minute 48.00 seconds in heat three of the men's 800m qualifying, ahead of defending champion Wycliffe Kinyama who finishes second.

Pattison joins compatriot Jamie Webb and Scotland's Guy Learmonth in Sunday's final.

It's gold for Cameroon in the men's 109kg weightlifting as Junior Ngadja Nyabeyeu wins it, narrowly ahead of Samoa's Jack Hitila Opeloge in silver.

India's Singh Lovepreet collects the bronze, although he had a nervous wait as Australia's Jackson Roberts-Young would have finished third if he had been successful with his last attempt in the clean and jerk.

However, he wasn't so ended fifth, one place ahead of England's Andy Griffiths in sixth with Jordan Sakkas of Wales coming seventh.

The sun is shining at Edgbaston, making it a perfect British summer's day for a spot of cricket.

Lots of Pakistan fans are there to support their side, who are bottom of Group A after being comprehensively beaten by India in their last match.

And there are plenty of Pakistan green and white flags waving at the moment because Australia are on the rack early doors.

Australia, who have all but won the group, have lost two early wickets with Alyssa Healy and Meg Lanning going for just four runs apiece.

Scotland's Guy Learmonth and England's Jamie Webb spoke to BBC Sport's Jeanette Kwakye after qualifying for the men's 800m semi-final.

On coming second in the heat, Learmonth said: "This year has been so rough for me with Covid and injuries.

"I've missed a lot of training and races but I'm here and I'm in the semi-final.

"It's my third games and I want a place on that podium.

"Medals are all that has been missing from my career."

On going from reserve athlete to heat-winner, Webb said: "I've not had the best of years but you've got to take the opportunity when you get it.

"I've not been terrible this year but I've not been great either.

"I have high expectations of myself and I feel good.

"It's a home games and the crowds are incredible.

"It's not a coincidence that the two home nations got through because it wasn't an easy heat."

Australia’s Olympic and world finalist Peter Bol storms to victory in one minute 47.01 seconds in the second of the men's 800m heats.

England's Freya Colbert looks set to miss out on the final of the women's 400m freestyle as she was only 10th fastest in the heats, with only eight qualifying for the final at 20:48 BST.

Colbert's listed as the second reserve so will need a couple of withdrawals to be in that final.

English duo Tamryn van Selm and Freya Anderson had been scheduled to take part, but neither woman raced.

Reigning champion Ariarne Titmus of Australia was among those to move into the final.

Cannock Chase Forest, north of Birmingham, has been given an upgrade to host the mountain bike cross-country events.

In 2018 the women's race was won by Annie Last in an England one-two, and New Zealand pulled off the same feat in the men's edition.

This time, there's no Last, so Evie Richards, second for England four years ago but now world champion, is installed as the new women's favourite.

The men's cross country event is just about to get under way and you can watch that here.

The heptathlon long jump has come to an end and England's Jade O'Dowda finishes with the best jump after her 6.52m leap.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson's 6.33m places her second and ensures she remains out in front overall.

England's Jamie Webb kicks clear to take the win in the opening men's 800m heat, with Scotland’s Guy Learmonth following him over the line to get the second automatic qualification place.

It's one minute 48.86 seconds for Webb, and 1:49.15 for Learmonth.
