Big news from the England cricket camp...

Captain Heather Knight has been ruled out of the Commonwealth Games and The Hundred because of a hip injury.

Knight missed her side's opening two matches in Birmingham after suffering the injury in an IT20 match against South Africa.

It was hoped she would recover to play in the Games, but it has failed to settle down as expected and Knight will continue to receive treatment.

Nat Sciver will remain England’s captain in the Commonwealth Games and a replacement player cannot be called up.

The bar at the weightlifting is currently at 85kg. Imagine lifting that above your head.

England's Emily Campbell doesn't even mess with this weight. Her first attempt in the snatch is expected to be 115 - ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN - kg.

We could see in one of the previous laps that Richards was asking for a time check and maybe she is taking the pressure off in certain areas of the circuit.

Three laps to go!

The home support bang on the boards as Evie Richards swings round the corner and into view.

The world champion still holds a 42-second lead over Scotland's Isla Short and South African Candice Lill - but Australia's Zoe Cuthbert has been distanced in the race for the silver medal.

England's Kerry Davis has missed out on a medal as she lost in her middleweight quarter-final against Rady Adosinda Gramane of Mozambique.

Davis, 25, from Cheltenham, took the opening round on four of the five judges' cards, but Gramane, a bronze medallist at this year's World Championship, finished strongly to get a unanimous decision victory.

Three of the five judges scored the fight 29-28 in Gramane's favour, with the other two scoring it 30-27 and 29-26.

From what we've seen it is always the Rocky Road section that poses the greatest danger than the drop off from Deer's Leap.

Evie Richards' advantage has increased slightly to around 42 seconds to the chasing trio of Isla Short, Candice Lill and Zoe Cuthbert.

Can they start to reduce that deficit?

Richards is looking cool and comfortable as she once again navigates the latest technical section without difficulty, but there are no concerns for those behind her either...

This isn't all about Emily Campbell though.

Nine other athletes have their eyes on the bling, including Samoa's Feagaiga Stowers and Australia's Charisma Amoe-Tarrant.

Those two won gold and silver, respectively, in the 90kg event on the Gold Coast

So far, we've seen Malta's Elisia Scicluna, Fiji's Helen Anastasia Seipua and Sri Lanka's Thimali Wiyannalage ease through their opening snatch lifts.

We've also heard 50 Cent in da Commonwealth club.

England's Emily Campbell is among the favourites to win Commonwealth Games gold after an incredible couple of years.

At the beginning of 2021 barely anyone had heard of her.

Now they have.

That's because she has two European golds, a world championship bronze and became the first British woman to win an Olympic medal in weightlifting when she won silver in Tokyo.

Quite the CV.

Evie is clearly feeling good - she looks so good on the bike, as befits the world champion.

Her team have released her to be able to compete in the Commonwealth Games, but she does have the world champion stripes on her bike.

World champion Evie Richards is motoring round the Cannock Chase Forest course!

A back problem had hampered her preparations for this race but she is displaying her class regardless. Four laps to go.

It's a battle for silver behind her, as Scotland's Isla Short and South Africa's Candice Lill complete lap number three together, with Australia's Zoe Cuthbert fighting hard to stay in touch.

They're 40 seconds behind Richards now. The English rider just needs to avoid any accidents.

England's Emily Campbell looks pumped to give the NEC crowd the weightlifting gold they're hoping for.

The athletes are introduced on stage and she steps out with her arms open wide to her adoring fans.

Her hair is excellent - arranged in two buns on top of her head, one white and one red.

Uganda continue to lead Northern Ireland by 28-11 at the half-way stage.

It was a second quarter of end-to-end action, with Northern Ireland struggling to cope with Uganda's clean transitions through court.

Evie Richards has extended her lead. All the riders are using the straight to get sustenance and to get fuelled up ahead of the next lap.

The main race will be for silver and bronze and they may choose to consolidate their positions here instead of challenging for gold.

Evie Richards has a healthy gap, with her advantage over Isla Short now at 34 seconds after two laps.

The Scottish rider is joined by South Africa's Candice Lill and Australian Zoe Cuthbert in pursuit.

Another technical section is safely dealt with by Richards, who is being cheered on by the home support.

There's even someone holding up a sign asking to marry her! Hopefully it won't distract her...

Yesss, Icelandic clap going on at the weightlifting now.

The countdown to the start of Emily Campbell's final begins...

It's a busy afternoon in boxing and Carly McNaul of Northern Ireland is guaranteed at least a bronze after beating Keshani Hansika of Sri Lanka 5-0 in her women's light-flyweight quarter-final.

Scotland's Reese Lynch also has a medal in the bag thanks to his win over Jonas Junias Jonas of Namibia in the men's light-welterweight category.

Still to come we have England's Kerry Davis (pictured) in women's middleweight quarter-final action, England's Lewis Richardson fights Billy le Poullain of Guernsey in the men's event, with Scotland's Sam Hickey also in action in the same division.

There could be more glory for Scotland too as Sean Lazzerini is one fight from a medal in the men's light-heavyweight category.

Still looks to be Evie Richards's race to lose.

But as we know, just one wrong bump and it could be curtains.

England's Richards, the reigning world champion, has a gap of 15 seconds on the chase group.

It's all very fun at the weightlifting.

The announcer says this is "the party arena of the NEC". Fans have been given wristbands that light up and they've been encouraged to hold them up every time there is a good lift.

Now they're being taken through a bit of 'stamp, stamp, clap' practice. All feels a bit holiday camp in the best way.

Northern Ireland are looking for their first win of the Games against Uganda this afternoon.

Despite opening the scoreline in the opening minutes, Northern Ireland were unable to keep the momentum going and the African side mounted their comeback.

Uganda lead 11-5 going into the second quarter.
