It's a busy day in the boxing ring at the NEC Hall Four with a host of quarter-finals with a victory today guaranteeing a fighter a bronze medal.

Twenty-year-old identical Welsh twins Ioan and Garan Croft are among those in action later on - Ioan at 14:00 BST at welterweight before Garan fights at light-middleweight 45 minutes later.

They are not the only siblings involved today as brother and sister pairing Aidan and Michaela Walsh are going in the light-middleweight and featherweight categories respectively for Northern Ireland.

Elsewhere, Lennon Mulligan (flyweight), Matthew McHale (bantamweight) and Tyler Jolly (welterweight) fight for Scotland; Dylan Eagleson (bantamweight) goes for Northern Ireland with Gemma Richardson (lightweight), Mohammed Akbar (light middleweight) and Lewis Williams (heavyweight) representing England and Jade Burden for the Isle of Man.

The first athletics action under way this morning is the women's hammer qualifying.

Welsh champion Amber Simpson and England's Anna Purchase are both involved, with the top 12 advancing to Saturday's final.

Canada's Camryn Rogers, world silver medallist last month, is among the competition, along with compatriot Jillian Weir, who was fifth at the Worlds.

Meanwhile, on the track, England's Harry Kendall is in 100m action as the men's decathlon gets under way.

Time to head back to Alexander Stadium.

A huge third quarter from Australia to extend a five-goal lead over Jamaica.

It was coming from the Diamonds and they won that crucial third period 16-11. Jamaica's Jhaniele Fowler might be a threat in one shooting end but Gretel Bueta is on fire at the other end - she has scored 32 of her 35 attempts under the post.

Jamaica are still in touching distance, though - don't write them off just yet.

Cycling's women's time trial starts just after 10:00 BST with the racers setting off at one-minute intervals over a 29km distance, starting and finishing in Wolverhampton's West Park with the route taking the riders past Dudley Castle.

There were 36 people scheduled to take part, but there have been four withdrawals, including South Africa's Ashleigh Moolman Pasio, a top-10 performer at the Tokyo Olympics last year.

She had been due to go out last but is ruled out with the illness that forced her out of the final stages of last week's Tour de France Femmes.

However, there's still a strong field including Australia's Grace Brown, who came fourth in this race at last year's Tokyo Olympics, while Cyprus' Antri Christoforou, Scotland's Neah Evans and Lizzie Holden from the Isle of Man all finished inside the top 10 of this race at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia.

England are represented by Abi Smith, Anna Henderson and Joss Lowden; Wales have Anna Morris, Elynor Backstedt and Leah Dixon; Scotland also have Anna Shackley; Joanna Patterson rides for Northern Ireland; Olivia Lett and Elaine Pratts go for Gibraltar; while Jessica Carridge and Rebecca Storrie also ride for the Isle of Man.

Introducing road cycling, diving, rhythmic gymnastics, and para powerlifting!

Yes, there are plenty of fresh sports joining the Birmingham 2022 party today. Here are a few things to look out for on day seven:

• Road cycling: The time trial course sends the women across 29km and the men through 37km of the Black Country and Staffordshire. Wales' Geraint Thomas, fresh from the Tour de France, is back eight years after picking up time trial bronze and road race gold at Glasgow 2014, while in the women's race Scottish Olympian Anna Shackley will take on the likes of Australia's Grace Brown.
• Diving: Jack Laugher won 1m springboard diving gold for England in 2018 and has since added world silver in the same event, while Scotland are represented by European and Commonwealth bronze medallist James Heatly. English teenager Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix, seventh at Tokyo 2020, is a contender in the women's 10m platform event.
• Athletics: Five gold medals will be won in track and field tonight, including the men's 110m hurdles, where England's entrants include Andrew Pozzi and Josh Zeller. Jamaica's Hansle Parchment starts as one of the favourites after winning Olympic gold last year.

First up today, we'll head back to Alexander Stadium for qualifying in the Women’s 200m, the men's 200m, the men's 1500m, the women's hammer, the women's high jump, and the start of the men's decathlon.

The athletics gets back under way from 10:00 BST.

Before then, the lawn bowls is already up and running, Australia face Jamaica in a big game in netball, South Africa are taking on New Zealand in hockey, and there's table tennis action not too far away as well.

Well...This one is getting tasty.

Top seeds Australia managed to draw out a four-goal lead midway through that quarter and it looked like they were going to run away with it as they started to dominate the ball and assert some authority on the game.

But Jamaica are right back in this game and there's just one goal in it. Jamaica are actually shooting at 93.5% compared with Australia's 90.9% - with powerhouse Jhaniele Fowler under the post if the Sunshine Girls can get the ball to her there's only one place it's going.

Here's a quick recap of the rest of Wednesday's best bits:

BBC One

The action is already under way over on BBC One, where you can currently follow the lawn bowls.

As always, you can watch that by clicking the icon at the top of this page.

Meanwhile, the 100m titles were claimed by Jamaica's five-time Olympic champion Elaine Thompson-Herah, and Kenya's Ferdinand Omanyala - who only converted to sprinting from rugby in his late teens.

Wales' three-time Paralympic champion Aled Sion Davies claimed F42-44/61-64 discus gold, having switched to the event after successive Paralympic shot put golds in 2016 and 2021.

Davies' best effort of 51.39m was short of the F42 discus world record of 56.21m he set in July. Team-mate Harrison Walsh took bronze behind Sri Lanka's Palitha Halgahawela Gedara.

There was gold too for England's Katarina Johnson-Thompson, who marked her return to the top of an international podium after three years of injury and coaching changes.

She finished on 6,377 points, 144 clear of Northern Ireland's Kate O'Connor.

"It has been tough couple of years so hopefully this can kickstart another part of my career," Johnson-Thompson said.

"It has been hard, I had moments where I didn't know if I wanted to carry on but to come out here and get the gold and prove to myself that pushing through was worth it."

Eilish McColgan has her first major title after a stunning 10,000m victory which saw her follow in the footsteps of her mother Liz, who won the same title at Edinburgh 1986 and Auckland 1990.

McColgan found herself locked together with Kenya's Irine Cheptai but McColgan surged clear late on.

"This is the most incredible moment of my career," McColgan said.

"I couldn't hear myself think or breathe, in that last 100m the crowd carried me.

Here's how she did it on the loudest night yet at Birmingham's Alexander Stadium.

Australia and Jamaica have both won four out of four at Birmingham 2022 so far to sit neck-and-neck at the top of Group A.

They meet this morning and there's very little to separate them so far. In fact, Australia have just drawn level again at 11-11 in the first quarter.

You can watch that over here.
