Trouble with a capital T for New Zealand...

Lisa Sthalekar
Ex-Australia all-rounder on BBC TV

I feel like New Zealand are really trying to put pressure on England and are still playing their attacking game. Suzie Bates timed it well but hit it at a catchable height straight at Nat Sciver. New Zealand are in trouble now.

We know Wales' Jake Dodds will fight in the semi-finals. But who will face him?

Either England's Kiaran MacDonald or Botswana's Rajab Otukila Mahommed.

They're next on the NEC canvas.

Competitive opening round with MacDonald looking assured as he scopes out his opponent's range.

All five judges find the opening round in the Englishman's favour.

Ross Beattie gets slightly less than Danny Mabbott - you could see his hands as he missed the grab slightly.

So after the first round of diving it's England's Jordan Houlden at the top of the table with 81.60, thanks to that high degree of difficulty on his opening dive, followed by Australia's Shixin Li in second then Jack Laugher in third.

We go again.

She's done it again!

Katherine Brunt, bowling fast and straight, bursts through Amelia Kerr's defences and clean bowls the number three.

She's pumped up for this.

A big, big dive from England's Jordan Houlden to send him flying to the top of the leaderboard in these early stages. The crowd loved that one.

Just about saving that dive - I was almost going to start my celebrations - Jack [Laugher] just a little bit keen and opening his chest up as he goes in. He would want to be a bit further up than that.

Standing count for Clepson Dos Santos Paiva in the final round.

His legs look like mine at 3am after a few hours in the pub. Heavy and wobbling.

Another standing count! One more and the Northern Irishman is gone.

Wales' Jake Dodd has a bronze glint in his eye - or is it silver or gold? - and continues to pound his 18-year-old opponent, who takes a third standing count.

All over!

Dodd is overcome with emotion as celebrates with his team on the ropes.

Here he is.

Bit of splash from Jack Laugher and it's perhaps not as high a score as the world silver-medallist would hope from his first dive.

69.000 for Laugher puts him second, with a long way to go.

Katherine Brunt, veteran of England's team, makes a spectacular start, ripping the leg stump of New Zealand captain Sophie Devine out of the ground.

Huge roar from the crowd.

Brunt has a habit of making an impact in the first over - remember this from England's opening over of their opening game of the tournament?

Dodd, who only took up boxing seriously six years ago, is a qualified plumbing and gas engineer.

Winning a Commonwealth medal must have been a pipe dream back them. Ahem.

Anyway, the Welshman plugs the gaps from the first round and manages to cause more problems for his opponent.

Paiva does clobber Dodd with a big right hook though.

Tight one on the cards. Dodd edges it.

Down to the last round then...

Following his countryman Danny Mabbott - beautiful board timing from Ross Beattie as the difficulty starts to rack up now.

The main threat to Jack Laugher winning a third successive Commonwealth title is Australia's Shixin Li, who qualified top in the preliminaries. He'll be up last.

Plenty of home nations interest in this final as alongside Laugher is compatriot Jordan Houlden plus three Scotsmen - Danny Mabbott, Ross Beattie and James Heatly.

Away we go.

Ding ding! The bell has gone to signify the start of tonight's boxing.

First up is Wales's Jake Dodd versus Northern Ireland's Clepson Dos Santos Paiva in the men's flyweight quarter-finals.

Victory in the three-round bout guarantees at least a bronze medal, remember.

Dos Santos, an 18-year-old who must be of Brazilian descent with that name, edges the first round.

An absolutely humongous roar bounces around the aquatics centre as Jack Laugher is announced to the crowd.

He's the one they're excited to watch here.

We have the first diving finals of Birmingham 2022 this evening, and the men's 1m springboard final is first up.

The star name in this one is England's Jack Laugher. He's the two-time defending champion in this event and won world silver earlier this summer.

He will start eighth, having placed fourth in the preliminaries earlier on today. Jordan Houlden is also competing for England, while James Heatly, Ross Beattie and Danny Mabbott compete for Scotland.
