Latest PostGoodbye!
Look at that smile!
The sort of face we pull when we realise it's £1 tacos on a Tuesday.
And the sort of face an athlete pulls when they have won Commonwealth Games gold... again!
The image of a golden grin for English diver Jack Laugher feels like the perfect way for us to finish.
See you again tomorrow!
Tune into Tonight at the Games... NOW!
What's happening on day eight?
Day eight of the Commonwealth Games brings with it 17 gold medals up for grab in a variety of sports.
Jack Laugher, fresh from his 1m springboard gold on Thursday, is back in action, this time it's the 3m synchro with partner Anthony Harding.
How the medal table looks
All of that means Australia are spending almost as much time at the top of the charts as Kylie Minogue and Natalie Imbruglia combined.
Tonight, the medal table looks like this...
Day seven video highlights
Gold medals, cycling crashes and belly flops. What a day at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
Before you go to bed tonight, have a watch of the day seven highlights below.
Day seven headlines
What we've lacked in quantity of precious metals, we have made up for in quality.
Here are the headlines from a fun day seven at Birmingham 2022.
Post update
Phew, that's almost a wrap for day seven at Birmingham 2022.
Day seven! Doesn't time fly when you're having fun.
But before we disappear, here's a recap of what's happened today...
'The crowd have taken England to a famous victory'
New Zealand v England
Jenny Woods
Netball commentator
Everything is connecting for England at the moment. All seven players are doing their job and doing their jobs so well.
You won't hear the buzzer, you won't hear the whistle but you will hear the noise from this crowd, who have taken England to a famous victory.

England stay on court to thank their fans as House of Pain's Jump Around plays.
The crowd follow orners and Jo Harten dances her way across the court back to her team-mates.
England win

BBC Sport at the NEC Arena
That's that.
What a performance from England. What a performance from the crowd!
It's a dominant final quarter from the defending champions to win pool B and set up a huge semi-final against 2018 runners-up Australia on Saturday.

New Zealand 43-53 England

BBC Sport at the NEC Arena
England have won this now. But they don't want to just win.
They look like they want to score every single goal they can before the group game ends.
England take control
New Zealand 42-51 England
Becky Grey
BBC Sport at the NEC Arena
England coach Jess Thirlby looks cool as a cucumber courtside.
Oh wiat, no she doesn't. Laura Malcolm makes an EXCELLENT interception in mid-court and a long ball reaches Eleanor Cardwell for what is surely the score of the match.
That gets Thirlby out of her seat and thumping her fists in the air.
Energy in the NEC is high with a couple of minutes left.
Post update
'A great championships for Pozzi'
110m hurdles
Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill
London 2012 Olympic heptathlon champion on BBC TV
It was great to see Andy Pozzi come here and perform in front of a home crowd, and for his girlfriend Katarina Johnson-Thompson winning a gold medal as well. It has just been a great championships for him.
'You can see what that medal means to Okoye'
Men's discus
Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill
London 2012 Olympic heptathlon champion on BBC TV
You can see how much that silver medal meant to Lawrence Okoye. It has been 10 years of back and forth [going from athletics to American football and back] not knowing where his sport lies. Tp win that medal is fantastic for him.
NEC reaches peak volume
New Zealand 39-45 England
Becky Grey
BBC Sport at the NEC Arena
If this is what the NEC Arena sounds like for a group game, I can't imagine what it's going to be like for a semi-final.
The crowd chant England as loud as they can and stamp their feet to celebrate every goal. It sounds like a jumbo jet is passing overhead.
England are six goals up with six minutes left.

New Zealand 38-43 England

BBC Sport at the NEC Arena
Eleanor Cardwell comes back on at goal shooter for England and the crowd absolutely loves it.
The hosts are still up by five with just under eight minutes remaining. It's going to be a tight finish.
Bronze medal - England
Rhythmic gymnastics team final
All over in the second stage of the team final - and England can finally celebrate!
Bronze for the hosts!!
It's been a long and agonising wait for Marfa Ekimova, Alice Leaper and Saffron Severn - all teenagers - after they competed earlier and had to watch the rest go tonight.
And we'll tell you what has been an even longer and more agonising wait... England winning a medal in this event.
It's their first since 2010! And one which was probably not expected by many going into the Games.
Canada win gold and Australia take silver.

New Zealand 36-39 England

It's not an ideal start to the final quarter for England at the netball.
Their six-point lead is down to three points with 12 minutes remaining.
Gold medal - India - Sudhir Sudhir
Powerlifting: Men's powerlifting final
Insert the old, so good they named him twice line.
A little bit of an anti-climax to the men's heavyweight final, however, as both Sudhir (217kg) and silver medallist Ikechukwu Obichukwu (203kg) of Nigeria are unsuccessful with their final lifts.
Sudhir becomes Commonwealth champion with a points tally of 134.5, Obichukwu was only slightly behind on 133.6 and Scotland's Micky Yule takes home a bronze medal with a haul of 130.9 points.
