    Australia 46-40 Jamaica

    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: Women's time trial

    Australia's Grace Brown is one of the favourites to win the women's individual time trial

    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.

  7. Cycling, diving, athletics - what to look out for on day sevenpublished at 09:52 British Summer Time 4 August 2022

    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.
  8. Follow all the actionpublished at 09:47 British Summer Time 4 August 2022

    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.

    You can find the relevant streams for all those sports on the right of this page if you're on desktop, or on the 'related stories' tab if you're following on mobile.

    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.

    "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."

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