It's more of the same so far in game two, as Liam Pitchford and Sharath Kamal Achanta continue to match each other point for point.

Pitchford punches the air after some ridiculous defensive play helps him level at 5-5.

India's Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy got on a run of five straight points in that opening game and it proved to be a bridge too far for the English pair.

Ben Lane and Sean Vendy had got off to a good start but errors started creeping in towards the end of the game and they lost out 21-15.

A huge roar from Liam Pitchford!

The crowd absolutely love it. He explodes into a forehand to come back from game point down to take the first game 13-11.

Oh this is close all right. India's Sharath Kamal Achanta can't take his first game point.

On we go.

What a shot from Liam Pitchford! He angles a wide forehand out of reach and Sharath Kamal Achanta can't get close to it.

A shake of the fist from Pitchford, who restores parity.

It's so tight over in the men's doubles badminton gold medal match. Ben Lane and Sean Vendy trail the Indian pair by a very narrow one-point margin.

The shuttle moves so quickly in the doubles games it's incredible that they can react and return it at such speed.

Some powerful forehands from Sharath Kamal Achanta help him nudge ahead to 5-4 in the opening game but Liam Pitchford once again responds.

Both players are right up for this and there's no separating them so far.

Incredible goal from Australia!

Nifty passes in the D bamboozle India's goalkeeper and Nathan Ephraums taps in for a 2-0 lead.

It's all very green and gold as the first quarter comes to an end.

It's time for England's Liam Pitchford to begin his bid for gold.

Pitchford, the 2014 bronze medal winner, is his nation's first Commonwealth Games men’s singles finalist.

Standing in his way of Commonwealth Games glory is India's Sharath Kamal Achanta.

There's a great atmosphere for this one!

It's silver for Sarah-Jane Perry and Alison Waters of England after they lose out to New Zealand pair Joelle King and Amanda Landers-Murphy in straight games.

The Kiwi pair defend the title they won in 2018, and it's a second gold of the games for Joelle King, adding to her mixed doubles win yesterday.

Australia have a string of penalty corners and manage to make one count.

Blake Govers gets underneath the goalkeeper to take the lead in the gold-medal match.

A reminder that Australia have won every single Commonwealth hockey title there's been in the history of the Games.

So yeah, the early lead is not totally surprising.

Earlier, England's men earned a third successive Commonwealth hockey bronze medal as they came out on top in a nine-goal thriller against South Africa.

Here's the best from that match.

It's not looking good for England's Sarah-Jane Perry and Alison Waters who are now a game down and 9-4 behind in the second in their squash final.

Joelle King and Amanda Landers-Murphy of New Zealand are closing in on a gold with this doubles match a best-of-three-games affair.

Right, we go straight from table tennis and badminton to squash.

England's Sarah-Jane Perry and Alison Waters are taking on Joelle King and Amanda Landers-Murphy of New Zealand in the women's doubles match.

The New Zealand pair are a game up in the final after winning the opener 11-8.

Next up in the badminton, England's Sean Vendy and Ben Lane are targeting gold in the men's doubles against India's Chirag Shetty and Satwiksairaj Rankireddy.

It's been a dominant morning already for India in the badminton but the English duo knocked out the top seeds in the semi-final, so they should be coming into this pretty confident.

They are ranked 19th in the world where Shetty and Rankireddy are eighth and won silver at the Tokyo Olympics, after losing to English pair Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge in the final.

Here's what you can follow over the next couple of hours before the action comes to an end at the 2022 Commonwealth Games:

• England's Ben Lane and Sean Vendy will contest the badminton men's doubles gold-medal match;
• Compatriot Liam Pitchford goes for gold in the table tennis men's singles final;
• An all-English squash men's doubles final at 13:00 sees James Willstrop and Declan James face Adrian Waller and Daryl Selby.

What a match. Sathiyan Gnanasekaran went 3-0 up, then completely dropped his form, seeing the match slip to 3-3.

But he dug deep and manages to get over the line in the decider to win bronze for India.

Paul Drinkhall's search for a singles Commonwealth Games medal continues.

The top-spin serve does the trick.

9-9. Who will get match point? The crowd roar.

An Australia goal already at the hockey?

The ball is over the line, but the umpire says the goal is disallowed and Australia decide not to use their referral to double check.

What a start that would have been.
