It's getting down to the latter stages of the squash competition at the University of Birmingham.

First up tonight is a semi-final in the mixed doubles between English pair Alison Waters and Adrian Waller against Australia's Donna Lobban and Cameron Pilley.

The Lobban family might well have split loyalties later when Donna's Scottish husband, Greg, takes to the court alongside Rory Stewart against Australian pair Zak Alexander and Ryan Cuskelly in the men's doubles quarter-finals.

Watch all the action here.

An ideal start for Australia!

Megan Schutt finds the inside edge of Suzie Bates' bat in the first over of the match and the opener is out for a golden duck.

And then Schutt gets Jess Plummer lbw to the very next ball! The New Zealander, wisely, reviews and the technology shows the ball is missing the stumps, meaning she earns a reprieve.

What a start for Australia though! A reminder that you can watch it over here.

Jumping Jack is jumping through the roof. A little bit of an error and he over-rotated but he has got himself going.

Jack Laugher will be relieved to get that first dive out of the way, and with a good score too to open up his campaign.

After the preliminary this morning, he said he was going to go back and have a sleep to reset - let's hope he's been able to do that.

He's certainly got the crowd's backing.

Frazer Taverner of New Zealand is first up with 63.

Jack Laugher is next. He scored zero with his first dive in qualifying - can he avoid the same mistake here...he can!

Laugher let's out a huge sigh of relief as he completes his first dive with a score 74.80.

Solid start from the defending champion.

Warm-ups complete, it's time for the diving to begin.

Will Jack Laugher bring his A-game to this final?

England's Jack Laugher is chasing his third gold of these Games when he lines up in the men’s springboard final shortly – but he only just made the final 12.

The defending champion blamed nerves when he scored zero in the first round of qualifying earlier today after performing the wrong dive.

Fortunately the 27-year-old, who has already retained his 1m springboard and synchronised 3m springboard titles in Birmingham, scored enough points in his remaining five dives to qualify in 11th position.

Laugher will be joined by England team-mates Dan Goodfellow and Jordan Houlden in the final, as well as Scotland's Ross Beattie and James Heatly.

Australian Li Shixin is tipped to be Laugher’s biggest challenger for gold. The 34-year-old won two world 1m titles representing China and was runner-up to Laugher in that event in Birmingham.

Ato Plodzicki-Faoagali's victory means the Samoan will face England's Lewis Williams in tomorrow's final.

And that's the afternoon session at the NEC done and dusted.

Williams was one of five English boxers to reach a gold-medal bout today, along with four fighters from Northern Ireland, four Welsh and three Scots also assured of at least silver.

The boxing will back at 19:00 BST

Here's a recap of what's happened so far on day nine at Birmingham 2022:

• England's hopes of a second successive Commonwealth Games netball title have been ended as Australia won 51-60 to set up a final meeting with Jamaica;
• England's Nick Miller successfully defended his men's hammer title;
• Scotland's world champion Jake Wightman had to settle for bronze as Australia's Oliver Hoare charged through in the final few metres to claim a sensational 1500m gold;
• England duo Amy Pharaoh and Sophie Tolchard claimed silver after losing a thrilling final to Australia in the lawn bowls women's pairs;
• Gemma Frizelle won an historic gold in the rhythmic gymnastics hoop final for Wales;
• Louise Christie claimed Scotland's 36th medal by earning silver in the women's ribbon final;
• English diver Jack Laugher scraped through to the 3m springboard final;
• England lost out to India in the semi-final of the cricket after a dramatic finish saw the hosts lose by four runs

Samoa's Ato Plodzicki-Faoagali lost the first round but fights back strongly.

Has he done enough in the final round? Surely.

We hear the words 'unanimous decision' and that suggests it is only going one way.

Plodzicki-Faoagali's name is read out and he will contest a final at the second successive Commonwealth Games,

He enjoys a warm embrace with Niui's Duken Tutakitoa-Williams as both men kneel on the canvas.

Australia, bidding for a 'grand slam' of tournament victories, have won the toss and will bowl first in their semi-final against New Zealand.

They are unchanged, while batter Georgia Plimmer will make her debut for the White Ferns when play begins in 20 minutes time.

Coverage has just resumed of the action from Birmingham over on BBC One.

You can also take your pick from 11 streams to decide what you want to watch with your evening brew.

Niui's Duken Tutakitoa-Williams versus Samoa's Ato Plodzicki-Faoagali is not a text commentator's dream, we will assure you.

Thank goodness for CTRL+C and CTRL+V.

Tutakitoa-Williams is already assured of winning a first ever Commonwealth Games medal for the tiny island in the South Pacific Ocean.

But will it remain bronze? Or be upgraded to silver or gold?

A bit of a one-sided final but sometimes that happens and there is nothing you can do about it.

No-one got near Wilson in this event, he absolutely steam-rolled everyone. And there he goes - the shirt is off.

Nothing Gary Kelly could do about it on the day - he was just blitzed but he does take away a silver medal.

Wilson (Aus) 21-3 Kelly (NI)

Leamington Spa's Lewis Williams will contest the final of the heavyweight division. He has a lot of fans in the house who will raise the roof here at the NEC. Lewis allows himself a little smile. A job well done and it's handshakes and hugs all round. His fans are absolutely delighted and well they should be.

The bell goes and the St George's flags being waved at the NEC tell us the final round went as Williams hoped.

The Englishman used his jab well to ward off the increasing pressure from Coumi.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a unanimous decision..."

We know the rest. Lewis Williams breaks into a grin as his arm is raised.

He will meet Niui's Duken Tutakitoa-Williams or Samoa's Ato Plodzicki-Faoagali in tomorrow's gold-medal bout.

"Be smart, be sensible. You're three minutes from the final."

That's the advice from Lewis Williams' corner to the Englishman after another good round.

Williams, who stands at 6ft 6in, is the favourite to win gold and is again showing why.

Australia's Coumi has got to come out and land some big shots now...

On a gloriously sunny day in Royal Leamington Spa it's a case of when it rains, it pours for Gary Kelly at the moment.

He attempts to dislodge the jack with his final bowl but succeeds only in moving his bowls further away and, amazingly, bringing two of Wilson's closer to give the Aussie a two-shot end.

There is a response from the Northern Irishman in end 13 as Kelly stops the bleeding to take two shots but it's still a huge advantage for Wilson, who leads 18-3.
