Halfway stage at Edgbaston and New Zealand are ticking along nicely, building themselves a solid platform.

A lot will still rest on captain Sophie Devine, who is currently on 19 from 25 balls. She's been joined out in the middle by Jess Kerr as they look to build a competitive total against an Australia side tha has won everything it is possible to win.

Dive four for Jack Laugher is on the money - it's not as good as dive three. This used to be his favourite dive but he has moved it from the end of his list to the middle of his list.

From the chaser to the chased, how can the new leader Jack Laugher respond with his fourth dive?

It's good. A back 3 1/2 somersaults brings a score 84.60 - will that be enough to hang onto the lead?

Alison Waters and Adrian Waller are given a standing ovation at the University of Birmingham Squash Centre as they clinch a place in the mixed doubles final.

The English pair, who won silver at this year's World Championships, got their tactics spot on in a 2-0 victory against Australia's Donna Lobban and Cameron Piiley, winning both games 11-8.

They are now guaranteed at least a silver medal but will go for gold against New Zealand's Paul Coll and Joelle King in Sunday's final.

Waller will also return later this evening for a men's doubles quarter-final.

There's a change at the top.

Li Shixin can only score 74.80 in his third dive which means Jack Laugher leads the Australian at the halfway stage.

Jordan Houlden is currently in third just 0.05 points ahead of England team-mate Daniel Goodfellow.

Dan Goodfellow saw Jordan Houlden nail this dive - and he decides he wants to be in on the action too. Dan Goodfellow is in the building - and in the mix.

These divers seem to be feeding off each other as they step things up in round three.

A reverse 3 1/2 somersaults from Jordan Houlden brings 85.75, while fellow Englishman Daniel Goodfellow scores 84.

Scotland's James Heatly improves to 75.25, but knows he still has some work to do if he is to get closer to the medal positions.

A big roar came up from the Team England contingent in the stands as Jack Laugher nailed that third dive. A huge score of 86.70 and that is much more like it from him.

That should boost his confidence no end. The crowd went crazy when the score came up on the big screens.

Laugher and the other home nations athletes are also being supported by royalty here tonight. Prince Edward is in the building.

Now that is more like it. Top-notch from Jack Laugher in dive three.

Only time will tell but what he has done there very emphatically is to tell everyone that he is a different diver this evening.

Here we go!

Jack Laugher sends out a message to his rivals with a score of 86.70 in his third dive.

That's the highest score of the final so far and a return to form for the defending champion.

There's a long way to go though!

There's no bronze medal for England's Charlie Bowling in the wrestling.

Wigan-born Bowling, who won the bronze medal in the 65kg category four years ago in Australia, was defeated by Ogbonna John.

The Nigerian wrestler takes bronze by technical superiority, achieving a 10-point lead over Bowling.

Jordan Houlden just a little early from his exit from the dive. He rolls the dive in - just needed to straighten out a bit quicker.

Shixin Li retains the lead after the second round, he scores a 77.5 to move to 154 overall.

The trio of English divers, led by Jack Laugher are in pursuit, with Daniel Goodfellow nudging ahead of Jordan Houlden into third.

New Zealand had been recovering well but Megan Schutt has struck once again from Australia.

She's cleaned up debutant Georgia Plimmer, ending a decent stand between Plimmer and captain Sophie Devine, to keep New Zealand in check.

There is no hanging around in mixed doubles squash as England's Alison Waters and Adrian Waller claim the first game of their semi-final 11-8.

Australian opponents Donna Lobban and Cameron Pilley were crowned world champions in 2019 but were outclassed at times in that opening game.

It's the best of three for a place in Sunday's final.

And there it is, Scotland's Iain McLean has put himself on the podium in the men's singles!

A brilliant display of control and poise against Fairul Izwan Abd Muin of Malaysia sees him run out 21-11 winner to take home the bronze.

Down comes the curtain on lawn bowls and the brilliant Victoria Park at Birmingham 2022.

Another decent enough dive from Jack Laugher. With a 3.5 degree of difficulty, his reverse three-and-a-half somersaults in tuck is the hardest dive of anyone's in this round.

Laugher still dealing with some demons. Sevens are not what we expect from him.

There's another huge roar as Jack Laugher steps up for his second dive. Can he step things up?

75.25 is the score, not bad, but we know Laugher has more in the locker. A third gold of these Games is far from a given so far.

Australia's Li Shixin has set the early pace after the first round with a 76.50 from his first dive.

It's an England 2-3-4 though with Jack Laugher in second ahead of Jordan Houlden and Daniel Goodfellow, who were all in the 7s with their opening dive.
