    Men’s welterweight semi-finals

    With his work for the night already done, Wales' Ioan Croft can relax backstage at the NEC and watch the other semi-final with interest.

    It's another tight contest as India's Rohit Tokas and Zambia's Stephen Zimba unleash punches right through the bell.

    "Toss a coin," says BBC commentator Richie Woodhall. Even he can't call it.

    What do the judges think? It's Stephen Zimba on a split decision! He collapses to the ring, lying on his front and seemingly sobs into the canvas!

    Zimba dances out of the ring, high fives a row of kids ringside and disappears out of the arena.

    He will back tomorrow to go for gold.

    Well who'd have predicted this score at the end of the first quarter?

    England are a goal up against Australia in the men's hockey semi-final after Phil Roper's effort.

    Maddie Hinch has long been a hero for the women's team given her epic shootout showing to win Olympic gold in 2016, but it looks like England's Ollie Payne wants a bit of that action too.

    He's been diving all over the place to keep six-time champions Australia out.

  3. Scotland the Bravepublished at 20:34 British Summer Time 6 August 2022

    Don't want to lower the tone, but lets talk numbers...

    Scotland have now won 41 medals at Birmingham 2022 - eight gold, nine silver, and 24 bronze - and another three will be confirmed on Sunday after the boxing finals.

    That will leave them level with the total reaped from Gold Coast four years ago, which was their highest return ever apart from Glasgow 2014.

    Given this is a much younger, less experienced team - and the hush-hush expectation was somewhere between 30 and 40 medals - that's some effort.

    Incredible goal!

    England's Phil Roper swings his stick and it's straight through the goalkeeper's legs into the bottom-left corner.

    We're still in the first quarter, but the hosts are ahead against Australia - who incredibly have never not won the Commonwealth title.

    England, meanwhile, are bidding to reach their first Commonwealth final.

    What more can you say about Jacob Kiplimo. One Commonwealth title has opened the floodgates. He dominated that race, he didn't even touch the front until that final straight but then it was decisive.

    He must have been tired but he recovered well and he waited and waited, took everything they threw at him and he was still able to respond.

    England's Marc Scott finished fourth in that brutal race.

    What a run by Jacob Kiplimo though. He's handed a phone by gentleman in the standsand he willingly leans in for a selfie before running off to celebrate with his adoring fans. Lovely stuff.

    Jacob Kiplimo does the double!

    He backs up his 10,000m gold medal with a simply remarkable victory in the 5,000m, securing victory in a season's best 13:08.08.

    Kenya's Nicholas Kipkorir Kimeli and Jacob Krop take silver and bronze respectively.

    What a save from England goalkeeper Ollie Payne!

    Australia whack the ball in off a penalty corner but the England keeper looks like he'd be at home in the gymnastics arena as he slides out his left leg to keep it at 0-0 in the men's hockey semi-final.

    Scotland's Rory Stewart and Greg Lobban powered through to the squash men's doubles semi-finals with a 2-0 victory over Australia's Zac Alexander and Ryan Cuskelly.

    The world silver medallists asserted their dominance early on, winning the opening game 11-2.

    But they were made to fight hard in the second before clinching it 11-9, producing some fabulous squash to get over the line.

    They will face the winners of tonight's final quarter-final between England's Adrian Waller and Darryl Selby and Canada's Nick Sachvie and David Baillargeon.

    The 5,000m is absolutely gruelling, isn't it? The determination to run it is something else...

    It's Kenya's Jacob Krop who is the head of the pack after the halfway stage.

    Men’s welterweight semi-finals

    Wales' Ioan Croft lands a couple of left hooks late on - could that be enough to nick it?

    Tyler Jolly, who was cut in the final round by an accidental clash of heads, celebrates like he's won when the final bell goes.

    Tense...

    A split decision... the faces of both lads are contorted with emotion as they wait to hear which name will be called.

    "In the... red corner!" The victorious Croft leaps into the air as the beaten Jolly drops to his haunches.

    The contrasting reactions sum up how close and competitive this one was.

    It's a deserved gold for Australia's Melissa Wu and Charli Petrov, who led from start to finish.

    But, check this, it's TWO more medals for England as Andrea Spendolini-Siriex and Eden Cheng come up trumps in their final dive with a score of 76.80 to take silver.

    That is 17-year-old Spendolini-Siriex's second medal of these Games. Dad Fred Sirieix, of TV's First Dates fame, looks pleased as punch in the crowd.

    Robyn Birch and Emily Martin also make it onto the podium, meaning England have collected five medals in the diving pool this evening.

    'To get a result here means everything' - Goodfellowpublished at 20:16 British Summer Time 6 August 2022

    Men's 3m springboard final

    BBC Sport

    Gold medallist Dan Goodfellow, speaking to BBC Sport: "It's a great feeling. I've had a bit of a rough year so to get a result here means everything. It feels nice to be able to do that dive under pressure as well as my last dive, because there has been plenty of times where I've dropped it. Just over the moon really."

    On getting it for the individual event:

    "It feels great. I'm really enjoying my diving at the minute and it feels nice to do it on my own. I'm really enjoying training by myself and doing the events by myself. All us boys are based up in Yorkshire so we couldn't ask anything better of a one-two-three of Yorkshire lads."

    Jordan Houlden on backing up a bronze with a silver on his Commonwealth games debut:

    "I'm really lost for words now. Two Commonwealth medals, it's a real big achievement for me. Coming out here, being my first Commonwealth Games, I feel like I've stepped up to the pressure and really given my all."

    On competing with two Olympic medallists:

    "Standing between two Olympic medallists - it's quite the team. It's sensational. Big dreams and hopefully I can get to the Olympics and be with these two guys."

    It’s time for England to face Australia in the men’s hockey semi-final.

    England’s women secured their place in the final yesterday, but it will be a tough task for the men to follow suit.

    Australia have won every single Commonwealth hockey title there has been to win - six in total.

    England, on the other hand, have never made it to a final.

    Big performance needed from the crowd here. Oh, and the players of course.
