Spectators at the boxing have all been given light-up wristbands as event organisers seek a visual spectacle that matches the noise being generated inside hall four.

If gimmicks aren't your thing you might not be impressed, but I'm all for it.

Here comes Scotland's Reese Lynch who, unsurprisingly, is hugely popular among the crowd.

There is also a noisy corner of Mauritian support for Louis Richarno Colin. The decibels are about to go up as we get underway in the light-welterweight final.

Northern Ireland's Matthew Teggart is joined by England's Sam Watson, South Africa's Daryl Impey and New Zealand's Aaron Gate and they have a little bit of daylight now...

Three penalty corners in succession amount to nothing but this is good pressure England are putting on Australia in these early stages.

As for the chanting in the crowd, anything England can do, Australia are trying to do just as well. "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie..."

This time Australia clear after Aleisha Power saves with her left pad from Balsdon.

England are well on top, can they get something? Two minutes of the first quarter to go.

Reese Lynch is the last Scot to fight for gold at the NEC.

The 21-year-old from Fauldhouse is up against Louis Richarno Colin of Mauritius.

Can he emulate Sam Hickey and Sean Lazzerini in claiming gold?

Blazing sunshine, booming music and beach volleyball... Birmingham feels like the Copacabana.

English twins Javier and Joaquin Bello are cruising in the first set of their bronze-medal match against Rwanda.

The Bello boys are 15-7 ahead as they look to earn England's first Commonwealth Games medal in the sport.

Grace Balsdon's flick is saved but straight on to an Australia foot. We go again.

The first penalty corner of the final is won by England as an Ellie Rayer counter ends with an Australia foot.

Australia review it, but it's upheld.

Australia lose their review. Huge chance.

Geraint Thomas successfully brings it all back together at the front with 35km to go.

Now Northern Ireland's Matthew Teggart gives it a go.

India's Sharath Kamal and Sathiyan Gnanasekaran have hit back in the men's doubles table tennis final, taking the fourth game 11-7 to force a decider - just like they did in the final four years ago.

England's Paul Drinkhall and Liam Pitchford came out on top that time, will they do so again?

England have got to use their numbers, otherwise there is no point in having them. It is their responsibility to make something happen. It is a work in progress. Just keep going with the attacks until the gaps start to get a bit bigger.

It doesn't look like Geraint Thomas has immediately managed to go with Ben Turner and this new front group of seven riders.

He's chasing it down now, though.

England's semi-final with New Zealand started at an insane pace. This final however has been almost pedestrian it's been that tactical.

We have a proper midfield battle on our hands. One for the purists. Five minutes of the first quarter remain.

Australia have won every hockey gold at the Commonwealth Games from 2006 until 2018 when they were shocked in the final by New Zealand.

Basically, for those new to the game, Australia are very good. England are having to be incredibly organised in defence. They can't give their opponents an inch.

Seven minutes of the first quarter remain.

England's Ben Turner is the next to go on the attack and immediately thins out the lead group.

Who can stick with this surge?

A fan in the crowd, with an England flag tied around their neck Superman-style, has taken it upon themselves to get the chants going. They are stood up, conducting the choir.

"We are, we are, England" is the first, to the tune of We Will Rock You.

Three minutes played. England are improving, getting on the ball in key areas.

They drive into the d through Lily Owsley but the forward can't win anything with Australia easily gaining possession back and clearing away.

England's Paul Drinkhall and Liam Pitchford are a game away from retaining their men's doubles table tennis title.

They dominated the third game, taking it 11-3, to move 2-1 ahead with three games to play against India's Sharanth Kamal and Sathiyan Gnanasekaran.

Geraint Thomas shuts in down. Efficient. 15 riders come back together at the front of the men's road race.

Just over 40km remain.
