    Arms outstreched and a huge smile on the face of Eilish McColgan as she crosses the line!

    Beatrice Chebet makes her move! Out in front!

    And now Eilish McColgan, teeth gritted, pushes once again!

    It'll be silver for Scotland I think as Chebet comes charging through!

    To me, Chebet is just hovering and waiting. She must be feeling good, because that is when you run beside somebody. What happens now. Has Eilish got anything left?

    The crowd volume goes up a notch, sensing Eilish McColgan needs that boost with Beatrice Chebet styill right on her shoulder.

    Oh, and now Selhah Busienei has moved up and into the front! There goes the bell, McColgan third as it stands.

    End of round twopublished at 19:59 British Summer Time 7 August 2022

    Men's welterweight gold medal match

    Similar pattern to the first round, really.

    Wales' Ioan Croft is landing when he does choose to punch, while his Zambian opponent Stephen Zimba is going for quantity over quality.

    Should be Croft's round again, split if not unanimous.

    The Welshman takes it 4-1 on the cards of the five judges.

    I mean, it just looks exhausting, doesn't it? The stamina to do this and the 10,000m, my word...

    Eilish McColgan and Beatrice Chebet are almost side-by-side now.

    This is well under 15 minute pace and McColgan is not letting up at all.

    At the front these are going to be your three medallists - it all depends on whether Eilish can win the gold.

    Which way will the medals go? Chebet is making her move...

    It is starting to fall apart for India now. Sneh Rana has been run out for eight.

    They need 23 from 15 balls.

    Scotland teammate Sarah Inglis has kept the pace with Eilish McColgan and is currently fourth. Kenya's Selah Busienei is fading now, but Beatrice Chebet still looks as fresh as a daisy with 1650m left to go...

  12. boxing

    End of round onepublished at 19:55 British Summer Time 7 August 2022

    Men’s welterweight gold medal match

    Lots of aggression from Stephen Zimba in the first round.

    Ioan Croft, eyes wide and focused, needs to have his wits about him.

    A lovely left hand from Croft shows his accuracy, before Zimba responds with a body shot.

    Patient start from Croft and his efficient punches give him a clean sweep of the first round.

    "Let him come," is the advice from Croft's corner.

    It's good but not good enough. Just a tad short for England's Desharne Bent-Ashmeil to put pressure on the leaders.

    Australia's Maddison Keeney puts in the best dive of the competition to go stomping into the lead.

    A wonderful dive from Australia's Maddison Keeney brings a score of 75.95 and pushes her into the lead with one dive to go.

    Malaysia's Nur Dhabitah Binti Sabri is second with Canada's Mia Valle third.

    England's Desharne Bent-Ashmeil is seven points outside the medal positions in fourth and will need to produce something special in the final round.

    McColgan's tactics are clear here, she is just looking to wind things up.

    She is making it hard already on the chasing group and I am sure it will end up with just a couple of people in it.

    That's the cue for Wales' Ioan Croft and Zambia's Stephen Zimba to dart into the middle of the ring and start their men's welterweight final.

    A Welsh village with a population of 800 people can count two Commonwealth Games medallists among it.

    And they're twins.

    Garan Croft claimed bronze after losing in the men's light-middleweight semi-finals yesterday, but today his brother Ioan goes for gold in the welterweight.

    Zambia's Stephen Zimba stands between him and Commonwealth Games glory.

    "Garan and I don't really come from a big boxing community, but we've shown that if we can do it anyone can,” said Ioan after his semi-final win.

    "I'm now really looking forward to tomorrow's final and the chance to bring that gold medal home to Crymych."

    Eilish McColgan prefers to get out in front and not have people clipping at her heels.

    She might argue that her illness and niggles have been harder to recover than from that race but I also know that she has struggled to sleep because of what it meant to her.
