Eilish McColgan prefers to be out in front but she's got plenty of fellow runners snapping at her heels.

Northern Ireland's Jude Gallagher is giggling like he's just been tickled. He can't believe he's up on the podium to collect a Commonwealth Games gold.

It's true Jude!

After the medal ceremony, the lights go back down and the atmosphere builds up for the next gold medal bout...

A huge moment in this final as Ashleigh Gardner takes two wickets in two balls to drag the imitative back into Australia's hands.

Pooja Vastrakar is caught in the deep by Beth Mooney for one, before a smart catch by wicketkeeper Alyssa Healy removes the dangerous Harmanpreet Kaur for 65.

India 121-5 and need 41 from 24 balls.

Surely Eilish McColgan can't do it again, can she? I spoke to her the morning after her 10,000m win and she barely knew what day it was, such was the toll it had taken on her.

Even yesterday, she was still grappling with the events of the past few days, having been tipped the wink that she would be Scotland's flagbearer for the closing ceremony. Does she have any emotional reserves left?

And here comes Eilish McColgan, jostling to the front of the pack.

Away they go.

World silver medalist Beatrice Chebet is out in front in these early stages.

It has been 20 years since a Kenyan woman failed to win the race - back when Paula Radcliffe won gold for England in Manchester.

However, Scotland's Eilish McColgan has a great chance to end that streak. She's bidding to do the 5,000-10,000 double after her emotional gold in the longer distance earlier this week.

No Scottish woman has won a medal in the distance, with their best performance being Steph Twell's fourth place finish in 2010.

McColgan is the British record holder in the 5,000m and won European silver back in 2018.

England's Desharne Bent-Ashmeil has moved into the bronze medal position after the third of five dives, leapfrogging Mia Vallee of Canada.

England team-mate Yasmin Harper is in fifth place.

England's Jazmine Sawyers has yet to better her opening jump, with a third leap of 6.54m taking her to fourth place.

Abigail Irozuru is in 12th after two jumps, while Lorraine Ugen has fouled both her attempts. Nigera's Ese Brume, a silver medallist at the recent world champs, is leading the pack.

Welterweight Michaela Walsh's win a few moments ago means Northern Ireland are guaranteed to top the boxing medal table at Birmingham 2022.

The nation has won FIVE titles, plus one silver and one bronze, putting them two golds ahead of India and Scotland.

Laura Muir joined Jeanette Kwakye after her win:

"I just thought my strength is in my kick. I tried to trust it and hoped no-one caught me. I was tying up at the end and I ran as hard as I could for the line."

On her previous Commonwealth Games experiences:

"You learn from it and your time will come. It sounds cheesy but it's true. Eight years of Commonwealths and it's been bugging me so this means a lot."

Still has the European championships to come - how does she do it?

"Doing the 800m/1500m double - nothing easy about that. Two down one to go, I can't thank everyone enough. Everyone has been amazing I couldn't have asked for a better support crew."

On the cricket, this is an absolute belter of a grab...

Breakthrough!

Just as India were building what felt like unstoppable momentum Australia have removed Jemimah Rodrigues, clean bowled by Megan Schutt for 33.

Her partnership with Harmanpreet Kaur was worth 96 runs.

India need 44 runs from 33 balls.

Pattison is an emerging talent but I think he will look back at that race and kick himself. He gave the two ahead too much ground. You can't do that and expect to run them down.

Ben Pattison has a bigger smile on his face now as he's handed a flag and poses for some selfies.

Well, that was over pretty quickly in the end.

The New Zealand pair got off to a flying start and Alison Waters and Adrian Waller just didn't have a response for them. They lost 11-3 11-6 and will take yet another silver medal.

The New Zealanders watching in the crowd perform the haka for their winners, lovely celebrations for the gold-medallists.

Harmanpreet Kaur is in the zone. She has clubbed another massive six off Alana King, who goes for 14 runs off her third over.

India are 112-2 after 14 overs, just two runs behind where Australia were at the same stage.

They need 50 more runs from 36 balls.

Ben Pattison is not happy with the way his race went, but he's secured himself a bronze!

He was so quick down the home straight but he just got himself in the wrong place during that first lap. Still, 1:48.25 and a Commonwealth bronze is not to be sniffed at.

Australia's Peter Bol takes the silver.
