Kenya's Wyclife Kinyamal pulls away, followed by Australia's Peter Bol, but Pattinson is speeding through for bronze...

Oh, Ben Pattinson and Guy Learmonth have run themselves into a bit of a box as the bell goes...

When a point goes to the squash equivalent of VAR some very dramatic music plays - X Factor elimination style. Alison Waters and Adrian Waller were saved by the VAR on this occasion and managed to get a run going but we're at match ball already for the New Zealand pair after just 30 minutes of play.

They have had too much fire power for the English duo.

It wasn't only a celebratory hug which Michaela Walsh wanted from her brother Aidan... she was also after a bottle of fizzy pop.

After all the hard work and calorie-counting, Walsh celebrates winning gold with a sugary treat.

Might be a splash of rum to go with the cola tonight...

A clean start, and away they go.

England's Ben Pattison cups his ear, asking the crowd to give him a little more noise as the names are read out.

With that dive of 74.40, Nur Sabri - less than halfway into this competition - is going to give the other competitors the heebie jeebies.

But England's Yasmin Harper is giving it everything here.

After two rounds, England's Yasmin Harper and Desharne Bent-Ashmeil are fourth and fifth while Scotland's Grace Reid is in eighth.

Still three rounds to go yet so plenty of time to get into a medal position.

Onto the next one...

There will be no Max Burgin in the final - the Englishman, who is the fastest man in the world this year over the distance, withdrew after developing a deep vein thrombosis.

There will be home nation representation in the form of England's Ben Pattinson and Jamie Webb

Scotland's Guy Learmonth, who finished sixth in the 2014 Games, is also in action.

Defending champion Wycliffe Kinyamal of Kenya finished eighth in the world championships a few weeks ago, but won over the distance in the Doha and Paris Diamond League races last year.

Lord knows Michaela Walsh has been through the ringer on her journey to Commonwealth gold.

Lost in 2014, and again in 2018. A champion now, and a worthy one at that. That's an emphatic win.

Also while I'm here, Ciara Mageean has just won a silver in the 1500m?!

Northern Ireland were in dreamland after Wednesday, this is simply ridiculous now.

18 medals, for a nation of 1.8 million. Sensational.

Laura Muir has come jogging over to chat to Jeanette.

How she still has the energy to run I do not know.

Nigeria's Elizabeth Oshoba still thinks she can win this.

Ooof! Lovely shot catches Michaela Walsh, giving her reminder this gold isn't in the bag just yet.

Oshoba will need a knockout though after Walsh won the first couple of rounds and after that taking blow, she resets to see out the bout.

It will be gold for Walsh, but we're waiting for official confirmation...

Harmanpreet Kaur is leading the charge for India.

The India skipper reaches her half-century off just 34 deliveries, which included a monster six off the bowling of Jess Jonassen.

India need 68 from 47 balls.

In the squash Alison Waters and Adrian Waller have lost the opening game to New Zealand's Joelle King and Paul Coll 11-3. A bit of a landslide victory in the opening game from the 2017 World Champions.

The Kiwis, who won bronze four years ago in Australia but have been unable to play together much this year after King sustained an injury, were clinical and efficient in that first game.

Laura Muir will leave Birmingham with 1500m gold and 800m bronze, to go with the world 1500m bronze she won in Oregon a few years ago.

And we've still got the European Championships to come...

NEVER. IN. DOUBT.

She might have had to dig and scrap for bronze in the 800m, but that was an accomplished a run as you could hope to see from Laura Muir.

That's 12 golds now for Scotland. The same as Melbourne in 2006. Only at Glasgow 2014 has that mark been breached. And there might be more to come before the night is out.

Steve Cram
Athletics commentator on BBC TV

That was hard - Laura never makes it easy for herself, she had to dig deep because she went so hard, so early.

That race from last night I'm sure started to bite in the last 60 metres as she started to look tired for the first time.

She is starting to get a collection - and gold medals are beautiful.

And a season's best time for Ciara Mageean clinches the silver!

There's hugs all around as Laura Muir congratulates her. What a run that was from Mageean, particularly at the end as Australia's Abbey Caldwell advanced.

Caldwell takes the bronze, with Jemma Reekie fifth.
