Key events
Athletics: The women’s heptathlon is up and running with the 100m hurdles. It is looking a little wet on the track not that Sienna MacDonald is concerned, who gets the quickest time to earn an early lead.
Australia are loving life in Scotland, dominating at the top of the medal table.
Weightlifting: England’s Chris Russ comes out too late for his lift and does not have time to complete it. How bizarre.
A little run through from yesterday’s activities …
Part-time sprinter given time to shine.
More bronze for Adam Ramsay-Peaty.
All the best photos.
Scotland win bowls tie-break to take gold
Bowls: There was a tie-break required in the Para Mixed Pairs B2-B3 bowls final after drawing 9-9. It was dramatic stuff but Scotland took the honours thanks to an aggressive final ball from Robert Barr of the host nation, leaving England to accept silver.
Preamble
Welcome to today’s coverage of the Commonwealth Games, which will offer up the usual smorgasbord of events. From the track to the bowling green, there is something for everyone in Glasgow at the moment.
Medals will be handed out in the athletics, swimming, bowls and weightlifting today as everyone goes in search of gold.
Amid the criticism of high-profile athletes shunning this competition, it is a relief to know that one man turned down Love Island to partake.
