4:49pm: Mountain Biking
Gaze wins gold! Cooper gets silver! What a race!
4:44pm: Mountain Biking
What a race! Gaze has fixed his bike and is now hot on the heels of fellow Kiwi Cooper.
This is going to be a close finish, a great position for the New Zealanders to be in.
4:42pm: Mountain Biking
Possible bike issue for Gaze sees him drop to third, but Cooper is powering away in first place.
4:38pm: Lawn Bowls

Only one and a half laps to go and the Kiwis still 1st and 2nd! Looking to repeat their heroics in Glasgow four years ago.

4:09pm: Mountain Biking
Onto lap three now and still Kiwis Gaze and Cooper in gold and silver medal position.
Still a possibility of a New Zealand one, two and three finish with Ben Oliver in the chasing pack.
4:03pm: Mountain Biking
Sam Gaze is furious with himself as he drops his water bottle!
The Kiwi will do it tough from here, he is back in first place for now after the South African slowed down to take a drink out of his own bottle.
A bit of gamesmanship from Hatherly there perhaps?
4:00pm: Mountain Biking
A problem for Anton Copper sees him having to push his bike briefly holding up his Kiwi compatriot Ben Oliver.
This means Gaze and Hatherly, the South African, pull away from the field. Still Kiwi riders in 2nd, 3rd and 4th place.
3:56pm: Mountain Biking
It's the Kiwi armada according to the Aussie commentators!
Gaze, Oliver and Cooper all in the hunt for the gold, all three happy to sit just behind the South African in first place.

12:51pm: Mountain Biking
The English duo of Richards and Last are miles ahead of the competition and battling each other for second. South Africa has had to stop on the side of the course to fix a sprig in one of her wheels! This course is brutal!
12:45pm: Lawn Bowls
McIlroy refusing to go down quietly. He's clawing it back and is currently behind 17-13 after End 19.
12:41pm Mountain Biking
Sheppard is well behind the pace - it looks like something is wrong with her bike as she passes through the first checkpoint. There's already been two cyclists fall off their bikes in the challenging course.

12:07pm: Diving
Anton Down-Jenkins and Liam Stone are about to get underway in the men's 3m springboard!

11:55am: Lawn Bowls
McIlroy is still locked in a duel! He's doing well at length but continues to struggle on the shorter deliveries. After End 11, he's leading 9-8.
11:40am: Lawn Bowls
What a rocket! McIlroy looks set to lose three points with England surrounding the jack but McIlroy comes flying in with the last ball and sends the jack flying and he has a ball at the back to claim the point! What a play! NZ lead 8-6 after End Eight.
11:25am: Lawn Bowls
McIlroy pushes his lead to two. A great job nullifying England's bunch near the jack with his last ball limits the damage to one point and helps him keep the lead he's building. NZ lead 6-4 after End Five.
11:15am: Lawn Bowls
McIlroy takes two more points before a very loose third end allows England to strike back for three. Not typical of McIlroy. Just really struggled to find his range on a deep jack there. NZ lead 4-3 after End Three.

10:45: PREVIEW
Shot putter extraordinaire Dame Valerie Adams will tackle her fifth Commonwealth Games in the unfamiliar position of an outsider when she lines up in qualifying at Carrara Stadium today.
A double Olympic champion, Adams is taking something of leap into the unknown as she hunts her fourth Commonwealth Games gold just six months after the birth of daughter Kimoana.
She has a season best of 18.48m, and just two competitions under her belt this year, and will need to go well over that to challenge Trinidad and Tobago's Cleopatra Borrel or Canadian Brittany Crew.
Among those also in action at Carrara Stadium are middle distance runners Angie Petty in the women's 800m heats, and Brad Mathas in the men's 800m final.
Elsewhere, Anton Cooper and Sam Gaze will look to reprise their dramatic Glasgow 2014 gold-silver mountain biking cross-country finish, this time over a 4.5km course in the Nerang State Forest.
New Zealand has a shot at bronze in the men's beach volleyball , where brothers Sam and Ben O'Dea will do battle with Englishmen Chris Gregory and Jake Sheaf at Coolangatta Beach.
The Black Sticks must beat world No.2 England to earn a spot in the women's hockey gold-medal match, with the memory of a penalty shootout semi-final loss from Glasgow keeping motivation levels high.
Kiwis will also take part in doubles squash , shooting , badminton and diving events, as well as making their wrestling Games bow and continuing their hunt for lawn bowls medals.
