The parents of Madeleine McCann cheered with pride as their son Sean finished eighth in the final of the men’s 400m freestyle on his Commonwealth Games debut for Scotland.

The 21-year-old, who studies at Loughborough University, was given a huge roar when he was announced to the crowd. But he was unable to match the pace set by Australia’s Sam Short, the 2023 world champion, who took gold in 3 mins 41.25 as he finished 12 seconds back.

Team England have provided an update on the gymnast Gabriel Langton who suffered a terrible fall yesterday.

“Gabriel was transferred to the hospital as a precautionary measure overnight and underwent multiple scans today, with very positive results,” a statement read. “Thankfully, he has been cleared of any serious injury complications and will be discharged to return to the team hotel this evening.

“He is in good spirits and hugely grateful for the many messages of support and the excellent care provided by the medical teams. He is looking forward to being reunited with the team to celebrate his silver medal.

“He will be discharged to the team hotel under the care of the Team England medical team this evening.”

Gymnastics: Australia are looking impressive in the women’s team event. They are looking like the team to beat at the moment.

Breanna Scott has just laid downer a market with his balance beam to put her top of the individual scores.

Swimming: Sam Short wins the men’s 400m freestyle at a canter. Benjamin Goedemans takes silver and Elijah Whittington bronze as Australia take all the spots on the podium.

Boxing: Farcical scenes after Anthony Joseph misses his call time for his bout with Tryagain Morning Ndevelo. The Namibian was waiting in the ring for his opponent, who did wander out belatedly but it was too late and Ndevelo won by default.

Swimming: Adam Ramsay-Peaty will be well supported in Glasgow.

Swimming: Adam Ramsey-Peaty is being praised and is expected to win tonight’s butterfly final. Will he get a world record, too?

Gymnastics: Wales lead the way in the women’s team event with a score of 153.400. They are the team nation to catch.

Gymnastics: The Wales team have impressed on the vault. Abigail and Emily Roper battled it out for top spot in the individual standings, with the latter taking the lead with 13.300.

Thanks Billy. Let’s hope for an evening of jovial sport.

That’s all from me. You can settle in for the evening with Will Unwin.

Still to come is the conclusion of the women’s team gymnastics final and there are plenty of medals up for grabs in the pool, with Adam Ramsay-Peaty looking to win his fifth Commonwealth gold at 9.04pm (BST) in the 100m breaststroke final.

The end-to-end Pool B netball match between Uganda and Wales finished 59-50 to the She-Cranes, by the way.

Two years ago Tiana Sumanasekera was a United States Olympic alternate, training at the famed World Champions Centre in Houston alongside Simone Biles and Jordan Chiles. Now she is representing Sri Lanka – the country of her parents’ birth – with the aim of making the finals at Los Angeles 2028.

But these Commonwealth Games arrived at the wrong time. A shoulder injury sustained just weeks before the Games forced her to abandon plans to compete in the all-around event. Instead, she entered women’s qualification on just one apparatus – balance beam – hoping to make a final despite limited preparation.

Gymnastics: Ruby Evans does her stuff on the floor – the discipline in which she won world silver last year – with an eye-catching routine for Wales. Her score of 12.900 puts her top of the individual qualification standings – and she got a penalty for stepping out of the area.

3x3 Basketball: Katie Januszewska puts England 6-4 in front but a couple of free throws from Ella Doherty brings Scotland level again. England’s Georgia Gayle tries her luck from deep but it clangs back off the rim. Shanice Beckford-Norton and a lay-up from Gayle gives England a bit of breathing space at 8-6 with two minutes to go.

3x3 Basketball: It’s an intense start with lots of blocks and missed shots. Scotland finally get some momentum through Hannah Robb and Claire Paxton, who uses the backboard well. England trail 4-3 with six minutes to go.

3x3 Basketball: It’s a good ol’ grudge match in the women’s competition now as Scotland take on England in Pool B.

Netball: Uganda have had a very good third quarter against Wales in Pool B, turning a three-point deficit at halfway to a six-point lead at the buzzer. Shadiah Nassanga (20 goals) and Mary Cholhok (16 goals) have done their job well in attack for the She-Cranes, who finished fifth at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

Gymnastics: Abigail Roper follows up Ruby Evans’ opening 12.550 on the beam with a score of 11.650 for Wales. Roper was disappointed with her 11.100 on the uneven bars – her twin sister Emily posted an impressive 13.600 on that apparatus. Emily can’t stick the landing on the dismount from the beam and has to settle for a score of 11.100.

Wheelchair 3x3 basketball: Hosts Scotland are off to the perfect start with an opening 16-1 win over Nigeria in the women’s Pool B. The 17-year-old Lea Smith impressed with six points, only bettered by the seven of her experienced teammate Robyn Love. The crowd certainly enjoyed it.

“What a noise that was,” says Love on TNT Sports. “For me to have this experience, 40 minutes from my home town of Ayr – absolutely incredible. It was electric.”

Netball: It’s an absolute cracker in the Pool B match between Wales and Uganda, who have been trading goals for the first two quarters. It’s Wales who have the momentum after a flurry from goal shooter Georgia Rowe and goal attack Phillipa Yaranton – they lead 31-28 at the halfway point. That’s the biggest points gap of the game so far.

Gymnastics: Jemima Taylor, 17, posts the second best score of the day on the uneven bars of 13.300. She is followed by her Wales teammate, the talismanic Ruby Evans, who finishes with a well executed double front. Wales’ hopes of the medal may rest on the shoulders of the silver medallist for GB at world and European level.

Gymnastics: Scotland, Wales, India and Singapore are out on the apparatus in the third subdivision of the women’s team final. Malta lead the standings after the first two subdivisions, followed by Namibia, Malaysia and New Zealand. Australia, Canada, South Africa and England come later.

India’s Protistha Samanta posts the best score of the day (13.025) in her first go at the vault and gives herself a shot at qualifying for the individual final in the process.

Thanks Will. Well, I’m not sure I’m quite tall enough to be able to compete in this 3x3 basketball. But, mentally, yes, I’d be happy to give it a go.

England’s quartet of Ashley Hamilton, Jamell Anderson, Evan Walshe and Dwanye Lautier-Ogunyele have followed up their opening win over Jamaica with a 21-13 victory against Fiji. Hamilton set up England’s first 3x3 basketball club – London 3x3 – with his wife, Alice. The 37-year-old has also set up a foundation in Sierra Leone, where his family is from, to sponsor a local football team and provide scholarships for players.

There is a worrying moment for England as Anderson comes off holding his chest having possibly tweaked a muscle. He returns to help his side close out the win.

Billy Munday is primed - mentally and physically – to take you through the next couple of hours of action.

England are on court against Fiji in the men’s 3x3 basketball.

The Commonwealth Games has suffered yet another blow after Eilish McColgan, Scotland’s star athlete at these championships, became the latest big name to pull out.

McColgan, the reigning 10,000m champion, was due to defend her title on Monday but on Saturday revealed she had not fully recovered from a toe injury sustained at the London Marathon.

Get your fill of today’s best pictures from Glasgow.

England’s Francesca Williams “Some jitters at the start but good to get them out of the way.

“It [the win] gives us huge confidence but we know tomorrow [against Australia] is going to be a huge step up for us.”

Singapore v Jamaica in the men’s 3x3 basketball was a modern classic, with plenty of back and forth, resulting in Jamaica winning 22-20.

Wales look a cut above the Botswanans in the women’s pairs bowls, with the Welsh producing a perfect first end in the first set, earning five points.

England are in complete control after three quarters of the netball, leading 60-26 against Northern Ireland.

Singapore have started promisingly against Jamaica in the men’s 3x3 basketball, taking a 5-2 lead.

Singapore secure their first win in the women’s 3x3 basketball thanks to a straightforward 21-8 triumph over Papa New Guinea.

At the end of the second quarter England remain dominant, leading Northern Ireland 41-18.

Singapore v Papua New Guinea kick off the action in the women’s 3x3 basketball soon enough. There is plenty to be seen on the court today.

England are cruising against Northern Ireland, leading 24-7 at the end of the first quarter. A shock is certainly not on the cards.

I like to think I am revered across the Heatons. England are in action against Northern Ireland in the netball.

With that, I pass over to the estimable Will Unwin, pride of Heaton Mersey, or is it Norris? Or Chapel? Maybe Moor. I forget.

Looking ahead to the athletics, where Eilish McColgan hopes to defend her Commonwealth Games 10,000m title on Monday if she has sufficiently recovered from a broken bone in her foot. Her mother, one of the all-time greats of the distance, has been speaking to the BBC.

“Eilish wants to be in Glasgow. She wants to compete. She’s the reigning champion and she’s given herself every opportunity to be on that start line.

“I’d be lying if I said we’re 100% definitely going to race because she still has a couple of sessions that we need to run to make sure that everything’s okay, like getting spikes on. We’re trying our hardest to put everything in place for her to be able to achieve what she wants to do.

“I know if Eilish is standing on that start line, she will give it 100%. It’d be great for her to be - like I was - a double gold medal winner, but we’re just making sure everything’s all right for her.”

From the 3x3 basketball court: England beat Jamaica 22-16.

Nicholas Devlin brought some more Scottish cheer with his unanimous points boxing win over Finbar O’Sullivan of Australia in the 60kg category. Devlin is a local lad, from 10 minutes down the road.

He said: “I couldn’t even describe the feeling. To have all my fans cheering me on and having my family in the stands. The noise was amazing and I was glad I could get the win for them. Long may it continue.”

And speaking to the BBC, he said: ““I’ve used up my holidays this year so I’ve had to take time off unpaid. But they’ve been a great support to me, letting me work round my training and stuff, so I can’t thank them enough.

“I’d pick this any day of the week, though... The nerves were worse this morning but once I got started I went emotionless and a bit numb almost, and got on with it. All my family and friends have paid their hard-earned money to come and watch me and I want to make them proud and get a medal.”

Devlin’s day job is to work in Aldi.

Some words from Sean McCann after he reached the final: “I’m delighted. It wasn’t really an expectation coming into the Championships, especially with how strong the field was, so to have made it is fantastic.

“I wouldn’t say I felt pressure, but I was definitely nervous. There were so many people watching and I wanted to perform well, not just for myself but for Team Scotland as well. I’m glad I was able to produce a decent performance.”

Kate McCann’s t-shirt, by the way, reads ‘Yes Sir, I can Boogie’, the games’ official anthem and Scotland’s unofficial national anthem.

News from the pool: Scotland’s Sean McCann, younger brother of Madeleine McCann, finished fourth in an eight-man heat three of the men’s 400 metres freestyle, and that was enough for tonight’s final. His parents, Kate and Gerry, were watching on this morning.

Australia play England in the netball on Sunday in Pool A, having thrashed Tonga 99-38. They fell just short of the century.

Their captain, Liz Watson: “The girls were yelling a the bench to try at hit that 100 – but it was an unreal way to start. The depth of this team is awesome so really, really happy with that start. It’s going to get really busy from now on ... It’s going to take a lot of rest and recovery now because it’s going to fly by.”

England play Northern Ireland later today.

Fiji’s new national hero, Rajnesh Prasad, has been speaking: “You just have to breathe in, breathe out, and deliver. I’m taking it one game at a time. It’s a long, long tournament.”

Rajnesh Prasad, the surprise package of the bowls, marches on beating Jason Banks of Scotland in a tie-break. Prasad is top of the men’s bowls table with three straight wins.

NB: Le Clos has already added to his total, taking bronze in the men’s 4x100-metre freestyle relay on Friday to take his medal count to 19 for South Africa, a record for a male athlete.

Like Cameron McEvoy, Chad Le Clos is safely through to the semi-finals but only after finishing second in his heat, as Ben Armbruster of Australia wins heat 4 of the men’s 100m Butterfly in 51.74. Both take their place in tonight’s semis.

Across the 2010, 2014, 2018 and 2022 Commonwealth Games, Le Clos has won a total of 18 medals, including seven gold medals, four silver medals, and seven bronze medals. Surely more to come in Glasgow.

Australia looking awesome against Tonga, admittedly first-time participants, and leading 51-15 at half-time.

Further news and coverage of Friday’s action.

The Australian netball team is in play, taking on Tonga, and leading 23-12 after the first quarter, the holders have been quick to hit form.

The Australian Cameron McEvoy, the reigning Olympic champion at 50m, finishes second in his heat, though second overall in terms of time, behind his heat-winner, Joshua Liendo. The top 16 go through to the semis.

At the pool now, and into the 50m freestyle heats for the men.

The bowls is underway, too, with Scotland’s Jason Banks, in natty shorts, taking on Fiji’s Rajnesh Prasad, who beat the Englishman, Sam Tolchard, on Thursday. Prasad is playing well here, too, having won the first set 6-2.

Final score: Scotland 44-74 New Zealand. The Kiwi team looked very strong though the Scots put in a decent display. Plenty of appreciation from the crowd at the Hydro.

In the netball, New Zealand are headed for victory over Scotland. In the fourth quarter, it’s 63-40, with time running out.

Sean Ingle has been enjoying his time so far in Glasgow.

But do you know what? Despite these initial teething problems, and a fair number of empty seats, it didn’t matter. These Games might be “reimagined” – which is management speak for “made smaller”. But, as the first full day of action showed, they retain plenty of soul and glow.

The soul? That was provided by the Botswanan lawn bowler Diza Mphotho, who delighted the crowd at the indoor SEC arena with his bucket hat and languid style, even if he ended up being on the reverse of a 10-3, 16-1 thrashing by Guernsey’s Jason Greenslade.

More action from Tollcross to follow but here’s the news from the pool.

To make Scott’s victory even sweeter, he also broke the Commonwealth record. No wonder he lifted his arms up in the air and started to pound his chest like a silverback after leaving the pool. “I was a wee bit nervous before that,” he said. “Being one of the senior members of the team, the onus is kind of me. Those boys made it tough.”

The big news on Friday in Glasgow was this incident.

After initially lying motionless, Langton responded to medical staff, moving his legs and later his hands. A dozen medical personnel carefully stabilised the England gymnast before lifting him on to a stretcher about 11 minutes after the fall. He was applauded by the crowd as he was taken from the competition floor.
