Wales' Amy Williams continued her impressive women's bowls singles campaign with a 2-0 victory over Caroline Whitehead.

She has not lost a set in any of her four group games so far but her place in the semi-finals is not yet assured.

Williams faces Emma Saroji, also unbeaten, in a winner-takes-all match for a chance to contend for a medal.

Meanwhile, Welsh hopes of defending the men's pairs title have disappeared after losing 2-0 to Malaysia.

Double gold medalist Daniel Salmon and Ross Owen have lost two of their four matches with just one left to play and now cannot catch pool leaders Malaysia for the semi-final place.

Charlotte Henrich gave her mother a birthday to remember by qualifying for the 400m final in her first Games.

Henrich finished second in her heat in a time of 52.13 seconds behind Nigeria's Ella Onojuvwevwo to qualify eighth fastest for Saturday afternoon's final.

Earlier there was delight for Ava Lloyd, who is also on Games debut, when she qualified for the final of the women's mile with a personal best time of four minutes 31.21 seconds.

But there was disappointment in the same event for athletics co-captain Melissa Courtney-Bryant, who finished seventh in her heat, a spot outside the qualification places.

The 32-year-old was touch and go to make the start line in the first place after injury-hit preparations.

Meanwhile, 800m runner Justin Davies missed out on a final despite recording a season’s best 1:45.51 in his semi-final, finishing fifth.

Wales will contest the 9th/10th playoff after a 74-28 loss to Jamaica in their final pool match.

This was their fourth defeat of the Commonwealth Games with just a solitary win against Trinidad and Tobago.

It was a competitive opening quarter from the Welsh Feathers who trailed by just two goals at the first break.

But Jamaica showed why they are the 2022 silver medallists as a clinical second quarter from the Sunshine Girls saw them pull away.

Wales tried to compensate by making several changes, with captain Bethan Dyke even dropping to the bench. But the onslaught from Jamaica continued and they extended their lead to 36-18 at half time.

Despite some positive moments for Wales in the third and fourth quarters, Jamaica proved too strong, converting attacks ruthlessly to seal victory and a place in the semi-finals.

It's been a disappointing competition for Wales who will finish at least one place lower than four years ago, after finishing eighth in Birmingham in 2022.

They will need to dust themselves off quickly ahead of tomorrow morning's classification match with Tonga at 11:00 BST.

Weightlifter James Wales missed out on a podium spot, finishing fourth in the men's 110+kg event.

The serving Royal Navy commissioned officer managed 145kg with his second attempt in the snatch, before failing to lift 150kg.

Roared on by the crowd in the arena after failing with his first two attempts, Wales successfully lifted a Welsh record 191kg in the clean and jerk to avoid a 'did not finish'.

This left him with a total of 336kg, 20kg short of England's Andrew Griffiths who went on to win a bronze medal.

New Zealand's David Liti's score of 389kg was just enough to claim gold, with Singh Lovepreet just one kilo behind in silver.

This was the final event of the weightlifting programme at these Games.

Team Wales finish with one medal in the sport, thanks to Laura Hughes' bronze in the women's 77kg.

Wales have won Commonwealth Games gold in the women's team sprint at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome by beating England in the final.

The Welsh trio of Emma Finucane, Rhian Edmunds and Lowri Thomas defeated Katy Marchant, Sophia Capewell and Rhianna Parris-Smith in a new Commonwealth Games record time of 46.760s.

Wales had set the fastest time in qualifying to set up the gold medal race and delivered the ultimate upgrade on the bronze medal the same trio won in Birmingham in 2022.

It was the 18th medal for Team Wales with three gold, six silver and nine bronze.

This was the third medal for Wales on the opening night of track cycling after silver for Para-cyclist James Ball and his guide Matt Rotherham and bronze for the women's team pursuit.

Unfortunately the men's trio of Lewis Oliva, Steffan Lloyd and Ioan Hepburn could not compete in the team sprint event bronze medal race.

Hepburn made the start line but pulled out after having medical advice.

Trinidad and Tobago were awarded the bronze medal.

Welsh cyclist Ciara Oliva celebrated coming out of retirement as part of the team pursuit bronze-medal winning squad in Glasgow.

Oliva, 36, rode with Megan Barker, Jessica Roberts, Anna Morris at her third Games and finished on the podium by beating England in the race for third place.

Wales had qualified third fastest in a time in the morning session and then defeated England's Josie Knight, Grace Lister, Madelaine Leach and Abigail Miller in the afternoon programme. That success came just minutes after Wales Para-cyclist James Ball claimed a silver.

Oliva had initially finished competitive cycling after the 2018 Gold Coast games following a career where she won World and European Championship medals and was the unused Team GB rider at the 2016 Olympics in the squad that won gold.

After having her three children with her cycling husband Lewis, both riders decided to return to the track for the Games in Glasgow.

"It means everything, the whole comeback was worthwhile and means so much to me and to my family," said Ciara.

"To be riding alongside these girls is the biggest honour, they're absolutely awesome, it's just amazing."

Lewis Oliva will compete in the men's bronze medal sprint race, alongside Steffan Lloyd and Ioan Hepburn, later this evening.

The men's team pursuit quartet of Rhys Britton, Rory Gravelle, William Roberts and William Salter just failed to reach the podium after losing the bronze medal race against New Zealand.

Wales now have 17 medals with two gold, six silver and nine bronze.
