That, boys and girls, was quite something.... the noise in this place.

Josh Kerr is leading as they approach the back straight, but Jake Wightman is chasing him down.

There's a good bit of pushing and shoving going on. Josh Kerr was penned in but he makes his move as the bell rings.

This is such a comfortable pace for Josh Kerr.

Cam Myers will be hoping to spoil Scotland's party at Scotstoun.

At just 20 years old, he's broken through in the Diamond League this season and he edged Jake Wightman in their heat on Wednesday with a time that was almost five seconds faster than Josh Kerr's.

And they're off. Can Scotland's Josh Kerr or Jake Wightman start the party in Scotstoun?

A huge cheer for Scotland's Josh Kerr, the world record holder.

For all the chatter of the two Scots in Josh Kerr and Jake Wightman tonight as well as Australia's defending champion Oliver Hoare and Cameron Myers in the one mile final tonight, don't count out Jake Heyward.

His comeback story is a remarkable one.

No running for 20-months after double Achilles surgery, then he started running again in January, coaching himself as he builds the miles running round Bute Park in his native Cardiff.

He ran 3:46.73, a new Welsh record in the same race Kerr broke the world record in last month.

It is not going to be straightforward for Josh Kerr but he is the out and out favourite and is very confident.

It'll be so exciting to see how it will be run. Josh knows he'll be in trouble unless he makes it really hard from way out because Jake Wightman has the pace over the final 200m and Australia's Cam Myers will also be waiting for his chance.

And let's not forget the former world champion and Olympic silver medallist Timothy Cheruiyot.

Josh Kerr and Jake Wightman left the Scotstoun track on Wednesday morning to the sound of The Proclaimers singing about walking 500 miles. Tonight, the attention will be on 13 men running just one.

The meeting of the two Scots over that mile distance at the Commonwealth Games - just before 21:00 BST - feels like the moment Glasgow 2026 has been building to.

Kerr, the fastest man ever over the distance. And Wightman, who preceded his compatriot as world champion over 1500m four years ago.

Childhood pals from Edinburgh who've been racing in this bit of Glasgow's west end since they were juniors. Bad beatings, grim weather, long car journeys along the M8 with sandwiches for sustenance are in their shared history.

And now they are back at Scotstoun. Different, but the same. Both determined to win gold for Scotland in the historic, reinstated, Blue Riband event of these Games.

But might an Australian disturb that narrative?

Time for the big one. The men's mile!

England's Ben Pattison and Alex Botterill miss out on the medals, finishing fourth and fifth respectively.

The English duo find themselves at the back of the pack as the bell rings to signal the final lap.

Kenya's Wyclife Kinyamal leads the way.

Right. Onto the men's 800m final.

Kenya's Wyclife Kinyamal is the two-time defending champion and was the fastest in the semi-finals.

Ben Pattison, a bronze medallist in 2022, and Alex Botterill go for England in this one.

Georgia Hunter Bell was victorious last night. Can Pattison or Botterill follow in her footsteps this evening?

Let's find out! Off they go...

Jaz Sawyers has got a huge smile stretched across her face.

Just two years ago, her Olympic dream was crushed when an Achilles injury ruled her out of Paris 2024.

Now she's got Commonwealth gold!

Jaz Sawyers has won gold with a world-class jump. She is the England team captain and is leading from the front. She is such a popular member of the team.
