    Away this time and it's not gone to plan for Jade O'Dowda.

    The England athlete finishes seventh in 24.93, over half a second down on her PB. That could prove costly.

    Northern Ireland's Anna McAuley wins it from lane two with Tori West of Australia in second.

    O'Dowda gets 893 points and that means it's Kate O'Connor who leads going into day two. She has a 49-point advantage with three events to go.

    Australia's Mia Scerri has jumped above Niamh Emerson for third, although it's very close, just six points separate those two.

    There's plenty of big names in heat two to go. Will they want to make a similar impression?

    There's a false start in the second heat and it's Australia's Tori West who twitched in the blocks.

    Just a yellow card. Only a warning for West.

    England's Darcy Revitt is fourth in heat two and just about qualifies with a time of 25.34 seconds.

    Wales' Theodora Taylor's place in the final is secured with Scotland's Emma Wood the first reserve.

    Kate O'Connor just told TNT Sports that she had a "nightmare" in the shot put by throwing 12.85m, but she didn't half make up for it in the 200m as she strolled to victory.

    The 25-year-old still firmly has a first Commonwealth Games and a first senior outdoor gold in her sights heading into day two.

    Women's 50m freestyle semi-finals

    Theodora Taylor comes in third in heat one and has put herself in good standing to get through with a time of 25.11.

    A time of 25.76 probably won't be enough to see Scotland's Emma Wood through.

    Athletics - heptathlon 200m

    Kate O'Connor and Jade O'Dowda have been kept apart in these 200m heats.

    And O'Connor lays down a marker!

    Absolutely dominant from the Northern Irishwoman. She wins by a distance and in a time of 24.14, just 0.07 off her personal best, for 967 points.

    England's Niamh Emerson is second in a season's best 24.95. That will help her chances of staying in the medal positions.

    Time to take a break from all the medal action.

    We've got the women's 50m freestyle semi-finals coming up and there's a big cheer for home hopeful, 18-year-old Emma Wood, as she takes her place in lane one.

    Wales' Theodora Taylor and Meghan Higgs will also be in heat one.

    Hopefully the rain eases soon because we've got the fourth discipline in the heptathlon due up any moment now.

    It's the 200m and, coming into it, England's Jade O'Dowda leads Northern Ireland's Kate O'Connor by 25 points.

    However, O'Connor's 200m best is nearly 0.3 seconds quicker than O'Dowda so it could be all change again.

    Niamh Emerson is third as it stands and will hope to cling on to the bronze medal spot.

    A reminder that medallist Amalie Smith of England is a mere 16 years of age as she is handed her bronze.

    She's already won a silver at these Games and is looking at home on that podium.

    Might need to get used to that sight.

    The crowd are oohing and aahing every time there's a legal throw in the hammer, regardless of distance.

    That throwing circle is resembling a pond.

    'The high jump is dangerous in these conditions'published at 20:01 BST 28 July

    Women's high jump

    Allison Curbishley
    Former GB 400m runner on BBC Radio 5 Live

    The conditions are shocking, they should call it. The high jump is dangerous.

    We've just seen Morgan Lake attempt a jump but that was not the usual Morgan Lake. If I was her, she has so much experience, that I would be going up to the officials and saying, sorry but this is not safe.

    It's fine sprinting in a straight line but when you're curving and then having to take off on this absolutely slippy surface, it's really dangerous.

    I wouldn't be surprised if she [Lake] doesn't get another attempt.

    Just look at that rain!

    Proof that I was not exaggerating. It is literally bouncing down.

    So much so, in fact, that the two field events: women's high jump final and women's hammer throw have been paused until the rain eases a little.

    Those moppers I talked about earlier are trying to clear the small section by the high jump bar.

    What's an even more painting Forth Bridge vibe than fruitlessly painting the Forth Bridge?

    Cause right now it's that.

    Honestly there might be less water in the Tollcross pool than is on the track now.

    A slow start but an impressive finish from England's Amy Hunt as she surges through to take the win in a time of 11.02 seconds.

    Jamaica's Jonielle Smith and Zoe Hobbs of New Zealand in the lanes either side looked to be getting away from her early but Hunt timed it perfectly, driving past the pair of them.

    Hobbs was second in 11.04 to qualify automatically but Smith (11.07) advances as well as one of the fastest losers.

    Smith's compatriot Jodean Williams (11.13) gets the second non-automatic spot.

    William Petric of Australia takes silver as Canada's Lorne Wigginton's hard start takes him to bronze.
