    O'Connor storms to victory in heat onepublished at 20:13 BST

    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 medals 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 1.

    Athletics - heptathlon 200m

    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 second medal ceremony for England's Smithpublished at 20:07 BST

    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

    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.

    Another day, another gold for New Zealand's Lewis Clareburt.

    The 2024 world champion retains his title by an entire body length.

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

    England's Max Litchfield ends in fifth, several seconds slower than his qualification time.

    One more semi-final to go with England's Amy Hunt one of the leading competitors in this one.

    Jamaica's Jonielle Smith and Zoe Hobbs of New Zealand look the biggest threats.

    Well, those two and the rain because it is bouncing down now! This is as bad as we've seen it since the action got under way.

    England's Imani Lansiquot with a very impressive run.

    She takes the victory in semi-final two in a time of 11.13. Slower than the first semi but Lansiquot and Sade McCreath (11.19) were well clear of the field so didn't have to push it.

    They will both fancy their chances of getting on to the podium later.
