Sport: Australia added five more gold medals to the tally on Day 3 as our swimming domination continues. Here’s how it all played out overnight in Glasgow.

Win over South Africa

Jumping to the hardwood, Australia secured a convicing win over South Africa in the women’s 3x3 wheelchair basketball.

Geting up 20-5, ahead of the men’s match that is about to get underway.

Jesse Moore stuns in Bronze performance

Jesse Moore has captured the bronze medal for Australia in the men’s all-around artistic gymnastics.

Looking certain to have at least the silver in hand, Canadian Felix Dolci pulled out an incredible floor performance to jump him on the podium.

Finishing with a 12.6 floor performance for a total of 79 points, Moore trailed the gold medallist Reuben Ward by 0.650 and Dolci by 0.450.

Moore went all out and left everything on the floor, but crucial penalties cost him in the end – walking away with a bronze in just his second Commonwealth Games campaign.

Moore’s mark to beat

Scotland’s Reuben Ward has been the man to beat throughout and he has set the bar that Moore needs to beat with 79.65 points.

Sitting at gold medal position, the fan favourite is aiming to be the first Scotsman to ever win the event.

Jesse Moore will need 13.25 in the floor to catch Ward.

While Ritam Malik has concluded his effort with 77.4, currently in the bronze position.

Club house lead set

New Zealand’s Daniel Stoddart has set the club house lead with a 77.3, there are still 14 more competitors to go and Moore is only 10.9 points off the mark.

One away for Moore

Just the floor routine stands between Moore and a Commonwealth Games medal.

He currently sits at second in the standings and will perform last.

Moore holds on to second

Ritam Malik currently sits in seventh place after his 13 point perfromance on the bar, cheekily saying “I’m just trying to be Jesse Moore” after he finished.

With just one rotation left Moore currently holds the silver medal, and now its all up to the floor routine.

Trailing the leader Reuben Ward by 0.55 points.

Clean Cassar sweep

Inisde the boxing ring, Jacob Cassar dominated his opponent to win on points.

There was no doubt amongst the judges, awarding the Aussie a 5-0 win over New Zealand’s Connor Campbell in the men’s 65kg category.

Moore in the hunt

Oceania champ Jesse Moore has put the pressure on the top three with a whopping 14.1 in the single bar.

He currently sits in first with one rotation to play but there are still plenty of competitors left to score.

A 5.3 degree of difficulty was met with a 8.7 score of execution, with a handy 0.1 bonus, putting Moore well within contention with a total of 66.4.

Standings after four

After four rotations Jesse Moore sits outside the medal mark at fourth with 52.3 and Ritam Malik is at sixth with 51.5.

Just two rotations remain and Scotsman Reuben Ward is starting to pull away.

The Aussies will need a strong floor and single bar routine if they want to snag a medal.

Malik, Moore dazzle on parallel bars

An underdog that is surprising many with his performance thus far, Ritam Malik continued to wow on the parallel bars.

Dazzling with finesse and an intricate pirouette, the 19-year-old topped it off with a double pike dismount for a 12.45 to sit at fourth with a total score of 51.5.

Following up was Jesse Moore who began with a hip circle giant to show he wasn’t taking it easy.

Earning praise for a stylish performance, his control was on point but unfortunately stumbled into the under swing double front dismount.

But the judges heaped praise for difficulty, with a total 13.4 as he shoots to the top of the leaderboard at 52.3.
