Commonwealth Games 2026: Live coverage of Day 3 from Glasgow

Australia’s pool dominance continues into the 100m women’s butterfly, stacking the deck to see three qualify.

Lizzy Dekkers trailed by 0.82 seconds at the 50m mark at third position, Dekkers made up ground in the tail end to post a time of 59.31.

While Alex Perkins and Birttany Castelluzzo went head to head in the final heat, trying to pip each other at the finish line with the Castelluzzo gaining the slight edge.

Henry Allan and Se-Bom Lee have both qualified in the men’s 200m backstroke, each finishing second in their respective heat.

WA’s Sophie Garbin looks unstoppable, outscoring England by herself as the Diamonds lead 35-24 at half time.

England came out the gates hot, but Australia punished costly mistakes and are making little of their own.

Garbin has been automatic in front of the net, scoring 25 goals off 26 attempts at 96 per cent efficiency. Her direct opponent looked lost at time, having no answer for the lob with Garbin extending and winning the matchup comfortably in the first half.

Kiera Austin has been flying around the court, getting the defensive tip in the centre and hustling back to reap the benefits with a score.

Goalkeeper Courtney Bruce showed frustration with early calls but finally had one go her way in the dying minutes of the second quarter, and let her opponent know.

The experienced Jamie-Lee Price was classy as always, helping facilitate transition alongside Kate Moloney.

Inside the ropes, Canberra boxer Monique Suraci lost her bout via decision against Engalnd’s Lauren Mackie.

The women’s 54kg content was closely judged, but Mackie had the slight edge winning the favour of 2-3 from the judges.

The Diamonds lead England 18-11 at the first break, Sophie Garbin has shot a game high 11 goals.

They saved the best to last after the dolphins had to wait until the last heat in the 50m men’s breastroke.

Riding the high of his gold medal win from this morning, Sam Williamson delivered a powerful performance to win the heat with a qualifying high of 26.75.

While Bailey Lello came in at sixth for the heat, but his 28.06 was just enough qualify for the semi finals.

WA pair Courtney Price and Sohpie Garbin have helped land early blows.

Price is all over England’s attack, limiting them to four goals early while Commonwealth Games greeny Garbin sunk seven goals in the opening minutes.

They win the second set 16-0 to move temporarily to the top of their group with four wins and one loss.

Second-placed Northern Ireland will take on third-placed Guernsey, which will have big ramifications for the group.

The highly anticipated bout between the Diamonds and the England netball side is underway.

Australia are the defending champions from Birmingham in 2022, while England won gold in 2018.

They are the two clear favourites which has built this to be a must watch bout.

Jack ended up as the ninth fastest qualifier after taking second in her heat.

“It was a bit more 200-style pacing, so I might have taken it a bit too easy,” she tells 7.

“I definitely have lived more in the moment here than I probably have ever in a competition, so I can actually feel it right now.

“This morning I woke up and thought I need a lot more caffeine, but I didn’t take it so I can get a good rest between now and the semi.”
