SPORT: It was another massive medal haul for Australia on the second-last day of action in Glasgow! Recap how it all went down here.

4x400m mixed relay up next

Australia will be in lane 7.

Over in the pole vault, it’s down to the final three, where Marschall has cleared 5.70m on his first jump to lead,

Myers speaks

“That was just an awful race; I couldn’t even give him a challenge, so that’s the disappointing part,” he says.

“One of the poorest executions that could have eventuated and that’s all thanks to my wrongdoing.

“I just put myself in a terrible position and never made a conscious effort to get out.

“When Kerr made his move, he had a jump on me and you can’t give someone a jump at this level and he smashed me in the end.”

Myers claims silver in mile run

It was an incredibly messy race, and Cam Myers found himself stuck in traffic.

World record holder Josh Kerr takes the win in front of his home crowd for Scotland.

Myers did eventually find space to rally and beat World Champion Cheruiyot for silver.

Defending champion Oli Hoare sailed home to claim fifth.

Silver for Boyes in 800m final

Peter Bol struggled really badly as he came into the final 100m, having been in second for most of the race.

Luke Boyes charged through to take silver behind Jamaica’s Navasjy Anderson, who wins his country’s first gold medal in the event.

Peyton Craig finishes sixth.

“I jumped over two fences to get to my parents, which wasn’t a great idea because my legs are cooked now,” he says.

“I tore my quad nine weeks ago, so not an ideal lead-up but completed five days of racing so can’t have been that bad.”

Bronze in women’s long jump

Brooke Buschkuehl jumped 6.80m in her first attempt and couldn’t quite improve on her final one with 6.79m to finish third.

England’s Jazmin Sawyears takes gold with 6.93m

Marschall clears his first jump

He’s had to wait a fair while to get in action but easily clears his opening vault of 5.40m.

Our victorious relay team speaks

“I don’t think I’ve ever run quite that scared in my life, and I was just running for that line,” Browning says.

“Four years ago I tripped over and got the team DQ’d in the heats, and I had to carry that burden, and that’s the best run of my career.”

“I’m really happy with that running in lane eight your completely blind,” Law says.

“Josh and I knew we were going to have to stretch it out if we wanted gold, and we just sent it,” Kennedy says.

“Credit to everyone who’s helped us and it just goes to show we’re doing something right.”

Little takes gold in women’s javelin!

She secured it with a season’s best 61.88m in her first throw which no one else came close to.

She was one of just two finalists to clear the 60m mark.

That’s Australia’s fourth straight gold in this event and our fifth at Scotstoun today.

Incredible effort.

Aussies just miss out in women’s 4x100m

Torrie Lewis was flying home but couldn’t quite chase down Trinidad and Tobago for bronze.

Their changeovers weren’t quite as clean as the men’s, and that’s the difference as they miss out by 0.02s

“It’s been incredible. I couldn’t ask for anything more. I think we had a really good race and that’s all you can ask for,” Monique Hanlon says.

“It was really close I just didn’t have the legs for that last little bit,” Lewis says.

Can the women repeat the feat?

Like the men they will in lane eight.

Ebony Lane to lead off with Torrie Lewis to lead them home.
