    The big battle to watch out for could be in the final race between Sally Pearson and Tiffany Porter.

    More medals in the diving?

    Such a hard race to call especially with no semi finals in between!

    Lawn Bowls finishes today with three finals

    One is an old enemies clash England V Scotland

    Both England and Scotland could take 2 gold - there are no aussie finalists.

    First up, South Africa v England in the women's pairs bowls. The South Africans have been the only one of the non-home nations to be consistently good.

    Hope the weather is not as bad as they have forecast for the weekend. They will have to tie Kylie down or she will be blown off the podium.

    64 golds to be decided over these final 3 days. England topping the table is not guaranteed just yet.

    No guarantee, but there are only 3 gold medals for the Aussies to take in netball and hockey, and England is likely to rack up multiple golds in gymnastics, boxing, squash etc.

    I expect two aussie gold in athletics tonight - Womens Discus is almost a banker and Sally Pearson is favourite over Tiffany.

    Diving and cycling could go either way.

    Yes I'm a pessimist

    Don't think the Aussies have anything to get in Bowls, not much in boxing, not much in gymnastics, up against tough odds in cycling and only a couple in athletics, those are the only ones where they can make up their deficit.

    Remember England are on about 135 medals once the seven confirmed boxing medals get added plus the two definite in table plus a couple of bowls ones and probably others I have forgotten.

    No diving facility in a city the size of Glasgow ?
    Very remiss of the organisers.

    Wales trailing in the netball, but fighting back now.

    If you haven't got the budget then hands were probably tied. That's not their fault.

    Lawn Bowls Gold medal match so tight right now. Could go either way but England pulled back hard before so it could go anyweher.

    It should be a 3m synchro gold for Jack Laugher and Chris Mears. Their competition is nowhere near as good as them. Unless Matthew Mitcham and Grant Nel are in it. :p

    The England skip will have to play better than in the last end.
