Wales finally hit gold trail as Greene delivers

Greene held off the challenge of South African Louis Van Zyl to win the 400m hurdles in 48.52 secs and add the Commonwealth title to his European crown.

Rhys Williams, Greene's training partner and European silver medallist, finished third in 48.96secs to add a bronze for Wales.

Baptiste followed up with a gold for England in the men's 200m final, winning in 20.45 seconds ahead of South African Lansford Spence. Christian Malcolm chalked up another bronze for Wales finishing third in 20.52.

Scotland's Eilidh Child won a silver medal behind Nigeria's Muizat Oldumosu in the women's 400m hurdles.

And Carl Myerscough battled his way to an England bronze in the men's discus.

Shooter Aaron Heading struck gold for England on the shooting range in the men's single trap and there was a silver for archer Alison Williamson in the women's individual recurve while David Millar bagged a cycling bronze for Scotland in the men's road race.

Two more England bronzes came in the lawn bowls and went to the men's triples team of Mark Bantock, Rob Newman and Graham Shadwell and the women's triples team of Sian Gordon, Sandy Hazell and Jamie-Lea Winch.

Millar's bronze came in a road race that Isle of Man star Mark Cavendish had been favourite to win.

But Cavendish, winner of 15 Tour de France stages in three seasons, lost touch with the leaders on the final lap.

Australia's Allan Davis triumphed ahead of Hayden Roulston of New Zealand with Millar third.

Heading had to beat Australian double Olympic champion Michael Diamond 147-146 to earn his gold in the men's single trap.

Heading missed his opening target but recovered well and missed only two more on his way to victory.

Earlier Mick Gault's bid to become the most medalled Commonwealth Games athlete came to an end when he finished fourth in the men's 25m centre fire pistol competition.

Gault, from Sheffield, was involved in a shoot-off after finishing equal second on 574 with three others behind Harpreet Singh, who won gold for India with a score of 580.

But, after scoring zero with the second of his five shots, he had a malfunction with his gun and chose not to continue.

Gault, who won a silver medal with Nick Baxter in the men's 10m air pistol pairs on Thursday, has 16 Games medals, two short of Australian record holder Phillip Adams.

He is entered for two more events and a medal in both would enable him to equal Adams's haul before retiring at the end of the Games.

Archer Williamson added individual silver to her team recurve silver after she lost 6-0 to Indian favourite Deepika Kumari.

James Tindall grabbed the winner as England beat South Africa 2-1 to book a place in the men's hockey semi-finals.

Ashley Jackson fired England ahead on eight minutes. Taine Paton levelled for the Kiwis early in the second half but Tindall broke clear to chip the goalkeeper with five minutes remaining and claim his 50th goal for his country. England face host nation India tomorrow at 5.30pm local time (1pm BST).

At the weightlifting Gurbinder Cheema's medal hopes ended as he finished fifth in the men's 105kg category.

England's netball women beat Papua New Guinea 89-31 to book their place in the semi-finals against Australia.
