It's a bit wet at Hampden Park this evening as the rain has been falling all day. Hopefully the track will be in good enough condition for some quality races this evening.

Reports suggest that the events at Hampden Park on the track have been delayed because of the heavy rain in Glasgow. It looks to be at least a 45-minute delay at the moment.

MORE BRONZE! England get another bronze medal as Jo Pavey finishes in third place in the 5000m at Hampden Park. The 40-year-old matched the Kenyan athletes all the way and just managed to edge herself into the bronze position to claim a medal. A great run!

Well that's it from me this evening. I'll pass you over to Giuseppe Labellarte, who will take you through the rest of the action from the Commonwealth Games today.

Thanking you, Simon! We've got a bumper Commonwealth Games evening ahead of us, with England's Tom Daley and Jamaica's Usain Bolt in action tonight, plus much more! Stay tuned to Sports Mole for all the latest news!

BREAKING! Matthew Hudson-Smith pips Chris Brown of the Bahamas over the finish line to power Team England to 4x400m relay gold!

Now for some reaction. Jo Pavey, who won bronze in the women's 5000m, has told reporters that she could scarcely believe that she claimed a medal in the event.

BREAKING! England's golden boy Tom Daley has won the Commonwealth Games diving gold in spectacular fashion! The rest of the field was barely in the running for first place as the Plymouth-born diver did so well on each attempt, including the 'demon dive'! A stunning performance!

And now, we prepare for one of the most highly-anticipated events at this year's Games, the men's 4x100m relay. A certain athlete competing in this event tonight has won six Olympic gold medals and eight World gold medals, but never a Commonwealth gold. Will tonight be Usain Bolt and Jamaica's night, or will England, featuring Adam Gemili, rain on his parade?

BREAKING! England have completed an amazing night in the boxing, as Joe Joyce takes gold in the men's super heavyweight bout, beating Australia's Joseph Goodall!

It's been an action-packed night in the athletics this evening. Team England sealed bronze in both the women's 4x400m relay and 4x100m relay, while England and Wales both gained medals in the pole vault.

England's age-old penalty shootout heartbreak in the football has sadly filtered to another sport, as the women's hockey team lose to Australia in the gold medal match. They were 11 seconds from victory in normal time too. Nevertheless, the silver is theirs.

Time now for some badminton results, as England secure bronze in both the men's doubles and the women's doubles.

Sports Mole's very own Pascal Lemesre has been chatting to Tom Daley this evening. The golden boy from Plymouth has admitted that he is "chuffed" at having won the gold medal in the men's 10m diving event, and has also claimed that he can beat the much-fancied Chinese divers at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics in two years' time.

Now for some news from the Jamaican camp. Our very own Barney Corkhill has spoken to Jason Livermore, part of the winning men's 4x100 relay team, who hailed his teammates while also paying tribute to rivals England. Meanwhile, reports have come from Glasgow claiming that Usain Bolt will be retiring after the 2017 World Athletics Championships in London, which would undoubtedly be a massive blow for the discipline.

You can't help but feel sorry for England's hockey ladies, who lost in such dramatic fashion against Australia in the final, conceding an equaliser with 11 seconds to go before losing on penalties. Captain Kate Richardson-Walsh has pulled no punches, describing the defeat as "heartbreaking" and "devastating".

Well folks, it's been an absolute pleasure taking you through these last four hours, arguably the most exciting, dramatic and star-studded of the entire Commonwealth Games. And they have not disappointed, have they? England sweeping up in the boxing, the heartbreaking hockey defeat to Australia, and of course, arguably the two biggest names at the Games, Tom Daley and Usain Bolt, delivering the goods and sealing the golds!
