Commonwealth Games 2022 LIVE: Zharnel Hughes takes men’s 200m silver as Elaine Thompson-Herah wins women’s

Disappointment for England as the major force in men’s hockey, Australia, produce a comeback performance from 2-0 down to win 3-2.

They go through to the final and England will have to aim for bronze.

Harry Coppell can’t clear the bar at his third attempt and that means he stays in the bronze-medal position.

Hague has already gone over so is guaranteed at least a silver, with Australia’s Marschall having already cleared 5.60m.

Adam Hague goes again for his final shot at 5.65 to try and move into gold…but he can’t quite get his run-up in the right stride and that means he’ll indeed take silver.

Kurtis Marschall takes gold, but he’s still going to run again and try to go higher.

The final now of the women’s 200m. Elaine Thompson-Herah, the double-double Olympic champion, is the clear favourite.

She starts fast and is way in front as they round the bend – she wins it by an absolute mile! A new Games record time of 22.09!

Nigeria’s Favor Ofili takes silver, a very strong run indeed, with Christine Mboma taking bronze.

Scottish finalist Beth Dobbin finishes eighth.

It turns out Jack Laugher is fallible after all.

England swept the podium in the men’s 3m springboard, but it was not the one-two-three many had expected as Dan Goodfellow dethroned the defending champion.

Not since Glasgow 2014 had Laugher lost a Commonwealth Games final, having already retained his 1m springboard and synchronised 3m springboard titles in Birmingham.

But after nerves almost cost him a place in the final – scoring zero on his first dive in the morning preliminaries – Laugher had to settle for bronze behind his former synchro partner.

Goodfellow claimed his first individual Commonwealth Games gold ahead of Jordan Houlden as Laugher took encouragement from the way he responded to his earlier wobble.

Zharnel Hughes is in great shape and is head-to-head with Jereem Richards as they go into the straight – but it’s the Trinidadian Richards who surges away to not just win, but set a new Games record – a fantastic run from both. Silver for England there and a PB for the season for Hughes.

Joseph Paul Amoah takes bronze for Ghana.

• Richards 19.8s (GR)
• Hughes 20.12 (SB)
• Amoah 20.49

Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix secured her second medal of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham on Saturday night in the women’s 10m synchro platform competition.

The 17-year-old secured top spot on the podium with victory in the individual women’s 10m platform on Thursday and claimed silver alongside Eden Cheng in the synchronised event.

Spendolini-Sirieix is the daughter of First Dates star Fred Sirieix, who was also at the Aquatics Centre in Sandwell earlier in the week to witness her winning gold.

And it’s cleared for Kurtis Marschall too! He gets over at 5.50m and goes second.

The pole vault event was delayed earlier as the actual poles went missing, which is a bit of an important issue really.

Thankfully they eventually turned up and there are two medals coming England’s way, but Coppell, Hague and Marschall will all continue shortly to see who finishes where on the podium.

Adam Hague takes the lead in the pole vault as he clears 5.45m and that guarantees him a medal.

All depends on the final jumps at 5.50m…Harry Coppell clears it! That’s an England 1-2, with one Australian to go.

A quick round-up of everything going on right now:

• England are 2-1 up against Australia in the men’s hockey at half time
• In the men’s 400m hurdles, Kyron McMaster has defended his title while Malik Metivier was disqualified for going before the gun
• Alastair Chalmers took bronze for Guernsey – their first Commonwealth Games medal in athletics
• Australia have beaten New Zealand in the cricket semi-finals. They play India in the final; England vs NZ for bronze

England’s Lewis Williams is raring to go as his chance of securing a Commonwealth gold medal on home turf is now “within touching distance”.

The 23-year-old won his heavyweight semi-final against Australia’s Edgardo Coumi by unanimous decision on Saturday.

Local boy Williams, who hails from the nearby town of Leamington Spa, will face Samoa’s Ato Leau Plodzicki-Faoagali for gold on Sunday.

He said: “My target has been there for a long time and it feels so close. Now it is within touching distance.

“Everything went according to the game plan, against a very good boxer. I thought I won every round and the judges gave it to me.

“I will celebrate afterwards and it will all sink in. But for now I have a job to do.”
