The performances have been incredible, so it is a big 'well done' to all of the medallists so far. We now look forward to seeing the action unfold over the remaining six days of competition – and to cheering on our athletes to a new record for Team Scotland."
- Louise Martin, the chairman of sportscotland, the country's funding agency, reacts to the record haul.
- Scotland now has a total of 33 medals, including 13 gold. That matches the total they won at Edinburgh in 1986, the last occasion the Commonwealth Games were staged in Scotland. But back then Scotland won only three gold medals and many of the others were devalued because of the number of countries who boycotted the event.
23:28 It was a wonderful evening of action in the pool and on the track, with Kemar Bailey-Cole and Blessing Okagbare winning the crucial 100m titles. There was English, Aussie and South African double-success in the pool and wins elsewhere for Malaysia, Singapore and England in racket sports.
Here is the medals table at the end of day five.
23:26 So after that historic moment in boxing, and a top quality evening of sport, we are drawing to an end of proceedings on day five, and what better way to begin setting the sun on proceedings than with this photo provided by insidethegames historian Philip Barker earlier...

Women's boxing at the Commonwealth Games
![Duncan Mackay new](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/07/Glasgow_2014_blog_images/Duncan_Mackay_new.jpg)
- Editor Duncan Mackay summarises the first evening of women's boxing.
23:23 Adams has her rival on the ropes again in the final round but Oladeji manages to wiggle out of it. But the contest ends with her on the ropes again, arms up defending herself. The judges' decision to award the fight to Adams is met with loud cheers. Adams looks just as intense here as she did during London 2012.
23:18 Adams has Oladeji on the ropes in the third round, catching her full-on with a couple of upper cuts, and is skilfully avoiding the few punch's the Nigerian throws.
23:12 At the end of the first round Adams strides confidently back to her corner. Really sad to see so many empty seats here.
23:07 Nicola Adams up next, the class fighter of this competition. She faces Nigerian Oluwatoyin Oladeji. The departure of most of the Scots fans earlier means it is almost an exclusively English arena.
23:04 The bell rings for the end of the contest between Ongare and Harris. The judges give the unanimous decision to the Australian.
![Duncan Mackay new](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/07/Glasgow_2014_blog_images/Duncan_Mackay_new.jpg)
- Editor Duncan Mackay could teach the DJ a thing or two at the boxing.
22:58 Next up it's Kenya's Christine Ongare against Australia's Kristy Harris. Ongare is a 21-year-old from Nairobi. Harris is also 21 from Geelong and financed part of her training expenses for these Games through a crowd-funding request on Starstadium.com.
![Northern Ireland Flag](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/07/Glasgow_2014_blog_images/Northern_Ireland_Flag.jpg)
22:47 At the end of the second round Dame Mary Peters, the 1972 Olympic pentathlon champion and Northern Ireland's greatest ever sportswomen, is introduced to the crowd. They respond with a suitably good reception.
Unlike the men, the women also box for four rounds, although they are only two minutes long. We are now into the final round with Walsh seemingly comfortably on top.
22:42 Walsh looks clearly the better fighter, landing some good blows on Dumas. Perhaps we should not be surprised as she is coached by Peter Taylor, father of Katie, the Irishwoman who won the women's lightweight Olympic gold medal at London 2012 and is considered the greatest female amateur boxer in history.

- Editor Duncan Mackay on history being made over in the boxing ring.
22:36 All the medals-action is now over for the evening, but we have women's boxing about to star, for the first time ever at a Commonwealth Games. Before we go to that, a quick hockey result. New Zealand beat South Africa 2-1 in the women's competition.
Bailey-Cole reaction
![Quote marks](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/07/Glasgow_2014_blog_images/Quote_marks.jpg)
- insidethegames historian turned flash quotes man Philip Barker has just returned from the press conference, where 100m champion Kemar Bailey-Cole was holding fort. He doesn't like Scottish food apparently, London's was much better.
Historic moment in boxing but crowds leaving

A spot of scuba after the swimming?

![Jamaica Flag](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/07/Glasgow_2014_blog_images/Jamaica_Flag.jpg)
Jamaica was also responsible for the only other streak of three consecutive wins in this event. Don Quarrie won it in 1970, 1974 and 1978. And the last Games that two athletes from the same nation were on the podium in the men's 100m, was Edinburgh 1986, when Linford Christie and Mike McFarlane clinched silver and bronze respectively.

![Duncan Mackay new](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/07/Glasgow_2014_blog_images/Duncan_Mackay_new.jpg)
- Editor Duncan Mackay at the boxing. Could the two 100m finals have had something to do with the empty seats, I wonder?
Kemar Bailey-Cole secures Jamaican gold over 100m
22:10 Bailey-Cole has a PB of 9.93, set last year. He was part of the Jamaican 4 x 100m relay quartet which won gold at London 2012, although he only ran in the heat. He did run in the final the following year, however, as Jamaica won the World Championship title in Moscow. He also came fourth in the 100m at those Championships.

21:50 So, the men's 100m final. Gemili in lane four, Bailey-Cole in five and Livermore in six look the lanes to watch.

Weightlifting gold for New Zealand
![Glasgow 2014 gold medal](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/07/Glasgow_2014_blog_images/Glasgow_2014_gold_medal.jpg)
The bearded New Zealander was last onto the stage and had failed with his first two attempts at 184kg but he nailed it when the pressure was on to become Commonwealth Games champion.
The 31-year-old goes one better than his silver in Delhi four years ago while India's Vikash Thakur and Pascal Plamondon of Canada lifted a total of 333kg - but silver goes to the lighter Thakur.
Okagbare wins the women's 100m for Nigeria
![Blessing Okagbare speeds to gold over 100m ©Getty Images](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/07/Glasgow_2014_blog_images/Blessing_Okagbare_speed_to_gold_over_100m.jpg)
![Twitter logo](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/07/Glasgow_2014_blog_images/Twitter_logo.png)
- Arukaino Umukoro 's tweet shows how sport can bring a smile to a nation facing huge challenges elsewhere.
Okagbare came third in the long jump at Beijing 2008 and won a silver medal in that event at the 2013 World Championships. She's also won three events on the Diamond League circuit this year - one in the long jump and two over 200m. But it's the shorter sprint she has excelled in tonight.
![Glasgow 2014 gold medal](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/07/Glasgow_2014_blog_images/Glasgow_2014_gold_medal.jpg)
Veronica Campbell-Brown runs 11.03 for second and Kerron Stewart manages a season's best 10.07 for bronze. So a 2-3 for Jamaica but not the win they so wanted.
21:34 So, it's time for the first of the two 100m finals. Will it be the Nigerian, or one of the Jamaicans or someone else? Campbell-Brown has the experience, but Okagbare the form...
Boxing without headgear?
![Duncan Mackay new](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/07/Glasgow_2014_blog_images/Duncan_Mackay_new.jpg)
"He said, "It's interesting because it's the first time without headguards, which is great. I love that. It's added another element of skill to the boxing. You've got an inch on either side of your head with a headguard, which means there's less of a propensity to slip punches because you know you're likely to get caught with a jab.
"Without the headguard, it's far more interesting as you get to see the head movement and the body movement. It's added a whole new level of excitement to the boxing game.'"
- Editor Duncan Mackay on the impact of boxing rule changes.
A great night continues for South Africa

Behind him are Singapore's Joseph Schooling and England's Adam Barrett in second and third respectively. A certain royal couple enjoyed that one...

- Reporter Gary Anderson has made his way over to the weightlifting.
21:29 Damian Warner, the overall leader, wins the final heat of the decathlon 400m. The Canadian runs a swift 47.78 for 4,378 points overall. John Lane remains second overall after placing second in that same heat behind David Guest of Wales. Kurt Felix of Grenada remains third overnight.
Swimming and athletics medals action
![Glasgow 2014 gold medal](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/07/Glasgow_2014_blog_images/Glasgow_2014_gold_medal.jpg)
Her time of 52.68 was just ahead of team mate and sister Bronte Campbell.
Fellow Australian Emma McKeon came in third. England's Fran Hallsall is fourth in a high quality contest.
![South African flag](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/07/Glasgow_2014_blog_images/South_African_flag.jpg)
This was also his third gold medal at the Games, equal to compatriot Chad le Clos. Only Roland Schoeman has more for South Africa, four.
21:11 We are focusing overwhelmingly on the swimming and athletics here. But a quick update on the hockey, where New Zealand lead South Africa in the first half of their women's encounter.

- Rachel Holdsworth is proving there is more than pool and track action to watch.
21:04 That shot put gold for Richards is Jamaica's first gold of Glasgow 2014 in any sport.
Could there be more later?

The Canadian has dominated this event, winning with a throw of 71.97m to defend the title she won four years ago in Delhi.
Julia Ratcliffe of New Zealand finishes in second with England's Sophie Hitchon in third.

The Scot finished the distance in 12.20 seconds, more than a second faster than Maria Elisa Muchavo of Mozambique in second.
Namibia's Lahja Ishitile collects the bronze.
20:15 It appears Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge have moved away from The Hydro and made their way to the Tollcross International Swimming Centre with the pair just walking directly beside the press tribunes.
I was half tempted to "pull a Roz" and ask for a selfie with the Royal couple.

- Duncan Mackay is at the SECC this evening as women's boxing gets set to make it's Commonwealth Games debut
19:49 Kemar Bailey-Cole stops the clock at 10:00 for the quickest time of the day to win the final semi-final of the men's 100m. Warren Fraser of the Bahamas won the first one, before Adam Gemili, the 2012 world junior champion whose broke the 20 second barrier over 200m last year, won the second in 10:07. Nickel Ashmeade and Jason Livermore of Jamaica join them in the final, along with Mark Jelks of Nigeria, Ramon Gittens of Barbados and Antoine Adams of St Kitts and Nevis.
That will be the finale later on this evening.
19:47 A superb effort by Hynd in that 200m individual medley final, the crowd urged him on and he did not disappoint.
It was also good to see Sri Lanka's Amilla Kumarasiri cheered home by this brilliant support here inside the Tollcross with the Sri Lankan over a lap behind the rest of the field.
Great sportsmanship!

The English swimmer finishes more than eight seconds ahead of Australia's Jess Aungles in a time of 2:22.86.
Another Aussie, Blake Cockane comes in third.

Next up is the men's Para-sport 200m SM8 individual medley.
19:36 There's a great atmosphere in Hampden Park as we wait for the men's semi-finals to begin. Canada's Sultana Frizell, meanwhile, has set a Games record of 70.55m to lead the women's hammer competition.
19:28 The two Jamaicans Schillonie Calvert and Veronica Campbell-Brown wins the opening two semi-finals of the 100m before Blessing Okagbare of Nigeria wins the third. She comfortably held off another Jamaican in Kerron Stewart and stops the clock in a swift 10.93.
She will take some beating in the final after that.

She clocks a Commonwealth Games record time of 8:18.11 to take the win.
Behind her is New Zealand's Lauren Boyle in 8:20.59 with Canada's Brittany Maclean just behind her in third.
19:15 Huge cheers at Tollcross now as Hannah Miley makes her way to the starters block. It's time for the women's 800m freestyle final!

There's a familiar sight. Mitch Larkin takes the win in 1:55.83, followed closely by team mates Josh Beaver and Matson Lawson.
There's no doubt we'll be seeing more of that this evening...

Jing Yi Tee seals a 2-0 win over England's Sarah Walker to secure a third consecutive badminton mixed team gold for Malaysia. Walker rallied late on as the crowd willed her to extend the excitement at the Emirates Arena but to no avail.
Victories in the men's singles and men's doubles also saw Malaysia record a 3-1 win.
England's solitary win came at the start of the match as Chris and Gabby Adcock took the mixed doubles.
However, England will no doubt be happy with an improvement on bronze from Delhi four years ago when they have time to reflect.
18:25 Sarah Walker's rescue plan for England is not going good as she slips to a 21-16 loss in game one of the women's singles match in the mixed team gold medal decider.
Jing Yi Tee is looking relaxed and strong and only needs one more game to secure a third Commonwealth Games gold for her country in this event.
The three medal winners in the men's singles in Glasgow – Matthew, Willstrop and England's Peter Barker - also finished in this order at Delhi 2010.

And furthermore...New Zealand's victory today in the 50m rifle prone came 16 years after winning bronze in the same discipline at Kuala Lumpur 1998. The record number of years between Commonwealth Games medals is 20, set by Northern Ireland's Percy Watson, who won gold in the lawn bowls men's pairs in 1954 having claimed silver in the men's fours in 1934.
Malaysia's Wee Kiong Tan and Wei Shem Goh take the first game in the badminton men's doubles against England's Chris Adcock and Andrew Ellis. The sides were tit-for-tat throughout but Goh wins it with a nice effort to secure a 1-0 lead.

The Team England Flagbearer takes the final game 11-5 to win what has been a truly incredible contest.
His team mate James Willstrop gave a commendable performance, coming from behind twice to level the tie, but it was the reigning world and Commonwealth champion who eventually took the tie 3-2.
Another Englishman, Peter Barker, secured the bronze earlier this afternoon with a win over India's Saurav Ghosal.
17:25 We are hearing reports of problems at Hampden Park as spectators arrive for tonight's athletics, which includes the finals of the men's and women's 100 metres.

![Gary Anderson](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.insidethegames.biz/images/2014/07/Glasgow_2014_blog_images/Gary_Anderson.jpg)
Chong was not done, however, bringing it back to 11-11 then taking the next four points as began to sense he was in with a real chance of victory. But once again the momentum swung as Ouseph reeled off a couple superb smashes on his way to levelling at 16-16
Back came the Malaysian again to reel off four straight points before Ouseph countered with three but Chong produced a stunning cross-court rocket down to the Englishman's left to take the game and level the match at 1-1.

The crowd wants more and they're getting it here at the Scotstoun Sports Campus.
Time for the decider...
17:02 Scotland has a fine tradition of distance running.
