Holly Bradshaw leads England's hopes of a medal in the women's pole vault, having battled to make the Games despite injury at the world championships earlier this month, where her biggest competition could come from Australia's Nina Kennedy.

England also have medal hopes in the women's discus with Jade Lally, bronze medallist at Glasgow 2014, coming in to Birmingham with the top season's best distance in the field.

Peaty bids to bounce back

After his shock defeat to team-mate James Wilby in the 100m breaststroke final on Sunday night, Adam Peaty was joint fastest in the morning heats of the 50m discipline but a semi-final time of 27.03 seconds was two hundredths of a second slower than Australia’s Sam Williamson in the evening. 

The 27-year-old, who has a 50m Commonwealth silver on his record from Glasgow 2014, is the favourite to land his fourth Commonwealth gold.

Wilby will be hoping to beat his team-mate again and land the breaststroke double.
