The track cycling teams will also return to the velodrome to compete for medals on offer in a range of men's and women's scratch, tandem and time trial events. In her sole event of the Games, Dame Sophie Pascoe won gold in the womens S9 100 metre freestyle with a time of 1:02.95 with Australia's Emily Beecroft coming in second. The women's sprint team of Ellesse Andrews, Rebecca Petch and Olivia King followed that up with a sensational performance in their final, securing New Zealand's second gold in an hour and finishing with a new Games record time of 47.425 seconds to beat Canada by half-a-second. Earlier, the women's team pursuit - down a rider after Ally Woollaston was injured in the Tour de France - took silver in the gold medal race against Australia. The New Zealand team are currently sitting in second on the medal table after a highly successful opening day at the Commonwealth Games - behind only Australia.

All the action from day two at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

Andrews, who qualified as the sixth seed, lost the first of three races but stormed back to win the final two, including a decisive victory in the decider. Botha set a Games record in qualifying, with her time of 3:19:836 blasting her way into the gold final, with a healthy advantage over Australian Maeve Plouffe, who will take on Botha in the final but recorded a time 2.159 seconds slower than the Kiwi. Aaron Gate and Tom Sexton will face off in the gold medal final of the men's 4000m individual pursuit, with Sexton having set a Commonwealth Games record, only for Gate to beat it 20 minutes later to qualify top, 1.56 seconds ahead of Sexton who claimed second in what will be an all-Kiwi final. Less than 24 hours after winning silver as a member of the women's team pursuit, Botha is now favourite to win gold in the 3000m individual pursuit. With England needing a win to advance to the semis, the hosts were no match for the defending champions, with the Kiwis running out to a 21-7 lead at half-time and adding three more tries in the second half to qualify top from their pool and set up a semifinal showdown with Australia. Clareburt led all the way to cruise to victory in his heat, with his time of 4:17:72 the fastest in his heat by nearly two seconds, and seeing him qualify top for the final, 0.6 seconds ahead of Australian Brendon Smith.
