In the men's 56kg semi-final tomorrow morning (10:47 BST), 2014 Youth Olympic bronze medallist Peter McGrail faces India's Hussamuddin Mohammed for a chance to claim Commonwealth gold.

The 21-year-old defeated opponent Samuel Yaw Addo of Ghana 5-0 on points and won't settle for anything less than gold.

Speaking on BBC TV, McGrail said: "I feel great. The vibe around the team is great and for nine of us I think it is to be through to the silver medal bout, all guaranteed a bronze, the coaches are buzzing and the supporters are buzzing and we just want to change the colour of our medals to gold.

"Its taken us back to when we went to the European Championships, where we got eight or nine medals, it's the same vibe as that and everyone is getting behind each other. We're all having a laugh and everyone's going out and putting the performances in.

"I just think I think team England, men and women, we're just a class above the rest and it's showing in the ring - even outside the ring we have people from other countries telling you that you were great and for everyone to appreciate your skills is great."

In an all-England affair Alison Waters and Daryl Selby defeated Jenny Duncalf and team-mate Adrian Waller to reach the semi-finals of the mixed doubles squash competition.

The game was decided in a tight third set, which Waters and Selby edged 11-10.

Diving’s power couple deliver big for England.

Who would have predicted boyfriend and girlfriend duo Jack Laugher and Lois Toulson would have both landed honours on the same day?

"It's my season opener so I was always expecting more but I'm really happy because everything is solid. I just want to enjoy it as much as I did today because I can get really nervous. I just want to put a solid performance in.

"Everyone wants to get a medal but no one expects it so in that sense I can be really chilled."
