    It is safe to say that has been a very successful early session of boxing for England's fighters, with three bouts and three gold medals.

    In the women's 65kg final, Sacha Hickey defeated Northern Ireland's Kaci Rock, who takes silver.

    Patris Mughalzai won the men's 65kg final against Australian Jacob Cassar before Isaac Okoh beat Welshman Connor Williams in the 90kg event.

    Jon McConnell won gold for Northern Ireland in the men's 70kg final, overcoming Orlando Holley-Sotomi of Wales.

    England's Isaac Okoh wins gold by unanimous decision!

    Connor Williams battled well, but Okoh just managed to land one too many solid punches on the Welshman and controlled the fight.

    Okoh, the men's 90kg world number 10 from Essex, secures the biggest victory of his career to date and it's a well deserved one at that.

    Three gold medal bouts for English boxers in this early session, three gold medals won.

    Williams can still be very happy with silver.

    That was one of the best 30 minutes of netball I've ever watched. Edge of your seat kind of stuff.

    Australia look completely rattled by Jamaica's defensive power duo, and Shamera Sterling-Humphrey is having the game of her life.

    Australia have never missed out on a Commonwealth Games final since the sport was introduced to the Games. This would be historic.

    A shock result remains on the cards at the Hydro.

    Jamaica look really strong on court, they are playing with confidence and are a force to be reckoned with.

    Defending champions and world number one side Australia have rallied to close the gap to two points at half-time.

    A dream come true for English boxer Patris Mughalzai as he collects his gold medal.

    The 24-year-old, who trains at Powerday Hooks boxing club in London, overpowered Australian silver medallist Jacob Cassar in the final.

    Mughalzai raises his arms and waves to the crowd before Jerusalem rings around the SEC Centre.

    It's a big upset in the final race of this first session at Scotstoun as Sophie Hahn is beaten!

    The England athlete was the favourite to win the women's 200m T38 final and complete a sprint double - and she was well out in front coming off the bend and even halfway down the final straight.

    But she hit the wall and Australia's Rhiannon Clarke comes through to take the gold.

    It's silver for Hahn and Briseis Brittain, also of Australia, secures bronze.

    Gold for Jon McConnell and I'm sure he's glad he skipped Love Island now!

    Team Northern Ireland finish with a gold, two silvers and three bronze.

    Not a bad return as half of the 12-strong team come back with medals.

    An incredibly tight, hard-fought contest between two home nations boxers but it is Northern Ireland's Jon McConnell who wins the gold medal by split decision on points.

    Welsh fighter Orlando Holley-Sotomi lands a massive blow on McConnell's chin in the final round, but McConnell stands strong.

    Holley-Sottomi was deducted one point for his head being too low.

    McConnell wins 4-1 on the judges' decision. It's silver for Holley-Sottomi.

    There will be three home nations representatives in the men's -73kg judo semi-finals later on at the SEC.

    England's Benjamin Levy impressed in winning both his contests by an ippon and he will face Joshua Green of Northern Ireland in the last four.

    Green edged past Scotland's Oliver Short in the quarter-finals.

    England's Ethan Nairne will go in the other semi-final. He beat Scotland's Daniel Pacitti by an ippon before beating Wales' Ben Moore.

    I've just caught up with Wales' Charlotte Henrich after her fourth place finish.

    She says she's happy with the result on her Games debut.

    A pre-race happy playlist was key for her with Rihanna, Zara Larsson and Pink Pantheress powering her to a 51.16 second run.

    She even went to the same school as Pink Pantheress!

    Jon McConnell is Team Northern Ireland's last hope of a boxing gold.

    He skipped the chance to be on Love Island to make his Commonwealth Games debut and is guaranteed at least a silver.

    It is arguably his toughest fight to date against Wales' Orlando Holley-Sotomi.

    "I know this opponent is going to be good, he has been dynamite throughout the tournament but if anyone is going to beat him it's me," he told BBC Sport NI on Friday.
