The breakaway group has well and truly strung out now. Jess Stenson has injected another level of pace and Helalia Johannes and Margaret Muriuki cannot keep up with it.

Stenson looks very strong, tired obviously but strong, and barring disaster now she should have the gold in a few minutes time. Helalia Johannes won't be able to retain her title after becoming Namibia's first Commonwealth gold medalist four years ago.

Lucy Turmel has beaten Amity Alarcos in the women's singles to progress to the last 16 of the competition. She will face Australia's Jess Turnbull tomorrow.

Scotland's Georgia Adderley will also be in the last 16 against New Zealand's Joelle King.

England's Will Perret has cruised through his heat in the men's individual pursuit. He's at the top of the table with a time of 14.393.

Elsewhere at the velodrome Sophie Capewell has won her quarter-final individual sprint race in a very tight finish against Canada's Sarah Orban. The English rider got over the line first by just 0.011 seconds.
