    What a ride! And what a celebration!

    Australia's Matthew Richardson cruises to victory against Nicholas Paul by 0.642 seconds to win the gold.

    Richardson, 23, roars as he leans back and goes handsfree around the track, then bursts into tears as he hugs who we presume is his mum.

    Aaah. Heart-warming scenes.

    Double gold escapes Trinidad and Tobago's Paul, who won the keirin yesterday.

    Throaty roars of: "C'mon Jack" tried to spur Jack Carlin on.

    It was similar to the first race, except this time the Scot didn't quite have the gas at the finish as Matt Glaetzer of Australia held on.

    Boy, the decider is going to be tense.

    Scotland's Neil Fachie had to settle for silver after Wales' James Ball beat him in the men's tandem B sprint final.

    It was the 37-year-old's first defeat in a Commonwealth final after winning his fifth gold in Friday's 1,000m time trial.

    "It's great we qualified fastest and got away in the final. But warming up this afternoon my legs weren't there," Fachie told ´óÏó´«Ã½ Sport.

    "I didn't tell Lewis, because I hoped adrenaline would just come through and win the day. Lewis was phenomenal, he deserved a gold out there. Silver isn't bad. I thought we might nick it."

    On missing out on an outright Scottish record of a sixth Commonwealth gold, Fachie jokes: "Now I feel I have to come back in four years. I was hoping I could walk away!"

    Wales' James Ball earned his country their first Gold medal of the Games after winning the men's tandem B sprint final.

    "It’s incredible, I’ve waited a long time for this," the 30-year-old told ´óÏó´«Ã½ Sport.

    "Especially in the sprint as well, because everyone knows me and Neil [Fachie] have been going 1-2, so it’s nice to prove to myself if anything, that me and Matt could do it.

    "We were happy with just two silvers - the same as last result so not got any better, not got any worse - but to come away with a gold on top of that, I’m so happy."

    Earlier we told you Para-cyclist James Ball won Wales' first gold of the 2022 Games.

    Ball recorded victory in the tandem B sprint final with pilot Matt Rotherham.

    The Welshman beat Scotland's Neil Fachie, who - assisted by Lewis Stewart - was aiming for a Scottish record sixth Commonwealth Games gold

    The pair have battled it out regularly, with Fachie claiming his fifth Games gold ahead of Ball in the tandem B 1,000m time trial on Friday.

    Let's here what Ball had to say afterwards...

    Scotland women are in action in the 3X3 basketball and are currently losing to Kenya 14-11.

    Onto the gold-medal race then.

    It's Brit-turned Aussie Matthew Richardson against Trinidad and Tobago's Nicholas Paul, who is aiming for another gold after winning yesterday's keirin.

    Richardson was born in the Kent town of Maidstone before moving to Western Australia aged nine.

    Not sure if that's known by the Birmingham crowd but they certainly cheer loudly when the 23-year-old reaches the line first.

    Poor Kelsey Mitchell just waiting until the last rider!

    It looked like it was on but Kristina Clonan put in a final 50m, didn't drop the speed... and it was enough.

    Jack Carlin raises the roof at the Olympic velodrome!

    The Scot likes to put himself about on the track, and there were a few mind games there before he snuck into Matt Glaetzer's slipstream and came round to steal race one.

    Another one of those and he'll have a bronze medal...

    She was left "gutted" after missing out on bronze in the individual sprint yesterday, but a new day brings that spot on the podium for the 23-year-old.

    We've had two horrible crashes in two days at the velodrome.

    We'll update you when we can on today's involving Matt Walls, but in the meantime, it's good to see England's Joe Truman smiling after his crash yesterday in which he was knocked unconscious.
