All you need to know about day three of the Commonwealth Games.

Back on track

New Zealand lead the way at the velodrome in London with the New Zealand anthem ringing out three times overnight. Day three is the penultimate day of action for track cycling and no surprise offers more medal chances for the Kiwis.

Bryony Botha eyes a third medal in the women's points race at 2.53am alongside pursuit teammate Michaela Drummond. That is followed by the women's 500m time trial at 3.32am where BMX turned track cycling rider Rebecca Petch eyes another medal. Callum Saunders, Sam Dakin and defending champion Sam Webster will race in the men's sprint at 4.42am with the last medal chance on day three in London coming in the men's 15km Scratch Race at 5.42am featuring Campbell Stewart (silver in 2018), George Jackson and Tom Sexton.

And in the water

You can see a theme in the first few days for New Zealand - medals in track cycling and swimming. Olympic champion Tupou Neiufi is New Zealand's best chance on day three as she lines up in the 100m Backstroke S8 final at 6.35am. Jesse Reynolds could win a second medal shortly after in the 100m Breaststroke SB8 final.

Newly crowned 400 IM champion Lewis Clareburt will be gunning for the 200m butterfly final at 6.28am. He finished seventh in the event four years ago and races in the same heat as South African great Chad le Clos (aiming for a fourth straight title in the event) at around 9.37pm.

Team relay chase

What is mixed team relay triathlon you ask? Athletes must complete a super-sprint triathlon - 300m swim, 6.6km bike and 1km run - before tagging off to a teammate, always in the order female-male-female-male. The race starts at 1.31am with Hayden Wilde, Andrea Hansen, Tayler Reid and Nicole van der Kaay making up the New Zealand team. England will feature Alex Yee and Georgia Taylor-Brown who were part of the Great Britain team that won the Olympic title last year. New Zealand finished 12th in Tokyo are Australia was ninth.

Bronze it is

The Black Ferns Sevens won't defend their title after going down to Australia in the semifinals this morning. They should beat Canada for the bronze medal at 7.50am before Fiji and Australia play off for gold. The All Blacks Sevens could guarantee a medal if they get past rivals Fiji in the semifinal at 11.42pm. Win that and it's another gold medal match at 9.04am.
