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

Last chance on the track

It's the final day at the London velodrome where New Zealand Olympic silver medalist Ellesse Andrews will eye a third gold at the Commonwealth Games in the women's Keirin final at 4.22am. She should go in as the favourite based on her form in Tokyo and in the last few days. Teammates Olivia King and Rebecca Petch will also be in with a chance.

Aaron Gate, Campbell Stewart and Corbin Strong are set to line up in the men's 40km Points Race final at 4.42am.

In other finals, Nick Kergozou De La Boessiere and Sam Webster compete in the men's 1km time trial at 2.32amand at 4.07am is the women's 10km Scratch Race final where Bryony Botha could win a third medal along with pursuits teammates Emily Shearman and Michaela Drummond.

Going swimmingly

It's been a successful meet for New Zealand at the pool with five medals already.

Andrew Jeffcoat looks a real chance to add to that after qualifying second fastest for the 50m backstroke final at 7.37am. Helena Gasson will line up in the women's 50m butterfly final at 7.43am after producing the sixth best time in the semis. Meanwhile Lewis Clareburt gets a well-earned break as he prepares for the 200 IM heats starting on day five.

Eyes on gold match

The women's 3x3 team topped their group after winning all three games, which earned them a spot straight into the semifinals. They learn their opponent after the quarter-final match-ups and will square off at 9.03am, with the winner earning a spot in the gold medal match. The men play a quarter-final against Canada at 2.03am to keep their tournament hopes alive.

All going well

In other knockout matches: squash champions Joelle King (11pm) and Paul Coll (11.45pm) have singles quarter-final games tonight while at the lawn bowls the women's fours square off against India in a semifinal at 8.30pm.

In team contests, the Silver Ferns play Malawi in a crucial pool game at 7am, which should be their first test of the Games; and in the men's hockey the Black Sticks are up against it when they play defending champions Australia at 8am.
