It could also prove to be another fruitful day for the track cyclists.

Nine-time Paralympic gold medallist Sophie Pascoe is among those in action in the pool on Saturday.

She'll be looking to defend her 200m individual medley Commonwealth Games title.

Glasgow gold medallist Richie Patterson will also be aiming to go back to back when he lines up for the 85kg weightlifting event.

The new mixed team relay event gives our triathletes a second chance after coming away empty handed in the men's and women's individual events.

And there's more opportunities for New Zealand's track cyclists to add to their six medals with more finals tonight.

The lawn bowls quarterfinals will take place today, as well as the squash quarterfinals in the evening.
