1:01am - And that's it! New Zealand have secured the women's four bronze at the bowls, with Val Smith drawing shot on the penultimate end to put the margin beyond 10.
That's our first bowls medal at Birmingham, with another bronze playoff tomorrow for Graham Skellern and Mark Noble in the para men's pairs against England.
That's the end of our coverage of this evening session of the Birmingham Games, but join us again at 5am Wednesday, as our women 3X3 basketballers also play for bronze, and para swimmers Jesse Reynolds and Josh Willmer try to build on their success.
12:54am - New Zealand take another shot on the 13th end to lead 16-6 and only two ends remaining...
12:43am - Wow, that's a three on the 12th end, New Zealand now ahead 15-6 and have one hand on the women's four bronze medal at the bowls.
12:33am - The Kiwi women add another two shots to their lead over Fiji, which now stands at 12-6 after 11 ends. It's a long way back from there for the Fijians.
12:23am - New Zealand take another two shots from the 10th end and may just have taken control of their fours bronze-medal match against Fiji, leading 10-6.
While all our attention is on the women's four, Shannon McIlroy has opened his single account with a 21-8 victory his Indian opponent.
12:20am - New Zealand add another shot and lead Fiji 8-6 after nine ends of a 15-end match at the bowls.
12:11am - Fiji take two shots from the eighth end, but the NZ women's four still lead 7-6 in their quest for a bowls bronze.
12:04am - Bell has put himself into the finals reckoning with a 59.47m throw on his last attempt. That would make him the sixth longest qualifier for the 12-man final so far, so a great response to the pressure.
11:55pm - Bell throws 53.65m with his second throw, so he is well below his best today. He'll need something closer to 60 metres with his last attempt, but so far, no-one has achieved the 65m automatic mark.
The Kiwi four have added another shot to their lead over Fiji, now 7-4 up after seven ends.
11:47pm - The Kiwi four add another shot to their advantage in the sixth end, now leading Fiji 6-4.
Bell is out to 53.77m with his first discus throw, well below what he'll need to reach the final.
11:35pm - The Kiwi four have swept into the lead with four shots on the fifth end, now ahead of Fiji 5-4 in their quest for a bronze medal at the bowls.
Connor Bell about to begin his discus qualifying competition.
11:29pm - The Kiwi four are on the board with a single on the fourth end against Fiji, now trailling 4-1 in their bronze-medal playoff.
11:13pm - Top three in each heat and next three fastest will progress to semi-finals of the women's 100, and Hobbs has drawn a tough heat, including Nigeria's Grace Nwokocha with 10.97s.
There's a break and it looked like Makenji of Tanzania, so she has been disqualifed.
Hobbs cruises through in second, behind Nwokocha, who clocks 10.99s. The Kiwi returns 11.09s, which equals her national and Oceania record.
Fiji are now 4-0 ahead of the Kiwi four after three ends at the bowls.
11:08pm - Fiji grab another shot on the second end and lead the Kiwi four 2-0 early.
Zoe Hobbs about to front up for the 100m heats at the track...
10:59pm - Fiji grab the initiative with a shot on the first end to lead New Zealand in the women's four bronze-medal match.
10:45pm - The NZ women's four have begun their bronze-medal playoff against Fiji at the bowls, still reeling from their dramatic semi-final loss to India last night.
10:32pm - Men's discus qualifying about to start, with Kiwi Conor Bell in Group B. His personal beat of 64.29m would get him through to the final, but he hasn't thrown within three metres of that so far this year.
Bell's group will throw at 11:44pm, with automatic qualifying at 65 metres. At 21, he is the youngest athlete in the field.
10:16pm - Hazel Ouwehand finishes third in her 50m backstroke heat, the third of five. She clocks 29.05s, which should see her through to the semis.
In fact, she is the ninth fastest to progress.
At the judo, Elliott Connolly has been eliminated in the -81kg men's quarter-finals by his Canadian opponent.
10:10pm - Good news from the pool is that Gray has progressed to the 50m freestyle semis with the second-slowest time of the 16 moving forward.
Mitton throws 18.24m at the shot, and joins Thomas-Dodd and Wesche in the final.
10:05pm - Gray is on his blocks at the pool, but finishes fifth in 23.00s and probably won't progress to the semis with that.
Defending champion Danniel Thomas-Dodd has automatically qualified in the shot with 18.42m and Wesche joins her with 18.08m - a satisfactory night's work, but she'll need more in the final. Wesche beat the Jamaican at the recent world championships, but finished behind Canadian Sarah Mitton, who is throwing in the other group.
10:03pm - Women's shot put qualifying has begun, but Wesche is final thrower in Group B. Automatic qualifying is just 18 metres, so she may only need one throw.
9:55pm - Into 50m freestyle heats at the pool, with butterfly bronze medallist Cameron Gray in heat eight.
At the judo, Elliott Connolly has beaten Sri Lankan Pushpakumara in his -81kg round of 16 and progresses to the quarterfinals, where he'll meet Mohab Elnahas of Canada.
9:46pm - Athletics already underway, with Maddie Wesche in women's shot put qualifying and Zoe Hobbs in 100m heats.
9:44pm - The women's triple fall 15-11, but will now regroup (with Selina Goddard) for their fours bronze-medal playoff against Fiji in about an hour.
9:39pm - At the bowls, the NZ women's pair of Inch and Goddard have overcome India 18-9 in their competition opener, but the triple still trail 15-10 with time running out.
9:35pm - Jeffcoat enters this event with the seventh fastest time, which suggests he should make the final, but may struggle over this distance. He turns third after the first length...
Still third at halfway, but maybe fading behind Nataraj from India over the third length. Jeffcoat finishes fourth in 2m 03.57s and slower than three from the first heat, so he likely won't progress.
9:27pm - Andrew Jeffcoat is back in action at the pool, with 200m backstroke heats looming. He's in heat two of three...
9:23pm - And that's the ball game, with Australia beating the Black Sticks women 1-0 in pool play. Not a bad result, as long as the Kiwis can overcome winless South Africa in their final pool game.
9:19pm - Scramble in the Aussie goal, but their defenders keep the ball out.
9:13pm - Australia win a penalty corner, after a shot hits the body of a Black Sticks defender, but the ball sprays wide. After returning to full strength, the Aussies have drawn a green card, so another two minutes shorthanded.
The Kiwi women's pair are 13-9 up over India at the bowls, but the triple are 12-9 down.
9:06pm - The Aussies are down a player, after an NZ player is brought down in open field - this is a chance for the Black Sticks to level the score.
9:02pm - As the third quarter expires, Australia hit the post with a shot and still hold a 1-0 lead over the Black Sticks women.
8:56pm - Australia have had a couple of penalty corners in quick succession, but haven't been able to add to their 1-0 lead at the hockey.
At the bowls, India and NZ are locked at 9-9 in the women's pairs, while the Kiwi triple trail 10-8.
8:36pm - Halftime at the hockey, where the Aussie women lead NZ 1-0.
NZ pair are now 8-5 ahead of India at the bowls, while the triple have drawn level 6-6.
8:30pm - Australia take a hopeful shot from outside the circle, hoping to get a deflection, but it finds goal without that touch, so disallowed. AUS 1-0
Meanwhile, the Kiwi bowlers are clawing their way back into their respectively matches against India, with the women's pair of Inch and Goddard now leading 8-4 and the triple closing to 6-4.
8:21pm - Some bad news breaking from the cycling contingent, where mountain biker Anton Cooper has tested positive for COVID-19 and is out of tomorrow's cross-country event, which he won at Glasgow 2014 and finished second at Gold Coast four years ago.
8:14pm - The Kiwi pair have grabbed three shots on the fifth end to level 4-4 with India, but the triple trail the Indians 6-2.
8:09pm - A mistake in the NZ defence has gifted Australia their first penalty corner at the hockey and another error - Jopp blocking a shot with her feet - results in a penalty stroke that's converted, AUS 1-0
8:04pm - The Black Sticks have a penalty corner, but Merry's shot is deflected wide of goal.
8:01pm - NZ and Australia have just begun their hockey showdown, with the Aussies sweeping onto attack and missing an early chance.
Meanwhile, our women's pairs (4-1) and triples (5-1) have fallen further behind their Indian rivals at the bowls.
7:47pm - The women's pair of Inch and Goddard have fallen 2-1 behind India after two ends, while the triple trail 3-1 against the same nation.
Coming up soon are the Black Sticks women against old rivals Australia, whom they beat for hockey gold at Gold Coast four years ago...
7:29pm - Greetings, if you're joining us this evening, our scheduled begins with bowls, where the women's triples and pairs begin their competition, but the Kiwi women will have their minds on the fours bronze-medal playoff later tonight.
The pair of Katelyn Inch and Selina Goddard are up against India, while the triple of Val Smith, Tayla Bruce and Nicole Toomey face the same Indian players that put them out of fours gold-medal contention last night.
5:24pm - Welcome back to the evening session of the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, with New Zealand battling for a bronze medal in the bowls, the Black Sticks women facing a gold-medal rematch from four years ago against Australia, backstroker Andrew Jeffcoat back in the pool after his 50m gold and the first session of athletics.

*********
Kia ora, good morning and welcome to Newshub's live coverage of the Birmingham Commonwealth Games - day 5 in New Zealand, but still the evening of day 4 in England.
So far, New Zealand have performed superbly, with 19 medals, including 10 gold, with more in prospect over the next 24 hours.
This morning will see the last session of competition at Lee Valley VeloPark, which has proved a happy hunting ground for our track cyclists.
They have one last chance to add to their tally, with Ellesse Andrews seeking her third gold of the Games, when she contests the women's keirin - the event where she won silver at the Tokyo Olympics.
Aaron Gate will also chase his third gold medal in the men's 40km points race, which features a strong Kiwi contingent of Corbin Strong and Campbell Stewart, also winners at the velodrome this week.
In the pool, Andrew Jeffcoat is a royal medal chance in the 50m backstroke, after narrowly missing the podium over 100m. The Silver Ferns take on Malawi, who beat them for the first time at this tournament four years ago.
After topping their pool, the NZ women will contest the 3X3 semi-finals, while the men need to overcome Canada to win their way to the final four.
