Key events

Netball from 11am

If the Silver Ferns want to prove they a worthy of another Commonwealth Games medal then a victory over England in their final pool match would go a long way. Following their shock defeat to Malawi, New Zealand need a win to secure a spot in the semifinals. That however means they will likely face Australia in the semifinals. The hosts face Jamaica in the final group game at 11pm, 12 hours after the SIlver Ferns v England clash.

Boxing from 2.17pm

Kiwi boxer Tamsyn Benny is already guranteed a bronze medal having reached the semifinals of the 45-48kg event. She faces Northern Ireland's Kristina O'Hara for a spot in the final and a shot at the gold medal. There are two more boxers in quarter-final action with Troy Garton looking to secure at least a bronze with quarter-final victory against Botswana's Aratwa Kasemang. While Ryan Scaife faces Seyu Ntsengue (Cameroon) in the men's 75kg quarter-finals.

Hockey from 6.30pm

The Black Sticks men's side look face a big task against hosts and defending Commonwealth Games champions Australia. Both sides go into the game with three wins and a points difference of 13. A win would make New Zealand gold medal favourites.

Athletics from 11.06pm

It will be a bit of a wait to see the one Kiwi in action on the track with Joseph Millar competing in the men's 200m semifinal heats. There will be medals handed out in the women's javelin, men's high jump, men's long jump, men's F38 shot put, the women's 3000m steeplechase, women's T35 100m and the women's 400m.

Beach Volleyball, from 7pm

Brothers Ben and Sam O'Dea can book a spot in the gold medal match with a victory over Canadian duo Samuel Pedlow and Sam Schachter. The Canadians haven't dropped a set at all on the Gold Coast.
