All you need to know about day two of the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.

Key events

Track cycling, from 3pm

After three medals, one gold and two silver, on day one it's all eyes on the velodrome and whether New Zealand can add to that number. Natasha Hansen, Olivia Podmore and Emma Cumming will line up in the sprint qualifying. Hansen is tipped as a medal chance in the event. While the men's keirin could also produce a medal or three with Eddie Dawkins, Sam Webster and Bradly Knipe competing.

Swimming, from 9.37pm

Having two Kiwis in the same swimming final is rare but it will happen later today with Daniel Hunter and Sam Perry both competing in the men's butterfly 50m final. Corey Main will also race for gold in the men's 100m backstroke final after qualifying in seventh place.

Netball, Silver Ferns v Wales, 3.02pm

The Silver Ferns weren't that impressive in their opening win over Uganda yesterday. They have a quick turn around today to face Wales who will be playing their first game of the tournament. A chance for the Silver Ferns to make a statement.

Hockey, Black Sticks men v Canada, 1.32pm and Black Sticks women v Ghana, 6.32pm

Two games of hockey for New Zealand fans today with both the men and women in action. The women's side eased to a 6-1 victory over Scotland yesterday and shouldn't have a problem against the African side who are ranked 30th in the world. The men face Canada, a side much closer to them in the rankings. Canada sit 11th in the world, two spots behind New Zealand.

Basketball, Tall Blacks v Nigeria, 10pm
Paul Henare's men will be solid favourites to start their campaign with a win. Nigeria will be heavily relying on Ike Diogu, who played more than 200 games in the NBA.
