Hamish Bond is one of New Zealand's great Olympians having won two golds he's never claimed a Commonwealth Games medal due to the simple fact rowing is not part of the Games. But he has a chance to win one on his bike in today's individual time trial. Bond began road cycling post Rio Olympics and took out the New Zealand time trial national title earlier in the year making him one the favourites to earn a medal on the Gold Coast.

In the women's event, defending champion Linda Villumsen is also expected to stand on the dias. She's aiming to claim a medal at three straight Commonwealth Games following a silver in Delhi followed by gold four years ago in Glasgow.

Hockey, from 1.30pm

The New Zealand men's side look to retain their unbeaten run in pool play when they face Scotland. The Scots go into the clash as underdogs having already lost to South Africa, Canada and Australia. It's expected to be another fairly easy win for the Black Sticks ahead of their crucial final pool match against the Aussies.

Boxing, from 2.20pm

Four Kiwi boxers are in quarter-finals today with victories guaranteeing at least bronze medals. Alexis Prichard is first up in the women's 57kg event where she enters the ring against Keshani Hansika of Sri Lanka. She's followed by Glasgow gold medallist David Nyika who faces Christian Ndzie Tsoye of Cameroon in their men's 91kg quarter-final. Men's 69kg fighter Leroy Hindley takes on Aidan Walsh of Northern Ireland followed by Patrick Mailata who is up against Northern Irishman Stephen McMonagle in the +91kg quarters.
