11:55 pm  |   Good night!

It has been a breathless day of enthralling sporting action in Birmingham. From a Ugandan perspective, it is a good day at the office: a historic fifth place in netball and another medal in the bag courtesy of Peruth Chemutai's valiant race in the women's 3,000m steeplechase final after falling very badly towards the end. (Wishing you quick recovery, Peruth).

It's a wrap here for today. Will be back on Saturday. Good night.

11:53 pm  |   Uganda's Chemutai takes 3,000mSC bronze 🇺🇬

Uganda's Peruth Chemutai settles for bronze in the women's 3,000m steeplechase.

In the closing stages of the race, the Ugandan Olympic champion fell awfully when she failed to negotiate a hurdle. Still in second, she picked herself up - albeit in evident agony - and trudged on, with Kenyan Chepkoech disappearing into the distance.

Buoyed by the home crowd, England's Elizabeth Bird - behind in third - seized the moment and closed in on Chemutai, before overtaking the Uganda into the final bend and racing to silver in a time of 9:17.79.

Chemutai crossed the line third in 9:23.24 to take bronze. Chepkoech's winning time of 9:15.68 is a new Games's record.

11:47 pm 

The Ugandan and Kenyan - the only East Africans in this women's 3,000m steeplechase final - have maintained their huge lead through the first kilometre of this seven-and-a-half-lap contest of hurdles.

Pemutai looks steady! But right on her shoulders is Kenyan Chepkoech.

11:42 pm 

The women's 3,000m steeplechase final is under way - and bang on scheduled time! Ugandan Peruth Chemutai is in the mix, and she and Kenyan Jackline Chepkoech have almost immediately peeled away from the rest of the six runners.

8:32 pm  |   UGANDA BEAT SOUTH AFRICA TO 5TH PLACE 🇺🇬

In netball, after a strong start from Africa's top-ranked side in the world, South Africa allowed the Ugandans to claw back into the game, which saw the opening quarter end 15-13 in favour of the She Cranes.

Uganda produced an even better performance in the second quarter, which ended with them leading 15-8 against a team that beat them to the fifth place on the Gold Coast in 2018.

South Africa returned from the break stronger and determined to reduce their huge deficit - and they did, taking the third quarter 16-11 to set up a thrilling final quarter that started after Uganda's nine-goal lead had been cut to four.

But Uganda regrouped and held their nerve to see out a famous victory, thanks to a 13-11 performance in the final quarter. With fifth place secure, the 54-48 victory for Uganda means they end as Africa's best side at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

Earlier, Malawi beat Wales 62-56 in the seventh-place playoff to ensure that all the three African teams that have taken part in Birmingham - Uganda, South Africa and Malawi - have ended the Games in the top seven of the 12 participating nations.

Out in the open - at the Alexander Stadium - the men's decathlon pole vault has been one of the events that has drawn plenty of attention today.

Grenada's Kurt Felix vaults himself into the air.

Australia's Alex Diamond launches himself into the air.

And he liked that he managed to get over the bar.

England's Harry Kendall is also successful.

And he expresses his delight in front of a large home crowd.

The same cannot be said about Bahamas' Kendrick Thompson, who picks about an injury while pole vaulting.

10:33 am   |   Uganda's Chemutai chases 3,000m SC glory  🇺🇬

Ugandans know there is a good opportunity to add to their medal collection when Peruth Chemutai races tonight in the women's 3,000m steeplechase final at 11:42pm.

None of the 2018 Commonwealth Games medallists - Jamaican Aisha Praught-Leer and Kenyan pair Celliphine Chespol and Purity Cherotich Kirui - is  featuring in tonight's eight-strong race.

The only other East African involved will be Kenyan Jackline Chepkoech. After a disappointing show at the Worlds in Oregon, Olympic champion Chemutai will definitely be eager for redemption.

Her season's best time is 9:05.54 and all-time best is 9:01.45.  The Games record is 9:19.51, set by her compatriot Dorcus Inzikuru in Melbourne, Australia. Could we see this record fall tonight and a new one set by another Ugandan? Set your alarm.
____________________

10:30 am   |   Loads of running today

Friday's athletics action at the Alexander Stadium gets under way at 12:15pm with the men's decathlon 110m hurdles.

The hurdles will not be taken off the blue track because the three heats of the women's 100m hurdles will follow on the programme. 

Somewhere in-between there, the men's decathlon discus throw will also start on the field, as another set of women prepare to get on the track for two heats of the women's 1,500 first round - which is techincally the semi-finals. Uganda's Winnie Nanyondo will race in the second heat at 1:26pm.

Fresh from the Worlds in Oregon, 28-year-old Nanyondo knows that she will have to cross the finish line among the first five in her heat to advance automatically to the final - or, if not, be among the next two fastest.

The Ugandan has the second-fastest time of the season (4:00.25) in her heat, behind Australia's Jessica Hull (3:59.31) - and her all-time best time is 3:59.56. Therefore, she will fancy her chances of being in the final.

Meanwhile, the men's 4x400m relay heats will happen concurrently with the two groups of the women's long jump qualifying round. The men's decathlon pole vault will then wrap up the first athletics session of the day.

The evening session will be jam-packed and will feature five medal events - the men's shot put final, men's T53/54 1,500m final, women's triple jump final, men's decathlon 1,500m and the women's 3,000m steeplechase final.

If sprinting is your kind of thing, be sure to also look out for the men's and women's 200m and 400m semi-finals.

10:20 am   |   Uganda eye 5th place in netball  🇺🇬

In netball, Uganda will face a familiar foe when they battle South Africa in the fifth-place playoff this evening at 7pm. Both teams finished third on six points in their respective groups - Uganda in Group B and South Africa in Group A.

Theirs is a repeat of the 2018 fifth-place showdown at the Gold Coast in Australia, which saw Africa's top-ranked side South Africa emerge winners (53-42). Uganda had to settle for sixth place. Can they turn it around this time?

To secure the third spot in Group B in Birmingham, the She Cranes had to overcome an equally solid Malawi side on Thursday in an entertaining contest that kept the crowds inside the bubbly NEC Arena in full vocal backing of their teams all the way to the last piece of action of the game.

Uganda led 14-11 in the first quarter, then 14-13 in the second quarter. They followed that up with a dominant third quarter, taking it 13-9, before ultimately winning the contest 56-43 to secure third place and at the same time set themselves up for a fifth-place playoff.

Saturday will feature the same semi-finallists from 2018, but only in a different order.

Group A leaders Jamaica, who were the bronze medallists at the Gold Coast, will play New Zealand at 11am, before defending champions and Group B leaders England battle Australia, who took silver in 2018 at 4:30pm.

The medal matches will be played on Sunday - the bronze medal one at 3:30pm and then the big one at 10pm. The identities of the participating teams for the final day of netball will have been known by the end of Saturday.

🥊  Last night (Thursday) in boxing, Uganda's Owen Isaac Kibira was beaten 0-5 by Zambia's Stephen Zimba in the welterweight (over 63.5kg-67kg) quarter-final 4, which effectively ended his quest for a medal.

Earlier on Wednesday, Ugandan Teddy Nakimuli secured a medal after Sierra Leone's Sara Haghighat-Joo withdrew from their light flyweight (over 48kg-50kg) quarter-final fight.

Nakimuli will be back in the ring on Saturday for a semi-final bout with Northern Ireland's Carly McNaul at 4:30pm. The winner here will move on to the gold-medal fight.
