Katarina Johnson-Thompson holds onto a slim lead as she tries to retain her Commonwealth Games heptathlon title.
The defending champion is 122 points ahead of England team-mate Jade O’Dowda after the long jump on Wednesday morning in Birmingham.
O’Dowda posted a leap of 6.52m to earn 1014 points compared to Johnson-Thompson’s best effort of 6.33m.
It means Johnson-Thompson maintains a slender advantage ahead of the javelin, one of her weaker events, and the final 800m on Wednesday evening.
The 29-year-old held an overnight lead of 109 points as she looks for a first major title since her World Championships victory in 2019.
Matt Hudson-Smith breezed through the first round of the 400m at the Alexander Stadium.
The Wolverhampton-born star won bronze at the World Championships in Eugene last month and won his heat in 46.26 seconds.
