It has been a busy day for Team Wales with the first gold medal for gymnast Ruby Evans, a silver for swimmer Matt Richards and a bronze for the Para-mixed bowls pair Steffan James and Julie Thomas.

Here's what else you might have missed on day five.

Bowls

It was the turn of men's pairs Daniel Salmon and Ross Owen and Amy Williams in the women's singles to begin their campaigns.

Team Wales baton bearer Salmon has yet to play a fixture but began alongside Owen with a straightforward victory over Niue.

Williams shrugged off the disappointment of missing out on pairs bronze this morning with a 2-0 win over India's Nayanmoni Saikia.

Weightlifting

Haverfordwest pair Charlotte Whalley and Chloe Hood competed in their respective weightlifting finals.

Whalley finished eighth in the women's 68kg, setting a total of 186kg, while Hood was ninth in the women's 69kg event with 190kg.

3x3 wheelchair basketball

It was the end of the road for both the men's and women's 3x3 wheelchair basketball teams as they both lost their 'play in' matches.

Both sides had to play a qualifier ahead of a potential semi-final tomorrow.

The men's side lost 21-6 to Australia and then the women fell to Canada, 21-3.

Newport County suffered a 4-0 pre-season defeat by League One Reading at Rodney Parade.

Interim Exiles boss Chris Todd gave starts to five summer signings and teenager Harri Pugh on the right wing but it was one of the Royals' new recruits that opened the scoring.

Former Portsmouth forward Jacob Brown slotted home calmly from the edge of the area after 10 minutes and Reading had further chances to extend the lead before the break.

They doubled their advantage early in the second half when Josh Stokes finished a neat move after the visitors capitalised on Yahya Bamba's misplaced pass.

Jerae Jones added two more goals in a dominant performance by the Royals, who finish their pre-season against Crawley and Charlton.

Rodney Parade was sparsely populated for the visit of Reading but should be packed to the rafters on Tuesday, 4 August as Newport host Italian giants Roma.

The Exiles play their first competitive game at AFC Wimbledon in the Carabao Cup on Saturday, 8 August (15:00 BST) and then host Rochdale on Saturday, 15 August (12:30 BST) in their League Two opener.

Welsh sprinter Jeremiah Azu missed out on a Commonwealth medal for the second games in a row after finishing fifth in the men's 100m final

It was the same position he managed in Birmingham four years ago.

The Welshman had eased through the heats and ran 10.00 seconds in his semi-final but could only manage 10.03 seconds in a rain-affected final won by Cameroon's Emmanuel Eseme.

"I don't feel like I really made any mistakes so it's a hard one to take. These guys are just running crazy fast," he said.

"I felt like I put a good race together. I thought it would be won in 9.9-low which I think I'm capable of, I just didn't put it together today.

"But to represent Wales is always a pleasure, always an honour."

Team Wales swimmer Matt Richards claimed his first Commonwealth Games individual medal after winning silver in the 100m freestyle final.

It was his third medal in Glasgow after earlier claiming two bronze relay medals.

Flynn Southam won gold and his fellow Australian Kyle Chalmers earned bronze.

"I'm over the moon," said Richards.

"Anytime you're stood on the podium, it's always going to be special but every time it's for Wales, it just makes it that little bit more."

It was a fifth medal for Wales in the pool, while Olympic champion Richards will compete in the 200m freestyle on the final day of action on Wednesday.

"I've been fortunate this week to be able to stand on the podium three times, which has been incredible," said Richards.

"I'm also aware two of those are bronze, one's a silver, and I've not yet got the one colour I'm looking for and I'll be looking to put that right."

Richards' medal was Wales' 10th official medal of the Games with the three silvers and six bronze bettered by the gold achieved by gymnast Ruby Evans earlier today.

There will definitely be an 11th medal after boxer Connor Williams reached the semi-finals.

Para-swimmer Ela Letton-Jones, who won Wales' first medal when she claimed silver in the 100m, finished sixth fastest in the women's 50m freestyle S13 finals.

Theodora Taylor, 17, qualified sixth fastest for the 50m freestyle final on Wednesday but Meghan Higgs missed out.

Jack Knight bowed out of the men’s 100m backstroke semi-finals, while Alexandra Bastone placed 10th in the 800m freestyle.

There was drama in the men's 50m butterfly semi-final when Wales' Lewis Fraser and Nigeria's Abduljabar Adama qualified joint fastest eighth.

Fraser had posted a personal best and Welsh record in the semi-final.

This meant a very rare swim-off was organised at 22:10 BST for a place in Wednesday's final which Adama won.

Welsh sprinter Jeremiah Azu has made it through to tonight's 100m final in Glasgow (21:14 BST).

Azu, who finished fifth in the final in Birmingham four years ago, finished second in his semi-final in a time of 10.00 seconds.

It was a season's best for the 25-year-old and just 0.03 seconds off his personal best.

His time was equal fourth best from the three semi-finals.

Wales secured their first netball win at the Commonwealth Games with a polished display against Trinidad & Tobago.

Georgia Rowe scored 32 goals and Nansi Kuti 23 in the 74-30 victory in Pool B, which followed disappointing defeats to Scotland and Uganda.

Wales dominated the first two quarters to put the result beyond doubt, leading 43-19 at half-time against a side who had already conceded 238 goals in their first three games.

That allowed coach Emily Handyside to make significant changes throughout the match, with 19-year-old wing attack Lowri Windsor making her debut.

Wales' remaining games are against the two strongest sides in Pool B, New Zealand on Wednesday and Jamaica on Thursday.

Charlotte Whalley finished eighth in the 63kg weightlifting competition.

Whalley was a late addition to Team Wales after receiving a reallocated qualification spot.

She combined for 186kg after an 82kg snatch and a personal best of 104kg in the clean and jerk.

Canada's Maude Charron took gold with a Commonwealth Games record score of 232kg.

Both her 102kg snatch and 130kg clean and jerk were Games records, with England's Sarah Davies Smale claiming silver with 217kg.

Heavyweight Connor Williams has guaranteed himself at least a bronze medal after winning his quarter-final bout against Niue's Duken Holo Tutakitoa-Williams by split decision.

Four out of five judges scored the cagey fight in the Swansea boxer's favour as team-mates Rosie Eccles and Owain Harris-Allan cheered on from the stands.

"I'm very happy with a bronze medal," Williams said.

"Anything less, I'd be disappointed but I'm not done yet, I'm gunning for that gold medal.

"I've had two good wins now. I'm building a lot of momentum, I feel like I'm destined for this."

Earlier in the session Helen Jones lost her women's 54kg quarter-final against England's Lauren Mackie by unanimous decision.

Wales will have Harris-Allan, Eccles, Orlando Holley-Sotomi, Niamh Brookes and Daniel Pitt are in quarter-final bouts on Wednesday.

Welsh gymnast Ruby Evans finished seventh in the balance beam final that was won by Australia's Breanna Scott.

Evans pulled out of Monday's uneven bars final as identical twins Abigail and Emily Roper created a bit of history by both winning bronze on the vault and uneven bars respectively within a couple of hours of each other.

Wales women had also finished fourth in the team event.

Also today, Elliot Vernon finished seventh in the parallel bars final at 14:50 BST and Alexander Niscoveanu was the same position in the horizontal bar final.

Para-swimmer Ela Letton-Jones began her campaign for a second Commonwealth Games medal by qualifying fifth fastest for tonight's women's 50m freestyle S13 heat.

Letton-Jones, who won Wales first medal at the Commonwealth Games when she claimed silver in the 100m, will go in the final at 19:32 BST in Glasgow.

This will be just after Matt Richards aims for his first Commonwealth Games individual medal in the men's 100m freestyle final at 19:18 BST.

Lewis Fraser (50m butterfly), Meghan Higgs and Theodora Taylor (women's 50m freestyle heats) and Jack Knight (men's 100m backstroke) qualified for semi-finals.
