10:47 BST:
We have a winner at last - New Zealand have beaten Australia 66-64 in a dramatic final to win the gold and retain their Commonwealth crown
10:37 BST: Incredible drama in the netball, the times up, but we keep going until someone wins by two clear points and it's 59-59

09:42 BST: England's medal tally may be complete, but that doesn't end our interest as we are currently level on 37 golds with India, but they still have Saina Nehwal to play in the badminton women singles - if Nehwal wins India pip England to second in the medals table - no pressure then
