Clare Balding introduces more boxing and diving action from Delhi, including:
11.45am Middleweight Final
12.15pm Heavyweight Final
Some of the world's best amateur boxers are hoping to make a name for themselves on this big international stage. A formidable list of Commonwealth competitors have gone on to become professional world champions, including John Conteh, Barry McGuigan, Lennox Lewis, Richie Woodhall and Wayne McCullough. Commentary comes from Jim Neilly and Richie Woodhall.
At 12.30pm, it's the Men's 10m Platform Final.
The last diving competition of these Commonwealth Games is arguably the most eagerly awaited, with English teenager Tom Daley going for gold. Even though he is still only 16, Daley is experienced in international competition and scored his greatest triumph at last year's World Aquatics Championships in Rome when he won gold.
England's Pete Waterfield, who won gold in this event in Manchester in 2002 and silver four years later, should also be in the mix. But stiff opposition should come in the shape of Australia's Olympic champion Matthew Mitcham and Canada's Alexandre Despatie, who won Commonwealth gold as a 13-year-old in 1998. The commentators are Bob Ballard and Leon Taylor.
There is also a round-up of other decisive action involving competitors from the home countries.
Commonwealth Games 2010 is simulcast on the BBC HD channel – the BBC's High Definition channel, available through Freesat 108, Freeview 50, Sky 143 and Virgin 108. Digital viewers can access more live coverage of events via BBCi on the red button and broadband.

2.30pm Flyweight Final
2.45pm Lightweight Final
3.15pm Welterweight Final
3.45pm Light-Heavyweight Final

The boxing concludes with an afternoon of breathless action featuring five finals, including the prestigious super-heavyweight final which was won by a young Lennox Lewis in 1986. England topped the boxing medals table at Melbourne 2006 and the prospects for all the home nations look encouraging in Delhi. Commentary comes from Jim Neilly and Richie Woodhall.
There is also action from the badminton bronze medal matches and bowls singles finals.

Waterloo Road Ep 8/20
Personal troubles spill over into the corridors of Waterloo Road as the popular drama set in a secondary school continues. Vicki's home life continues to spiral dangerously out of control, Grantly's stubbornness compromises his ability as a teacher and Janeece begins to wonder if she's made the right decision about her baby.
Now living in a hostel, Vicki is struggling to balance her schoolwork with visiting her critically ill dad in hospital. Following another poor exam result, a concerned Chris confronts Vicki, but she won't reveal the true extent of her dire situation and threatens Chris with blackmail if her grades are not changed. Finally, they strike a deal that helps Vicki but leaves Chris's career hanging in the balance.
Meanwhile, Grantly struggles to cope with his wife's Alzheimer's, a matter that becomes worse when he returns home to an unexpected welcome. Despite his desperation, an ever loyal Grantly promises Fleur that he won't put her in a care home and continues to shrug off Ruby's growing concern.
And Ruby herself faces a dilemma as Janeece wants to spend more time with the baby and seems increasingly uncertain about her decision to give it away. A worried Tom questions whether Janeece is being taken advantage of, leading Ruby and John to realise that they must have the adoption legally recognised as soon as possible.
Vicki Macdonald is played by Rebecca Ryan, Grantly Budgen by Phillip Martin Brown, Janeece Bryant by Chelsee Healey, Chris Mead by William Ash, Fleur Budgen by Lorraine Cheshire, Ruby Fry by Elizabeth Berrington, Tom by Jason Done and John Fry by Ralph Ineson.

Hazel Irvine presents cycling highlights of the early morning women's time trial, followed by live coverage of the finish of the men's time trial.
England's women's time trial team included Olympic silver medallist Emma Pooley, while Olympic road race champion Nicole Cooke lined up in Welsh colours.
Australia won all four road race gold medals at the 2006 Commonwealth Games but neither Nathan O'Neill nor Ben Day, who won gold and silver in the road race in Melbourne four years ago, will be in Delhi. Among the men's time trial medal hopefuls are Geraint Thomas, who memorably won track cycling gold in the men's team pursuit at the Beijing Olympics. Commentary comes from Hugh Porter and Chris Boardman.
There are also highlights of the women's hockey medal matches. Hosts India won gold in the women's tournament in 2002 and silver four years ago in Melbourne and expectations were high for more success at the start of the tournament. England, after their tremendous recent showing at the World Cup in Argentina, will also be hoping to feature prominently today.
There are also highlights from the boxing finals, including:
10.30am Light-Flyweight Final
10.45am Bantamweight Final
11.15am Light-Welterweight Final
The first boxing gold medals of these Games are decided at the Talkatora Indoor Stadium. Hopes of a medal for the home nations are high; Great Britain's boxers won three silver and two bronze medals at the European Championships in Moscow this summer, their best showing since 1961. The commentators are Jim Neilly and Richie Woodhall.

Wonderland – Boy Cheerleaders
Observational documentary series Wonderland returns to the small screen, seeking out the people and places that offer a glimpse of today's Britain that is usually hidden from view.
Nine-year-old Harvey is a budding Billy Elliot in the most unlikely of surroundings. On a South Leeds estate, in the heart of rugby league territory, Harvey is a member of the UK's first all-boy cheerleading squad. Cheerleading For Boys follows the DAZL Diamonds, as they are known, preparing for a competition that could change their lives for ever.
Their coach, Ian, sees the National Cheerleading Championships as a great challenge for the young team: "They're going to do a predominantly female sport, so I suppose they've got to get some balls, haven't they?"
It's not plain sailing for the boys. Twelve-year-old Joe admits: "They used to call me 'camp' and 'puff' and all that. But then, when I'm on the rugby pitch, they go: 'Oh ... you're well rough!'" And, with many of the boys being brought up by single mothers, life is far from a fairytale.
As films such as Billy Elliot and TV shows like Glee make performing all the rage, life in the spotlight has never seemed so attractive. But, as competition day approaches, how will the boys cope with the gruelling practice sessions and the pressures of performance on top of the challenges of their day-to-day life? From the streets of South Leeds to the glittering lights of the national finals, the film accompanies these boys and their families on what could be the journey of a lifetime.

A HISTORY OF THE WORLD
Towton – 1461 Ep 1/8
As part of pan-BBC project A History Of The World, BBC Four broadcasts a series of eight documentaries, each made by a different BBC English Region.
Each of the programmes looks at a significant turning point in that region's history and shows how the change continues to resonate through objects or the landscape.
In the first programme, Towton – 1461, Horrible Histories author Terry Deary shows how the Battle of Towton changed the course of the War of the Roses – and led to more deaths on British soil than any other battle in British history.
