Olympic gymnast Ruby Evans could take centre stage for Wales on day three of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

Evans was part of the Wales team that just missed out on a medal on Saturday night.

It is the men's and women's individual all-round finals with Evans and Emily Roper in the women's event this evening, after Elliot Vernon and Alexander Niscoveanu have competed in the afternoon.

Olympic champion Matt Richards will be hoping to add to the first Commonwealth Games medal he won on Saturday night as part of the 4x100m mixed freestyle team, when he goes in the 4x200m freestyle relay.

Lewis Fraser will compete in the men's 100m butterfly final, while other swimmers competing include Meghan Higgs, Theodora Taylor, Sophie Davies, Kyle Booth, Josh Inglis and Meghan Willis.

Wales netball play their second game against Scotland in the morning session, while Nikole Roberts kicks off the weightlifting campaign in the women's 48kg category.

There are two Welsh boxers in last 16 action with Welsh bantamweight Helen Jones facing Kadijat Ajishola, while heavyweight Connor Williams lining up against Namibia's Petrus Jacobus Kotze.

The bowls programme continues with Ross Owen in men's singles action against Scotland's Jason Banks, while the women's pairs Amy Williams and Lauren Cowan face Kenya.

Para-mixed bowls pair Julie Thomas and Steffan James, aided by directors John Wilson and James Jones, will play Scotland in the evening session.

After a win each on Saturday, the 3x3 wheelchair basketball sides are back in action on Sunday with the men playing South Africa and the women facing Nigeria.
