08:30 - Cycling road race: Argyle Street and Buchanan Street will form the backdrop for parts of the men's and women's road races, which takes place on a 14km circuit starting at Glasgow Green.
Mark Cavendishhad been a leading contender for men's road race gold, but a crash on the opening day of the Tour de France ruled him out and that could create an opening for Scotland’s David Miller given that he finished close behind Cavendish in last year's British Championships, held on a similar Glasgow course. Despite Cavendish's absence, the Isle of Man will still have Peter Kennaugh in contention, while Team Sky's Geraint Thomaswill sport his Welsh colours.
England's Lizzie Armitsteadwill have riders such as Laura Trottriding in support of her in the women's race. Scotland's Claire Thomas, meanwhile, broke her hip in June when her bike slipped on spilled diesel, but is determined to reach the start line.
10:00 - Badminton: All five individual badminton events come to a close with the mixed doubles first, then the women's and men's singles and doubles.
There's an all-England clash in the mixed doubles, with Chris Langridge and Heather Oliver taking on married pairing Chris and Gabby Adcock.
Kirsty Gilmour will become the first Scot to contest a women's singles badminton final in the Commonwealth Games when she goes for gold against Canada's Michelle Li.
Malaysia contest both doubles finals, the women facing India, the men taking on Singapore.
Parupalli Kashyap attempts to claim India's first badminton gold in 32 years in the men's singles when he plays Singapore's Derek Wong.
12:30 - Hockey: The men's gold medal will be decided by the same two countries for the second Games in a row when Australia, who beat England 4-1 in the semi-final, face India, who made the final after coming from two goals down to beat New Zealand 3-2. The beaten semi-finalists contend for the bronze medal at 10:00.
12:30 - Netball: New Zealand face Australia in the final after beating England in the last second of an enthralling semi-final. The Kiwis claimed a 35-34 win to break English hearts and will take on their rivals from across the Tasman Sea in the final for the second consecutive Commonwealth Games. England take on Jamaica for the bronze medal in a match that starts at 10:00.

Highlights include:
10:00 - Powerlifting: The entire Para-sport event of powerlifting takes place on Saturday, with four gold medals available. A formula which multiplies a competitor's bench press by a figure representing their bodyweight is used to decide the champions. Natalie Blake and Ali Jawadwill compete for England, while Afghaistan war veteran Micky Yule - injured by an improvised explosive device while serving in 2010 - represents Scotland.
14:00 - Boxing: All 13 boxing titles are decided in two marathon Saturday sessions, including 10 men's events and - for the first time - three women's events. Only two of 10 finals went ahead without British participation in 2010 - resulting in gold medals for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - so expect some success here.
18:00 - Diving: Saturday's individual 10m platform contest is Tom Daley'ssignature event, and one he won at Delhi 2010 alongside the synchronised gold. Then, he was the world champion with a home Olympic dream ahead of him; now he is the Olympic bronze medallist pushing on to Rio 2016.
19:00 - Athletics: The final night of Commonwealth Games athletics includes the men's and women's 4x100m and 4x400m relays. England won the men's 4x100m gold in Delhi four years ago - Mark Lewis-Francis is the sole member of that team to reach Glasgow and he could be joined by Harry Aikines-Aryeetey and Richard Kilty, members of GB's bronze medal-winning team at this year's inaugural World Relays event.
Jamaica will start as favourites ahead of Trinidad and Tobago in the men's 4x100m. This is set to be Usain Bolt'snight at the Glasgow Games with England and Canada among those contesting the medals.
Also: Badminton (semi-finals and bronze medal play-offs), netball (semi-finals).

Daily Bulletin – Thursday 31 July
Coverage Highlights
- Eilidh Child and David Rudisha are set to star at Hampden Park as the Commonwealth's cyclists tackle the time trials
- Full Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games coverage across BBC TV, radio and online
Highlights include
10:00 - Cycling time trials: The Commonwealth's fastest road cyclists hit The time trial circuit - 40km for men, 30km for women - taking in Glasgow's East End as well as the countryside of East Dunbartonshire and North Lanarkshire.
In Sir Bradley Wiggins' absence, fellow Englishman Alex Dowsett will fancy his chances, having won silver in the event at Delhi 2010. Australia's strong road team includes national time trial champion Michael Hepburn, while defending Commonwealth champion David Millaris included in the Scotland line-up. Svein Tuft, a world silver medallist in 2006, was a late call-up to the Canadian team.
In the women's time trial, New Zealand's Linda Villumsen looks a strong prospect, having won silver in Delhi and medals at world level for each of the past five years, although time trial success depends on how the Glasgow course suits each individual rider. England's Emma Pooley, is one of the pre-race favourites while Scotland will be represented by rising talent Katie Archibald.
15:00 - Artistic gymnastics: Thursday sees the start of gymnastics individual apparatus finals, the day's highlight being the men's pommel horse featuring England's Louis Smith. The 25-year-old won Britain's first individual Olympic gymnastics medal in a century on the pommel horse at Beijing 2008, upgrading that bronze to silver at London 2012. Team-mate Max Whitlock, the world silver medallist, is likely to form his strongest rival, while Scotland's Dan Keatings has twice won the European pommel horse title. Australia's Prashanth Sellathurai, the Delhi Commonwealth champion and a finalist alongside Whitlock at last year's Worlds, has not been selected.
19:00 - Athletics: Eilidh Child will carry the hopes of the host nation in the 400 metres hurdles, while Olympic champion and world record holder David Rudisha is the man to beat in the 800m final.

Jamaica look set to dominate the men's 200m with Rasheed Dwyer and Warren Weir in fine form.
In the absence of Wales' Dai Greene, the 400m hurdles titles is likely to go to Trinidad & Tobago's world champion Jehue Gordon.

Daily Bulletin – Wednesday 30 July
Coverage Highlights
- Hockey hots up and Delhi divers defend their titles
- Full Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games coverage across BBC TV, radio and online
Highlights include
09:00 - Hockey: A clash between Scotland’s women and England starts the day, and much could potentially ride on the outcome - this is the final group game for both teams. Walesplay Malaysia in the following game. Scotland and England have been kept apart in the men's tournament, where the group stage finishes a day later with the Commonwealth hosts against Australia and England against Canada.
10:00 - Diving: The opening final of the 2014 diving programme is the women's 10m platform synchro, closely followed by the women's 3m springboard synchro. Canada's divers lead the world rankings among Commonwealth nations in each discipline, but Australia's Melissa Wuwill look to defend her 10m synchro title from Delhi 2010 with new partner Rachel Bugg, who replaces Alex Croak. Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow (who finished fourth at Delhi 2010 and fifth at London 2012) are England's (and the home nations') leading contenders in the 10m synchro event, with Rebecca Gallantree and Alicia Blaggchallenging in the 3m.

Daily Bulletin – Tuesday 29 July
Coverage Highlights
- Mountain bikers take to the trails as Britain's leading gymnasts clash.
- Full Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games coverage across BBC TV, radio and online
Today’s Highlights include
12:45 - Shooting: Today marks the climax of the Commonwealth shooting event with the individual Queen's Prize, a full bore target rifle event unique to the Games: competitors fire at targets across a range of distances in an event supposedly inaugurated by Queen Victoria who, in 1860, offered a £250 purse to the winner of the first such tournament.
Northern Irish full bore shooter David Calvert returns to the Commonwealth Games for a 10th time as part of the team for Glasgow, having won four gold and four bronze medals since his debut at the Edmonton Games of 1978.
11:30 - Mountain bike: Since its debut on the programme in 2002, Canadians have won three of the four available gold medals, a run interrupted only by England's Liam Killeen in the 2006 men's race. In 2014, there is no Killeen but London Olympian Annie Last will be one of England's leading contenders.
This year, the Western Isles' Kerry Macphee will race for Scotland in the women's event having transferred from triathlon in a scheme designed to maximise Scottish medal potential, while Kenta Gallagher is one to watch for the hosts in the men's race.
16:30 - Artistic gymnastics: Both team finals promise to deliver one of the biggest home-nations battles of the Games, particularly a men's event which splits Great Britain - one of the world's leading teams – into England and Scotland.
London 2012 silver medallist Louis Smith, overlooked by GB for this year's European Championships, has nevertheless secured selection to the English team for Glasgow 2014 having mounted a high-profile nine-month comeback to gymnastics. While Smith is a pommel horse specialist, team-mates Kristian Thomas, Sam Oldham and Max Whitlock will be England's big hitters on all six apparatus in the team event.
For Scotland, Dan Purvis and Daniel Keatings are the stars of the show: both have won world medals in the past and Purvis was part of GB's bronze medal-winning team at London 2012. They are joined by Frank Baines, a former European junior all-around champion who represents Scotland's next generation at the age of 19.
19:00 - Swimming: The last night of swimming action features the two 4x100m medley relays alongside the women's 400m freestyle, which may be another chance for Wales' Jazz Carlin to impress. Australia's Bronte Barratt has been Carlin's closest rival over this distance so far in 2014.
The longest men's event on the programme, the 1500m freestyle, is a chance to see 18-year-old Mack Horton, billed as the leading light of Australia's next generation of swimming talent. England's Daniel Fogg is tasked with stopping him, while London 2012 silver medallist Ryan Cochrane will be defending the Commonwealth title he won for Canada at Delhi 2010.
19:30 - Weightlifting: The men's 94kg category pits England's Sonny Webster and Owen Boxall against Scotland's Peter Kirkbride. Kirkbride, 26, competed at London 2012 despite suffering a torn biceps muscle mid-event, while Boxall is the current British champion. Faavae Faauliuli, the Samoan who narrowly beat Kirkbride to Commonwealth gold in India four years ago, will be back to defend his title in Glasgow.
The women's 75kg class features England's Mercy Brown, who broke eight British records when she earned her qualification for Glasgow 2014 at the British Student Championships in March. Brown faces tough competition from Canada's top female weightlifter, Marie-Eve Beauchemin-Nadeau, who won silver in the event at Delhi 2010.
Also: Badminton (singles and doubles preliminaries), boxing (men's quarter-finals), hockey (09:00 New Zealand men v England, 16:00 Wales men v South Africa, and other group stage matches), lawn bowls (preliminary rounds), netball (09:30 England v Trinidad and Tobago, 17:00 South Africa v Wales, 19:00 Malawi v Scotland, and other group stage matches), squash (doubles pools), table tennis (singles qualifying round).
