Australia also have high hopes of Eamon Sullivan in the Men's 100m Freestyle.

Commentary comes from Andy Jameson, Adrian Moorhouse and Sharron Davies.

Commonwealth Games 2010

Thursday 7 October

8.00-11.00am ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ TWO and ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ HD

Hazel Irvine is joined by Rob Hayles for more cycling action, including:

8.30am Women's 10km Scratch Race Final
9.10am Women's and Men's Sprint Semi-Finals
10.20am Men's 4000m Team Pursuit Final
10.35am Women's and Men's Sprint Finals

Olympic men's Sprint champion Sir Chris Hoy may not be in Delhi but Scotland still have a good chance of gold through 2006 silver medallist Ross Edgar. But the competition is likely to include Australian Shane Perkins, whose silver at the world championships earlier this year suggests he is back to his best. In the women's Sprint, the absence of defending champion Victoria Pendleton could open the way for Australian Anna Meares to upgrade her Melbourne silver to Delhi gold.

England will be defending their title in the men's Team Pursuit while today's finals kick off with the women's Scratch Race, a new event at the Commonwealth Games.

Commentary comes from Hugh Porter, Chris Boardman and Jill Douglas.

There are also highlights of the morning heats in athletics and swimming, plus news of other British teams and competitors in action.

Clare Balding and John Inverdale are in Delhi for more swimming and athletics action, including:

1.06pm Women's 800m Freestyle Final

Rebecca Cooke won the Women's 800m Freestyle gold in Melbourne in 2006 and another English Rebecca will be looking to succeed her in Delhi. Olympic champion Becky Adlington won gold in Beijing two years ago in stunning fashion, breaking swimming's longest-standing world record in the process – and the 21-year-old is looking back to her best after a post-Olympic blip.

1.15pm Women's Hammer Final
1.20pm Women's 100 SF
1.30pm Men's Shot Final
1.35pm Men's 100 SF
1.50pm Women's Para T46 100 Final

The best female sprinters from the Home Nations are again in track action as they look to progress through to the Commonwealth 100m and 400m finals.

England's No. 1 shot-putter Carl Myerscough claimed the bronze medal eight years ago in Manchester. He has high hopes of climbing the medal podium once again, if only to banish memories of Melbourne in 2006 when he finished an agonising fourth.

Stacey Dooley, one of the stars of the hit ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Three series, Blood, Sweat And T-Shirts and her spin-off show Stacey Dooley Investigates, returns with a new moving and insightful documentary exploring the issue of child exploitation: child soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

An estimated 30,000 children have been used as soldiers during the 14-year conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo and no one knows how many thousands are still in the forests, enslaved by armed militias. With the help of local charity workers, Stacey meets children who have been soldiers and hears their personal accounts of what life as a child soldier entailed. She visits a rescue centre where boys and girls arrive daily, rescued from guerrilla militia units as well as the Congolese National Army.

Stacey meets other boy soldiers and hears their terrifying experiences first hand. Accompanying a local charity she goes to a frontline Congolese National Army camp where she witnesses the rescue of two boys. With the charity, she takes one boy home and he's reunited with his family, from whom he was stolen more than eight years ago.

Through Stacey's journey, viewers witness the terrifying complexities of war where young kids have been separated physically and emotionally from their law-abiding families.
