After a relatively quiet day, the first medal was claimed by the men's 3x3 basketball team just before 17:00 BST. A couple of hours later, three more followed in the space of five minutes. The women's wheelchair 3x3 basketball team took silver; Evans added her second gold - and third medal - of the Games in the 200m breaststroke; then Woods claimed gold in the women's T54 1500m. Shaw then joined in with bronze in the women's S9 100m freestyle before MacInnes was edged into second place in the women's 200m butterfly to take her second individual silver of the meet. Around the same time, MacKenzie was leaping to long jump bronze, before the haul was completed in the pool when Evans and MacInnes teamed up with Katie Shanahan and Evie Davis to take silver in the women's 4x100m medley. Three more further medals are guaranteed in boxing - with fighters in semi-final action on Friday - while further prospects remain in athletics, bowls, cycling, judo and weightlifting.
