Australia get a new Commonwealth record in the velodrome, so it's not looking good for England!
Dan Wiffen of Northern Ireland just had a smashing qualifying race beating Australia's Mack Horton
Luke Turley (END) and Kieran Bird (WAL) in 3rd and 4th too.

Chad Le Clos surprisingly slow in the heats, through to the semis but he will need to pick up the pace.
