Seems odd that the largest country in the Commonwealth would have to outsource shooting to the smallest.

I think just one. Bizarrely, they are showing a match between and on BBC, rather than any home nations. Which means I can step out for a drink

Up to six I think, but only one show rink.

For those new to it, lawn bowls is basically curling on grass, but you are aiming at the jack - the small yellow bowl - not a fixed point.   The jack itself can be moved & even driven off the field.  At the end, the nearest bowls to the jack count, so in this game 6 is the maximum score.

Hiccup at the start of the Badminton vs ... the umpire got the opening bit wrong and the scoreboard malfunctioned early on
