Tin-Tin Ho. Delight on their faces, a well played match. That, you feel,

:00:00.:00:00.

Tin-Tin Ho and Liam Pitchford the a well played match. That, you feel,

:00:00.:00:10.

future of English table tennis. Success for Paul Drinkhall and

:00:11.:00:14.

Joanna Drinkhall, their different styles combine to bring success, but

:00:15.:00:19.

did immense credit to Liam Pitchford and to Tin-Tin Ho,

:00:20.:00:24.

silver-medallists. It is more they can have expected. The mixed

:00:25.:00:29.

doubles, gold, silver and bronze, a massive injection for

:00:30.:00:37.

So, delirious moments, for the married couple and now they

:00:38.:00:48.

have gone two better, and got themselves the ultimate prize, the

:00:49.:00:52.

gold-medal for Paul and Joanna Drinkhall. Deserve it adulation, a

:00:53.:00:57.

standing ovation from the majority of the crowd. The these two,

:00:58.:01:02.

Pitchford and Tin-Tin Ho, their time will come, but didn't they play

:01:03.:01:04.

well? -- for these two. They played their part in a terrific

:01:05.:01:33.

gold-medal match. The Shaw, we will be seeing a lot more of them for --

:01:34.:01:38.

for sure, we will be seeing a lot more of them for many years to come.

:01:39.:01:45.

Applause, then, for the victors, as they leave the stage. A brilliant

:01:46.:01:56.

afternoon's work for the Drinkhalls.

:01:57.:02:05.

Just some highlights then found they did it. Paul Drinkhall playing

:02:06.:02:12.

particularly aggressively in the last game, really taking it to the

:02:13.:02:21.

seventh seeds. And there it was on the match point, a dead net cord, to

:02:22.:02:29.

the disappointment of Liam Pitchford. Delight on their faces,

:02:30.:02:32.

gold-medal winners, Paul and Joanna Drinkhall.

:02:33.:02:41.

Joanna, a Commonwealth champion, how does that sound? Amazing! Don't, you

:02:42.:02:49.

are going to start me! Amazing, if you at the beginning of the

:02:50.:02:51.

tournament we would be playing our own team mate in the final, it has

:02:52.:02:55.

been such a great event for endless table tennis. We are just so happy

:02:56.:03:00.

to win. Muted televisions at the end, is that just because of the

:03:01.:03:04.

weight finished with that net cord? Yes they got robbed because of the

:03:05.:03:09.

net, but we got robbed of a proper celebration because of a lucky point

:03:10.:03:14.

to finish on. Great for in this table tennis, like Joanna sat, great

:03:15.:03:19.

for English table tennis. -- like Joanna said. We have

:03:20.:03:24.

how much does it mean to you personally, because I know after

:03:25.:03:31.

Delhi you said you had unfinished as Miss? I came for for medals, I have

:03:32.:03:36.

only got two, but one of them is gold, and it is amazing to win it

:03:37.:03:41.

with Jo being my wife, it is extra special. It is amazing. The way they

:03:42.:03:46.

came back, were you worried at all? We knew they were tough opponents,

:03:47.:03:51.

they are really good players. You have still got another sets to win,

:03:52.:03:54.

you can't finish it there and we are both well experienced to know that.

:03:55.:03:57.

They come up with really good fighting spirit. They made us really

:03:58.:04:04.

fight for the title. I am happy to say we took it. How do you celebrate

:04:05.:04:09.

a gold medal? Bottle of champagne, it has got to be, or a feud. I have

:04:10.:04:15.

got to play a bronze medal match in the women's doubles first, so I will

:04:16.:04:21.

do that, and then... I will cheer them on with a bottle of champagne.

:04:22.:04:28.

I will join him after. Congratulations. Hasn't it been a

:04:29.:04:32.

good day for husband and wife teams? We saw the Adcocks in badminton

:04:33.:04:36.

progressing to the mixed doubles final, and then the Drinkhalls

:04:37.:04:40.

taking the Commonwealth gold. Probably a good time to hand over to

:04:41.:04:45.

Mike television has bid for the last ten days, many shakes Mac LAUGHTER

:04:46.:04:55.

-- my television husband. What a netball match we saw earlier between

:04:56.:04:58.

England and New Zealand, that is the one thing about this Commonwealth

:04:59.:05:02.

Games, I was transfixed as to what was going on in the netball court.

:05:03.:05:08.

It was a great finish. That sums up the Commonwealth Games, that we all

:05:09.:05:12.

become experts for 11 days, and we get really fixated on different

:05:13.:05:15.

sports. Sports that we might never have watch before until Glasgow

:05:16.:05:21.

2014. Good to see you, good afternoon, folks. Here we are,

:05:22.:05:26.

mid-afternoon on day ten of Glasgow 2014. Let's run you through what you

:05:27.:05:32.

can expect between now and the end of the day on BBC Three. In

:05:33.:05:37.

badminton, we will see who can seal their place in the singles and

:05:38.:05:41.

doubles events finals. Coverage to come from the Emirates Arena. We

:05:42.:05:48.

will find out who is closing in on the three gold medals on offer in

:05:49.:05:53.

table tennis. As we head into the evening, it will also feature the

:05:54.:05:56.

women's three-metre springboard final from Edinburgh.

:05:57.:06:02.

We kick off this session with badminton. It is a sport that

:06:03.:06:08.

requires more fancy footwork than those involved on Strickler come

:06:09.:06:11.

dancing. As far as team England are concerned, the third seed is a real

:06:12.:06:16.

medal hope as far as they are concerned. Let's get a handle on how

:06:17.:06:24.

he burst onto the scene in terms of badminton.

:06:25.:06:32.

I have very fond memories of playing in the last game and doing well. It

:06:33.:06:40.

was my breakthrough. Announcing myself on the world stage a bit

:06:41.:06:45.

more. It has been a long time since England had a top-class men's

:06:46.:06:55.

singles player, but it is Rajiv Ouseph through to the final. I did

:06:56.:07:00.

not play as well as I wanted to, but it was something I aspired to, being

:07:01.:07:03.

in the final of the Commonwealth Games. I was in two minds about how

:07:04.:07:08.

I played it that day, but getting the silver medal was probably one of

:07:09.:07:12.

the highlights of my career. The first Englishman for 24 years to

:07:13.:07:17.

reach a Commonwealth Games final in men's singles.

:07:18.:07:21.

If I can do the same as I did last time, I would be very happy.

:07:22.:07:28.

Obviously I would love to do one better. It is going to be tough, but

:07:29.:07:31.

I don't see why I can't produce a few good wins. If I am consistent, I

:07:32.:07:35.

am confident in my ability to come back and win a medal again. We have

:07:36.:07:42.

a very strong team. As one of the older players in the team, I try and

:07:43.:07:46.

use that experience to try and help everyone else, especially in the

:07:47.:07:49.

team event. We did not really perform how we wanted to in the

:07:50.:07:54.

Olympics, so if we can bring back some credibility to badminton by

:07:55.:07:58.

getting medals in these games, I think it might get the interest back

:07:59.:08:04.

up in badminton. It is kind of a semi-home game, so we will have a

:08:05.:08:09.

lot of interest in ourselves again, media and family and friends, so we

:08:10.:08:12.

need to be used that pressure in a positive way. Hopefully I can use my

:08:13.:08:17.

experience from London in a positive way. It is going to be a new

:08:18.:08:24.

experience for us but hopefully that will be something we can bring back

:08:25.:08:26.

a medal or two from. After beating his training partner

:08:27.:08:35.

in the quarterfinals, axed up for Rajiv Ouseph was an Indian opponent,

:08:36.:08:42.

somebody ten one had already beaten earlier. We join the best of three

:08:43.:08:47.

contest with one game all. Don't forget, up for grabs is a place in

:08:48.:08:49.

the final. COMMENTATOR: You have to use that

:08:50.:09:09.

pace. Which has done there. Yes. Just coming back to the point

:09:10.:09:14.

before, I said at the end of the second game, Kashup is very

:09:15.:09:29.

confident. Rajiv Ouseph hast to up the pace in order to secure an

:09:30.:09:35.

earlier finish, than if he is just waiting and playing. An earlier

:09:36.:09:43.

finish within the rally, you mean? Yes, thanks. Presumably it will

:09:44.:09:57.

become very intriguing then because Ouseph will become more attacking

:09:58.:10:00.

and Kashyap will have Ouseph will become more attacking

:10:01.:10:07.

rallies. That is what I love about this chess game we are having. It

:10:08.:10:09.

goes like a yo-yo. The reaction of the rally from

:10:10.:10:55.

Kashyap. Now, something has happened here. Walker, the men's doubles

:10:56.:11:03.

player, has come to the coaching bench because the two Indian coaches

:11:04.:11:07.

have gone on to the adjoining court where the number one seed, PV sin do

:11:08.:11:13.

is play another one single semifinal. She was 9-3 down and now

:11:14.:11:19.

11-10 up in the first game. I think he was in trying to give his

:11:20.:13:18.

advice on the other court first and then coming back here again. Yes, it

:13:19.:13:23.

is difficult for the coaches when he have players on two courts at the

:13:24.:13:28.

same time. And they are both demanding your attention.

:13:29.:14:10.

Oh, yes. What a smash. And what a way to build the rally. This is the

:14:11.:14:23.

way Ouseph can win the match, playing patiently that adding on a

:14:24.:14:27.

little bit of pace when you have two and then go for these big finishes.

:14:28.:14:29.

He has got the better smash of the two players.

:14:30.:14:49.

Here, we have this patients come in between. He has got to run for that

:14:50.:14:55.

one. -- bastions. Well taken. Rajiv Ouseph take the

:14:56.:15:11.

shuttle late in his deep, forehand corner. Lookout he hits this. His

:15:12.:15:19.

opponents know they are going to play the straight drop, and they are

:15:20.:15:22.

moving in. He has do make the physical effort to leap up and take

:15:23.:15:26.

it early, deep in his forehand corner. That is what his coaches

:15:27.:15:29.

asking him to do. -- his coach 's. Well played. Once again, this is a

:15:30.:16:07.

very fine example of playing with patience, waiting for his chance,

:16:08.:16:11.

but having the better attack and a wonderful follow-up comment here. --

:16:12.:16:14.

wonderful follow-up, here. He has got it back! That is good

:16:15.:17:20.

anticipation by Kasia. -- by Kashyap . Rajiv Ouseph showing fatigue after

:17:21.:17:26.

that rally. Look at that retrieving. Yes, look at that, hands on hips.

:17:27.:17:46.

That hurt. Both physically and, I should think, mentally. Yes, it is

:17:47.:17:49.

painful, always. It is wide. Another gruelling rally.

:17:50.:19:17.

This match has now been in progress for example the one hour. It is 1-1,

:19:18.:19:27.

and 6-6 in the deciding game. Oh, it was not wide by much, was it? It is

:19:28.:19:36.

becoming a very, very hard, physical battle between these two players.

:19:37.:19:39.

Who is going to crack first? He missed it. Mental discipline.

:19:40.:20:15.

Yes. It is tough out there. You have been on court for a little over an

:20:16.:20:16.

hour. You have

:20:17.:20:32.

little harsh, that was a good opportunity, he just missed it. Yes,

:20:33.:20:38.

by a whisker. He was just out. It was a good chance to take. But

:20:39.:20:43.

obviously, he should have kept it in. And the game plan of Kashyap is

:20:44.:20:48.

still intact. This is so important, isn't it?

:20:49.:21:43.

Psychologically. It is. And the umpire is not allowing the

:21:44.:21:52.

players to towel down. . I think that is available hard, when

:21:53.:22:15.

the players have just had a rally like that. I know the rules say that

:22:16.:22:22.

play must be continuous. But sometimes you need a little bit of

:22:23.:22:26.

latitude, after a rally like that, and the length of the match. It

:22:27.:22:28.

would be It is another very, very physical

:22:29.:23:08.

rally. But that is interesting. Kashyap is starting to open up, you.

:23:09.:23:14.

What a mistake by Rajiv Ouseph. -- to open up, here. Well, both players

:23:15.:23:22.

physically putting themselves through a gruelling match. And I

:23:23.:23:27.

think when you have long rallies like that, and

:23:28.:23:29.

think when you have long rallies error, rather than your opponent

:23:30.:23:31.

playing a winner, you can devastating, psychologically. But

:23:32.:23:40.

you see coming here, I can see both players wandering around, taking

:23:41.:23:44.

their time. I know the umpire has given Rajiv Ouseph a verbal warning

:23:45.:23:49.

about going and towelling down. And of course, after a verbal warning, a

:23:50.:23:53.

player can get a yellow card, which I believe is a monetary fine, if

:23:54.:23:58.

they break the rules again, and then they can get a red card, which is a

:23:59.:24:02.

points deduction, if they keep breaking the rule after that. Then

:24:03.:24:09.

they get a black card and disqualification. But you have do

:24:10.:24:12.

have an understanding of what these athletes are going through. If both

:24:13.:24:16.

men are taking their time in between points, that is permissible, I

:24:17.:24:21.

think, really. If one was really wanting to go on quickly and the

:24:22.:24:26.

other wasn't, I can understand the umpire's intervention. Yes, but they

:24:27.:24:33.

are going by the letter of the law. Yes, and to be honest, that is why

:24:34.:24:37.

we have rules. I'm not criticising the umpire. But this is a nice

:24:38.:24:46.

little break for Kashyap Parupalli. An important advantage. And twice in

:24:47.:24:50.

the last three rallies, he has been the one opening up on the attack.

:24:51.:24:56.

That is a definite change. Here, we see it again.

:24:57.:25:03.

I think it is right, what he is doing here, Rajiv Ouseph, not going

:25:04.:25:29.

cross court but straight down the line. That is something he has got

:25:30.:25:34.

to do now, when he is in these big matches, he has got to go straight.

:25:35.:25:40.

Every time it is going across, if he is coming back, you has got to do a

:25:41.:25:44.

lot of covering on the court. Yes, because he would have do is cover

:25:45.:25:48.

the full diagonal because if he smashes crosscourt, the obvious

:25:49.:25:53.

reply is a straight block. He has to go. It's matches and the moment. --

:25:54.:26:02.

he has to go for straight smashes. That is a nice winner from Kashyap

:26:03.:26:05.

Parupalli and he has the advantage of the players change ends in this

:26:06.:26:10.

deciding game, a 3-point advantage, to be precise. What has Rajiv Ouseph

:26:11.:26:12.

got left? Has he got the stamina? Well, I'm afraid I did not really

:26:13.:27:04.

catch what the Indian coach was saying to his man. They have got 42

:27:05.:27:11.

languages to choose from! Well, will the 3-point cushion be

:27:12.:27:19.

sufficient? It is going wide. It is. If ever

:27:20.:27:59.

this four points after the change of ends, that you always talk about,

:28:00.:28:04.

you need to get a 3-1 advantage at least, in the first four points

:28:05.:28:08.

after the mid-game interval, if ever that was relevant, it is right now.

:28:09.:28:29.

That is out. Oh, dear. Well, it is called good. It is the sideline in

:28:30.:28:41.

question. That was clearly wide. Good defence. That is in. Amazing.

:28:42.:29:56.

You could see that Kashyap was going on the attack. Rajiv Ouseph, getting

:29:57.:30:01.

ready, and he got it, got a good counterattacking opportunity but did

:30:02.:30:06.

not get through. What a good defence it was from Kashyap, here.

:30:07.:30:24.

Good left, my goodness me, off a tight swingeing net shot, that was

:30:25.:30:35.

wonderful live from Kashyap. This one, the shuttle was upside down, he

:30:36.:30:40.

had to let the shuttle come out of the spin, and the tumble before he

:30:41.:30:43.

could play the lift and to get such... Oh my goodness, DGC that?

:30:44.:30:52.

Yes, a good shot. -- did you see that? Excellent left. And a tight

:30:53.:31:00.

spinning net shot this time from Kashyap.

:31:01.:31:07.

Nothing Rusev can do about that. Good play by Kashyap. -- nothing

:31:08.:31:16.

Ouseph can do about that. A 5-point cushion now.

:31:17.:31:31.

That is wide. Yes, and the body language of tragic to surf,

:31:32.:31:41.

silver-medallist from four years ago -- of Rajiv Ouseph. The

:31:42.:31:51.

disappointment. And now it is a tall, tall order. For the England

:31:52.:31:56.

number one to come back from this sort of a deficit in the deciding

:31:57.:31:58.

game. has got the surplus, physically and

:31:59.:32:26.

mentally, and he is really having a nice follow-up here this late in the

:32:27.:32:32.

match, that is very well done. It certainly is, and he is on a run of

:32:33.:32:39.

six straight points. At 11-10, I thought it was to anyone pleural,

:32:40.:32:47.

50-50. It was, it definitely was -- I thought it was anyone's.

:32:48.:32:54.

You see, I think interesting. Obviously grasping at

:32:55.:33:26.

straws here, in terms of Ouseph, but the shot before that

:33:27.:33:32.

straws here, in terms of Ouseph, but much, much faster attacking player.

:33:33.:33:34.

All of the clears they have played have been very high and very

:33:35.:33:41.

defensive. That change of pace did the damage.

:33:42.:34:12.

from the umpire. Yes, indeed. That is good umpiring. Both you and I

:34:13.:34:13.

We could not hear what Ouseph was thought that was wide.

:34:14.:34:25.

We could not hear what Ouseph was saying. Looking at it again I am not

:34:26.:34:31.

quite as convinced as I was when I watched it the first time.

:34:32.:34:38.

quite as convinced as I was when I goodness. That is tied. Well, well,

:34:39.:34:45.

well. I think that is probably 1-1 on the bad line calls.

:34:46.:34:57.

That is a good smash. And two tantalising points required by the

:34:58.:35:08.

number two seed to book his place in tomorrow's final. It has been 32

:35:09.:35:18.

years since India took a gold medal in the men's singles here at the

:35:19.:35:24.

Commonwealth Games. But only two points needed for the chance to

:35:25.:35:25.

repeat that. Yes, it is time for a serious come

:35:26.:35:50.

back here. 12-19 down in the third game. Yes, well played. And the

:35:51.:36:00.

nearer the finishing line players get, the more nervous they may

:36:01.:36:07.

become. So desperate to win those last couple of points, perhaps, you

:36:08.:36:12.

get a little bit tentative in your play. And that could present an

:36:13.:36:18.

opportunity to Ouseph. There was hesitation there from

:36:19.:37:07.

Kashyap, was he going to leave it? I think he was right to play it,

:37:08.:37:16.

wasn't he? I think so too. Oh, that is brilliant. What a defensive shot

:37:17.:37:23.

from Kashyap. Match point opportunities.

:37:24.:37:40.

Yes, I think it turned out that Kashyap was the stronger physical

:37:41.:37:50.

player of the two. I know it is very premature to say it, still five

:37:51.:37:57.

match points to go, but as the game progressed, I felt that Kashyap was

:37:58.:38:02.

right, he was physically stronger than his opponent. Good defence

:38:03.:38:10.

again. Kashyap, the is not moving at all,

:38:11.:39:17.

he is standing still, he is absolutely standing still -- he is

:39:18.:39:24.

not moving at all. Oh. Look at that, it is over, that is amazing! And

:39:25.:39:33.

that is going out. Oh, it is called good! It is called good! And Kashyap

:39:34.:39:39.

has only just realised that that shot has been called in! He thought

:39:40.:39:47.

he had secured the victory. He cannot believe it. But your point,

:39:48.:39:56.

he was at walking pace earlier in that rally, and the fatigue has

:39:57.:40:05.

suddenly hit Kashyap. Completely. Suddenly hit the wall. My goodness

:40:06.:40:18.

me. Well, I have to say, looking at that again, I think I have sympathy

:40:19.:40:25.

for Kashyap. Let's see if we can have it in slow motion.

:40:26.:40:32.

Oh, my goodness, no, that is out, I thought that was out. My goodness

:40:33.:40:43.

me. Well, we are not in the best position to see. The line judge

:40:44.:40:51.

certainly is. Well, it is all happening here. What a rally. Two

:40:52.:41:00.

match points have come and gone. That rally, 71 shots. Only 71!

:41:01.:41:07.

CHUCKLING Yes, that is amazing, what a match

:41:08.:41:17.

it has been. Yes. Still four match point opportunities for this man.

:41:18.:41:28.

Oh my goodness, I thought he was going to attack that. Me to. -- me

:41:29.:41:35.

too. Oh, would you believe it! The net

:41:36.:41:50.

shot from Ouseph sat on the top of the tape and then decided to go

:41:51.:41:52.

over! Oh my goodness. Extraordinary. Brilliant. Four match points have

:41:53.:42:24.

been brilliantly saved. And only another two opportunities for

:42:25.:42:25.

Kashyap. This time, he converts! Heartache

:42:26.:42:47.

for Rajiv Ouseph, and the bronze-medallist from four years ago

:42:48.:42:53.

beats the silver-medallist from four years ago, reverses the result from

:42:54.:43:04.

Delhi. 18-20 one, 21-17, 21-18 in the third and deciding game. One

:43:05.:43:14.

hour 23 minutes of absolutely pulsate in, wonderful badminton. And

:43:15.:43:21.

after 32 years, India will have the opportunity for gold, once more.

:43:22.:43:29.

As you can see, we have been brave enough to venture outside here, and

:43:30.:43:36.

we have a lovely rendition of amazing Grace from some splendid

:43:37.:43:40.

bagpipers there on the main stage. Just to give you a little flavour of

:43:41.:43:44.

what is going on outside, the rain is coming down a little bit here but

:43:45.:43:48.

it has not dampened enthusiasm of any of the locals. Having a great

:43:49.:43:53.

time. Let's stay with the badminton, to the women's singles, and

:43:54.:43:56.

certainly high hopes amongst the locals for Glasgow native Kirsty

:43:57.:44:01.

Gilmour. She is hoping to become the first Scottish woman to ever reach

:44:02.:44:05.

the singles finals at the Commonwealth Games.

:44:06.:44:12.

We join the action at the start of the second.

:44:13.:44:22.

COMMENTATOR: Morton, I don't know if you've got to hear everything that

:44:23.:44:30.

the Scottish coaches were saying, but I would have thought the best

:44:31.:44:35.

thing to say is you are playing quite brilliantly, keep this going.

:44:36.:44:40.

I love the way you said everything. Because personally I think that was

:44:41.:44:46.

over coaching, that was far too much. The girl here has had a

:44:47.:44:51.

brilliant first game. She has done so many right things. You have to

:44:52.:44:54.

keep it simple and just keep it on track and keep it going. I think it

:44:55.:44:58.

was Great net exchange. She is certainly

:44:59.:45:30.

still determined, as you can see Great net exchange. She is certainly

:45:31.:45:42.

her reaction after the rally. That was a good kill as well. Well

:45:43.:45:49.

played. I thought she had a look towards the umpire? We all do!

:45:50.:45:52.

"Please don't say any thing! " She has overdone it. Please have a

:45:53.:46:14.

look at when she is lunging on the net on the forehand side, we get the

:46:15.:46:16.

rally one more time. Lovely, well you have talked about

:46:17.:46:46.

that crosscourt shot from around the head position, as we say it, when

:46:47.:46:51.

you hit down the backhand side but you play with a normal overhead

:46:52.:46:55.

action but it is one of her favourites. Instead of

:46:56.:46:56.

action but it is one of her favourites. Instead going for the

:46:57.:46:58.

power play comic using a good angle. Yes, she plays a very nice

:46:59.:47:05.

reverse sides, there. -- power play, using. It gives our lot of

:47:06.:47:09.

options when she is playing the shop. -- it gives her.

:47:10.:47:20.

Perhaps just losing concentration. Kirsty Gilmour has been using the

:47:21.:47:32.

backhand serve an awful lot. That is presumably, because she does not

:47:33.:47:38.

want to give away the lift and the opportunity for her opponent to play

:47:39.:47:42.

an attacking shot right at the start of the rally. It could be but it

:47:43.:47:45.

could also be the chance to play some variation in her serve, Soho

:47:46.:47:50.

opponent does not settle into a certain kind of rhythm. -- so her

:47:51.:47:57.

opponent. There was the crosscourt shot, again. I think Tee Jing Yi is

:47:58.:48:06.

beginning to look for it now. Perhaps she needs more variation.

:48:07.:48:12.

Verratti 's again. I am still looking for the pumping clear, down

:48:13.:48:16.

the forehand side, in that situation. If you have a very good

:48:17.:48:19.

attacking punch clear from around the head position, and having the

:48:20.:48:23.

crosscourt smash and the Cross reverse slice, then you have good

:48:24.:48:25.

options to play with. That was in. Yes, a misjudgement

:48:26.:48:48.

from Kirsty Gilmour. position, from Tee Jing Yi, not what

:48:49.:49:28.

it was when we saw them play earlier in the tournament in the mixed team

:49:29.:49:34.

competition. Look, she's almost having the left hand on the floor as

:49:35.:49:40.

well. Is that for balance yes. It should be in the legs and not in the

:49:41.:49:48.

hand on the floor. Well, she raises her hand in apology to Kirsty

:49:49.:49:54.

Gilmour. The shuttle, hitting the top of the tape. Just going over.

:49:55.:50:03.

She is not happy with that. But there is nothing you can do. You

:50:04.:50:10.

just have to forget and get on with it. Face it, and that is it. The

:50:11.:50:16.

thing is, when you play, you have to worry about the things you can do

:50:17.:50:19.

something about not the things you can't do anything about.

:50:20.:50:49.

Well, Kirsty Gilmour desperately needs to up her game, here. I think

:50:50.:51:03.

I am going to throw in the mental aspect of this. What I think is that

:51:04.:51:07.

every time we have seen her play, and she has had the option, when

:51:08.:51:12.

they do the toss of the coin, where to stand, or whether she wants to

:51:13.:51:16.

serve, she has always chosen that side, where she played the first

:51:17.:51:20.

game, here, because she loves to play against the drift. Now we are

:51:21.:51:26.

seeing that she is playing quite a lot of shots out on the baseline,

:51:27.:51:32.

playing with the drift. This is definitely not her favourite side.

:51:33.:51:36.

The shuttle flying a little bit faster, coming towards us. That is

:51:37.:51:43.

what we mean by drift. Slight air currents in the arena. That is the

:51:44.:51:47.

case in any large arena. This is a big point and both players

:51:48.:52:24.

sense it. Yes, the psychological effect of that is very important.

:52:25.:53:33.

Well played. We said a moment ago that Kirsty Gilmour needed to our

:53:34.:53:40.

per game and she has certainly upped their intensity and speed of

:53:41.:53:46.

movement. -- to up her game. Good follow-up. The slice down the line

:53:47.:53:53.

and then the follow-up. Imagine if she had that punch clear down the

:53:54.:53:54.

line as well. Well... Looking to take the shuttle

:53:55.:54:20.

to the side rather than in front of her. Totally the wrong timing. Here,

:54:21.:54:26.

we can see. That was not a good shot selection.

:54:27.:54:33.

The Malaysians coach, there. He does not give much away, as usual.

:54:34.:54:42.

It is called good. Kirsty Gilmour does not like the call. Once again,

:54:43.:54:53.

she can do nothing about it. No, the umpire is only allowed to overall if

:54:54.:54:58.

they see a clear error has been made. -- overrule. Goodness me, who

:54:59.:55:07.

would want to be a line judge? Definitely not me.

:55:08.:55:24.

That is going long and that proves your point, that Kirsty Gilmour is

:55:25.:55:30.

struggling to control the shuttle from the far side of the court,

:55:31.:55:34.

playing with the drift. And a 4-point advantage is with the

:55:35.:55:46.

Malaysians. -- Malaysian. Short and sweet,

:55:47.:56:17.

Get some peace back in your rallies again, OK?

:56:18.:56:34.

Kirsty Gilmour, to get some peace back in her rally, it is an

:56:35.:56:41.

indication. Is that what you understood? When you are patient,

:56:42.:56:43.

and you play and you work your understood? When you are patient,

:56:44.:56:47.

rallies, it is a sign of confidence, and I think peace and confidence are

:56:48.:56:53.

one and the same. That is what Chris was saying. It is a language thing.

:56:54.:57:02.

Going back to the point you made about Kirsty Gilmour choosing ends,

:57:03.:57:09.

and choosing her favourite end to start, you know, I suppose it is

:57:10.:57:14.

very much an individual thing with players, but personally, I liked to

:57:15.:57:20.

finish on the best end. She is not doing that. Exactly. But I have been

:57:21.:57:29.

thinking quite a lot about it, and it must be so important to her

:57:30.:57:36.

confidence and her general play, that she is giving herself the best

:57:37.:57:39.

opportunity to win the first game, and having it under her belt is

:57:40.:57:44.

possibly meaning much more to her than having a good side

:57:45.:57:46.

possibly meaning much more to her than having a good at the end.

:57:47.:57:55.

Well played. Fantastic reaction from the fans. CHEERING

:57:56.:58:34.

I don't think she was expecting the previous one to come back, but she

:58:35.:58:39.

was ready and alert, nonetheless. mistakes on the backhand low serve.

:58:40.:59:39.

Another one goes along. I think in this little bit of a

:59:40.:59:49.

desperate situation, 15-9 down, she should be more shots downwards and

:59:50.:00:04.

try to score some winners. Unbelievable. What a net shot, it

:00:05.:00:13.

seemed to take an age. Absolutely dictating the pace of

:00:14.:00:53.

that rally, Gilmour. It is in.

:00:54.:01:31.

What an incredible shot. A tight spending net shot.

:01:32.:01:40.

It is interesting, we talked quite a lot about the fact that Jing Yi Tee

:01:41.:01:48.

maybe tired, but she is having an excellent response to this, making

:01:49.:01:50.

the maybe tired, but she is having an

:01:51.:01:51.

excellent response to racquet talk. She is going tighter to the net,

:01:52.:02:08.

tighter to the line. Really solid shots.

:02:09.:02:13.

Do you not think there ought to be more attacking drop shot from

:02:14.:02:22.

Gilmour down the forehand side? Obviously that is a long-term knee

:02:23.:02:27.

injury and with tired lakes, as you pointed out, launching is a problem.

:02:28.:02:37.

-- tired legs. Yes, I agree. Try to exploit it.

:02:38.:02:46.

Just three points away from a third and deciding game.

:02:47.:02:58.

I think Jing Yi Tee, not only is she winning, but she is winning

:02:59.:03:10.

comfortably. Gilmour is not trying to tire her out. Look at that one

:03:11.:03:20.

again. Nice. The net call this time, for

:03:21.:03:28.

Gilmour. This second game seems to be a very

:03:29.:03:35.

good game for Jing Yi Tee, regards the physical aspect and how it all

:03:36.:03:37.

went. Just look at that delightful

:03:38.:04:43.

She just has to focus, one point at a time, Gilmour. Four straight

:04:44.:05:22.

points, and now just four points the deficit.

:05:23.:05:28.

Incredible. Six straight points, and the nerves of the Malaysian are

:05:29.:06:13.

jangling. Yes, but somehow a statistic is

:06:14.:06:29.

telling me that the Malaysian will get it.

:06:30.:06:36.

Unbelievable. Well played! The arena erupts into applause. Why on earth

:06:37.:07:01.

was Gilmour not doing this sort of rally earlier in this second game?

:07:02.:07:06.

was Gilmour not doing this sort of She is doing now

:07:07.:07:07.

was Gilmour not doing this sort of should have done a long

:07:08.:07:13.

was Gilmour not doing this sort of Attack. When she was 8-15 down, I

:07:14.:07:16.

said, there is only one Attack. When she was 8-15 down, I

:07:17.:07:26.

Just one point of a deficit now. She is back level! This is

:07:27.:07:45.

absolutely extraordinary! A run She is back level! This is

:07:46.:08:03.

eight straight points. What great player,

:08:04.:08:12.

eight straight points. What great And now it is so important for her

:08:13.:08:14.

not to mentally relax, having come back from such a deficit. The

:08:15.:08:20.

anguish on the face of Jing Yi Tee. That is going wide. And now Kirsty

:08:21.:08:39.

Gilmour of Scotland is on the verge of victory! Match point opportunity.

:08:40.:09:00.

My goodness. But she has got it! Kirsty Gilmour, on a run of ten

:09:01.:09:14.

straight points, is through to the final of the Commonwealth Games!

:09:15.:09:24.

Scotland's have only taken one previous medal in women's singles

:09:25.:09:31.

badminton and that was a bronze, they are guaranteed at least a

:09:32.:09:40.

silver here in Glasgow! She hugs her coach, Scottish team-mates give her

:09:41.:09:51.

a standing ovation, and for the record, 21-13, 21-19. And that is

:09:52.:10:01.

one of the most extraordinary comebacks I have ever witnessed! A

:10:02.:10:11.

real lesson to all players. Never, ever give up. You keep fighting.

:10:12.:10:18.

There is always a chance to come back. You live in -19 down in the

:10:19.:11:02.

second game -- your 11-19 down. We will follow Kirsty's progress,

:11:03.:11:04.

second game -- your 11-19 down. We will follow Kirsty's here on BBC

:13:45.:13:52.

Welcome to our continuous coverage of the Commonwealth Games. Our next

:13:53.:13:56.

stop is the national hockey centre. We had down to the last four in the

:13:57.:14:05.

men's event. England have their work cut out against Australia.

:14:06.:14:12.

England in their white and red colours, attacking the goal to our

:14:13.:14:22.

left. Australia, in green and gold, hitting from left to right. This for

:14:23.:14:27.

a place in the final, we are underway. Immediately sent forward

:14:28.:14:36.

by England. Courtesy of Ian Lewis. Highball, it has fallen kindly for

:14:37.:14:44.

Australia, looking for a ball across, penalty corner.

:14:45.:14:50.

Adam Dixon with a little bit of skill.

:14:51.:14:58.

Australia ready to pounce. And it finds the back! What a start for

:14:59.:15:06.

Australia. Tristan white puts them at 1-0 in front. The England keeper

:15:07.:15:15.

looks a little sorry for himself. That was not in the game plan. A

:15:16.:15:20.

soft goal for England to concede, early on in the game. Waite Fox has

:15:21.:15:31.

let it go. It has fallen kindly for Australia. Scored by Simon orchard.

:15:32.:15:42.

That is a mistake. An fox trying to get out of a difficult situation and

:15:43.:15:47.

he gets mugged. Again, Orchard gets the ball on top of the D.

:15:48.:15:56.

counterattacking all the way to the D.

:15:57.:16:13.

Pinna makes the save. Australia still have possession and they are

:16:14.:16:24.

pressuring that goal all the time. Another shot, this one goes behind.

:16:25.:16:31.

Look at that speculative attack by the Aussies. Weir tangling with the

:16:32.:16:44.

Australians. The Australians have poached it again. Attacking

:16:45.:16:49.

England's goal, first shot saved, good save by George Pinner. England

:16:50.:16:56.

with a shooting opportunity, it is gloved away. Orchard for Australia.

:16:57.:17:11.

George Pinner had to react. A flying stick as well as a spinning ball.

:17:12.:17:19.

Into the corner. Plenty of time and space for Australia, they will be

:17:20.:17:22.

looking for an England foot on the ball.

:17:23.:17:29.

looking for an England foot on the of relief for England. Well

:17:30.:17:34.

trapped, a little bit of space opening up for England. Catlin's

:17:35.:17:42.

cross. Just off the foot of the Australian goalkeeper.

:17:43.:17:51.

A chance for a shot on goal and saved by George Pinner. Australia

:17:52.:17:57.

fancy another chance. saved by George Pinner. Australia

:17:58.:18:05.

by Mitton. But George Pinner is equal to him this time. Sharp

:18:06.:18:10.

passing from England here, right to the edge of the D. Chance for an

:18:11.:18:19.

England shot on goal. A little barge on Harry Martin but you have to keep

:18:20.:18:25.

playing. Australia are tough and you have to be tougher in that area.

:18:26.:18:31.

Tristan White, the scorer of Australia's first goal.

:18:32.:18:40.

I am afraid that is too easy. A little change of sites. It does come

:18:41.:18:50.

to Ciriello and it is saved. Ashley Jackson on the left for England.

:18:51.:18:56.

Leading scorer in the tournament with seven, can he add to his tally?

:18:57.:19:02.

And England have a goal! They are back in the match! Condon's goal.

:19:03.:19:16.

Lovely run by Ashley Jackson. Condon, it looks like it went back

:19:17.:19:21.

to Phil Roper eventually. That little ball inside to Jackson. Great

:19:22.:19:27.

pressure by England and they get their reward. Ockenden. We think

:19:28.:19:36.

Harry Martin has been awarded the goal. Meanwhile Australia almost

:19:37.:19:44.

scoring another one. Here is the attempt for Australia. That was

:19:45.:19:52.

close. Brogdon gets a chance. Lovely aerial there. It comes down to

:19:53.:20:04.

Brockton. Into the D at speed. A penalty corner. Here it comes,

:20:05.:20:13.

Ciriello's shot. Another penalty corner. Dan Fox got out to that one.

:20:14.:20:28.

Ciriello, goal, 3-1 Australia. England are checking it, I think

:20:29.:20:32.

they want to use their referral. Everybody wants everything checked.

:20:33.:20:38.

It is a good finish. But the question is... It is definitely

:20:39.:20:42.

stopped outside the circle, was there anything going on? It did not

:20:43.:20:46.

look like it. There is nothing blocking that bought all the target

:20:47.:20:52.

of the ball in there. That is the worst news as far as England is

:20:53.:21:02.

concerned. Dan Fox has got an orange top on and they are allowed to do

:21:03.:21:05.

that which means they have an extra outfield player. I guess that means

:21:06.:21:10.

they have two extra outfield players.

:21:11.:21:18.

Desperate measures employed for England in the dying minutes of this

:21:19.:21:26.

match. Chance of a shot. England still looking for that elusive

:21:27.:21:29.

penalty corner. Nothing coming their way. We are into the last minute and

:21:30.:21:40.

a half of this semifinal. This has bounced kindly for Australia, open

:21:41.:21:44.

goal and he scores! Australia finish it off. Eddie Ockenden with the

:21:45.:21:56.

simplest of finishes. That is the danger. If you can get behind that

:21:57.:22:03.

defence into the D. Harry Wear, a vain dive to stop Ockenden putting

:22:04.:22:08.

that ball in the net. This match is all but over. And Australia have

:22:09.:22:18.

demolished England by four goals to one. They will have to regroup and

:22:19.:22:23.

return on Sunday and battle it out for the Commonwealth bronze medal.

:22:24.:22:30.

Disappointment for the England men's hockey team. Andy Halliday

:22:31.:22:36.

took to social media to vent a bit of frustration. He said, desperately

:22:37.:22:40.

disappointed. Short-term though, recover, regroup and debrief.

:22:41.:22:47.

Because don't forget, they have to play for the bronze medal. Who will

:22:48.:22:52.

they take on for that? New Zealand or India? These two teams took the

:22:53.:22:57.

bronze and silver in Delhi four years ago.

:22:58.:23:02.

COMMENTATOR: That is good work, into the shooting circle and what a start

:23:03.:23:15.

for New Zealand. Courtesy of Simon child. New Zealand's penalty corner,

:23:16.:23:25.

already leading by a goal. A chance to get further ahead. Good running

:23:26.:23:33.

and good defence. New Zealand 2-0 India. Penalty stroke. Dean cousins

:23:34.:23:44.

had no option. He tried to play that with his stick. It was a great

:23:45.:23:52.

strike, very powerful. Penalty stroke for India. To be taken by the

:23:53.:23:55.

captain, Singh. Singh wins. Singh gets one back for India. He

:23:56.:24:12.

takes his time and waits to see which way the goalkeeper is going.

:24:13.:24:16.

Manchester decided to commit one way. And Singh went the other. Two

:24:17.:24:22.

minutes of the first half to play. Bursting out of the box that New

:24:23.:24:36.

Zealand created for him and he sets up for a save from Manchester.

:24:37.:24:41.

Wonderful attacking play, led from the back. New Zealand with a chance

:24:42.:24:49.

to break. Hilton all the way forward. That is disappointing.

:24:50.:25:00.

Simon child missing the target but a lovely break by Hilton.

:25:01.:25:10.

Last 20 seconds of the half. New Zealand still in front. Two early

:25:11.:25:17.

goals, standing them in good stead going into half-time.

:25:18.:25:25.

India are not quite finished yet but they might just get beaten by the

:25:26.:25:34.

hooter. They will now. There it is, the half ends with three goals

:25:35.:25:38.

scored. Two for New Zealand and one form India.

:25:39.:25:48.

The half-time score at the Glasgow National Hockey Centre, New Zealand

:25:49.:25:54.

2-1 India. New Zealand looking pretty strong

:25:55.:26:08.

here. Six yellow shirts back to defend.

:26:09.:26:15.

Child over the top this time. Good positioning, he gets himself set

:26:16.:26:26.

that he is still under me that ball, a bit too high. India pressing. It

:26:27.:26:36.

is all square. Great opportunity for a goal. Look at that bit of skill.

:26:37.:26:44.

Look at that. Superb touch, no chance for Manchester. The ball is

:26:45.:26:55.

driven in. Sunil Has got acceleration.

:26:56.:27:33.

India looking for another way through.

:27:34.:27:49.

Strong work again. Another chance for a shot on goal. It has hit the

:27:50.:28:00.

roof of the net. Great ball in here. It popped off cousin's stick. Superb

:28:01.:28:10.

Sunil down the right. Always a put it in the roof of the net.

:28:11.:28:25.

Sunil down the right. Always a frightening prospect for the New

:28:26.:28:27.

Zealand defence, when he arrives at speed. Great control. What a run by

:28:28.:28:37.

Sunil. What pace down the right-hand side. He managed to get round the

:28:38.:28:43.

back of Bradshaw. Finding his way to the front of the goalkeeper. But by

:28:44.:28:47.

then, Manchester had closed down the space and there was very little he

:28:48.:28:51.

could do there. We are into the final quarter of an hour. There was

:28:52.:29:00.

a stick on it but it was behind for India's possession. Lovely ball

:29:01.:29:01.

across. It was Hugo Inglis. New Zealand with ten minutes to try

:29:02.:29:20.

to make a dent in New Zealand... India's lead.

:29:21.:29:29.

to make a dent in New Zealand... Childs. Picked out Hugo Inglis.

:29:30.:29:40.

Alex Shaw was diving and got a touch on it but ended up flying into the

:29:41.:29:49.

keeper. Great trap, chance of a town and a shot, swing and a miss in the

:29:50.:29:55.

end. He pointed where you wanted the ball

:29:56.:29:59.

before it was delivered, picked at that ball beautifully.

:30:00.:30:08.

New Zealand have an extra outfield player on, they have nothing to

:30:09.:30:13.

lose, five minutes to get a goal and force a penalty shoot out.

:30:14.:30:21.

Drilled force a penalty shoot out.

:30:22.:30:24.

in the possession, minutes to go.

:30:25.:30:34.

A great take out of the air, it popped off the stick, making it

:30:35.:30:51.

dangerous. Kangujam, staying in the corner for

:30:52.:31:05.

a few seconds. It is out of play. Although playing without a

:31:06.:31:09.

goalkeeper is a good boy, not many teams practice it. When you get to

:31:10.:31:14.

this situation it is hard to know how to play. -- a good ploy.

:31:15.:31:39.

This might be the last chance for New Zealand. It is held up by India.

:31:40.:31:55.

Less than 30 seconds. ITime running out now.

:31:56.:32:04.

One end of the pitch to the other. Five seconds. They will not be

:32:05.:32:15.

enough time. India are guaranteed a medal. They will face Australia in

:32:16.:32:21.

the final. New Zealand will need to do battle for bronze against

:32:22.:32:27.

England. What a fightback from India. From two town they struck

:32:28.:32:33.

back -- down. They take the win. I don't know about you but I get the

:32:34.:33:11.

feeling they were quite pumped up by that win. While we have been in

:33:12.:33:18.

Glasgow over the last ten days, one of the buzzwords you hear at any

:33:19.:33:28.

major sporting event is, legacy. If you had three miles out of Glasgow

:33:29.:33:34.

to a place called Drumchapel, the hard graft has been going on from

:33:35.:33:40.

well before the Games began. This is a story about a table tennis club

:33:41.:33:47.

that started off with modest means yet has supplied members of the

:33:48.:33:54.

national team. Drumchapel in Glasgow it used to be

:33:55.:33:57.

one of the toughest housing estates in Britain. The area has improved in

:33:58.:34:06.

recent years and the work in the local sports centre has had a

:34:07.:34:11.

massive influence on young people. There can be issues with your

:34:12.:34:16.

family, school, so we are here to back you up. If you want to play

:34:17.:34:22.

table tennis, we will support you. Most kids are OK if you can get them

:34:23.:34:27.

into doing something. The active, get them when they are younger, then

:34:28.:34:31.

by the time they might have gotten into trouble, they are already

:34:32.:34:36.

involved in something. This is a means to a better life. If they get

:34:37.:34:41.

there, I have done the best I can for them.

:34:42.:34:50.

I started when I was 11. I was at college and not doing particularly

:34:51.:34:55.

well. I started coming here and my confidence has been boosted

:34:56.:34:58.

amazingly. It is all thanks to the club.

:34:59.:35:04.

We started with just one table. Now they are all over the place. People

:35:05.:35:10.

ask, how does Terry find all the Scottish champions? It is because we

:35:11.:35:19.

want it. And I wanted for them. The success of the club is

:35:20.:35:23.

undeniable. It is not just helped thousands of youngsters but numerous

:35:24.:35:29.

international players. It has brought me to where I am

:35:30.:35:36.

today. You find that a lot of people who have been in this club, it gets

:35:37.:35:46.

kids off the street. It allows them to open up more and be more

:35:47.:35:50.

sociable. You never see someone sitting in the corner of themselves.

:35:51.:35:55.

They come out of their shells. It is great to see, especially if they

:35:56.:36:01.

come from a troubled background. This level is not all about winning.

:36:02.:36:11.

You will get there, some will not, but from Drumchapel, to being a big

:36:12.:36:17.

part of the Commonwealth, I am proud of what we have done as a community.

:36:18.:36:23.

What sort of things would you be doing if you are not here?

:36:24.:36:29.

No idea. It keeps me young. I am not young,

:36:30.:36:41.

but I feel young. Just look at them. Great story. If you feel inspired to

:36:42.:36:47.

take up any of the sports, including table tennis, just go to our

:36:48.:36:54.

website. You can get details of local clubs you can join. Staying

:36:55.:37:04.

with the table tennis, because it has been a really busy day for the

:37:05.:37:18.

young rich food. -- Liam Pitchford. His opponent, the number one seed

:37:19.:37:25.

from Singapore. This was a bit of an epic. It is all square going into

:37:26.:37:30.

the final, decisive game. Brilliant running backhand that did

:37:31.:38:30.

the damage from Gao Ning. Great recovery.

:38:31.:39:15.

Whatever happens, this must go down as the match of the Men's Singles

:39:16.:39:26.

event. Every point so closely contested.

:39:27.:39:53.

counted the most, Gao Ning. Is he going to draw away from Pitchford

:39:54.:40:01.

here? It has been a sparkling performance from the man in the

:40:02.:40:03.

yellow shirt. Just when you think top seeds can

:40:04.:40:29.

accelerate away, pegged back by the valiant Pitchford.

:40:30.:40:46.

Every point now greeted by a roar from either end of the table.

:40:47.:42:02.

You sense a small laps in focus from Gao Ning as Pitchford bounces back.

:42:03.:42:39.

Hold on, says Gao Ning, I am not ready.

:42:40.:43:15.

A roar from the Singaporean supporters around the campus. The

:43:16.:43:27.

top seed accelerate away again. This is the final and deciding game.

:43:28.:43:37.

The Princess of Paddington and she is up in a few matches time. But

:43:38.:44:07.

here, Gao Ning has match point. He has quite simply played brilliantly

:44:08.:44:08.

at the back end of this game. It is Gao Ning, the top seed, who

:44:09.:44:29.

has earned his place in the final of the Men's Singles with a quite early

:44:30.:44:36.

and victory -- quite brilliant victory over Liam Pitchford.

:44:37.:44:57.

Let's join the squash now. Our commentators are at the Scotstoun

:44:58.:45:06.

sports campus. A little pat on the back there, a

:45:07.:46:09.

couple of errors. Playing a little staccato at the

:46:10.:46:53.

moment. Trying to find their rhythm a little bit.

:46:54.:47:56.

Pallikal had a real thump against the wall, just checking she is all

:47:57.:48:03.

right, she carried on. When you are in the middle of the rally like

:48:04.:48:07.

that, if you go down, your instant reaction is to get straight back up

:48:08.:48:09.

and stay in the rally. Toogood. Brilliant play from the

:48:10.:49:05.

Indian pair. At the moment, they are the more attacking pair out of the

:49:06.:49:13.

two. You can see why the lower tier, the 13 inches, is so important, it

:49:14.:49:17.

really gives you the opportunity to attack the ball like that. It seems

:49:18.:49:26.

the major differences on the left court with Chinappa and Duncalf.

:49:27.:49:32.

Chinappa seems to have the advantage at the moment.

:49:33.:49:41.

APPLAUSE Reactions are particularly important

:49:42.:50:15.

in doubles. A lot of it is reaction or play. When it comes to you that

:50:16.:50:24.

quick, all you can do is get sure racket out and hit

:50:25.:50:26.

quick, all you can do is get sure not have time to think about it.

:50:27.:50:35.

The Indians are now looking to have three points in this opening game.

:50:36.:51:00.

Pallikal would have demanded a stroke. Massaro in front of her

:51:01.:51:14.

carried on and almost paid the price. In doubles, you know you

:51:15.:51:17.

can't as often get that stroke. Well played. Pallikal with a good

:51:18.:51:55.

finish there. And again, attacking play from the Indians. It is what

:51:56.:51:58.

doubles is all about. And awkward turn for Duncalf.

:51:59.:52:29.

Positioning on the court very important. Yes, sometimes when the

:52:30.:52:33.

ball comes around the corner, it is hard to know when to dive. A break

:52:34.:52:46.

for the English. Duncalf responding, recognising this is very difficult.

:52:47.:52:52.

-- the crowd responding now, recognising that this is very

:52:53.:52:53.

difficult. Just a little high for Duncalf.

:52:54.:53:50.

Pallikal with the finish. Four gain points for India. -- gamer points.

:53:51.:54:05.

Pallikal has been the feature player and she finishes it. First game to

:54:06.:54:18.

India. The number five seeds, 11-6. Very impressive indeed. It is

:54:19.:54:21.

interesting, we were talking earlier about how players, pairings, play in

:54:22.:54:29.

certain ways. You can see the English pair, they are very

:54:30.:54:33.

traditional, they are almost playing singles on the doubles court. There

:54:34.:54:38.

is no variety or real shot play, so they are not really attacking the

:54:39.:54:42.

other pair. On the other hand, the Indian pair are looking to attack

:54:43.:54:49.

and go in short. Lets see if we can pick up some of this. Whenever she

:54:50.:55:00.

crosses, don't linger. Put pressure on them. You are putting the

:55:01.:55:07.

pressure on them. Keep playing like that. Maintain the pressure. Push,

:55:08.:55:25.

push, push. Really good. A terrific time out there. You were saying,

:55:26.:55:31.

aggression beyond the attack? I think that is what doubles is all

:55:32.:55:36.

about. For people watching at home, if you go on to play doubles, don't

:55:37.:55:41.

play singles. You have to attack every single opportunity. You must

:55:42.:55:47.

attack and be aggressive, as the Indian coach was saying. Get the

:55:48.:55:52.

ball down the sides, push them back. If you get the chance, take it,

:55:53.:55:57.

don't look at it, take it! And that is what they are doing. If the

:55:58.:56:01.

English pair want to get back into this, they have to try to swap this

:56:02.:56:05.

role around, they have to start attacking and look for the play and

:56:06.:56:14.

create opportunities. It was a comprehensive first game in the end.

:56:15.:56:23.

How will Massaro and Duncalf counter this? Will they take a few more

:56:24.:56:28.

risks? They cannot afford not to. Otherwise they will lose, 2-0. Here

:56:29.:56:41.

we go with game number two. In this gold medal match in the women's

:56:42.:56:47.

doubles. Pallikal and Chinappa for India. Up number one seeds. Laura

:56:48.:56:56.

Massaro and Jenny Duncalf from England. Pallikal and Chinappa to

:56:57.:57:05.

begin game number two. Magnificent rally. They are looking

:57:06.:57:50.

for a let. Interesting, Duncalf looking for

:57:51.:58:23.

that little trickle toast, she was going towards the middle. And

:58:24.:58:29.

Chinappa change to mind and played the drop. Great attacking play. --

:58:30.:58:35.

Chinappa changed her mind. She says it is up.

:58:36.:58:48.

The referee's decision is a let. There was a hint of a double hit and

:58:49.:58:54.

she was convinced it was not. APPLAUSE

:58:55.:59:09.

This is the start the English wanted and the crowd starting to get

:59:10.:59:16.

involved. Duncalf will play this one on the right court.

:59:17.:59:22.

APPLAUSE things suddenly looked as if they

:59:23.:59:29.

might be changing. Super from the English. Doing just

:59:30.:59:55.

what you wanted. It is what they have got to do, they have got to

:59:56.:59:59.

attack. The last three points, they have attacked the ball when the

:00:00.:00:02.

opportunity has come and now they are leading.

:00:03.:00:18.

If she had turned and hit it, it could have been dangerous.

:00:19.:00:34.

She made very few mistakes. Chinappa with one fair. -- there.

:00:35.:01:26.

What play from Duncalf. Not too sure who

:01:27.:01:39.

was going to take that but Duncalf, good decision.

:01:40.:01:55.

Not put off there, Chinappa, wonderful it'll finish in the front

:01:56.:02:06.

court. So cool. -- wonderful little finish.

:02:07.:02:32.

Down it was. Just if you mistakes coming now from the Indian duo. That

:02:33.:02:38.

one from Pallikal. It is 7-2. A little bit of

:02:39.:02:55.

barracking but we are where we should be.

:02:56.:03:16.

It will be fascinating to see how the Indians counter this, if they

:03:17.:03:22.

are able to. They need to hold their nerve.

:03:23.:04:12.

pair. -- it was good play from the Indian pair. Always tough to come

:04:13.:04:21.

back from such a big deficit but they have not been deterred.

:04:22.:04:34.

Massaro not getting out of the way. Obviously, doubles rarely play on

:04:35.:04:43.

the squad circuit. Only the Commonwealth Games and a lead up

:04:44.:04:48.

tournament, so the standard has got better and better as each match has

:04:49.:04:49.

evolved through the stages. No. Their run of points comes to an

:04:50.:05:28.

end. A bit of pressure now for the English girls. Started well and they

:05:29.:05:31.

were being more attacking but the attacking shots are going down at

:05:32.:05:37.

the moment. Four points now on the spin for the Indian pair.

:05:38.:05:54.

Conversation between Massaro and Duncalf. It is interesting to note

:05:55.:06:03.

that they quite often switch which side of the court they are playing

:06:04.:06:05.

on, trying to mix things up. That is a gorgeous shot from

:06:06.:06:31.

Chinappa. She has been on this left court for this whole time, Massaro

:06:32.:06:34.

mostly on the right court but not all of the time. Jemma there was an

:06:35.:06:40.

opportunity for Jenny to go for that drop shot but she chose to drive and

:06:41.:06:41.

she should have dropped. So good. From 7-2 down, India now

:06:42.:07:22.

ahead in this second game. Great finish again from Pallikal. It takes

:07:23.:07:27.

nerves to be a champion. All the girls know that on court but right

:07:28.:07:32.

now, it is that young lady. She is doing the job.

:07:33.:07:44.

Yes. So clever. They have lost their way a little bit in the start of

:07:45.:07:56.

this game but they have come back to the correct tactics and they are

:07:57.:08:01.

just mixing it up dutifully. -- beautifully. Two points from the

:08:02.:08:07.

gold medal. She was racing forward. Can you

:08:08.:08:53.

imagine the pressure they feel under right now?

:08:54.:09:04.

And lumping together between Massaro and Pallikal.

:09:05.:09:18.

No let! Duncalf asking for it but not given. And here are three gold

:09:19.:09:27.

medal points. Not quite. Can the English possibly

:09:28.:09:46.

rescue this right at the death? Wonderful! Two real heroines of

:09:47.:10:27.

India. Pallikal and Chinappa, they were just brilliant. 7-2 down in the

:10:28.:10:37.

second game. They have ended up with the gold medal. India's first ever

:10:38.:10:44.

squash gold medal. Absolutely wonderful. At the start of the

:10:45.:10:49.

tournament, they were looking so strong in the doubles, they looked

:10:50.:10:53.

like they had really been practising the doubles. It was their greatest

:10:54.:10:57.

chance of a medal here at the Commonwealth Games. And they have

:10:58.:11:05.

just proved it. CHEERING Quite often it is not necessarily

:11:06.:11:12.

the singles players, the best singles players that come through in

:11:13.:11:16.

the doubles. It is those that have been practising and learning the

:11:17.:11:20.

tactics of the game and that is just shown by the Indian players. They

:11:21.:11:23.

use the space and the cord beautifully. -- and the court

:11:24.:11:36.

beautifully. Beaming smiles. Pallikal on the left turn down a

:11:37.:11:40.

Bollywood movie role because she wanted to play squash. She will now

:11:41.:11:45.

be as big a star as some of those Bollywood stars. I am guessing she

:11:46.:11:51.

is happy she made that decision. She would not be sitting here right now

:11:52.:11:55.

if she had not. What a proud moment for both of them and for India. Just

:11:56.:12:02.

superb. You have to feel for these two, silver-medallists four years

:12:03.:12:06.

ago in Delhi and silver-medallists again. It is a tough one. They have

:12:07.:12:14.

been there before. But they played singles on a doubles court and you

:12:15.:12:18.

just cannot do that against players that play the doubles game really

:12:19.:12:22.

well. They did not use the space, they did not attack enough or move

:12:23.:12:28.

them around. For a tiny period in that second game, they were

:12:29.:12:31.

attacking more and it made the difference but then they stopped

:12:32.:12:35.

again and that is the result. They used the centre of the court so

:12:36.:12:39.

well. Hitting short down the centre. The Indian pair pulled both Massaro

:12:40.:12:45.

and Duncalf out to the wings and that left the middle part of the

:12:46.:12:49.

court to use and they cannot get to the ball when they are so far wide.

:12:50.:13:07.

space better and you look back and think they were things you could

:13:08.:13:19.

definitely do that were different, but in the heat of the moment, that

:13:20.:13:24.

is doubles and it goes very quickly. It is hard to explain

:13:25.:13:28.

is doubles and it goes very quickly. watching. A silver in Delhi and a

:13:29.:13:31.

silver here, exactly the same competition. Is it a fantastic

:13:32.:13:37.

achievement or really annoying? I will go for the first one. We do not

:13:38.:13:44.

singles specialists? They are not too bad on the single squad either

:14:07.:14:10.

but definitely very dangerous on the doubles court. You have had an

amazing 18 doubles court. You have had an

if we could have won the doubles court. You have had an

today, it would have been the icing on the cake. India were brilliant

:14:22.:14:25.

we are 30 and 31. years later, we are older than them,

these youngsters, it is something we can be proud of. Well done to both

of you and we look forward to seeing you on the podium.

Staying over at Scotstoun sports campus but switching sports to table

tennis, where there is a bronze medal match going on

:15:01.:15:14.

tennis, where there is a bronze Drinkhall and Sibley,

:15:15.:16:12.

Back to level. To the delight of Kelly Sibley. There is Paul

:16:13.:16:53.

Drinkhall, husband of Jo. Luo, the youngest player at the

:16:54.:17:14.

table, on the left of your picture, she qualified for the youth Olympic

:17:15.:17:17.

games which starts on August 17. She is wrestling with the heavy back

:17:18.:17:41.

spin from Joanna Drinkhall. And of course she releases that style of

:17:42.:17:46.

opponent from where she is from -- she rarely sees. A fantastic

:17:47.:18:02.

combination when Sibley is firing on all cylinders. The English duo art

:18:03.:18:17.

of two -- are tough to defeat. They make a good team as do the Drinkhall

:18:18.:18:29.

husband and wife, as we saw earlier, winning a medal in the mixed.

:18:30.:18:40.

Remember, the Canadians were leading 3-1, there has been a shift in

:18:41.:18:49.

momentum. Zhang, trying to claw it back to level.

:18:50.:18:58.

Again, good acceleration from Zhang, she is definitely the captain

:18:59.:19:09.

of the team. Picking those high balls off really well.

:19:10.:20:05.

the 17-year-old, who is just conceding a few unforced errors.

:20:06.:20:14.

First blood to the English team. A race to three games, best of five.

:20:15.:20:36.

Drinkhall and Sibley in good shape, 11 - six. The combination of the

:20:37.:20:49.

extreme top from Sibley, tough to get a read on what is coming next.

:20:50.:20:57.

Nicky Jarvis, coach of the woman. He has a rich sporting heritage running

:20:58.:21:09.

through his family, he is the father of Matt Jarvis, the 28 old West Ham

:21:10.:21:21.

player. Of course, Matt Jarvis had an England cap in 2011. There is a

:21:22.:21:36.

real buzz around the English table tennis players right now after what

:21:37.:21:42.

they did in the mixed event. There is the Canadian team, Terry Alton in

:21:43.:21:54.

the middle. Zhang, and Luo, looking very pensive. The 17-year-old to

:21:55.:22:01.

serve, from the far end of the table.

:22:02.:22:09.

A well blended point from the Canadians. Dealing well with the

:22:10.:22:17.

extreme changes in spin from the English pair.

:22:18.:22:33.

Remember, in the first game, the Canadians raced into a 3-1 lead,

:22:34.:22:39.

then lost their way. two and a half hours on court over

:22:40.:23:28.

the duration of their four Mac matches played to get here.

:23:29.:24:13.

A little lacking commitment last shot.

:24:14.:25:01.

They are a real cagey duo, these two, with a wealth of medal

:25:02.:25:19.

experience between them. Just a blur of red down one end, a bit like a

:25:20.:25:26.

Catherine wheel at a fireworks party, Sibley, full of energy and

:25:27.:25:33.

desperate for another medal to add to her telly.

:25:34.:25:49.

Zhang, with the second of the two conflab. They are in a good place, a

:25:50.:26:22.

game to the good. It sat up and you need to dictate these heavily spun

:26:23.:26:28.

oncoming balls. Great play at the back end of this

:26:29.:27:37.

came from the Canadians. I watched Zhang in some singles matches,

:27:38.:27:42.

came from the Canadians. I watched Zhang in some singles she defeated

:27:43.:27:51.

the 15th seed from New Zealand. So, the English team have called a

:27:52.:27:59.

time-out. That will be Nicky Jarvis, whilst they are in the

:28:00.:28:03.

ascendancy, deciding on a great time to do it. He does not want to let

:28:04.:28:12.

this situation slide. Some examples of the extreme different shots

:28:13.:28:19.

between the English duo. Look at the heavy spin from Drinkhall, and its

:28:20.:28:29.

effect. Another chop from her, and then the heavy loop from Sibley. It

:28:30.:28:38.

is very tough, as opponents, to play against both those extremes.

:28:39.:28:47.

Still game point. The quest for bronze. Good return from Zhang, it

:28:48.:29:04.

cut through the table very fast. Very much the captain of the team,

:29:05.:29:07.

Zhang. Two points clear, remember, to win

:29:08.:29:15.

the game, from 10-10. the served to go so she can make the

:29:16.:29:59.

first strike attack. A great return from Anqi Luo and they lost the

:30:00.:30:09.

point none the same. They are two thirds of the way to the B for

:30:10.:30:27.

bronze. Mickey Jarvis, delighted. If you did not see our earlier

:30:28.:30:33.

coverage, Joanna Drinkhall, won the mixed doubles and her partner took

:30:34.:30:40.

the bronze in the mixed doubles with Danny Wead. And Tin-Tin Ho and Liam

:30:41.:30:46.

Pitchford took the silver to cap it all. A clean medal sweep for the

:30:47.:30:53.

English in mixed doubles earlier today. Remarkable. History was made

:30:54.:31:04.

today. Sibley bouncing around with bundles of energy. This is the last

:31:05.:31:10.

day of the table tennis event. Tin-Tin Ho, the adventures, there

:31:11.:31:17.

she is with a mouthful! Just refuelling. She has worked very,

:31:18.:31:22.

very hard. 15 years old, what a future she has.

:31:23.:31:40.

The idea was right from Kelly Sibley, she had to go after it.

:31:41.:31:47.

There is Paul Drinkhall in the back of the picture. In his red and white

:31:48.:31:49.

tracksuit. Suddenly, the body language looks a

:31:50.:32:40.

little deflated from the Canadians as they head towards a time-out

:32:41.:32:52.

called. Their coach is the mother of Anqi Luo on the right of the picture

:32:53.:32:54.

as well as the team coach. Let's look at what they are up

:32:55.:33:08.

against a day. The heavy knife slice from Joe Drinkhall and then the flat

:33:09.:33:17.

or topspin loops from Sibley. Two extremes, very tough to play

:33:18.:33:21.

against. You can see the error there will stop drawn from the English

:33:22.:33:30.

team. To her frustration. She is one for stamping her feet on the floor,

:33:31.:33:32.

is Zhang. Great play from Zhang. That was a

:33:33.:33:55.

well constructed point, plenty of spin on those balls from Zhang.

:33:56.:34:35.

Wow, now that is one way to kill the point. CHUCKLES

:34:36.:34:45.

Menacing finish. A heavy, heavy slice but it landed right in the

:34:46.:34:48.

belly of the table and sat up and got what it deserved. She almost had

:34:49.:34:51.

a late lunch! Canadians ramping up the power now.

:34:52.:35:02.

Rushing the English pair. Very cagey punt from both sides of

:35:03.:35:30.

the net. But the women in red coming good in the end. Great accuracy.

:35:31.:35:51.

these points are cushy knows it is the last chance saloon. The English

:35:52.:35:57.

are just compounding the pressure. Fabulous return from Kelly Sibley.

:35:58.:36:06.

Onto it in a heartbeat. Confidence allowing the English duo

:36:07.:36:54.

to play with a little bit more freedom. A little bit more pop to

:36:55.:37:01.

everything they do now. freedom. A little bit more pop to

:37:02.:37:07.

enough topspin on that one though. Keeping the energy up in

:37:08.:37:53.

camp as the Canadians are reducing the deficit here, scrapping well.

:37:54.:38:01.

The youngsters showing a lot of tenacity here.

:38:02.:38:05.

the deficit here, scrapping well. The youngsters showing And a little

:38:06.:38:08.

bit of luck with the edge ball, just finding the paint on the end nine.

:38:09.:38:12.

-- line. That, they cannot afford, and

:38:13.:38:30.

certainly not at this stage. They have had a real stranglehold over

:38:31.:38:35.

this game from the off but the Canadians doing well to wrestle the

:38:36.:38:36.

advantage they way. Kelly Sibley had a chance but she

:38:37.:38:51.

hesitated. Just prodded it back only for the Canadians to take advantage.

:38:52.:38:58.

Game point to Canada. They are still in it, the Canadians.

:38:59.:39:17.

They have won the third game out here, 11-8.

:39:18.:39:41.

The coach and mother to Anqi Luo, giving wise words.

:39:42.:40:11.

Here is how the Canadians sadly in this last game, are dealing with

:40:12.:40:17.

Joanna Drinkhall's slice. That was not a great example because it was

:40:18.:40:22.

so short but there is another, right through the middle of the table, it

:40:23.:40:26.

has got to be deeper than that. Zhang getting on the front foot

:40:27.:40:29.

quite a lot in that last game. Fabulous start down the parallel.

:40:30.:41:00.

Watch how she gets hold of this, her body weight just leaning through it.

:41:01.:41:12.

Generally, the Canadians are asking a lot more questions than the

:41:13.:41:18.

English women now. It is a much more even contest.

:41:19.:41:51.

game, the Canadians racing away to a three - one lead. At this stage, it

:41:52.:41:55.

is about here year where they lost their momentum. They have to keep up

:41:56.:41:56.

that good work and build. Brilliant combo from the win in red.

:41:57.:42:28.

-- the women in red. Watch how much chop Drinkhall gets on that. And

:42:29.:42:34.

then the follow up from the killer. Killer Kelly.

:42:35.:42:46.

She was moaning that error. Drinkhall. Chuntering to herself.

:42:47.:42:53.

They cannot believe they missed it. Brilliant put away from Kelly

:42:54.:43:33.

Sibley. A response to drink all's heavy, knife slice, they have to hit

:43:34.:43:40.

with loop and it just sits up high after the bounce, much to the

:43:41.:43:42.

delight of the blond haired Kelly Sibley.

:43:43.:44:20.

feint edge ball. Alan Hopkins, well aware that it just kissed the edge

:44:21.:44:37.

of the table. Sibley, just tying up Zhang, who is always a very animated

:44:38.:44:43.

when she was a point. In contrast, the coach is not.

:44:44.:45:08.

A packed house at Scotstoun for this women's doubles bronze medal match.

:45:09.:45:24.

The goal match up next after this -- gold. The final will be between the

:45:25.:45:43.

top two seeds, Singapore versus Australia.

:45:44.:46:15.

Brilliantly put together point! constructed. Real extreme shots from

:46:16.:46:35.

the English duo, heavy top two finish.

:46:36.:46:47.

Nicky Jarvis, incessantly chewing gum. Ala Alex Ferguson.

:46:48.:47:08.

By Drinkhall's high standards, she has made a few unforced errors in

:47:09.:47:31.

this game. Great play, Luo. Just trying to keep their energy levels

:47:32.:47:33.

up. Critical moments in the match.

:47:34.:47:58.

Mixed Doubles event earlier, Tense, cagey

:47:59.:48:24.

the moment. It Tense, cagey

:48:25.:48:33.

your strengths against your opponents weaknesses. Consistency

:48:34.:48:39.

has to be there. Again, the telling slice, cut from

:48:40.:49:06.

Drinkhall, yielding the error from Zhang. Bronze medal point for the

:49:07.:49:50.

Ever so feint edge there, just completely falling away. That is

:49:51.:50:01.

cruel. Game point to the Canadians. We said at the outset of this

:50:02.:50:22.

tournament that matches like this are decided by the smallest

:50:23.:50:26.

increments. A millimetre here or there. And edge ball, like on the

:50:27.:50:36.

penultimate point. A laps in concentration. Tied now at 12-12.

:50:37.:51:03.

Second game point for the Canadians. Sibley's serve. Well

:51:04.:51:17.

played, Canada. That was a terrific game from them. They fended off a

:51:18.:51:25.

match point. We now go the distance on table one. 2-2. The vital fifth

:51:26.:51:33.

game will be played in a couple of minutes.

:51:34.:51:51.

Brilliantly played game point from the Canadians. Luo, just sticking

:51:52.:52:03.

the knife in. Suddenly, all the momentum they build early in the

:52:04.:52:13.

match, 11-6, 12-10 out, it has now dissipated and we have parity.

:52:14.:53:02.

They are having to ill from a fresh start -- build. Off to a flyer.

:53:03.:53:19.

Sibley, pacing around anxiously. She can feel this lead just sleeping

:53:20.:54:31.

like sand through her fingertips. -- seeping. Greeted with a roar. They

:54:32.:54:37.

both understand the significance of these individual points. As he does,

:54:38.:54:45.

as well. Absolutely transfixed by the action on table one down below

:54:46.:54:47.

him. Shaking her head in disbelief,

:54:48.:55:38.

Joanna Drinkhall. Unusually for her, normally so solid all-round. She is

:55:39.:55:43.

just making a a few unforced errors today.

:55:44.:55:50.

That ball just deviated from left to right on our picture, from

:55:51.:56:03.

Drinkhall. She had so much cut on it. You feel for her, actually. That

:56:04.:56:21.

was a tough, tough shot. Brilliant point from the Canadians. Redeeming

:56:22.:56:27.

themselves after the penultimate point. Zhang, so compact in her

:56:28.:56:42.

take-back. Just one point between them, in favour of the Canadians, in

:56:43.:56:45.

this vital fifth game. This is what it is all about, the

:56:46.:57:46.

bronze medal match of the women's doubles.

:57:47.:58:20.

Requiring another good serve to draw level. Fantastic play from Zhang,

:58:21.:58:34.

ever alert, she has been right on top of the table to great effect.

:58:35.:58:39.

Look how quickly she pounces. That was never coming back.

:58:40.:58:55.

Another example of the inexperience against the heavy slice. Luo, where

:58:56.:59:06.

she is from, she does not see a lot of this, and it is for -- for.

:59:07.:59:33.

Tonight really good points from Drinkhall.

:59:34.:00:15.

Tonight really good points from vital game. That is three points,

:00:16.:00:18.

indicating how tense she is right now. As the bronze medal seems to be

:00:19.:00:33.

so close. The pressure paralyse is -- paralyses some people. It brings

:00:34.:00:45.

out the best in him. Having saved a match point, the Canadians, in the

:00:46.:00:48.

fourth game, they now have a match point of their own.

:00:49.:00:58.

Looking good there. Just solid. So they now have a second match point.

:00:59.:01:46.

Remember, they saved one in the fourth game.

:01:47.:01:58.

CHEERING The Canadians are the bronze

:01:59.:02:10.

medallists in the women's doubles event. Delight and disappointment,

:02:11.:02:23.

the twin emotions out here. What a day for these two, they played so

:02:24.:02:27.

well to turn it around and they are just elated. Fantastic work from

:02:28.:02:33.

them. They saved a match point and they took it on their own, the

:02:34.:02:39.

second match point. 3-2, the Canadians go through. I am looking

:02:40.:02:46.

at you shaking your head, that says it all? It is disappointing to be so

:02:47.:02:54.

close. We had the lead, we were 2-0 up and they improved their game

:02:55.:02:58.

after that. We failed to pick it back up again. That's it, to be

:02:59.:03:05.

honest. Three difficult matches, how much did fatigue play a part? Not

:03:06.:03:16.

really, you can yourself up, and they upped their game. -- you can

:03:17.:03:22.

gee yourself up. How disappointing is it to miss out on this medal? It

:03:23.:03:30.

would have been nice to go out with two. Iron devastated but it is one

:03:31.:03:36.

of those things, I guess. -- I am. Can you sum up the Games? It has

:03:37.:03:41.

been a positive gains that space Games. It has been really good. --

:03:42.:03:52.

it has been a positive Games. You think you have no chance in a

:03:53.:03:58.

match... It was so close. Congratulations on a fantastic

:03:59.:04:04.

Games. Bad luck for team England as far as the table tennis there is

:04:05.:04:07.

concerned. We will be back in a couple of minutes but right now it

Games, Day ten of the competition, the penultimate day. It is such a

:06:40.:06:44.

shame that the sun has disappeared, it is starting to rain. That has

:06:45.:06:49.

been the story of the day so far. I suppose we have found sanctuary here

:06:50.:06:56.

at Pacific Quay. As I mentioned earlier it has not dampened any of

:06:57.:06:59.

the fuse Yaz as far as the locals are concerned, we are still taking

in plenty of drama. -- as far as the locals. Plenty of home interest with

Ross Blair of Scotland, taking on Lai Pei Jing and pence in jam. It is

:07:19.:07:29.

happening right now. Commentary from Frost and Mercer.

:07:30.:07:37.

COMMENTATOR: I cannot help but wonder whether the fact that the

:07:38.:07:43.

Malaysians have three times been taken to three games, of course the

:07:44.:07:49.

semifinal they ended up losing. But they have still had to play three

:07:50.:07:53.

games three times whereas the Scottish pair only once have they

:07:54.:07:58.

been taken the full distance and I wonder whether the accumulation of

:07:59.:08:01.

tiredness on the Malaysians may take its toll.

:08:02.:08:14.

In addition of course, Lei has been playing in two events and has been

:08:15.:08:29.

losing in the women's doubles. In that regard it is stacked against

:08:30.:08:35.

the Malaysians, isn't it? That was just long. Andy Berman is making

:08:36.:08:46.

notes. While we have a moment we should

:08:47.:09:33.

mention the gold medal match is an All-England affair. Chris Langridge

:09:34.:09:58.

and Heather Olver. Once again it is a lovely change of pace from Imogen

:09:59.:10:05.

Bankier. That section of the court is where they are doing the damage.

:10:06.:10:09.

It gives the Malaysians nothing to feed off. They have to generate

:10:10.:10:13.

their own pace. And in doing so, lifting it long. A really tight

:10:14.:10:32.

first half of the first game, lifting it long. A really tight

been more than a single point between the pairs. That was clever.

:10:37.:11:26.

It is very important and significant that the Scots won it.

The normal reason that the umpire calls the players is to suggest that

:11:56.:12:03.

they are taking too much time between the rallies. Again, that was

:12:04.:12:11.

too between the rallies. Again, that was

:12:12.:12:18.

flat from Chan. A useful 2-point advantage at the mid-game interval

:12:19.:12:27.

for Blair and Imogen Bankier. These are the Malaysian coaches.

:12:28.:12:57.

UMPIRE: 20 seconds, 20 seconds. Andy Berman, coaching the Scottish

:12:58.:13:52.

couple. Well, that was a real chance with the crosscourt. Yes, it's a

:13:53.:13:58.

pity because I thought earlier with the crosscourt. Yes, it's a

:13:59.:14:02.

the rally that Imogen Bankier had got back that spark that we saw

:14:03.:14:06.

earlier, especially during the mixed team competition. This morning in

:14:07.:14:14.

her semifinal she did get a little flat, a little frustrated with

:14:15.:14:15.

herself. Malaysians have had a two point

:14:16.:15:45.

advantage. On five of the last six points. He

:15:46.:15:54.

has missed at! I think it might develop into a

:15:55.:16:44.

battle between the to match winning at the front of the court, once

:16:45.:16:49.

again. Whoever can control the front court area, the net...

:16:50.:17:04.

Four straight points for the Scots. It is OK for length, but it was

:17:05.:18:22.

wide. Keir Starmer. He is all right, I

:18:23.:18:45.

think. He just lost his balance. I do not think he has twisted his

:18:46.:18:50.

ankle. He looks to be OK. He looks to be walking OK. I think he just

:18:51.:18:51.

lost his balance. That is going to go wide as well.

:18:52.:20:02.

Good placement of the attacking smashes from the back of the court

:20:03.:20:06.

from Robert Blair, but look at Imogen Bankier's movement of the

:20:07.:20:11.

shuttle. It is absolutely superb. She's always adjusting her position,

:20:12.:20:18.

really hunting to look for the shuttlecocks, and the way she is

:20:19.:20:21.

taking the pace out is just brilliant.

:20:22.:20:43.

Seven of the last eight points have been one won by the Scots.

:20:44.:21:08.

It is going wide. And he knows it. He has realised it.

:21:09.:21:34.

Immediately looks down towards the line. Just trying to get his spatial

:21:35.:21:48.

awareness. Good return. It takes them into three game points.

:21:49.:22:05.

The first game is won by Robert Blair and Imogen Bankier, 21-17.

:22:06.:22:28.

The first game is won by Robert 12-15 down, they looked in trouble.

:22:29.:22:40.

When you get them off-balance... Step in to take away from it. They

:22:41.:22:50.

are trying to turn it. Well I hope you can pick up some of

:22:51.:23:06.

what the coaches are saying. It is difficult to here with all these

:23:07.:23:07.

announcements. From the hand gestures, it looks as

:23:08.:23:29.

if the Malaysian coach wants Lai Pei Jing to hunt for the push down

:23:30.:23:37.

around the head side. Especially after she has blocked it at the net.

:23:38.:24:25.

Looking for that push down her back and decide is what the coach, the

:24:26.:24:36.

Malaysian coach, was telling her to look out for, and she missed it on

:24:37.:24:37.

the first point of the second game. Well played by Lai Pei Jing.

:24:38.:25:05.

Backhand side to that, around the head position. It is about time she

:25:06.:25:07.

was alert to it. She has served very well throughout

:25:08.:25:18.

the tournament, Lai Pei Jing. Good work, especially by Imogen

:25:19.:25:38.

Bankier. I think just a little block would

:25:39.:26:13.

have sufficed, rather than trying to put a bit of pace on it.

:26:14.:27:20.

The Malaysians need to rethink the game plan of blocking the initial

:27:21.:27:45.

one from Chan Peng Soon. Both the Scottish players are looking to come

:27:46.:27:49.

forward. We have seen it from Imogen Bankier already, but that time it

:27:50.:27:50.

was Robert Blair. Has missed it. Serious faces on the Malaysian

:27:51.:28:01.

bench. Real hesitation on the defence there

:28:02.:28:54.

from Chan Peng Soon. Was he expecting his partner to take it? He

:28:55.:28:58.

is talking to her and saying, you have got to move your base further

:28:59.:29:02.

across towards the centre of the court.

:29:03.:29:45.

awfully careful here. They cannot let the Scottish combination get too

:29:46.:29:49.

far in front, because with the home support, they will find it difficult

:29:50.:29:50.

to come back. It had a think about it, didn't it?

:29:51.:30:04.

Coming down on the Malaysian side. Well, I wonder if the Malaysians

:30:05.:30:31.

have been instructed to play the return of serve deep into the back

:30:32.:30:35.

boxes. That is a couple we have seen now and it has worked both times.

:30:36.:30:47.

Lovely interception by Imogen Bankier. They have a large lead at

:30:48.:31:36.

the interval. Six points. .. Smashing is not very hard... The

:31:37.:31:47.

forehand side... Just comes into the short... Waiting for it...

:31:48.:32:00.

UMPIRE: 20 seconds, 20 seconds. .. So much better, dominating from the

:32:01.:32:08.

A tired looking Chan, there. The word go...

:32:09.:32:46.

A tired looking Chan, there. The instruction from the coaches was, to

:32:47.:32:50.

the Scottish player, dominate from the start of the resumption, Imogen

:32:51.:32:58.

Bankier is to go forward to the net and advising Blair about varying the

:32:59.:33:03.

shots and angle when hitting down. Out! And the lead is up to nine

:33:04.:33:20.

points. CHEERING

:33:21.:34:31.

Well, that is exactly what the coaches were asking for,

:34:32.:34:34.

concentrating on the angle of the smash. An acute angle rather than

:34:35.:34:41.

full power, using his height, leaping in the air.

:34:42.:34:59.

CHEERING Well, this is devastating now.

:35:00.:35:36.

Could not get out of the way, Imogen Bankier.

:35:37.:35:55.

That was a good serve. GROANS FROM CROWD

:35:56.:36:04.

Again, fatal hesitation. And confusion. But they are still nine

:36:05.:36:13.

points in front and that should be enough.

:36:14.:36:22.

APPLAUSE Well, another error from Lai Pei

:36:23.:37:17.

Jing. CHEERING Yes, the service errors are coming

:37:18.:37:26.

rather rapidly. These are 11 bronze medal points for Blair and Bankier.

:37:27.:37:42.

That was a pity. My word, that was close. It was a

:37:43.:38:41.

wonderful shot from Chan Peng Soon. The Malaysians have been on the

:38:42.:38:42.

attack. CHEERING

:38:43.:39:09.

Yes! Into the open space. APPLAUSE Imogen Bankier, who decided to leave

:39:10.:39:47.

the Great Britain set up and move back to Scotland. She will feel now

:39:48.:39:54.

that that decision has been fully vindicated. 21-17, 21-11. Scotland

:39:55.:40:07.

have a second medal from the badminton competition because

:40:08.:40:12.

remember Kirsty Gilmour goes for goal to in the women's singles

:40:13.:40:21.

tomorrow. -- gold. Heartbreak for Chan and Lai, they played so well in

:40:22.:40:26.

this magnificent match. Putting out the second Singaporean partnership.

:40:27.:40:35.

21-19 in their quarterfinal, and that took an awful lot out of them.

:40:36.:40:44.

Well, what character, to come through that match by Blair and

:40:45.:40:50.

Bankier. The emotion at the end, really revealing, just how much that

:40:51.:41:04.

meant to them. Well, as they pose for the photographers, the counters

:41:05.:41:13.

of Wessex -- Countess. Giving them a standing ovation along with the

:41:14.:41:16.

other dignitaries here at the Emirates arena. STUDIO: Many

:41:17.:41:30.

congratulations to Imogen Bankier and Robert Blair, picking a bronze.

:41:31.:41:37.

Adding to the hall at Scotland's best ever Commonwealth Games

:41:38.:41:44.

showing. Very well done to them. -- haul. That an ultimate day of the

:41:45.:41:50.

Commonwealth Games and even before the games had started, Day ten was

:41:51.:41:55.

always seen as a potentially historic day over at the SECC

:41:56.:41:58.

because everyone was waiting with baited breath to see who would take

:41:59.:42:03.

the crown, the first female Commonwealth boxing champion because

:42:04.:42:07.

of course boxing, women's boxing is making its debut at the games.

:42:08.:42:12.

Potentially up for the title was Nicola Adams who made all of the

:42:13.:42:16.

headlines at London 2012 two years ago, and she was taking on Michaela

:42:17.:42:21.

Walsh from Northern Ireland. Lucy O'Connor and Rob McIntosh were at

:42:22.:42:22.

ringside. BELL

:42:23.:42:34.

COMMENTATOR: Here we go, the first four, two minute rounds. It is being

:42:35.:42:42.

contested between England and Northern Ireland. The boxer wearing

:42:43.:42:48.

blue, straight left hand to end the opening combination, Nicola Adams,

:42:49.:42:53.

the reigning Olympic champion. Her opponent is 20-year-old Michaela

:42:56.:42:59.

The three-time Irish national champion. Taking those titles in

:43:00.:43:06.

2011, 13 and 14. A huge moment for her. Such an iconic figure in the

:43:07.:43:15.

realm of Olympic boxing. Michaela Walsh confidently claimed the centre

:43:16.:43:19.

of the ring at the start of the bout, snapping out her jabbed

:43:20.:43:21.

effectively but Nicola Adams bout, snapping out her jabbed

:43:25.:43:31.

of taking a half step back and catching her as she dives in with

:43:32.:43:32.

her head. It is the fourth catching her as she dives in with

:43:33.:43:41.

for both of these women during the course of this flyweight

competition. Both boxers are content course of this flyweight

:43:43.:43:55.

centre of the ring. Plenty of feints being thrown, they are looking for

:43:56.:43:59.

something to trigger a counter from. Both boxers are using that as a

:44:00.:44:05.

rangefinder, textbook exchange. That was a clean shot again, the final

:44:06.:44:10.

left hand was landed by Adams. Walsh is on the retreat, on the back foot,

:44:11.:44:15.

she is skimming the ropes. At the perimeter of the boxing ring. Good

:44:16.:44:20.

she is skimming the ropes. At the use of the jabs by both boxers, both

:44:21.:44:24.

trying to find their range, they are happy to counter, good combinations

:44:25.:44:30.

are being thrown and landed by both. Over the top, twice successful. The

:44:31.:44:36.

final combination attempt by Michaela Walsh. The end of the first

:44:37.:44:46.

round, a competitive affair, but the more eye-catching work coming from

:44:47.:44:53.

the boxer in blue. The rear hand landed quite cleanly from Nicola

:44:54.:44:54.

Adams. She is finishing landed quite cleanly from Nicola

:44:55.:44:59.

:45:00.:45:05.

combinations and did so with the Adams, although they did exchange,

:45:06.:45:08.

she comes off the better in those combinations, although she got a

:45:09.:45:14.

cheeky left hook thereby Walsh. The ten point system is in use here at

:45:15.:45:16.

this tournament. Five judges are at ten point system is in use here at

:45:17.:45:22.

the ringside. The winning boxer of the round must get ten. The losing

:45:23.:45:28.

boxer must get anywhere from six up to nine. The judges were selected

:45:29.:45:32.

randomly prior to the opening bell without their knowledge, and it is

:45:33.:45:37.

those scores that will be determined to decide the outcome of the

:45:38.:45:39.

contest. A beautiful corkscrew left hand from

:45:40.:45:50.

Nicola Adams, who has started this second round in much brisker fashion

:45:51.:45:57.

than the first. Left-hand to the body was successful, and Michaela

:45:58.:45:59.

Walsh is looking to find her range, but being deterred from throwing

:46:00.:46:08.

punches. Better rhythm by Nicola Adams, finding her way into this

:46:09.:46:16.

fight. Lovely rear hand landed there. Walsh

:46:17.:46:29.

got her legs in a bit of a tangle, but is now beyond harm's way as she

:46:30.:46:34.

took a straight shot from Adams. The referee is allowing the boxes to

:46:35.:46:46.

work away, Nicola Adams trying to do so, whilst content to hold on. The

:46:47.:46:52.

referee finally intervenes and she is giving a talking to by the

:46:53.:46:55.

referee about holding. Excessive holding will result in point to

:46:56.:47:02.

addiction -- point deduction. In these closing seconds, the boxes

:47:03.:47:17.

are again exchanging jabs in the centre of the ring, but Nicola Adams

:47:18.:47:21.

Baggies is a straight left. Good left-hand to the body from Adams. On

:47:22.:47:34.

the jab once again... BELL RINGS. Michaela Walsh nods as she returns

:47:35.:47:38.

to her corner, but I suspect she will be on the losing end of that

:47:39.:47:42.

one. Nicola Adams had a brisk start of that round and had the better of

:47:43.:47:49.

the exchanges that interviewed. Positive end to that round from

:47:50.:47:53.

Michaela Walsh. She caught Nicola Adams with some nice clean shots

:47:54.:48:02.

just on the bell. Nicola Adams just edged the more eye-catching

:48:03.:48:07.

exchanges. We can bring you the scores after the conclusion of the

:48:08.:48:10.

opening round, but I'm sure if we receive them here, it will include

:48:11.:48:13.

the totals from the first round as well. Again, just a bit of a problem

:48:14.:48:20.

bringing you the scores, but from my point of view, it is this boxer,

:48:21.:48:25.

Nicola Adams, who has taken the opening two rounds, but there are

:48:26.:48:28.

three judges seated at the ringside whose scores count. They all have

:48:29.:48:33.

different vantage points around the ring. The women's 51 kilograms

:48:34.:48:41.

flyweight final. Nicola Adams is representing England and has won so

:48:42.:48:46.

many medals in competitions around the world, Olympic champion,

:48:47.:48:51.

European champion in 2011. A rather untidy tumble to the canvas for both

:48:52.:48:57.

boxes. Numerous national titles from the boxer from Leeds, 31 years old

:48:58.:49:03.

now. And Michaela Walsh is an athlete at the opposite end of the

:49:04.:49:08.

experience spectrum, just 22 years old. She has had success at Youth

:49:09.:49:19.

League -- level. Walsh is not making it easy for Adams in this round. She

:49:20.:49:23.

is causing Nicola Adams to miss and has caught a few times on the

:49:24.:49:27.

counter. A good performance in this round by Michaela Walsh.

:49:28.:49:32.

In the second half of this round, both boxers at close quarters. More

:49:33.:49:48.

success as Walsh takes another right hand over the top, then a left hand.

:49:49.:49:56.

Nicola Adams temporarily switches to Southport while she uses her legs to

:49:57.:49:58.

good effect. -- southpaw. Nicola Adams is generally having the

:49:59.:50:15.

first and last word in any exchange. She stepped in and scores a long

:50:16.:50:17.

left just above the belt line. Flailing shots with the boxers

:50:18.:50:32.

exchanging Mrs to enter third round. Again, it was Nicola Adams he

:50:33.:50:40.

caught the eye with the cleaner worked during the course of the

:50:41.:50:46.

third round. Michaela Walsh did have her moments as well. Dave Galloway

:50:47.:50:52.

is issuing the instructions to Nicola Adams in that corner. He was

:50:53.:50:57.

the coach of the year 2012. Michaela Walsh leading there. One of the only

:50:58.:51:06.

clean shots in that band, not a great deal, lots of clenching, not a

:51:07.:51:14.

lot of work on the inside. Both these boxers are counter boxers,

:51:15.:51:17.

waiting for the other to find the gaps. A sense of urgency will be

:51:18.:51:26.

greater in the red corner as the boxers right in anticipation of the

:51:27.:51:30.

bell for the fourth and final round. Into the fourth round we go,

:51:31.:51:35.

the 51 kilograms flyweight final. A rousing reception for these boxers

:51:36.:51:41.

as they begin this final session in pursuit of the gold medal. Nicola

:51:42.:51:45.

Adams is wearing blue. Hot on her toes, on the back foot, Michaela

:51:46.:51:48.

Walsh is hammering away with shots to the body, and the fighters were

:51:49.:51:55.

at close quarters. 30 seconds gone in this opening round, and it is

:51:56.:51:59.

Michaela Walsh on the front foot. Nicola Adams is confident in the

:52:00.:52:01.

knowledge that she is comfortably ahead, happy to keep it beyond

:52:02.:52:09.

range. And away from the aggressive intent of Michaela Walsh. Walsh,

:52:10.:52:18.

commanding centre ring, right hand attempted by Adams, went over the

:52:19.:52:23.

shoulder of Walsh. Adams is currently operating out of the

:52:24.:52:26.

orthodox stance, stepping in with a jab, effective. A furious exchange

:52:27.:52:34.

at close quarters. Adams tied up her opponent and marches her back to the

:52:35.:52:38.

red corner. Gives a couple of left-hands. The referee gives Adams

:52:39.:52:42.

a talking to. We are in the final minute of the final round. She has

:52:43.:52:46.

got to up the tempo if she's going to make an impression on the judges.

:52:47.:52:51.

She has got to make it clear in this round. Probably just stand in the

:52:52.:52:54.

centre and counter will not do it. Adams is making it difficult for her

:52:55.:53:01.

to do so. We are in the final 30 seconds. Walsh is back onto the

:53:02.:53:12.

front foot. " As, the boxes -- close quarters, the boxers are trading

:53:13.:53:16.

blows. Nicola Adams will need one shot to bring about a finish. Not a

:53:17.:53:20.

common occurrence in women's Olympic boxing. Boxers are in a clinch. Both

:53:21.:53:34.

boxers raise their arms immediately. Wonderful accomplishment from

:53:35.:53:37.

Michaela Walsh, but I expect it is Nicola Adams, despite the warm

:53:38.:53:43.

embrace Michaela Walsh is receiving from her corner. I suspect it is for

:53:44.:53:47.

a job well done for even making it to this final, but from my vantage

:53:48.:53:51.

point, it is Nicola Adams who has secured Commonwealth gold here this

:53:52.:53:54.

afternoon. Rather untidy final round. Aust remained patient. That

:53:55.:53:59.

was the pick of her punches for the entire contest, straight right

:54:00.:54:02.

hand, landing flush on entire contest, straight right

:54:03.:54:06.

Michaela Walsh said it would be a dream come true to meet Nicola

:54:07.:54:09.

Adams, they are the champion, in the ring today. She certainly was not

:54:10.:54:13.

starstruck. She started confidently and gave Adams a run for her money.

:54:14.:54:19.

It will be close. Nicola Adams, the world number one, Michaela Walsh,

:54:20.:54:24.

the 14th ranked boxer in the world at 51 kilograms, awaiting the

:54:25.:54:27.

official announcement at this Commonwealth Games gold medal fight.

:54:28.:54:33.

We get into the ring with our judges' scorecard. We have a split

:54:34.:54:39.

decision. In favour of the winner, she is now gold-medallist and

:54:40.:54:42.

Commonwealth women's flyweight champion. In the blue corner,

:54:43.:54:55.

representing England, Nicola Adams! Unconfined joy expressed by Nicola

:54:56.:54:56.

Adams. The boxer from Unconfined joy expressed by Nicola

completed a historic double at the Hydro. She has just become the

Adams, the banks of the River Clyde. Nicola

Commonwealth Games gold, and this is what it means to her. This, a boxer

:55:28.:55:34.

who loves occupying top spot on the podium. Heartbreak for Michaela

:55:35.:55:39.

Walsh. She can't believe it, but how well she has acquitted herself

:55:40.:55:41.

of competing in the first-ever fight of Commonwealth Games boxing

history. She made it through to the first-ever final,

:55:55.:55:59.

but ultimately, she was vanquished and had pointed. She comes away with

But it is Nicola and had pointed. She comes away with

:56:31.:56:36.

fight itself. What you think has happened to women's boxing in

general since you weren't in London? I forget has excelled. The

competition has improved and the girls are getting more talented all

:56:49.:56:53.

participants as well. What you feel you're responsible it is as well?

:56:54.:56:59.

Will you go on to Rio? Definitely! I would love to do that. I would like

:57:00.:57:04.

to inspire the next generation, which I have already started doing.

:57:05.:57:08.

It is nice to see a lot more boys and girls getting involved in

:57:09.:57:12.

boxing. I love the sport so much, it makes me feel really happy. I am

:57:13.:57:15.

sure you are going to take a break, but have you got anything coming up?

:57:16.:57:24.

Yes, I am going to take some resting rest and relax, then back in the gym

:57:25.:57:29.

again. Congratulations. And in the ring, imminently... Just like two

:57:30.:57:38.

years ago at the London Olympics, when I had the privilege of being

:57:39.:57:42.

there, Nicola Adams picked up her gold medal. This time, not Olympic

:57:43.:57:48.

gold, but Commonwealth gold. She made history earlier today as the

:57:49.:57:55.

Commonwealth Games' first ever Commonwealth boxing champion. That

:57:56.:57:58.

infectious smile is back for everyone to see and enjoy.

:57:59.:58:08.

I think it is fair to say that it is only split opinion between the two

:58:09.:58:14.

fighters soon afterwards, after the fight. Nicola Adams ablated this

:58:15.:58:27.

picture on her Instagram page. As far as her opponent, Michaela Walsh,

:58:28.:58:32.

goes, she tweeted, today I beat the Olympic champion, I was cheated,

:58:33.:58:35.

coming back with Commonwealth silver, I am very proud. In my

:58:36.:58:40.

heart, I know it was gold. Congratulations to Nicola Adams on a

:58:41.:58:43.

great fight. I hope we get a rematch in the future. It would be

:58:44.:58:47.

intriguing, as and when that rematch will happen. We are going to head to

:58:48.:58:53.

Edinburgh now on BBC Three. First we have the final of the women's 3m

:58:54.:58:57.

springboard, but the highlight later, as far as the men's event

:58:58.:59:01.

goes, it is the 10m platform, featuring this man.

:59:02.:59:13.

It is a good one. It cannot do any more than that. The crowd on their

:59:14.:59:19.

feet. Tom Daley has done absolutely everything he can. Tom Daley could

:59:20.:59:25.

not have done any more. It is out of his hands now.

:59:26.:59:35.

2013 was a rough year for me, riddled with injury. 2014 has come

:59:36.:59:42.

with a lot of changes. I have moved to London and I have got a new coach

:59:43.:59:45.

and I am doing lots of new exercises in the gym and I have changed a lot

:59:46.:59:51.

of technique in the pool. Recently I have just got a personal best in

:59:52.:59:54.

Mexico and came away with a silver medal. I am gradually making the

:59:55.:59:59.

step between being good to try to get into the excellent category.

:00:00.:00:08.

You mentioned your personal best. What has been the difference to get

:00:09.:00:14.

that extra special score? To break a personal best is something you

:00:15.:00:17.

always strive for. The small things make a big difference. If I don't .1

:00:18.:00:22.

of my toes or go slightly over from vertigo on certain things, the

:00:23.:00:23.

smallest mistake can cost you. Tom Daley goes into the water. Get

:00:24.:00:44.

in! What was special about the Commonwealth golds? The Commonwealth

:00:45.:00:49.

Games has always been a massive event on the diving calendar. I came

:00:50.:00:52.

away with two gold medals from Delhi and I was over the moon. I could not

:00:53.:00:57.

wait for another four years to pass until I could have a chance to do

:00:58.:01:05.

the next one. It is not so good. He lost it all on the take-off,

:01:06.:01:10.

actually, running out of room. Maybe the flash has put him off. Tell us

:01:11.:01:19.

about the Deavin dive, the twister. Everybody has got a dive that they

:01:20.:01:23.

are a bit scared of, and for me, it has always been about twister. But I

:01:24.:01:27.

have been working a lot to get to the stage where I can do it as well

:01:28.:01:30.

as I can. I am quite optimistic about the Commonwealth Games and

:01:31.:01:34.

that I will be able to nail that dive. Am I right that you have been

:01:35.:01:42.

seeing a therapist or a psychologist? A crucial part of

:01:43.:01:47.

being at the top of your game is that you have to mentally be in the

:01:48.:01:50.

position to think that you can win and also be in the position where

:01:51.:01:53.

you do not have any worries about the sport you are doing. To get

:01:54.:02:06.

another Commonwealth gold medal, it only happens once every four years.

:02:07.:02:13.

It is not like an event where you can try again next year to see if

:02:14.:02:16.

you could win. All those years of training, four years, and then you

:02:17.:02:19.

get six ties to try to make it count, and if you mess up one of

:02:20.:02:26.

those dives, you are out. Still a lot of work to be done, but I think

:02:27.:02:30.

by the time the Commonwealth Games happens, hopefully I will be in good

:02:31.:02:31.

shape. banish his demon dive at half past

:02:32.:02:48.

seven for the next 10-metre platform final. Before that it is the three

:02:49.:02:58.

metre springboard. COMMENTATOR: Thank you very much indeed, as we

:02:59.:03:02.

introduced the judges for the women's three metre springboard.

:03:03.:03:03.

Here they are. Boys, the former Canadian diver and

:03:04.:03:28.

now a judge. And now the fate of these 12 divers is in their hands.

:03:29.:03:34.

We will have five rounds of dives, there will be similar ones. The

:03:35.:03:43.

first diver will be doing an inward two and a half somersaults,

:03:44.:03:44.

first diver will be doing an inward two and performed in a slightly

:03:45.:03:46.

different way by Grace Reid and then by Anabelle Smith.

:03:47.:03:56.

More than half, pretty much, the divers will be going for in

:03:57.:04:14.

technical terms, 400 and -- 405 B. They will start in reverse order.

:04:15.:04:17.

The best from this morning will go last. Going for a notable double

:04:18.:04:25.

here. The advantage of diving last is that the judges tend to expect

:04:26.:04:31.

the best dives to come in the last bit of the round because you are the

:04:32.:04:36.

winner of the preliminary, so the higher marks can be awarded to the

:04:37.:04:39.

divers at the back end of the field but it does not always go that way.

:04:40.:04:46.

Sometimes it does. Here we go. The competition is underway. The whistle

:04:47.:04:51.

has been blown and we now have our first diver on the board. Well, she

:04:52.:05:03.

would have been looking for a stronger start than that,

:05:04.:05:07.

would have been looking for a short of vertical. The

:05:08.:05:08.

would have been looking for a OK. She squeezes into the pike

:05:09.:05:14.

shape. She lets go a bit too early so the dive is marginally short of

:05:15.:05:21.

vertical. Let's see what she gets. She will be looking for sevens.

:05:22.:05:26.

Seven and above is very good but six and a half and below is not so good.

:05:27.:05:31.

She will probably be not challenging for the upper echelons of this

:05:32.:05:36.

event. Rebecca Gallantree is much further down. But that was the

:05:37.:05:45.

morning, that can be parked and we will start again. That was nice from

:05:46.:05:54.

morning, that can be parked and we Rebecca, allowing the dive to

:05:55.:05:56.

rollover as she goes into the water. She has two shift her weight

:05:57.:06:00.

forward in order to complete the dive and that affects the entry.

:06:01.:06:07.

forward in order to complete the rolls over from vertical, so she

:06:08.:06:12.

will only score 6.5s, rather than eights. Six and a half, not quite

:06:13.:06:23.

the seven or above that she wanted. That takes her into second for the

:06:24.:06:29.

time being. Now, greeted by a raw, Grace. Grace Reid on the board. She

:06:30.:06:35.

is doing a slightly different version of the inward two and a half

:06:36.:06:42.

somersaults, this one is with tuck. It is worth consequently 2.7 rather

:06:43.:06:44.

than 3.0. Well, that is a beautiful It is worth consequently 2.7 rather

:06:45.:06:58.

grace. Opting for a slightly easier dive, this is in the tuck position,

:06:59.:07:03.

grabbing her shins and squeezing tight, straight up and down. A lower

:07:04.:07:07.

grabbing her shins and squeezing degree of difficulty, so that sees

:07:08.:07:08.

her at the bottom of the leaderboard so far. However, another consistent

:07:09.:07:17.

dive from grace. The degree of difficulty is nowhere near as high

:07:18.:07:18.

as it needs to difficulty is nowhere near as high

:07:19.:07:26.

medals. She may do what she is capable of doing at this stage and

:07:27.:07:27.

she is doing very well. It puts in capable of doing at this stage and

:07:28.:07:36.

the mix. Pamela Ware, 21 years of age, from Canada. She was taught

:07:37.:07:45.

diving by her dad, it was an ice cream better. Fabulous entry into

:07:46.:07:53.

the water. -- bet. The take-off was good, she could do with a tighter

:07:54.:07:57.

pike shape. A bit of an arch as she goes in but that is an improvement

:07:58.:08:02.

on her preliminary effort and it sees their top of the leaderboard so

:08:03.:08:05.

far with only four divers going so far. Bronze medallists at the World

:08:06.:08:12.

Championship in Barcelona in 2013. She has the pedigree to make their

:08:13.:08:15.

way through. Further down the standings than we thought she would

:08:16.:08:19.

be this morning but it can easily be reversed and it has been in quite a

:08:20.:08:23.

few competitions this week. Off to a shaky start this morning, Anabelle

:08:24.:08:30.

Smith. She would like to rectify that, starting all over again with

:08:31.:08:34.

an inward two and a half somersaults with pike. We have already seen this

:08:35.:08:42.

several times now. That is a little bit better than this morning. On the

:08:43.:08:46.

take-off she was backing away from the diving board a bit too much

:08:47.:08:50.

which can affect the rotation. But she manages to get after it, driving

:08:51.:08:56.

her hips up and over, tucking her chin slightly as she moves past

:08:57.:09:02.

vertical into the water. Difficulty 3.0, that should get her over 60

:09:03.:09:09.

points. 63 to be precise. Easily calculated. It will all count

:09:10.:09:14.

towards the total. Multiplied by the degree of difficulty to give you 63.

:09:15.:09:22.

That is her opening dive, Justin behind Pamela Ware in terms of the

:09:23.:09:28.

standings. It is early days yet. Lots of big dives still to come.

:09:29.:09:37.

Sabri From Malaysia. Once again, inward two and a half. I was very

:09:38.:09:44.

impressed with this 15-year-old, she has some dives which she struggles

:09:45.:09:49.

with later, but this was a corking opener, and in the preliminaries,

:09:50.:09:53.

she allows it to go over as she enters the water so it will not be

:09:54.:09:56.

quite as impressive as it was earlier but she will still be one to

:09:57.:10:02.

watch. Only 15. She is right alongside Anabelle Smith. Seen by

:10:03.:10:09.

the judges as precisely the same dive in terms of quality. Alicia

:10:10.:10:18.

Blagg goes for something different. The degree of difficulty is the same

:10:19.:10:22.

but this is a forward two and a half somersaults with one twist. The

:10:23.:10:26.

second of the English divers that we will see in the final. --, what a

:10:27.:10:33.

dive from Alicia, opening up the final. I was with her coach Aidan

:10:34.:10:44.

Hinchcliffe and she says she is feeling under the weather but you

:10:45.:10:47.

would not be able to tell because it may be something she has eaten, she

:10:48.:10:52.

may be struggling with their energy so this will affect competition but

:10:53.:10:58.

look at that to start off with. Whatever she has done this afternoon

:10:59.:11:05.

has helped her, feeling restored and refreshed. Nice job by Alicia Blagg.

:11:06.:11:16.

Li from Malaysia. But next. And we are back to the inward two and a

:11:17.:11:26.

half. -- Yan Yee. Alicia Blagg was the first to go over 70 in this

:11:27.:11:34.

round. Very, very nice, well executed. From Yan Yee. We are

:11:35.:11:40.

getting to compare and contrast, inward two and a half in the pike

:11:41.:11:46.

position, this will get over 65, finishing higher, keeping the

:11:47.:11:48.

splashdown compared to her team mate. This is the slightly more

:11:49.:11:59.

experienced and older Yan Yee, have strapping on her tricep. That is not

:12:00.:12:04.

unusual. She goes into second place. Behind Alicia Blagg. Starling will

:12:05.:12:14.

have a big smile. Her smile has disappeared as she gets her game

:12:15.:12:18.

face on and she gets ready to start the inward two and a half

:12:19.:12:22.

somersaults. The best placed of the English this morning but the points

:12:23.:12:25.

are of course not carried forward. Inward two and a half somersaults.

:12:26.:12:33.

That is very good from Hannah. This morning she just probably like a lot

:12:34.:12:37.

of the girls was a bit tired. Water in her ears as she comes up. This is

:12:38.:12:42.

a really strong attack on the take-off, squeezing into the pike

:12:43.:12:46.

shape. Straight up and down. A bit low on the water for more than

:12:47.:12:51.

seven, but we shall see. We will find out now. Three sevens. Joint

:12:52.:13:00.

fourth in a group of 63s coming together. Three more to go, the

:13:01.:13:06.

three best divers from this morning are up next. The Chinese diver who

:13:07.:13:17.

went to Sydney in the year 2009, Esther Qin. She will also be doing

:13:18.:13:23.

the dive that you have seen a lot of, 63-67 marks so far. Can she

:13:24.:13:31.

better that? I think she is a little short of vertical, she will be

:13:32.:13:38.

around 60 points. The take-off is OK but she backs away from the diving

:13:39.:13:41.

board a little bit too much which leaves her short of vertical as she

:13:42.:13:47.

goes into the water. The judges were penalised bad. Esther Qin will be

:13:48.:13:48.

further down the leaderboard. penalised bad. Esther Qin will be

:13:49.:13:59.

61.5, 6.5 and sevens. For Esther Qin on that 3.0 dive. Now, onto the New

:14:00.:14:05.

Zealand born, but now Australian, Madison Keeney. She is certainly one

:14:06.:14:15.

to watch. She was on the one, and she is in the three. She is not

:14:16.:14:19.

quite as expansive in the three in terms of what she can do. 3.0 for

:14:20.:14:27.

the Australian. Just washing over as she goes into the water, two and a

:14:28.:14:30.

half somersaults in the pike position. All of the girls will use

:14:31.:14:41.

about two and a half. Madison jumps through the roof. She is so powerful

:14:42.:14:51.

and only 18 years old. Faltering on the entry causes the marks to be

:14:52.:14:59.

lower. 63, matching Starling, Smith, Sabri and now Madison Keeney on 63.

:15:00.:15:15.

She has already got the 1m title under her belt. This is her in which

:15:16.:15:19.

2.5 somersault!. Silver medal four years ago, a gold

:15:20.:15:30.

medal last night in the 1m springboard, and here she is on her

:15:31.:15:36.

favourite 3m. Top qualifier, ready to open up her campaign. Steady,

:15:37.:15:43.

steadfast. She has done it better. We will see where her head is and

:15:44.:15:51.

where she is at this evening. Sevens and a sevens and a 7.54

:15:52.:15:59.

Jennifer Abel. -- and a 7.5 for Jennifer Abel.

:16:00.:16:25.

Round two women, Cheong Jun Hoong. She came in

:16:26.:16:38.

in 12th place this morning. A bit of difficulty with this in training, so

:16:39.:16:43.

not so good in the preliminaries, and she has missed a dead-end in the

:16:44.:16:49.

final. Forward 3.5 in the tuck position, just holding on to that

:16:50.:16:54.

shape a fraction too long and other rotating. -- other rotating.

:16:55.:17:04.

6.5 is an OK return for Cheong Jun Hoong of Malaysia.

:17:05.:17:18.

Rebecca Gallantree made her senior debut ten years ago for Great

:17:19.:17:23.

Britain. Here she is for England with a reverse 2.5 somersault! With

:17:24.:17:29.

bike. She has a tendency to pull the dive

:17:30.:17:44.

over. A bit of a back arch and and other rotation, so she probably will

:17:45.:17:48.

not get more than a seven, which is a shame, because the height on that

:17:49.:17:57.

dive is excellent. She nearly took out the cameraman there!

:17:58.:18:08.

Grace Reid. A smile when she got onto the board. Now it is studied

:18:09.:18:16.

concentration. , High on consistency. Unfaltering

:18:17.:18:41.

under the expectation of this home crowd in her home pool, home

:18:42.:18:46.

country, and she certainly takes it on. She's doing a great job.

:18:47.:19:04.

Pamela Ware is currently third, where she finished in Barcelona last

:19:05.:19:16.

year. She has got a point to prove, coming out and attacking. She is not

:19:17.:19:25.

holding back at all. It is a 3.1 degree of difficulty for a reason.

:19:26.:19:40.

She will be looking for mid-60s. Her face says that they be she expected

:19:41.:19:44.

more, either from the judges or herself. That is just her game

:19:45.:19:51.

face. I know her well. She would be wonderful at poker. Anabelle Smith,

:19:52.:20:00.

reverse first 2.5 somersaults with pike.

:20:01.:20:09.

Leaving the board short and vertical there. She stands the board, she is

:20:10.:20:16.

not on the end, so there is a miss coordination with the diving board.

:20:17.:20:19.

The diving board is your friend and you need treated nicely on ago down

:20:20.:20:23.

with it, and then it will fling you are in the air. If you stamp it, it

:20:24.:20:27.

will flick you off, and that is what happened to Anabelle Smith. There

:20:28.:20:33.

you go, technical talk. You campaign a lot of money for those channels!

:20:34.:20:44.

Nur Dhabitah Sabri for Malaysia goes with the forward 3.5 somersaults

:20:45.:20:49.

with pike, currently in fifth place. A good stylus, her favoured

:20:50.:21:06.

movement, the forward. A bit of impact on the diving board, so

:21:07.:21:09.

making it hard work, but she hangs on just about long enough to get it

:21:10.:21:15.

in. This was good in the preliminaries, not quite as good in

:21:16.:21:18.

the semifinal because of the fault on the take-off. The Malaysian might

:21:19.:21:25.

start to slip away as she moves toward the weaker part of her

:21:26.:21:29.

programme. She will not be leading year with 55.80. Not a great return

:21:30.:21:42.

on that dive. Alicia Blagg is currently our leader. It would be

:21:43.:21:45.

nice if she can back up her first round performance. 2.5 somersaults.

:21:46.:21:54.

We know that she is capable of getting more than 60 on this dive.

:21:55.:22:07.

At its soft inner body as she went into the water, arching through the

:22:08.:22:17.

back. Swing in the arms, take-off looks OK. I mentioned earlier that

:22:18.:22:22.

she is not very well. She looked slightly weak on her take-off there,

:22:23.:22:26.

soft on her way out. It looked like hard work, so I am hoping she has

:22:27.:22:31.

got enough energy for the next three dives. She is rubbing her eyes. It

:22:32.:22:39.

is tough. She does not look at all well. In second place, for the time

:22:40.:22:43.

being, after that. Yan Yee of Malaysia, currently

:22:44.:22:57.

ranked second. This is her forward 3.5, with 3.1, in the pike position.

:22:58.:23:01.

A high tariff dive a former. Very well executed. A classy effort.

:23:02.:23:20.

Yan Yee, 21 years old, this is one of her hardest dives, by way of

:23:21.:23:27.

degree of difficulty, at 3.1. She goes into the lead. Not quite 70,

:23:28.:23:29.

were close to it. be going with the same dive. Hannah

:23:30.:23:49.

Starling is just preparing herself for her forward 3.5 somersaults,

:23:50.:23:54.

currently in fifth place. 70 but take into the lead. Very good. Not

:23:55.:24:03.

sure if that will be good enough to get over 70 points. It is 3.1. She

:24:04.:24:12.

goes up and away. A bit low and she ends up short, but ducks head and

:24:13.:24:19.

ends up going over, say she might be penalised. 6.5, 6.5 and 6.5. The

:24:20.:24:29.

marks with lines through them do not count. Third place now. Now the big

:24:30.:24:40.

three from this morning. Esther Qin, the first, same dive once again. We

:24:41.:24:45.

will see something different from Maddison Keeney after this. What a

:24:46.:24:55.

beauty! An absolute beauty. Esther Qin, slightly further down after her

:24:56.:24:59.

first-round dive, that we would expect. This will rocket her

:25:00.:25:04.

straight up the leaderboard. 3.1. We have seen it before. If it gets over

:25:05.:25:09.

70 points, she will leapfrog a few of her fellow competitors, and she

:25:10.:25:18.

does. She has done just that. 69.75, and at the moment, it is

:25:19.:25:23.

Malaysia in first place, Australia in second place, with Yan Yee in the

:25:24.:25:31.

first place. Maddison Keeney of Australia.

:25:32.:25:45.

She does so well. Her step was a bit of. She was leaning too far

:25:46.:25:54.

forward, right on the corner of the board, but Lagat the heights she

:25:55.:25:58.

gets. You must be able to see that, at home, it is incredible,

:25:59.:26:03.

especially that she is on the corner of the board. It is not easy to do

:26:04.:26:09.

anything from that, let alone a reverse 2.5 in the height position,

:26:10.:26:21.

and she manages to get 7.5s on it! 67.5. At the moment she is in third

:26:22.:26:26.

place, but that might change. It is likely to change with Jennifer Abel

:26:27.:26:33.

up next, the 1m champion. She always keeps her game face on for the

:26:34.:26:36.

evening, looking very good this morning. Back to .5 somersault!

:26:37.:26:49.

Very nice indeed from Jennifer Abel. Will it be gold again tonight? So

:26:50.:26:57.

far it looks as though she is very much in line for another gold medal.

:26:58.:27:04.

Just allowing the dive to tip over slightly from vertical. She kept the

:27:05.:27:07.

splashdown nicely. Not slightly from vertical. She kept the

:27:08.:27:19.

lead, but close to it. It is very tight at the top. The leaderboard

:27:20.:27:22.

looks like this. Cheong Jun Hoong of Malaysia is

:27:23.:27:47.

currently ranked 11th, and She looks like she is a bit tired,

:27:48.:28:21.

not quite got her competition head on. She is much better than this.

:28:22.:28:27.

She only just qualified for this final. We lost to Mac ladies this

:28:28.:28:35.

morning in the preliminaries. I would expect more from her. She is a

:28:36.:28:40.

better driver than this. When she gets it right, she can really get it

:28:41.:28:45.

right. We have seen her have some outstanding dives in earlier days.

:28:46.:28:54.

That was not too bad. Rebecca Gallantree is joint ninth after the

:28:55.:28:58.

second round. This one will be a forward 3.5 somersaults with pike

:28:59.:29:07.

for the dive from Leeds. Terrific dive from Rebecca. Gold medal in the

:29:08.:29:20.

3m Synchro. A good forward 3.5 in the pike position, punching a hole

:29:21.:29:23.

in the water by grabbing hands as she goes in. You can see the spray

:29:24.:29:25.

on the surface of the she goes in. You can see the spray

:29:26.:29:28.

is worth mentioning, which is to disturb the surface of

:29:29.:29:31.

is worth mentioning, which is to that they divert knows exactly where

:29:32.:29:36.

the services. If there is no spray, all the dive can see is the bottom

:29:37.:29:41.

of the pool. A little bit of spray gives you an exact idea of where the

:29:42.:29:44.

surface is so that when you grab your hands before going in, you know

:29:45.:29:46.

where it is. tariffs. That was a beautiful dive.

:29:47.:30:04.

Forward two and a half with one twist. 3.0.

:30:05.:30:09.

Forward two and a half with one the rotation into the one half with

:30:10.:30:13.

one twist, then making it two and a half somersaults. The best dive of

:30:14.:30:21.

her programme so far. 62, 63. Any ad Barnes? We are staying on 63. --

:30:22.:30:30.

advance. Nice and solid. 78 points already for her. It would be far too

:30:31.:30:37.

much to expect with the degree of difficulty that she has got. A

:30:38.:30:41.

middle of the pack finish, if she can achieve it. Pamela Ware. Oh,

:30:42.:31:00.

faltering, she came out all guns blazing to put herself towards the

:31:01.:31:05.

front of the field but this will show acts based see her dropping

:31:06.:31:09.

down. Not getting enough rotation and ending up short of vertical as

:31:10.:31:14.

she goes in. The judges do not see the slow motion replays, they input

:31:15.:31:19.

their scores immediately as soon as the diver has hit the water. They

:31:20.:31:23.

are required to put the scores in and they do not look at each

:31:24.:31:29.

other's scores. They have dividers. They are separated from each other.

:31:30.:31:34.

They are not allowed to peek over and copy other people 's homework.

:31:35.:31:42.

Anabelle Smith with a back two and a half somersaults to perform. That is

:31:43.:31:49.

better from Smith, right down at the bottom of the leaderboard after her

:31:50.:31:52.

second round dive but she will now pick herself up with that one.

:31:53.:31:58.

Backwards two and a half in the pike position. You can see the strain

:31:59.:32:03.

going through the body, pulling the top half of the body onto the bottom

:32:04.:32:09.

half to show the pike shape. Then exiting the dive to land on her head

:32:10.:32:15.

pretty much vertically. Like she was doing this morning but not quite

:32:16.:32:19.

where she needs to be, not quite on form. She is a bit away from her

:32:20.:32:30.

favourite place. We are down in the slightly lower tariff dives. Sabri,

:32:31.:32:39.

this is in the tuck position and not the pike. So it will be 2.8. That is

:32:40.:32:49.

OK from Sabri, as I mentioned, her first two dives, high degree of

:32:50.:32:52.

difficulty because they are in the pike position. She struggles with

:32:53.:32:58.

this particular movement, she opts for the easier degree of difficulty,

:32:59.:33:03.

the 2.8 in the tuck position. Spinning in the tuck position is

:33:04.:33:06.

easier than spinning in the pike position. OK on that one. She is

:33:07.:33:13.

quite pleased, I am not sure. A little inclination of the head,

:33:14.:33:17.

looking back at her coach. Coaches are never satisfied, there is always

:33:18.:33:24.

something wrong. Alicia Blagg. A decent start. Forward three and a

:33:25.:33:36.

half. She has not been on top of their game but let's see what the

:33:37.:33:39.

forward three and a half will bring for her. Lovely dive. She is not

:33:40.:33:48.

feeling on top of her game, but that is roundabout the top of her game on

:33:49.:33:53.

this dive, even though she lands in the corner of the board, she waits

:33:54.:33:59.

and waits. That was a great dive from Alicia Blagg. If she gets over

:34:00.:34:05.

70 points she will go to the top of the leaderboard once again. That is

:34:06.:34:10.

where she was after round one, she will not be there after round three

:34:11.:34:15.

but 71.3 will put her there temporarily. She is ahead of Rebecca

:34:16.:34:18.

Gallantree. Here is the current leader. And Yan Lee from Malaysia.

:34:19.:34:34.

Something different to come next. She needs 59 to retain that

:34:35.:34:45.

position. Faltering. Over she goes. The take-off looked OK. Generating

:34:46.:34:51.

enough spin, squeezing into the pike shape. She just reaches back a

:34:52.:34:56.

little bit too aggressively, tipping over, so this will be maybe five,

:34:57.:35:01.

five .5, from the judges, so that will see her less than 50 points.

:35:02.:35:07.

Just one dive like that can scupper your chances of a medal. She is in

:35:08.:35:12.

second place right now but there are still four more still to come and

:35:13.:35:15.

she may find herself dropping down the order. Hannah Starling. Smiling

:35:16.:35:23.

at the crowd, getting herself ready and looks at what she needs to do.

:35:24.:35:31.

As a chat with herself. That was really nice, a marvellous dive. A

:35:32.:35:35.

little bit of a skip on the take-off, moving herself towards the

:35:36.:35:39.

middle of the pool, but she had one of her feet over the end of the

:35:40.:35:43.

diving board which causes bad. She squares it up nicely. Getting

:35:44.:35:49.

sevens. A nice third round dive. The 19-year-old from England. They are

:35:50.:35:56.

in a position just behind the medals. We can see them faltering,

:35:57.:36:03.

so she will not be in the top three at the end of the round. Not far

:36:04.:36:13.

away. Esther Qin. The 20-year-old. She has had her fair share of injury

:36:14.:36:18.

problems along the way. She suffered a whole year of ankle problems not

:36:19.:36:25.

long ago. In 2009. We saw her at the University games last year.

:36:26.:36:27.

Backwards two and a half somersaults. That is the dive of her

:36:28.:36:34.

programme so far, we are looking for a vertical entry with no splash and

:36:35.:36:38.

that is exactly what we got from Esther Qin on this dive. We could

:36:39.:36:44.

see the first dive scoring above 8.5. Straight up and down. If the

:36:45.:36:48.

judges are awake and in a good mood they may go higher, that is 8.5 all

:36:49.:36:53.

the way for me. It is that the judges as well. They have the same

:36:54.:37:00.

view of that as we did from the commentary box. 8.5s for Esther Qin.

:37:01.:37:06.

The Chinese-born Australian. She goes into the lead by 14 points from

:37:07.:37:13.

Alicia Blagg. The big movers and shakers are about to take to the

:37:14.:37:19.

board. Here is Madison Keeney from Australia, she will want to do

:37:20.:37:23.

something about that, the 18-year-old. She has had problems

:37:24.:37:28.

with this dive. Did she hit the diving board? I was watching it on

:37:29.:37:33.

the screen and I was not sure whether she hit it. Let's have a

:37:34.:37:36.

look at the replay. I think she does. She hits her feet on the

:37:37.:37:42.

diving board, so the judges were quite clearly penalised that. That

:37:43.:37:47.

is a shame because she is so high, she just needed to move the dive

:37:48.:37:52.

further back. She hits her feet. If it is deemed dangerous, Judge number

:37:53.:37:59.

one thought no, I am giving you 1.5, but the rest of the judges giving

:38:00.:38:04.

4.5s. Madison Keeney could be out of the medals and that would be a

:38:05.:38:09.

shame. She does not always put it together at the right time. Forward

:38:10.:38:19.

two and a half, one twist. Unfazed by the diver before hitting her feet

:38:20.:38:23.

on the diving board, Jennifer is in the zone, focusing on what she can

:38:24.:38:28.

do and what she needs to do. One dive at a time, that is how you win

:38:29.:38:33.

the Commonwealth Games. Looking to be the eventual champion. Midway

:38:34.:38:38.

through, just over, on the three metres. And now she is in the top

:38:39.:38:46.

two with the Australian Esther Qin. That is

:38:47.:38:49.

two with the Australian Esther Qin. Blagg has moved into

:38:50.:38:56.

has found some form in round three. She and

:38:57.:39:01.

has found some form in round three. in round three to

:39:02.:39:08.

has found some form in round three. there. It looks like a long haul

:39:09.:39:14.

back. For Madison Keeney and Smith if they are going to challenge the

:39:15.:39:18.

medals. It is still mathematically possible because 1-11 are separated

:39:19.:39:25.

35 points. It is quite a lot, but it is not a massive difference. Reverse

:39:26.:39:32.

two and a half. This was a beauty in the preview, she got nines. I

:39:33.:39:36.

thought she should have got nines, but they gave her a .5s. One judge

:39:37.:39:43.

gave her nine. She has done a lot of competing over these

:39:44.:39:44.

gave her nine. She has done a lot of competing over past days, this is

:39:45.:39:48.

day four, she has been on pretty much every day, starting to show in

:39:49.:39:53.

her facial expression, that she is kind of toughing it out. Do you

:39:54.:40:00.

worry about having a cameraman in your face? Every diver when they

:40:01.:40:04.

come out, has a cameraman in their face. I did not even notice it

:40:05.:40:09.

because I was focused on what I was doing. Rebecca Gallantree. Inward

:40:10.:40:15.

two and a half somersaults with tuck. This is down in the 2.7

:40:16.:40:20.

range. This has to be very good if she is to retain her sixth position.

:40:21.:40:29.

All move further up. She is originally from Essex. She opted for

:40:30.:40:35.

the easier inward. In the tuck position you get an easier degree of

:40:36.:40:39.

difficulty, this worked for her in the preliminaries. The take-off is

:40:40.:40:44.

good and the exit is OK but she lets it over rotate. She needed to exit

:40:45.:40:50.

the dive sooner so to ensure a vertical entry. We are watching the

:40:51.:40:57.

replay. Getting feedback from her coach, Amy Hinchcliffe. A good start

:40:58.:41:00.

but she needed to line up around the sides. 50 for there. Her grandad did

:41:01.:41:15.

exhibition diving. Her parents were not involved at all. Reverse two and

:41:16.:41:21.

a half somersaults with tuck. That is lovely. Well done, Grace. I am

:41:22.:41:28.

laughing because she has just raised her game so consistently, she knows

:41:29.:41:35.

laughing because she has just raised that she is lacking in degree of

:41:36.:41:40.

difficulty but she is matching many athletes dive for dive. Maybe she

:41:41.:41:44.

will be close to 60 points with that. A couple of 7.5s discarded,

:41:45.:41:55.

and a couple of sevens. A low tariff dive. A big dive in terms of

:41:56.:42:04.

execution. And Pamela Ware, eighth place at the moment for the

:42:05.:42:09.

Canadian. She may be able to bridge the gap here. Reverse two and a

:42:10.:42:13.

half. That is certainly going to help. That was a fabulous dive, off

:42:14.:42:19.

the back of a very average inward two and a half in the pike position.

:42:20.:42:23.

This is the reverse two and a half, reaching back just to allow the dive

:42:24.:42:30.

to tip over. It is very warm in this pool. I will start making up words

:42:31.:42:36.

in a minute. You normally do that anyway! Grace Reid and Pamela Ware

:42:37.:42:48.

are now close together, the Canadians. Forward three and a half

:42:49.:43:00.

somersaults with pike. 3.1. Certainly is, she needed a really

:43:01.:43:05.

good take-off, and in order to get the best take-off you need to land

:43:06.:43:08.

right on the edge and she was a bit back from the end social has do

:43:09.:43:18.

squeeze into the pike position and tuck her head down towards the

:43:19.:43:23.

water. She does a reasonable job. She parks herself next to Reed, so

:43:24.:43:35.

she is a long way shy. Nur Dhabitah Sabri looked good this morning. She

:43:36.:43:39.

was leading at one stage but now she is at the other end of the pack this

:43:40.:43:45.

time. Here comes her 2.8 degrees of difficulty dive. Reverse two and a

:43:46.:43:54.

half somersaults. She has nailed it. Yes! Much better, reverse two

:43:55.:44:00.

and a half in the tuck position. Only 2.8, it is 3.0 in the pike

:44:01.:44:04.

position. The 15-year-old from Malaysia. Doing this dive to the

:44:05.:44:11.

best of their ability. I have been watching this in training, it is

:44:12.:44:15.

potentially a bogey dive for her, but that was very good. The top

:44:16.:44:20.

three currently are separated by two points. Pamela Ware. Nur Dhabitah

:44:21.:44:31.

Sabri, and Grace Reid. Alicia Blagg has got herself back into third

:44:32.:44:35.

place. She has not been feeling well at all. It would be brilliant to see

:44:36.:44:49.

her do a brilliant dive now in round for. Almost brilliant. Beautiful

:44:50.:44:57.

take-off. This is from the diving board, squeezing into the pike

:44:58.:45:03.

shape. Slight bend in her knees there. She reaches back a bit,

:45:04.:45:08.

causing the dive to go over. She did all the hard work and faulted on the

:45:09.:45:13.

entry. Good enough to put her in the lead now. She will be happy with

:45:14.:45:15.

this competition. The European Championships are

:45:16.:45:24.

coming soon, in a couple of weeks. Yan Yee of Malaysia. This reverse

:45:25.:45:40.

2.5 is good. She could put some pressure on the likes of Jennifer

:45:41.:45:43.

Abel and Esther Qin. Only one more round after this.

:45:44.:45:49.

That is good from Yan Yee, reverse 2.5 in the pike position. She

:45:50.:45:59.

faulted previously on this the third round dive. She could get sevens on

:46:00.:46:01.

this. She is putting pressure on the other

:46:02.:46:15.

athletes. Alicia Blagg is still in the first position, though, so as

:46:16.:46:21.

things stand, with four left to come in this ground, Alicia Blagg cannot

:46:22.:46:26.

finish any worse than fifth. Hannah Starling for England,

:46:27.:46:39.

19-year-old from Leeds. She switched to diving just before her ninth

:46:40.:46:43.

birthday. I'm sure she's very glad she did.

:46:44.:46:48.

Very nice. She sneaks the dive in beautifully, a bit low in the water.

:46:49.:46:56.

Her take-off is good, but she's not finishing the dive high enough to

:46:57.:47:01.

get the drop. She does a nice job of fitting that in. Where will that put

:47:02.:47:04.

her? She goes to first place, only by a

:47:05.:47:18.

margin. One point between her and Alicia Blagg in second place. A

:47:19.:47:24.

smile on her face. Here is our current leader, marginally in front

:47:25.:47:33.

of Jennifer Abel, seeking to put a bit of distance between her and the

:47:34.:47:39.

Canadian with her reverse 2.5. She was in the lead before, and now she

:47:40.:47:44.

will be difficult to beat. The Australians are cheering, and so

:47:45.:47:48.

they shared. Beautiful dive from Esther Qin, reverse 2.5 in the pike

:47:49.:47:58.

position. Maybe a nine. If it is, she will be at 75, and she will be

:47:59.:48:04.

difficult to catch. One dive to go for Esther Qin. 76.5 for Esther Qin.

:48:05.:48:12.

That is a big margin for Esther Qin. 76.5 for Esther Qin.

:48:13.:48:15.

That that she has opened upon the rest.

:48:16.:48:19.

Maddison Keeney, I think her last dive has done further chances of a

:48:20.:48:31.

medal. Forward 3.5, 3.1. You have got to give credit to this young

:48:32.:48:35.

lady, she is only 18 and she is a super talent. She has got so much

:48:36.:48:41.

potential. She lands just on the edge of the diving board, but look

:48:42.:48:46.

how high are both she does. That will squeeze the gap. It is down to

:48:47.:48:59.

the exciting last round. Esther Qin goes to 284. Maddison Keeney goes to

:49:00.:49:10.

239. At the moment, Hannah Starling is in a medal position. Jennifer

:49:11.:49:14.

Abel knows that she has to be at the top of her game now to catch Esther

:49:15.:49:21.

Qin with her forward 3.5. She does need to be top of the game, and that

:49:22.:49:25.

is not the top of the game. She will go into the silver medal position

:49:26.:49:29.

with one round to go. This is 3.1. She would have needed eights to

:49:30.:49:38.

catch Esther Qin. That is less than eights. She enters the water still

:49:39.:49:42.

in a slight hike position, throwing up a bit of a splash. She will have

:49:43.:49:49.

11 points to make up in the final round if she wants to get the gold

:49:50.:49:56.

medal. She was silver-medallist four years ago, and that is where she is

:49:57.:50:02.

heading now. Hannah Starling and Alicia Blagg battling it out for the

:50:03.:50:05.

bronze medal at the Alicia Blagg battling it out for the

:50:06.:50:09.

Yee in fifth Alicia Blagg is down, 2.7, on

:50:10.:50:28.

difficulty. Hannah Starling has a 3.0.

:50:29.:50:36.

Cheong Jun Hoong of Malaysia. Very much off a game this evening. What a

:50:37.:50:45.

shame, because when she is diving well, she is a delight to watch. She

:50:46.:50:50.

is finishing up here with a very average dive to go with an average

:50:51.:50:56.

list of dives. What a shame, because she is a beautiful dive, and we have

:50:57.:50:58.

not seen the best of her this evening. 5.5. Some people are making

:50:59.:51:07.

a night of it. They have got the beer in and they are watching does

:51:08.:51:14.

Rebecca Gallantree might finish full -- they are watching us.

:51:15.:51:30.

Rebecca Gallantree might finish where she started in terms of the

:51:31.:51:34.

Rebecca Gallantree might finish diving order, in 11th place, where

:51:35.:51:35.

she is right now. Back to diving order, in 11th place, where

:51:36.:51:37.

somersaults with pike A bit of a

:51:38.:52:00.

the water. She would have felt the water hit her on her shins and

:52:01.:52:03.

ankles as she went in, so she knows she will not be coming up to eight.

:52:04.:52:11.

Sevens are coming our way. That is precisely what she gets. 63 for

:52:12.:52:19.

Rebecca Gallantree. Grace Reid, last dive, the biggest cheer of the night

:52:20.:52:23.

to her. She has performed impeccably all the way through. A low tariff

:52:24.:52:28.

dive to finish with, but it is the quality of the diving which has been

:52:29.:52:30.

so impressive from her. She has done so well. Her coach will

second, would you believe. She is not too far shy of 300. The

scoreboard currently shows her in first place. She will not finish

their, but for the time being, she is the head of the table. Pamela

:53:26.:53:31.

Ware is in sixth place. Forward 2.5 somersaults. She finishes off with a

:53:32.:53:42.

marvellous dive on a 3.0, the forward 2.5 with twist. We will see

:53:43.:53:43.

this a lot. 67.50. She is the first of the

:53:44.:54:05.

divers to go over 300, at 308. It will not be enough for a medal

:54:06.:54:14.

today. Rather disappointing, Anabelle Smith, today. She has not

:54:15.:54:19.

worked out in the preliminaries. A solid finish from Anabelle Smith.

:54:20.:54:33.

She was in 10th place after the fourth round and she will be around

about that place now. That was a good dive, but lots of the girls are

:54:37.:54:42.

finishing on their best dives, which makes sense. This is good from

Anabelle Smith. Probably identical scores coming her way, as we saw for

the Canadian Pamela Ware just before her. 67.50, say she does not quite

go over the Rubicon of the 300. Next up is Nur Dhabitah Sabri. We

:54:58.:55:10.

have had a mixed bag from her today, very impressive part in the

:55:11.:55:13.

morning, but not quite so this evening. Again, it is the forward

:55:14.:55:24.

2.5 somersaults. 3.0 on the difficulty.

:55:25.:55:29.

Faltering on her last dive, which is unfortunate, because she's doing a

:55:30.:55:35.

sterling job for 15 years old. Lots to learn, great Commonwealth Games,

:55:36.:55:42.

not so takeaway, but no medals. She will drop down the leaderboard,

:55:43.:55:47.

probably behind Rebecca Gallantree and Grace Reid. At one stage she was

:55:48.:55:56.

ahead of both of them. She has got 45 on that, not a great return.

:55:57.:56:07.

There are six more to go. Alicia Blagg is still in fourth place, and

:56:08.:56:11.

still in a position to challenge, but it is a low tariff dive on at

:56:12.:56:13.

2.7. It is a dive that she feels

:56:14.:56:25.

comfortable with, and in which 2.5 somersaults with Tucker. She has

:56:26.:56:35.

given it her best shot. She has not been feeling very well. She got hit

:56:36.:56:46.

by the water, throwing up bash, and she will not get above sevens on

:56:47.:56:54.

this. She will not get a medal. I hope she feels better soon. She just

:56:55.:56:58.

wants to get away from here and go straight to bed and recover, but

:56:59.:57:03.

good luck to her. I know she is at the European Championships shortly,

:57:04.:57:06.

so a couple of weeks to recover and get herself back to form. Yan Yee of

:57:07.:57:15.

Malaysia, in fifth place, so still has a target of a top three finish.

:57:16.:57:17.

One more time, the 3.0 forward 2.5. It is good. You can hear the

:57:18.:57:31.

Malaysian contingent shouting and cheering. They like it. And she has

:57:32.:57:36.

done a very good job that Omotoso right over the end of the diving

:57:37.:57:42.

board. That will put her at the top of the leaderboard with that, but we

:57:43.:57:45.

still have four divers to come. It will be right down to the wire. This

:57:46.:57:50.

is good stuff, diving at its very best. We have no idea where the

:57:51.:57:55.

medals are going yet, but she might have got one medal with that.

:57:56.:58:05.

Hannah Starling is in third place. She has a high tariff dive. It is a

:58:06.:58:17.

forward 2.5 somersaults, with one twist.

:58:18.:58:27.

It is a tremendous dive from Hannah Starling! Will that be enough? She

:58:28.:58:33.

has thrown down the gauntlet to the rest of

has thrown down the gauntlet to the them. Let's wait and see what

:58:34.:58:39.

happens. I am really impressed. A beautiful dive, that is her dive off

:58:40.:58:44.

the competition, and it will get over 65 points, and it might be

:58:45.:58:50.

enough for a medal. I will put my rather damaged reputation online and

:58:51.:58:52.

say it will be good enough for a medal. I am sure with that. It will

:58:53.:59:00.

put pressure on everybody else. Esther Qin, the leader, Jennifer

:59:01.:59:05.

Abel to come, and Maddison Keeney, still mathematically able to

:59:06.:59:10.

overcome that. But at the moment, Hannah Starling is in the top

:59:11.:59:16.

position. Interesting. 32 points is all Esther Qin needs to overtake

Hannah on her forward 2.5. We could be looking at the Commonwealth Games

champion right there. She had a bit of and Jennifer Abel is probably the

:59:28.:59:30.

only one that can catch. Esther Qin has been rocking it this evening,

:59:31.:59:34.

and that is a good dive to finish, but not out of Jennifer Abel's

:59:35.:59:38.

reach. It is not as good as Hannah Starling's. It will get to the

:59:39.:59:48.

mid-60s. Yes, 347.25 is the score to beat. Only Jennifer Abel can do

:59:49.:59:55.

that. She will have to be spot-on on her last dive, which is a different

:59:56.:00:01.

one from everyone else's that you have seen recently. Maddison Keeney

:00:02.:00:06.

cannot catch Esther Qin, but she can catch Hannah Starling with a 77.7.

:00:07.:00:13.

It is a good dive from the Australian. I do not think that will

:00:14.:00:19.

be good enough for her to stand on the podium. She hit her seat on the

:00:20.:00:23.

diving board in dramatic fashion, which means that Hannah Starling

:00:24.:00:29.

will win at least the bronze, at least the bronze. That is good

:00:30.:00:33.

diving from the Australian. She's a super talent, but I am absolutely

:00:34.:00:37.

thrilled for Hannah Starling, who I can now confirm will stand on the

:00:38.:00:47.

podium. Esther Qin has a medal, Hannah Starling has a medal, what

:00:48.:00:51.

colour, we will discover in the next minute.

:00:52.:01:04.

It will not be gold for Canada, it will be gold for Australia. I think

:01:05.:01:10.

that will be good enough for Australia. She only needs 5.5 to

:01:11.:01:20.

ensure the silver. I think it is good enough, a drop dive from the

:01:21.:01:25.

one metre champion, silver-medallist four years ago. Gold for Australia,

:01:26.:01:34.

Esther Qin, and another medal 14 England. There are the Australians

:01:35.:01:41.

celebrating. Esther Qin taking the gold. Jennifer Abel with the silver

:01:42.:01:48.

but Hannah Starling, who looked very good this morning, has improved his

:01:49.:01:56.

standard. Good enough for third place.

:01:57.:02:11.

step forward for the youngster from Leeds.

I am not sure what is wetter, the swimming pool or ask! That
