I am not sure what is wetter, the swimming pool or ask! That is just

:00:08.:00:14.

the start of the drama because Dan has got plenty more haven't you? A

:00:15.:00:19.

bit more diving coming up and hockey. England's Savannah Marshall

:00:20.:00:28.

has started him out gold medal match. Lucy O'Connor and Macintosh.

:00:29.:00:42.

COMMENTATOR: A two-time gold medal champion in her own right. She will

:00:43.:00:56.

be looking to get inside the superior reach. That is the reach

:00:57.:01:07.

Marshall enjoys. Both boxers trying to counter each other. Marshall

:01:08.:01:12.

taking goes straight shots, she needs to keep her foot on the

:01:13.:01:24.

outside of Fortin's. Fortin have counted well as well. -- Fortin has

:01:25.:01:39.

countered. Straight back into the fray steps Fortin. Tied up by

:01:40.:01:44.

Marshall, forcing the referee to intervene. Good footwork by

:01:45.:01:51.

Marshall. Using the Bird very well, using the angle, coming off

:01:52.:02:01.

laterally. The right hook got through. Looking for a sweet left

:02:02.:02:04.

foot in the final exchange from Marshall. The reigning world

:02:05.:02:13.

champion, as we begin this opening round, is doing very well indeed.

:02:14.:02:16.

Good round for Marshall. Marshall landing with good, straight

:02:17.:02:50.

shots. Fortin making it scrappy with her own right hook.

:02:51.:02:58.

The judges are split in terms of how they saw that opening round.

:02:59.:03:12.

Marshall getting with that left-hand, using it as a

:03:13.:03:32.

range finder right now. Darting in and out with quick use of the feet.

:03:33.:03:40.

Marshall has to keep Fortin at the end of her range. Both vastly

:03:41.:03:46.

experienced ox is at Marshall has the advantage in terms of height

:03:47.:03:54.

will stop -- both vastly experienced boxers but Marshall has the

:03:55.:03:55.

advantage in terms of height. Marshall, and incredibly

:03:56.:04:05.

accomplished boxer. Marshall parrying that final

:04:06.:04:22.

left-handed attempt from Fortin. Right hand over the top from

:04:23.:04:26.

Marshall, was a really effective shot during that flurry. Good boxing

:04:27.:04:33.

here by Marshall in the second round. Marshall has said she has put

:04:34.:04:44.

the Olympic disappointment behind. That jab continuing to be poked out

:04:45.:04:53.

by the boxers. Just deterring Fortin from her reigning attacks. She needs

:04:54.:05:03.

to give herself room here. Marshall is making good use of the ring. Good

:05:04.:05:08.

work here. That was another incredibly

:05:09.:05:23.

competitive round. You can see the exchange is there

:05:24.:05:37.

between them. Marshall on that occasion probably got the better.

:05:38.:05:44.

Some scrappy shots being thrown in, nothing particularly clear. Two

:05:45.:05:52.

judges favouring Marshall, one favouring Fortin. Incredibly

:05:53.:05:58.

competitive bout, it perhaps depends on your preference. As to which

:05:59.:06:03.

boxer you favour during that second round.

:06:04.:06:11.

BELL We are into the second half of this

:06:12.:06:20.

middleweight final, Savannah Marshall, the reigning world

:06:21.:06:26.

champion, wearing blue, from Hartlepool. And her opponent, from

:06:27.:06:36.

Qu?bec, it has been incredibly competitive in this final. Marshall

:06:37.:06:41.

put that Olympic disappointment behind her. She won the combat games

:06:42.:06:48.

but she suffered from a variety of injuries. His shoulder, foot, she

:06:49.:06:57.

was not healthy enough to compete. The Great Britain squad just eased

:06:58.:07:04.

her back into competition. It took a little bit of time to get going in

:07:05.:07:06.

this contest. She has enjoyed really

:07:07.:07:14.

displays after that bout with the She has enjoyed really

:07:15.:07:19.

Indian boxer. She has really found her movement and particularly

:07:20.:07:25.

hijab, has been a really impressive Bassett during this tournament.

:07:26.:07:27.

Particularly Bassett during this tournament.

:07:28.:07:36.

victory. I would like to see Savannah Marshall throwing a fuel

:07:37.:07:42.

more left hooks. -- a few more left hooks. Fortin had success with that

:07:43.:07:55.

left-hand. She has to make it clear, she cannot give Fortin any

:07:56.:07:58.

opportunity to get anywhere near range so she can land her own shop.

:07:59.:08:10.

-- her own shots. That landed right on the button. Fortin falling short

:08:11.:08:15.

and there is the bell to conclude round number three. And incredibly

:08:16.:08:25.

tight encounter as you would expect. One of them will have World

:08:26.:08:33.

Championship gold on their resume. Marshall just getting caught with

:08:34.:08:37.

the rear hand of Fortin. A little half step back and attempts a jab.

:08:38.:08:51.

Again, it is split. Judge capital A has scored four Fortin in every

:08:52.:09:11.

round. Peer the coaches instructing Savannah Marshall that they need a

:09:12.:09:16.

big round. BELL To the fourth and final round. Top

:09:17.:09:24.

spot on the podium is what is being competed for here. Savannah Marshall

:09:25.:09:30.

wearing blue, trying to keep at bay the onrushing aggressor, Ariane

:09:31.:09:35.

Fortin from Canada. Fortin proving impossible to resist. Good left

:09:36.:09:39.

hands to the body and head from Marshall. Fortin is not great on his

:09:40.:09:47.

footwork. Marshall so superior with her feet. She just needs to find the

:09:48.:09:52.

angles and step off laterally. Fortin very flat-footed. Marshall

:09:53.:10:00.

will make it so difficult for Fortin in this last round. Marshall

:10:01.:10:08.

continuing to work behind that left jab in insidious fashion. Left up to

:10:09.:10:16.

the body, just around the back of the rib cage. Fortin continuing to

:10:17.:10:19.

drive a way forward. That will leave an impression in the judges's mind.

:10:20.:10:32.

Aggression is often favoured. A good left cross a few moments ago from

:10:33.:10:38.

Fortin. Marshall can box on the inside but she needs to make it a

:10:39.:10:43.

bit clearer. If you box on the inside, it is difficult for the

:10:44.:10:44.

judges to see. Hard left hook. Another one getting

:10:45.:11:01.

through. Marshall just covering up. Fortin continues to drive her way

:11:02.:11:04.

forward and take the bout to the English reigning world championship

:11:05.:11:12.

gold-medallist. Fortin ending the contest on the front foot. What an

:11:13.:11:19.

incredibly tight bout we have just had for the middleweight gold medal

:11:20.:11:22.

here at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Fortin gave it her all and

:11:23.:11:30.

produced a spirited display in the fourth and final round. Particularly

:11:31.:11:35.

taking the bout to marshal. -- Marshall. That was an incredibly

:11:36.:11:43.

competitive bout. One of high skill and accurate punching. How will the

:11:44.:11:50.

judges score it? Fortin did exactly what she needed to do, putting the

:11:51.:11:54.

pressure on Marshall. Marshall throwing body shots. Nip and tuck,

:11:55.:12:02.

difficult to decide. We will see what the judges come up with. Ariane

:12:03.:12:12.

Fortin bouncing in anticipation of this verdict. Savannah Marshall not

:12:13.:12:18.

the most demonstrative of boxers. ANNOUNCER: We have the judges's

:12:19.:12:25.

decision, a split decision. In favour of the winner, now

:12:26.:12:33.

gold-medallist, Commonwealth Games women's middleweight champion, in

:12:34.:12:36.

the blue corner, representing England, Savannah Marshall!

:12:37.:12:47.

She breaks into a smile a mile wide. Just crowned the Commonwealth Games

:12:48.:12:53.

middleweight champion. A split decision victory over the former

:12:54.:13:00.

gold-medallist from Canada. What a courageous display. The boxer coming

:13:01.:13:08.

up against somebody with plenty of experience, World Championship

:13:09.:13:14.

credentials, but it was Marshall, back into the ring for the first

:13:15.:13:19.

time in some eight months, who will occupy top spot on the podium. That

:13:20.:13:23.

was the moment it was announced to the crowd. Make no mistake, Fortin

:13:24.:13:31.

played her part in a terrific, competitive encounter. But Marshall

:13:32.:13:38.

is the first woman's middleweight champion in the history of the

:13:39.:13:39.

Commonwealth Games. Three gold medals in the women's

:13:40.:13:51.

category, two one by England, one by Australia. Many congratulations, say

:13:52.:14:01.

hello to everybody in Hartlepool. Hello, everyone.

:14:02.:14:08.

How do you feel? Over the moon, so happy.

:14:09.:14:15.

Did you think you had got it? I knew I had taken the first three

:14:16.:14:21.

rounds but you never know what the judges think.

:14:22.:14:27.

One of them call it completely one-way, one the other. What did you

:14:28.:14:31.

make of it? It was a great fight. What did you

:14:32.:14:38.

make of this amazing crowd? It has been great. It felt like a

:14:39.:14:44.

lot more people than in the other stadium.

:14:45.:14:48.

How much sweeter is this given your injuries?

:14:49.:14:55.

It is great. My first time back in eight months, two take gold, I am

:14:56.:15:03.

just so proud of myself. There was a time I could not even punch. I was

:15:04.:15:08.

struggling to lift one kilogram dumbbells.

:15:09.:15:16.

Did you feel any pressure, in these Commonwealth Games?

:15:17.:15:23.

A little bit. I thought, I have not fought for eight months. It was a

:15:24.:15:28.

lot of pressure on myself. Do you have the strength to lift up

:15:29.:15:33.

a gold medal? I think I'll manage!

:15:34.:15:40.

You can probably hear behind us the introductions to the next fighters.

:15:41.:15:54.

Jangra, of India, against Fitzgerald, his moment of truth, it

:15:55.:16:01.

will be a fascinating contest. I am looking forward to this one,

:16:02.:16:09.

and the next. This was my weight division. I watched the fight

:16:10.:16:17.

yesterday, he put on a great fight. A strong kid, very aggressive. And

:16:18.:16:25.

the Indian is a good fighter, very skilful. A tough one to call.

:16:26.:16:38.

This is a real 50-50 fight. Can Scott Fitzgerald make it to medals?

:16:39.:16:47.

This is to decide the 20th Commonwealth Games men's

:16:48.:16:56.

welterweight champion. It is now time to meet the fighters. Alt of

:16:57.:17:07.

the red corner, representing England, Scott Fitzgerald! And in

:17:08.:17:15.

the blue corner, representing India, Mandeep Jangra!

:17:16.:17:27.

The referee for this one is from Slovakia.

:17:28.:17:40.

The pre-fight instructions have been issue to. -- issued. And there is

:17:41.:17:58.

the opening bell. Contrasting styles but high levels of skill. Mandeep

:17:59.:18:08.

Jangra, 12th ranked in the world. The man in the red, Scott

:18:09.:18:15.

Fitzgerald, from Preston. Jangra, lots of tempting and teasing. Scott

:18:16.:18:20.

Fitzgerald is a classic counterpuncher.

:18:21.:18:29.

Fitzgerald's counterpuncher.

:18:30.:18:37.

crucial against a good opponent. He needs to be sharp and accurate.

:18:38.:18:46.

Those are the shots I would like to see him throw.

:18:47.:18:54.

Very important. Very seldom does he hold his feet, Mandeep Jangra uses

:18:55.:19:02.

every inch of the ring for cashing in with daring combinations and

:19:03.:19:14.

retreating, invariably with his hand down. He draws the attention of the

:19:15.:19:23.

referee, Fitzgerald retreats to the neutral corner, whilst repairs are

:19:24.:19:28.

carried out on Mandeep Jangra's footwear.

:19:29.:19:35.

That is good timing from Fitzgerald and what he must get right. But he

:19:36.:19:43.

does tend to jump in, gets caught! Lovely stuff!

:19:44.:19:53.

We said that Fitzgerald possesses quite a punch. Jangra, he just

:19:54.:19:59.

experienced it first hand. quite a punch. Jangra, he just

:20:00.:20:12.

another jolting left hand! Pinning his man to the ropes. Working the

:20:13.:20:18.

body. Good work, but the cot has opened

:20:19.:20:29.

up. -- cut. He sustained his second contest. He

:20:30.:20:37.

has been fighting with it ever since. It has opened up in the first

:20:38.:20:43.

round. He said it did not bother him when it opened up in previous fights

:20:44.:20:47.

but his corner will really have their work cut out to stem the flow

:20:48.:21:02.

of lob. Blood. What an opening round for the English man. But that is a

:21:03.:21:07.

bad cut. Timing is the key for Fitzgerald as

:21:08.:21:26.

his opponent comes forward. He missed with his own shot and then

:21:27.:21:30.

got caught with a superb left book. Cracking punch. -- left hook. Almost

:21:31.:21:43.

paid the price of being knocked out. That is the head clash which may

:21:44.:21:44.

have opened up the cut. The opening round was undoubtedly a

:21:45.:22:05.

dominant one for Scott Fitzgerald. But what we have seen June the

:22:06.:22:09.

course of these Commonwealth Games is that a knock-down does not

:22:10.:22:13.

necessarily mean 10-8, as it would be in the professional ranks, in

:22:14.:22:19.

favour of the fighter who scored it. He comes out using his left jab to

:22:20.:22:26.

to refit effectiveness. -- terrific. Left jab again. He is

:22:27.:22:35.

working that most fundamental of punches wonderfully at the beginning

:22:36.:22:43.

of this second round. Yes, if Jangra Johnson, shorten the shot, but just

:22:44.:22:55.

keep to your basic boxing. -- jumps in.

:22:56.:23:04.

Again, stepping in with that jab. In stark contrast to Jangra, whose

:23:05.:23:16.

punch tend to be more of a snaking variety. And he buckled over. He

:23:17.:23:27.

complained that was low. And what a right hand! Sent to the canvas for

:23:28.:23:34.

the second time in the contest. Fitzgerald is proving to be a

:23:35.:23:43.

terrific finisher. He has Jangra in trouble, and rubber legs.

:23:44.:23:56.

There is another right hand. The referee gives another standing

:23:57.:24:00.

count. It is the third we have seen for

:24:01.:24:06.

Mandeep Jangra, this time of the standing variety. Right hand once

:24:07.:24:14.

more. Everything landing from Fitzgerald now. Jolting left hand

:24:15.:24:24.

once again. Jangra, trying to get his fight back together. But it

:24:25.:24:28.

appears to be an increasingly forlorn endeavour. Less than 30

:24:29.:24:39.

seconds in this round. Another dominant session for Fitzgerald in

:24:40.:24:44.

this welterweight final. And what is impressive is he is just

:24:45.:24:49.

getting back to basics and not getting excited about the situation.

:24:50.:24:54.

He has clearly won this round again. A great display.

:24:55.:25:00.

That was no knock-down, says the referee, but the bell sounds, and it

:25:01.:25:07.

is not a moment too soon for Mandeep Jangra.

:25:08.:25:16.

They will be pleased in that corner. This is all about timing, what a

:25:17.:25:20.

super shot. Right hand, over the top, Jangra coming forward with that

:25:21.:25:29.

low left hand, and Fitzgerald kept it nice, plain and simple. Great

:25:30.:25:37.

fighting from him. Jangra, missing the target, paying the price, and

:25:38.:25:45.

let's look at the scores, that will do.

:25:46.:25:51.

Scott Fitzgerald in complete control of this welterweight final. We move

:25:52.:26:02.

into the third round. Scott Fitzgerald, in red, he has been the

:26:03.:26:08.

master of the man in blue, representing India, Mandeep Jangra.

:26:09.:26:20.

He put him on the floor twice. Then Jangra had to take a standing count

:26:21.:26:25.

after getting into trouble again. Now, Fitzgerald just looking to

:26:26.:26:30.

fight in the manner he has done up till this point. And that is what

:26:31.:26:35.

has been impressive, he has not been loading up, all of the power has

:26:36.:26:39.

come from within his flow, and that has been too much for Jangra to

:26:40.:26:47.

withstand at this point. The timing of that right hand was

:26:48.:26:53.

perfect from Fitzgerald. Steadying himself with the jab, just waiting

:26:54.:26:57.

on the attacks, coming forward with low hands. You cannot afford to make

:26:58.:27:03.

those type of mistakes at this level.

:27:04.:27:09.

Jangra, trying to retreat away from trouble. Fitzgerald fought his place

:27:10.:27:17.

in the England team for these Commonwealth Games had gone after he

:27:18.:27:28.

lost in regional qualifiers, thought he was going to miss out on

:27:29.:27:36.

selection, but fought very well at a multi-Nations tournament in

:27:37.:27:39.

Lithuania, impressing the selectors. He made it through the back door,

:27:40.:27:45.

and how well he has what, as he lands another crushing overhead

:27:46.:27:49.

right. A jab, jolting the Indian fighter backwards.

:27:50.:27:57.

Jangra, throwing shorts from all over the place but his accuracy is

:27:58.:28:05.

awful. -- shots. Fitzgerald, still well in control.

:28:06.:28:11.

A beautiful corkscrew right over the top. Perhaps the reflex -- reflexes

:28:12.:28:39.

of Jangra have been dulled, he is going to have to produce a knockout

:28:40.:28:44.

punch if you want to claim top spot on the podium. Fitzgerald remains

:28:45.:28:50.

poised and using the jab to terrific effect. His left book, just shot of

:28:51.:28:59.

the target. They end the contest at close quarters. At the final bell,

:29:00.:29:05.

little doubt that 22 old Scott Fitzgerald, from Preston, he will

:29:06.:29:10.

occupy top spot on the medal rostrum. The cut did not play a

:29:11.:29:21.

significant role in the outcome. He remained focused on the task at

:29:22.:29:34.

hand. Surely he is on the way to being crowned gold-medallist here in

:29:35.:29:41.

Glasgow. His straight hand work was lovely, there is a little left hook

:29:42.:29:46.

to the body. Superb timing. Right hand especially but for me, that jab

:29:47.:29:50.

was crucial, it hit the target almost every time. Measuring that

:29:51.:29:56.

distance and gap. Tremendous. ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, we

:29:57.:30:12.

have the judges's results, all are in agreement with a unanimous

:30:13.:30:19.

decision. The Commonwealth Games men's welterweight champion, in the

:30:20.:30:23.

red corner, representing England, Scott Fitzgerald! , Tait Scott

:30:24.:30:32.

Fitzgerald does a little dance around the boxing ring. He has just

:30:33.:30:38.

been crowned the Commonwealth Games champion, 2014. A wonderful display

:30:39.:30:47.

of boxing. The jab was a thing of beauty during the course of that

:30:48.:30:52.

contest, it was a power jab. Powerful punches from both the left

:30:53.:30:57.

and the right, all in all, it was too much for Mandeep Jangra. He has

:30:58.:31:07.

had a terrific tournament. Scott Fitzgerald using punches straight

:31:08.:31:12.

and true and conventional, have been more than a match for Mandeep

:31:13.:31:21.

Jangra. Scott Fitzgerald will occupy top spot, the gold medal position in

:31:22.:31:25.

the welterweight tournament. Handshakes all around. His dad,

:31:26.:31:30.

Dave, and his coach, will be absolutely delighted. He has boxed

:31:31.:31:38.

superbly to earn himself a Commonwealth Games gold medal.

:31:39.:31:47.

How impressed were you? Very impressive. He has power and speed.

:31:48.:31:54.

He nearly got the knockout punch. Great performance. Congratulations,

:31:55.:32:02.

Commonwealth champion! I cannot believe it. Coming here eight weeks

:32:03.:32:06.

ago, I just wanted to win at least a fight and I have come here and won

:32:07.:32:09.

the competition. I cannot believe it. In the heat of the battle, I

:32:10.:32:18.

know, but take us back a few weeks when you lost in regional

:32:19.:32:22.

qualifying, you must have thought your Commonwealth Games were over? I

:32:23.:32:25.

thought there was no chance of me getting picked. I had a good

:32:26.:32:36.

competition in Lithuania. A lot of people thought I should not have

:32:37.:32:39.

been picked and I have won the gold, I am really made up. I was very

:32:40.:32:44.

impressed. It was a great performance. You put him down, did

:32:45.:32:53.

it give you extra confidence? I knew he was ranked pretty high in the

:32:54.:33:02.

world. I was focused. I knew I had hit him with my shots. It really

:33:03.:33:08.

gave me confidence. Somebody will put something else round your neck

:33:09.:33:12.

in half an hour's time, will that be the best moment of your life? Just

:33:13.:33:18.

being here has been the best experience of my life and getting

:33:19.:33:23.

the gold, it is another level. It is well deserved and you have been

:33:24.:33:27.

great to watch all week. Congratulations. We have got Tom

:33:28.:33:34.

Daley and Usain Bolt as attractions elsewhere and Anthony Fowler and Joe

:33:35.:33:36.

Joyce coming up later. Thanks to John Inverdale and Amir

:33:37.:33:47.

Khan. Congratulations to Scott Fitzgerald. A bit more boxing on BBC

:33:48.:33:54.

Three tonight. If you would continue to watch the boxing, you can press

:33:55.:34:00.

your red button now. As for here, it is that time of night and we are

:34:01.:34:02.

going diving. I still get terrified, every single

:34:03.:34:18.

time. Ten metres is a long way down. You know you are going to hit the

:34:19.:34:25.

water at 34 mph. So you cannot think about the things that could happen.

:34:26.:34:32.

It is all about confronting fear. Peak physical condition just is not

:34:33.:34:38.

enough. You have to gain mental strength. You only game that when

:34:39.:34:39.

things go wrong. You keep pushing through. You do not

:34:40.:34:52.

hear any noise. You hear your feet on the board and nothing else.

:34:53.:35:01.

In life, sometimes, you need fear so you can face it.

:35:02.:35:13.

And every single time I dive, I feel completely alive.

:35:14.:35:31.

We are leaving the BBC studio in Glasgow to head straight to

:35:32.:35:37.

Edinburgh. It is the final of the ten-metre platform. Watching the

:35:38.:35:43.

action, all above her, is Helen Skelton.

:35:44.:35:50.

You have come to me as I have to be as quiet as a mouse in this electric

:35:51.:35:55.

atmosphere. We are waiting for Dominic to do his ten-metre platform

:35:56.:36:01.

dive. The atmosphere is electric, you will hear it erupt in a moment,

:36:02.:36:07.

partly because Tom Daley is in the building and there are two other

:36:08.:36:11.

English divers here, the first was Matthew Dixon. Brace yourselves, he

:36:12.:36:21.

is so cute! He is an absolute baby faced assassin. 14 years old, he

:36:22.:36:26.

died in Plymouth. This was his first dive, one of the more difficult

:36:27.:36:31.

ones, and the crowd absolutely love him. Inevitable comparisons between

:36:32.:36:37.

him and Tom Daley. He is off to a good start. We are almost at the

:36:38.:36:43.

turn of James Denny and then we get to Tom Daley. A lot of people have

:36:44.:36:50.

come to see him. That great rivalry continuing.

:36:51.:36:58.

Looking forward to two more English divers to come. James Denny and Tom

:36:59.:37:03.

Daley who will go last. Just letting the dive run away, the

:37:04.:37:19.

take-off was good. Possibly just a bit more forward momentum. This

:37:20.:37:26.

could make controlling the dive a bit more challenging. Just rolling

:37:27.:37:29.

over there, a little bit of splash being thrown up. Relatively low

:37:30.:37:34.

degree of difficulty compared to some of the dies in his repertoire.

:37:35.:37:37.

He is a little bit off the pace. James Denny, second of the English

:37:38.:37:50.

men. That is the silver-medallist of the

:37:51.:38:05.

British Championships on the platform.

:38:06.:38:11.

In which three and a half somersaults with dark will stop --

:38:12.:38:19.

three and a half somersaults with a tuck.

:38:20.:38:30.

It is a good start from James Denny, really clean on the

:38:31.:38:33.

It is a good start from James Denny, little short as he goes in, he does

:38:34.:38:41.

not quite to straighten out enough. He has a good look at the water

:38:42.:38:44.

not quite to straighten out enough. he has his backside stuck out a

:38:45.:38:50.

little as he goes in. If he had straightened out completely, he

:38:51.:38:52.

would be getting eight, maybe even more. We have James Denny, Tom Daley

:38:53.:39:10.

and Matthew Dixon, three D Shaul. -- three D s.

:39:11.:39:26.

This dive that has not quite put in the performance yet to suggest he is

:39:27.:39:35.

a medallist. He dived very well this morning. He is middle of the pack.

:39:36.:39:48.

Diving in reverse order. This is actually a relatively easy twist

:39:49.:39:53.

compared to what you will see others try. It has worked out OK for him.

:39:54.:40:06.

The marks we wait for, the judges are either indecisive... We cannot

:40:07.:40:13.

bring you what he has got just yet. It will be appearing on your

:40:14.:40:19.

screen... They will have to re-import the scores.

:40:20.:40:27.

I did have a question as to why all of the marks did not count. It is

:40:28.:40:41.

about finding the average. Seven judges. Taking into account the

:40:42.:40:49.

degree of difficulty. As easy as that!

:40:50.:40:58.

Very impressive. These young Canadians, this diver is 17 years

:40:59.:41:10.

old, a great future in front of him, this is the easiest dive. Steady

:41:11.:41:18.

style. Six dives, six consistently good guides. Let's see how this

:41:19.:41:26.

young man gets on. -- six consistently good dives. He has just

:41:27.:41:34.

come out of the world juniors. Bouchard has been persuaded to come

:41:35.:41:50.

back. There is some metal in that body. There will be different

:41:51.:42:00.

variances. Some people like to do this with a towel, some people do

:42:01.:42:02.

not. little bit of a wobble in the

:42:03.:42:39.

handstand balance. As he exits the dive he thinks she is lower to the

:42:40.:42:45.

water, but it is a mistake, and he over rotates. Not a disaster, but

:42:46.:42:53.

not as strong as I have seen from him in training.

:42:54.:43:14.

He is behind Bedggood, Riendeau, and Denny. A little chat with the

:43:15.:43:29.

Canadian coach about something. Let's wait and see. We don't have

:43:30.:43:41.

any microphone stand there. But there was a discussion. No idea what

:43:42.:43:51.

was discussed. To make a protest you need to do so right away. We will

:43:52.:43:57.

find out afterwards. Now, the competition really starts. The head

:43:58.:44:17.

to head. Mitchum versus Daley. There you go! The pressure beginning to

:44:18.:44:25.

tell. Did the delay: Send to lose concentration? Because that was a

:44:26.:44:33.

mistake. His easiest dive and he fluffed it. You cannot start your

:44:34.:44:38.

campaign like that when you are taking on Tom Daley.

:44:39.:44:55.

Already ground to make up for the gold-medallist Beijing 2008. So, Tom

:44:56.:45:10.

Daley, and stand to start. When he performed this dive in the

:45:11.:45:20.

preliminaries this morning, 75.30. Just to give you a little heads up.

:45:21.:45:37.

Welcome to the men's ten metres platform final, that was the

:45:38.:45:47.

defending champion, his first dive, and he will get nines and tens. He

:45:48.:45:55.

has capitalised on Mitcham leaving the door open. Beautiful dive, game

:45:56.:46:07.

on. 94.5, compared with 73.5. What a

:46:08.:46:15.

massive swing. 44 points on one dive. And there it is. You do not

:46:16.:46:24.

even see Mitcham in the frame, he is on page two. Everybody wants to get

:46:25.:46:43.

a snapshot of Tom Daley, so the crowd just been told to turn those

:46:44.:46:55.

flashes off. Some concern for this young man, we saw him in training

:46:56.:47:01.

and he was not getting anything right. Let's hope he gets through

:47:02.:47:09.

this unscathed. This is his big dive of the programme.

:47:10.:47:28.

components were there, the take-off was good enough, and extension from

:47:29.:47:34.

the lakes, a safe distance from the diving board, just is not quite

:47:35.:47:38.

confident enough to straighten out quickly. A little bit loose and

:47:39.:47:47.

soft, therefore will not get more than the marks coming up. 5.5 is

:47:48.:47:53.

about right, but with confidence, he could get seven.

:47:54.:48:05.

In training he seemed to be doing too much thinking and his dives

:48:06.:48:09.

suffered because of it. 14-year-old, Matt Dixon. Now stepping up to the

:48:10.:48:22.

senior ranks. To keep up with the others this needs to be very good,

:48:23.:48:24.

for the young man. A tremendous entry into the water,

:48:25.:48:39.

just a little bit untidy as he gets in. The jump is good, 14 years old,

:48:40.:48:48.

sports the water, kicks out, just tips his feet over, he got 8.5

:48:49.:48:55.

earlier, I think this will only get 7.5, just a little bit of a wobble

:48:56.:49:02.

on the way in. All right, the middle in terms of

:49:03.:49:22.

marks. Yiwei, prefers a different stance to

:49:23.:49:24.

the one used by Tom Daley. 3.2 Yiwei, prefers a different stance to

:49:25.:49:36.

degree of difficulty. He is in fourth place.

:49:37.:49:45.

Nice, from Yiwei. Sometimes struggles with his form. Aseptically

:49:46.:49:57.

pleasing movements, look pretty, impress the judges. --

:49:58.:50:20.

aesthetically. We discount the top and bottom

:50:21.:50:23.

scores and just include the middle three. Still plenty to go. His lead

:50:24.:50:36.

will not last for long. Will he be overtaken on this dive? Although,

:50:37.:50:49.

after a good start this morning, Bedggood slowed down. The first

:50:50.:50:56.

Australian we will see, Mitcham being the other.

:50:57.:51:03.

Yes, not very good this morning, that was better, but can still be

:51:04.:51:10.

improved. Completes the dive very easily but is just not quite

:51:11.:51:13.

straighten his body out in the end, if you did so, he could get as high

:51:14.:51:27.

as nine. Looking to try to add to his collection. But not probably at

:51:28.:51:33.

the moment, and platform, will he be in the top three shake-up.

:51:34.:51:58.

This is a miniscule, in comparison, 3.2 for Li of New Zealand.

:51:59.:52:09.

What can still go wrong, he fights out of that very early, but feels as

:52:10.:52:14.

though he is stock, so just rolls over. He will not get eight, just

:52:15.:52:21.

seven. 7.2. Those of you who have been with

:52:22.:52:30.

us all week probably think, we know this now, but it is the degree of

:52:31.:52:36.

difficulty multiplied by the scores that count. We have seen Tom Daley,

:52:37.:52:48.

we will now see James Denny. Handstand somersault. Took a medal

:52:49.:52:54.

in the platform synchro last night. It is good. It is good all the way

:52:55.:53:20.

until the entry. Steady balance, flicking the legs, squeezing into

:53:21.:53:28.

the top shape, then just allowing his feet to tip over with him,

:53:29.:53:32.

giving the impression the dive is going over. Just needs to extend a

:53:33.:53:39.

little more, stay vertical, a minor error. His coach, Adrian

:53:40.:53:47.

Hinchcliffe, from the Leeds diving club.

:53:48.:54:00.

Yiwei, just ahead of him, he will have his eye on a bronze medal and

:54:01.:54:06.

will not see Tom Daley or Mitcham as invincible.

:54:07.:54:20.

Most mere mortals find this quite a tricky thing to watch.

:54:21.:54:38.

Leaving the dive marginally shot of vertical there as he enters the

:54:39.:54:45.

water. It is great when you get the camera to zoom in and see the

:54:46.:54:48.

concentration and effort that goes in. Only going to get 6.5. Will that

:54:49.:55:01.

be good enough to stay in contention for medals?

:55:02.:55:09.

Not likely. He is third right now but it could easily be six or seven

:55:10.:55:15.

by the end of this round. There will be lots of fluctuations in position.

:55:16.:55:22.

An impressive start for this man. Definitely a start of the diving.

:55:23.:55:29.

Riley McCormac has retired. This, a new staff. -- star. The heir

:55:30.:55:46.

apparent. Off he goes, and down he goes,

:55:47.:55:53.

really tidy. Good, strong push off the hands. He does lose his feet,

:55:54.:56:05.

marginally, they kind of flutter, the judges might penalised that. One

:56:06.:56:12.

judge has. The others either ignoring it or missed it.

:56:13.:56:30.

I like a flutter, but I never win! Bouchard, happy to be with us after

:56:31.:56:37.

the problems she has gone through. A clean, vertical entry into the

:56:38.:56:45.

water. He will be in the mix for the bronze. That will much him over 70

:56:46.:56:59.

points. -- nudge. The 8.5 is discarded, only three marks will add

:57:00.:57:15.

up. This was a 75.6 this morning for Matthew Mitcham, there has been a 23

:57:16.:57:26.

point swing against him. A big margin to make up already. On his

:57:27.:57:32.

handstand back double somersault 2.5 twists. A nine might take him into

:57:33.:57:46.

the lead. Not likely... Or is it? Beautiful balance. He cranked the

:57:47.:57:51.

start a little bit too much, gave its too much means, and could not

:57:52.:57:58.

stop the rotation. You have so many twists to do and it is easy to over

:57:59.:58:07.

rotate. That is exactly what Mitcham has done. This could prove to be

:58:08.:58:17.

critical. His mixed dive is crucial. -- next. He would describe it as his

:58:18.:58:29.

bogey dive. He is composing himself, he takes a

:58:30.:58:47.

long time over this. It is better than this morning. He

:58:48.:59:04.

still struggled with it, but it is a step in the right direction. It is a

:59:05.:59:09.

step in the right direction but it is not as good as he did in Mexico.

:59:10.:59:17.

The judges will give him six is. He needs and 11-metre platform, if you

:59:18.:59:20.

are going to take off like that, you need to extend the legs. He is not

:59:21.:59:27.

quite as relaxed as he needs to be. He is watching the replay, the

:59:28.:59:32.

judges do not see the replay. If you want the gold, Tom, it is yours to

:59:33.:59:40.

take. This is a massive swing for him. Daly leading.

:59:41.:00:00.

This diver takes longer over this dive as does -- van Rafa Nadal does

:00:01.:00:08.

over a service! According to my timekeeper, 28

:00:09.:00:47.

seconds thinking about it! Only 1.5 seconds to complete the dive. This

:00:48.:00:54.

is very good from him. In training, he was every which way but upright

:00:55.:01:00.

but the time when it counts, in the competition, he has nailed it. The

:01:01.:01:04.

man from India land upright, vertical. This morning, it did not

:01:05.:01:13.

work from him. The length of time he was cogitating. But that worked all

:01:14.:01:18.

right. He will not be in the top ten the way things are looking. A huge

:01:19.:01:25.

cheer for this young man who really does seem to be relishing a chance

:01:26.:01:30.

of performing in front of this audience. 14 years of age from

:01:31.:01:37.

Plymouth. Bronze at the European juniors. He was very close to 400

:01:38.:01:44.

marks at the British Championships. Former gymnast, now diver. You can

:01:45.:01:53.

see the strapping on his arm. It is a great take-off, so composed

:01:54.:02:06.

and balanced. Beautiful handstand, you could see his gymnastics

:02:07.:02:12.

background. Gymnasts at home will see what is needed to get that

:02:13.:02:17.

forward rotation without having a springboard and a vault to get. He

:02:18.:02:23.

cranks it a little bit too much and over he goes. For the time being, he

:02:24.:02:31.

goes into the lead but he is only the second one up so it will not

:02:32.:02:33.

last for long. A brilliant experience for him. This

:02:34.:02:49.

diver from Malaysia is in third place at the moment. This one will

:02:50.:02:56.

be performed in the tuck position. This is a back three and a half

:02:57.:03:08.

somersaults. What a mess, what a shame. Faltering

:03:09.:03:29.

as he went into the water. Drifting too far away from the diving board

:03:30.:03:33.

which means that when you come out of the dive, it is difficult to

:03:34.:03:38.

control and over he goes. That is our second or third surfboard moment

:03:39.:03:43.

of this competition. Tidal wave in coming. Splashing away from the

:03:44.:03:49.

diving board. Judge three was Simon Cowell! Judge two saw it in

:03:50.:04:03.

completely a different way. Dominic Bedggood.

:04:04.:04:16.

Dominic Bedggood currently in second place. Back three and a half

:04:17.:04:27.

somersaults with a tart and at the moment he is pushing pressure on Tom

:04:28.:04:37.

Daley. That is exactly the same, he went surfing on the bottom. Way

:04:38.:04:41.

over. Just shows you how difficult these guys are. This is the time you

:04:42.:04:46.

need to get your surfboard out, there is the wave. Live as a wave,

:04:47.:05:02.

he just did! -- give us a wave. He will have a big reparation job to do

:05:03.:05:09.

after that. That will stand him way down the pegging. Could easily go

:05:10.:05:16.

from second into seventh place now. That is good. That is how you do

:05:17.:05:49.

it! He has disappeared with that entry. Just got his boots on, his

:05:50.:05:54.

feet are flat. He eventually points his toes. Much better, the best of

:05:55.:06:08.

the back three and a half s. Even at this stage, the medals are

:06:09.:06:13.

definitely up for grabs. Tom Daley needs to keep the consistency going.

:06:14.:06:21.

A silver and bronze knocked out of the range of anybody in the top

:06:22.:06:25.

order at the moment. Including this young man, James Denny. A slightly

:06:26.:06:32.

different form of the dive we have seen. A tuck to a pike.

:06:33.:06:53.

That is one of the dives him and Tom used in the synchronised dives last

:06:54.:07:11.

night. He is landing pretty much on the backs of his legs. This is such

:07:12.:07:15.

a difficult dive and when it goes wrong, it can go drastically wrong.

:07:16.:07:20.

He will drop down the leaderboard with that one. Most of the divers

:07:21.:07:30.

are having problems with that dive. More and more, it is looking as if

:07:31.:07:35.

they will not be as much pressure as we thought on Tom Daley. This diver

:07:36.:07:40.

had a poor second round dive. That is back on track. Very good

:07:41.:07:59.

from him. His easiest dive. Such a strong athlete, leaps off the diving

:08:00.:08:04.

board, just rolling into the water. He will get eight on that, that will

:08:05.:08:10.

help him. He will be top of the leaderboard for the time being.

:08:11.:08:20.

The main movers and shakers are about to perform. The halfway stage

:08:21.:08:25.

is approaching. He has taken it on. The Canadians,

:08:26.:08:55.

both of them, another one to follow shortly. Good dives, this one in

:08:56.:09:03.

particular. It is tricky, 3.4. Anything above 70 points is good, 75

:09:04.:09:09.

points, even better. Up into the higher echelons, we go. I would not

:09:10.:09:14.

be surprised if this man is not on the podium later. He started with

:09:15.:09:18.

great confidence and with a great attitude. It might be a battle

:09:19.:09:21.

between the Canadians for medals here. Or it might not be Matt

:09:22.:09:33.

Mitcham's night. Bouchard is not too far shy of a top three finish. With

:09:34.:09:40.

everybody else faltering, it is time for him to step up.

:09:41.:09:49.

It is an unusual technique, he is balancing on his tiptoes and

:09:50.:10:21.

standing forwards. That is highly unusual. He took ages to go as well.

:10:22.:10:28.

It is not as good as his team-mate's dive. He will be a bit

:10:29.:10:34.

further away from where he was on his previous round. That will only

:10:35.:10:36.

get 5.5 s. Round three, this morning, was a

:10:37.:10:59.

very good dive for Matt Mitcham, his best dive of the competition. A very

:11:00.:11:03.

good dive for Matt Mitcham, his best dive of the competition. It is a

:11:04.:11:14.

good dive for Mitcham. Managing to keep the splashdown. It is the rip

:11:15.:11:21.

entry we are looking for. He will only get 8.5 maybe, he needed to be

:11:22.:11:29.

completely rolled up to be 9.5 or ten which is what he would need to

:11:30.:11:33.

put pressure on Tom Daley. This is a big dive though, 85 points plus. He

:11:34.:11:38.

got a 450 total this morning. Joy big dive though, 85 points plus. He

:11:39.:11:43.

and delight for Matt Mitcham. He has come close to any late in what he

:11:44.:11:46.

did this morning but he has not quite done it. A couple of points

:11:47.:11:52.

down on that dive from the prelims. Putting him into second place for

:11:53.:11:55.

now which in effect will probably be third place after this.

:11:56.:12:10.

A big reception for a big dive. His weakest dive though, it does not

:12:11.:12:13.

always translate into how it looks in execution. We will know any

:12:14.:12:16.

moment now. He just missed it slightly. He has

:12:17.:12:33.

been working so hard on this. A really good, strong start, trust

:12:34.:12:38.

rolling over as he goes into the water. We'll get 8.5, probably not

:12:39.:12:45.

good enough for nine. But he will be over 80 points. He knows in his head

:12:46.:12:53.

how that compares with this morning. Not that favourably. First time on

:12:54.:13:01.

his evening performance that he is down on marks, but only marginally.

:13:02.:13:10.

Mitcham, he has woken up and arrived at the party now, in third place.

:13:11.:13:17.

James Denny in eighth, Matt Dixon, 10th. We have reached halfway and it

:13:18.:13:27.

is looking good for Tom Daley. A gap between him and the rest right now

:13:28.:13:30.

but we are only halfway as I mentioned. Some big dive is still to

:13:31.:13:36.

come. he take over this one? Still not

:13:37.:13:52.

quite ready to go. Karen Pickering summed it up her

:13:53.:14:27.

figure, -- perfectly. When you do not get anywhere near upright, that

:14:28.:14:36.

really does hurt. She has just had the wrath of the water.

:14:37.:15:02.

Let's hope Matt Dixon was not to put off by that. Making his senior debut

:15:03.:15:07.

at the Commonwealth Games. What a dive from the 14-year-old

:15:08.:15:39.

from Plymouth! Absolutely smashed it! That is what he is capable of!

:15:40.:15:48.

Someone big scores coming his way! Good work, Matt Dixon. Physically he

:15:49.:15:56.

might look out of place, but those marks are not. 81.6. Oh my. I did

:15:57.:16:08.

say he would not finish bottom, but he may be a good few places above

:16:09.:16:12.

it, that is sensational and just shows the promise. The coaches have

:16:13.:16:19.

worked so hard with him, a great little programme.

:16:20.:16:26.

3.2, for the Malaysian. That is better from him. Not as good

:16:27.:16:53.

as Matt Dixon, but not far off. A strong take-off. Just using a towel,

:16:54.:17:03.

that is a comfort thing, some of the divers prefer the grip of a towel

:17:04.:17:27.

believe them -- beneath. This man could still be in the

:17:28.:17:40.

shake-up. Dominic Bedggood. 60 will put him above Yiwei.

:17:41.:17:54.

It is better from Bedggood. It went awry in the preliminaries. Just

:17:55.:18:01.

needs to look back a little bit more. Marginally behind as he

:18:02.:18:16.

enters. Where will that put him? 76.5, total marks, for the time

:18:17.:18:24.

being, although the lead keeps changing hands as divers each get

:18:25.:18:26.

their noses in front of the opposition. Several divers to go.

:18:27.:18:40.

After Li, James Denny will be performing. He can go crashing

:18:41.:18:48.

through the 200 barrier, currently in fifth place.

:18:49.:18:54.

through the 200 barrier, currently three place.

:18:55.:19:01.

That just goes to show how difficult these dives are. You need to jump

:19:02.:19:07.

away from the board, spin backwards towards it, he just squeezes his

:19:08.:19:14.

shape and comes out of the dive too early, landing flat on his back.

:19:15.:19:20.

What a shame. His chances of a medal, which

:19:21.:19:25.

previously looked very good, may have just evaporated. The Chinese

:19:26.:19:33.

diver, retired, came back, coaching in Wellington. Decided retirement

:19:34.:19:44.

was not for him. No question but for this man, 20 years of age. About the

:19:45.:19:52.

same age as Tom Daley but we have not seen anything like as much as

:19:53.:19:58.

James Denny. In the sink row with Tom last night, he appears in the

:19:59.:20:06.

individual. -- synchro. Can he improve on what we have just seen

:20:07.:20:12.

from Li? Yes he can. That is much better. He

:20:13.:20:22.

has been working hard up in Leeds at the high-performance diving centre.

:20:23.:20:26.

Does not need to be that far away, tricky to control, but he does a

:20:27.:20:33.

good job. Much better than this morning and in the synchro

:20:34.:20:41.

competition last night. Progress. Maybe not wear his coach

:20:42.:20:47.

wants him to be, but the score means she is above a few, including Li

:20:48.:20:59.

now. Some divers are faltering at the moment. Not getting their top

:21:00.:21:06.

scores. He is in range for a medal having already got the three-metre.

:21:07.:21:20.

This is his back 3.5. Heading towards 300 points if he gets it

:21:21.:21:25.

right. And he does! I thought he was too

:21:26.:21:32.

early, but he knew exactly where he was, good aerial awareness. Do you

:21:33.:21:37.

know where you are when falling to the earth, spinning around, at

:21:38.:21:43.

breakneck speed? Yes, is the answer, if you are Lang! Getting feedback

:21:44.:21:52.

from his coach, also an exceptional diver in his day, used to compete

:21:53.:21:57.

against me, although he was a bit slimmer than!

:21:58.:22:08.

Not as handsome, obviously. I have never rendered you speechless

:22:09.:22:14.

before! Now the young Canadian, 17 years of age. Has been diving in the

:22:15.:22:24.

Canadian programme for 12 years. It is a good diver. Just a little bit

:22:25.:22:33.

of splash, could not keep it down, it looked as though he was going to

:22:34.:22:39.

disappear, then just a little bit of splash being thrown up. It will

:22:40.:22:44.

still get eight and that is keeping his campaign for a medal alive.

:22:45.:22:54.

I like his consistency and attitude and the way he is performing

:22:55.:22:58.

tonight. Excellent dive, eight across the board, takes a -- him

:22:59.:23:15.

above Lang. He cannot be overtaken by Bouchard at this stage. Although

:23:16.:23:27.

we might see some tens. Tom Daley will have something to say about

:23:28.:23:33.

that when he steps up shortly. That is good, a little bit soft going

:23:34.:23:40.

into the water, but looking to pick up on a slightly faltering dive in

:23:41.:23:52.

the previous round. That will help. Make your calculations. 7.5 and

:23:53.:24:08.

eight, counting towards his total. Mitchum, this morning, 67.2, his

:24:09.:24:16.

second lowest score. This is where it can start to swing. At one stage

:24:17.:24:21.

during the preliminary Tom Daley was last. The 2008 Olympic champion.

:24:22.:24:39.

He is not having a good contest at all. This is a very weak from the

:24:40.:24:48.

2008 Olympic champion. He just is not finding his groove. He will be

:24:49.:24:54.

battling to hold onto potential silver here. Nobody smiling, nobody

:24:55.:25:01.

happy, that is more of a forced smile.

:25:02.:25:10.

That chasm between him and Tom Daley opening up fast. But, what, we talk

:25:11.:25:22.

about the big one, this is the one which this morning he sent into the

:25:23.:25:29.

stratosphere. 101.75. Twice she went over 100. We wait for the roof to

:25:30.:25:36.

come off this listed will do. Four and a half somersaults with a tuck.

:25:37.:26:00.

Not as good as this morning but still over 80 points. There is no

:26:01.:26:05.

real competition going on at the moment, Tom is way out in front. A

:26:06.:26:14.

bit like the preliminaries of three metres with Jack Lawless, Tom is now

:26:15.:26:23.

miles ahead of anybody else. Nearly 30 separating him and second place.

:26:24.:26:30.

Mitchum just holding on to the coat-tails of the medals. James

:26:31.:26:41.

Denny in eighth, Dixon in the ninth. Looking good for Tom Daley, very

:26:42.:26:48.

good indeed. But not there yet with that gold medal. We could still see

:26:49.:27:04.

a big dive from Mitchum. First, Pardeshi, forward to half

:27:05.:27:10.

somersaults, with twist. That is the best we have seen from

:27:11.:27:16.

him. Sometimes has a bit of trouble with his twist. But this one, well,

:27:17.:27:24.

his feet and quite pointed, crossed over a little bit. -- are not

:27:25.:27:35.

quite. Rough around the edges. He is saying he is in a bit of pain.

:27:36.:27:43.

I am not in the least bit surprised given what he put himself through

:27:44.:27:48.

this morning. He just kept on that ten metre board until he got it

:27:49.:27:52.

right. No surprise his body is beginning to break down a little

:27:53.:28:00.

bit. Fifth Round 5. Matt Dixon has acquitted himself very well indeed,

:28:01.:28:02.

the 14-year-old from Plymouth. It is a big dive for him, 3.3.

:28:03.:28:31.

Swinging the arms above the head, looking at where you have been, not

:28:32.:28:38.

where you are going. Throwing a bit of splash up, but still, that is

:28:39.:28:42.

probably better than he did this morning. That will be 6.5 s. Good

:28:43.:28:49.

work indeed. So many from Delhi have come back

:28:50.:29:04.

and improved on their performances, four years on. Three, four, five and

:29:05.:29:22.

six are very tightly bunched. This is 3.4, reverse, three and a half

:29:23.:29:28.

somersaults with a tart. -- with a tuck.

:29:29.:29:38.

Oh my goodness, that is like being smacked around the back of the head

:29:39.:29:47.

by a baseball bat. Ouch. It is all OK until now. He does not quite get

:29:48.:29:53.

his hands... Just collapses into the water. I had four reconstructive

:29:54.:30:02.

shoulder operations during my career. His body folded up like one

:30:03.:30:11.

of your deckchairs. Half of his body met the other half of his body going

:30:12.:30:15.

in there. If you people at home will have recoiled. It is like watching

:30:16.:30:20.

Doctor Who, and hiding behind the sofa. Dominic Bedggood of Australia,

:30:21.:30:28.

who wants to get into these medal positions. We cannot assume Tom

:30:29.:30:37.

Daley has won it just yet. Bedggood is fifth. This is the big one. That

:30:38.:30:48.

is good from Bedggood. That is OK. A little bit of splash being thrown

:30:49.:30:54.

out. He needs to squeeze into his tuck shaped a little bit more. He is

:30:55.:31:01.

a little bit scrappy. It is 3.7 so it is worth a lot. Mathematically,

:31:02.:31:09.

the scores multiplied, depending on the degree of difficulty. I bet you

:31:10.:31:18.

are thinking at home, it looks really good but the splashback gives

:31:19.:31:22.

it away a little bit. But he does go into the lead.

:31:23.:31:30.

Our runaway leader at the moment, Tom Daley, to come. We have not seen

:31:31.:31:43.

one of these for a while. He is off. Lowe he is off and he is in and he

:31:44.:31:49.

disappears. Good, strong take-off. One and a half twists, double

:31:50.:31:54.

somersault Andy Goode entry into the water. -- double somersault and a

:31:55.:32:01.

good entry into the water. water. -- double somersault and a

:32:02.:32:12.

not hang around very long! I don't think we will see him on the medal

:32:13.:32:14.

podium later on. Not holding back, the senior English

:32:15.:32:23.

divers here. James Denny has gone for a 3.6.

:32:24.:32:48.

Back, two and a half twists. We have seen this before with Tom Daley.

:32:49.:32:59.

It is good from James Denny. 3.6. Two and a half somersaults, two and

:33:00.:33:07.

a half twists. Good leg extension. Helicopter feet. The judges will

:33:08.:33:14.

came him for that. You have got to keep your legs together and your

:33:15.:33:17.

toes pointed. You cannot be flipping your feet around.

:33:18.:33:31.

The Englishman from Leeds, 20 years of age, the same age as Tom Daley.

:33:32.:33:49.

Liang is profiting from other people around him not doing what they

:33:50.:33:56.

should do. Finding himself in third. But the Canadians will have some

:33:57.:34:04.

thing to say about that. Just, just, just manages to hold onto

:34:05.:34:11.

that. We watched him in training. That is short and vertical but it is

:34:12.:34:17.

tight and good form. That will keep him in contention for a medal.

:34:18.:34:25.

Liang, one dive to go. They have got to get their calculators out, it

:34:26.:34:30.

will get very tight. Those chasing Daley are grouped together very

:34:31.:34:37.

closely. This is an advantage for Liang over Bedggood. Vincent

:34:38.:34:51.

Riendeau. Does that mean "no water"? Or words to that effect, in French?

:34:52.:34:59.

It does not seem quite right for a diver! What is that going to do?

:35:00.:35:10.

Will it help or hinder? It is OK, it is above average, it is a big dive.

:35:11.:35:17.

Max will follow and then Mitcham has downgraded his dive. This will only

:35:18.:35:23.

get seven s which means it will be less than 70 points. Will he bunched

:35:24.:35:31.

up with Liang? I think he will. Yes, precisely what he has done. Two and

:35:32.:35:38.

a half point lead over the Malaysian which is nothing going into the last

:35:39.:35:49.

round. Bouchard. Might just have fallen away from a medal push. If he

:35:50.:35:57.

gets 90, he goes in behind his Canadian colleague. He has done

:35:58.:36:08.

well, just a little bit low on the water, losing it on the take-off,

:36:09.:36:13.

not quite powerful enough, not generating enough spin speed. He

:36:14.:36:17.

needs to get his arms to extend a little bit more through the legs.

:36:18.:36:22.

Just arching as he goes in, it is clean and tidy but he will now drift

:36:23.:36:27.

away from the medal. I think he now has too much to make up. 28 points

:36:28.:36:36.

behind his team-mate. So no medal today for Bouchard. A little heads

:36:37.:36:44.

up on this morning's performance, this was actually Matt Mitcham's

:36:45.:36:46.

worst dive in terms of marks. Much better than it was this

:36:47.:37:06.

morning. Obviously it is a different dive, he is playing safe, I think he

:37:07.:37:11.

has left himself too much to do to challenge Tom for the gold. But he

:37:12.:37:16.

is trying to fight for the silver. Will that getting closer to the

:37:17.:37:21.

Canadian and the Malaysian? It is OK but it is not good enough. I have

:37:22.:37:27.

seen him score straight tens on this dive. He was to ogle to get a medal,

:37:28.:37:31.

that would be a turn up for the books. -- he will struggle to get a

:37:32.:37:34.

medal. The star turn tonight, as so often

:37:35.:37:53.

we have seen him be, the champion from Rome 2009, bronze-medallist for

:37:54.:37:57.

London 2012, Thomas Robert Daly. It is incredible. Hence, tens,

:37:58.:38:23.

tens. Judges you might as well, that was perfect. This is textbook, this

:38:24.:38:28.

is Tom Daley pretty much diving for the gold. If the judges do not give

:38:29.:38:38.

him tens, I think they are wrong. You had joined the strictly come

:38:39.:38:41.

dancing judging panel therefore a moment!

:38:42.:39:01.

Look how tight it is for third and fourth. Matt Mitcham has a big dive

:39:02.:39:15.

at the end. You noticed Tom Daley walking up the steps followed by his

:39:16.:39:22.

coach. They have been lots of questions, but he is moving up to

:39:23.:39:27.

the dry land diving area where he is preparing for each and every dive. I

:39:28.:39:33.

think he has enjoyed being here. His body might not feel quite that way

:39:34.:39:42.

after this competition! 2.7, not a big tariff dive. He is off, you

:39:43.:39:53.

wants to get this competition done. And he has. Six dives. He has hurt

:39:54.:40:01.

himself on quite a few of his dives in training but he is made of tough

:40:02.:40:06.

stuff. He can have a rest now. A beautiful dive to finish. Does not

:40:07.:40:10.

really hold his arms down long enough so the judges were penalised

:40:11.:40:16.

him. -- the judges will penalised him. Two Indian divers here. A huge

:40:17.:40:33.

cheer up once again for the little man. He will look very different in

:40:34.:40:44.

four years time, will Matthew Dixon. Being 14, pint sized and doing a

:40:45.:40:50.

forward two and doing a forward twist. He has really gone for it. He

:40:51.:41:05.

actually landed on the head of the ten-metre board and he pushed so

:41:06.:41:10.

much effort into it. Pops up into the air, just a bit of an over

:41:11.:41:17.

rotation. One twist, into the two and a half somersaults. What a

:41:18.:41:19.

performance from this young boy. Great work. We will see more of him.

:41:20.:41:31.

European Championships. He should be going to the World Championships

:41:32.:41:34.

next year and the Olympics in Rio, almost certain to be part of the GB

:41:35.:41:49.

team. A lot of commerce shown by this young man as well. -- promise.

:41:50.:42:07.

Final round for Yiwei, this is how he finishes off a very arduous week

:42:08.:42:16.

actually, with a lot of diving. It is a tidy finish from Yiwei. Only

:42:17.:42:27.

3.2 degree of difficulty. The twist made it even more complex and earned

:42:28.:42:34.

an extra degree of difficulty. He will finish outside of the medals

:42:35.:42:38.

but he has taken part in every competition available. He is due a

:42:39.:42:50.

rest. Now he can. He is going to finish alone Matt Dixon -- hello.

:42:51.:43:05.

rest. Now he can. He is going to below. Bedggood, a great opening,

:43:06.:43:10.

rest. Now he can. He is going to not a bad finish, but really needs

:43:11.:43:17.

high 80s preferably on this 3.6. If he gets 90, he could push for a

:43:18.:43:25.

medal. He did not quite finish the dive off a similar landing to Tom,

:43:26.:43:36.

but for different reasons. Just needed to squeeze that shape a

:43:37.:43:40.

little longer to straighten out as he goes in. High risk, a high degree

:43:41.:43:46.

of difficulty, it did not quite work out for the young Australian. Not a

:43:47.:43:52.

good finish in the evening, that is why he is a bit down on his total

:43:53.:43:59.

mark, does not make 400 this time. His medal chances have disappeared.

:44:00.:44:11.

Li, Bouchard, and Mitchum, all doing this dive in the last round. From

:44:12.:44:28.

Wellington, he decided after retiring a few years ago that he

:44:29.:44:31.

would come back into this ought, and he has done just that. A beautiful

:44:32.:44:41.

diver to finish from Li, he has done a lot of diving as well. Moved away

:44:42.:44:48.

from the board a little bit, I think that is a good entry, will get an

:44:49.:44:55.

eight from the judges. But will not break 400. 20 points shy. I love

:44:56.:45:07.

you, Edinburgh. Yes, of course.

:45:08.:45:15.

Now, what can James Denny do for us on his biggest dive? He needs 90, so

:45:16.:45:32.

he will need minds to go top -- nines. Is he take full of that --

:45:33.:45:41.

capable? It is pretty good. This is the diver

:45:42.:45:49.

in the cookie and Tom out of trouble when they were way out of pace in

:45:50.:46:04.

the synchro. -- the dive that got he and Tom out of trouble.

:46:05.:46:10.

Reviewing it, going over it with his coach. Adrian will know how to

:46:11.:46:25.

resolve that problem. Lang, of Malaysia. He has not shifted from

:46:26.:46:31.

that third place in the last couple of rounds. What will it take to get

:46:32.:46:41.

him to first place? This is a 3.2. Just over a seven average will put

:46:42.:46:52.

him at the top of the board with for -- four to go.

:46:53.:47:01.

He has been diving out of his skin and has saved his best till last.

:47:02.:47:09.

This will be close, the pressure is on. Will that be good enough for

:47:10.:47:19.

silver with Mitchum still to dive? Tom Daley will have very little to

:47:20.:47:24.

do, just complete the dive and it is pretty much his gold medal. 75 will

:47:25.:47:37.

put the Canadian in the lead. Eight, and I think he is as good as a

:47:38.:47:51.

medal. Very smooth and precise, a great

:47:52.:47:57.

entry, all he can do. Will it be good enough? It is going to be

:47:58.:48:05.

tight. I don't know. Not quite the vertical as he goes into the water.

:48:06.:48:14.

Only 17 years old. He will be back. That is a shame. He will grow in

:48:15.:48:22.

every respect in terms of the quality, and more bulked up next

:48:23.:48:31.

time. Bouchard, needs ten basically, if

:48:32.:48:39.

you is to reach third place, with Mitchum and Tom Daley still to come.

:48:40.:48:53.

A tough one to finish on. We have seen it a few times before, a little

:48:54.:49:00.

bit off the pace. He is holding his elbow. It just shows you what they

:49:01.:49:06.

had to endure, striking the water at 35 mph plus every time, it is tough

:49:07.:49:18.

on the body. 7.5, Maxime Bouchard. We are down to

:49:19.:49:32.

the last two. This was worth 86.4 this morning for Matthew Mitchum. If

:49:33.:49:37.

he does that again he will get the silver medal. Anything under 82, it

:49:38.:49:48.

is bronze. So a fluctuation of five points would make a lot of

:49:49.:49:54.

difference. This is a 3.6 difficulty rather than 3.2. That is where the

:49:55.:50:01.

extra point comes from, two and a half twist. I don't think that is

:50:02.:50:09.

good enough for silver, just bronze. He left himself a little too much to

:50:10.:50:15.

do. It may not yet even get a medal, he is throwing up to much

:50:16.:50:21.

splash. Less than seven and he is not in the medals. And he is not! He

:50:22.:50:36.

has had a difficult four years since India. Documented in his book. We

:50:37.:50:45.

thought he might be back to his best but he is not, and will not get a

:50:46.:50:53.

medal. This is a demonstration dive for Tom Daley, although he will want

:50:54.:50:56.

to go out with a flourish and get over 500. That is his territory, his

:50:57.:51:05.

domain. The final dive for gold at the Commonwealth Games, Tom Daley.

:51:06.:51:12.

There you go, outstanding from Tom Daley. Retaining the title he won in

:51:13.:51:20.

Delhi. Winning by an absolute country mile. He will go away over

:51:21.:51:30.

500 points, 90 plus for this one. Even with the challenge during

:51:31.:51:33.

preliminaries, the questions about what he has been doing, he has

:51:34.:51:40.

silenced his critics. Gold for Tom Daley! There is his new coach. He

:51:41.:51:50.

has done that with absolute precision. He has not let anybody

:51:51.:52:01.

get within touching distance of him. A massive chasm between first and

:52:02.:52:06.

second. Look at this, it will tell you exactly what you need to know.

:52:07.:52:15.

516.5, Tom Daley, then the rest scrapping for second and third.

:52:16.:52:24.

Reindeau Of Canada picks up the bronze. Matt Dixon, and we will look

:52:25.:52:29.

out for him in a few years time, ninth place.

:52:30.:52:35.

Tom Daley absolutely delivered. People were getting tickets for this

:52:36.:52:43.

event a year ago and today people were still queueing outside. Many

:52:44.:52:47.

did not have tickets and hoped they could just sneak in. It was pouring

:52:48.:52:52.

with rain. A young girl who came from Plymouth told me, if I do not

:52:53.:53:01.

get in, at least I am here. She will be frozen, but happy. Because Tom

:53:02.:53:11.

Daley did it, and did it in style. Obviously he got a silver medal

:53:12.:53:14.

yesterday with his synchro partner, James Denny, that was very much a

:53:15.:53:21.

test, it was announced late they would do it. It was

:53:22.:53:22.

test, it was announced late they would do just a bonus, yesterday.

:53:23.:53:29.

Tonight was the main focus. The preliminary round went OK, then he

:53:30.:53:33.

absolutely smashed it in the final, with that first dive. He set out his

:53:34.:53:41.

stall, said, this is what I am all about, what I going to do. People

:53:42.:54:04.

would -- were deafened after that first diver. It is an unbelievable

:54:05.:54:10.

atmosphere. You go from one extreme to the other. It is absolute silence

:54:11.:54:16.

and a real respect for the fact that they need absolute concentration, as

:54:17.:54:22.

soon as they hit the water, everybody roars. And not just for

:54:23.:54:25.

Tom Daley, but all the other competitors, James Denny, his friend

:54:26.:54:32.

and rival, he did not have the best night at the pool, he will not be

:54:33.:54:37.

happy with that, not his best performance. But a new star has been

:54:38.:54:44.

born in the shape of the 14-year-old who looks like a ten-year-old, not

:54:45.:54:55.

bothered by the pressure, here on my left hand side, Matt Dixon. Leon

:54:56.:55:10.

Taylor is here. Yes, Tom Daley retaining his title

:55:11.:55:15.

in fine fashion. Nobody even featured. He literally just needed

:55:16.:55:21.

to fall in on that last dive to retain his title.

:55:22.:55:27.

He attracts a phenomenal amount of attention because of who he is and

:55:28.:55:31.

what he has achieved. But does he look and listen to what is written

:55:32.:55:36.

about him? He only pays attention to what is

:55:37.:55:41.

important to him. You cannot be distracted by criticism but you need

:55:42.:55:45.

to be aware of it. He interacts with his massive fan base as much as he

:55:46.:55:52.

can, he is a great person to know, and it is great to see him finish

:55:53.:55:57.

with a gold here. England have come away with a full chest of medals

:55:58.:56:00.

from this beautiful pool in Edinburgh.

:56:01.:56:05.

Has the feel-good factor Robert off on the rest of the team? -- rubbed

:56:06.:56:22.

off? Yes, and to finish with the gold is

:56:23.:56:29.

the best thing for the team. Hannah was so emotional. Was that a

:56:30.:56:37.

surprise bronze medal for her? Yes, it is a closely contested,

:56:38.:56:43.

high-class field. She needs to be on top of her game and she pulled it

:56:44.:56:47.

out when she needed to. I was so pleased for her.

:56:48.:56:52.

You look just as relieved as everybody else! Lots of people will

:56:53.:56:59.

enjoy a drink, and Tom Daley certainly deserves one. He did it in

:57:00.:57:05.

some style. Thank you to our crew in Edinburgh.

:57:06.:57:09.

We will hopefully hear from Tom Daley shortly. More to come in the

:57:10.:57:16.

final hour of the programme. Our big finish is at 10pm. First, the news.

:57:17.:57:37.

From the Premier League to the FA Cup,

:57:38.:57:47.

Football League and the best women's football...

:57:48.:57:50.

..there's more football than ever all across the BBC.

:57:51.:57:53.

We've got factory boys and butchers' apprentices and office clerks

:57:54.:58:04.

Don't stop moving! If you go back you'll die!

:58:05.:58:10.

Hi, I'm Sam, back to the Games after a minute from us.

:58:11.:58:28.

Israel's carried out fresh strikes on Gaza.

:58:29.:58:29.

While Palestinian militants have fired more rockets into Israel.

:58:30.:58:32.

Egypt's urged both sides to adopt a ceasefire plan.

:58:33.:58:34.

Body parts of a man have been found at a recycling plant near Bristol.

:58:35.:58:39.

Police have named him as 34-year-old Matthew Symonds from Swindon.

:58:40.:58:42.

His death's being treated as "unexplained".

:58:43.:58:43.

Thousands of pounds have been raised for a surrogate baby abandoned

:58:44.:58:46.

They took his twin sister, but left him behind.

:58:47.:58:53.

A second athlete's failed a drugs test at the Games.

:58:54.:58:58.

The runner tested positive for a banned substance

:58:59.:59:01.

And looks like another Apprentice star is joining the House of Lords.

:59:02.:59:05.

Reports suggest Karren Brady is set to become a Conservative Peer.

:59:06.:59:08.

Now, it's back to Dan with more live action from Glasgow.

:59:09.:59:25.

Yeah, I am looking for a Prince Charming.

:59:26.:59:27.

I don't think I'm ugly, but I don't think I'm, like, really pretty.

I say, "You've got something on your bum." "Really?" And I say,

view down the Clyde. The sky is a little moodier tonight. We are going

:59:37.:00:15.

to take you straight to Edinburgh, some hockey on the way, the gold

:00:16.:00:19.

medal match, it is goalless at the moment. As promised, here is Tom

:00:20.:00:25.

Daley after winning the gold medal in the Commonwealth pool.

:00:26.:00:34.

Congratulations, you did it in some style. It was a lot better than this

:00:35.:00:41.

morning. I got into it a little bit quicker. The front four and a half

:00:42.:00:51.

was still not as good but still lots of positives and I am really happy.

:00:52.:00:58.

Can you ever sit back and enjoy it rushed and not no! It is white

:00:59.:01:08.

difficult being so far in front. You have to blanked everything out and

:01:09.:01:11.

just think, someone is chasing you and you have to go for a ten. Matt

:01:12.:01:19.

Mitcham your friend and rival. What is going through your head when you

:01:20.:01:27.

are diving next to him? Once you have done the dive, then you can

:01:28.:01:33.

start worrying about the results. You have seen so many successes.

:01:34.:01:38.

Were you feeling the pressure of the success of Jack and the girls and

:01:39.:01:43.

the medals we have one in England? Team England have won so many

:01:44.:01:51.

medals. British diving is in a really strong place at the moment.

:01:52.:01:55.

It has been a very long season. We have the European Championships

:01:56.:01:59.

still that I am happy to have a few days off now! Are you glad it is

:02:00.:02:09.

over? I am very tired, we have had five World Series, the World Cup, I

:02:10.:02:13.

have not had a day off in about four weeks! I am so looking forward to a

:02:14.:02:21.

life in tomorrow morning! A lot of people says this is a rehearsal for

:02:22.:02:26.

Rio, where does this put you? Yell at it puts me in a good place. I

:02:27.:02:31.

have to put all of the dives together in one list. I got a

:02:32.:02:36.

personal best in Mexico in June. I have to make sure I keep working

:02:37.:02:44.

hard. Congratulations Tom. Tom Daley, double Commonwealth

:02:45.:02:49.

champions talking to Helen Skelton. You can catch up with what Tom Daley

:02:50.:02:54.

has been doing, have a look on the website. We will show you what is

:02:55.:02:59.

happening where on the BBC on the 10th day of the Commonwealth Games.

:03:00.:03:05.

The athletics on BBC1, including Usain Bolt running in the Jamaican

:03:06.:03:15.

relay team. The boxing continues on the red button. We showed you plenty

:03:16.:03:23.

of that yesterday. Joe Joyce, the big boy from team England is

:03:24.:03:27.

fighting soon. He is the favourite to win another gold medal for the

:03:28.:03:33.

home nation. You can watch a bit badminton online. England currently

:03:34.:03:39.

in action in women's doubles. The BBC website is your catch all to

:03:40.:03:44.

every single sport. If you have been inspired to get into anything you

:03:45.:03:50.

have seen, maybe even diving! We have seen Matthew Dixon and dives in

:03:51.:03:54.

Plymouth. I'm Tom Daley who started so young. Go to the Get Inspired

:03:55.:04:06.

section of the website. We will take you to some more live sports now. We

:04:07.:04:12.

can now deliver the hockey on BBC Three. England's women are going for

:04:13.:04:16.

the gold medal in the Glasgow hockey centre.

:04:17.:04:23.

We saw them with a remarkable penny -- penalty shoot out against New

:04:24.:04:34.

Zealand. It is 0-0 at the moment. Will this be a second-half ending

:04:35.:04:41.

with a gold medal for England? Let's go to our commentators.

:04:42.:04:49.

COMMENTATOR: The kangaroo, of course!

:04:50.:05:02.

20 seconds before we get underway, in much better condition than an

:05:03.:05:13.

hour or two ago here at the hockey centre. Hopefully no more rain and

:05:14.:05:16.

certainly the cloud cover has lifted.

:05:17.:05:24.

Australia begin the second half of the gold medal match, everything to

:05:25.:05:34.

play for. Bone and Jodie Kenny. Over to Flanagan. This time, Danson has

:05:35.:05:42.

the ball. A little clip of an England stick and Australia lose

:05:43.:05:51.

position. Quek, just the one penalty corner Australia were able to force

:05:52.:05:55.

but it went out of the danger zone. For England.

:05:56.:06:05.

Now with Gilbert, still with Gilbert. And here she comes again.

:06:06.:06:26.

Susie Gilbert rocketing it out the Australian defence. And Quek has it,

:06:27.:06:30.

Sam Quek for England, keeping possession, the pressure coming from

:06:31.:06:34.

England in the stages of the second half.

:06:35.:06:41.

Audacious talent, that youngster. It came off her stick and

:06:42.:06:46.

Audacious talent, that youngster. It brass, she walked up and tried to

:06:47.:06:53.

get the free hit, love it! It is what I used to love about

:06:54.:06:58.

the younger players in the team. They would just go out and play

:06:59.:07:01.

hockey and you get the sense that Lily Owsley is exactly the same, she

:07:02.:07:07.

does not really know the names of the hockey players are, she is just

:07:08.:07:11.

happy to be out there and wreaking havoc among some of the best players

:07:12.:07:16.

of the world. All of the skills on show for the 19-year-old. A clever

:07:17.:07:25.

pass from Richardson-Walsh. At the moment, denying Australia

:07:26.:07:27.

possession, England. Now the ball goes out of the deep

:07:28.:07:45.

defence but picked up, pressure coming from Australia. Blyth will

:07:46.:07:51.

get the free hit. Off she goes. He touched her left, finding Peers --

:07:52.:07:59.

Peris. Nicola White wanting to make a

:08:00.:08:20.

statement. Danson coming over to help and drives the ball out of

:08:21.:08:25.

defence but again it is Jodie Kenny. That was Annesley this time, Giselle

:08:26.:08:32.

Ansley. Luckily she was just outside the circle.

:08:33.:08:47.

Kenny, it is mopped up by Unsworth. In the end, catching Bone's foot on

:08:48.:09:00.

the way through. They are looking very confident unit, England. They

:09:01.:09:06.

are. As time ticks by, the pressure is certainly an Australia. England

:09:07.:09:11.

are the underdog. So much has been mentioned about their summer far.

:09:12.:09:17.

White has it for England, finding Annesley and she drives the ball

:09:18.:09:20.

across. The ball is intercepted by McMahon. This is what England have

:09:21.:09:33.

done, Australia, not picking the ball up cleanly. Australia beat

:09:34.:09:43.

Malaysia, 4-0, Wales and Scotland 9-0.

:09:44.:09:59.

Cummings, the Australian coach, very nonchalant at this stage but will be

:10:00.:10:06.

concerned his team have not got position. -- commends Max

:10:07.:10:17.

This is an excellent tackle from Richardson-Walsh. That was brave.

:10:18.:10:28.

Peris has won it again. They surge into the circle.

:10:29.:10:45.

Soft hand pass to Townsend. Gilbert is up there. Lily Owsley over the

:10:46.:11:00.

other side. They have got out of the deep defensive area.

:11:01.:11:08.

You cannot fault any player for not putting the effort in. Across the

:11:09.:11:22.

face, is a lone Australian player and a good touch out by Giselle

:11:23.:11:30.

Ansley. Getting the free hit. It also put it into some perspective,

:11:31.:11:34.

this Hockeyroos team, apart from the exceptions of Madonna Blyth and

:11:35.:11:39.

Eastman, they are used to meddling in tournaments and they will here,

:11:40.:11:44.

but for England, it could not have got any worse and they almost got to

:11:45.:11:48.

the darkest place possible for them as a group and they are coming out

:11:49.:11:51.

the other side and they will regard even just making this final a huge

:11:52.:11:56.

success. It certainly seems to me as if the pressures are all on

:11:57.:12:00.

Australia. Some of their players are not handling it as well as you would

:12:01.:12:15.

expect them to. England have held position and that

:12:16.:12:17.

has been the key. Richardson-Walsh, pushing high up.

:12:18.:12:31.

Accurate passing again coming from England.

:12:32.:12:34.

Richardson-Walsh, pushing high up. Accurate passing again coming A

:12:35.:12:38.

small avenue to get that all in. But they will not give away possession

:12:39.:12:45.

if they can help it. That was eight of pass. -- a tough pass. This is a

:12:46.:12:59.

sustained period of stopping Australia having the ball on the end

:13:00.:13:07.

of their sticks. Cannot go back that way.

:13:08.:13:41.

Richardson-Walsh stretching hard. Possibly a little lucky not to see a

:13:42.:13:52.

penalty corner. One already awarded. Flannigan. Pearce. Could

:13:53.:14:27.

not grab it that time. Emily Smith is being spoken to by the umpire.

:14:28.:14:38.

She did not retreat the required five metres, it is all for safety,

:14:39.:14:46.

it is important. That is a hard one to take in. And a turnover.

:14:47.:15:01.

Pressure. Watson. Absorbing hockey. England are denying Australia

:15:02.:15:09.

possession. Forward they poor. Kelli White with the ball. The footwork is

:15:10.:15:22.

not quite there, so they can pop the ball onto a stick, Australia.

:15:23.:15:40.

Claxton, what can she get for Australia? Webb, under pressure, she

:15:41.:15:56.

believes. -- opting to go back to the

:15:57.:16:30.

skipper. But it is backwards from Australia. Ashley Nelson, into the

:16:31.:16:41.

circle it goes, but again England have time to read and get the ball

:16:42.:16:48.

out. The free hit. Both teams realise what is at stake.

:16:49.:16:53.

Yes, they will both go home with something, but they both want the

:16:54.:16:58.

gold medal. The fact that we have had only seven shots on goal in all

:16:59.:17:04.

the play so far, that just shows, not able of action in the circle. --

:17:05.:17:18.

not a lot. Flanagan with the ball for Australia. Again, lots of

:17:19.:17:27.

English players around. Play on, is the call. Kenny steps up. Taking it

:17:28.:17:39.

for Australia. Off-loads, but not where Nelson wanted.

:17:40.:17:48.

It was a great step up from Kenny but she needed to play wide, instead

:17:49.:17:52.

she went for the longer option to Smith. The connection was just not

:17:53.:17:59.

there. Excellent progress down the right

:18:00.:18:07.

flank. Suzy Gilbert. Danson, looking for the free hit, and they get it.

:18:08.:18:13.

They rush to attack, again through Gilbert, slamming it across,

:18:14.:18:27.

Owsley! It is in! It is 1-0 to England!

:18:28.:18:44.

A fantastic ball from Gilbert, and Australia can not appeal. Who says

:18:45.:18:54.

that forwards cannot tackle, Danson, download, makes a strong

:18:55.:18:58.

tackle, and then calmness personified from Owsley, a goal in

:18:59.:19:08.

the semifinal, now one in the final. It is England who have the crowd

:19:09.:19:16.

behind them. All that work that they have done in keeping the ball,

:19:17.:19:23.

starving Australia of any time with ball and stick, then the chance they

:19:24.:19:34.

got, they have taken it. One - zero, England lead, 21 minutes remaining

:19:35.:19:40.

in the gold medal match. Flanagan for Australia. Claxton. Drives it

:19:41.:19:45.

in. Three England defenders, and it for Australia. Claxton. Drives it

:19:46.:19:56.

is deemed to have hit the hand. A free hit. One of the best players

:19:57.:20:08.

for England with that ball out on the right, Webb.

:20:09.:20:16.

Those are the mistakes England have forced.

:20:17.:20:47.

The coach is unhappy and that can easily transfer to the ditch.

:20:48.:20:53.

Australia feel that every decision is going against them, they are not

:20:54.:20:58.

getting the blow of the whistle. Kelli White. A great shot in, but no

:20:59.:21:07.

Australian stick on the end of it, and it is all hands to the pump for

:21:08.:21:09.

England. Bone, for Australia. Out to

:21:10.:21:44.

Flanagan. Trying to get around Owsley but all the English players

:21:45.:21:47.

are back defending, putting pressure on. There is a hard ball again,

:21:48.:21:58.

pressure showing, speeding the game, putting the pressure on Australia.

:21:59.:22:09.

Quick, gets past two, gets it onto Danson, a little pass to keep

:22:10.:22:31.

going, and here is a card. Green card. She runs off.

:22:32.:22:42.

There was not much that Casey could do. It has been given for a bawdy

:22:43.:22:46.

obstruction but it was just the quick movement of Danson that letter

:22:47.:22:54.

was nothing to do. But she has no choice but to run off and sit down

:22:55.:23:07.

as quickly as she can. Townsend working hard. Look at the

:23:08.:23:13.

pressure Australia are under now. Just over 17 minutes to play in the

:23:14.:23:19.

gold medal match. Australia, who have been so dominant, they defeated

:23:20.:23:29.

South Africa 7-1 in the semifinal. England, how plucky are they?

:23:30.:23:36.

Winning the semifinal and putting a total unit performance together.

:23:37.:23:45.

Deny, deny, deny Australia time on the ball. It is absorbing and

:23:46.:24:00.

intriguing. A little slip past down the left. Lucy Woods, can she keep

:24:01.:24:15.

it? In the circle go England. Kenny has it. They are in a fight,

:24:16.:24:29.

Australia. At the moment, it is not one they are winning.

:24:30.:24:50.

As we mentioned earlier, eight shots in the entire game but one thing

:24:51.:24:57.

England do exceptionally well... in the entire game but one thing

:24:58.:25:08.

hit the post! It hit the post! It can so often happen like that. A

:25:09.:25:13.

sudden opportunity for Australia. Just when we were thinking...

:25:14.:25:24.

It is just a speculative pass. Then the spin off the post confuses her,

:25:25.:25:33.

and she has to find the ball at her feet, by then she was closed down.

:25:34.:25:37.

Clearly you need to be alert at all times.

:25:38.:25:45.

All the time. Flanagan. Was that the robber of the green Australia was

:25:46.:25:58.

searching for? -- rub of. Danson, with plenty of options to pass back.

:25:59.:26:05.

Richardson-Walsh on the left side. It was her pass that helped the ball

:26:06.:26:10.

into the circle, but Flanagan mops up at the back. Under 15 minutes to

:26:11.:26:17.

play in the gold medal match. But a mistake by Nelson! The pressure, you

:26:18.:26:28.

can tell, the feverish way the players are reacting. Just clipping

:26:29.:26:34.

Nelson's foot. Pearce, out of defence, but just

:26:35.:26:49.

going on to the forehand of Unsworth, picked off. Kenny has to

:26:50.:26:54.

hurdle. Gets over Danson, Unsworth, picked off. Kenny has to

:26:55.:27:08.

quick 1-2 passes. Ainsley still has it up the left flank. They are

:27:09.:27:16.

shutting down the Australian options so quickly, England, and again this

:27:17.:27:22.

ball will run onto the stick of Richardson-Walsh. This is heart in

:27:23.:27:34.

mouth stuff! Technically the way both coaches

:27:35.:27:42.

have set about playing is fantastic. We have seen all these teams playing

:27:43.:27:46.

at the Commonwealth Games, you know what they are capable of, and this

:27:47.:27:49.

is the implementation of plan comment off, under enormous

:27:50.:28:01.

pressure. -- coming. Ashley, picking up the wall with for English players

:28:02.:28:36.

-- four players around. What can Australia conjure up?

:28:37.:28:46.

Flanagan, more patient. McMahon. A little slip ball. Pearce came right

:28:47.:28:56.

over the top and forces another mistake. Excellent ball down the

:28:57.:29:10.

right flank. It is interesting, all of the rain

:29:11.:29:25.

that fell in Glasgow today, it funded down on this pitch, it has

:29:26.:29:33.

dried out remarkably well. The ball will speed. Eastham gets the back

:29:34.:29:48.

foot of White and Eastham again. Australia getting the speed wobbles

:29:49.:29:58.

a bit. It is in the circle now, it is high towards the goal and comes

:29:59.:30:02.

off the stick of an English defender. A long corner. Into the

:30:03.:30:17.

circle. Parker gets dispossessed. Look at that, three Australian

:30:18.:30:24.

defenders and a free hit to England. Richardson-Walsh.

:30:25.:30:34.

As an opponent, when your opposite number starts to have a go at the

:30:35.:30:43.

umpire for every little decision, it gives you the decision because you

:30:44.:30:46.

know you are getting the upper hand on them and it knocks them off their

:30:47.:30:51.

game. We are so used to seeing Australia passing the ball and

:30:52.:30:54.

playing free-flowing hockey and at the moment, we are seeing the

:30:55.:30:57.

forward getting the ball and trying to do it on their own and take on

:30:58.:31:01.

four defenders and it is not really going to happen for them. They have

:31:02.:31:06.

not held onto the ball long enough. They sustained passing around the

:31:07.:31:12.

midfield, that is when Australia are at their most dangerous. Start with

:31:13.:31:19.

a powerful unit and they could not get their sticks on the ball. Now

:31:20.:31:26.

they have it, down the flank. But they are almost going to fast. They

:31:27.:31:35.

are feeling the heat, the pressure, under ten minutes to play in this

:31:36.:31:42.

gold medal match. Only two goals have been scored against Australia

:31:43.:31:49.

in Commonwealth Games 2014. One by the South African, Celia Evans, and

:31:50.:31:54.

now, Lily Owsley. Giving England a 1-0 lead. Look at that crowd

:31:55.:32:02.

roaring. The roar of the crowd keeping them going. Lily Owsley,

:32:03.:32:08.

lifted into the Australian player. Up and over and out of the midfield

:32:09.:32:22.

this time. Richardson-Walsh taking a blow but they will have to carry on.

:32:23.:32:31.

Georgie Parker's stick just got caught under Richardson-Walsh's

:32:32.:32:38.

armpit and she was not going to let it go easily, she was going to wait

:32:39.:32:43.

until she picked her own stick up before releasing it. Bray denies

:32:44.:32:49.

again. It is a free chance for Australia,

:32:50.:33:10.

can they get the shot in? Peris. Hinch watching the ball ever so

:33:11.:33:16.

closely. It is heart in mouth stuff now. Seven and a half minutes to

:33:17.:33:17.

play. The ball is with England. Giselle

:33:18.:33:28.

Ansley, one of the young brigade. I guess at this stage, seven minutes

:33:29.:33:50.

left in the match, England with the 1-0 lead, any thoughts from Danny

:33:51.:33:56.

Kerry about the equaliser New Zealand were able to get before it

:33:57.:34:02.

went into penalty shoot outs. I am sure they were discussions as to why

:34:03.:34:08.

that happened. But I think the team performance today has been

:34:09.:34:10.

outstanding and I think England will be looking at the clock ticking down

:34:11.:34:16.

and it will feel like it is in slow motion and Australia feel it is

:34:17.:34:21.

going at double-time. Six and a half minutes is still a long time in a

:34:22.:34:23.

hockey match. Flanagan has the captain waiting, a

:34:24.:34:45.

swinging stick relieves the pressure and Danson comes away with the ball.

:34:46.:34:53.

Taylor still contesting for Australia. England now with the free

:34:54.:34:57.

hit. Full press coming from Australia.

:34:58.:35:16.

They need to get some more possession and get an opportunity

:35:17.:35:20.

and show the hockey they have played to this crowd. Leaving no room for

:35:21.:35:33.

Australia to get their traditional passing game into play.

:35:34.:35:43.

One of the finest games you will see from a deep defender, Hollie Webb

:35:44.:35:51.

combining again with his skipper. This is inspirational hockey from

:35:52.:35:52.

England. Will this be the ranks to riches --

:35:53.:36:16.

the ranks to riches? The disappointment, coming 11th in the

:36:17.:36:19.

World Cup, but what it transformations seven weeks later.

:36:20.:36:25.

-- what a transformation, seven weeks later.

:36:26.:36:33.

Again, Hollie Webb. It is a combination of Unsworth and Webb.

:36:34.:36:49.

Flanagan dragging it down, across the field it goes, four minutes

:36:50.:36:51.

left. I don't think I have ever seen an

:36:52.:37:03.

Australian team make this many mistakes. We talk about pressure and

:37:04.:37:06.

what it does to people but we are used to seeing the ball literally

:37:07.:37:10.

sticking to their sticks like glue. It is just not happening. Adam

:37:11.:37:16.

Commens is not going to be a happy man at the moment. He is clearly

:37:17.:37:20.

communicating with his staff up in the stands. England have got just

:37:21.:37:29.

over three minutes to hold out. The green and gold attack from

:37:30.:37:30.

Australia. Back to Kenny. And across again, the

:37:31.:37:46.

players not getting where they won two and having to move. -- not

:37:47.:37:59.

getting it where they want to. England not intimidated by anything

:38:00.:38:06.

that has been put on. Parker has it. It is the captain who comes up with

:38:07.:38:16.

the ball. The anticipation is building, not only in the crowd but

:38:17.:38:24.

any England supporter. This has been a truly phenomenal performance by

:38:25.:38:33.

England. Who is the woman who intercepts? Hollie Webb. This is

:38:34.:38:41.

sensational. They have played the majority of this half in their deep

:38:42.:38:47.

defence, England. The crowd are beginning to sense, with two minutes

:38:48.:38:53.

left on the clock, the roar is starting to up and over. Up and over

:38:54.:39:02.

the ball goes, into empty space. Less than two minutes.

:39:03.:39:16.

Flanagan, over the baseline to a long corner for Australia. One and a

:39:17.:39:24.

half minutes in the gold-medal match. Just the tactical ability,

:39:25.:39:34.

firstly, from Danny Kerry and they get the penalty corner. The drama is

:39:35.:39:41.

not finished in this match and Unsworth flicks the ball away, is

:39:42.:39:45.

this the opportunity Australia have been searching for and waiting for?

:39:46.:39:51.

A fantastic spin by Georgie Parker. Richardson-Walsh bows low which is

:39:52.:39:56.

something... Actually she does not go low on that one unfortunately.

:39:57.:40:00.

Normally she is one of the lowest defenders. This is Australia's last

:40:01.:40:05.

real chance of getting back in this game. The defenders have less than

:40:06.:40:12.

nine seconds to set themselves, they have a look up and they see Kenny

:40:13.:40:18.

and Flanagan. 37 seconds, it is run down, it'll another one. Lily Owsley

:40:19.:40:24.

has broken has she? Yes, she has gone too early. Holding tank, fair

:40:25.:40:32.

enough, 24 seconds on the clock. They are going for a referral. I

:40:33.:40:38.

think they are saying... We will wait and find out. Can you hear me?

:40:39.:40:46.

The number five from England broke early, I said. Can you have a look

:40:47.:40:53.

and see if there is anything wrong with the shot corner? I have said

:40:54.:41:04.

restart. It is something Australia were blown up for earlier in the

:41:05.:41:10.

tournament. It is a short corner, England lose their referral? That is

:41:11.:41:18.

correct. Lily Owsley will remove herself from the defensive area,

:41:19.:41:21.

they lose a defender because they broke. And now England, with 24

:41:22.:41:27.

seconds on the clock, have to defend the penalty corner, drag flip time

:41:28.:41:42.

for these two. Kenny and Flanagan. It is in! Oh my goodness! With 18

:41:43.:41:55.

seconds on the clock, Australia have drawn level with England! Can you

:41:56.:42:09.

believe it? You cannot write this script, you

:42:10.:42:15.

really cannot. It is a fantastic finish, under pressure, from Kenny.

:42:16.:42:22.

Richardson-Walsh does everything she can to get out of that. But it looks

:42:23.:42:29.

like we will go to a shoot out. Absolutely gutting for England. The

:42:30.:42:37.

next five minutes are about getting your players back into focus mode.

:42:38.:42:45.

D?j? vu for England. They have played superbly well and you cannot

:42:46.:42:49.

find enough adjectives for what they have done. But it finishes 1-1 in

:42:50.:42:55.

the gold medal match here in Glasgow. It is all there to see in

:42:56.:43:09.

the face is obvious trillions, was that their get out of jail card? --

:43:10.:43:22.

in the faces of the Australians. The medal was almost around the English

:43:23.:43:28.

neck and then with seconds to go, that penalty corner. The Australians

:43:29.:43:37.

cannot believe it either! Or can they just not there to look at the

:43:38.:43:49.

shoot out? -- just not bear to look. Let's look at the statistics.

:43:50.:44:01.

Not a huge amount of shots on goal, 11 from Australia, just two from

:44:02.:44:09.

England, but they really made it count until the final seconds of the

:44:10.:44:18.

game. You just have too field for goal-scorer Owsley. -- feel. That is

:44:19.:44:33.

calmness, for a 19-year-old to do that in a gold medal match of the

:44:34.:44:39.

Commonwealth Games. You can see what it means. It was just what they

:44:40.:44:50.

deserved for the amount of defensive work they put in. It lifted the

:44:51.:44:59.

crowd and got everyone behind them. Just over Lynch as she comes out of

:45:00.:45:10.

goal. Exceptional. But then Owsley was sent to the halfway line,

:45:11.:45:13.

leaving England with three defenders, and Kenny puts it into

:45:14.:45:20.

the only place possible to send this into a shoot out. And unbelievable

:45:21.:45:29.

end to an unbelievable match. A game for the purists. Fascinating

:45:30.:45:37.

tactics. The English coaches outmanoeuvred New Zealand yesterday

:45:38.:45:43.

and almost outmanoeuvred the number two team in the world. What a

:45:44.:45:48.

cracker. This gold-medal match has had everything, and other lights

:45:49.:45:54.

here at the Glasgow National hockey centre -- under the lights. From the

:45:55.:46:10.

25 line the attackers will have eight seconds to weave their way

:46:11.:46:13.

into the circle and get past the keeper to score. The keepers have

:46:14.:46:22.

eight seconds to prevent the oncoming forward from scoring. A

:46:23.:46:34.

stroke can be awarded if a misdemeanour by the keeper prevents

:46:35.:46:42.

a potential goal. Eight seconds can seem like a long time for the

:46:43.:46:47.

goalkeeper, and the supporters in the crowd.

:46:48.:46:56.

And safety say we have two of the best goalkeepers for this scenario.

:46:57.:47:03.

Two world-class goalkeepers on show when it comes to the shoot out.

:47:04.:47:14.

Both teams will have done their homework, and the English

:47:15.:47:19.

goalkeeper, Hinch, marching into her cage, making the goal looked small.

:47:20.:47:29.

And there is Casey Eastham waiting on the first eight second countdown

:47:30.:47:36.

starting. A hush over the hockey centre.

:47:37.:47:44.

Absolute silence. Sorry, can you wait one second. She

:47:45.:48:00.

will blow to start. Hinch, did the right thing, just

:48:01.:48:05.

checking what was happening. Here it comes now. A little move, not much

:48:06.:48:19.

time... And it is a goal. That is the calmness you expect from

:48:20.:48:31.

somebody in their 216th game. The question will be whether England

:48:32.:48:34.

change what they did yesterday against New Zealand. Twigg, at

:48:35.:48:44.

first. Twigg, with the ball. 1-1, Twigg

:48:45.:48:59.

gets hers in. They are on the edge of their seats here.

:49:00.:49:08.

Good running angle by Twigg to take Lynch away from the middle of the

:49:09.:49:09.

goal. Two successful penalty shoot out.

:49:10.:49:35.

White. Just the squeak of the pants, it is saved! Hinch, says the first

:49:36.:49:52.

one for England. -- saves. That is unbelievable. The body

:49:53.:49:55.

weight going one way, somehow she manages.

:49:56.:50:13.

Athleticism and ability. Danson. Now, the whistle. Danson Does a

:50:14.:50:26.

quick swivel, but it goes wide. The Australians breathe again.

:50:27.:50:33.

The exact manoeuvre at she tried yesterday. Just that final little

:50:34.:50:41.

nudge takes the ball away from where she wants it to be.

:50:42.:50:53.

Parker now for Australia. Up against Hinch. And in it goes. What a bullet

:50:54.:51:13.

from Parker. Make no mistake, one of the best executions we have seen at

:51:14.:51:21.

the Commonwealth Games. A fantastic finish under pressure

:51:22.:51:30.

from Parker. Susie Gilbert up next for England.

:51:31.:51:42.

Tension on her face. Another miss from England.

:51:43.:51:56.

Well done, Rachel Lynch. Gilbert did just not do enough and the ball --

:51:57.:52:11.

on the ball. It is now Kenny for Australia.

:52:12.:52:23.

And a stroke. We talked about that in the lead up. Hinch Is judged to

:52:24.:52:43.

have taken Kenny out. It was a heavy fall.

:52:44.:52:48.

She has definitely taken the player and not the ball.

:52:49.:52:55.

You get one referral each in the shoot out and England have decided

:52:56.:53:00.

to go upstairs. Why not?

:53:01.:53:09.

Can you please check? The face of Maddie Hinch, the

:53:10.:53:25.

heroine yesterday. Everybody in the crowd is making their own decision

:53:26.:53:29.

but it is the video decision that we await.

:53:30.:53:38.

It is a stroke comma and England lose their referral.

:53:39.:53:47.

It has been rejected. No more referrals for England. Kenny. Versus

:53:48.:54:05.

Hinch. She missed it. She put it wide, can you believe it? Danny

:54:06.:54:14.

Carey looking cool, calm, and collected. Not even close!

:54:15.:54:25.

The faces of the crowd say it all. Not so nice, being in that position.

:54:26.:54:42.

Nicola White. Facing Lynch. It just runs over the baseline. This can now

:54:43.:55:01.

decided. -- decide it. The Australian captain, Blythe, for the

:55:02.:55:15.

gold medal. 292 caps for the 28-year-old, 65 international goals.

:55:16.:55:30.

Blythe. Slips it in. My goodness me, Australia have pinched the

:55:31.:55:39.

gold-medal. The captain provided the heroics. The Australian Governor

:55:40.:55:48.

General there. Australia have done in the business where it counted.

:55:49.:55:54.

Kate Richardson-Walsh marches over to the Australian camp.

:55:55.:56:03.

Heartbreak for England women's hockey. Against the all conquering,

:56:04.:56:12.

all-powerful Australians, they have lost. We saw the jubilation the

:56:13.:56:18.

other day at the Glasgow hockey centre, tonight it is all about

:56:19.:56:24.

Australia. It is a silver medal for England's hockey players but no

:56:25.:56:29.

doubt they will only realise what an achievement that is in a few days

:56:30.:56:32.

time when they have forgotten about the defeat. We have slightly over

:56:33.:56:41.

run on BBC Three. This what are jammed in and I cannot tell you all

:56:42.:56:44.

the guests we have coming up because we do not have much time, but we do

:56:45.:56:51.

have the flag bearer for Scotland. I hope you have enjoyed the

:56:52.:56:53.

Commonwealth Games over the last ten days. We will leave you with some

:56:54.:57:04.

magical images, accompanied by the Federation. # There is no place like

:57:05.:57:13.

home. Stimson of England wins the first

:57:14.:57:55.

gold of the Games X? Hannah Miley wins for Scotland!

:57:56.:58:05.

The 13-year-old from the Shetland Islands!

Scotland are going to make it! It is gold!
