Hello and welcome back to the Commonwealth Games. These are the

:00:46.:00:51.

scenes from Ibrox where South Africa have just won

:00:52.:00:51.

scenes from Ibrox where South Africa have just a gold medal in the rugby

:00:52.:00:56.

sevens, inflicting the first defeat in Commonwealth Games history on a

:00:57.:01:01.

New Zealand side. I am not sure the South African players can believe it

:01:02.:01:06.

themselves. Don't forget sevens will be an Olympic event in two years in

:01:07.:01:11.

Rio for the first time. Over the next 20 minutes we will have

:01:12.:01:15.

weightlifting and a terrific boxing scrap between Scotland's Reece

:01:16.:01:21.

McFadden, who beat Welsh favourite Andrew Selby, and Charlie Edwards in

:01:22.:01:25.

the flyweight division. We start with a change of pace and lawn

:01:26.:01:30.

bowls, a pedestrian but precise affair. We have the women's single

:01:31.:01:35.

finals champion between the English defending champion Natalie Melmore

:01:36.:01:37.

and Jo Edwards. 20 years between these two players.

:01:38.:01:49.

Jo Edwards has been around for a long time but Natalie is relatively

:01:50.:01:53.

new on the scene. She made a massive impact when she won in Delhi. She

:01:54.:02:00.

has played that really well. I just wonder sometimes. A bad bowl because

:02:01.:02:09.

Natalie will be reaching this to give it a chance. With four down she

:02:10.:02:14.

will just be drawing, not attacking it. Certainly looks better but

:02:15.:02:19.

drifting off. I think this will be four shots to the Kiwi. Pool pork

:02:20.:02:27.

bowls for the defending champion. -- four poor bowls. She might get some

:02:28.:02:39.

luck. She has, goodness me. Not what she was trying for and that will be

:02:40.:02:46.

frustrating for Jo Edwards. Natalie Blake one lucky ball and she is off

:02:47.:02:50.

the mark. She is better than this. We have not seen her on any kind of

:02:51.:02:54.

form yet. She will move up the gears. Lovely bowls from Jo Edwards.

:02:55.:03:09.

She might run at this and try to get the jack into the open. She does

:03:10.:03:18.

have one in behind. Two shot down. Will she get the black ball for

:03:19.:03:24.

second? Yes, she has. Good result for Natalie to cut that to one.

:03:25.:03:28.

Don't think she could do much more with it.

:03:29.:03:39.

Much better line this time. Good second. Just a touch short on

:03:40.:03:49.

weight. It would have held up onto that Jack.

:03:50.:04:04.

That one had a bit of work to do. It made it, great second bowl from Jo

:04:05.:04:12.

Edwards. Natalie looking good. She does not

:04:13.:04:27.

want to open it up. That is better. Suddenly creeping up.

:04:28.:04:45.

Yes, number two. Remarkable how things can change in a match. It is

:04:46.:04:58.

not easy. Very narrow. She will be hoping for going between the two

:04:59.:05:04.

front bowls. That is the problem with a short bowl. It continues. Not

:05:05.:05:06.

over yet. Up enough. I thought it would stop a

:05:07.:05:31.

foot away but it is just six inches. The best two she has played in a

:05:32.:05:38.

while. Reaching with controlled weight and not going for her. It

:05:39.:05:48.

just stays out and out. Not a lot of room to win the match with this

:05:49.:05:53.

delivery. This is absolutely massive.

:05:54.:06:05.

She didn't push that. So far away she must have known it. 17-for it

:06:06.:06:14.

looked like it would be all over but here we are. -- 17-4-macro.

:06:15.:06:28.

Struggling. Not reaching. You can't score shots if you are not there.

:06:29.:06:36.

Always the chance of coming off the side ball if you are running a bit.

:06:37.:06:51.

That didn't run but I can understand her dropping a bit with that. Not a

:06:52.:07:00.

time to push the Kiwi bowl over. Big bowl to win the gold medal. Jo

:07:01.:07:04.

Edwards from New Zealand. That looked narrow. Not reaching.

:07:05.:07:27.

The weight was not too bad. Well, this game is getting very, very

:07:28.:07:28.

interesting now. She has been falling short on

:07:29.:07:39.

occasions, usually a sign that things are getting to her. That is a

:07:40.:07:49.

good bowl but we don't know if it is the shot and it is sitting wide of

:07:50.:07:57.

the jack. The marker has indicated one to read. The marker was very

:07:58.:08:05.

clear. Really good under pressure. This is what she does well.

:08:06.:08:14.

That one did not make it and she is going back to Jo

:08:15.:08:18.

That one did not make it and she is going back to Edwards to concede the

:08:19.:08:21.

match. Jo Edwards from New Zealand will take the gold. 21-15 against

:08:22.:08:27.

the defending champion, Natalie Melmore from England.

:08:28.:08:32.

Good stuff. As promised, time for boxing and a Scotland versus England

:08:33.:08:38.

battle in the men's flyweight division. Reece McFadden shocked

:08:39.:08:46.

Andrew Selby, of Wales, and today he was up against Charlie Edwards.

:08:47.:09:06.

trailing by two rounds to nil. -- Charlie Edwards. From Edwards that

:09:07.:09:29.

was lovely. Using the jab. Brought his opponent to a longer left hook.

:09:30.:09:35.

Good boxing. He probably needs more of that, does Edwards. He won his

:09:36.:09:41.

European bronze medal at the senior level. Reece McFadden was emulating

:09:42.:09:52.

that as a junior. Look at their heads, clashing at close quarters.

:09:53.:09:58.

It is rather scrappy on the inside. Oxus have to watch that. Neither

:09:59.:09:59.

wants to sustain a cut. And now the decibel level is

:10:00.:10:15.

beginning to rise. They are crying, Scotland, Scotland! There is an

:10:16.:10:24.

English contingent, as well. That was better from Edwards on the front

:10:25.:10:29.

foot. At the end of the first round, it dictates the tactics that the

:10:30.:10:35.

next two rounds. Reece McFadden was in front and that has made Edwards

:10:36.:10:44.

come forward. They said that Charlie was feeling good and ready to go but

:10:45.:10:49.

in a difficult position because he has conceded the opening two rounds.

:10:50.:10:54.

Reece McFadden has boxed very well indeed. Keeping himself out of

:10:55.:11:01.

harm's wave. Having success in the exchanges. -- way. Edwards is trying

:11:02.:11:11.

to close the distance. Difficult to get to. He sits back and waits for

:11:12.:11:17.

his opponents to attack him and then goes back with fast counters. It is

:11:18.:11:20.

a very difficult style to box against. Inside the final 30

:11:21.:11:30.

seconds. Edwards remaining patient and trying to fashion an opening,

:11:31.:11:34.

but the clock is in favour of the Scotsman. Edwards just failed to

:11:35.:11:43.

catch him on the way in. That was better from Edwards. Much better

:11:44.:11:50.

work. It is a furious exchange to conclude the third round. But, as

:11:51.:11:58.

the bell sounds, both raise their arms immediately, but given the fact

:11:59.:12:03.

that Reece McFadden took the opening two rounds in unanimous fashion. I

:12:04.:12:12.

suspect they think their man has been eliminated, Charlie Edwards

:12:13.:12:17.

contesting his first bout in the tournament, coming up against an

:12:18.:12:23.

inspired Reece McFadden. Took the opening two rounds, which dictated

:12:24.:12:28.

the tactics. I suspect Edwards did not do enough to turn it around.

:12:29.:12:34.

Reece McFadden, by sitting back, he invites Edwards to come on. I think

:12:35.:12:38.

he should have applied more pressure. The counters from Reece

:12:39.:12:44.

McFadden have been the difference. Ladies and gentlemen, what a

:12:45.:12:52.

fantastic match, let's hear it for both boxers. The winner by unanimous

:12:53.:13:02.

decision and through to the quarterfinal, in the blue corner...

:13:03.:13:13.

CHEERING Reece McFadden! 19-year-old Reece McFadden has pulled off what

:13:14.:13:15.

must be considered another upset. He takes a well-deserved bow to the

:13:16.:13:29.

fans who are cheering his accomplishment in hearty fashion.

:13:30.:13:32.

Reece McFadden has beaten Charlie Edwards on an unanimous -- a

:13:33.:13:45.

unanimous decision. What about that? It could be Reece

:13:46.:13:51.

McFadden's Commonwealth Games. For all the boxing results and

:13:52.:13:55.

highlights, go to the website and I play. Now, the weightlifters had

:13:56.:14:02.

their turn to show muscle. It was the 77 kilograms competition for the

:14:03.:14:06.

men and Jack Oliver was going for a gold medal but with plenty of tough

:14:07.:14:08.

opposition. It looks like as good as it gets for

:14:09.:14:32.

amen's competition. The snatch. He went to Delhi, where he had an awful

:14:33.:14:39.

accident, forcing him to withdraw. A torn bicep. That is clearly not

:14:40.:14:50.

affecting him any more. That is long forgotten. Jack Oliver has to make

:14:51.:15:03.

the weight. And yes. That was a solid left. His coach said he is in

:15:04.:15:14.

the form of his life. He cannot afford to give away another attempt.

:15:15.:15:20.

He goes second. Jack goes to third. Can he keep that momentum? His

:15:21.:15:36.

confidence is there. The Commonwealth Games snatch record is

:15:37.:15:47.

148 kilograms. From a weightlifting family in India.

:15:48.:15:52.

Yes. Not a problem. What an exhibition we have had. I would love

:15:53.:16:07.

to know what he would have been capable of with a couple more

:16:08.:16:15.

attempts. I love how he celebrates. Seven kilograms is the cushion over

:16:16.:16:20.

his team-mate, who has the heavier body weight. Jack Oliver at the

:16:21.:16:26.

moment in the bronze medal position. Jack Oliver, the first step, get the

:16:27.:16:30.

total on the board, with a ranking position.

:16:31.:16:35.

Yes, I think I am going to call this. That was really something.

:16:36.:16:46.

Everything has to go into this lift. There is a lot to lose if he

:16:47.:16:56.

potentially does not get this. That was not easy, but he is there. I

:16:57.:16:59.

think he rushed it. Seven kilograms behind his

:17:00.:17:19.

team-mate. A decent first step. Super easy. He took that number

:17:20.:17:23.

because that is what he needed to get ahead of Jack Oliver. It is all

:17:24.:17:35.

about the adjustment on the hands. And the final move. Wait for the

:17:36.:17:45.

adjustment. There it is. Has he done it? Yes, he has. He has taken

:17:46.:17:55.

effectively the bronze medal away from Jack Oliver of England. That

:17:56.:18:11.

was a hesitant clean. That one I think he will get. There should be

:18:12.:18:19.

no question. There he is, celebrating again. I love the

:18:20.:18:25.

emotion this athlete displays. And now he is actually in 11 kilograms

:18:26.:18:30.

ahead of his Indian rival. It does not really matter. Quite

:18:31.:18:56.

deservedly, particularly because the work he did in the snatch phase,

:18:57.:19:04.

that has earned him championship of the Commonwealth. India taking gold

:19:05.:19:08.

and silver. The Australian taking the bronze medal and Jack Oliver

:19:09.:19:12.

just missing out by one kilogram at the end of the day.

:19:13.:19:17.

This is the medal table. Clare Balding and Mark Chapman will

:19:18.:19:38.

be on BBC One very shortly, rounding up the action. Tomorrow, the speed

:19:39.:19:42.

machines will be on the track for the men and women's 100 metres

:19:43.:19:44.

finals. Good night. What a race. Laura Trott delivered

:19:45.:20:18.

again. Chris Bridge chart has just got engaged. The 13-year-old winning

:20:19.:20:23.

a bronze medal and a gold medal goes to England. It is gold again to Fran

:20:24.:20:30.

Halsall. What a double. This is stunning.
