:07:13. > :07:21.He is confident normally on the side. It needs to hurry! It will be
:07:21. > :07:31.good for something! I didn't think that was running! He really had to
:07:31. > :07:50.
:07:50. > :08:00.A clean bowl out, or three! This is a big Paul macro in this game. --
:08:00. > :08:13.
:08:13. > :08:20.unbelievable! That is possibly the miss of the championship, simply
:08:20. > :08:26.because it looked perfect and went through such a small gap. I think
:08:27. > :08:31.we should have that luckiest and unluckiest bowl of the championship.
:08:31. > :08:41.Aziz said, he thought it was perfect. He couldn't have played it

:08:41. > :10:19.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 50 seconds
:10:19. > :10:25.to die. Not bad to leave a gap. It is good leading, bowls in their
:10:25. > :10:35.head. With Paul Foster coming after you, that is all you want. They
:10:35. > :10:35.
:10:35. > :10:42.need a good one from Karen Murphy you. They must score on this end.
:10:42. > :10:47.It looks to be behind their head. That is not like Karen Murphy, five

:11:00. > :11:10.think Laura Thomas has just warned her down in this match. -- warned
:11:10. > :11:46.
:11:46. > :11:55.is a championship lie. You would be tempted to run up this. It is a big
:11:56. > :12:03.hit, or did trail really, isn't it? Karen was saying that they really
:12:03. > :12:13.want you to attack. She is attacking this. I think he is in
:12:13. > :12:35.
:12:35. > :12:45.all match. He is coming back strong now. He needs to hurry to get
:12:45. > :12:45.
:12:45. > :13:40.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 50 seconds
:13:40. > :13:50.away. The ball was going to make just, very accurate jack at Rolling

:14:30. > :14:38.Laura Thomas. She has won a lot of other Championships on the domestic
:14:38. > :14:43.front. But this is the step up and she has been a major contributor to
:14:43. > :14:53.this partnership. She has played her part. Great to play with, Paul
:14:53. > :15:02.
:15:02. > :15:12.Foster, but I would agree with you, First major final on television and
:15:12. > :15:13.
:15:13. > :15:19.she has covered herself in glory. Doesn't smile very much on the rink.
:15:19. > :15:25.A very happy girl off the rink. Deep concentration attack --
:15:25. > :15:32.required. It just shows you how well Rebecca Field played to beat
:15:32. > :15:36.Laura in the singles. I absolutely, another talented young player. I
:15:36. > :15:42.think we will see Paul Foster getting in the cover of balls. I
:15:42. > :15:48.can understand why Karen played that. It is a difficult shot.
:15:48. > :15:54.needed to score three, so it was worth a gamble. Darren will try to
:15:54. > :16:04.trail this, but he will try to put a position bowl in. Doesn't need to
:16:04. > :16:31.
:16:31. > :16:38.than that. There is still a slight gives Paul Foster a bit of a
:16:38. > :16:44.problem. He is going up to have a look at this. This is a definite
:16:44. > :16:49.problem for Paul Foster, here. He has danger if the jack is trailed
:16:50. > :16:56.into this area. But below that, there is another red bowl and it
:16:56. > :17:06.can go much deeper into the triangle. I think that green bowl,
:17:06. > :17:07.
:17:07. > :17:17.Paul will be trying to go one yard beyond that. One-yard on his
:17:17. > :17:21.
:17:21. > :17:26.Foster was looking for. He just needs to pass his own bowl now and
:17:26. > :17:32.go deeper. This is where he wanted it. It is perfect. It is a very
:17:32. > :17:40.good bowl, but there is a definite chance on for Darren Burnett.
:17:40. > :17:50.difficult one. If he trails this four feet, there is a very good
:17:50. > :18:00.
:18:00. > :18:04.chances. The is talking about getting this bowl on to the green
:18:04. > :18:08.bowl and that it removes it. That would bring these other two into
:18:08. > :18:12.position and also his own bowl. own bowl would have to stay and
:18:12. > :18:18.that is the danger with playing with that much weight.
:18:19. > :18:23.alternative is to bring it back into this area. If he is able to
:18:23. > :18:33.bring it down into that sort of area, just a couple of metres. He
:18:33. > :19:07.
:19:07. > :19:11.could follow it all the way back Not quite, just got the edge. All
:19:11. > :19:16.the experience in the world of Karen Murphy and Darren Burnett it
:19:16. > :19:22.wasn't enough on this occasion. Laura Thomas from Wales and Paul
:19:22. > :19:27.Foster from Scotland, for four times a world champion have won it
:19:27. > :19:32.and thoroughly deserved. What a wonderful performance from all of
:19:32. > :19:42.the players. They contributed to a wonderful final. But the star of
:19:42. > :20:00.
:20:00. > :20:06.the show was Laura Thomas and Paul Ladies and gentlemen, the winners
:20:06. > :20:09.are Laura Thomas and and Paul Foster. Another trophy secured by
:20:09. > :20:14.Paul Foster, he and Laura Thomas are this year's mixed pairs
:20:14. > :20:20.champions. Paul Foster will be going for a third title and he
:20:20. > :20:25.features in the BBC's coverage on Wednesday afternoons. He is up
:20:25. > :20:30.against Jason Greenslade for spot in the quarter-finals. It is the
:20:30. > :20:37.men's singles we are concentrating on. And this is one of the
:20:37. > :20:47.brightest, young stars, Scotland's Stewart Anderson. Stuart Anderson
:20:47. > :21:07.
:21:07. > :21:17.He was runner up in 2010 at the age of 23 and was up again Steven Allen.
:21:17. > :21:42.
:21:42. > :21:52.This went to a tie-break which is match, no doubt about it. 26 years
:21:52. > :22:00.
:22:00. > :22:10.foot off the pedal a little bit in the second set and Stephen Allen
:22:10. > :22:11.
:22:11. > :22:51.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 50 seconds
:22:51. > :23:00.moved in. It has been a high- played the draw shot throughout the
:23:00. > :23:06.second set, that was a little bit loose for him. Need to get past,
:23:06. > :23:15.otherwise it is a target. Tie- breaks are different, you only have
:23:15. > :23:24.to score the end, it is not accumulated. Looks a better line in
:23:24. > :23:33.this time. How is the pace? It needs dead pace. Still a touch
:23:33. > :23:38.quick. Stewart Anderson, back position or against. I don't think
:23:38. > :23:48.he will be worrying about the back position. Tie break is all about
:23:48. > :24:04.
:24:04. > :24:11.getting a shot. He will be looking was the last bowl of the end, I
:24:11. > :24:17.think you would be running it at this. However, you have to finish
:24:17. > :24:21.close. I think he should draw. He was very close before. If he is
:24:21. > :24:27.getting to the jack and pulls it back, it is fine. The other
:24:27. > :24:32.alternative is to go for the bowls or run the jack all the way through.
:24:32. > :24:36.If he gets the Bowls, I don't think he is leaving anything close enough.
:24:36. > :24:40.If he gets the jack, obviously he could bury it in the ditch. Lots of
:24:40. > :24:50.choices. The way he has been playing, you would say he should
:24:50. > :25:05.
:25:05. > :25:15.has been so good in this match. First end to the world No. 9,
:25:15. > :25:34.
:25:34. > :25:39.is to give the jack away, and he has done that. He wants the last
:25:39. > :25:44.bowl of this end. Stewart Anderson in the first set was very effective
:25:44. > :25:50.on the short jack lengths. But as this match progressed, he started
:25:51. > :25:56.to go a little bit longer each time. I know you don't want to take his
:25:56. > :26:02.chance at the end in the tie-break, but I just wonder at 23, 24, just
:26:02. > :26:10.to shake things up a bit. It would have been a brave decision to make.
:26:10. > :26:18.That is a good start. I am not sure how the tactics changed during the
:26:18. > :26:28.match and how the players have to adapt. Preconceived game plan does
:26:28. > :26:30.
:26:30. > :26:40.not always work. Only works if you win 2-0 and quite easily. That
:26:40. > :26:41.
:26:41. > :26:49.doesn't help the cause. The Steve Allan. Stewart Anderson staying
:26:49. > :26:53.well away from it. He would have been tempted on the backhand.
:26:53. > :27:00.might have been playing for the spot, he might have been thinking
:27:00. > :27:04.ahead. Even this spot doesn't look terribly good with that front the
:27:04. > :27:12.green one is going to be hard to get it there. He needs a dead pace
:27:12. > :27:22.of this hand. He is close. He needs dead pace of this hand. A perfect
:27:22. > :27:32.
:27:32. > :27:42.bowl. I think it has won the green. Allan. It would be interesting if
:27:42. > :28:08.
:28:08. > :28:14.they couldn't split them. favouring his bowl, otherwise he
:28:14. > :28:19.certainly would have attacked it. He is playing the blocker. He must
:28:19. > :28:29.think he has the shot to play that shot, definitely. The he has not
:28:29. > :28:43.
:28:43. > :28:53.not have played -- Stewart Anderson would not have played that shot
:28:53. > :29:10.
:29:10. > :29:19.attack this. Stewart Anderson has blocked the draw. He needs to use
:29:19. > :29:29.speed, open this up and give himself a chance. You just feel,
:29:29. > :29:50.
:29:50. > :29:54.Gregg, that any disturbance and aces and you're playing poker, you
:29:55. > :30:01.still feel the need to check that there are still there! He is just
:30:01. > :30:06.checking to make sure that he has the shot. This is nitty gritty
:30:06. > :30:16.stuff here in the second round of the World Professional singles.
:30:16. > :30:28.
:30:28. > :30:37.Stewart Anderson deciding to go curious to see if he would try to
:30:37. > :30:47.block it again. This is a fingers crossed job for the world No. 9.
:30:47. > :30:48.
:30:48. > :30:53.This is an incredibly difficult shot for Steve Allen. If he is
:30:53. > :31:02.inside the line, they cut over so quickly. He is showing a bit of
:31:02. > :31:09.interest in this. I think he has a chance! He has got it! The little
:31:09. > :31:19.flick on the front one was enough to move the jack. Second end, Steve
:31:19. > :31:28.
:31:28. > :31:36.I thought it was going to fade away, but a beautiful glide. It was
:31:36. > :31:40.fortuitous, but it wasn't a terrible fluke. That goes down as
:31:40. > :31:50.being rather lucky, but he had the courage to play it with the drawing
:31:50. > :31:51.
:31:51. > :32:01.weight, which is good. To the edges and then did jack when you're going
:32:01. > :32:05.
:32:05. > :32:15.you don't. Both players have to forget that now in good, this last
:32:15. > :32:30.
:32:30. > :32:40.end. -- forget that night, and get Anderson? He is fairly cool. He is
:32:40. > :32:56.
:32:56. > :33:06.on the jack again! Stewart Anderson.
:33:06. > :33:31.
:33:31. > :33:41.mate, you have no time-outs left. Just on the wrong side there. He
:33:41. > :33:56.
:33:56. > :34:06.would you can nominate to destroy the end and reclaim it. -- replay
:34:06. > :34:07.
:34:07. > :34:13.it. He has gone for the draw. He doesn't like it at all! So, what do
:34:13. > :34:18.you do? Do you go on to the re-spot hoping he won't collect, or put in
:34:18. > :34:28.a blocker to make sure he can't kill it? I think I would play the
:34:28. > :34:30.
:34:30. > :34:35.block. The block is not easy. It is a hard shot, and a shot that isn't
:34:35. > :34:45.played very often. He is going for the re-spot. You can't really blame
:34:45. > :34:49.
:34:49. > :34:59.him. He is probably thinking that's he played the perfect block lack
:34:59. > :35:00.
:35:00. > :35:06.end -- perfect block last ends and didn't win! He has nominated to
:35:06. > :35:16.kill the end! He has to get the jack and nothing else will do. He
:35:16. > :35:36.
:35:36. > :35:46.That was a brilliant try. He got there to bowls without meeting the
:35:46. > :35:47.
:35:48. > :35:57.green bowl too far. You thought the green bowl have to go! He was
:35:57. > :36:07.definitely aiming for the jack. If you can get more than the 100 %
:36:07. > :36:19.
:36:19. > :36:29.been getting in that sort of distance throughout the game, but
:36:29. > :36:37.with one bowl to save the game, not that easy! Steve's pass to bowls
:36:37. > :36:43.have saved the match. I wonder if his name is on this game? It is all
:36:44. > :36:53.about nerve and bottle. The line is good enough. I think he has done
:36:54. > :36:57.
:36:57. > :37:04.this! Great bowl by Stewart Anderson! Pure, pure class. He wins
:37:04. > :37:11.a wonderful game. Both players played brilliant stuff. He wins it
:37:11. > :37:20.with the last bowl. Fully deserved. He dominated the tie-break. He news
:37:20. > :37:24.3 to the quarter finals. So, Anderson used forward to the
:37:24. > :37:30.quarter-finals after a dramatic tie-break. There was one
:37:30. > :37:34.outstanding match from the first round still to be played. Jonathan
:37:34. > :37:44.Ross to the first set, Pat Briscoe took the second set and once again
:37:44. > :38:08.
:38:08. > :38:12.of winning the end, you don't have to worry about the number of shots.
:38:12. > :38:22.Jonathan Ross, the bowl should have been in the bag enough to the
:38:22. > :38:45.
:38:45. > :38:55.changing room. She was just too is running. The adrenalin kicking

:38:55. > :39:55.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 50 seconds
:39:55. > :40:01.Just to draw. A couple of brilliant bowls in the last end, and suddenly

:40:34. > :40:44.-- Jonathan Meades another good Briscoe to draw this in with those

:41:25. > :41:34.weight from his last couple of bowls to get this. He overplayed it.
:41:34. > :41:44.He has had three chances to get into that. It doesn't look like
:41:44. > :41:44.
:41:45. > :41:54.Jonathan is going to play his last one. He has had to declare their
:41:55. > :42:02.
:42:02. > :42:12.head. Generally in bowls, people are very honest. That was a very
:42:12. > :42:15.

:44:43. > :44:45.
:44:45. > :44:55.little bit too open. Looking good. That is the one. You have to trail
:44:55. > :45:08.
:45:08. > :45:15.a jack through an don't monkey do now? Does he play the cover shot
:45:15. > :45:21.or does he try to tidy up the head? I would say he will probably try to
:45:21. > :45:27.tidy it up. We cannot cover or the bowls at the back. He is asking the
:45:27. > :45:33.commentary box what to do. I haven't got a clue, Jonathan. What
:45:33. > :45:38.are you asking me for? There is an option to go into that sort of area
:45:38. > :45:48.in the hope that he gets it right. The problem is, if you block and he
:45:48. > :45:57.
:45:57. > :46:02.does get the jack, you have the the forehand. If he touches his own
:46:02. > :46:08.bowl, it will be harder. It is going deeper. He is leaving him the
:46:08. > :46:13.shot. I don't think I would have played that deep. I probably would
:46:13. > :46:20.have gone in between the back two greens. It is a difficult one for
:46:20. > :46:27.Jonathan, he cannot cover every possibility. Controlled weight.
:46:27. > :46:37.Bowl first, stay in. Bowl and jack, take it over to the greens. And
:46:37. > :47:03.
:47:03. > :47:10.number of opportunities here. Never pace. Jonathan Ross's reaction. He
:47:10. > :47:15.fought a very hard for that. He was without doubt, the player you would
:47:15. > :47:20.have expected to win this match comfortably. But it was a struggle
:47:20. > :47:26.in the end against Englishman, Pat Briscoe. We have to say, he was
:47:26. > :47:36.good value for it in the end. He played the tie-break better. This
:47:36. > :47:54.
:47:54. > :48:04.is how the draw looks for the men's between David Gourlay and Alex
:48:04. > :48:08.

:48:17. > :48:23.Gourlay. I would be slightly concerned if I was on the end of
:48:23. > :48:28.that score at the moment. Slightly concerned! I think I would be very
:48:28. > :48:35.concerned if I was on the wrong end of that score. I would be getting
:48:35. > :48:45.my cart Rev it up because it is a bad position to be in. -- car

:48:45. > :49:42.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 50 seconds

:49:52. > :50:06.
:50:06. > :50:16.Plenty of time on the clock. Looks like he is turning his back on it
:50:16. > :50:46.
:50:46. > :50:51.very quickly! It means its pace and poor poll by David Gourlay. If he
:50:51. > :50:59.had put that one on the jack, Alex would have been in trouble. He has
:50:59. > :51:09.still got the space to draw this shot. Swopped on to the backhand.

:51:12. > :51:17.He was contemplating this from the last bowl. He has dropped it.
:51:18. > :51:27.Disappointing, John? He will be disappointed himself. He sets high-

:51:52. > :51:58.standard, Alex, and he knows that It hasn't been a good end for David.
:51:58. > :52:08.So much space. He is shaking his head. He knows they heard isn't
:52:08. > :52:21.
