:03:18. > :03:25.It was the first time the sisters have made it to the semifinals but

:03:25. > :03:32.they had some tough opposition. Kerry was against Rebecca Field.

:03:42. > :03:42.

:03:42. > :04:25.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:04:25. > :04:35.high-quality encounter. Parkwood is looser in the last couple of ones.

:04:35. > :04:52.

:04:52. > :05:02.Extra room. -- she has been ever! This is going to be an nearly

:05:02. > :05:07.

:05:07. > :05:17.strike. -- an early strike. Lucky in some ways. It is out in the open,

:05:17. > :05:22.

:05:22. > :05:32.job done. It does not look enough room to get quite enough on the

:05:32. > :06:01.

:06:01. > :06:11.is going to do well! I cannot see any possible way she can hold about

:06:11. > :06:11.

:06:11. > :06:21.line. Always coming away from it, drawing the target area. She is

:06:21. > :06:22.

:06:22. > :06:32.giving himself a chance with the last. -- herself. It feels like

:06:32. > :06:33.

:06:34. > :06:43.this one will be closer. That is the advantage. This is good!

:06:44. > :06:50.

:06:50. > :06:57.Perfect! She followed that one for quite a while. Well, Terry... She

:06:57. > :07:07.is sticking with the forehand. This is going to have to be some while

:07:07. > :07:08.

:07:08. > :07:18.to get enough width unless she can wrest the bowl all the jack. --

:07:18. > :07:25.

:07:25. > :07:31.rest the bowl or the jack. That was a strange decision. Still, Rebecca

:07:31. > :07:41.did well to get one shot out of that. I am sure she will be

:07:41. > :07:56.

:07:56. > :08:06.thinking, if I can get two that or a three and the last end, you

:08:06. > :08:43.

:08:43. > :08:53.always need a good bowl. That puts battle of the first two. Kerry has

:08:53. > :09:05.

:09:05. > :09:15.been giving her some trouble. Just releasing some of that pressure,

:09:15. > :09:24.

:09:24. > :09:34.doesn't it? When the second one files. -- fails. Not bad! It is

:09:34. > :09:57.

:09:57. > :10:02.the case? That will be good as well. -- how is the pace? Yes! She looked

:10:02. > :10:11.to be in control but now she is in some trouble. Starting to make the

:10:11. > :10:20.effort now. That has come a long way but it started very wide

:10:20. > :10:30.compared to the other ones down there. Chance for a three! That

:10:30. > :10:52.

:10:52. > :11:02.would possibly pinched the first is this? Goodness me! This would be

:11:02. > :11:15.

:11:15. > :11:25.a steal! An opportunity to do some damage. It has got to hit to save

:11:25. > :11:27.

:11:27. > :11:32.and win the first set. She is right down the middle. Perfect. No mac! -

:11:32. > :11:42.- no! She was right down the middle. She could not have hit the target

:11:42. > :11:44.

:11:44. > :11:48.any better than that. That is a horrible result. Rebecca came

:11:48. > :11:58.storming back to take that first set but Carrie began a fight back

:11:58. > :12:20.

:12:20. > :12:30.of her own in the second. -- Kerry would from what it was four five

:12:30. > :12:37.

:12:37. > :12:47.ends ago. This has the potential to turn the game around. Rebecca Field

:12:47. > :13:03.

:13:03. > :13:13.looking for the perfect forehand draw. This backhand has a tendency

:13:13. > :13:13.

:13:13. > :13:18.to call off on the first one. will see! Even going into the last,

:13:18. > :13:28.one up is good for Kerry Packer Wood. Not sure if Rebecca Field can

:13:28. > :13:38.do a lot on this. She may give the shot away. Pretty good bowl. Very

:13:38. > :13:59.

:13:59. > :14:09.to win. Any touch! She has got it! Perfect! Brilliant, absolutely

:14:09. > :14:16.

:14:16. > :14:21.than this. Millimetres perfect. And key to it was the red bowl dropping

:14:21. > :14:31.key to it was the red bowl dropping key to it was the red bowl dropping

:14:31. > :14:33.

:14:33. > :14:42.away from the jack to make it a double. Can it get an edge? It has!

:14:42. > :14:52.It has! Perfect shot! And the perfect result. There is always the

:14:52. > :15:23.

:15:23. > :15:33.chance of the jack scraping through pace? Coming well. She is close.

:15:33. > :15:41.

:15:41. > :15:51.lot of difference, I don't think. Both players have to win the last

:15:51. > :15:51.

:15:51. > :16:44.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:16:44. > :16:51.end where This one counts or not. - a tie-break. You would think that

:16:51. > :17:01.the match deserves a tie-break. Having said that, she will not be

:17:01. > :17:01.

:17:01. > :17:59.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:17:59. > :18:09.thinking that. She will want to win nerve. -- two good lead bowls. This

:18:09. > :18:25.

:18:25. > :18:35.a feeling she has just pushed through this one as well. Maybe

:18:35. > :18:43.

:18:43. > :18:51.could win this set. This is looking good. This is looking good. Is this

:18:51. > :18:58.the winning bowl? That's it, number one, right on top of it. It might

:18:58. > :19:03.force Kerry on to the backhand now. This is like a tie-break end. She

:19:03. > :19:13.might be better just hitting it. think she's going to. A forehand

:19:13. > :19:22.

:19:22. > :19:32.remember her missing. Yes, she has hit off the others. She is under

:19:32. > :19:44.

:19:44. > :19:50.She just going to stick to the backhand. Really close it down. It

:19:50. > :19:55.looks just up this time. Well, that looks like he was extremely

:19:55. > :20:04.deliberate but she has already got one there. She was trying to match

:20:04. > :20:14.of the green bowl. She did not want to leave a jack high bowl. -- jack

:20:14. > :20:21.

:20:21. > :20:31.eye. She can I go back can draw, for the take out. -- she can either

:20:31. > :20:44.

:20:44. > :20:49.backhand draw. She is going for the break. It is all over. And very

:20:49. > :20:52.good match between Rebecca Field and Kelly Packwood in the semifinal,

:20:52. > :20:59.but it is the 23-year-old from Norwich, Rebecca Field, who makes

:20:59. > :21:03.her way to the final of the Ladies' World Matchplay. Excellent game.

:21:03. > :21:07.Eight shots to seven in the first set. And eight shots to seven in

:21:07. > :21:09.set. And eight shots to seven in the second set was a

:21:09. > :21:15.congratulations to Rebecca Field who is through to the final for the

:21:15. > :21:21.very first time. Disappointment for Kelly Packwood but with her sister

:21:21. > :21:26.Kelly did better in her semifinal against Alison Merrien? Merrien

:21:26. > :21:36.made the better start and leads 7-4 in the second set. We will join it

:21:36. > :21:57.

:21:57. > :22:07.another good starter. She has been winning that little money battle

:22:07. > :22:12.

:22:12. > :22:22.with the first two bowls. Just enough to keep Alison clear. Kelly

:22:22. > :22:22.

:22:22. > :23:50.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:23:50. > :23:53.just can't get the 5th poll going is fair. Now, this is interesting.

:23:53. > :24:03.One more mistake by Alison Merrien and she will be getting very, very

:24:03. > :24:10.

:24:11. > :24:14.concerned. It still looks to me like a forehand drop. She might be

:24:14. > :24:24.tempted with a heavy shot and go for the jack and clear-out

:24:24. > :24:50.

:24:50. > :24:59.it is a wise thing to do. I thought she might have played it in the

:24:59. > :25:09.forehand because the shoulder to Reston, but it looks a bit heavy. -

:25:09. > :25:44.

:25:44. > :25:54.- rest on. Chance. A good chance Packwood with that last delivery

:25:54. > :25:54.

:25:54. > :27:09.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:27:09. > :27:14.but she just pushed through. She Packwood was 6-0 down in the first

:27:14. > :27:24.set, she came back to one bowl of squaring it off. She would want to

:27:24. > :27:24.

:27:24. > :28:16.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:28:16. > :28:26.Having missed that opportunity in the last end of the first set,

:28:26. > :28:30.

:28:30. > :28:38.Kelly does not want to get a bad end to start this one. It needs a

:28:38. > :28:48.couple of feet of weight. She looks under the line to me. Yes, very

:28:48. > :28:55.

:28:55. > :29:03.fancy Alison to put a fourth in. She has already put three good

:29:03. > :29:09.bowls in. Disaster for Kelly. often the case when you are joining

:29:09. > :29:19.for the full house, you drop short for your last bowl. But she does

:29:19. > :29:38.

:29:38. > :29:41.It is a good choice of colour. No worries. On a good end for Alison.

:29:41. > :29:46.Kelly never recovered and Alison went on to complete a comprehensive

:29:46. > :29:51.victory to seal a place in the final. The 2013 ladies final here

:29:51. > :29:58.will be contested between Alison Merrien and Rebecca Field. You can

:29:58. > :30:02.see that on BBC Two today, and that is at 1pm. I doubt he will be

:30:02. > :30:12.crowned the 2013 ladies champion. - - find out. Now to look at the

:30:12. > :30:28.

:30:28. > :30:33.men's singles. The man of the ranked number 1. I'm from Scotland.

:30:33. > :30:40.I'm very established and that can never be taken away from you

:30:40. > :30:44.COMMENTATOR: Great ball by Paul Foster. He has picked it out. Paul

:30:44. > :30:48.Foster and Alex Marshall take the world in doctors title for the

:30:48. > :30:52.third time in succession. My goodness me, they are dominating

:30:52. > :30:59.now. A lot of people say I'm one of the best players in the world which

:30:59. > :31:06.is nice. We know how good we are. want to do better in the singles

:31:06. > :31:13.than last year. COMMENTATOR: Paul Foster has been put out of the

:31:14. > :31:19.World Indoor Bowls Cahmpionship. don't want to play less than me.

:31:19. > :31:28.I'm happy with the way things going, so why not? Hot a ball to play.

:31:28. > :31:34.What a great shot by Paul Foster. He is simply unstoppable. Paul is

:31:34. > :31:40.going for his third trophy of the week. He as against the Welsh man

:31:40. > :31:50.for a spot in the quarters but he was in imperious form. We join it

:31:50. > :31:56.

:31:56. > :32:01.at the fourth end. 4-1 after 3 for Foster. I have to say he is looking

:32:01. > :32:08.good. Certainly looking good in this game. I can recall many years

:32:08. > :32:12.ago he played under Preston, what a classic. One of the best games I

:32:12. > :32:17.think if ever seen. Both players were playing both balls, that would

:32:17. > :32:27.have been about 15 years ago. 90s from my memory, before we

:32:27. > :32:35.

:32:35. > :32:40.arrived here. It was a fantastic game. 98. From my memory. One his

:32:40. > :32:50.first world championship in 98. Is how far he is going back. Could

:32:50. > :33:04.

:33:04. > :33:12.have been then when he played Jai son. I was going to say he was a

:33:12. > :33:20.young pup, Foster, but he is 39. Feels like he has been about for 30

:33:20. > :33:23.years. Seems like it! (LAUGHTER) There is where Jai son has tried to

:33:23. > :33:33.take advantage, tried to make the ball count and make it difficult

:33:33. > :33:44.

:33:44. > :33:54.for Paul to not just keep drawing away. Much better. That's better.

:33:54. > :34:07.

:34:07. > :34:15.(LAUGHTER). Stopped to ask questions. I think the weight was

:34:15. > :34:25.OK. Is what when was looking for. Just hard to get back. Backhanders,

:34:25. > :34:33.

:34:33. > :34:37.a characteristic that just holds off. That was better from Jai son A

:34:37. > :34:41.good ball. He needs to force Paul Foster into playing hard shots.

:34:41. > :34:49.This is not easy. This is probably the first time Paul has been in a

:34:49. > :34:56.bit of trouble. He has always had the open draw. Just more pressure

:34:56. > :35:00.on the shot. Reverting to the heavier bowl. He is bang on it by

:35:00. > :35:10.the looks of it. Two of them out D well taking two away. That is a

:35:10. > :35:22.

:35:22. > :35:26.good result, I think. The even ball on the jack - Jason has 15 inches.

:35:27. > :35:36.He has split two good balls and you would expect Jason to add another

:35:37. > :35:53.

:35:53. > :36:03.here. Well played Jason. (APPLAUSE) Best end for Jason, no doubt about

:36:03. > :36:03.

:36:03. > :37:13.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:37:13. > :37:23.that. Needs another three or four of those. On the backhand side they

:37:23. > :37:42.

:37:42. > :37:46.go slightly wide, they do not come back. This looks a better line.

:37:46. > :37:51.Iting to see where this finishes. If it finishes on the centre line.

:37:51. > :37:58.Yes, yes it did. Found a line. Found the line thin j arc ck. One

:37:58. > :38:08.red. This must be tempting for Jason. Might be going to have a go

:38:08. > :38:18.at this, just take the ball out afpl good choice of shot. -- a good

:38:18. > :38:19.

:38:19. > :38:25.choice of shot. Looks under. Was close. Just misses that. It was

:38:25. > :38:30.always missing! How could you not see it, man? You are right, you are

:38:30. > :38:40.better than me, man, you knowthat. He has to be careful now, Jason.

:38:40. > :38:46.You have to seconds. Paul has all the position. First - well, I think

:38:46. > :38:51.he is playing a good bowl but this could be wrong. He is very

:38:51. > :38:56.courageous. There is no doubt about that. This could go absolutely

:38:56. > :39:00.pear-shaped Wide. It is not - he has not thrown it wide. He is on

:39:00. > :39:06.his own bowl, that is the problem. Is that one going to city on? I

:39:06. > :39:11.think it is. If that bowl stayed in the ditch... Jason's bowl has gone

:39:11. > :39:15.off. He is three shots down, that was the big, big danger. That is

:39:15. > :39:25.why he turned his back on it. E knew he was on the wrong line. Once

:39:25. > :39:35.

:39:35. > :39:42.he was going high he was only going to do damage. It is a absolute car

:39:42. > :39:47.crash here for Jason. This is a certain for Paul Foster. Even you

:39:47. > :39:57.could draw this David. Three yards! Steady, steady Andy! I need four

:39:57. > :40:01.

:40:01. > :40:06.and a half. (LAUGHTER) (APPLAUSE) Four shots, Paul Foster. I think I

:40:07. > :40:12.would be slightly more concerned about Jason. Yes. Can't say it is a

:40:12. > :40:22.great position to be in. Stranger things have happened! Needs to

:40:22. > :40:22.

:40:22. > :41:07.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds

:41:07. > :41:13.score at least a double here to s any chance. (APPLAUSE) Just when

:41:13. > :41:19.you were talking about that with Paul Foster back in 98-99 season,

:41:19. > :41:26.he won the World Indoor Bowls Cahmpionship and de fence title the

:41:26. > :41:31.first time here. A closer bowl for Jason with two bowls. Kicks one

:41:31. > :41:36.away. I remember playing him in the defence of his tight that year t

:41:36. > :41:41.second round. I know the result for that!. Yes, absolutely. Howl shots

:41:41. > :41:49.did you score? I took a set out of him, scared the living daylight out

:41:49. > :41:52.of him! (LAUGHTER) That was in your old good days, David! No, that was

:41:52. > :41:58.a few months before when I played him in something else! (LAUGHTER)

:41:58. > :42:05.had to catch him before he got too good. Certainly playing well at the

:42:05. > :42:09.moment He is just an all-round player, who really is. Jason has

:42:09. > :42:12.gone out chasing. Striking again. He is in the area. A good strike,

:42:12. > :42:22.Jason. He is very, very good on that forehand runner, normally.

:42:22. > :42:58.

:42:58. > :43:04.That is a good strike but once was slightly concerned about

:43:04. > :43:08.patching his own shot, though. bet he was! We have the perfect

:43:08. > :43:17.view from the box all the way down that backhand. It looks as though

:43:17. > :43:27.he was right on the short one. Jason - only on down. It has to be

:43:27. > :43:51.

:43:51. > :43:56.the draw. That is the match over now. Looking good for the

:43:56. > :44:06.quarterfinals, Foster. To end to go. Jason needs two 4s to get this into

:44:06. > :44:26.

:44:26. > :44:36.the tie break. Not going to happen. (LAUGHTER). Correct! What is that,

:44:36. > :44:39.

:44:39. > :44:49.a little blue number? Looks like opal to me. Pretty splendid! Once

:44:49. > :44:50.

:44:50. > :45:00.you go through all the Queen and various others Versace! Gucci! You

:45:00. > :45:01.

:45:01. > :45:04.have to work it out. That is all the thing with juedyi, of course,

:45:04. > :45:09.that with the charity draw, whichever jacket she is going to

:45:09. > :45:12.actually wear in the final. Is the whole idea, all the different

:45:12. > :45:22.coloured jackets. Very stylish, of course, but that is the reason

:45:22. > :45:33.

:45:33. > :45:43.behind it. Found a gap but should not be too worried, its a close

:45:43. > :46:01.

:46:02. > :46:06.ball. If that drops in short t other ball. Well, it is not bad.

:46:06. > :46:11.Jason his first and third. I do not think Foster has had time out, has

:46:11. > :46:15.he? I do not think he has. He is one of the quickest players, he is

:46:15. > :46:22.understand-marked then about 3 or 4 seconds later the ball leaves his

:46:22. > :46:27.hand. So other players, I watched David who is 10 seconds on the mark.

:46:27. > :46:31.This is probably a sang to Paul. is on the mark quickly. Does not

:46:31. > :46:37.take his time. He is quickly away. That is OK, alright. There are a

:46:37. > :46:43.few players, Nicky Brett, Paul Foster and a few others - it has no

:46:43. > :46:47.effect whatsoever. David Gurley worked it well. He is a very

:46:47. > :46:57.intelligent bowler. Jason is talking about 10 seconds on the mat

:46:57. > :46:59.

:46:59. > :47:03.so that is probably the average for the player. Jason needs another one

:47:03. > :47:07.in the area to give him a chance to pick up 4. Still a lot of running

:47:07. > :47:11.to do. Just needs to beat the short red one. He is waving it up. That's

:47:11. > :47:21.it! All over. The game is all over. Yep, there are to bowls to be

:47:21. > :47:26.played but there is if way Jason can pick up 4 now, and he knows it.

:47:26. > :47:30.It is almost like a double snooker, if there was such a thing. Unless

:47:30. > :47:34.Paul pushes it up but I do not think he will be overly generous. I

:47:35. > :47:44.think they are just going to draw winner here. Closes it down. Number

:47:45. > :47:48.

:47:48. > :47:54.1. (APPLAUSE) Well, classic shot, hit and hope. Yes, I think so,

:47:54. > :48:00.David. That is all he has on. But there is just no way he is going to

:48:00. > :48:10.score a 4 here. From to fly leaf of the coaching manual..Ers hit and

:48:10. > :48:16.

:48:16. > :48:21.we go. He gets one shot. The match - Paul Foster. I have to say Paul

:48:21. > :48:26.has been very good value for the second-line win. Never really in

:48:26. > :48:32.any trouble against Jason. Paul Foster who has won the match 10

:48:32. > :48:40.shots to 3, 10 shots to 4 and extremely comfortable win. Foster

:48:40. > :48:45.moves into the quarterfinals. Foster is through the last 8. He

:48:45. > :48:50.will play Jonathan Ross or Mervyn King. Anderson will play Ben yet or

:48:50. > :49:00.King. Anderson will play Ben yet or Brett. And the clash ever two

:49:00. > :49:03.former champions. One more match to provide you highlights from between

:49:03. > :49:13.Scotland's Jonathan Ross and former Scotland's Jonathan Ross and former

:49:13. > :49:14.

:49:14. > :49:24.champion Mervyn King. A big chance here for Jonathan Ross. Take the

:49:24. > :49:27.

:49:27. > :49:33.set, move to the tie break on a high. The winner of this match will

:49:33. > :49:43.take on Paul Foster in the quarterfinal. Is appetising! That

:49:43. > :49:52.

:49:52. > :49:58.will be a good game. What has happened? I think Mervyn realises

:49:58. > :50:03.this set has gone. He will try to focus now on a tie break. Yeah,

:50:03. > :50:13.Andy, but you do not want the throw them all over the park. You want to

:50:13. > :50:17.try to may this end as if you are playing into the tie break. He is

:50:17. > :50:27.such an accurate player. But the balls are holding off a little bit

:50:27. > :50:36.

:50:36. > :50:39.and he is struggling. Jonathan just leaving head alone in position

:50:40. > :50:49.bowling. Does not need to go near any of the red bowls. Is good

:50:50. > :51:14.

:51:14. > :51:17.enough. (APPLAUSE) The balls are gathering a bit at the side.. He is

:51:17. > :51:23.probably trying to trail that into the gap so you can understand why

:51:23. > :51:33.he has played one or two balls here. I think he has a chance with this.

:51:33. > :51:39.

:51:39. > :51:49.Fancy four? That is very narrow- looking. Can't see him holding.

:51:49. > :52:02.

:52:02. > :52:07.I think we will see a different Mervyn King in the tie break, David.

:52:07. > :52:12.Good value. Very good bowls but the story of this match has been Mervyn

:52:12. > :52:22.won the first set 7-6. Both players playing really well. Mersin has

:52:22. > :52:37.

:52:37. > :52:45.gone walkabout in the second set. Jonathan in on the jack again. This

:52:45. > :52:50.looks better. (APPLAUSE) That is an indication of what has been going

:52:50. > :52:53.on, Andy. Yes, I think so. He has just been saving himself for this.

:52:53. > :53:01.A big cheer from the crowd as well. I think the crowd realised he was

:53:01. > :53:11.having bad spell. All it needs now is two good ends and his into the

:53:11. > :53:34.

:53:34. > :53:39.quarterfinal. So, another chance. This looks more like Mervyn King.

:53:39. > :53:43.Is very good. Where has he been for the last six ends? Maybe he has

:53:43. > :53:49.just been thrilling us, getting a bit of practice time on the green

:53:49. > :53:55.to get to the tie break. The thing about the tie break is you can

:53:55. > :53:59.attack. He e attacking and he is under. He has to go faster and

:53:59. > :54:04.watch that bowl hold up. It will never hold up. He has been drawing

:54:04. > :54:08.so well the last few end. But that is a back bell and it is still in

:54:08. > :54:13.position, so Johnny Ross is not all lost. There it is left side of your

:54:13. > :54:18.picture. Jack will make it back to there. Mervyn King choice? Does he

:54:18. > :54:22.triedy it up or go for cover? think I will go for cover. Not a

:54:23. > :54:32.big target for Jonathan. I do not think Mervyn will ever go near this.

:54:33. > :54:39.

:54:39. > :54:49.Quite rightly so. Covering this spot. Yes, spot covered. Not a lot

:54:49. > :54:51.

:54:51. > :54:57.of choice here for Johnathan Ross. I think he just has to come into it.

:54:57. > :55:01.This looks too wide and heavy. Apart from that it is perfect!

:55:01. > :55:11.First game to Mervyn. Disappointing effort from Jonathan Ross. He has

:55:11. > :55:25.

:55:25. > :55:30.been much better than that in this match. A little bit of indecision.

:55:30. > :55:35.So Mervyn survived the onslaught of Jonathan Ross in the second set

:55:35. > :55:45.when losing 14 shots to 4 where he has picked up a single. Takes the

:55:45. > :56:01.

:56:01. > :56:06.first end of the tie break. The bowl just struggling to get back to

:56:06. > :56:16.the centre. Not a bad start. feet way, that is not going to be

:56:16. > :56:53.

:56:53. > :56:58.good enough. Just wondered if he narrowed it a slight bit, Andy, it

:56:58. > :57:02.could get a bit heavier. Yes, I won der, sometimes the centre of the

:57:02. > :57:08.rink does become heavier. Has John tn adjusted from his first heavy

:57:08. > :57:18.though? He is close to this, very close to the ball. Got it! He has

:57:18. > :57:22.

:57:22. > :57:27.dropped away. I thought the other way. Just got it on the high side.

:57:28. > :57:37.Looks to be arrest sting or falling in and Jonathan goes to the further

:57:38. > :57:47.

:57:47. > :57:51.side. That is hat Mervyn was trying to do, drop in for the shot S

:57:51. > :57:57.expect this to be the winner, although he is pushing the ball up.

:57:57. > :58:01.He is not running. I don't think anyone can believe this. Mervyn has

:58:01. > :58:07.been called the Swerve for a reason. His balls normally swerve in for

:58:07. > :58:12.all sorts of angles because he is a great draw-shot player with a wide

:58:12. > :58:18.bias bowl, but he is struggling to get centre rink on this. As we can

:58:18. > :58:22.see t opening bowl, which I said would be beaten, as yet has not

:58:22. > :58:26.been beaten, so that still holds and it is good enough for Mervyn to

:58:26. > :58:30.go through to the quarters. can't leave it wide open, Andy, he

:58:30. > :58:37.has the play it a I gain. Surely. You fell as if Jonathan will get

:58:37. > :58:47.close with these last bols, so he is a close one - bowls. He is on

:58:47. > :58:52.the other side of the Mount as well, trying to help the - the mat. Ball

:58:52. > :58:56.down to pace. He is waving at the ball to get back in which means he

:58:56. > :58:59.is closer. Yes, that is the winner. Needs to drop. Has to done that. If

:58:59. > :59:09.it had dropped I think it would have been a very secure singles

:59:09. > :59:10.

:59:10. > :59:15.shot. But it is a match-lie former have in King. Two against, but this

:59:15. > :59:21.is not easy A lot of pressure here for Jonathan. Needs a big bowl.

:59:21. > :59:27.Might be better with this one. He holds. Always good under pressure,

:59:27. > :59:30.Jonathan Ross. It is just had he pushes at it or not. This's all.

:59:30. > :59:36.do not think he is going to get back. Yes, that's the danger. He

:59:36. > :59:40.knew he had to be there. Was the problem. He purchased over it, but

:59:40. > :59:48.Mervyn King, the local man overcomes Jonathan Ross in the tie

:59:48. > :59:55.break two shots to nil. He takes the second match an moves in to the
