BBC One: Day 10: 12:10-15:00

:00:41. > :00:44.Good Afternoon - welcome to Glasgow and Day 10 of the Commonwealth Games

:00:45. > :00:57.England's Liam Pitchford has a crack at a gold medal

:00:58. > :01:00.in the men's singles semi final of the table tennis - but he's up

:01:01. > :01:06.against Singapore's highest ranked player in the tournament Gao Ning.

:01:07. > :01:10.And Nicola Adams goes for gold in the final of the

:01:11. > :01:13.Women's Flyweight - but standing in her way is the tough Michaela

:01:14. > :01:43.The men's ten metre platform featuring Tom Daley over on BBC

:01:44. > :01:44.Three. In the men's hockey second semi

:01:45. > :01:47.final NZ take on India - that's starting now and Danny

:01:48. > :01:50.Kerry's England go for gold in the Women's hockey v Australia tonight -

:01:51. > :01:53.all the sports live on the BBC Some great boxing to come later

:01:54. > :02:05.in the programme - but first for us this lunchtime - it's table tennis

:02:06. > :02:08.and did you know that no British man has won the table tennis singles

:02:09. > :02:11.title at a Commonwealth Games? Get ready

:02:12. > :02:37.for some powerful ping pong. Table tennis is a quick and skilful

:02:38. > :02:43.sport requiring power and delicacy. The bats are made of wood covered by

:02:44. > :02:59.rubber, giving players different control of speed and spin. Each

:03:00. > :03:13.rally begins with a serve which must be hit from behind the table, the

:03:14. > :03:18.ball must cross the service side. In doubles they must go from right-hand

:03:19. > :03:22.corner to the other. Each players must strike the return in order.

:03:23. > :03:28.Those who hit out of turn lose the point. After every two points the

:03:29. > :03:35.service is changed. Matches are the best of five sets, with the first to

:03:36. > :03:36.11 taking the set. There are men's and women's singles" and mixed

:03:37. > :03:36.doubles. So we're heading for the

:03:37. > :03:36.Scotston Sports Campus - scene of some amazing squash matches this

:03:37. > :03:36.week and it could be a golden day this is the sport that's known

:03:37. > :03:43.as Chess played at 100 miles per hour - with the ball hit three times

:03:44. > :03:47.a second during rallies. In the Men's singles semi-finals --

:03:48. > :03:49.England's Liam Pitchford takes on the highest-ranked player

:03:50. > :03:52.in the field in Singapore's Gao Ning the silver medallist

:03:53. > :03:54.in this event in Delhi. Pitchford, who beat Gao Ning

:03:55. > :03:57.at the end of last year, could win two medals today as he will compete

:03:58. > :04:00.in the mixed doubles final later. We join Pitchford v Ning

:04:01. > :04:02.at 2 games all. Liam Pitchford is serving

:04:03. > :04:18.and your commentator is Paul Hand. According to the pattern of this

:04:19. > :04:21.match, Downing is due to win this one, the first and the third game.

:04:22. > :04:33.This is the start of the fifth. All eyes glued to this match in this

:04:34. > :05:40.house. Who, sheer brilliance. Pitchford

:05:41. > :05:47.through the kitchen sink at him. -- oh, sheer brilliance. Finishing with

:05:48. > :05:58.a ball off the edge. A run of four points stemmed by

:05:59. > :06:19.Pitchford. It has been a match of high-quality,

:06:20. > :06:26.very few aren't forced errors, a lot of winning points. Both men

:06:27. > :06:31.demonstrating masterful control of the ball, precision heating. --

:06:32. > :08:29.heating. -- hits. The last Englishman standing in the

:08:30. > :08:50.Men's Singles event, trying to stay with Gao Ning.

:08:51. > :09:08.Doing his utmost, Pitchford, to reduce the deficit.

:09:09. > :09:20.Just missing the end of the table, almost kissing it.

:09:21. > :09:33.Gallon in -- Gao Ning closing in on a 3-2 lead.

:09:34. > :09:44.A valiant effort from Pitchford. Is there another momentum swing in this

:09:45. > :10:18.game? It is a point of this quality,

:10:19. > :10:25.redline intensity. Almost back level, just trailing by one point,

:10:26. > :10:36.Pitchford. A time-out called by the coach from Singapore. So tough to

:10:37. > :11:21.sustain this level of momentum. Fascinating to see what changes will

:11:22. > :11:26.be made now. Pitchford clawing back momentum, trying to stay with the

:11:27. > :11:32.top seed. What does he have up his sleeve?

:11:33. > :11:43.It was a good forehand from Gao Ning, Pitchford dismissing it

:11:44. > :12:08.nonchalantly. He has found the edge! How did that

:12:09. > :12:14.find the edge of the table? Remarkable defence by Liam

:12:15. > :12:34.Pitchford. He has the lead in this game. That brought the house down.

:12:35. > :12:48.He is one point away from a 3-2 lead in the semifinal, in his quest for

:12:49. > :13:10.the final. Brilliant from the top seed.

:13:11. > :13:22.Straight at Pitchford's body. As a consequence, the English coach calls

:13:23. > :13:42.a time-out. A poignant moment. One point for a 3-2 lead.

:13:43. > :13:54.The crowd's volume has doubled over the last minute or so. As we

:13:55. > :14:04.anxiously await the next point after the time-out. Liam Pitchford with

:14:05. > :14:27.game point for a 3-2 lead. Only serve of Gao Ning. -- on the serve.

:14:28. > :15:02.event, with his performance against India, back-to-back victories. Is he

:15:03. > :15:14.on the way to doing the same hair? -- the same here? He says, has a 3-2

:15:15. > :15:25.lead in this semifinal match. Pitchford leading three games to

:15:26. > :15:30.two. JASON MOHAMMAD: A fantastic fightback from Liam.

:15:31. > :15:37.But Ning came back in the second game to set up a final, crucial

:15:38. > :15:40.game. That's where we pick it up. COMMENTATOR: The start of the

:15:41. > :16:25.seventh game, Pitchford serving, 3-3.

:16:26. > :16:33.A brilliant running backhand that did the damage from Gao Ning. A

:16:34. > :17:23.great recovery. Whatever happens here, this has to

:17:24. > :17:28.go down as the match of the men's singles event. Every point so

:17:29. > :17:44.closely contested. He's brought his best when it's

:17:45. > :18:04.counted the most, Gao Ning. Is he going to draw away from

:18:05. > :18:06.Pitchford here? It's been a sparkling performance from him, the

:18:07. > :18:31.man in the yellow shirt. Just when you think the top seed is

:18:32. > :18:32.going to accelerate away, he's pegged back by the valiant

:18:33. > :18:49.Pitchford. Every point now greeted by a roar of

:18:50. > :19:33.applause. Well, he sensed a small lapse in

:19:34. > :20:47.focus as Pitchford bounced back. " Hold on," says Gao Ning, "I'm not

:20:48. > :21:27.ready". A roar from the Singaporean fans

:21:28. > :21:31.around the campus as the top seed accelerates away again. It is the

:21:32. > :21:41.final and deciding game here. The Princess of Paddington on

:21:42. > :22:01.looking. She's up in a few matches' time, in

:22:02. > :22:10.the gold-medal match, with Pitchford against the Drinkhalls. But here,

:22:11. > :22:11.Gao Ning has match point. He's played quite simply brilliantly at

:22:12. > :22:31.the back end of this game. Its Gao Ning, the top seed, who has

:22:32. > :22:34.earned his place in the final of the men's singles with a quite brilliant

:22:35. > :22:49.win over Liam Pitchford, 4-3. That must be really tough, given it

:22:50. > :22:53.went all the way. It was a great match. I played well. I had the lead

:22:54. > :22:58.and I think I had some chances in the next two sets that he played

:22:59. > :23:00.well and it was a good game. I'm just disappointed to not get

:23:01. > :23:02.through. You do still have just disappointed to not get

:23:03. > :23:05.through. You do still a chance for a bronze medal later in the singles

:23:06. > :23:09.but you are going for gold in the mixed doubles. What do you do

:23:10. > :23:14.between now and then? Just go and try and relax and pick myself up.

:23:15. > :23:18.I've got two more big match to play and it is difficult to lose a close

:23:19. > :23:24.game but I've still got everyone to play for. Has that redoubled your

:23:25. > :23:28.efforts to get the gold this afternoon? Yeah, I want the gold

:23:29. > :23:36.medal and that's what I'm here to get and hopefully, in the mixed, we

:23:37. > :23:41.can do that. Thank you very much. JASON MOHAMMAD: The other men's

:23:42. > :23:44.singles semifinal was between the Melbourne 2006 gold medallist and a

:23:45. > :23:53.Singaporean opponent. The Singaporean took it in straight

:23:54. > :23:56.games which means that he goes through. More table tennis to come

:23:57. > :24:02.with the mixed doubles gold-medal match later and, of course, some

:24:03. > :24:05.brilliant boxing finals to look forward to. But before we go back to

:24:06. > :24:10.the men's hockey and the table tennis and boxing, it has been a

:24:11. > :24:13.wonderful ten days here in Glasgow at the Commonwealth Games. There

:24:14. > :24:18.have been medals for England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, which

:24:19. > :24:23.means we should be in a very good place for future world Championships

:24:24. > :24:28.and the Rio Olympics in 2016. A man who knows who it takes -- what it

:24:29. > :24:35.takes to win Olympic gold has been investigating.

:24:36. > :24:40.In a few days' time we will cross over an Olympic threshold and

:24:41. > :24:44.officially be closer to reality 2016 than we are to London 2012. Glasgow

:24:45. > :24:50.has been a wonderful reminder of what we as a nation can do, both

:24:51. > :24:59.hosting and competing at, a multisport event. What I start for

:25:00. > :25:07.the Commonwealth Games! But Ely sport is a hard business. -- elite

:25:08. > :25:14.sport. Assessors will be judging where we are on the road to Rio. So

:25:15. > :25:21.how much information can we really clean from the results in Glasgow?

:25:22. > :25:25.Daniel Keatings, swaying straight, swinging clean and keeping his

:25:26. > :25:30.rhythm. Gymnastics is definitely stronger than it was in London. The

:25:31. > :25:35.all-round gymnasts are aiming for the 90s. It is a very exclusive

:25:36. > :25:39.club. Max Whitlock is over 90 consistently so that means, without

:25:40. > :25:44.question, he is top three in the world from an all-around point of

:25:45. > :25:55.view. Team England win the final race. We've never won the men's

:25:56. > :25:59.4x600 meter relay. Australia have always won it. To beat them by such

:26:00. > :26:03.a margin was unbelievably impressive. That has only come from

:26:04. > :26:10.the belief, the pool of talent and the training we've got. There are

:26:11. > :26:15.some sports fans who, as -- some sports that, as good as the results

:26:16. > :26:18.have been, will not be contested in the Olympics will top so it is

:26:19. > :26:22.thanks from Glasgow but no thanks from Rio for bowls, netball and

:26:23. > :26:28.squash. The gold-medal goes to the world's number two. The sport that

:26:29. > :26:36.do cross over both Commonwealth and Olympics have shown up varying

:26:37. > :26:41.degrees of success and concern. Sir Bradley Wiggins and England have to

:26:42. > :26:45.settle for the silver. They're always watershed moment and London

:26:46. > :26:48.was going to be at. They've lost leadership and some big talents and

:26:49. > :26:53.it will take time to rebuild. It isn't certain that will happen in

:26:54. > :26:59.time for Rio. A coming of age for the 20-year-old. We have a whole new

:27:00. > :27:04.crop of people coming through, which is really encouraging, new names of

:27:05. > :27:09.19, 20 and 21 years of age. Come Rio, what those who have been here

:27:10. > :27:14.have learned will stand them in good stead. I think all our Olympic

:27:15. > :27:18.sports are shaping up really well. UK sport are confident that we

:27:19. > :27:24.benchmarking at least as well at this point as we were at this point

:27:25. > :27:28.in London. While Glasgow has offered healthy competition, not all events

:27:29. > :27:34.are world-class. Due to the absence of some superpower none Commonwealth

:27:35. > :27:42.nations. That isn't to say some performers is wouldn't stand up when

:27:43. > :27:45.the world comes calling. This is the Commonwealth Games, not the world

:27:46. > :27:49.Championships. All we can do is look at the swimmers are and they are

:27:50. > :27:55.world-class. We had four swimmers that are number one ranked in the

:27:56. > :28:02.world. The competition within the British team is so strong that not

:28:03. > :28:05.only are they fighting for places amongst themselves to go to the

:28:06. > :28:10.world Championships and the Olympics but they are so dominant, and the

:28:11. > :28:15.whole world is looking at our home nations and saying, "how are they

:28:16. > :28:19.getting these results and producing performances with not only such

:28:20. > :28:26.difficulty but such fine execution? " One thing is for sure - in sport

:28:27. > :28:31.you can't stand still so for all the success and disappointments, there

:28:32. > :28:36.is always room for improvement or a medal, of any colour, could be

:28:37. > :28:40.further away than ever. I think it's very good to have ambition and I

:28:41. > :28:44.hope we come back with a sack full of medals from Rio but it will be

:28:45. > :28:50.tougher. We shouldn't be coy or naive about it. Athletics is never

:28:51. > :28:54.going to bring you 12 medals - it's not like that - but I could still

:28:55. > :28:58.see two or three gold medals and four or five others and maybe even

:28:59. > :29:07.slightly improving on what we did in London. So many people have just

:29:08. > :29:12.stepped up to the plate at 18, 19, 20 years of age. There are a lot of

:29:13. > :29:21.swimmers who, in two years' time, will be in their prime, and if not,

:29:22. > :29:28.will be for the Olympics afterwards. He beats the world record. Wow! From

:29:29. > :29:32.2007 to 2012, it can't be the same again. It needs to be something new

:29:33. > :29:36.and they are still trying to work out what that is. They've got some

:29:37. > :29:38.of the right ingredients but they haven't got the strong leader in

:29:39. > :29:48.place to make the decisive decisions. Gold in Glasgow for this

:29:49. > :29:53.rider. Now we are getting a lot more specialist and we have. You have

:29:54. > :29:56.names like Louis Smith who you would always associate with polo horse and

:29:57. > :30:02.now we have Louis Smith on six pieces of upper rotters. We've got a

:30:03. > :30:12.shout on every piece. -- of apparatus. So, where does that leave

:30:13. > :30:16.us? UK Sport have been very public about their goal to be the first

:30:17. > :30:22.country to win more Olympic medals at the games after hosting and that,

:30:23. > :30:31.by any measure, comes under the heading of ambitious.

:30:32. > :30:39.Some wonderful moments from Glasgow 2014 but that surely is the big test

:30:40. > :30:42.- it's all very well saying we're successful right now right across

:30:43. > :30:47.the board and all the sports, but the big test must surely be Rio

:30:48. > :30:57.2016. One of the sports in which we're doing very well at, as Matt

:30:58. > :31:02.pointed out, is diving. They are Commonwealth gold medallists Jack

:31:03. > :31:09.Laugher and Chris Mears. They are rising to the occasion. Yes, come

:31:10. > :31:19.on! I think that's going to be good enough. Good diving, Oliver Dingley.

:31:20. > :31:24.Definitely a silver for Jack. Yes, come on! That is definitely good

:31:25. > :31:29.enough. A diving masterclass from this young English man. There is

:31:30. > :31:36.your Commonwealth champion. They've absolutely smashed it.

:31:37. > :31:39.Tom Daley already has a silver in the bag in

:31:40. > :31:41.the men's 10m synchronised platform and is the defending champion

:31:42. > :31:49.All 11 divers will progress to the final.

:31:50. > :31:51.The preliminary round is used simply to determine ranking and therefore

:31:52. > :32:05.This is Tom's final dive. He scored an overall personal best

:32:06. > :32:08.of 577.20 in June and outscored the Chinese in their own backyard on

:32:09. > :32:13.And this is now live on BBC Three - James Denny and Matthew Dixon

:32:14. > :32:23.The final Tonight - can Tom Daley retain the title he won in Delhi.

:32:24. > :32:33.I still get terrified every single time. Ten metres is a long way down.

:32:34. > :32:39.You know you are going to get the water at 34 mph. You cannot think

:32:40. > :32:47.about the things that can happen, all about confronting fear. Peak

:32:48. > :32:53.physical condition is not enough. You have to gain mental strength,

:32:54. > :33:03.you only game that when things go wrong. You keep pushing through, you

:33:04. > :33:13.don't hear any noise, you hear your feet on the board, nothing else.

:33:14. > :33:24.In life, sometimes you need fear, so that you can face it.

:33:25. > :33:43.Every single time I'd dive, I feel completely alive.

:33:44. > :33:54.Good luck to Tom tonight in the individual platform final at 7:35

:33:55. > :33:59.p.m.. Let's go to Glasgow Green, exciting in the hockey, Australia's

:34:00. > :34:06.men have never failed to win the Commonwealth title, scoring 22 goals

:34:07. > :34:11.in the pool stages. England boasting the top scorer, Ashley Jackson. It

:34:12. > :34:18.is New Zealand against India in the other semifinal. Let's show you the

:34:19. > :34:23.best of the action from England and Australia.

:34:24. > :34:32.The first penalty corner of the game, Australia getting ready to

:34:33. > :34:40.pounce. Finding the back. What a start for Australia, Tristan White

:34:41. > :34:51.putting Australia 1-0 in front. George Pinner looking sorry for

:34:52. > :35:02.himself. Fox. Letting go. Reverse shot, it is in, 2-0. Ashley Jackson

:35:03. > :35:07.on the left for England, the leading scorer in the tournament with seven,

:35:08. > :35:20.can he add to his tally, England looked strong, it is in. England

:35:21. > :35:32.have a goal, back in the match. Condon's goal. Goal, 3-1 Australia.

:35:33. > :35:41.England are checking this one. They want to use their referral. They

:35:42. > :35:51.think the runner blocks him out. It is an umpire's referral. Definitely

:35:52. > :36:01.stopping outside the circle? Did not look like it. Nothing blocking that

:36:02. > :36:05.all or the target of the ball. I don't

:36:06. > :36:13.this has bounced kindly for Australia, open goal, scored.

:36:14. > :36:25.Australia finish it off, 4-1 in front. The simplest of finishes.

:36:26. > :36:35.Australia have demolished England. 4-1.

:36:36. > :36:39.Australia have been terrific. That means England have lost, competing

:36:40. > :36:48.for the bronze medal starting at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. On our

:36:49. > :36:54.website right now, it is live men's hockey, the second semifinal, New

:36:55. > :37:05.Zealand taking on India. Dean cousins saying -- Dean Cousins

:37:06. > :37:11.saying they are in a good place. I want to take you to the live

:37:12. > :37:16.netball, on the red button, Jamaica against Australia, Jamaica looking

:37:17. > :37:21.in imperious form so far. They have lost the bronze medal match in the

:37:22. > :37:29.last two games, they are within eight points New Zealand. What we

:37:30. > :37:36.are going to do right now, take you back to the table tennis. We have

:37:37. > :37:42.already seen one terrific match. It is the Mixed Doubles bronze medal

:37:43. > :37:52.match. That is happening right now, getting ready. Kelly Sibley and

:37:53. > :37:58.Danny Reed facing the favourites, who suffered a shock defeat to Liam

:37:59. > :38:05.Pitchford and Tin-Tin Ho. As you have seen earlier Zhan Jian only

:38:06. > :38:13.just finishing his match, they have let them have a few more minutes

:38:14. > :38:23.preparation time. Over to your commentator, Kevin Marshall.

:38:24. > :38:39.Danny Reed is 23 years of age, two silver medals, the team event here a

:38:40. > :38:47.pew days ago, and also in Delhi. -- a few days ago. Here is how they

:38:48. > :38:56.have come through, a couple of tough matches coming through. 3-2 against

:38:57. > :39:20.the Indian team. Losing to their team-mates in a tight one. The gold

:39:21. > :39:43.medallist already in the singles Zhan Jian. That was a big upset,

:39:44. > :39:55.when they lost to Liam Pitchford and Tin-Tin Ho. I am Karen Pratt, Ian

:39:56. > :40:01.Marshall alongside me. The rankings does not count for a lot out here.

:40:02. > :40:11.Tin-Tin Ho and Liam Pitchford proving that. Quite incredible, that

:40:12. > :40:23.semifinal. That was against all possible odds. If you had said to me

:40:24. > :40:28.before that semifinal, they have been 100-1, they created a

:40:29. > :40:35.sensation. For Danny Reed and Kelly Sibley, have they picked the worst

:40:36. > :40:48.time possible to play Feng Tianwei and Zhan Jian. Feng Tianwei winning

:40:49. > :40:59.the women's event since, and Xan Sheeran getting through to the

:41:00. > :41:03.final. -- Zhan Jian. They have won so much over so many events, both

:41:04. > :41:52.players from Singapore having an incredibly heavy schedule.

:41:53. > :42:07.When you are talking about the heavy schedule, there must be some

:42:08. > :42:27.fatigue. They were mentioning that yesterday. San Zhan Jian said he is

:42:28. > :42:32.so tired, he got through in a very close one yesterday, he is bouncing

:42:33. > :42:46.around like a young man out there today. 32 years of age. Danny Reed

:42:47. > :42:49.developed quite late, 17-20. As a younger player, not that strong, but

:42:50. > :43:16.coming through rather later. Danny is a psychology student at

:43:17. > :43:22.Sheffield Hallam University. It is quite noticeable that if you look to

:43:23. > :43:28.the European Youth Championship, those players winning the cadet

:43:29. > :43:38.category, over 50% don't go one to be in good seniors. The Singapore

:43:39. > :43:54.team take the opening game. Some good play.

:43:55. > :44:01.The coach giving the advice, no doubt he will be in courage in both

:44:02. > :44:10.of them to spin the fast ball in the rally. Feng Tianwei has a very

:44:11. > :44:19.powerful forehand, and Zhan Jian puts the ball over very fast on a

:44:20. > :44:25.lower trajectory. They may encourage him to take the serve on the back

:44:26. > :44:28.and so he can spin it. Continuing the point about young players in

:44:29. > :44:35.Europe, Danny Reed coming through rather later, if you go back to the

:44:36. > :44:42.European Youth Championship, the juniors, many go want to senior

:44:43. > :44:51.level, but the under 15s, many don't. The England coach play for

:44:52. > :45:24.England as a senior before he did as a junior.

:45:25. > :45:36.against them much higher ranked opponents. For Kelly Sibley, the

:45:37. > :45:43.quest for a medal. She just missed out at the last Commonwealth Games

:45:44. > :45:44.in Delhi. They played off for the bronze medal and she lost the

:45:45. > :46:17.decisive singles match. Absolutely top-class play from Gao

:46:18. > :46:59.Ning. Sorry, Gao Ning has gone home! We'll try Zhan Jian.

:47:00. > :47:45.A bit of luck for Kelly Sibley, the national champion here in England.

:47:46. > :47:54.One of her favourite quotes is one of Martina Navratilova's. "Whoever

:47:55. > :48:01.said it isn't whether you win or lose that counts probably lost". She

:48:02. > :48:06.wants to win today. She wants to get a Commonwealth Games medal. Two

:48:07. > :48:15.opportunities in this match and then the women's double runs play-offs

:48:16. > :48:23.later. -- bronze play-offs. Very quick, Danny Reed.

:48:24. > :48:33.A very clever return of serve and in doubles, as in any table tennis

:48:34. > :48:40.match, the serve is vital and that was the difference yesterday in the

:48:41. > :48:41.semifinal when Tin-Tin Ho especially was quite incredible alongside Liam

:48:42. > :48:57.Pitchford. Sibley gets it on the table. Almost

:48:58. > :49:05.hit the roof before it landed! The crowd like that one! I think that

:49:06. > :49:07.Feng Tianwei was just so surprised. A very awkward shot for her in the

:49:08. > :49:45.end. She needed a step ladder! A good return from Kelly Sibley.

:49:46. > :49:50.It's good to see, from an English point of view, that she's looking to

:49:51. > :49:59.try to attack the service, try to top spin the service.

:50:00. > :50:07.A good service. Kept it short, lots of backspin. Easier said than done.

:50:08. > :50:10.You will tell the player to keep the service short but when it gets

:50:11. > :50:17.close, it's very, very difficult to do.

:50:18. > :50:25.A good first top spin there from Zhan Jian.

:50:26. > :50:38.A time-out has been called. This is very much a trademark, to call this

:50:39. > :50:46.time-out early and not leave it to another game. I think it's a very

:50:47. > :50:52.shrewd move indeed. That's advice from Nicky Jarvis, former England

:50:53. > :50:56.number one - and maybe you will know his son Matthew Jarvis who plays for

:50:57. > :51:00.West Ham United - but Nicky Jarvis had to stop playing and gave me one

:51:01. > :51:04.of the worst moments of my life when he was practising before a match and

:51:05. > :51:09.slipped with his right foot and hurt his back. We had to lie him down.

:51:10. > :51:15.This was in Reading and his wife had to come from near Middlesbrough,

:51:16. > :51:21.Guisborough, a four hour journey, lay him down in an estate car and

:51:22. > :51:25.take him phone. -- home. I will never forget that as long as I. It's

:51:26. > :51:27.great to see him now working as a coach. Very knowledgeable man, very

:51:28. > :51:35.caring man, very wise. The England pair have two game

:51:36. > :51:57.points. There we are. Kelly Sibley's family

:51:58. > :52:22.have followed her around the They take the second game. Kelly

:52:23. > :52:28.Sibley and Danny Reed are coming through. Something like eight times

:52:29. > :52:32.the Leamington spa women's single champion she has one and she hoped

:52:33. > :52:35.maybe one day her daughter would play one match for England. Of

:52:36. > :52:41.course she's played many more but I know that more than anything, her

:52:42. > :52:47.parents want her to win a medal at the Commonwealth Games. She's never

:52:48. > :52:50.won one yet but has never done it. The colour doesn't matter - just one

:52:51. > :52:55.medal from the Commonwealth Games is all the family wants. And you can

:52:56. > :53:07.see they're how much it means. if there is justice in this world,

:53:08. > :53:10.is to deserve a medal of some colour. They are the most honest way

:53:11. > :53:19.as you could ever meet. The lights still go out in training, they will

:53:20. > :53:34.still be practising. I take my hat off to Danny Reed and Kelly Sibley.

:53:35. > :53:42.One game ball, playing for the bronze medal in the mixed doubles.

:53:43. > :54:15.A good service but from both players, the attitude is right.

:54:16. > :54:17.Short service. From the receiver, try to top spin the service if you

:54:18. > :55:11.can. Another excellent return from Danny

:55:12. > :55:14.Reed. Winning that close second game will certainly give the English pair

:55:15. > :55:31.an injection of self belief. I think the self belief and

:55:32. > :55:47.confidence has been evident from all the members of the England team.

:55:48. > :55:51.Certainly in this tournament, speaking to the coaches and members

:55:52. > :55:58.of the England team, I've detected the best spirit I've seen for a long

:55:59. > :56:06.long time. All for one and one for all, was it? Certainly seems that

:56:07. > :56:13.way. That's why it was so tough for them to play the Drinkhalls. That is

:56:14. > :56:14.a great rhythm. Showing a lot of passion and converting it into

:56:15. > :56:46.points. A very, clever return from Zhan

:56:47. > :56:51.Jian, playing beforehand thick across the diagonal. It takes great

:56:52. > :57:18.skill. A tremendous return. That's the

:57:19. > :57:23.modern day technique, the forearm vertical and excessive use of the

:57:24. > :57:27.rest and, of course, the target must be at the peak of the bounce. --

:57:28. > :57:42.excessive use of the wrist. That is the head coach of the

:57:43. > :58:22.women's team in Singapore. Determined play. Sanding solid,

:58:23. > :58:27.Danny Reed and Kelly Sibley. That is the wife of the chair of the

:58:28. > :58:28.Commonwealth table tennis Federation. Four game points for the

:58:29. > :58:54.English team. And there it is, the third game

:58:55. > :59:03.going the way of Danny Reed and Kelly Sibley, 11-7. The English pair

:59:04. > :59:09.go to a 2-1 lead in terms of games. There was a case in point. Feng

:59:10. > :59:13.Tianwei is number four in the world, one of the best players on

:59:14. > :59:17.planet Earth, and when the pressure mounted she could not keep the

:59:18. > :59:21.service short. Kelly Sibley could top spin the service and it won the

:59:22. > :59:35.point. That just shows how pressure tells. We said at the start that on

:59:36. > :59:38.paper the rankings favoured the Singaporeans ridiculously but you

:59:39. > :59:47.can tear the paper up when it comes to situations like this. You wonder,

:59:48. > :59:50.do doubts come in the mind of Zhan Jian and Feng Tianwei? Are they

:59:51. > :59:55.thinking back to yesterday, to a loss to England? The Singaporeans

:59:56. > :59:59.have been saying all tournament that they have practised mixed doubles

:00:00. > :00:04.but the English outfit and for me, that is a strange comment. The mixed

:00:05. > :00:05.doubles is one medal, the men's singles is one medal, so they're

:00:06. > :00:10.both valuable. Top seeds down 2-1. This matches for

:00:11. > :00:54.the bronze medal. the serve short, it needs to bounce

:00:55. > :01:02.near the net on your side of the table.

:01:03. > :01:13.Interesting point about the Singapore coaches saying they are

:01:14. > :01:16.not practising Mixed Doubles. They are saying the English are good at

:01:17. > :01:23.this because they have worked on the combinations. It is evident

:01:24. > :01:30.this because they have worked on the they have. When you look at the

:01:31. > :01:42.rankings at the players out there, San Jan -- Zang Jan is third in the

:01:43. > :01:50.world, Feng Tianwei is fourth. The English players are outside the top

:01:51. > :02:03.50. The numbers game is 100% in the favour of Singapore. You have three

:02:04. > :02:25.doubles events, and two singles, so practised the doubles. If England

:02:26. > :02:37.have done that, well done to them. England with the 2-1 lead in this

:02:38. > :02:45.best-of-5 contest. Nice touch. A clever return, Feng Tianwei making

:02:46. > :02:50.the odd mistake on the top-spin forehand, that is her strength. If

:02:51. > :02:52.that starts to flow, the balance will go back in the favour of

:02:53. > :03:12.Singapore. A time-out called, with the English

:03:13. > :04:00.pair leading 2-1, and 5-4 in the fourth.

:04:01. > :04:10.Difficult times for Zhan Jian and Feng Tianwei. Team Singapore and

:04:11. > :04:39.looking on, looking a bit gloomy. Looking a little bit tense. A good

:04:40. > :04:49.return by Danny Reed, a good riposte, credit to Singapore.

:04:50. > :04:58.These are very tense times, particularly for the players from

:04:59. > :05:03.Singapore. They are tense times, in the words of one of England's

:05:04. > :05:10.greatest players, Desmond Douglas, the policy from England must be to

:05:11. > :05:21.try and get the Singaporeans quiet. That means not letting them play

:05:22. > :05:37.those forehands. You will be keeping him quiet! Hey, Mr Tambourine Man.

:05:38. > :05:57.So far the call has proved fruitful. That is brilliant from Sibley. That

:05:58. > :06:07.is when she is at her best. Meeting the board early. Coming back to

:06:08. > :06:15.within one point of Zhan Jian and Feng Tianwei.

:06:16. > :06:28.These service drifting long. Great credit to Kelly Sibley, the strength

:06:29. > :06:38.of hers, spinning the ball on the forehand, she did that perfectly.

:06:39. > :06:45.And again terrific play Danny Reed and Kelly Sibley, they are within

:06:46. > :07:05.two points of the bronze medal. They just have to keep that

:07:06. > :07:13.adrenaline under control. Very excited on that point. Back to 9-9.

:07:14. > :07:18.From both players point of view, they have two look to win the

:07:19. > :07:29.point, the pair that is the first to attack will win this crucial game.

:07:30. > :07:32.Danny Reed taking that advice. Match points, bronze medal points for

:07:33. > :07:36.Danny Reed and Kelly Sibley. points, bronze medal points for

:07:37. > :08:14.Danny Reed and Kelly Two point margin to win it. What a

:08:15. > :08:16.shot from Sibley! This is what she has worked for, trained for. These

:08:17. > :08:53.moments. Second match point. Sibley does it! Brilliant finish

:08:54. > :09:03.from Sibley and Danny Reed. They were fearless. Kelly Sibley, the

:09:04. > :09:11.tears coming into arise. Finally she has a Commonwealth Games medal, the

:09:12. > :09:21.bronze alongside Danny Reed. -- into her eyes. It will be a clean sweep

:09:22. > :09:26.for England in the Mixed Doubles. Absolutely fantastic to see that, it

:09:27. > :09:34.could not happen to two better young people. For their parents, what a

:09:35. > :09:41.fantastic moment. Unbelievable. They have beaten the top seeds, first of

:09:42. > :09:48.all beaten by Liam Pitchford and Tin-Tin Ho, now Danny Reed and Kelly

:09:49. > :09:54.Sibley. Maybe they will go home and work on the Mixed Doubles. It is one

:09:55. > :10:02.medal. It is three! Whatever, it's all counts. That time-out in the

:10:03. > :10:12.second game, that could have swung the match. Tears of joy out here.

:10:13. > :10:19.Exciting times. For all being this team. Danny Reed and Kelly Sibley

:10:20. > :10:27.playing above themselves out there, combining superbly, how playing

:10:28. > :10:33.their higher ranked opponents. Great that they can share that moment with

:10:34. > :10:38.family and friends. What an achievement for the English table

:10:39. > :10:43.tennis team. It will be gold silver and bronze in the Mixed Doubles for

:10:44. > :10:53.England. Just a matter of which are being used teams will take the gold.

:10:54. > :11:01.-- which of the English teams. This is Kelly Sibley and Danny Reed's

:11:02. > :11:07.moment. The arena is rocking. Everybody is on their feet, a moment

:11:08. > :11:12.of tremendous emotion. Fantastic, Danny Reed and Kelly Sibley will

:11:13. > :11:22.never forget the moment they beat the top seeds, Feng Tianwei and Zhan

:11:23. > :11:31.Jian, a world-class pair. She could have won a medal for the high jump.

:11:32. > :11:39.Kelly, you have your Commonwealth medal at the third attempt, how do

:11:40. > :11:44.you feel? Absolutely fantastic, cannot quite put it into words. All

:11:45. > :11:51.credit to us, I thought we played fantastic. Cannot believe it, bronze

:11:52. > :11:55.medal. Another medal to add to your collection, fantastic victory? A

:11:56. > :12:01.dream come true, to come back from losing the semifinal, to give

:12:02. > :12:06.England a one, two, three, great for England, fantastic to play for

:12:07. > :12:12.England. Some great shots from Kelly Eddie N. They were the top seeds,

:12:13. > :12:17.did you go there with no pressure, nothing to lose apart from the

:12:18. > :12:23.match? We had nothing to lose. We decided we did really well to get to

:12:24. > :12:27.the bronze medal play-off. We knew that the pressure was on them, we

:12:28. > :12:33.would have the crowd behind us. We thought we would stand a chance.

:12:34. > :12:39.Will you now settle in to watch the final? Whoever wins, great, we have

:12:40. > :12:44.a few more matches. Great for English table tennis, thanks for

:12:45. > :12:51.everyone at home. I will not ask you who you think will win!

:12:52. > :12:56.Many congratulations, especially to Kelly, her first Commonwealth medal.

:12:57. > :13:05.We will bring you the gold match later on. We will switch to boxing.

:13:06. > :13:08.13 gold medals to be won today in a new venue.

:13:09. > :13:15.The ring has been moved from the SECC to the Hydro.

:13:16. > :13:27.And there's a very special guest alongside John Inverdale.

:13:28. > :13:44.We are in this fantastic arena, instead of Beth Weddle, there is me

:13:45. > :13:48.and an air Khan. -- and Amir Khan. This is amazing venue, it would be

:13:49. > :13:54.great for a professional fight. It will be electric out here. We have a

:13:55. > :13:58.couple of Scottish fighters, the place will go wild. When you look at

:13:59. > :14:07.the running order, what fights catch your eye? We have Kes Ashfaq, a good

:14:08. > :14:14.friend of mine, one of the favourites. Josh Taylor, the

:14:15. > :14:19.Scottish kid, looking really good in his last fight, beating Sam Maxwell.

:14:20. > :14:26.We have four Northern Ireland fighters, a lot of attention on

:14:27. > :14:31.Paddy Barnes and Michael Conlon, winning that disputed contests on a

:14:32. > :14:40.cut. His face was a real mess. How worried will he be? It was a very

:14:41. > :14:49.deep cut. He will have a team making sure it has healed. Has he had the

:14:50. > :14:55.time? We don't know. He will have to keep that guard up. I'm sure he will

:14:56. > :14:59.be fine, he knows he has one more fight, then he will have a break. It

:15:00. > :15:08.is the final of the Commonwealth Games. We start with Nicola Adams,

:15:09. > :15:14.box office with a B. Everyone loves Nicola, a great fighter. With the

:15:15. > :15:22.Olympic medal, being the first ever British Olympian in women's boxing.

:15:23. > :15:28.Chic" medals with the Commonwealth Games. She has the experience, I

:15:29. > :15:32.have seen her in the training camp in Sheffield, looking really good.

:15:33. > :15:38.She has been performing really well, it always looks like she's in

:15:39. > :15:44.second year in their fights. I lean towards her in this fight. We are

:15:45. > :15:48.back for that Nicola Adams against Michaela Walsh, at two o'clock, we

:15:49. > :15:55.have some outstanding entertainment in a wonderful arena for boxing.

:15:56. > :16:01.You're right, John. An Khan very sharp! Olympic champion Nicola Adams

:16:02. > :16:04.fights Michaela Walsh of Northern Ireland for the right to become the

:16:05. > :16:09.first female Commonwealth boxing champ in, followed by the men's

:16:10. > :16:14.light flyweight final. Can Paddy Barnes of Northern Ireland do it? He

:16:15. > :16:22.defends his title against event Rola Shrum. That's followed by Mohammed

:16:23. > :16:30.Kassim facing Andrew Moloney. Michael Conlon of Northern Ireland

:16:31. > :16:34.had a semifinal clash with a Welsh opponent and he faces cage at that.

:16:35. > :17:00.-- Wace Later this evening, Savannah

:17:01. > :17:08.Marshall takes on Ariane Fortin in the middleweight final. Scott

:17:09. > :17:11.Fitzgerald has only been on the squad since January and it is his

:17:12. > :17:19.first real competition so he says being here is unreal, never mind

:17:20. > :17:23.being in the final. Back now to the men's hockey and,

:17:24. > :17:27.sadly, England were beaten by Australia 4-1 at Glasgow Green

:17:28. > :17:32.earlier so it's now a bronze medal match for them at ten o'clock at the

:17:33. > :17:37.national hockey centre tomorrow. New Zealand and India are currently

:17:38. > :17:42.playing a cracking game at Glasgow Green. New Zealand Word 2-0 up. It's

:17:43. > :17:47.now three high and two to India. That's available on the website. --

:17:48. > :17:59.is re-2 to India. Men's and women's singles action

:18:00. > :18:06.already today in the badminton. If you fancy a bit of netball, this is

:18:07. > :18:11.a terrific game. What drama inside the SEC earlier today. England

:18:12. > :18:18.suffering a defeat but England at like they are heading for the final

:18:19. > :18:25.at the moment. Heartbreaking in the dying seconds for New Zealand. They

:18:26. > :18:38.remain in the hunch of a hat-trick of Commonwealth golds. England need

:18:39. > :18:44.to bounce back. In the diving, the preliminaries of the men's tenm

:18:45. > :18:50.platform. Tom Daley, the defending champion, topped the standings again

:18:51. > :18:55.this lunch time. This is his fourth dive and his best. Very impressive

:18:56. > :19:00.from Tom Daley of England. He is finishing top of the tree. Nobody is

:19:01. > :19:02.eliminated at this stage. It is just a case of deciding the diving order

:19:03. > :19:15.for later this evening. Great stuff from Tom Daley and just

:19:16. > :19:19.to remind you, around 7:35pm tonight is the final and we will bring you

:19:20. > :19:23.all the live coverage from the Royal Commonwealth Pool. It's the mixed

:19:24. > :19:28.doubles gold medal match. We've just seen a cracking bronze medal match

:19:29. > :19:35.Mas will this match live up to the height? -- the hype. David McDaid

:19:36. > :19:43.has been talking to the Chief Executive of Table Tennis England.

:19:44. > :19:47.Put into context how big a day for English table ten of this is. To

:19:48. > :19:54.have so many players laying in the mixed doubles is fantastic. --

:19:55. > :19:58.English table tennis. Where are England in terms of the global game?

:19:59. > :20:02.In the ascendancy, certainly in the men's game. They won the second

:20:03. > :20:10.division in them World Championships. They've come here and

:20:11. > :20:16.are performing very well. It really feels like there is momentum now. If

:20:17. > :20:22.you had to put your finger on it, what has brought about this rise in

:20:23. > :20:26.the rankings? There are a lot of changes that have been made in table

:20:27. > :20:34.tennis. We have new management and a new culture. Liam and Paul playing

:20:35. > :20:37.in professional clubs and leagues and having a very high standard of

:20:38. > :20:43.game week in week out makes a difference. The quietly at all in

:20:44. > :20:47.the men's game but Young Tin-Tin Ho is only 50 metres guaranteed a

:20:48. > :20:52.common while silver medal. What type of talented she? A very good talent

:20:53. > :20:58.but also the product of a very good athlete and dedicated. She really

:20:59. > :21:07.put in the hours. She shows her potential. Yesterday she was taken

:21:08. > :21:17.on the world before and matching her point for point. It was fantastic to

:21:18. > :21:21.see. Gold and silver guaranteed. How do you support it? You can't cheer

:21:22. > :21:26.for either. When it comes to the final, it is a great problem to

:21:27. > :21:31.have! English table tennis on a real high.

:21:32. > :21:33.We've just seen the mixed doubles bronze medal match with England's

:21:34. > :21:39.Kelly Sibley and Danny Weed willing. -- Danny Read winning.

:21:40. > :21:46.England are guaranteed both gold and silver in this one. The husband and

:21:47. > :21:50.wife team of Paul and Joanna Drinkhall and their England

:21:51. > :22:00.team-mate of Liam Pitchford and Tin-Tin Ho. Her dad gave her the

:22:01. > :22:01.initials TT for table tennis and her brother is called Ping, as in

:22:02. > :22:14.ping-pong. COMMENTATOR: This is maybe the

:22:15. > :22:19.biggest injection that English table tennis has had for decades.

:22:20. > :22:28.Looking back to London 2012, it was a magical Saturday in athletics when

:22:29. > :22:36.Great Britain came back and won medal after medal. Two days ago, it

:22:37. > :22:43.was the same scenario for England here in Scotstoun.

:22:44. > :23:03.The Drinkhalls with the marginal lead.

:23:04. > :23:14.One of the great strengths of the publisher Bob Liam Pitchford and

:23:15. > :23:20.home Tintin -- Tin-Tin Ho has been Tin-Tin Ho's return service. Quite

:23:21. > :23:48.remarkable. 15 years old, the Princess from Paddington.

:23:49. > :24:01.then. The Drinkhalls taking the first game 11-7. They go to their

:24:02. > :24:06.empty respective corners. Of course, there are pros and cons of this.

:24:07. > :24:10.Paul Drinkhall is the attacking player, Joanna is the defender, so

:24:11. > :24:16.the plus is that there is a wide pariah tea of shots coming over for

:24:17. > :24:21.Pitchford and Ho to deal with. It could, they can be British or that

:24:22. > :24:29.Joanna will not attack so they can play very safely towards her. --

:24:30. > :24:36.they can be pretty sure. Tin-Tin Ho can deal with a variety of spins.

:24:37. > :24:39.It's whether they can take advantage of the offensive skills of Joanna

:24:40. > :24:44.Drinkhall because you can be fairly sure she is not going to be putting

:24:45. > :24:48.in an attack. But she is a very good defender, a very safe, solid

:24:49. > :24:57.defender. Should the ball be high, she can come in and very quickly hit

:24:58. > :25:03.it. That was her wrongdoing against Naomi Owen, losing 4-1 in the

:25:04. > :25:35.women's singles. A little bit same issue.

:25:36. > :25:43.quite unique in modern table tennis. The pen whole group in the

:25:44. > :25:46.women's game has virtually been phased out completely. -- pen hold

:25:47. > :26:04.grip. There is Nicky Jarvis, who must be a

:26:05. > :26:10.delighted coach. The last pen holder to be the women's singles champion

:26:11. > :26:14.was in 1993 in Gothenberg. The group that Tin-Tin Ho uses has faded out

:26:15. > :26:18.since then, especially the serve with this back and style. That was

:26:19. > :26:23.once favoured by Japanese players who rotated the body much more to

:26:24. > :26:27.serve. The only other player I see doing this service now is a young

:26:28. > :26:37.man from Chinese Taipei. Our table tennis go to man Ian

:26:38. > :26:57.Marshall alongside Paul hand taking you through this match.

:26:58. > :27:06.A clever serve from John Drinkhall. She knows Tin-Tin Ho is going to try

:27:07. > :27:08.to move out to use the reverse topspin to return service so she

:27:09. > :27:14.served a very wide. Alan Cooke must be delighted with

:27:15. > :27:30.the efforts of these young players. And Alan Cooke is a player who

:27:31. > :27:36.played for England as a senior before he ever played as a junior

:27:37. > :27:44.and he came through rather later and became a top-class senior player in

:27:45. > :27:47.1989 before table tennis was in the Commonwealth Games. He won the men's

:27:48. > :27:54.singles in the Commonwealth Championships in Cardiff. Great

:27:55. > :28:04.knowledge. It was an optional sport and started in 2002. This is the

:28:05. > :28:08.fourth edition of it. The Drinkhalls with a .48 2-0 lead in

:28:09. > :28:12.this race against the gold medal match.

:28:13. > :28:19.Joe Drinkhall doing so well. -- Jo Drinkhall. She still managed to get

:28:20. > :28:36.a winner. Well watched. Great focus from Joanna Drinkhall.

:28:37. > :28:44.The variety of spin that is coming from Joanna and from Paul is causing

:28:45. > :28:49.the problems and they are certainly looking very well in control. For

:28:50. > :28:57.Joanna Drinkhall, the task is to keep defending, tried to encourage

:28:58. > :29:01.either Liam or Tin-Tin Ho to return negatively, then Paul can attack

:29:02. > :29:05.very quickly with his powerful forehand. I suspect now for Liam and

:29:06. > :29:11.Tin-Tin Ho, they have to take some risks. It's so tough for them to

:29:12. > :29:15.play against the players like the Drinkhalls because of the

:29:16. > :29:22.extraordinary heavy stick slide stream from Joe and the heavy top

:29:23. > :29:27.stream from Paul. It's difficult to play those extremities on alternate

:29:28. > :29:32.balls. It would be even worse if they were a left-handed and

:29:33. > :29:39.right-handed combination. Tin-Tin Ho to get us under way in the third

:29:40. > :29:45.game, trailing 0-2. Just a mistake from Tin-Tin Ho but from Joanna

:29:46. > :29:50.Drinkhall's point of view, she'll be trying to stop Liam Pitchford

:29:51. > :29:56.playing a strong first attack. It was canny the way that Gao Ning and

:29:57. > :30:02.Zhan Jian managed to get into the body of the tour players in the

:30:03. > :30:04.men's semifinals. Tied Liam Pitchford up. He couldn't release,

:30:05. > :31:00.it was all just on top of him. Injection of pace. The service was

:31:01. > :31:26.too long. They've apparent return from Paul drinkable. -- -- Drinkall.

:31:27. > :31:31.Oh, yes, three big forehands. He will wait a little bit, if they get

:31:32. > :31:53.to a 3-point gap, I think Pitchford will call the time-out. And it's a

:31:54. > :32:07.bit audacious, the running forehand. Carried on running, like Forrest

:32:08. > :32:21.Gump. That is a new lap record, Usain Bolt arriving in Scottsdale.

:32:22. > :32:26.Pitchford encouraging Tin-Tin Ho to put the ball on the table. Keep it

:32:27. > :32:31.on the table, he can take the chance with the top-spin defence. Liam

:32:32. > :32:44.should be looking for forehand top-spin. Well played, these two.

:32:45. > :32:48.Tin-Tin Ho just keeps putting the ball back on the table, keeping it

:32:49. > :33:12.in play, I am sure that the tactic they are looking for.

:33:13. > :33:34.A terrific turnaround. Liam and Tin-Tin Ho have played very

:33:35. > :33:40.patiently. Broken ball, new ball, hence the small knockout. Play will

:33:41. > :34:26.continue. A rich vein of form. Back-to-back

:34:27. > :34:35.points together, a good run for Pitchford and Ho.

:34:36. > :34:57.There has been a gigantic momentum shift in this game. The

:34:58. > :35:07.seventh-seeded team gaining a little advantage over the fifth seeds. They

:35:08. > :35:19.are back in it, trailing 1-2 in this race to three in this Mixed Doubles

:35:20. > :35:59.final. Of course, the order changes now, Tin-Tin Ho will be playing

:36:00. > :36:07.towards Gia -- -- Joanna Drinkhall. It was a big change. At the start of

:36:08. > :36:22.the game, a two point gap, never getting to three. It was a massive

:36:23. > :36:27.difference. The umpire ready to resume, throwing the ball to Joanna

:36:28. > :36:49.Drinkhall. We will get under way when the music stops. Two thirds of

:36:50. > :36:53.the way towards a gold medal. Just the thought of that makes me tense,

:36:54. > :37:01.these guys are going one ball at the time. The first two points, with

:37:02. > :37:02.respect to Tin-Tin Ho, the returns have been weak. Paul Drinkhall

:37:03. > :38:10.capitalising. from Tin-Tin Ho. These two Chertsey

:38:11. > :38:22.residents, the Drinkhalls are two points adrift in this fourth game.

:38:23. > :38:30.Considering, in my opinion, this is the better order for the

:38:31. > :38:36.Drinkhalls, this is a bit of a surprise.

:38:37. > :38:45.I think the Drinkhalls won the first two points. Yes, they did, suddenly

:38:46. > :38:59.a run of six points. Seven. Perhaps it is the tension of

:39:00. > :39:03.the occasion for the Drinkhalls. Combined with some form at the other

:39:04. > :39:21.end of the table. Better from Paul Drinkhall, the man

:39:22. > :39:25.who won the 2014 Spanish Open. The first Englishman in 30 years to win

:39:26. > :39:51.an international title. Again, momentum shifting back into

:39:52. > :40:15.the favour of the Drinkhalls, the fifth seeds. A rare and forced error

:40:16. > :40:26.by Liam. -- unforced. A raking forehand by Pitchford, the telling

:40:27. > :40:41.blow. That is where Tin-Tin Ho is having problems against the backspin

:40:42. > :40:51.play-off Joanna Drinkhall. That one sat up a bit too high from Tin-Tin,

:40:52. > :40:58.dispatched by Drinkhall. I would suggest that Liam should call a

:40:59. > :41:01.time-out now. He has done just that. Ian Marshall delighted beside me

:41:02. > :41:09.with his fists in the air. He pre-empted it. My point would be,

:41:10. > :41:16.call the time-out when you are ahead, do not call it when it is

:41:17. > :41:27.10-7, and it is panic. It is a must win game. Absolutely. If they win

:41:28. > :41:34.this game, we will be treated to a fifth and deciding game in this

:41:35. > :41:44.best-of-5 game Mixed Doubles final. All English affair. Indeed, an

:41:45. > :41:49.English clean sweep of the medals in this event. The nominal. --

:41:50. > :42:37.phenomenal. Now, in that point Tin-Tin Ho did

:42:38. > :42:44.extremely well against the backspin. She hit with the short

:42:45. > :42:46.pimples on the forehand, that can be effective if you have the skill to

:42:47. > :43:00.do it, she showed high skill levels. Brilliant from Paul Drinkhall. A

:43:01. > :43:23.timely forehand below. Tin-Tin Ho still with game point.

:43:24. > :43:26.Terrific length on the return, just forcing Pitchford's racket against

:43:27. > :43:38.the end of the table, he could not dig it out.

:43:39. > :43:47.Well... If Paul Drinkhall does not win this match, he will be wriggling

:43:48. > :43:57.around in his bed tonight about that forehand. We have it, parity, we

:43:58. > :44:04.will go the distance. A deciding and fifth game we will be treated to.

:44:05. > :44:16.Some tense errors from Paul Drinkhall. There we have the score.

:44:17. > :44:28.The Drinkhalls came racing out, with the first two games, but they have

:44:29. > :44:33.been pegged back. Pitchford is 21, Ho is 15, incredible. They never

:44:34. > :44:44.stop surprising us, semifinal, incredible win. Playing against Paul

:44:45. > :44:51.and Joanna Drinkhall, losing the first two games, coming back to win

:44:52. > :44:58.the next two. Back to that semifinal, changing ends at 5-1, in

:44:59. > :45:17.the fifth game, the order will change when one pair gets to five.

:45:18. > :45:22.It is all about who wants it more now, also about controlling your

:45:23. > :45:58.mind, one ball at a time. Great turnaround for Paul

:45:59. > :46:04.Drinkhall, combining nicely now. Both teams bringing their best,

:46:05. > :46:16.seemingly in this final game. In their quest for the

:46:17. > :46:21.Such a fine line between getting over aroused and under. You've just

:46:22. > :46:36.got to tread that line just right. It all comes down to yourself trust

:46:37. > :46:38.at this stage and how well founded your habits are after all those

:46:39. > :46:54.thousands of hours of practice time. Paul Drinkhall being particularly

:46:55. > :47:05.vocal. Using the psychology and the body language of his team's favour.

:47:06. > :47:15.The break has just settled him down. I think he can just start again and

:47:16. > :47:51.the fearful Liam Pitchford and Tin-Tin Ho is a tightly.

:47:52. > :47:57.One thing is for sure out here - Paul Drinkhall is never going to die

:47:58. > :47:59.wondering. He is going for this flat out, the all out aggressor at the

:48:00. > :48:20.moment. JASON MOHAMMAD: Gripping stuff

:48:21. > :48:23.there. This is where we leave this match and you can switch over to BBC

:48:24. > :48:29.Three for further live coverage of this. BBC Three is where you need to

:48:30. > :48:33.go right now if you want to see the rest of that gold medal match. We

:48:34. > :48:38.are now going to switch our attention to the Hydro, the boxing.

:48:39. > :48:42.The finals are taking place, having been moved from the SEC C. I'm sure

:48:43. > :48:46.it's going to be terrific stuff over at the Hydro. Annie Khan is

:48:47. > :48:52.alongside John Inverdale. Good afternoon. Gripping stuff at the

:48:53. > :48:53.table tennis but I hope we will have some fantastic entertainment in the

:48:54. > :49:04.next three or four hours. Between 300 and 400 people have been

:49:05. > :49:08.working through the night to transform this from a gymnastics

:49:09. > :49:13.arena yesterday to a boxing arena with the ring as the centrepiece. It

:49:14. > :49:20.looks and feels great. Yes, the vibe is great. We're looking at getting

:49:21. > :49:24.around 17,000 people here. For an amateur fight, I think it's great.

:49:25. > :49:32.Some professionals don't get this. It's a huge event and it shows how

:49:33. > :49:35.popular boxing is. Going back to your amateur days, for some of these

:49:36. > :49:38.people this will be the greatest day of their life and they may never

:49:39. > :49:45.find themselves in this situation again. Tell us about the nerves that

:49:46. > :49:47.the atmosphere in the dressing room. You're going to be nervous,

:49:48. > :49:53.especially fighting in front of 70,000 people. You do get nervous,

:49:54. > :49:58.it's the biggest fight. I take every fight as the biggest fight of my

:49:59. > :50:02.life. You want to put on a great performance and get the gold medal.

:50:03. > :50:07.The finals are today. You are thinking about all the hard work

:50:08. > :50:12.you've done and you are nervous but it's good to be nervous. You can

:50:13. > :50:20.hear the countdown kind is because it is very loud here. Boxing does

:50:21. > :50:25.allow very well. What Glasgow is going to bring on in this first bout

:50:26. > :50:28.is Nicola Adams and if Usain Bolt sprinkled stardust at Hampden Park

:50:29. > :50:35.last night, Nicola Adams has that real X factor. Yeah, I just met her

:50:36. > :50:38.in that changing rooms and she's looking very calm and relaxed. I

:50:39. > :50:42.think she can come out here and win a gold medal. It will be a tough

:50:43. > :50:50.fight but I think she's got the tools to do it. There is Michaela

:50:51. > :50:53.Walsh. Huge moment for her. There are four boxers from Northern

:50:54. > :51:00.Ireland competing this afternoon. There she is, walking into the

:51:01. > :51:06.arena. Here the ovation. She is a very confident, feisty competitor.

:51:07. > :51:11.She will know that she comes into this as an underdog against the

:51:12. > :51:16.Olympic champion and somebody who is very conscious of the need to not

:51:17. > :51:23.just box but to be part of the entertainment world. Watching her

:51:24. > :51:26.fight, she's been put on a great performance and I think that with

:51:27. > :51:31.Michaela, she will be up for it and grab it with both hands. She will

:51:32. > :51:38.showcase their skills. Here is the reception for the Olympic champion.

:51:39. > :51:45.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE The woman who, not single-handedly,

:51:46. > :51:50.but has made a considerable impact on her own right in giving women's

:51:51. > :51:55.boxing credibility and she is somebody who is probably the biggest

:51:56. > :52:00.single drawcard in this straw, men or women, this afternoon or this

:52:01. > :52:03.evening. Today we've got seven finals and there will be medal

:52:04. > :52:09.presentations after each of those, and we've got six finals tonight.

:52:10. > :52:14.Four boxers fighting tonight of the home nations and they are all from

:52:15. > :52:19.England. This afternoon, we have competitors from Northern Ireland,

:52:20. > :52:21.England and the last two bouts today feature boxers from Scotland and

:52:22. > :52:26.that will in the afternoon session in style. But here we go with the

:52:27. > :52:32.first of the finals of the 20 14th Commonwealth Games and Richie

:52:33. > :52:37.Woodhall is alongside Ronald McIntosh in the commentary box.

:52:38. > :52:42.COMMENTATOR: Let's pause to hear the official introductions ahead of this

:52:43. > :52:55.first-ever boxing final for women in the Commonwealth Games. Representing

:52:56. > :53:06.Northern Ireland, Michaela Walsh! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:53:07. > :53:12.And in the blue corner, representing England, Nicola Adams MBE.

:53:13. > :53:19.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE The referee for this contest is from

:53:20. > :53:34.Algeria. COMMENTATOR: So the referee brings

:53:35. > :53:40.the two boxers together ahead of this first-ever gold medal bout in

:53:41. > :53:48.Commonwealth Games history for women in the boxing tournament.

:53:49. > :53:57.So here we go. Four two-minute rounds in the 51 kilograms

:53:58. > :54:01.lightweight division. A gold medal at stake and it's being contested

:54:02. > :54:07.between boxers from England and Northern Ireland. The boxer, wearing

:54:08. > :54:13.blue, has got a straight left hand. It's Nicola Adams, the reigning

:54:14. > :54:16.Olympic champion. Her opponent is 20-year-old Michaela Walsh from

:54:17. > :54:26.Northern Ireland, they three-time national Ireland champion. -- a

:54:27. > :54:30.three-time national Irish champion. She is boxing again somebody who has

:54:31. > :54:34.become such an iconic figure in the realm of Olympic style boxing.

:54:35. > :54:40.Michaela Walsh confidently claimed the centre of the ring at the start

:54:41. > :54:44.of the bout. Nicola Adams has caught her a few times on the counter. She

:54:45. > :54:50.just doesn't want to fall over that front foot too much. Nicola is

:54:51. > :54:51.capable of taking that half step back and catching parents she dies

:54:52. > :54:57.in with her head. -- catching her as she dies in. --

:54:58. > :55:20.dives. They are looking for something they

:55:21. > :55:25.can trigger and counter. Using it as a rangefinder at this point in the

:55:26. > :55:31.contest. That final left hand was landed by Adams. On the back foot,

:55:32. > :55:37.her back is skimming the perimeter of the boxing ring.

:55:38. > :55:44.Good use of the jabs by both boxers, both trying to find their range,

:55:45. > :55:54.both happy to counter some good combinations being landed.

:55:55. > :56:02.The bell sounds to bring about the end of the opening round. A

:56:03. > :56:12.competitive affair but perhaps the more eye-catching work coming from

:56:13. > :56:16.the boxer in blue. The rear hand landed quite cleanly by Nicola

:56:17. > :56:23.Adams. She's finishing off those combinations and does so once again

:56:24. > :56:25.with that rear hand over the top. I think Adams, although they do

:56:26. > :56:43.exchange, comes of the better in those combinations, though. Five

:56:44. > :56:45.judges are ringside. The first to get ten. The losing boxer anywhere

:56:46. > :57:00.from six up to nine. We move into the second round with a

:57:01. > :57:05.strong left jab and right over the top from the boxer in blue,

:57:06. > :57:10.England's Nicola Adams MBE, to give her her full title. She has come out

:57:11. > :57:17.and started the second round in a much more brisk fashion man she did

:57:18. > :57:20.the first. Michaela Walsh just looking to find a range but will

:57:21. > :57:27.bouts be deterred from throwing punches although she did get through

:57:28. > :57:30.a couple of left hands. A better rhythm by Adams. She's finding her

:57:31. > :57:38.way into this bout using her head and leg movement. Just triggering

:57:39. > :57:47.off, moving the head, getting inside the range. Approaching the midpoint

:57:48. > :57:51.of this second half. Walsh got her legs in a bit of a tangle but now

:57:52. > :57:55.beyond halfway, she took a straight shot from Adams whilst just

:57:56. > :57:59.switching her feet, attempting to land her right hand, but nothing

:58:00. > :58:05.came in reply from the Olympic champion. The referee allowing the

:58:06. > :58:12.boxers to work away, Adams trying to do so but Walsh content to hold on.

:58:13. > :58:19.She is given a talking to by the referee about holding. Excessive

:58:20. > :58:22.holding will result in a point deduction. We've seen that during

:58:23. > :58:24.the course of this Commonwealth Games

:58:25. > :58:27.the course of this Commonwealth tournament but I don't think Walsh

:58:28. > :58:35.is anywhere near approaching the referee's tolerance limit for that.

:58:36. > :58:39.In the closing seconds, the boxers are exchanging jabs at centre ring

:58:40. > :58:45.but Adams introduces the cleanest straight left. The ten second

:58:46. > :58:53.clapper has sounded here at the Hydro. Once again, and exchange from

:58:54. > :58:57.both boxers to conclude the second round. Walsh returns to the red

:58:58. > :59:02.corner but I suspect she will be on the losing end of that one, having

:59:03. > :59:09.made a very brisk start to the second round. Adams had the better

:59:10. > :59:13.of the exchanges that ensued. She caught Adams with a couple of nice

:59:14. > :59:18.clean shots just on the bell but as you say, Ronald, Adams with that

:59:19. > :59:19.straight you say, Ronald, Adams with that

:59:20. > :59:26.hand edged the more eye-catching exchanges.

:59:27. > :59:27.We'll be able to bring you the scores after the conclusion of the

:59:28. > :59:40.opening round when we receive them. Just a little bit of a problem

:59:41. > :59:45.bringing you the scores but from my point of view, it is Mikel Adams who

:59:46. > :59:48.has taken the opening two rounds but there are three judges seated at

:59:49. > :59:57.ringside whose scores all count and they all have different viewing

:59:58. > :00:03.points. Nicola Adams, wearing blue, representing England, has Juan Mata

:00:04. > :00:12.or so many medals in competitions around the world. -- has won so many

:00:13. > :00:17.medals. An untidy tumble to the canvas for both boxers. She has got

:00:18. > :00:21.numerous national and British titles. She's 31 years of age now.

:00:22. > :00:27.Michaela Walsh an athlete at the opposite end of the experience

:00:28. > :00:31.spectrum, just 20 years of age, and she has experienced international

:00:32. > :00:38.success at the youth level. She won youth bronze in 2010. Walsh is not

:00:39. > :00:42.making it easy for Adams in this round. She's leading off very well,

:00:43. > :00:47.causing Adams to miss, and has caught her on the counter a few

:00:48. > :01:02.times. A good performance by Walsh. She falls in slightly. both boxers

:01:03. > :01:08.operating over that logo in the centre of the ring, pretty untidy.

:01:09. > :01:15.Another left hand. Adams switching momentarily to southpaw. Walsh using

:01:16. > :01:24.her legs to get away from that onslaught from Adams. At distance.

:01:25. > :01:30.Exchange of jabs. If it is an exchange of more than one shot, she

:01:31. > :01:40.is generally going first and third, Adams. Usually stepping in with a

:01:41. > :01:49.long left. That forward foray was evaded neatly by Adams. A lot of

:01:50. > :01:56.flailing shots. The boxers exchanging misses to end the third

:01:57. > :02:06.round. Again, Nicola Adams catching the eye with her work. Walsh had

:02:07. > :02:15.some success as a European junior silver medallist back in 2008.

:02:16. > :02:23.Adams' coach was coach of the year in 2012-13. Catching her with the

:02:24. > :02:32.right, one of the only clean shots in that round. A lot of clenching.

:02:33. > :02:36.Not a lot of work on the inside. Both of these boxers are counter

:02:37. > :02:43.boxers, waiting to find the gaps on the counter. One expects that the

:02:44. > :02:49.sense of urgency will be greater in that red corner as they rise in

:02:50. > :02:59.expectation of the fourth and final round. Into round four of the 51

:03:00. > :03:08.kilograms flyweight final. Nicola Adams wearing blue, up on her toes.

:03:09. > :03:12.On the back foot. Nicola Walsh hammering away with shots to the

:03:13. > :03:20.body. As they work at" is. 30 seconds gone, Walsh on the front

:03:21. > :03:28.foot. Nicola Adams comfortably in head, happy to keep beyond range.

:03:29. > :03:37.Away from the aggressive intent of Michaela Walsh. Walsh commanding the

:03:38. > :03:42.centre of the ring, right-hand attempt going over Walsh's shoulder.

:03:43. > :03:48.Adams operating out of the orthodox stance. Walsh up on her toes,

:03:49. > :03:56.looking for something through the middle, good shots. Adams tying her

:03:57. > :03:58.opponent up. Giving her a couple of left hands, referee giving her a

:03:59. > :04:04.couple of left-handers, referee giving him a talking to. Inside the

:04:05. > :04:09.final minute. Walsh has two up the tempo to make any impression on the

:04:10. > :04:15.judges. Just standing in the centre and countering will not do it. Needs

:04:16. > :04:22.to work inside, but Adams making it very difficult to do so. Inside the

:04:23. > :04:31.final 30 seconds. Walsh back on the front foot, Adams keeping a range.

:04:32. > :04:39.The boxers trading blows. Adams remaining patient. Walsh needs one

:04:40. > :04:45.shot to bring a finish, not a very common occurrence in women's Olympic

:04:46. > :04:55.boxing. Walsh back onto the front foot. In hot pursuit. Both boxers

:04:56. > :04:59.raising thereon is. Wonderful accomplishment for Michaela Walsh,

:05:00. > :05:06.but I suspect it is Nicola Adams. Despite the warm embraces Michaela

:05:07. > :05:11.Walsh is receiving, that may be for just making it to this final. In my

:05:12. > :05:16.view Nicola Adams has secured Commonwealth gold. A rather untidy

:05:17. > :05:25.fourth and final round. That may have been the pick of Walsh's

:05:26. > :05:29.punches, landing flush on Adams. Michaela Walsh said it would be a

:05:30. > :05:33.dream come true meeting Nicola Adams, she was not starstruck, I

:05:34. > :05:42.think she gave her a good run for her money. I think it will be close.

:05:43. > :05:49.Nicola Adams the world number one, Michaela Walsh the 14th ranked boxer

:05:50. > :05:56.in the world. We go into the ring with the judges' scorecards. We have

:05:57. > :06:01.a split decision. In favour of the winner, now gold medallist and

:06:02. > :06:07.Commonwealth women's flyweight champion, in the blue corner,

:06:08. > :06:18.representing England, Nicola Adams, MBE. Unconfined joy from Nicola

:06:19. > :06:27.Adams, the boxer from Leeds completing a stirring double at the

:06:28. > :06:37.Hydro. Batt completing an historic double. -- competing an historic

:06:38. > :06:41.double. She's acknowledging all sides of the arena on the banks of

:06:42. > :06:47.the River Clyde. Nicola Adams, the world number one, taking

:06:48. > :06:53.Commonwealth Games gold. It is what it means to her. This is a boxer who

:06:54. > :06:58.loves occupying top spot. Heartbreak for Michaela Walsh, she cannot

:06:59. > :07:05.believe it. How well she has acquitted herself, just 20 years of

:07:06. > :07:09.age. She comes away with a Commonwealth silver medal, having

:07:10. > :07:15.the privilege of competing in the first ever bout of Commonwealth

:07:16. > :07:21.Games female boxing history. She has made it through to the first ever

:07:22. > :07:24.final, she has been vanquished and outpointed, coming away with a

:07:25. > :07:30.Commonwealth Games silver. It is Nicola Adams MBE who continues to

:07:31. > :07:35.foster her reputation on the international stage. She adds

:07:36. > :07:42.Commonwealth gold to Olympic gold from 2012, now posing for selfies

:07:43. > :07:47.with the fans. Interacting with them in this circular arena. She will

:07:48. > :07:57.stand and occupied top spot. Look how close it was. Two judges having

:07:58. > :08:04.it even. The judge from Kazakhstan have the final round in favour of

:08:05. > :08:10.Adams. A very tight contest, not the cleanest, hugely competitive, you

:08:11. > :08:23.would expect nothing less when Commonwealth Games gold is at stake.

:08:24. > :08:32.Nicola Adams continuing to etch in -- her name in boxing history. You

:08:33. > :08:36.are the first woman ever to win a Commonwealth Games gold medal. I am

:08:37. > :08:41.absolutely over the moon, cannot believe the support I have add. I

:08:42. > :08:46.would like to say thank you to everybody who has come up to support

:08:47. > :08:52.me, and on the TV. It was a tough fight, what did you think when you

:08:53. > :08:59.heard split decision? I thought it was tight, I thought I had done

:09:00. > :09:04.well, doing enough to take it. The crowd has been amazing, I cannot

:09:05. > :09:09.believe the cheering. It has been a Scottish rumble in the jungle. Where

:09:10. > :09:13.will you put the medal? I have a nice, safe place for it. I would

:09:14. > :09:20.like to say thank you to my coach, happy birthday, I have got you a

:09:21. > :09:31.present. Michaela, what a fantastic fight? We can see how disappointed

:09:32. > :09:41.you are, you thought you had a? -- had it? It was a close fight, she is

:09:42. > :09:47.Olympic champion, one judge added in favour. Know in my heart, I Anzhi

:09:48. > :09:51.Makhachkala the fight. I would like to say King graduations to Nicola

:09:52. > :09:57.Adams, a great ambassador for women's boxing. You have 11 years on

:09:58. > :10:05.her, plenty more years, plenty more championships? It is the first

:10:06. > :10:11.competition at 51 kilos, I feel like I have been cheated of the gold

:10:12. > :10:15.medal, not her fault. It was a close fight. They were going to give it to

:10:16. > :10:22.the limbic champion. I know that I won the fight. What did you expect,

:10:23. > :10:28.you put a good performance on, did you think it was the way it went? I

:10:29. > :10:33.knew it would be close, she is dealing the champion, I went to bed

:10:34. > :10:39.last night, I saw my hand being raised, I had a dream. I felt it

:10:40. > :10:46.when the bell went, that I had it. A split decision. It is a silver

:10:47. > :10:55.medal, I'm sure there will be goals in the future. Thank you bray much.

:10:56. > :11:00.-- golds. We have the boxers in the ring for the second fight, let's go

:11:01. > :11:01.back to the commentators. Shelley Watts has been introduced to

:11:02. > :11:44.the crowd. Representing India. A touch of gloves ahead of the 60

:11:45. > :11:48.kilograms lightweight final. The opening bell sounds to begin the

:11:49. > :11:55.first of the scheduled four two minute rounds. It is the gold-medal

:11:56. > :12:02.bout, the boxer on the front foot, Devi, 32 years of age, back from

:12:03. > :12:12.maternity leave, a former World Championship gold medallist. Shelley

:12:13. > :12:17.Watts, 22 years of age, in eye-catching form. This promises to

:12:18. > :12:24.be a hugely skilful and competitive encounter. A good start by Devi.

:12:25. > :12:31.Shelley Watts has a leaky guard, quite wide hands. One of her best

:12:32. > :12:43.charts, Devi, the rear hand over the top. Shelley Watts would be clever

:12:44. > :12:51.if she tightened the guard up a bit. A left hand to end of that exchange

:12:52. > :12:59.from Devi. So much skill and accomplishment from Devi. Gave birth

:13:00. > :13:02.to a son recently, now back in the boxing ring.

:13:03. > :13:07.to a son recently, now back in the Had success in the Asian

:13:08. > :13:19.championships, gold medal. Good left-hand from Shelley Watts,

:13:20. > :13:25.two-time Australian champion. The gloves of Devi will be wiped clean.

:13:26. > :13:32.This is the fourth contest for both of these boxers. Some shoeshine

:13:33. > :13:43.shots to the body from Shelley Watts. She eliminated Natasha Jonas

:13:44. > :13:59.in the first round, a tight decision. It has been a tough run to

:14:00. > :14:02.the final. Devi has been far more control, a stoppage over the

:14:03. > :14:12.Nigerian boxer when she dislocated her shoulder. Beating the Welsh girl

:14:13. > :14:17.and the Mozambique boxer. Clusters of punches. I think Devi has edged

:14:18. > :14:25.that round. Still not able to bring you the

:14:26. > :14:44.score totals from the judges. We are preparing to move into the

:14:45. > :14:51.second round. Straightaway onto the front foot, the boxer wearing blue,

:14:52. > :14:56.Devi of India. Driven backwards by Shelley Watts. Some straight shots

:14:57. > :15:03.sneaking in between Shelley Watts. Some straight shots

:15:04. > :15:10.jolting her head backwards. Neither boxer willing to concede ground. Now

:15:11. > :15:15.back to distance, approaching 30 seconds gone in round two. All three

:15:16. > :15:27.judges gave it to the Indian after the third round. A right hook from

:15:28. > :15:34.Watts. Very capable of boxing forwards or backwards. Wonderful

:15:35. > :15:41.natural mover. Not adverse to biting down on her gumshield, standing her

:15:42. > :15:49.ground, exchanging shots. Watts, on the front foot. We pass the midpoint

:15:50. > :15:57.of the second round. Watts has two box a bit more cleverly, pushing

:15:58. > :16:01.Devi towards the ropes. She comes off the better in that little

:16:02. > :16:13.exchange. Nice, sharp, clean punches. Fencing the jab, Watts

:16:14. > :16:19.going to work with muscular body shots, taking some back. A furious

:16:20. > :16:25.exchange in the ring. Both boxers testing the punch resistance and

:16:26. > :16:30.resolve. Not really paying much attention to slipping the shots. Now

:16:31. > :16:38.it is Devi driven backwards, keen to hold on. That was better by Watts,

:16:39. > :16:46.getting much more success thriving more than one punch. Just pushing

:16:47. > :16:52.Devi to the canvas, no count. A sweet left hand from Shelley Watts.

:16:53. > :16:58.Some really hard punching, competitive. Devi taking the first

:16:59. > :17:18.round unanimously. How will they see round number two? That is better,

:17:19. > :17:26.driving her towards the ropes. Devi countering well, a three shot,

:17:27. > :17:33.nation from Watts, all three judges favouring Watts. Tied up, one round

:17:34. > :17:37.of peace at the midway point. This 61 kilograms lightweight final. This

:17:38. > :17:44.is how Shelley 61 kilograms lightweight final. This

:17:45. > :17:58.Natasha Jonas, conceding the first round, coming on strong in round

:17:59. > :18:07.two, and three. Four national titles under her belt. It really is making

:18:08. > :18:32.her a pioneering trailblazer. What's is standing her ground.

:18:33. > :18:45.The action resumes. Shelley Watts competed in the World

:18:46. > :18:51.Championships. That was back in 2012. She didn't make it through to

:18:52. > :18:58.the Olympic Games on the strength of a performance so this is the biggest

:18:59. > :19:04.multisport extravaganza she has taken part in. She guaranteed

:19:05. > :19:12.Australia that she would bring gold home. She is in her quest to fulfil

:19:13. > :19:22.her promise. Excellent work to both body and head from Shelley Watts.

:19:23. > :19:33.What I round this is. What's is coming back at life from Debbie.

:19:34. > :19:43.-- Laishram Devi. A good left hook and then a right-hand follow-up from

:19:44. > :19:47.Watts. Her ponytail had come out of her head God. She's had trouble with

:19:48. > :19:52.that throughout the competition but the action remains true to joke,

:19:53. > :19:58.chest to chest, shoulder to shoulder on the logo beneath the Ring light

:19:59. > :20:02.in the boxing ring. What's comes forward with another clean left hand

:20:03. > :20:14.and another one almost got through. What an all action round.

:20:15. > :20:18.Devi was put under serious pressure during the course of that round,

:20:19. > :20:27.being driven backwards by an unrelenting Shelley Watts. A great

:20:28. > :20:32.finish to that round. She needs to push Devi. Devi isn't great on her

:20:33. > :20:39.feet and tends to stay on the ropes. Where Watts gets the best effect is

:20:40. > :20:43.when she does that. All three judges have David Watts in that round.

:20:44. > :21:06.Laishram Devi of India taking every conceivable second of respite on her

:21:07. > :21:10.stool in the blue corner prior to coming out for the fourth round and

:21:11. > :21:15.Shelley Watts came out and got on the front foot immediately but look

:21:16. > :21:22.at Devi planting her feet and firing back a furious exchange to begin the

:21:23. > :21:26.fourth and final round. Better angles by the Australian. She

:21:27. > :21:30.stepped off the side to avoid the counter. Very static when she avoids

:21:31. > :21:33.the ropes. What needs to put pressure on and stepped off to the

:21:34. > :21:40.side to avoid straight shots back by Devi. Both of these boxers part of

:21:41. > :21:44.maximum strength boxing teams, both composed of eight women and three

:21:45. > :21:48.men. They both continue to have moments of success but it is what's

:21:49. > :21:56.he was continuing to take the contest to Devi, driving the Indian

:21:57. > :22:01.boxer backwards, but now boxers are looking to trigger off a response

:22:02. > :22:06.from which they can counter. What is drawing a lead from Devi. A

:22:07. > :22:13.thunderous left hook crashes home with Devi becoming a bit

:22:14. > :22:18.disorganised now and taking longer. Look at the determination from Watts

:22:19. > :22:26.as she bears the green and gold mouth shield. The greater volume of

:22:27. > :22:32.punches and perhaps the cleaner work is coming from the Australian. Devi

:22:33. > :22:36.has just got to stand there. What needs to give herself a bit of room

:22:37. > :22:43.but she's certainly looking the dominant boxer. Approaching the

:22:44. > :22:48.final 20 seconds of this final and what a left hand from Watts. She

:22:49. > :22:56.moved her feet and whipped a left hook over the top. Devi continuing

:22:57. > :23:01.to compete. She knows no other way. She is fighting for this title with

:23:02. > :23:05.all she's worth. But the boxer who appears fresher and stronger and the

:23:06. > :23:10.one who came out blazing in that fourth and final round and got the

:23:11. > :23:16.better of what was a competitive and furious exchange appeared to be

:23:17. > :23:19.Shelley Watts. We're going to the judges' scorecards. What's led to

:23:20. > :23:33.high from one coming in for the fourth and final round. -- Shelley

:23:34. > :23:39.Watts led 2-1. Complete group and determination. Both Ox is dug deep,

:23:40. > :23:45.occasionally standing and trading punch for punch. -- both boxers. But

:23:46. > :23:49.Shelley Watts landed the cleaner shots in the final round. Well done

:23:50. > :23:50.to both boxers but an excellent performance by Shelley Watts of

:23:51. > :24:00.Australia. Ladies and gentlemen, we go to our

:24:01. > :24:05.judges' score results, where we have a unanimous decision in favour of

:24:06. > :24:11.the winner. She is now gold medallist and Commonwealth women's

:24:12. > :24:13.lightweight champion. In the red corner, representing Australia,

:24:14. > :24:17.Shelley Watts! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:24:18. > :24:23.Australia's Shelley Watts jumps for joy in the boxing ring. She has just

:24:24. > :24:29.been crowned as the first ever women's champion here at the

:24:30. > :24:35.Commonwealth Games. Arms outstretched in celebration. I love

:24:36. > :24:47.you! A warm embrace for Kevin Smith. She has just been crowned as

:24:48. > :24:52.the first ever lightweight champion in the 20 edition history of the

:24:53. > :24:58.Commonwealth Games boxing tournament. Delighted, she leaves

:24:59. > :25:02.the boxing ring. This was the moment of confirmation. She made a promise

:25:03. > :25:08.earlier in the tournament, a public declaration, and she made good on

:25:09. > :25:10.it. It's come at the expense of Laishram Devi but what a glittering

:25:11. > :25:15.career she continues to have in women's boxing. World champion in

:25:16. > :25:19.2006, five successive Asia championship gold medals and here

:25:20. > :25:23.she comes away with a common wealth games silver but that is the woman

:25:24. > :25:29.who will occupy top spot on the medal rostrum here in Glasgow 2014,

:25:30. > :25:36.still with energy to burn as she shadow-box spuriously within the

:25:37. > :25:41.ring. She prevailed in a really competitive, hard-fought encounter.

:25:42. > :25:45.What a run to Commonwealth gold it was with victories over England's

:25:46. > :25:53.Natasha Jonas, Isabel Rafer stopped and it was a winner over Northern

:25:54. > :25:59.Ireland opponent. She overcame Laishram Devi in the final round

:26:00. > :26:02.bout and she came from behind after one bout but claimed every

:26:03. > :26:06.subsequent round to produce a dominant display.

:26:07. > :26:12.You promised to take the gold and green and gold and you have. I have

:26:13. > :26:15.and I can't tell you how excited I am. The best feeling of my life. The

:26:16. > :26:20.first round didn't go according to plan. No, she came out lazy and just

:26:21. > :26:28.kept punching. I was a little bit shocked by it. Credit to her, she

:26:29. > :26:33.did an amazing job, came forward and kept coming forward. World champion

:26:34. > :26:36.and now Commonwealth champion - how do you feel? It's fantastic. It's my

:26:37. > :26:42.biggest achievement to date so I can't beat this feeling. As an

:26:43. > :26:47.Australian, what has been your impression of the Commonwealth Games

:26:48. > :26:50.because in four years, will you beat them in Brisbane? After watching the

:26:51. > :26:55.opening ceremony and listening to the Scots in the crowd and knowing

:26:56. > :26:59.all the boys who box, I want to experience that on the Gold Coast

:27:00. > :27:04.for sure. I can't think of anything better than walking out in front of

:27:05. > :27:08.a home crowd so bring on four years time! We're just waiting for the

:27:09. > :27:12.medal ceremony which is going to happen in a few minutes. Not sure

:27:13. > :27:18.what the protocol is about that so when it starts, we'll go to it. We

:27:19. > :27:21.had two fights so far. Really competitive, high-quality and great

:27:22. > :27:27.adverts for the women's game. Definitely. We had our English

:27:28. > :27:31.champion and she boxed really well and put on a great performance. She

:27:32. > :27:36.will be there in a while picking her gold medal up, Nicola Adams, but

:27:37. > :27:39.overall, the girl struck a loss of skills stop great footwork, great

:27:40. > :27:44.movement and the last few fights have been amazing. Your first title

:27:45. > :27:50.fight was in 1997 and you turned pro in 2005. The first gym that you went

:27:51. > :27:56.to in 2007 - were there any women boxers? No. I think people like

:27:57. > :28:01.Nicola Adams are going to promote boxing for the women but when I was

:28:02. > :28:10.boxing and I started, there was hardly any. You're going to see the

:28:11. > :28:13.gyms full I bet. There is the piper in the ring, playing the

:28:14. > :28:18.Commonwealth Games theme that we've got to know and love over the last

:28:19. > :28:23.ten days or so and here is the presentation party and there is

:28:24. > :28:25.Michaela Walsh, still saying that she won. She really, really does

:28:26. > :28:32.feel that she got a rough deal she won. She really, really does

:28:33. > :28:37.this contest but nonetheless, "I won, I won," she is telling us, but

:28:38. > :28:41.she will receive the silver medal because that's the lady who will get

:28:42. > :28:45.the gold medal at the Olympic gold she won in London two years ago and

:28:46. > :28:48.Ronald will talk us through the ceremony.

:28:49. > :28:57.COMMENTATOR: Nicola Adams returning to top spot on a medal podium, which

:28:58. > :29:00.is what she experienced in London 2012 and during the most recent

:29:01. > :29:04.European Championships she was eliminated that the quarterfinals

:29:05. > :29:08.stage and finished in fifth place in Bucharest. She promised when I spoke

:29:09. > :29:13.to her head of the tournament that this Commonwealth Games would bear

:29:14. > :29:20.witness to a fitter, faster, sharper, better Nicola Adams.

:29:21. > :29:24.Regardless of whether she fulfilled that particular promise, she has

:29:25. > :29:35.been good enough to secure Commonwealth Games gold. A run to

:29:36. > :29:39.that gold medal which had four victories, culminating in a gold

:29:40. > :29:45.medal bout with over Michaela Walsh of Northern Ireland. Since London

:29:46. > :29:50.2012, she's been boxing all over the world, Nicola Adams, but for the

:29:51. > :29:55.first time since that Olympic Games, the first female boxing champion in

:29:56. > :30:01.Olympic history has returned to the full glare of a multisport event and

:30:02. > :30:07.the global spotlight. Now she's about to be crowned as the

:30:08. > :30:15.first-ever women's boxing champion in the history of the Commonwealth

:30:16. > :30:21.Games. The medals will be presented by the chairman of the Commonwealth

:30:22. > :30:29.Games Association England, Sir Andrew Foster, accompanied by the

:30:30. > :30:30.chair of the women's commission of the international boxing

:30:31. > :30:42.association. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:30:43. > :30:53.The winner of the bronze medal, representing Canada, Mandy Bujold. A

:30:54. > :30:58.hugely experienced individual, made it all the way through to the

:30:59. > :31:03.quarterfinals. She comes away with a Commonwealth Games bronze. She was

:31:04. > :31:13.eliminated by Nicola Adams at the semifinals stage.

:31:14. > :31:48.representing India, Pinki Rani. She and knowledge is the applause of the

:31:49. > :31:57.crowd in anticipation of receiving her bronze medal. -- she

:31:58. > :32:09.acknowledges. An outstanding boxer. She stepped up to 51, and prevented

:32:10. > :32:17.an iconic boxer from India taking part in the Commonwealth Games by

:32:18. > :32:20.eliminating her. She boxed brilliantly before succumbing to

:32:21. > :32:27.Michaela Walsh. Representing Northern Ireland, for the silver

:32:28. > :32:34.medal, Michaela Walsh. Bittersweet moment perhaps for Michaela Walsh.

:32:35. > :32:40.She feels passionately that she did enough to earn the victory during

:32:41. > :32:45.that final bout against Nicola Adams. I am sure when the

:32:46. > :32:48.20-year-old looks back on this accomplishment she will have reason

:32:49. > :32:53.and right to feel immensely proud of what she has just accomplished. The

:32:54. > :32:56.woman who stepped forward to compete in the first-ever bout for women in

:32:57. > :33:04.the history of the Commonwealth Games has boxed her way all the way

:33:05. > :33:11.through to the final and claims a proud place on the silver medal

:33:12. > :33:13.rostrum. Gold medallist and Commonwealth champion, representing

:33:14. > :33:26.England, Nicola Adams! CROWD CHEERS

:33:27. > :33:38.Nicola Adams that knowledge is all of the crowd here in this circular

:33:39. > :33:43.amphitheatre at the S E -- SSE Hydro. The first women's boxing

:33:44. > :33:53.champion in the Commonwealth Games. She occupies the top spot of the 51

:33:54. > :33:53.kilo flyweight medal podium after her hard-fought victory over

:33:54. > :34:03.Michaela Walsh of Northern Ireland. Ladies and gentleman, the national

:34:04. > :35:32.anthem of England. The megawatt smile of Nicola Adams

:35:33. > :35:35.illuminating the SSE Hydro arena, as she has done with her star quality

:35:36. > :35:41.and boxing skill throughout the course of the tournament. There are

:35:42. > :35:48.your Commonwealth Games boxing medallists in the 51 kilo flyweight

:35:49. > :35:52.division. Both women making history. Nicola Adams the first female

:35:53. > :35:57.Commonwealth boxing champion but spare a thought for Michaela Walsh.

:35:58. > :36:01.We saw her interview with John Inverdale a moment ago, heartbroken,

:36:02. > :36:06.but she has made history as well, the first female boxer to box at the

:36:07. > :36:10.Commonwealth Games. Wonderful scenes at the Hydro and I am going to take

:36:11. > :36:14.you back to Scotstown to bring you the latest from the mixed doubles

:36:15. > :36:22.table tennis that we left just before the boxing. It is an all

:36:23. > :36:26.England affair. England guaranteed both gold and silver with Paul and

:36:27. > :36:30.Joanna Drinkhall taking on Liam Pitchford and 15-year-old Tin-Tin

:36:31. > :36:34.Ho. It went all the way but it was the husband and wife team who took

:36:35. > :36:46.it in five thrilling games 11-5 in the last. Commonwealth champion, how

:36:47. > :36:50.does that sound? Amazing! If you had told us at the beginning of the

:36:51. > :36:54.tournament we would be playing our own team-mates in the final... It

:36:55. > :36:59.has been such a great event for English table tennis and we are so

:37:00. > :37:04.happy to win. Celebrations at the end were muted. Was that because of

:37:05. > :37:09.the way it finished? They were robbed because of the net, but we

:37:10. > :37:13.were robbed of our proper celebration because it was an

:37:14. > :37:17.unlucky point to finish on. But it was great for us to be the winners

:37:18. > :37:23.and great for England table tennis to have gold, silver and bronze in

:37:24. > :37:27.the mixed and to have challenged Singapore which has not been done

:37:28. > :37:32.for a long time. After Delhi, you had unfinished business for not

:37:33. > :37:38.getting the gold medal. Yes, it is amazing. I came per four medals and

:37:39. > :37:42.I only got two but one of them is gold. To win it with my wife is

:37:43. > :37:46.extra special and amazing. The way they came back, were you worried? We

:37:47. > :37:53.knew they were tough opponents, really good players. But you still

:37:54. > :37:59.have another set to win. We can't finish there and we are experienced

:38:00. > :38:02.enough to know that. They fought back to two sets all and made us

:38:03. > :38:09.fight for the title but I am happy to say that we took it. How do you

:38:10. > :38:15.celebrate a gold medal? Bottle of champagne, or several bottles! I

:38:16. > :38:18.have to play the bronze medal match in the women's doubles first. I will

:38:19. > :38:23.win that with Kelly and then join him afterwards. Congratulations and

:38:24. > :38:31.I hope you get all the champagne you want. STUDIO: Great result for that

:38:32. > :38:36.couple. All underwent hip surgery last year was of the international

:38:37. > :38:39.circuit for a year. And on crutches he and Joanna married. She is the

:38:40. > :38:46.current national champion and actually plays her club table tennis

:38:47. > :38:50.in France. Many congratulations to Paul and Joanna Drinkhall. Brilliant

:38:51. > :38:54.stuff. That is a table tennis sorted. Let's go back to John

:38:55. > :38:59.Inverdale at the boxing. This is Nicola Adams with a gold medal round

:39:00. > :39:03.her neck. That looks pretty cool, doesn't it? Very cool. It makes the

:39:04. > :39:08.hard work in the gym worth it when you get this round your neck. We

:39:09. > :39:13.spoke about the fight itself in the aftermath. What do you think has

:39:14. > :39:17.happened to women's boxing since you have won? I definitely think it has

:39:18. > :39:22.excelled. The competition has improved. The girls are getting more

:39:23. > :39:27.and more talented all the time. It has definitely increased the number

:39:28. > :39:31.of participants as well. What do you feel your responsibility is now? I

:39:32. > :39:36.don't know how many years you intend to fight for. Rio? Definitely. I

:39:37. > :39:40.would love to do that. I would like to inspire the next generation,

:39:41. > :39:47.which I have started there already. It is nice to get girls and boys

:39:48. > :39:54.involved in boxing. It makes me happy. And I are you going to take a

:39:55. > :39:59.break? Yes, little holiday, relax, then back in the gym. It never ends.

:40:00. > :40:05.You know that! Congratulations and lovely to see you again. And in the

:40:06. > :40:16.ring imminently will be Paddy Barnes. Amir Khan is having a selfie

:40:17. > :40:21.with Nicola Adams! Shameful. Paddy Barnes, one of the greatest Northern

:40:22. > :40:24.Ireland hopes for a gold medal. Bronze medallist in Beijing and

:40:25. > :40:28.London and he is somebody who has put his professional career on hold

:40:29. > :40:34.to win a Commonwealth Games gold medal, so this is the moment, isn't

:40:35. > :40:42.it? Yes, I am sure he will turn professional with another medal one

:40:43. > :40:53.day. And he is up against the Indian agenda. -- Vijender Vijender. He

:40:54. > :40:57.knows what to do. Go out and be smart. If anybody has been watching

:40:58. > :41:01.Paddy Barnes over the last week, he never takes a backward step. He is

:41:02. > :41:09.constantly going forward. You are reading risks when you do that. For

:41:10. > :41:18.his opponent that is relentless. Yes. Two pressure fighters will make

:41:19. > :41:25.this a very competitive fight. Let's hand to the commentators.

:41:26. > :41:32.It is wonderful to see Amir Khan, ten years since he thrilled us all

:41:33. > :41:38.in Athens. But now there is a little man here, not this one, but the man

:41:39. > :41:44.across the rink, who has two bronze medals. No seeded draw in the

:41:45. > :41:49.tournament in Glasgow but this final has brought together not just the

:41:50. > :42:00.two best men in this light flyweight division but two of the best men in

:42:01. > :42:06.this division in the entire world. Paddy Barnes won in Delhi four years

:42:07. > :42:11.ago. And it is an old foe, a man he met at the Olympic Games just two

:42:12. > :42:19.years ago. The referee is from Azerbaijan. Five judges at ringside.

:42:20. > :42:26.Three are chosen randomly and their scores are the ones that matter. Now

:42:27. > :42:30.it is the wee fellers, the 49 kilograms division, the light

:42:31. > :42:37.flyweight. Paddy Barnes the defending champion. Double Olympic

:42:38. > :42:42.bronze medallist, former European champion. Looking to become the

:42:43. > :42:50.first boxer from Northern Ireland looking to defend his Commonwealth

:42:51. > :42:57.title. Paddy Barnes in blue. And the fast punching, quick moving little

:42:58. > :43:04.soldier from India, Devendro Laishram. He has put together some

:43:05. > :43:07.sequences. He boxes well within himself. These little fellas have

:43:08. > :43:17.less than 24 hours to prepare for this. They are both very experienced

:43:18. > :43:21.guys. Devendro looked really good in his semifinal against the Welsh

:43:22. > :43:26.man, Williams, but so was Paddy Barnes. Each round he has got better

:43:27. > :43:32.and better. He is so efficient. He works to the body, fast

:43:33. > :43:35.combinations. Although Devendro is a big puncher, when he is throwing

:43:36. > :43:43.right hooks, he is open down the middle. I expect Paddy Barnes to

:43:44. > :43:47.target some straight shots also. Third round stoppages in that

:43:48. > :43:58.semifinal against the promising Ugandan. Devendro came up against

:43:59. > :44:06.the Sri Lankan, a Scot and the Welsh man. That is the trademark shot of

:44:07. > :44:07.Paddy Barnes. They get underneath the right elbow of every opponent

:44:08. > :44:32.but he is pretty good to the head. Laishram is rated number three in

:44:33. > :44:41.the world. If you watch the way Barnes boxes, he is a bit open and

:44:42. > :44:48.his guard is a bit suspect. Barnes has a very tight guard. It is very

:44:49. > :44:53.difficult to penetrate it. It is worth noting that these two men met

:44:54. > :44:58.a couple of years ago in London. Barnes came through on the computer

:44:59. > :45:04.scoring system by 23 points to 18. A high scoring contest and nothing

:45:05. > :45:08.much in it. Laishram is having some success. For the first time Paddy

:45:09. > :45:13.Barnes has met an opponent worthy of his mettle. We pointed this out in

:45:14. > :45:17.the semifinal. He will take a backward step now and again to

:45:18. > :45:26.create room. That is when you have to watch the powerful shot that go

:45:27. > :45:32.in. This is a close round. Barnes has had it all his own way before

:45:33. > :45:40.now and he is not in this round. I would hate to call this. Very close

:45:41. > :45:44.indeed. Nip and tuck. Barnes with more on the inside. Close to call.

:45:45. > :45:49.All three judges have given them to Paddy Barnes. They are not putting

:45:50. > :45:54.the scores up on the screens for us at the end of the round but I would

:45:55. > :46:01.say Paddy Barnes has just nicked it. Nothing in it at all. That was a

:46:02. > :46:10.lovely right hand over the top from Barnes. When Laishram takes that

:46:11. > :46:18.backward step, that is when Barnes has to quicken. This lad is a clever

:46:19. > :46:31.Indian boxer. Plenty of support for the 22-year-old from Delhi. What an

:46:32. > :46:39.outstanding Commonwealth Games the Northern Irish boxing team have had.

:46:40. > :46:43.Four years ago they came away with pool goals and three silvers. This

:46:44. > :46:55.year they only have three in the finals. J Fitzgerald still to come.

:46:56. > :46:59.This is what Barnes does best. A right hand snaking out from the

:47:00. > :47:09.Belfast boxer. The referee just steps in. Barnes moves away

:47:10. > :47:11.carefully. Laishram is coming forward and Barnes is denying him

:47:12. > :47:21.any chance to learn anything meaningful. Laishram is still

:47:22. > :47:24.dangerous, obviously. When he takes that backward step is when he is

:47:25. > :47:29.looking to land bigger shots, but he goes wide and that is why he is

:47:30. > :47:34.slightly open. And you can't make those mistakes against Barnes. He

:47:35. > :47:45.finds openings and ways through the guard. But it is toted toe stuff

:47:46. > :47:52.again. Laishram coming through. Trying to pick him off and Barnes

:47:53. > :47:55.not obliging. The referee called break and stop but it is hard to

:47:56. > :48:07.hear. This is a lofty commentary position. Laishram has slowed down a

:48:08. > :48:15.bit. That will suit Barnes. He has a hook off that role and movement but

:48:16. > :48:19.this is a clever little man in blue. Sharp punches, accurate work from

:48:20. > :48:27.Paddy Barnes. Lovely left hand by Paddy Barnes. Occasionally he can be

:48:28. > :48:30.just as sharp as his punches. He has got into bother with straightforward

:48:31. > :48:34.criticism of things that don't believe him but he is pleasing the

:48:35. > :48:43.crowd here. Laishram is tiring very slightly. Barnes has a great engine.

:48:44. > :48:49.Now the effects of five contests throughout these ten days will have

:48:50. > :48:55.an effect on the boxing. Laishram is slowing down but Barnes isn't. We

:48:56. > :48:56.have said how efficient he is with his right hand in the other

:48:57. > :49:00.contests. have said how efficient he is with

:49:01. > :49:04.his right hand in the other Doing what he has been doing all the way

:49:05. > :49:16.through. Little body shots. They are punishing. They are taking this team

:49:17. > :49:22.out of the Indian. We have said in previous contests how he saved

:49:23. > :49:26.himself for this moment. He is bringing it all out and this is what

:49:27. > :49:33.you have to do. He was just a teenager eight years ago in

:49:34. > :49:36.Melbourne. He is leaving nothing to chance here. All three judges have

:49:37. > :49:42.given it to Paddy Barnes and all three judges have given him the

:49:43. > :49:48.second round as well so he is on his way. Good performance from Barnes.

:49:49. > :49:58.Four, five punches, in combinations, working the body well. He stood toe

:49:59. > :50:07.to toe. He is slowing down and the gaps are peering so Barnes is

:50:08. > :50:18.putting it together and getting the Judges' scores. -- gaps are peering.

:50:19. > :50:26.Stuff being applied to the eyebrows but the heads have been kept out of

:50:27. > :50:31.the way, I am pleased to say. First Commonwealth Games without head

:50:32. > :50:36.guards, remember. Northern Ireland's team boxing captain, Paddy

:50:37. > :50:38.Barnes, the most decorated man in Northern Ireland boxing history,
