BBC One: Day 4: 18:30-19:10 Commonwealth Games

games and more medals to be claimed. We will start with cycling, but our

main focus is swimming where England could strike a double gold in two of

the shortest races. Liam Tancock and the first gold

medal for England. Liam Tancock has got it, world champion again! Chris

Walker-Hebborn is going to win the Commonwealth title. What ace Wim! --

what a swim. Fran Halsall has got it. Fran Halsall from England is the

Commonwealth champion of the women's freestyle. That is

brilliant! It could well be a night for

England. -- a good night. Here is what is coming up... She has been

flying already, Fran Halsall will be looking to land her second gold

medal in the 50 metres butterfly. He has already won 100 metres

backstroke gold, Chris Walker-Hebborn is after a double.

You cannot rule out his England team-mate and defending champion,

Liam Tancock, a medal is in his sights. At the Velodrome, who will

be crowned the King of keirin? You can find that out online. At the end

of the night, gold will be decided in the rugby 7's and New Zealand are

favourites to land a famous five. Here is how the evening looks, we

will be heading to the Velodrome shortly for the final events in the

track cycling and after that, we will be at the swimming pool for the

finals. That will depend on the cycling and the timetable is kind,

we will join the rugby 7's around 9:30 p.m., that is to come. Here is

what has happened already. Athletics began this morning on the

streets and there was a surprise in the men's marathon with Michael

Shelley taking gold and Derek Hawkins from Scotland came ninth.

Shortly after that, Flomena Cheyech Daniel won the women's marathon.

Susan Partridge was the nearest finisher for the home nations

insect. In shooting, there was a celebration for England as Charlotte

Kerwood won her fourth gold medal before Steven Scott scored victory

in the men's event. In the Velodrome, Sophie Thornhill and

Helen Scott won their second Commonwealth gold in the Paris

bought tandem time trial. Not that long ago in the absence of Mo Farah,

this man won gold at Hampden Park. Laura Trott defied a kidney

infection to win a gold medal in a points race against the Welsh and

Scottish competitors. Later, Sir Chris Hoi, Ian Thorpe and Steven Way

who finished 10th in the marathon will be joining me -- Chris Hoy.

Stephen Rae give up smoking and lost weight to take part in the marathon

-- map Wray. Bowles is available on the red button. We also have rugby

7's. -- bowls. There is the lawn bowls. We will get it right

eventually. As we have seen him already, let us see Jonathan and I

am liking your spectacles. I will put mine on to. We will all wave at

you! We have had a great four days. Just to reflect, on what was a

brilliant performance by Laura Trott. She has not been 100%, she

had a kidney infection. Little things can put you off your stride,

but she has dealt with it well. She has determination and she showed it

perfectly and tactically as well. Great to see three home nations on

the podium. Disappointment for Eleanor Barker. They were both on 37

points up the final line, but because Laura Trott was slightly

ahead, that was how they decided the gold medal. But Barker did

brilliantly. She is on such great form, it she can spread as well. It

was great to hear the home crowd roar as Katie Archibald came

through. We hear that about the Tour de France, the aggressive rider

animates the race and Katie Archibald has been doing that and

finally she got out reward. She deserves it. Early in the race, I'd

thought she was trying to pick up points wherever she could, but

missing out on winning. I thought that might count against, but she

kept on trying. She has got guts. We thought she would have a chance of

an individual medal and it is good she achieved that. The other

Scottish medal we were cheering, but Aileen McGlynn did well. She was

riding well, but not well enough in their eyes. It was good, not good

enough for gold medal, but she will be delighted to go so close. On a

disappointing note, the men's keirin still to come, Jason Kenny, won the

world title couple of years ago, outstanding, but he struggled and

got knocked out. He did, he showed a bit of city after the team sprint.

The New Zealand contenders looked good. It is disappointing not to see

a whole nation rider in the final. -- home nation. Two Australians and

Malaysia rider. We saw from Josiah Ng a little flick which almost cost

the pile-up, exciting but a little bit naughty. Everyone knows about

Mark Cavendish, but 68 is a star. In the points raised yesterday, he was

run out of it -- map Peter Kennaugh. He was outmanoeuvred by the New

Zealand contenders. A few other riders to look out for, 21-macro, he

is in it. A different type of race for him -- Ed Clancy. He competes in

endurance events. He also has a certain amount of sprint capability.

He has a lot of speed and power. If he can hang in there, there is a

good chance we could see him on the podium. We can head out onto the

track. Rob Hayles and Simon Brotherton are standing by. Evan

Oliphant has some company there. So far, six riders have gained a lap on

the rest of the field, the Australian, the Canadian, Mark

Christian, Martyn Irvine and Shane Archbold. We have four more riders

trying to take a lap. We can see the rider from the Isle of Man. Owen

Doull is from Wales. Evan Oliphant from Scotland was in that group.

Dropping back a bit. Three riders out in front, trying to gain a lap.

They need to, because six riders have taken the lap. It is partly

about the flow of the race and the timing when you try to game that lap

if you do attack, trying to catch the peloton when they are not at

full speed. The kind of riders who are involved, like Peter Kennaugh,

they are flat out, trying to chase them down. New Zealand is doing all

the damage at the front of the peloton. This is a dangerous move.

Jonathan Mould there, Peter Kennaugh as well. They all have a good sprint

and New Zealand know that. They need to protect their rider. We have had

some superb track racing, not quite finished yet, the finals of the

men's keirin still to come. We have 36 laps left in this event. The

men's 15km mass start. One of the big losers at the moment is Glenn

Oshea. -- scratch race. This rider is trying to go clear on his own,

Chris Walker-Hebborn from Scotland. -- Mark Stewart. We are into the

last 33 laps on the rise. Glenn Oshea there, Mark Christian,

Jonathan Mould from Wales. Martyn Irvine is losing his lap, he has

half a lap down. He is Irvine is losing his lap, he has

half a lap down. He starting to struggle. I do not think he is

likely to be a factor, he is running out of gas. He is going slowly

around the bottom of the track as the peloton hurtle past us. Forward

comes Mark Stewart from Scotland. There is James McCallum. Luke

Davidson from Australia has pulled out. This is really a fast race.

That is! Is a world champion, not in this events -- Luke Davidson. Mark

Stewart -- Mark Stewart is still pushing on. There he is, with the

yellow shoes on. Peloton are resisting. They are strung out.

There is Mark Stewart. -- the peloton. He is starting to struggle.

It is so difficult when you are on your own, the speed that the peloton

have been riding stop Ed Clancy takes it up for England. When you

make these breakaways, you can get stuck in no man's land. You really

can. He is riding through quicksand. The Scottish rider, Evan Oliphant

doing a bit of blocking. It is Peter Kennaugh there. We just saw Jonathan

Mould rolling around the bottom of the track. He was one of the riders

that took the lap. Stewart is back with everybody else. Riding on the

front. Harrison, for Wales. The 22-year-old. He is gritting his

teeth. Trying to make a break but he's being chased down at the moment

by Alex Edmondson, the world pursuit champion. Coming to the front of the

race. Tom Scully. A little over 20 laps remaining. Here is Martyn

Irvine. He will not be in the mix for the medals. His race is turning

out to be the same as eight years ago. Five riders have lapped the

field. It will be a big lead out with all of their team-mates. They

will try and set themselves up, with 21 laps left. It is hard to see

anybody else trying to gain. He has hanged on. Looks like he was

struggling but after gaining earlier on, he is still in that leading

group. Hanging off the back of the Palette on at times. But he has

managed to make sure that he has not lost that lap that he gained

earlier. He is not known as yo-yo for nothing. Australia leading the

way with 19 laps left. Over the line this time. Leading them through,

Alex Edmondson. He is looking for what would be his third medal this

week. Ed Clancy looking around at the front in the red and white.

Martyn Irvine in that bright crash helmet, a brief turn at the front.

Mark Stewart coming through. The Welshman on his wheel. He has done

his work and he is out. Tim Olyphant is dropping out of the race. Getting

to the closing stages. Tom Scully, winner of the points race is right

onto his wheel. Though Angel has finished twice forth in events this

year. The white hat and the black stripe, second place with the Isle

of Man in that group. One lap down but a rider on his wheel, Mark

Christian, he has taken a lap from that group. It will be about Mark

Christian. Peter Kennaugh will be the leader. Mark Christian is not

leaving that wheel. Whatsoever. Here is an track -- an attack. Coming

from the Welshman once again. He is one lap down. He will not figure

here. Gaining quite a lot of ground very quickly. Trying to animate the

racing in the closing stages. Try to get that lap back. It will be a big

task for him to do that with 14 left. The field will be winding up

towards the end. Tom Scully, second on the track as you look at the

riders. Stewart getting involved. And up to the front. And he is going

through with 13 lead. Scully in second place. Peter Kennaugh on the

front with Mark Christian, glued to the back wheel. He has done a fairly

decent sprint. Winning a Commonwealth Games bronze medal

before four years ago. He will have one of the best lead outs on the

track. They have got another rider here, Joe Kelly, looking to get

involved and I am pretty sure he will. All bunched up. Out in front

on his own but he's not one of the leading riders in the race.

Christian and Archibald are the leading riders. We were talking

about Martyn Irvine and how he thought that he had lost ground and

lost that lap earlier and the computer has caught up. Martyn

Irvine has lost that lap indeed. Looked like he was losing touch in

the race. Leno Shea, Christian, Archibald, they are a lap up on

everybody else. -- Glenn O'Shea. Up in front on his own at this moment

in time. He is like most of the rest of the riders out on the track,

actually one lap down on the four of them. Even if he took this with

eight laps left to go. There is no way that he would recover and get

himself back in front and test the medals. Just getting their

selections right. Just starting to get themselves in position. 7.5 laps

left. Australia getting themselves together. Now, Martyn Irvine. Yet

into the front again. One lap down. He will not figure in the medals.

Looks like Martyn Irvine has found his fourth, is the wind. It was a

shame he lost that lap in the middle because he likes to launch himself

out front like this. He has been really good in the scratch racing

world Championships in the last couple of years, winning in 2013,

silver medal in Columbia back in February. The leader is about to be

gobbled up by the rest, bearing down on him, led by Tom Scully, the gold

medallist 24 hours ago in the points race. It is New Zealand leading out

but coming over the top, Peter Kennaugh. He is up alongside. It

will be a drag race between the Isle of Man had New Zealand. He is doing

a great job for Mark Christian and New Zealand trying to do the same

for Shane Archbold. Tom Scully... Leading the way at the moment. He is

getting the lead from Tom Scully. Just losing the wheel a little bit,

Mark Christian at the moment. Peter Kennaugh has made his move. It is up

to Mark Christian. The lead is now coming from Tom Scully. Such a

strong one from the front. A long lead out and a lot to do. And here

we go, the bell. He is in pole position. Glenn O'Shea is right on

his wheel. Mark Christian four at the moment. He is being chased by

Glenn O'Shea all the way. Mark Christian, third. Looked like he

might be overhauled. Over the line, Commonwealth champion, Shane

Archbold from New Zealand. One of the riders gaining one lap earlier

in the race. He stayed strong and focused. His team did a great job.

None more so than Tom Scully, winning gold 24 hours ago. Shane

Archbold did a lot of work for Tom Scully yesterday and that is more

than repaid. Shane Archbold wins in the grand style, crossing the line

in first place at the end of a thrilling sprint at the end of the

scratch race final. Gold, New Zealand. Glenn O'Shea from Australia

second place. And third will be the Canadian. And Mark Christian by my

reckoning, just nudged out, fourth place. We can see down the back

straight, Scully, getting his lead out. It was up to Shane Archibald to

get the lead out here. Taking up that sprint with Glenn O'Shea on his

wheel. Mark Christian had to do an awful lot of work. He had a

fantastic lead out there with a couple of laps left. But running out

of legs and getting slightly out opposition. Going through the bell,

on the other side, in the wind. Finally his legs dropped off. And

the Canadian was able to steal the bronze medal from under his nose. A

first title for Shane Archbold. At global level. He was a silver

medallist in the world Championships three years ago. But now he is the

Commonwealth champion. Not surprisingly, looking pretty

pleased. Gold, New Zealand. And for Shane Archbold. Leno shape,

three-time champion himself from Australia, with the silver medal. --

Glenn O'Shea. And the Canadian with the bronze. New Zealand are winning

a third gold of these games. STUDIO: Chris and Sarah, you cannot

deny that both racers, it was just a drama the whole way through. Not

that easy to follow the race. It is easier in the stadium. On television

trying to follow what is happening in the context of everything, he

attempted to unlatch himself and there is a battle within a battle.

For riders, one lap up and all coming down to the final sprint. And

then the lead out. It is nice to see how Peter, after losing one lap

earlier on hand a chance of winning, reverting tactics and becoming a

team player, rather than the main guy, with Mark Christian.

Absolutely. When you are in a team like that and somebody has an

advantage that you would like to have had for yourself, put your ego

away and play the team role and that is what he did. New Zealand have had

a decent Commonwealth Games. It has been great. Talking about the team,

the Kiwis rooting for each other as well. His team-mate Eric himself on

the front to keep the pace up. -- Erik himself. -- was dairying

himself. -- was busying himself. Matt Kieron will be on the red

button after seven o'clock. No British interest unfortunately in

that final. A very good race by Glenn O'Shea, taking silver. And the

Canadian with the bronze. They have had a reasonable game and they will

be glad, Canada, to get the bronze medal. It is tough on the track. A

couple of fourth places, though Wayne Gould, giving his best but not

quite getting there. It is difficult to be able to get back on terms.

Mark Christian coming forth. He thought he could get into the medals

at the end of the race but sadly could not. We can look back at the

closing stages once again that race. Peter had done his best. But losing

his way. The Kiwis managed to break that line, getting in between him

and Mark Christian. Mark Christian hanging in the back here. He is on

his wheel. He has been sheltered for a good few laps. I thought the

Aussie would potentially come off with a little flick from the kiwi.

It was nothing vicious. Going back to the early stages, when Peter lost

a lap, a bit of a surprise, Sarah? A bit of a surprise. You do not

sometimes know what has happened. Look at that scratch race yesterday.

It has taken more out of him than he thought as well. Mark Christian was

in a position to take on the lead and keep the other man in the race.

Not enough at the end. -- the Isle of Man in the race. Disappointing

from the men's point of view but a step in the right direction after

last year. It is about building and gaining momentum and confidence. He

showed himself very well on the sprint, Kenny. The team pursuit

girls, and the bunch races, they did very well has well and it is good to

see. Back to Jill Douglas. Many congratulations. You helped Tom

Scully last night in that win and he gave you a great lead here. That is

how good team-mates work. You put it on the line for them and you might

have to wait ten years to get it back. I only had to wait 24 hours.

We have been training for this our whole lives. And to get a double

like that is amazing. And a great tussle with the Isle of Man once

again. They are very good and strong opponents. Hands off to them. Some

things did not go their way. We have ended up winning. We have raced to

win. We did not break the rules in doing so. We hope for a clean fight

and it was a perfect race and cannot ask for anything better. A

remarkable game for New Zealand. You have sent a strong message with four

gold medals. I think there was a fourth one, yes. Yes, Sam Webster.

The team sprint. And Scully last night. We hope it is not over for

New Zealand. We have got a good chance coming up with the keirin.

Thank you very much. athlete. The keirin final will be on

the red button. Final thoughts? I thought it was going to be great and

it exceeded expectations. The home nations did well, great to see

Scotland doing well from a personal point of view. I think Katie

Archibald was fantastic today. It was great to see the para- cycling

events. It was the first time. Great to see Helen Scott and Sophie

Thornhill do the double like Craig Maclean and Neil Fachie. I hope it

happens again. Thank you very much. The men House

happens again. Thank you very much. The keirin is on the red button. For

now, we rejoined the swimming. Welcome to the swimming. We have a

new friend with us. This is our mini mascot. Let us look ahead to what

could be a massive night in the swimming pool, a chance for three

gold medals for England. The hottest favourite being Fran Halsall. She

had a great freestyle yesterday. To back it up with the 50 metres

freestyle, in such a QuickTime, it is saved to say she might be on her

own at the front. She is probably after the time as well. That was

significant last night. Not just the medal, but being the fastest ever a

woman. She has a difficult programme. She has got the semifinal

first against the Campbell sisters. Coming in here, the reigning

champion, she was leaps and bounds ahead, I will be surprised if she

does not wing -- win the 50 meter fly. She seems to have a team of

people around her about works and sometimes as an athlete, you need to

take time to find the right people, the right training people. She has

been working a lot on her physical strength and she has been making

sure she does not get too excited. The final of the 50 metres

freestyle. Fran Halsall bearer. Some bigger Australians around her. --

there. She has had a good start. Fast but powerful. There is Cate

Campbell. But it looks like Fran Halsall. She is going well. It will

be tight. She might have it. Yes, she does! 23.96. Fran Halsall is the

Commonwealth champion. A massive shock. That is brilliant.

Fantastic. She matched Cate Campbell stroke for stroke. It will not be

expected by the Campbell sisters. She said in an interview, Bronte

Campbell, called her a pocket rocket. She has done a job on them

here. It was a fingertip touch, but it was the difference between silver

and gold. Fran Halsall is a Commonwealth champion. She is the

hot favourite in the 50 fly. Her final is just after nine o'clock.

Just before that, we have Chris Walker-Hebborn and Liam Tancock in

the 50 meter backstroke final. Liam Tancock is the defending champion.

He is the world record-holder. That was done in the rubber suit. The

suits have changed. It is cool bodysuits back to shorts. Chris

Walker-Hebborn has the confidence, nothing to lose. This is the and for

a Liam Tancock. He has never really lost this event. -- this is the best

event for a Liam Tancock. It is going to be tight. Ben Treffers also

has a chance. It is going to come down to a fingertip touch again.

Chris Walker-Hebborn has the advantage of being amazingly tall,

so when he stretches back, it is a long reach. All those boys are quite

big, especially in the sprinting world. They all seem to be long and

lame compared to the rest of the events, but Chris Walker-Hebborn

said yesterday that he had something up his sleeve for the final. I do

not know if we will see that, but I certainly hope so. I have had lots

of questions asking why England are swimming in Bray caps, there are

hard to identify? -- grey. Wales are in white and red. So many countries

have similar colours, I think that is their way of identifying

themselves. It would make it easier if you had the fly. -- flag. It

cannot be too big. The other gold medal hope, but the fastest

qualifier, is 79-macro. She has had a great week -- Matt Siobhan Marie

O'Connor. She is up against Al Smith, the defending champion, that

is difficult. It will be a great final -- Alicia Coutts. You can see

the countdown going on. There is the start list by the first of our

finals. -- for the first. So Hilary Caldwell is the fastest qualifier.

She was a bronze medallist at the World Championships. Maddie Wilson

is the Commonwealth record-holder. It would be great to see Elizabeth

Simmons back on the medal podium. It has been a while. -- Elizabeth

Simmonds. It would be nice to see her on the podium. The crowd are

getting whipped up. First out is Lauren Quigley. She is from England.

Sinead Russell, the third Canadian in the final. Seven that the World

Championships. The track was seven at the World Championships. 31-macro

from Canada. -- Matt three. Here is Maddie Wilson. -- Madi Wilson. Here

is Belinda Hocking. She is on paper it the fastest. The Canadian is

vast. That Michael is the fastest -- fast. -- is the fastest. The fastest

qualifier for this final. There is Hilary Caldwell. The World

Championship bronze medallist. There is Hilary Caldwell. Elizabeth

Simmonds is in Lane 5. I am looking forward to this, it is wide open. We

have not yet forward to this, it is wide open. We

have seen these ladies firing on the backstroke. We have not seen them

really open up yet. So, the final of the backstroke is underway. A good

start from Lauren Quigley. Another good start from 24. -- Emily

Seebohm. Emily Seebohm will be a threat. Perry Caldwell will come

back quickly, as does Elizabeth Simmonds. -- Hillary called well. --

Hilary Caldwell. Right at the top,
