:01:03. > :01:04.Pitchford and Tin-Tin Ho, their time will come, but didn't they play

:01:05. > :01:33.well? -- for these two. They played their part in a terrific

:01:34. > :01:38.gold-medal match. The Shaw, we will be seeing a lot more of them for --

:01:46. > :01:56.Applause, then, for the victors, as they leave the stage. A brilliant

:01:57. > :02:05.afternoon's work for the Drinkhalls.

:02:06. > :02:12.Just some highlights then found they did it. Paul Drinkhall playing

:02:13. > :02:21.particularly aggressively in the last game, really taking it to the

:02:22. > :02:29.seventh seeds. And there it was on the match point, a dead net cord, to

:02:30. > :02:32.the disappointment of Liam Pitchford. Delight on their faces,

:02:33. > :02:41.gold-medal winners, Paul and Joanna Drinkhall.

:02:42. > :02:49.Joanna, a Commonwealth champion, how does that sound? Amazing! Don't, you

:02:50. > :02:51.are going to start me! Amazing, if you at the beginning of the

:02:52. > :02:55.tournament we would be playing our own team mate in the final, it has

:02:56. > :03:00.been such a great event for endless table tennis. We are just so happy

:03:01. > :03:04.to win. Muted televisions at the end, is that just because of the

:03:05. > :03:09.weight finished with that net cord? Yes they got robbed because of the

:03:10. > :03:14.net, but we got robbed of a proper celebration because of a lucky point

:03:15. > :03:19.to finish on. Great for in this table tennis, like Joanna sat, great

:03:20. > :03:24.for English table tennis. -- like Joanna said. We have

:03:25. > :03:31.how much does it mean to you personally, because I know after

:03:32. > :03:36.Delhi you said you had unfinished as Miss? I came for for medals, I have

:03:37. > :03:41.only got two, but one of them is gold, and it is amazing to win it

:03:42. > :03:46.with Jo being my wife, it is extra special. It is amazing. The way they

:03:47. > :03:51.came back, were you worried at all? We knew they were tough opponents,

:03:52. > :03:54.they are really good players. You have still got another sets to win,

:03:55. > :03:57.you can't finish it there and we are both well experienced to know that.

:03:58. > :04:04.They come up with really good fighting spirit. They made us really

:04:05. > :04:09.fight for the title. I am happy to say we took it. How do you celebrate

:04:10. > :04:15.a gold medal? Bottle of champagne, it has got to be, or a feud. I have

:04:16. > :04:21.got to play a bronze medal match in the women's doubles first, so I will

:04:22. > :04:28.do that, and then... I will cheer them on with a bottle of champagne.

:04:29. > :04:32.I will join him after. Congratulations. Hasn't it been a

:04:33. > :04:36.good day for husband and wife teams? We saw the Adcocks in badminton

:04:37. > :04:40.progressing to the mixed doubles final, and then the Drinkhalls

:04:41. > :04:45.taking the Commonwealth gold. Probably a good time to hand over to

:04:46. > :04:55.Mike television has bid for the last ten days, many shakes Mac LAUGHTER

:04:56. > :04:58.-- my television husband. What a netball match we saw earlier between

:04:59. > :05:02.England and New Zealand, that is the one thing about this Commonwealth

:05:03. > :05:08.Games, I was transfixed as to what was going on in the netball court.

:05:09. > :05:12.It was a great finish. That sums up the Commonwealth Games, that we all

:05:13. > :05:15.become experts for 11 days, and we get really fixated on different

:05:16. > :05:21.sports. Sports that we might never have watch before until Glasgow

:05:22. > :05:26.2014. Good to see you, good afternoon, folks. Here we are,

:05:27. > :05:32.mid-afternoon on day ten of Glasgow 2014. Let's run you through what you

:05:33. > :05:37.can expect between now and the end of the day on BBC Three. In

:05:38. > :05:41.badminton, we will see who can seal their place in the singles and

:05:42. > :05:48.doubles events finals. Coverage to come from the Emirates Arena. We

:05:49. > :05:53.will find out who is closing in on the three gold medals on offer in

:05:54. > :05:56.table tennis. As we head into the evening, it will also feature the

:05:57. > :06:02.women's three-metre springboard final from Edinburgh.

:06:03. > :06:08.We kick off this session with badminton. It is a sport that

:06:09. > :06:11.requires more fancy footwork than those involved on Strickler come

:06:12. > :06:16.dancing. As far as team England are concerned, the third seed is a real

:06:17. > :06:24.medal hope as far as they are concerned. Let's get a handle on how

:06:25. > :06:32.he burst onto the scene in terms of badminton.

:06:33. > :06:40.I have very fond memories of playing in the last game and doing well. It

:06:41. > :06:45.was my breakthrough. Announcing myself on the world stage a bit

:06:46. > :06:55.more. It has been a long time since England had a top-class men's

:06:56. > :07:00.singles player, but it is Rajiv Ouseph through to the final. I did

:07:01. > :07:03.not play as well as I wanted to, but it was something I aspired to, being

:07:04. > :07:08.in the final of the Commonwealth Games. I was in two minds about how

:07:09. > :07:12.I played it that day, but getting the silver medal was probably one of

:07:13. > :07:17.the highlights of my career. The first Englishman for 24 years to

:07:18. > :07:21.reach a Commonwealth Games final in men's singles.

:07:22. > :07:28.If I can do the same as I did last time, I would be very happy.

:07:29. > :07:31.Obviously I would love to do one better. It is going to be tough, but

:07:32. > :07:35.I don't see why I can't produce a few good wins. If I am consistent, I

:07:36. > :07:42.am confident in my ability to come back and win a medal again. We have

:07:43. > :07:46.a very strong team. As one of the older players in the team, I try and

:07:47. > :07:49.use that experience to try and help everyone else, especially in the

:07:50. > :07:54.team event. We did not really perform how we wanted to in the

:07:55. > :07:58.Olympics, so if we can bring back some credibility to badminton by

:07:59. > :08:04.getting medals in these games, I think it might get the interest back

:08:05. > :08:09.up in badminton. It is kind of a semi-home game, so we will have a

:08:10. > :08:12.lot of interest in ourselves again, media and family and friends, so we

:08:13. > :08:17.need to be used that pressure in a positive way. Hopefully I can use my

:08:18. > :08:24.experience from London in a positive way. It is going to be a new

:08:25. > :08:26.experience for us but hopefully that will be something we can bring back

:08:27. > :08:35.a medal or two from. After beating his training partner

:08:36. > :08:42.in the quarterfinals, axed up for Rajiv Ouseph was an Indian opponent,

:08:43. > :08:47.somebody ten one had already beaten earlier. We join the best of three

:08:48. > :08:49.contest with one game all. Don't forget, up for grabs is a place in

:08:50. > :09:09.the final. COMMENTATOR: You have to use that

:09:10. > :09:14.pace. Which has done there. Yes. Just coming back to the point

:09:15. > :09:29.before, I said at the end of the second game, Kashup is very

:09:30. > :09:35.confident. Rajiv Ouseph hast to up the pace in order to secure an

:09:36. > :09:43.earlier finish, than if he is just waiting and playing. An earlier

:09:44. > :09:57.finish within the rally, you mean? Yes, thanks. Presumably it will

:09:58. > :10:00.become very intriguing then because Ouseph will become more attacking

:10:01. > :10:07.and Kashyap will have Ouseph will become more attacking

:10:08. > :10:09.rallies. That is what I love about this chess game we are having. It

:10:10. > :10:55.goes like a yo-yo. The reaction of the rally from

:10:56. > :11:03.Kashyap. Now, something has happened here. Walker, the men's doubles

:11:04. > :11:07.player, has come to the coaching bench because the two Indian coaches

:11:08. > :11:13.have gone on to the adjoining court where the number one seed, PV sin do

:11:14. > :11:19.is play another one single semifinal. She was 9-3 down and now

:11:20. > :13:18.11-10 up in the first game. I think he was in trying to give his

:13:19. > :13:23.advice on the other court first and then coming back here again. Yes, it

:13:24. > :13:28.is difficult for the coaches when he have players on two courts at the

:13:29. > :14:10.same time. And they are both demanding your attention.

:14:11. > :14:23.Oh, yes. What a smash. And what a way to build the rally. This is the

:14:24. > :14:27.way Ouseph can win the match, playing patiently that adding on a

:14:28. > :14:29.little bit of pace when you have two and then go for these big finishes.

:14:30. > :14:49.He has got the better smash of the two players.

:14:50. > :14:55.Here, we have this patients come in between. He has got to run for that

:14:56. > :15:11.one. -- bastions. Well taken. Rajiv Ouseph take the

:15:12. > :15:19.shuttle late in his deep, forehand corner. Lookout he hits this. His

:15:20. > :15:22.opponents know they are going to play the straight drop, and they are

:15:23. > :15:26.moving in. He has do make the physical effort to leap up and take

:15:27. > :15:29.it early, deep in his forehand corner. That is what his coaches

:15:30. > :16:07.asking him to do. -- his coach 's. Well played. Once again, this is a

:16:08. > :16:11.very fine example of playing with patience, waiting for his chance,

:16:12. > :16:14.but having the better attack and a wonderful follow-up comment here. --

:16:15. > :17:20.wonderful follow-up, here. He has got it back! That is good

:17:21. > :17:26.anticipation by Kasia. -- by Kashyap . Rajiv Ouseph showing fatigue after

:17:27. > :17:46.that rally. Look at that retrieving. Yes, look at that, hands on hips.

:17:47. > :17:49.That hurt. Both physically and, I should think, mentally. Yes, it is

:17:50. > :19:17.painful, always. It is wide. Another gruelling rally.

:19:18. > :19:27.This match has now been in progress for example the one hour. It is 1-1,

:19:28. > :19:36.and 6-6 in the deciding game. Oh, it was not wide by much, was it? It is

:19:37. > :19:39.becoming a very, very hard, physical battle between these two players.

:19:40. > :20:15.Who is going to crack first? He missed it. Mental discipline.

:20:16. > :20:16.Yes. It is tough out there. You have been on court for a little over an

:20:17. > :20:32.hour. You have

:20:33. > :20:38.little harsh, that was a good opportunity, he just missed it. Yes,

:20:39. > :20:43.by a whisker. He was just out. It was a good chance to take. But

:20:44. > :20:48.obviously, he should have kept it in. And the game plan of Kashyap is

:20:49. > :21:43.still intact. This is so important, isn't it?

:21:44. > :21:52.Psychologically. It is. And the umpire is not allowing the

:21:53. > :22:15.players to towel down. . I think that is available hard, when

:22:16. > :22:22.the players have just had a rally like that. I know the rules say that

:22:23. > :22:26.play must be continuous. But sometimes you need a little bit of

:22:27. > :22:28.latitude, after a rally like that, and the length of the match. It

:22:29. > :23:08.would be It is another very, very physical

:23:09. > :23:14.rally. But that is interesting. Kashyap is starting to open up, you.

:23:15. > :23:22.What a mistake by Rajiv Ouseph. -- to open up, here. Well, both players

:23:23. > :23:27.physically putting themselves through a gruelling match. And I

:23:28. > :23:29.think when you have long rallies like that, and

:23:30. > :23:31.think when you have long rallies error, rather than your opponent

:23:32. > :23:40.playing a winner, you can devastating, psychologically. But

:23:41. > :23:44.you see coming here, I can see both players wandering around, taking

:23:45. > :23:49.their time. I know the umpire has given Rajiv Ouseph a verbal warning

:23:50. > :23:53.about going and towelling down. And of course, after a verbal warning, a

:23:54. > :23:58.player can get a yellow card, which I believe is a monetary fine, if

:23:59. > :24:02.they break the rules again, and then they can get a red card, which is a

:24:03. > :24:09.points deduction, if they keep breaking the rule after that. Then

:24:10. > :24:12.they get a black card and disqualification. But you have do

:24:13. > :24:16.have an understanding of what these athletes are going through. If both

:24:17. > :24:21.men are taking their time in between points, that is permissible, I

:24:22. > :24:26.think, really. If one was really wanting to go on quickly and the

:24:27. > :24:33.other wasn't, I can understand the umpire's intervention. Yes, but they

:24:34. > :24:37.are going by the letter of the law. Yes, and to be honest, that is why

:24:38. > :24:46.we have rules. I'm not criticising the umpire. But this is a nice

:24:47. > :24:50.little break for Kashyap Parupalli. An important advantage. And twice in

:24:51. > :24:56.the last three rallies, he has been the one opening up on the attack.

:24:57. > :25:03.That is a definite change. Here, we see it again.

:25:04. > :25:29.I think it is right, what he is doing here, Rajiv Ouseph, not going

:25:30. > :25:34.cross court but straight down the line. That is something he has got

:25:35. > :25:40.to do now, when he is in these big matches, he has got to go straight.

:25:41. > :25:44.Every time it is going across, if he is coming back, you has got to do a

:25:45. > :25:48.lot of covering on the court. Yes, because he would have do is cover

:25:49. > :25:53.the full diagonal because if he smashes crosscourt, the obvious

:25:54. > :26:02.reply is a straight block. He has to go. It's matches and the moment. --

:26:03. > :26:05.he has to go for straight smashes. That is a nice winner from Kashyap

:26:06. > :26:10.Parupalli and he has the advantage of the players change ends in this

:26:11. > :26:12.deciding game, a 3-point advantage, to be precise. What has Rajiv Ouseph

:26:13. > :27:04.got left? Has he got the stamina? Well, I'm afraid I did not really

:27:05. > :27:11.catch what the Indian coach was saying to his man. They have got 42

:27:12. > :27:19.languages to choose from! Well, will the 3-point cushion be

:27:20. > :27:59.sufficient? It is going wide. It is. If ever

:28:00. > :28:04.this four points after the change of ends, that you always talk about,

:28:05. > :28:08.you need to get a 3-1 advantage at least, in the first four points

:28:09. > :28:29.after the mid-game interval, if ever that was relevant, it is right now.

:28:30. > :28:41.That is out. Oh, dear. Well, it is called good. It is the sideline in

:28:42. > :29:56.question. That was clearly wide. Good defence. That is in. Amazing.

:29:57. > :30:01.You could see that Kashyap was going on the attack. Rajiv Ouseph, getting

:30:02. > :30:06.ready, and he got it, got a good counterattacking opportunity but did

:30:07. > :30:24.not get through. What a good defence it was from Kashyap, here.

:30:25. > :30:35.Good left, my goodness me, off a tight swingeing net shot, that was

:30:36. > :30:40.wonderful live from Kashyap. This one, the shuttle was upside down, he

:30:41. > :30:43.had to let the shuttle come out of the spin, and the tumble before he

:30:44. > :30:52.could play the lift and to get such... Oh my goodness, DGC that?

:30:53. > :31:00.Yes, a good shot. -- did you see that? Excellent left. And a tight

:31:01. > :31:07.spinning net shot this time from Kashyap.

:31:08. > :31:16.Nothing Rusev can do about that. Good play by Kashyap. -- nothing

:31:17. > :31:31.Ouseph can do about that. A 5-point cushion now.

:31:32. > :31:41.That is wide. Yes, and the body language of tragic to surf,

:31:42. > :31:51.silver-medallist from four years ago -- of Rajiv Ouseph. The

:31:52. > :31:56.disappointment. And now it is a tall, tall order. For the England

:31:57. > :31:58.number one to come back from this sort of a deficit in the deciding

:31:59. > :32:26.game. has got the surplus, physically and

:32:27. > :32:32.mentally, and he is really having a nice follow-up here this late in the

:32:33. > :32:39.match, that is very well done. It certainly is, and he is on a run of

:32:40. > :32:47.six straight points. At 11-10, I thought it was to anyone pleural,

:32:48. > :32:54.50-50. It was, it definitely was -- I thought it was anyone's.

:32:55. > :33:26.You see, I think interesting. Obviously grasping at

:33:27. > :33:32.straws here, in terms of Ouseph, but the shot before that

:33:33. > :33:34.straws here, in terms of Ouseph, but much, much faster attacking player.

:33:35. > :33:41.All of the clears they have played have been very high and very

:33:42. > :34:12.defensive. That change of pace did the damage.

:34:13. > :34:13.from the umpire. Yes, indeed. That is good umpiring. Both you and I

:34:14. > :34:25.We could not hear what Ouseph was thought that was wide.

:34:26. > :34:31.We could not hear what Ouseph was saying. Looking at it again I am not

:34:32. > :34:38.quite as convinced as I was when I watched it the first time.

:34:39. > :34:45.quite as convinced as I was when I goodness. That is tied. Well, well,

:34:46. > :34:57.well. I think that is probably 1-1 on the bad line calls.

:34:58. > :35:08.That is a good smash. And two tantalising points required by the

:35:09. > :35:18.number two seed to book his place in tomorrow's final. It has been 32

:35:19. > :35:24.years since India took a gold medal in the men's singles here at the

:35:25. > :35:25.Commonwealth Games. But only two points needed for the chance to

:35:26. > :35:50.repeat that. Yes, it is time for a serious come

:35:51. > :36:00.back here. 12-19 down in the third game. Yes, well played. And the

:36:01. > :36:07.nearer the finishing line players get, the more nervous they may

:36:08. > :36:12.become. So desperate to win those last couple of points, perhaps, you

:36:13. > :36:18.get a little bit tentative in your play. And that could present an

:36:19. > :37:07.opportunity to Ouseph. There was hesitation there from

:37:08. > :37:16.Kashyap, was he going to leave it? I think he was right to play it,

:37:17. > :37:23.wasn't he? I think so too. Oh, that is brilliant. What a defensive shot

:37:24. > :37:40.from Kashyap. Match point opportunities.

:37:41. > :37:50.Yes, I think it turned out that Kashyap was the stronger physical

:37:51. > :37:57.player of the two. I know it is very premature to say it, still five

:37:58. > :38:02.match points to go, but as the game progressed, I felt that Kashyap was

:38:03. > :38:10.right, he was physically stronger than his opponent. Good defence

:38:11. > :39:17.again. Kashyap, the is not moving at all,

:39:18. > :39:24.he is standing still, he is absolutely standing still -- he is

:39:25. > :39:33.not moving at all. Oh. Look at that, it is over, that is amazing! And

:39:34. > :39:39.that is going out. Oh, it is called good! It is called good! And Kashyap

:39:40. > :39:47.has only just realised that that shot has been called in! He thought

:39:48. > :39:56.he had secured the victory. He cannot believe it. But your point,

:39:57. > :40:05.he was at walking pace earlier in that rally, and the fatigue has

:40:06. > :40:18.suddenly hit Kashyap. Completely. Suddenly hit the wall. My goodness

:40:19. > :40:25.me. Well, I have to say, looking at that again, I think I have sympathy

:40:26. > :40:32.for Kashyap. Let's see if we can have it in slow motion.

:40:33. > :40:43.Oh, my goodness, no, that is out, I thought that was out. My goodness

:40:44. > :40:51.me. Well, we are not in the best position to see. The line judge

:40:52. > :41:00.certainly is. Well, it is all happening here. What a rally. Two

:41:01. > :41:07.match points have come and gone. That rally, 71 shots. Only 71!

:41:08. > :41:17.CHUCKLING Yes, that is amazing, what a match

:41:18. > :41:28.it has been. Yes. Still four match point opportunities for this man.

:41:29. > :41:35.Oh my goodness, I thought he was going to attack that. Me to. -- me

:41:36. > :41:50.too. Oh, would you believe it! The net

:41:51. > :41:52.shot from Ouseph sat on the top of the tape and then decided to go

:41:53. > :42:24.over! Oh my goodness. Extraordinary. Brilliant. Four match points have

:42:25. > :42:25.been brilliantly saved. And only another two opportunities for

:42:26. > :42:47.Kashyap. This time, he converts! Heartache

:42:48. > :42:53.for Rajiv Ouseph, and the bronze-medallist from four years ago

:42:54. > :43:04.beats the silver-medallist from four years ago, reverses the result from

:43:05. > :43:14.Delhi. 18-20 one, 21-17, 21-18 in the third and deciding game. One

:43:15. > :43:21.hour 23 minutes of absolutely pulsate in, wonderful badminton. And

:43:22. > :43:29.after 32 years, India will have the opportunity for gold, once more.

:43:30. > :43:36.As you can see, we have been brave enough to venture outside here, and

:43:37. > :43:40.we have a lovely rendition of amazing Grace from some splendid

:43:41. > :43:44.bagpipers there on the main stage. Just to give you a little flavour of

:43:45. > :43:48.what is going on outside, the rain is coming down a little bit here but

:43:49. > :43:53.it has not dampened enthusiasm of any of the locals. Having a great

:43:54. > :43:56.time. Let's stay with the badminton, to the women's singles, and

:43:57. > :44:01.certainly high hopes amongst the locals for Glasgow native Kirsty

:44:02. > :44:05.Gilmour. She is hoping to become the first Scottish woman to ever reach

:44:06. > :44:12.the singles finals at the Commonwealth Games.

:44:13. > :44:22.We join the action at the start of the second.

:44:23. > :44:30.COMMENTATOR: Morton, I don't know if you've got to hear everything that

:44:31. > :44:35.the Scottish coaches were saying, but I would have thought the best

:44:36. > :44:40.thing to say is you are playing quite brilliantly, keep this going.

:44:41. > :44:46.I love the way you said everything. Because personally I think that was

:44:47. > :44:51.over coaching, that was far too much. The girl here has had a

:44:52. > :44:54.brilliant first game. She has done so many right things. You have to

:44:55. > :44:58.keep it simple and just keep it on track and keep it going. I think it

:44:59. > :45:30.was Great net exchange. She is certainly

:45:31. > :45:42.still determined, as you can see Great net exchange. She is certainly

:45:43. > :45:49.her reaction after the rally. That was a good kill as well. Well

:45:50. > :45:52.played. I thought she had a look towards the umpire? We all do!

:45:53. > :46:14."Please don't say any thing! " She has overdone it. Please have a

:46:15. > :46:16.look at when she is lunging on the net on the forehand side, we get the

:46:17. > :46:46.rally one more time. Lovely, well you have talked about

:46:47. > :46:51.that crosscourt shot from around the head position, as we say it, when

:46:52. > :46:55.you hit down the backhand side but you play with a normal overhead

:46:56. > :46:56.action but it is one of her favourites. Instead of

:46:57. > :46:58.action but it is one of her favourites. Instead going for the

:46:59. > :47:05.power play comic using a good angle. Yes, she plays a very nice

:47:06. > :47:09.reverse sides, there. -- power play, using. It gives our lot of

:47:10. > :47:20.options when she is playing the shop. -- it gives her.

:47:21. > :47:32.Perhaps just losing concentration. Kirsty Gilmour has been using the

:47:33. > :47:38.backhand serve an awful lot. That is presumably, because she does not

:47:39. > :47:42.want to give away the lift and the opportunity for her opponent to play

:47:43. > :47:45.an attacking shot right at the start of the rally. It could be but it

:47:46. > :47:50.could also be the chance to play some variation in her serve, Soho

:47:51. > :47:57.opponent does not settle into a certain kind of rhythm. -- so her

:47:58. > :48:06.opponent. There was the crosscourt shot, again. I think Tee Jing Yi is

:48:07. > :48:12.beginning to look for it now. Perhaps she needs more variation.

:48:13. > :48:16.Verratti 's again. I am still looking for the pumping clear, down

:48:17. > :48:19.the forehand side, in that situation. If you have a very good

:48:20. > :48:23.attacking punch clear from around the head position, and having the

:48:24. > :48:25.crosscourt smash and the Cross reverse slice, then you have good

:48:26. > :48:48.options to play with. That was in. Yes, a misjudgement

:48:49. > :49:28.from Kirsty Gilmour. position, from Tee Jing Yi, not what

:49:29. > :49:34.it was when we saw them play earlier in the tournament in the mixed team

:49:35. > :49:40.competition. Look, she's almost having the left hand on the floor as

:49:41. > :49:48.well. Is that for balance yes. It should be in the legs and not in the

:49:49. > :49:54.hand on the floor. Well, she raises her hand in apology to Kirsty

:49:55. > :50:03.Gilmour. The shuttle, hitting the top of the tape. Just going over.

:50:04. > :50:10.She is not happy with that. But there is nothing you can do. You

:50:11. > :50:16.just have to forget and get on with it. Face it, and that is it. The

:50:17. > :50:19.thing is, when you play, you have to worry about the things you can do

:50:20. > :50:49.something about not the things you can't do anything about.

:50:50. > :51:03.Well, Kirsty Gilmour desperately needs to up her game, here. I think

:51:04. > :51:07.I am going to throw in the mental aspect of this. What I think is that

:51:08. > :51:12.every time we have seen her play, and she has had the option, when

:51:13. > :51:16.they do the toss of the coin, where to stand, or whether she wants to

:51:17. > :51:20.serve, she has always chosen that side, where she played the first

:51:21. > :51:26.game, here, because she loves to play against the drift. Now we are

:51:27. > :51:32.seeing that she is playing quite a lot of shots out on the baseline,

:51:33. > :51:36.playing with the drift. This is definitely not her favourite side.

:51:37. > :51:43.The shuttle flying a little bit faster, coming towards us. That is

:51:44. > :51:47.what we mean by drift. Slight air currents in the arena. That is the

:51:48. > :52:24.case in any large arena. This is a big point and both players

:52:25. > :53:33.sense it. Yes, the psychological effect of that is very important.

:53:34. > :53:40.Well played. We said a moment ago that Kirsty Gilmour needed to our

:53:41. > :53:46.per game and she has certainly upped their intensity and speed of

:53:47. > :53:53.movement. -- to up her game. Good follow-up. The slice down the line

:53:54. > :53:54.and then the follow-up. Imagine if she had that punch clear down the

:53:55. > :54:20.line as well. Well... Looking to take the shuttle

:54:21. > :54:26.to the side rather than in front of her. Totally the wrong timing. Here,

:54:27. > :54:33.we can see. That was not a good shot selection.

:54:34. > :54:42.The Malaysians coach, there. He does not give much away, as usual.

:54:43. > :54:53.It is called good. Kirsty Gilmour does not like the call. Once again,

:54:54. > :54:58.she can do nothing about it. No, the umpire is only allowed to overall if

:54:59. > :55:07.they see a clear error has been made. -- overrule. Goodness me, who

:55:08. > :55:24.would want to be a line judge? Definitely not me.

:55:25. > :55:30.That is going long and that proves your point, that Kirsty Gilmour is

:55:31. > :55:34.struggling to control the shuttle from the far side of the court,

:55:35. > :55:46.playing with the drift. And a 4-point advantage is with the

:55:47. > :56:17.Malaysians. -- Malaysian. Short and sweet,

:56:18. > :56:34.Get some peace back in your rallies again, OK?

:56:35. > :56:41.Kirsty Gilmour, to get some peace back in her rally, it is an

:56:42. > :56:43.indication. Is that what you understood? When you are patient,

:56:44. > :56:47.and you play and you work your understood? When you are patient,

:56:48. > :56:53.rallies, it is a sign of confidence, and I think peace and confidence are

:56:54. > :57:02.one and the same. That is what Chris was saying. It is a language thing.

:57:03. > :57:09.Going back to the point you made about Kirsty Gilmour choosing ends,

:57:10. > :57:14.and choosing her favourite end to start, you know, I suppose it is

:57:15. > :57:20.very much an individual thing with players, but personally, I liked to

:57:21. > :57:29.finish on the best end. She is not doing that. Exactly. But I have been

:57:30. > :57:36.thinking quite a lot about it, and it must be so important to her

:57:37. > :57:39.confidence and her general play, that she is giving herself the best

:57:40. > :57:44.opportunity to win the first game, and having it under her belt is

:57:45. > :57:46.possibly meaning much more to her than having a good side

:57:47. > :57:55.possibly meaning much more to her than having a good at the end.

:57:56. > :58:34.Well played. Fantastic reaction from the fans. CHEERING

:58:35. > :58:39.I don't think she was expecting the previous one to come back, but she

:58:40. > :59:39.was ready and alert, nonetheless. mistakes on the backhand low serve.

:59:40. > :59:49.Another one goes along. I think in this little bit of a

:59:50. > :00:04.desperate situation, 15-9 down, she should be more shots downwards and

:00:05. > :00:13.try to score some winners. Unbelievable. What a net shot, it

:00:14. > :00:53.seemed to take an age. Absolutely dictating the pace of

:00:54. > :01:31.that rally, Gilmour. It is in.

:01:32. > :01:40.What an incredible shot. A tight spending net shot.

:01:41. > :01:48.It is interesting, we talked quite a lot about the fact that Jing Yi Tee

:01:49. > :01:50.maybe tired, but she is having an excellent response to this, making

:01:51. > :01:51.the maybe tired, but she is having an

:01:52. > :02:08.excellent response to racquet talk. She is going tighter to the net,

:02:09. > :02:13.tighter to the line. Really solid shots.

:02:14. > :02:22.Do you not think there ought to be more attacking drop shot from

:02:23. > :02:27.Gilmour down the forehand side? Obviously that is a long-term knee

:02:28. > :02:37.injury and with tired lakes, as you pointed out, launching is a problem.

:02:38. > :02:46.-- tired legs. Yes, I agree. Try to exploit it.

:02:47. > :02:58.Just three points away from a third and deciding game.

:02:59. > :03:10.I think Jing Yi Tee, not only is she winning, but she is winning

:03:11. > :03:20.comfortably. Gilmour is not trying to tire her out. Look at that one

:03:21. > :03:28.again. Nice. The net call this time, for

:03:29. > :03:35.Gilmour. This second game seems to be a very

:03:36. > :03:37.good game for Jing Yi Tee, regards the physical aspect and how it all

:03:38. > :04:43.went. Just look at that delightful

:04:44. > :05:22.She just has to focus, one point at a time, Gilmour. Four straight

:05:23. > :05:28.points, and now just four points the deficit.

:05:29. > :06:13.Incredible. Six straight points, and the nerves of the Malaysian are

:06:14. > :06:29.jangling. Yes, but somehow a statistic is

:06:30. > :06:36.telling me that the Malaysian will get it.

:06:37. > :07:01.Unbelievable. Well played! The arena erupts into applause. Why on earth

:07:02. > :07:06.was Gilmour not doing this sort of rally earlier in this second game?

:07:07. > :07:07.was Gilmour not doing this sort of She is doing now

:07:08. > :07:13.was Gilmour not doing this sort of should have done a long

:07:14. > :07:16.was Gilmour not doing this sort of Attack. When she was 8-15 down, I

:07:17. > :07:26.said, there is only one Attack. When she was 8-15 down, I

:07:27. > :07:45.Just one point of a deficit now. She is back level! This is

:07:46. > :08:03.absolutely extraordinary! A run She is back level! This is

:08:04. > :08:12.eight straight points. What great player,

:08:13. > :08:14.eight straight points. What great And now it is so important for her

:08:15. > :08:20.not to mentally relax, having come back from such a deficit. The

:08:21. > :08:39.anguish on the face of Jing Yi Tee. That is going wide. And now Kirsty

:08:40. > :09:00.Gilmour of Scotland is on the verge of victory! Match point opportunity.

:09:01. > :09:14.My goodness. But she has got it! Kirsty Gilmour, on a run of ten

:09:15. > :09:24.straight points, is through to the final of the Commonwealth Games!

:09:25. > :09:31.Scotland's have only taken one previous medal in women's singles

:09:32. > :09:40.badminton and that was a bronze, they are guaranteed at least a

:09:41. > :09:51.silver here in Glasgow! She hugs her coach, Scottish team-mates give her

:09:52. > :10:01.a standing ovation, and for the record, 21-13, 21-19. And that is

:10:02. > :10:11.one of the most extraordinary comebacks I have ever witnessed! A

:10:12. > :10:18.real lesson to all players. Never, ever give up. You keep fighting.

:10:19. > :11:02.There is always a chance to come back. You live in -19 down in the

:11:03. > :11:04.second game -- your 11-19 down. We will follow Kirsty's progress,

:11:05. > :11:05.second game -- your 11-19 down. We will follow Kirsty's here on BBC

:13:53. > :13:56.Welcome to our continuous coverage of the Commonwealth Games. Our next

:13:57. > :14:05.stop is the national hockey centre. We had down to the last four in the

:14:06. > :14:12.men's event. England have their work cut out against Australia.

:14:13. > :14:22.England in their white and red colours, attacking the goal to our

:14:23. > :14:27.left. Australia, in green and gold, hitting from left to right. This for

:14:28. > :14:36.a place in the final, we are underway. Immediately sent forward

:14:37. > :14:44.by England. Courtesy of Ian Lewis. Highball, it has fallen kindly for

:14:45. > :14:50.Australia, looking for a ball across, penalty corner.

:14:51. > :14:58.Adam Dixon with a little bit of skill.

:14:59. > :15:06.Australia ready to pounce. And it finds the back! What a start for

:15:07. > :15:15.Australia. Tristan white puts them at 1-0 in front. The England keeper

:15:16. > :15:20.looks a little sorry for himself. That was not in the game plan. A

:15:21. > :15:31.soft goal for England to concede, early on in the game. Waite Fox has

:15:32. > :15:42.let it go. It has fallen kindly for Australia. Scored by Simon orchard.

:15:43. > :15:47.That is a mistake. An fox trying to get out of a difficult situation and

:15:48. > :15:56.he gets mugged. Again, Orchard gets the ball on top of the D.

:15:57. > :16:13.counterattacking all the way to the D.

:16:14. > :16:24.Pinna makes the save. Australia still have possession and they are

:16:25. > :16:31.pressuring that goal all the time. Another shot, this one goes behind.

:16:32. > :16:44.Look at that speculative attack by the Aussies. Weir tangling with the

:16:45. > :16:49.Australians. The Australians have poached it again. Attacking

:16:50. > :16:56.England's goal, first shot saved, good save by George Pinner. England

:16:57. > :17:11.with a shooting opportunity, it is gloved away. Orchard for Australia.

:17:12. > :17:19.George Pinner had to react. A flying stick as well as a spinning ball.

:17:20. > :17:22.Into the corner. Plenty of time and space for Australia, they will be

:17:23. > :17:29.looking for an England foot on the ball.

:17:30. > :17:34.looking for an England foot on the of relief for England. Well

:17:35. > :17:42.trapped, a little bit of space opening up for England. Catlin's

:17:43. > :17:51.cross. Just off the foot of the Australian goalkeeper.

:17:52. > :17:57.A chance for a shot on goal and saved by George Pinner. Australia

:17:58. > :18:05.fancy another chance. saved by George Pinner. Australia

:18:06. > :18:10.by Mitton. But George Pinner is equal to him this time. Sharp

:18:11. > :18:19.passing from England here, right to the edge of the D. Chance for an

:18:20. > :18:25.England shot on goal. A little barge on Harry Martin but you have to keep

:18:26. > :18:31.playing. Australia are tough and you have to be tougher in that area.

:18:32. > :18:40.Tristan White, the scorer of Australia's first goal.

:18:41. > :18:50.I am afraid that is too easy. A little change of sites. It does come

:18:51. > :18:56.to Ciriello and it is saved. Ashley Jackson on the left for England.

:18:57. > :19:02.Leading scorer in the tournament with seven, can he add to his tally?

:19:03. > :19:16.And England have a goal! They are back in the match! Condon's goal.

:19:17. > :19:21.Lovely run by Ashley Jackson. Condon, it looks like it went back

:19:22. > :19:27.to Phil Roper eventually. That little ball inside to Jackson. Great

:19:28. > :19:36.pressure by England and they get their reward. Ockenden. We think

:19:37. > :19:44.Harry Martin has been awarded the goal. Meanwhile Australia almost

:19:45. > :19:52.scoring another one. Here is the attempt for Australia. That was

:19:53. > :20:04.close. Brogdon gets a chance. Lovely aerial there. It comes down to

:20:05. > :20:13.Brockton. Into the D at speed. A penalty corner. Here it comes,

:20:14. > :20:28.Ciriello's shot. Another penalty corner. Dan Fox got out to that one.

:20:29. > :20:32.Ciriello, goal, 3-1 Australia. England are checking it, I think

:20:33. > :20:38.they want to use their referral. Everybody wants everything checked.

:20:39. > :20:42.It is a good finish. But the question is... It is definitely

:20:43. > :20:46.stopped outside the circle, was there anything going on? It did not

:20:47. > :20:52.look like it. There is nothing blocking that bought all the target

:20:53. > :21:02.of the ball in there. That is the worst news as far as England is

:21:03. > :21:05.concerned. Dan Fox has got an orange top on and they are allowed to do

:21:06. > :21:10.that which means they have an extra outfield player. I guess that means

:21:11. > :21:18.they have two extra outfield players.

:21:19. > :21:26.Desperate measures employed for England in the dying minutes of this

:21:27. > :21:29.match. Chance of a shot. England still looking for that elusive

:21:30. > :21:40.penalty corner. Nothing coming their way. We are into the last minute and

:21:41. > :21:44.a half of this semifinal. This has bounced kindly for Australia, open

:21:45. > :21:56.goal and he scores! Australia finish it off. Eddie Ockenden with the

:21:57. > :22:03.simplest of finishes. That is the danger. If you can get behind that

:22:04. > :22:08.defence into the D. Harry Wear, a vain dive to stop Ockenden putting

:22:09. > :22:18.that ball in the net. This match is all but over. And Australia have

:22:19. > :22:23.demolished England by four goals to one. They will have to regroup and

:22:24. > :22:30.return on Sunday and battle it out for the Commonwealth bronze medal.

:22:31. > :22:36.Disappointment for the England men's hockey team. Andy Halliday

:22:37. > :22:40.took to social media to vent a bit of frustration. He said, desperately

:22:41. > :22:47.disappointed. Short-term though, recover, regroup and debrief.

:22:48. > :22:52.Because don't forget, they have to play for the bronze medal. Who will

:22:53. > :22:57.they take on for that? New Zealand or India? These two teams took the

:22:58. > :23:02.bronze and silver in Delhi four years ago.

:23:03. > :23:15.COMMENTATOR: That is good work, into the shooting circle and what a start

:23:16. > :23:25.for New Zealand. Courtesy of Simon child. New Zealand's penalty corner,

:23:26. > :23:33.already leading by a goal. A chance to get further ahead. Good running

:23:34. > :23:44.and good defence. New Zealand 2-0 India. Penalty stroke. Dean cousins

:23:45. > :23:52.had no option. He tried to play that with his stick. It was a great

:23:53. > :23:55.strike, very powerful. Penalty stroke for India. To be taken by the

:23:56. > :24:12.captain, Singh. Singh wins. Singh gets one back for India. He

:24:13. > :24:16.takes his time and waits to see which way the goalkeeper is going.

:24:17. > :24:22.Manchester decided to commit one way. And Singh went the other. Two

:24:23. > :24:36.minutes of the first half to play. Bursting out of the box that New

:24:37. > :24:41.Zealand created for him and he sets up for a save from Manchester.

:24:42. > :24:49.Wonderful attacking play, led from the back. New Zealand with a chance

:24:50. > :25:00.to break. Hilton all the way forward. That is disappointing.

:25:01. > :25:10.Simon child missing the target but a lovely break by Hilton.

:25:11. > :25:17.Last 20 seconds of the half. New Zealand still in front. Two early

:25:18. > :25:25.goals, standing them in good stead going into half-time.

:25:26. > :25:34.India are not quite finished yet but they might just get beaten by the

:25:35. > :25:38.hooter. They will now. There it is, the half ends with three goals

:25:39. > :25:48.scored. Two for New Zealand and one form India.

:25:49. > :25:54.The half-time score at the Glasgow National Hockey Centre, New Zealand

:25:55. > :26:08.2-1 India. New Zealand looking pretty strong

:26:09. > :26:15.here. Six yellow shirts back to defend.

:26:16. > :26:26.Child over the top this time. Good positioning, he gets himself set

:26:27. > :26:36.that he is still under me that ball, a bit too high. India pressing. It

:26:37. > :26:44.is all square. Great opportunity for a goal. Look at that bit of skill.

:26:45. > :26:55.Look at that. Superb touch, no chance for Manchester. The ball is

:26:56. > :27:33.driven in. Sunil Has got acceleration.

:27:34. > :27:49.India looking for another way through.

:27:50. > :28:00.Strong work again. Another chance for a shot on goal. It has hit the

:28:01. > :28:10.roof of the net. Great ball in here. It popped off cousin's stick. Superb

:28:11. > :28:25.Sunil down the right. Always a put it in the roof of the net.

:28:26. > :28:27.Sunil down the right. Always a frightening prospect for the New

:28:28. > :28:37.Zealand defence, when he arrives at speed. Great control. What a run by

:28:38. > :28:43.Sunil. What pace down the right-hand side. He managed to get round the

:28:44. > :28:47.back of Bradshaw. Finding his way to the front of the goalkeeper. But by

:28:48. > :28:51.then, Manchester had closed down the space and there was very little he

:28:52. > :29:00.could do there. We are into the final quarter of an hour. There was

:29:01. > :29:01.a stick on it but it was behind for India's possession. Lovely ball

:29:02. > :29:20.across. It was Hugo Inglis. New Zealand with ten minutes to try

:29:21. > :29:29.to make a dent in New Zealand... India's lead.

:29:30. > :29:40.to make a dent in New Zealand... Childs. Picked out Hugo Inglis.

:29:41. > :29:49.Alex Shaw was diving and got a touch on it but ended up flying into the

:29:50. > :29:55.keeper. Great trap, chance of a town and a shot, swing and a miss in the

:29:56. > :29:59.end. He pointed where you wanted the ball

:30:00. > :30:08.before it was delivered, picked at that ball beautifully.

:30:09. > :30:13.New Zealand have an extra outfield player on, they have nothing to

:30:14. > :30:21.lose, five minutes to get a goal and force a penalty shoot out.

:30:22. > :30:24.Drilled force a penalty shoot out.

:30:25. > :30:34.in the possession, minutes to go.

:30:35. > :30:51.A great take out of the air, it popped off the stick, making it

:30:52. > :31:05.dangerous. Kangujam, staying in the corner for

:31:06. > :31:09.a few seconds. It is out of play. Although playing without a

:31:10. > :31:14.goalkeeper is a good boy, not many teams practice it. When you get to

:31:15. > :31:39.this situation it is hard to know how to play. -- a good ploy.

:31:40. > :31:55.This might be the last chance for New Zealand. It is held up by India.

:31:56. > :32:04.Less than 30 seconds. ITime running out now.

:32:05. > :32:15.One end of the pitch to the other. Five seconds. They will not be

:32:16. > :32:21.enough time. India are guaranteed a medal. They will face Australia in

:32:22. > :32:27.the final. New Zealand will need to do battle for bronze against

:32:28. > :32:33.England. What a fightback from India. From two town they struck

:32:34. > :33:11.back -- down. They take the win. I don't know about you but I get the

:33:12. > :33:18.feeling they were quite pumped up by that win. While we have been in

:33:19. > :33:28.Glasgow over the last ten days, one of the buzzwords you hear at any

:33:29. > :33:34.major sporting event is, legacy. If you had three miles out of Glasgow

:33:35. > :33:40.to a place called Drumchapel, the hard graft has been going on from

:33:41. > :33:47.well before the Games began. This is a story about a table tennis club

:33:48. > :33:54.that started off with modest means yet has supplied members of the

:33:55. > :33:57.national team. Drumchapel in Glasgow it used to be

:33:58. > :34:06.one of the toughest housing estates in Britain. The area has improved in

:34:07. > :34:11.recent years and the work in the local sports centre has had a

:34:12. > :34:16.massive influence on young people. There can be issues with your

:34:17. > :34:22.family, school, so we are here to back you up. If you want to play

:34:23. > :34:27.table tennis, we will support you. Most kids are OK if you can get them

:34:28. > :34:31.into doing something. The active, get them when they are younger, then

:34:32. > :34:36.by the time they might have gotten into trouble, they are already

:34:37. > :34:41.involved in something. This is a means to a better life. If they get

:34:42. > :34:50.there, I have done the best I can for them.

:34:51. > :34:55.I started when I was 11. I was at college and not doing particularly

:34:56. > :34:58.well. I started coming here and my confidence has been boosted

:34:59. > :35:04.amazingly. It is all thanks to the club.

:35:05. > :35:10.We started with just one table. Now they are all over the place. People

:35:11. > :35:19.ask, how does Terry find all the Scottish champions? It is because we

:35:20. > :35:23.want it. And I wanted for them. The success of the club is

:35:24. > :35:29.undeniable. It is not just helped thousands of youngsters but numerous

:35:30. > :35:36.international players. It has brought me to where I am

:35:37. > :35:46.today. You find that a lot of people who have been in this club, it gets

:35:47. > :35:50.kids off the street. It allows them to open up more and be more

:35:51. > :35:55.sociable. You never see someone sitting in the corner of themselves.

:35:56. > :36:01.They come out of their shells. It is great to see, especially if they

:36:02. > :36:11.come from a troubled background. This level is not all about winning.

:36:12. > :36:17.You will get there, some will not, but from Drumchapel, to being a big

:36:18. > :36:23.part of the Commonwealth, I am proud of what we have done as a community.

:36:24. > :36:29.What sort of things would you be doing if you are not here?

:36:30. > :36:41.No idea. It keeps me young. I am not young,

:36:42. > :36:47.but I feel young. Just look at them. Great story. If you feel inspired to

:36:48. > :36:54.take up any of the sports, including table tennis, just go to our

:36:55. > :37:04.website. You can get details of local clubs you can join. Staying

:37:05. > :37:18.with the table tennis, because it has been a really busy day for the

:37:19. > :37:25.young rich food. -- Liam Pitchford. His opponent, the number one seed

:37:26. > :37:30.from Singapore. This was a bit of an epic. It is all square going into

:37:31. > :38:30.the final, decisive game. Brilliant running backhand that did

:38:31. > :39:15.the damage from Gao Ning. Great recovery.

:39:16. > :39:26.Whatever happens, this must go down as the match of the Men's Singles

:39:27. > :39:53.event. Every point so closely contested.

:39:54. > :40:01.counted the most, Gao Ning. Is he going to draw away from Pitchford

:40:02. > :40:03.here? It has been a sparkling performance from the man in the

:40:04. > :40:29.yellow shirt. Just when you think top seeds can

:40:30. > :40:46.accelerate away, pegged back by the valiant Pitchford.

:40:47. > :42:02.Every point now greeted by a roar from either end of the table.

:42:03. > :42:39.You sense a small laps in focus from Gao Ning as Pitchford bounces back.

:42:40. > :43:15.Hold on, says Gao Ning, I am not ready.

:43:16. > :43:27.A roar from the Singaporean supporters around the campus. The

:43:28. > :43:37.top seed accelerate away again. This is the final and deciding game.

:43:38. > :44:07.The Princess of Paddington and she is up in a few matches time. But

:44:08. > :44:08.here, Gao Ning has match point. He has quite simply played brilliantly

:44:09. > :44:29.at the back end of this game. It is Gao Ning, the top seed, who

:44:30. > :44:36.has earned his place in the final of the Men's Singles with a quite early

:44:37. > :44:57.and victory -- quite brilliant victory over Liam Pitchford.

:44:58. > :45:06.Let's join the squash now. Our commentators are at the Scotstoun

:45:07. > :46:09.sports campus. A little pat on the back there, a

:46:10. > :46:53.couple of errors. Playing a little staccato at the

:46:54. > :47:56.moment. Trying to find their rhythm a little bit.

:47:57. > :48:03.Pallikal had a real thump against the wall, just checking she is all

:48:04. > :48:07.right, she carried on. When you are in the middle of the rally like

:48:08. > :48:09.that, if you go down, your instant reaction is to get straight back up

:48:10. > :49:05.and stay in the rally. Toogood. Brilliant play from the

:49:06. > :49:13.Indian pair. At the moment, they are the more attacking pair out of the

:49:14. > :49:17.two. You can see why the lower tier, the 13 inches, is so important, it

:49:18. > :49:26.really gives you the opportunity to attack the ball like that. It seems

:49:27. > :49:32.the major differences on the left court with Chinappa and Duncalf.

:49:33. > :49:41.Chinappa seems to have the advantage at the moment.

:49:42. > :50:15.APPLAUSE Reactions are particularly important

:50:16. > :50:24.in doubles. A lot of it is reaction or play. When it comes to you that

:50:25. > :50:26.quick, all you can do is get sure racket out and hit

:50:27. > :50:35.quick, all you can do is get sure not have time to think about it.

:50:36. > :51:00.The Indians are now looking to have three points in this opening game.

:51:01. > :51:14.Pallikal would have demanded a stroke. Massaro in front of her

:51:15. > :51:17.carried on and almost paid the price. In doubles, you know you

:51:18. > :51:55.can't as often get that stroke. Well played. Pallikal with a good

:51:56. > :51:58.finish there. And again, attacking play from the Indians. It is what

:51:59. > :52:29.doubles is all about. And awkward turn for Duncalf.

:52:30. > :52:33.Positioning on the court very important. Yes, sometimes when the

:52:34. > :52:46.ball comes around the corner, it is hard to know when to dive. A break

:52:47. > :52:52.for the English. Duncalf responding, recognising this is very difficult.

:52:53. > :52:53.-- the crowd responding now, recognising that this is very

:52:54. > :53:50.difficult. Just a little high for Duncalf.

:53:51. > :54:05.Pallikal with the finish. Four gain points for India. -- gamer points.

:54:06. > :54:18.Pallikal has been the feature player and she finishes it. First game to

:54:19. > :54:21.India. The number five seeds, 11-6. Very impressive indeed. It is

:54:22. > :54:29.interesting, we were talking earlier about how players, pairings, play in

:54:30. > :54:33.certain ways. You can see the English pair, they are very

:54:34. > :54:38.traditional, they are almost playing singles on the doubles court. There

:54:39. > :54:42.is no variety or real shot play, so they are not really attacking the

:54:43. > :54:49.other pair. On the other hand, the Indian pair are looking to attack

:54:50. > :55:00.and go in short. Lets see if we can pick up some of this. Whenever she

:55:01. > :55:07.crosses, don't linger. Put pressure on them. You are putting the

:55:08. > :55:25.pressure on them. Keep playing like that. Maintain the pressure. Push,

:55:26. > :55:31.push, push. Really good. A terrific time out there. You were saying,

:55:32. > :55:36.aggression beyond the attack? I think that is what doubles is all

:55:37. > :55:41.about. For people watching at home, if you go on to play doubles, don't

:55:42. > :55:47.play singles. You have to attack every single opportunity. You must

:55:48. > :55:52.attack and be aggressive, as the Indian coach was saying. Get the

:55:53. > :55:57.ball down the sides, push them back. If you get the chance, take it,

:55:58. > :56:01.don't look at it, take it! And that is what they are doing. If the

:56:02. > :56:05.English pair want to get back into this, they have to try to swap this

:56:06. > :56:14.role around, they have to start attacking and look for the play and

:56:15. > :56:23.create opportunities. It was a comprehensive first game in the end.

:56:24. > :56:28.How will Massaro and Duncalf counter this? Will they take a few more

:56:29. > :56:41.risks? They cannot afford not to. Otherwise they will lose, 2-0. Here

:56:42. > :56:47.we go with game number two. In this gold medal match in the women's

:56:48. > :56:56.doubles. Pallikal and Chinappa for India. Up number one seeds. Laura

:56:57. > :57:05.Massaro and Jenny Duncalf from England. Pallikal and Chinappa to

:57:06. > :57:50.begin game number two. Magnificent rally. They are looking

:57:51. > :58:23.for a let. Interesting, Duncalf looking for

:58:24. > :58:29.that little trickle toast, she was going towards the middle. And

:58:30. > :58:35.Chinappa change to mind and played the drop. Great attacking play. --

:58:36. > :58:48.Chinappa changed her mind. She says it is up.

:58:49. > :58:54.The referee's decision is a let. There was a hint of a double hit and

:58:55. > :59:09.she was convinced it was not. APPLAUSE

:59:10. > :59:16.This is the start the English wanted and the crowd starting to get

:59:17. > :59:22.involved. Duncalf will play this one on the right court.

:59:23. > :59:29.APPLAUSE things suddenly looked as if they

:59:30. > :59:55.might be changing. Super from the English. Doing just

:59:56. > :59:59.what you wanted. It is what they have got to do, they have got to

:00:00. > :00:02.attack. The last three points, they have attacked the ball when the

:00:03. > :00:18.opportunity has come and now they are leading.

:00:19. > :00:34.If she had turned and hit it, it could have been dangerous.

:00:35. > :01:26.She made very few mistakes. Chinappa with one fair. -- there.

:01:27. > :01:39.What play from Duncalf. Not too sure who

:01:40. > :01:55.was going to take that but Duncalf, good decision.

:01:56. > :02:06.Not put off there, Chinappa, wonderful it'll finish in the front

:02:07. > :02:32.court. So cool. -- wonderful little finish.

:02:33. > :02:38.Down it was. Just if you mistakes coming now from the Indian duo. That

:02:39. > :02:55.one from Pallikal. It is 7-2. A little bit of

:02:56. > :03:16.barracking but we are where we should be.

:03:17. > :03:22.It will be fascinating to see how the Indians counter this, if they

:03:23. > :04:12.are able to. They need to hold their nerve.

:04:13. > :04:21.pair. -- it was good play from the Indian pair. Always tough to come

:04:22. > :04:34.back from such a big deficit but they have not been deterred.

:04:35. > :04:43.Massaro not getting out of the way. Obviously, doubles rarely play on

:04:44. > :04:48.the squad circuit. Only the Commonwealth Games and a lead up

:04:49. > :04:49.tournament, so the standard has got better and better as each match has

:04:50. > :05:28.evolved through the stages. No. Their run of points comes to an

:05:29. > :05:31.end. A bit of pressure now for the English girls. Started well and they

:05:32. > :05:37.were being more attacking but the attacking shots are going down at

:05:38. > :05:54.the moment. Four points now on the spin for the Indian pair.

:05:55. > :06:03.Conversation between Massaro and Duncalf. It is interesting to note

:06:04. > :06:05.that they quite often switch which side of the court they are playing

:06:06. > :06:31.on, trying to mix things up. That is a gorgeous shot from

:06:32. > :06:34.Chinappa. She has been on this left court for this whole time, Massaro

:06:35. > :06:40.mostly on the right court but not all of the time. Jemma there was an

:06:41. > :06:41.opportunity for Jenny to go for that drop shot but she chose to drive and

:06:42. > :07:22.she should have dropped. So good. From 7-2 down, India now

:07:23. > :07:27.ahead in this second game. Great finish again from Pallikal. It takes

:07:28. > :07:32.nerves to be a champion. All the girls know that on court but right

:07:33. > :07:44.now, it is that young lady. She is doing the job.

:07:45. > :07:56.Yes. So clever. They have lost their way a little bit in the start of

:07:57. > :08:01.this game but they have come back to the correct tactics and they are

:08:02. > :08:07.just mixing it up dutifully. -- beautifully. Two points from the

:08:08. > :08:53.gold medal. She was racing forward. Can you

:08:54. > :09:04.imagine the pressure they feel under right now?

:09:05. > :09:18.And lumping together between Massaro and Pallikal.

:09:19. > :09:27.No let! Duncalf asking for it but not given. And here are three gold

:09:28. > :09:46.medal points. Not quite. Can the English possibly

:09:47. > :10:27.rescue this right at the death? Wonderful! Two real heroines of

:10:28. > :10:37.India. Pallikal and Chinappa, they were just brilliant. 7-2 down in the

:10:38. > :10:44.second game. They have ended up with the gold medal. India's first ever

:10:45. > :10:49.squash gold medal. Absolutely wonderful. At the start of the

:10:50. > :10:53.tournament, they were looking so strong in the doubles, they looked

:10:54. > :10:57.like they had really been practising the doubles. It was their greatest

:10:58. > :11:05.chance of a medal here at the Commonwealth Games. And they have

:11:06. > :11:12.just proved it. CHEERING Quite often it is not necessarily

:11:13. > :11:16.the singles players, the best singles players that come through in

:11:17. > :11:20.the doubles. It is those that have been practising and learning the

:11:21. > :11:23.tactics of the game and that is just shown by the Indian players. They

:11:24. > :11:36.use the space and the cord beautifully. -- and the court

:11:37. > :11:40.beautifully. Beaming smiles. Pallikal on the left turn down a

:11:41. > :11:45.Bollywood movie role because she wanted to play squash. She will now

:11:46. > :11:51.be as big a star as some of those Bollywood stars. I am guessing she

:11:52. > :11:55.is happy she made that decision. She would not be sitting here right now

:11:56. > :12:02.if she had not. What a proud moment for both of them and for India. Just

:12:03. > :12:06.superb. You have to feel for these two, silver-medallists four years

:12:07. > :12:14.ago in Delhi and silver-medallists again. It is a tough one. They have

:12:15. > :12:18.been there before. But they played singles on a doubles court and you

:12:19. > :12:22.just cannot do that against players that play the doubles game really

:12:23. > :12:28.well. They did not use the space, they did not attack enough or move

:12:29. > :12:31.them around. For a tiny period in that second game, they were

:12:32. > :12:35.attacking more and it made the difference but then they stopped

:12:36. > :12:39.again and that is the result. They used the centre of the court so

:12:40. > :12:45.well. Hitting short down the centre. The Indian pair pulled both Massaro

:12:46. > :12:49.and Duncalf out to the wings and that left the middle part of the

:12:50. > :13:07.court to use and they cannot get to the ball when they are so far wide.

:13:08. > :13:19.space better and you look back and think they were things you could

:13:20. > :13:24.definitely do that were different, but in the heat of the moment, that

:13:25. > :13:28.is doubles and it goes very quickly. It is hard to explain

:14:07. > :14:10.singles specialists? They are not too bad on the single squad either

:16:54. > :17:14.Drinkhall, husband of Jo. Luo, the youngest player at the

:17:15. > :17:17.table, on the left of your picture, she qualified for the youth Olympic

:17:18. > :17:41.games which starts on August 17. She is wrestling with the heavy back

:17:42. > :17:46.spin from Joanna Drinkhall. And of course she releases that style of

:17:47. > :18:02.opponent from where she is from -- she rarely sees. A fantastic

:18:03. > :18:17.combination when Sibley is firing on all cylinders. The English duo art

:18:18. > :18:29.of two -- are tough to defeat. They make a good team as do the Drinkhall

:18:30. > :18:40.husband and wife, as we saw earlier, winning a medal in the mixed.

:18:41. > :18:49.Remember, the Canadians were leading 3-1, there has been a shift in

:18:50. > :18:58.momentum. Zhang, trying to claw it back to level.

:18:59. > :19:09.Again, good acceleration from Zhang, she is definitely the captain

:19:10. > :20:05.of the team. Picking those high balls off really well.

:20:06. > :20:14.the 17-year-old, who is just conceding a few unforced errors.

:20:15. > :20:36.First blood to the English team. A race to three games, best of five.

:20:37. > :20:49.Drinkhall and Sibley in good shape, 11 - six. The combination of the

:20:50. > :20:57.extreme top from Sibley, tough to get a read on what is coming next.

:20:58. > :21:09.Nicky Jarvis, coach of the woman. He has a rich sporting heritage running

:21:10. > :21:21.through his family, he is the father of Matt Jarvis, the 28 old West Ham

:21:22. > :21:36.player. Of course, Matt Jarvis had an England cap in 2011. There is a

:21:37. > :21:42.real buzz around the English table tennis players right now after what

:21:43. > :21:54.they did in the mixed event. There is the Canadian team, Terry Alton in

:21:55. > :22:01.the middle. Zhang, and Luo, looking very pensive. The 17-year-old to

:22:02. > :22:09.serve, from the far end of the table.

:22:10. > :22:17.A well blended point from the Canadians. Dealing well with the

:22:18. > :22:33.extreme changes in spin from the English pair.

:22:34. > :22:39.Remember, in the first game, the Canadians raced into a 3-1 lead,

:22:40. > :23:28.then lost their way. two and a half hours on court over

:23:29. > :24:13.the duration of their four Mac matches played to get here.

:24:14. > :25:01.A little lacking commitment last shot.

:25:02. > :25:19.They are a real cagey duo, these two, with a wealth of medal

:25:20. > :25:26.experience between them. Just a blur of red down one end, a bit like a

:25:27. > :25:33.Catherine wheel at a fireworks party, Sibley, full of energy and

:25:34. > :25:49.desperate for another medal to add to her telly.

:25:50. > :26:22.Zhang, with the second of the two conflab. They are in a good place, a

:26:23. > :26:28.game to the good. It sat up and you need to dictate these heavily spun

:26:29. > :27:37.oncoming balls. Great play at the back end of this

:27:38. > :27:42.came from the Canadians. I watched Zhang in some singles matches,

:27:43. > :27:51.came from the Canadians. I watched Zhang in some singles she defeated

:27:52. > :27:59.the 15th seed from New Zealand. So, the English team have called a

:28:00. > :28:03.time-out. That will be Nicky Jarvis, whilst they are in the

:28:04. > :28:12.ascendancy, deciding on a great time to do it. He does not want to let

:28:13. > :28:19.this situation slide. Some examples of the extreme different shots

:28:20. > :28:29.between the English duo. Look at the heavy spin from Drinkhall, and its

:28:30. > :28:38.effect. Another chop from her, and then the heavy loop from Sibley. It

:28:39. > :28:47.is very tough, as opponents, to play against both those extremes.

:28:48. > :29:04.Still game point. The quest for bronze. Good return from Zhang, it

:29:05. > :29:07.cut through the table very fast. Very much the captain of the team,

:29:08. > :29:15.Zhang. Two points clear, remember, to win

:29:16. > :29:59.the game, from 10-10. the served to go so she can make the

:30:00. > :30:09.first strike attack. A great return from Anqi Luo and they lost the

:30:10. > :30:27.point none the same. They are two thirds of the way to the B for

:30:28. > :30:33.bronze. Mickey Jarvis, delighted. If you did not see our earlier

:30:34. > :30:40.coverage, Joanna Drinkhall, won the mixed doubles and her partner took

:30:41. > :30:46.the bronze in the mixed doubles with Danny Wead. And Tin-Tin Ho and Liam

:30:47. > :30:53.Pitchford took the silver to cap it all. A clean medal sweep for the

:30:54. > :31:04.English in mixed doubles earlier today. Remarkable. History was made

:31:05. > :31:10.today. Sibley bouncing around with bundles of energy. This is the last

:31:11. > :31:17.day of the table tennis event. Tin-Tin Ho, the adventures, there

:31:18. > :31:22.she is with a mouthful! Just refuelling. She has worked very,

:31:23. > :31:40.very hard. 15 years old, what a future she has.

:31:41. > :31:47.The idea was right from Kelly Sibley, she had to go after it.

:31:48. > :31:49.There is Paul Drinkhall in the back of the picture. In his red and white

:31:50. > :32:40.tracksuit. Suddenly, the body language looks a

:32:41. > :32:52.little deflated from the Canadians as they head towards a time-out

:32:53. > :32:54.called. Their coach is the mother of Anqi Luo on the right of the picture

:32:55. > :33:08.as well as the team coach. Let's look at what they are up

:33:09. > :33:17.against a day. The heavy knife slice from Joe Drinkhall and then the flat

:33:18. > :33:21.or topspin loops from Sibley. Two extremes, very tough to play

:33:22. > :33:30.against. You can see the error there will stop drawn from the English

:33:31. > :33:32.team. To her frustration. She is one for stamping her feet on the floor,

:33:33. > :33:55.is Zhang. Great play from Zhang. That was a

:33:56. > :34:35.well constructed point, plenty of spin on those balls from Zhang.

:34:36. > :34:45.Wow, now that is one way to kill the point. CHUCKLES

:34:46. > :34:48.Menacing finish. A heavy, heavy slice but it landed right in the

:34:49. > :34:51.belly of the table and sat up and got what it deserved. She almost had

:34:52. > :35:02.a late lunch! Canadians ramping up the power now.

:35:03. > :35:30.Rushing the English pair. Very cagey punt from both sides of

:35:31. > :35:51.the net. But the women in red coming good in the end. Great accuracy.

:35:52. > :35:57.these points are cushy knows it is the last chance saloon. The English

:35:58. > :36:06.are just compounding the pressure. Fabulous return from Kelly Sibley.

:36:07. > :36:54.Onto it in a heartbeat. Confidence allowing the English duo

:36:55. > :37:01.to play with a little bit more freedom. A little bit more pop to

:37:02. > :37:07.everything they do now. freedom. A little bit more pop to

:37:08. > :37:53.enough topspin on that one though. Keeping the energy up in

:37:54. > :38:01.camp as the Canadians are reducing the deficit here, scrapping well.

:38:02. > :38:05.The youngsters showing a lot of tenacity here.

:38:06. > :38:08.the deficit here, scrapping well. The youngsters showing And a little

:38:09. > :38:12.bit of luck with the edge ball, just finding the paint on the end nine.

:38:13. > :38:30.-- line. That, they cannot afford, and

:38:31. > :38:35.certainly not at this stage. They have had a real stranglehold over

:38:36. > :38:36.this game from the off but the Canadians doing well to wrestle the

:38:37. > :38:51.advantage they way. Kelly Sibley had a chance but she

:38:52. > :38:58.hesitated. Just prodded it back only for the Canadians to take advantage.

:38:59. > :39:17.Game point to Canada. They are still in it, the Canadians.

:39:18. > :39:41.They have won the third game out here, 11-8.

:39:42. > :40:11.The coach and mother to Anqi Luo, giving wise words.

:40:12. > :40:17.Here is how the Canadians sadly in this last game, are dealing with

:40:18. > :40:22.Joanna Drinkhall's slice. That was not a great example because it was

:40:23. > :40:26.so short but there is another, right through the middle of the table, it

:40:27. > :40:29.has got to be deeper than that. Zhang getting on the front foot

:40:30. > :41:00.quite a lot in that last game. Fabulous start down the parallel.

:41:01. > :41:12.Watch how she gets hold of this, her body weight just leaning through it.

:41:13. > :41:18.Generally, the Canadians are asking a lot more questions than the

:41:19. > :41:51.English women now. It is a much more even contest.

:41:52. > :41:55.game, the Canadians racing away to a three - one lead. At this stage, it

:41:56. > :41:56.is about here year where they lost their momentum. They have to keep up

:41:57. > :42:28.that good work and build. Brilliant combo from the win in red.

:42:29. > :42:34.-- the women in red. Watch how much chop Drinkhall gets on that. And

:42:35. > :42:46.then the follow up from the killer. Killer Kelly.

:42:47. > :42:53.She was moaning that error. Drinkhall. Chuntering to herself.

:42:54. > :43:33.They cannot believe they missed it. Brilliant put away from Kelly

:43:34. > :43:40.Sibley. A response to drink all's heavy, knife slice, they have to hit

:43:41. > :43:42.with loop and it just sits up high after the bounce, much to the

:43:43. > :44:20.delight of the blond haired Kelly Sibley.

:44:21. > :44:37.feint edge ball. Alan Hopkins, well aware that it just kissed the edge

:44:38. > :44:43.of the table. Sibley, just tying up Zhang, who is always a very animated

:44:44. > :45:08.when she was a point. In contrast, the coach is not.

:45:09. > :45:24.A packed house at Scotstoun for this women's doubles bronze medal match.

:45:25. > :45:43.The goal match up next after this -- gold. The final will be between the

:45:44. > :46:15.top two seeds, Singapore versus Australia.

:46:16. > :46:35.Brilliantly put together point! constructed. Real extreme shots from

:46:36. > :46:47.the English duo, heavy top two finish.

:46:48. > :47:08.Nicky Jarvis, incessantly chewing gum. Ala Alex Ferguson.

:47:09. > :47:31.By Drinkhall's high standards, she has made a few unforced errors in

:47:32. > :47:33.this game. Great play, Luo. Just trying to keep their energy levels

:47:34. > :47:58.up. Critical moments in the match.

:48:25. > :48:33.the moment. It Tense, cagey

:48:34. > :48:39.your strengths against your opponents weaknesses. Consistency

:48:40. > :49:06.has to be there. Again, the telling slice, cut from

:49:07. > :49:50.Drinkhall, yielding the error from Zhang. Bronze medal point for the

:49:51. > :50:01.Ever so feint edge there, just completely falling away. That is

:50:02. > :50:22.cruel. Game point to the Canadians. We said at the outset of this

:50:23. > :50:26.tournament that matches like this are decided by the smallest

:50:27. > :50:36.increments. A millimetre here or there. And edge ball, like on the

:50:37. > :51:03.penultimate point. A laps in concentration. Tied now at 12-12.

:51:04. > :51:17.Second game point for the Canadians. Sibley's serve. Well

:51:18. > :51:25.played, Canada. That was a terrific game from them. They fended off a

:51:26. > :51:33.match point. We now go the distance on table one. 2-2. The vital fifth

:51:34. > :51:51.game will be played in a couple of minutes.

:51:52. > :52:03.Brilliantly played game point from the Canadians. Luo, just sticking

:52:04. > :52:13.the knife in. Suddenly, all the momentum they build early in the

:52:14. > :53:02.match, 11-6, 12-10 out, it has now dissipated and we have parity.

:53:03. > :53:19.They are having to ill from a fresh start -- build. Off to a flyer.

:53:20. > :54:31.Sibley, pacing around anxiously. She can feel this lead just sleeping

:54:32. > :54:37.like sand through her fingertips. -- seeping. Greeted with a roar. They

:54:38. > :54:45.both understand the significance of these individual points. As he does,

:54:46. > :54:47.as well. Absolutely transfixed by the action on table one down below

:54:48. > :55:38.him. Shaking her head in disbelief,

:55:39. > :55:43.Joanna Drinkhall. Unusually for her, normally so solid all-round. She is

:55:44. > :55:50.just making a a few unforced errors today.

:55:51. > :56:03.That ball just deviated from left to right on our picture, from

:56:04. > :56:21.Drinkhall. She had so much cut on it. You feel for her, actually. That

:56:22. > :56:27.was a tough, tough shot. Brilliant point from the Canadians. Redeeming

:56:28. > :56:42.themselves after the penultimate point. Zhang, so compact in her

:56:43. > :56:45.take-back. Just one point between them, in favour of the Canadians, in

:56:46. > :57:46.this vital fifth game. This is what it is all about, the

:57:47. > :58:20.bronze medal match of the women's doubles.

:58:21. > :58:34.Requiring another good serve to draw level. Fantastic play from Zhang,

:58:35. > :58:39.ever alert, she has been right on top of the table to great effect.

:58:40. > :58:55.Look how quickly she pounces. That was never coming back.

:58:56. > :59:06.Another example of the inexperience against the heavy slice. Luo, where

:59:07. > :59:33.she is from, she does not see a lot of this, and it is for -- for.

:59:34. > :00:15.Tonight really good points from Drinkhall.

:00:16. > :00:18.Tonight really good points from vital game. That is three points,

:00:19. > :00:33.indicating how tense she is right now. As the bronze medal seems to be

:00:34. > :00:45.so close. The pressure paralyse is -- paralyses some people. It brings

:00:46. > :00:48.out the best in him. Having saved a match point, the Canadians, in the

:00:49. > :00:58.fourth game, they now have a match point of their own.

:00:59. > :01:46.Looking good there. Just solid. So they now have a second match point.

:01:47. > :01:58.Remember, they saved one in the fourth game.

:01:59. > :02:10.CHEERING The Canadians are the bronze

:02:11. > :02:23.medallists in the women's doubles event. Delight and disappointment,

:02:24. > :02:27.the twin emotions out here. What a day for these two, they played so

:02:28. > :02:33.well to turn it around and they are just elated. Fantastic work from

:02:34. > :02:39.them. They saved a match point and they took it on their own, the

:02:40. > :02:46.second match point. 3-2, the Canadians go through. I am looking

:02:47. > :02:54.at you shaking your head, that says it all? It is disappointing to be so

:02:55. > :02:58.close. We had the lead, we were 2-0 up and they improved their game

:02:59. > :03:05.after that. We failed to pick it back up again. That's it, to be

:03:06. > :03:16.honest. Three difficult matches, how much did fatigue play a part? Not

:03:17. > :03:22.really, you can yourself up, and they upped their game. -- you can

:03:23. > :03:30.gee yourself up. How disappointing is it to miss out on this medal? It

:03:31. > :03:36.would have been nice to go out with two. Iron devastated but it is one

:03:37. > :03:41.of those things, I guess. -- I am. Can you sum up the Games? It has

:03:42. > :03:52.been a positive gains that space Games. It has been really good. --

:03:53. > :03:58.it has been a positive Games. You think you have no chance in a

:03:59. > :04:04.match... It was so close. Congratulations on a fantastic

:04:05. > :04:07.Games. Bad luck for team England as far as the table tennis there is

:08:15. > :08:29.In addition of course, Lei has been playing in two events and has been

:08:30. > :08:35.losing in the women's doubles. In that regard it is stacked against

:10:14. > :10:32.their own pace. And in doing so, lifting it long. A really tight

:10:33. > :10:36.first half of the first game, lifting it long. A really tight

:10:37. > :11:26.been more than a single point between the pairs. That was clever.

:11:27. > :11:55.It is very important and significant that the Scots won it.

:11:56. > :12:03.The normal reason that the umpire calls the players is to suggest that

:12:04. > :12:11.they are taking too much time between the rallies. Again, that was

:12:12. > :12:18.too between the rallies. Again, that was

:12:19. > :12:27.flat from Chan. A useful 2-point advantage at the mid-game interval

:12:28. > :12:57.for Blair and Imogen Bankier. These are the Malaysian coaches.

:12:58. > :13:52.UMPIRE: 20 seconds, 20 seconds. Andy Berman, coaching the Scottish

:13:53. > :13:58.couple. Well, that was a real chance with the crosscourt. Yes, it's a

:13:59. > :14:02.pity because I thought earlier with the crosscourt. Yes, it's a

:14:03. > :14:06.the rally that Imogen Bankier had got back that spark that we saw

:14:07. > :14:14.earlier, especially during the mixed team competition. This morning in

:14:15. > :14:15.her semifinal she did get a little flat, a little frustrated with

:14:16. > :15:45.herself. Malaysians have had a two point

:15:46. > :15:54.advantage. On five of the last six points. He

:15:55. > :16:44.has missed at! I think it might develop into a

:16:45. > :16:49.battle between the to match winning at the front of the court, once

:16:50. > :17:04.again. Whoever can control the front court area, the net...

:17:05. > :18:22.Four straight points for the Scots. It is OK for length, but it was

:18:23. > :18:45.wide. Keir Starmer. He is all right, I

:18:46. > :18:50.think. He just lost his balance. I do not think he has twisted his

:18:51. > :18:51.ankle. He looks to be OK. He looks to be walking OK. I think he just

:18:52. > :20:02.lost his balance. That is going to go wide as well.

:20:03. > :20:06.Good placement of the attacking smashes from the back of the court

:20:07. > :20:11.from Robert Blair, but look at Imogen Bankier's movement of the

:20:12. > :20:18.shuttle. It is absolutely superb. She's always adjusting her position,

:20:19. > :20:21.really hunting to look for the shuttlecocks, and the way she is

:20:22. > :20:43.taking the pace out is just brilliant.

:20:44. > :21:08.Seven of the last eight points have been one won by the Scots.

:21:09. > :21:34.It is going wide. And he knows it. He has realised it.

:21:35. > :21:48.Immediately looks down towards the line. Just trying to get his spatial

:21:49. > :22:05.awareness. Good return. It takes them into three game points.

:22:06. > :22:28.The first game is won by Robert Blair and Imogen Bankier, 21-17.

:22:29. > :22:40.The first game is won by Robert 12-15 down, they looked in trouble.

:22:41. > :22:50.When you get them off-balance... Step in to take away from it. They

:22:51. > :23:06.are trying to turn it. Well I hope you can pick up some of

:23:07. > :23:07.what the coaches are saying. It is difficult to here with all these

:23:08. > :23:29.announcements. From the hand gestures, it looks as

:23:30. > :23:37.if the Malaysian coach wants Lai Pei Jing to hunt for the push down

:23:38. > :24:25.around the head side. Especially after she has blocked it at the net.

:24:26. > :24:36.Looking for that push down her back and decide is what the coach, the

:24:37. > :24:37.Malaysian coach, was telling her to look out for, and she missed it on

:24:38. > :25:05.the first point of the second game. Well played by Lai Pei Jing.

:25:06. > :25:07.Backhand side to that, around the head position. It is about time she

:25:08. > :25:18.was alert to it. She has served very well throughout

:25:19. > :25:38.the tournament, Lai Pei Jing. Good work, especially by Imogen

:25:39. > :26:13.Bankier. I think just a little block would

:26:14. > :27:20.have sufficed, rather than trying to put a bit of pace on it.

:27:21. > :27:45.The Malaysians need to rethink the game plan of blocking the initial

:27:46. > :27:49.one from Chan Peng Soon. Both the Scottish players are looking to come

:27:50. > :27:50.forward. We have seen it from Imogen Bankier already, but that time it

:27:51. > :28:01.was Robert Blair. Has missed it. Serious faces on the Malaysian

:28:02. > :28:54.bench. Real hesitation on the defence there

:28:55. > :28:58.from Chan Peng Soon. Was he expecting his partner to take it? He

:28:59. > :29:02.is talking to her and saying, you have got to move your base further

:29:03. > :29:45.across towards the centre of the court.

:29:46. > :29:49.awfully careful here. They cannot let the Scottish combination get too

:29:50. > :29:50.far in front, because with the home support, they will find it difficult

:29:51. > :30:04.to come back. It had a think about it, didn't it?

:30:05. > :30:31.Coming down on the Malaysian side. Well, I wonder if the Malaysians

:30:32. > :30:35.have been instructed to play the return of serve deep into the back

:30:36. > :30:47.boxes. That is a couple we have seen now and it has worked both times.

:30:48. > :31:36.Lovely interception by Imogen Bankier. They have a large lead at

:31:37. > :31:47.the interval. Six points. .. Smashing is not very hard... The

:31:48. > :32:00.forehand side... Just comes into the short... Waiting for it...

:32:01. > :32:08.UMPIRE: 20 seconds, 20 seconds. .. So much better, dominating from the

:32:09. > :32:46.A tired looking Chan, there. The word go...

:32:47. > :32:50.A tired looking Chan, there. The instruction from the coaches was, to

:32:51. > :32:58.the Scottish player, dominate from the start of the resumption, Imogen

:32:59. > :33:03.Bankier is to go forward to the net and advising Blair about varying the

:33:04. > :33:20.shots and angle when hitting down. Out! And the lead is up to nine

:33:21. > :34:31.points. CHEERING

:34:32. > :34:34.Well, that is exactly what the coaches were asking for,

:34:35. > :34:41.concentrating on the angle of the smash. An acute angle rather than

:34:42. > :34:59.full power, using his height, leaping in the air.

:35:00. > :35:36.CHEERING Well, this is devastating now.

:35:37. > :35:55.Could not get out of the way, Imogen Bankier.

:35:56. > :36:04.That was a good serve. GROANS FROM CROWD

:36:05. > :36:13.Again, fatal hesitation. And confusion. But they are still nine

:36:14. > :36:22.points in front and that should be enough.

:36:23. > :37:17.APPLAUSE Well, another error from Lai Pei

:37:18. > :37:26.Jing. CHEERING Yes, the service errors are coming

:37:27. > :37:42.rather rapidly. These are 11 bronze medal points for Blair and Bankier.

:37:43. > :38:41.That was a pity. My word, that was close. It was a

:38:42. > :38:42.wonderful shot from Chan Peng Soon. The Malaysians have been on the

:38:43. > :39:09.attack. CHEERING

:39:10. > :39:47.Yes! Into the open space. APPLAUSE Imogen Bankier, who decided to leave

:39:48. > :39:54.the Great Britain set up and move back to Scotland. She will feel now

:39:55. > :40:07.that that decision has been fully vindicated. 21-17, 21-11. Scotland

:40:08. > :40:12.have a second medal from the badminton competition because

:40:13. > :40:21.remember Kirsty Gilmour goes for goal to in the women's singles

:40:22. > :40:26.tomorrow. -- gold. Heartbreak for Chan and Lai, they played so well in

:40:27. > :40:35.this magnificent match. Putting out the second Singaporean partnership.

:40:36. > :40:44.21-19 in their quarterfinal, and that took an awful lot out of them.

:40:45. > :40:50.Well, what character, to come through that match by Blair and

:40:51. > :41:04.Bankier. The emotion at the end, really revealing, just how much that

:41:05. > :41:13.meant to them. Well, as they pose for the photographers, the counters

:41:14. > :41:16.of Wessex -- Countess. Giving them a standing ovation along with the

:41:17. > :41:30.other dignitaries here at the Emirates arena. STUDIO: Many

:41:31. > :41:37.congratulations to Imogen Bankier and Robert Blair, picking a bronze.

:41:38. > :41:44.Adding to the hall at Scotland's best ever Commonwealth Games

:41:45. > :41:50.showing. Very well done to them. -- haul. That an ultimate day of the

:41:51. > :41:55.Commonwealth Games and even before the games had started, Day ten was

:41:56. > :41:58.always seen as a potentially historic day over at the SECC

:41:59. > :42:03.because everyone was waiting with baited breath to see who would take

:42:04. > :42:07.the crown, the first female Commonwealth boxing champion because

:42:08. > :42:12.of course boxing, women's boxing is making its debut at the games.

:42:13. > :42:16.Potentially up for the title was Nicola Adams who made all of the

:42:17. > :42:21.headlines at London 2012 two years ago, and she was taking on Michaela

:42:22. > :42:22.Walsh from Northern Ireland. Lucy O'Connor and Rob McIntosh were at

:42:23. > :42:34.ringside. BELL

:42:35. > :42:42.COMMENTATOR: Here we go, the first four, two minute rounds. It is being

:42:43. > :42:48.contested between England and Northern Ireland. The boxer wearing

:42:49. > :42:53.blue, straight left hand to end the opening combination, Nicola Adams,

:42:54. > :42:55.the reigning Olympic champion. Her opponent is 20-year-old Michaela

:42:56. > :42:59.Walsh, also with an orthodox stance. opponent is 20-year-old Michaela

:43:00. > :43:06.The three-time Irish national champion. Taking those titles in

:43:07. > :43:15.2011, 13 and 14. A huge moment for her. Such an iconic figure in the

:43:16. > :43:19.realm of Olympic boxing. Michaela Walsh confidently claimed the centre

:43:20. > :43:21.of the ring at the start of the bout, snapping out her jabbed

:43:22. > :43:24.effectively but Nicola Adams bout, snapping out her jabbed

:43:25. > :43:31.caught her a few times on the counter. -- jab. Nicola is capable

:43:32. > :43:32.of taking a half step back and catching her as she dives in with

:43:33. > :43:41.her head. It is the fourth catching her as she dives in with

:43:42. > :43:42.for both of these women during the course of this flyweight

:43:43. > :43:55.competition. Both boxers are content course of this flyweight

:43:56. > :43:59.centre of the ring. Plenty of feints being thrown, they are looking for

:44:00. > :44:05.something to trigger a counter from. Both boxers are using that as a

:44:06. > :44:10.rangefinder, textbook exchange. That was a clean shot again, the final

:44:11. > :44:15.left hand was landed by Adams. Walsh is on the retreat, on the back foot,

:44:16. > :44:20.she is skimming the ropes. At the perimeter of the boxing ring. Good

:44:21. > :44:24.she is skimming the ropes. At the use of the jabs by both boxers, both

:44:25. > :44:30.trying to find their range, they are happy to counter, good combinations

:44:31. > :44:36.are being thrown and landed by both. Over the top, twice successful. The

:44:37. > :44:46.final combination attempt by Michaela Walsh. The end of the first

:44:47. > :44:53.round, a competitive affair, but the more eye-catching work coming from

:44:54. > :44:54.the boxer in blue. The rear hand landed quite cleanly from Nicola

:44:55. > :44:59.Adams. She is finishing landed quite cleanly from Nicola

:45:00. > :45:05.combinations and did so with the rear

:45:06. > :45:08.combinations and did so with the Adams, although they did exchange,

:45:09. > :45:14.she comes off the better in those combinations, although she got a

:45:15. > :45:16.cheeky left hook thereby Walsh. The ten point system is in use here at

:45:17. > :45:22.this tournament. Five judges are at ten point system is in use here at

:45:23. > :45:28.the ringside. The winning boxer of the round must get ten. The losing

:45:29. > :45:32.boxer must get anywhere from six up to nine. The judges were selected

:45:33. > :45:37.randomly prior to the opening bell without their knowledge, and it is

:45:38. > :45:39.those scores that will be determined to decide the outcome of the

:45:40. > :45:50.contest. A beautiful corkscrew left hand from

:45:51. > :45:57.Nicola Adams, who has started this second round in much brisker fashion

:45:58. > :45:59.than the first. Left-hand to the body was successful, and Michaela

:46:00. > :46:08.Walsh is looking to find her range, but being deterred from throwing

:46:09. > :46:16.punches. Better rhythm by Nicola Adams, finding her way into this

:46:17. > :46:29.fight. Lovely rear hand landed there. Walsh

:46:30. > :46:34.got her legs in a bit of a tangle, but is now beyond harm's way as she

:46:35. > :46:46.took a straight shot from Adams. The referee is allowing the boxes to

:46:47. > :46:52.work away, Nicola Adams trying to do so, whilst content to hold on. The

:46:53. > :46:55.referee finally intervenes and she is giving a talking to by the

:46:56. > :47:02.referee about holding. Excessive holding will result in point to

:47:03. > :47:17.addiction -- point deduction. In these closing seconds, the boxes

:47:18. > :47:21.are again exchanging jabs in the centre of the ring, but Nicola Adams

:47:22. > :47:34.Baggies is a straight left. Good left-hand to the body from Adams. On

:47:35. > :47:38.the jab once again... BELL RINGS. Michaela Walsh nods as she returns

:47:39. > :47:42.to her corner, but I suspect she will be on the losing end of that

:47:43. > :47:49.one. Nicola Adams had a brisk start of that round and had the better of

:47:50. > :47:53.the exchanges that interviewed. Positive end to that round from

:47:54. > :48:02.Michaela Walsh. She caught Nicola Adams with some nice clean shots

:48:03. > :48:07.just on the bell. Nicola Adams just edged the more eye-catching

:48:08. > :48:10.exchanges. We can bring you the scores after the conclusion of the

:48:11. > :48:13.opening round, but I'm sure if we receive them here, it will include

:48:14. > :48:20.the totals from the first round as well. Again, just a bit of a problem

:48:21. > :48:25.bringing you the scores, but from my point of view, it is this boxer,

:48:26. > :48:28.Nicola Adams, who has taken the opening two rounds, but there are

:48:29. > :48:33.three judges seated at the ringside whose scores count. They all have

:48:34. > :48:41.different vantage points around the ring. The women's 51 kilograms

:48:42. > :48:46.flyweight final. Nicola Adams is representing England and has won so

:48:47. > :48:51.many medals in competitions around the world, Olympic champion,

:48:52. > :48:57.European champion in 2011. A rather untidy tumble to the canvas for both

:48:58. > :49:03.boxes. Numerous national titles from the boxer from Leeds, 31 years old

:49:04. > :49:08.now. And Michaela Walsh is an athlete at the opposite end of the

:49:09. > :49:19.experience spectrum, just 22 years old. She has had success at Youth

:49:20. > :49:23.League -- level. Walsh is not making it easy for Adams in this round. She

:49:24. > :49:27.is causing Nicola Adams to miss and has caught a few times on the

:49:28. > :49:32.counter. A good performance in this round by Michaela Walsh.

:49:33. > :49:48.In the second half of this round, both boxers at close quarters. More

:49:49. > :49:56.success as Walsh takes another right hand over the top, then a left hand.

:49:57. > :49:58.Nicola Adams temporarily switches to Southport while she uses her legs to

:49:59. > :50:15.good effect. -- southpaw. Nicola Adams is generally having the

:50:16. > :50:17.first and last word in any exchange. She stepped in and scores a long

:50:18. > :50:32.left just above the belt line. Flailing shots with the boxers

:50:33. > :50:40.exchanging Mrs to enter third round. Again, it was Nicola Adams he

:50:41. > :50:46.caught the eye with the cleaner worked during the course of the

:50:47. > :50:52.third round. Michaela Walsh did have her moments as well. Dave Galloway

:50:53. > :50:57.is issuing the instructions to Nicola Adams in that corner. He was

:50:58. > :51:06.the coach of the year 2012. Michaela Walsh leading there. One of the only

:51:07. > :51:14.clean shots in that band, not a great deal, lots of clenching, not a

:51:15. > :51:17.lot of work on the inside. Both these boxers are counter boxers,

:51:18. > :51:26.waiting for the other to find the gaps. A sense of urgency will be

:51:27. > :51:30.greater in the red corner as the boxers right in anticipation of the

:51:31. > :51:35.bell for the fourth and final round. Into the fourth round we go,

:51:36. > :51:41.the 51 kilograms flyweight final. A rousing reception for these boxers

:51:42. > :51:45.as they begin this final session in pursuit of the gold medal. Nicola

:51:46. > :51:48.Adams is wearing blue. Hot on her toes, on the back foot, Michaela

:51:49. > :51:55.Walsh is hammering away with shots to the body, and the fighters were

:51:56. > :51:59.at close quarters. 30 seconds gone in this opening round, and it is

:52:00. > :52:01.Michaela Walsh on the front foot. Nicola Adams is confident in the

:52:02. > :52:09.knowledge that she is comfortably ahead, happy to keep it beyond

:52:10. > :52:18.range. And away from the aggressive intent of Michaela Walsh. Walsh,

:52:19. > :52:23.commanding centre ring, right hand attempted by Adams, went over the

:52:24. > :52:26.shoulder of Walsh. Adams is currently operating out of the

:52:27. > :52:34.orthodox stance, stepping in with a jab, effective. A furious exchange

:52:35. > :52:38.at close quarters. Adams tied up her opponent and marches her back to the

:52:39. > :52:42.red corner. Gives a couple of left-hands. The referee gives Adams

:52:43. > :52:46.a talking to. We are in the final minute of the final round. She has

:52:47. > :52:51.got to up the tempo if she's going to make an impression on the judges.

:52:52. > :52:54.She has got to make it clear in this round. Probably just stand in the

:52:55. > :53:01.centre and counter will not do it. Adams is making it difficult for her

:53:02. > :53:12.to do so. We are in the final 30 seconds. Walsh is back onto the

:53:13. > :53:16.front foot. " As, the boxes -- close quarters, the boxers are trading

:53:17. > :53:20.blows. Nicola Adams will need one shot to bring about a finish. Not a

:53:21. > :53:34.common occurrence in women's Olympic boxing. Boxers are in a clinch. Both

:53:35. > :53:37.boxers raise their arms immediately. Wonderful accomplishment from

:53:38. > :53:43.Michaela Walsh, but I expect it is Nicola Adams, despite the warm

:53:44. > :53:47.embrace Michaela Walsh is receiving from her corner. I suspect it is for

:53:48. > :53:51.a job well done for even making it to this final, but from my vantage

:53:52. > :53:54.point, it is Nicola Adams who has secured Commonwealth gold here this

:53:55. > :53:59.afternoon. Rather untidy final round. Aust remained patient. That

:54:00. > :54:02.was the pick of her punches for the entire contest, straight right

:54:03. > :54:06.hand, landing flush on entire contest, straight right

:54:07. > :54:09.Michaela Walsh said it would be a dream come true to meet Nicola

:54:10. > :54:13.Adams, they are the champion, in the ring today. She certainly was not

:54:14. > :54:19.starstruck. She started confidently and gave Adams a run for her money.

:54:20. > :54:24.It will be close. Nicola Adams, the world number one, Michaela Walsh,

:54:25. > :54:27.the 14th ranked boxer in the world at 51 kilograms, awaiting the

:54:28. > :54:33.official announcement at this Commonwealth Games gold medal fight.

:54:34. > :54:39.We get into the ring with our judges' scorecard. We have a split

:54:40. > :54:42.decision. In favour of the winner, she is now gold-medallist and

:54:43. > :54:55.Commonwealth women's flyweight champion. In the blue corner,

:54:56. > :54:56.representing England, Nicola Adams! Unconfined joy expressed by Nicola

:54:57. > :55:05.Adams. The boxer from Unconfined joy expressed by Nicola

:55:06. > :55:11.completed a historic double at the Hydro. She has just become the

:55:12. > :55:15.Commonwealth Games champion here at the first-ever Commonwealth Games

:55:16. > :55:21.boxing tournament in Glasgow. The familiar celebration at knowledge on

:55:22. > :55:22.all sides of the arena here on the banks of the River Clyde. Nicola

:55:23. > :55:27.Adams, the banks of the River Clyde. Nicola

:55:28. > :55:34.Commonwealth Games gold, and this is what it means to her. This, a boxer

:55:35. > :55:39.who loves occupying top spot on the podium. Heartbreak for Michaela

:55:40. > :55:41.Walsh. She can't believe it, but how well she has acquitted herself

:55:42. > :55:45.throughout the course of this Commonwealth Games boxing

:55:46. > :55:46.tournament, just 20 years old. She comes away

:55:47. > :55:53.tournament, just 20 years old. She silver medal. She had the

:55:54. > :55:54.of competing in the first-ever fight of Commonwealth Games boxing

:55:55. > :55:59.history. She made it through to the first-ever final,

:56:00. > :56:02.but ultimately, she was vanquished and had pointed. She comes away with

:56:03. > :56:07.a proud Commonwealth and had pointed. She comes away with

:56:08. > :56:12.But it is Nicola and had pointed. She comes away with

:56:13. > :56:22.continue to bolster her reputation on the international stage. She is

:56:23. > :56:26.now posing. Here is Nicola Adams with a gold medal around her neck,

:56:27. > :56:30.which looks cool, doesn't it? Very cool. It makes all the hard work in

:56:31. > :56:36.the gym with it, want to get this round your neck. We spoke about the

:56:37. > :56:38.fight itself. What you think has happened to women's boxing in

:56:39. > :56:44.general since you weren't in London? I forget has excelled. The

:56:45. > :56:48.competition has improved and the girls are getting more talented all

:56:49. > :56:53.the time, and I think it is definitely increasing the number of

:56:54. > :56:59.participants as well. What you feel you're responsible it is as well?

:57:00. > :57:04.Will you go on to Rio? Definitely! I would love to do that. I would like

:57:05. > :57:08.to inspire the next generation, which I have already started doing.

:57:09. > :57:12.It is nice to see a lot more boys and girls getting involved in

:57:13. > :57:15.boxing. I love the sport so much, it makes me feel really happy. I am

:57:16. > :57:24.sure you are going to take a break, but have you got anything coming up?

:57:25. > :57:29.Yes, I am going to take some resting rest and relax, then back in the gym

:57:30. > :57:38.again. Congratulations. And in the ring, imminently... Just like two

:57:39. > :57:42.years ago at the London Olympics, when I had the privilege of being

:57:43. > :57:48.there, Nicola Adams picked up her gold medal. This time, not Olympic

:57:49. > :57:55.gold, but Commonwealth gold. She made history earlier today as the

:57:56. > :57:58.Commonwealth Games' first ever Commonwealth boxing champion. That

:57:59. > :58:08.infectious smile is back for everyone to see and enjoy.

:58:09. > :58:14.I think it is fair to say that it is only split opinion between the two

:58:15. > :58:27.fighters soon afterwards, after the fight. Nicola Adams ablated this

:58:28. > :58:32.picture on her Instagram page. As far as her opponent, Michaela Walsh,

:58:33. > :58:35.goes, she tweeted, today I beat the Olympic champion, I was cheated,

:58:36. > :58:40.coming back with Commonwealth silver, I am very proud. In my

:58:41. > :58:43.heart, I know it was gold. Congratulations to Nicola Adams on a

:58:44. > :58:47.great fight. I hope we get a rematch in the future. It would be

:58:48. > :58:53.intriguing, as and when that rematch will happen. We are going to head to

:58:54. > :58:57.Edinburgh now on BBC Three. First we have the final of the women's 3m

:58:58. > :59:01.springboard, but the highlight later, as far as the men's event

:59:02. > :59:13.goes, it is the 10m platform, featuring this man.

:59:14. > :59:19.It is a good one. It cannot do any more than that. The crowd on their

:59:20. > :59:25.feet. Tom Daley has done absolutely everything he can. Tom Daley could

:59:26. > :59:35.not have done any more. It is out of his hands now.

:59:36. > :59:42.2013 was a rough year for me, riddled with injury. 2014 has come

:59:43. > :59:45.with a lot of changes. I have moved to London and I have got a new coach

:59:46. > :59:51.and I am doing lots of new exercises in the gym and I have changed a lot

:59:52. > :59:54.of technique in the pool. Recently I have just got a personal best in

:59:55. > :59:59.Mexico and came away with a silver medal. I am gradually making the

:00:00. > :00:08.step between being good to try to get into the excellent category.

:00:09. > :00:14.You mentioned your personal best. What has been the difference to get

:00:15. > :00:17.that extra special score? To break a personal best is something you

:00:18. > :00:22.always strive for. The small things make a big difference. If I don't .1

:00:23. > :00:23.of my toes or go slightly over from vertigo on certain things, the

:00:24. > :00:44.smallest mistake can cost you. Tom Daley goes into the water. Get

:00:45. > :00:49.in! What was special about the Commonwealth golds? The Commonwealth

:00:50. > :00:52.Games has always been a massive event on the diving calendar. I came

:00:53. > :00:57.away with two gold medals from Delhi and I was over the moon. I could not

:00:58. > :01:05.wait for another four years to pass until I could have a chance to do

:01:06. > :01:10.the next one. It is not so good. He lost it all on the take-off,

:01:11. > :01:19.actually, running out of room. Maybe the flash has put him off. Tell us

:01:20. > :01:23.about the Deavin dive, the twister. Everybody has got a dive that they

:01:24. > :01:27.are a bit scared of, and for me, it has always been about twister. But I

:01:28. > :01:30.have been working a lot to get to the stage where I can do it as well

:01:31. > :01:34.as I can. I am quite optimistic about the Commonwealth Games and

:01:35. > :01:42.that I will be able to nail that dive. Am I right that you have been

:01:43. > :01:47.seeing a therapist or a psychologist? A crucial part of

:01:48. > :01:50.being at the top of your game is that you have to mentally be in the

:01:51. > :01:53.position to think that you can win and also be in the position where

:01:54. > :02:06.you do not have any worries about the sport you are doing. To get

:02:07. > :02:13.another Commonwealth gold medal, it only happens once every four years.

:02:14. > :02:16.It is not like an event where you can try again next year to see if

:02:17. > :02:19.you could win. All those years of training, four years, and then you

:02:20. > :02:26.get six ties to try to make it count, and if you mess up one of

:02:27. > :02:30.those dives, you are out. Still a lot of work to be done, but I think

:02:31. > :02:31.by the time the Commonwealth Games happens, hopefully I will be in good

:02:32. > :02:48.shape. banish his demon dive at half past

:02:49. > :02:58.seven for the next 10-metre platform final. Before that it is the three

:02:59. > :03:02.metre springboard. COMMENTATOR: Thank you very much indeed, as we

:03:03. > :03:03.introduced the judges for the women's three metre springboard.

:03:04. > :03:28.Here they are. Boys, the former Canadian diver and

:03:29. > :03:34.now a judge. And now the fate of these 12 divers is in their hands.

:03:35. > :03:43.We will have five rounds of dives, there will be similar ones. The

:03:44. > :03:44.first diver will be doing an inward two and a half somersaults,

:03:45. > :03:46.first diver will be doing an inward two and performed in a slightly

:03:47. > :03:56.different way by Grace Reid and then by Anabelle Smith.

:03:57. > :04:14.More than half, pretty much, the divers will be going for in

:04:15. > :04:17.technical terms, 400 and -- 405 B. They will start in reverse order.

:04:18. > :04:25.The best from this morning will go last. Going for a notable double

:04:26. > :04:31.here. The advantage of diving last is that the judges tend to expect

:04:32. > :04:36.the best dives to come in the last bit of the round because you are the

:04:37. > :04:39.winner of the preliminary, so the higher marks can be awarded to the

:04:40. > :04:46.divers at the back end of the field but it does not always go that way.

:04:47. > :04:51.Sometimes it does. Here we go. The competition is underway. The whistle

:04:52. > :05:03.has been blown and we now have our first diver on the board. Well, she

:05:04. > :05:07.would have been looking for a stronger start than that,

:05:08. > :05:08.would have been looking for a short of vertical. The

:05:09. > :05:14.would have been looking for a OK. She squeezes into the pike

:05:15. > :05:21.shape. She lets go a bit too early so the dive is marginally short of

:05:22. > :05:26.vertical. Let's see what she gets. She will be looking for sevens.

:05:27. > :05:31.Seven and above is very good but six and a half and below is not so good.

:05:32. > :05:36.She will probably be not challenging for the upper echelons of this

:05:37. > :05:45.event. Rebecca Gallantree is much further down. But that was the

:05:46. > :05:54.morning, that can be parked and we will start again. That was nice from

:05:55. > :05:56.morning, that can be parked and we Rebecca, allowing the dive to

:05:57. > :06:00.rollover as she goes into the water. She has two shift her weight

:06:01. > :06:07.forward in order to complete the dive and that affects the entry.

:06:08. > :06:12.forward in order to complete the rolls over from vertical, so she

:06:13. > :06:23.will only score 6.5s, rather than eights. Six and a half, not quite

:06:24. > :06:29.the seven or above that she wanted. That takes her into second for the

:06:30. > :06:35.time being. Now, greeted by a raw, Grace. Grace Reid on the board. She

:06:36. > :06:42.is doing a slightly different version of the inward two and a half

:06:43. > :06:44.somersaults, this one is with tuck. It is worth consequently 2.7 rather

:06:45. > :06:58.than 3.0. Well, that is a beautiful It is worth consequently 2.7 rather

:06:59. > :07:03.grace. Opting for a slightly easier dive, this is in the tuck position,

:07:04. > :07:07.grabbing her shins and squeezing tight, straight up and down. A lower

:07:08. > :07:08.grabbing her shins and squeezing degree of difficulty, so that sees

:07:09. > :07:17.her at the bottom of the leaderboard so far. However, another consistent

:07:18. > :07:18.dive from grace. The degree of difficulty is nowhere near as high

:07:19. > :07:26.as it needs to difficulty is nowhere near as high

:07:27. > :07:27.medals. She may do what she is capable of doing at this stage and

:07:28. > :07:36.she is doing very well. It puts in capable of doing at this stage and

:07:37. > :07:45.the mix. Pamela Ware, 21 years of age, from Canada. She was taught

:07:46. > :07:53.diving by her dad, it was an ice cream better. Fabulous entry into

:07:54. > :07:57.the water. -- bet. The take-off was good, she could do with a tighter

:07:58. > :08:02.pike shape. A bit of an arch as she goes in but that is an improvement

:08:03. > :08:05.on her preliminary effort and it sees their top of the leaderboard so

:08:06. > :08:12.far with only four divers going so far. Bronze medallists at the World

:08:13. > :08:15.Championship in Barcelona in 2013. She has the pedigree to make their

:08:16. > :08:19.way through. Further down the standings than we thought she would

:08:20. > :08:23.be this morning but it can easily be reversed and it has been in quite a

:08:24. > :08:30.few competitions this week. Off to a shaky start this morning, Anabelle

:08:31. > :08:34.Smith. She would like to rectify that, starting all over again with

:08:35. > :08:42.an inward two and a half somersaults with pike. We have already seen this

:08:43. > :08:46.several times now. That is a little bit better than this morning. On the

:08:47. > :08:50.take-off she was backing away from the diving board a bit too much

:08:51. > :08:56.which can affect the rotation. But she manages to get after it, driving

:08:57. > :09:02.her hips up and over, tucking her chin slightly as she moves past

:09:03. > :09:09.vertical into the water. Difficulty 3.0, that should get her over 60

:09:10. > :09:14.points. 63 to be precise. Easily calculated. It will all count

:09:15. > :09:22.towards the total. Multiplied by the degree of difficulty to give you 63.

:09:23. > :09:28.That is her opening dive, Justin behind Pamela Ware in terms of the

:09:29. > :09:37.standings. It is early days yet. Lots of big dives still to come.

:09:38. > :09:44.Sabri From Malaysia. Once again, inward two and a half. I was very

:09:45. > :09:49.impressed with this 15-year-old, she has some dives which she struggles

:09:50. > :09:53.with later, but this was a corking opener, and in the preliminaries,

:09:54. > :09:56.she allows it to go over as she enters the water so it will not be

:09:57. > :10:02.quite as impressive as it was earlier but she will still be one to

:10:03. > :10:09.watch. Only 15. She is right alongside Anabelle Smith. Seen by

:10:10. > :10:18.the judges as precisely the same dive in terms of quality. Alicia

:10:19. > :10:22.Blagg goes for something different. The degree of difficulty is the same

:10:23. > :10:26.but this is a forward two and a half somersaults with one twist. The

:10:27. > :10:33.second of the English divers that we will see in the final. --, what a

:10:34. > :10:44.dive from Alicia, opening up the final. I was with her coach Aidan

:10:45. > :10:47.Hinchcliffe and she says she is feeling under the weather but you

:10:48. > :10:52.would not be able to tell because it may be something she has eaten, she

:10:53. > :10:58.may be struggling with their energy so this will affect competition but

:10:59. > :11:05.look at that to start off with. Whatever she has done this afternoon

:11:06. > :11:16.has helped her, feeling restored and refreshed. Nice job by Alicia Blagg.

:11:17. > :11:26.Li from Malaysia. But next. And we are back to the inward two and a

:11:27. > :11:34.half. -- Yan Yee. Alicia Blagg was the first to go over 70 in this

:11:35. > :11:40.round. Very, very nice, well executed. From Yan Yee. We are

:11:41. > :11:46.getting to compare and contrast, inward two and a half in the pike

:11:47. > :11:48.position, this will get over 65, finishing higher, keeping the

:11:49. > :11:59.splashdown compared to her team mate. This is the slightly more

:12:00. > :12:04.experienced and older Yan Yee, have strapping on her tricep. That is not

:12:05. > :12:14.unusual. She goes into second place. Behind Alicia Blagg. Starling will

:12:15. > :12:18.have a big smile. Her smile has disappeared as she gets her game

:12:19. > :12:22.face on and she gets ready to start the inward two and a half

:12:23. > :12:25.somersaults. The best placed of the English this morning but the points

:12:26. > :12:33.are of course not carried forward. Inward two and a half somersaults.

:12:34. > :12:37.That is very good from Hannah. This morning she just probably like a lot

:12:38. > :12:42.of the girls was a bit tired. Water in her ears as she comes up. This is

:12:43. > :12:46.a really strong attack on the take-off, squeezing into the pike

:12:47. > :12:51.shape. Straight up and down. A bit low on the water for more than

:12:52. > :13:00.seven, but we shall see. We will find out now. Three sevens. Joint

:13:01. > :13:06.fourth in a group of 63s coming together. Three more to go, the

:13:07. > :13:17.three best divers from this morning are up next. The Chinese diver who

:13:18. > :13:23.went to Sydney in the year 2009, Esther Qin. She will also be doing

:13:24. > :13:31.the dive that you have seen a lot of, 63-67 marks so far. Can she

:13:32. > :13:38.better that? I think she is a little short of vertical, she will be

:13:39. > :13:41.around 60 points. The take-off is OK but she backs away from the diving

:13:42. > :13:47.board a little bit too much which leaves her short of vertical as she

:13:48. > :13:48.goes into the water. The judges were penalised bad. Esther Qin will be

:13:49. > :13:59.further down the leaderboard. penalised bad. Esther Qin will be

:14:00. > :14:05.61.5, 6.5 and sevens. For Esther Qin on that 3.0 dive. Now, onto the New

:14:06. > :14:15.Zealand born, but now Australian, Madison Keeney. She is certainly one

:14:16. > :14:19.to watch. She was on the one, and she is in the three. She is not

:14:20. > :14:27.quite as expansive in the three in terms of what she can do. 3.0 for

:14:28. > :14:30.the Australian. Just washing over as she goes into the water, two and a

:14:31. > :14:41.half somersaults in the pike position. All of the girls will use

:14:42. > :14:51.about two and a half. Madison jumps through the roof. She is so powerful

:14:52. > :14:59.and only 18 years old. Faltering on the entry causes the marks to be

:15:00. > :15:15.lower. 63, matching Starling, Smith, Sabri and now Madison Keeney on 63.

:15:16. > :15:19.She has already got the 1m title under her belt. This is her in which

:15:20. > :15:30.2.5 somersault!. Silver medal four years ago, a gold

:15:31. > :15:36.medal last night in the 1m springboard, and here she is on her

:15:37. > :15:43.favourite 3m. Top qualifier, ready to open up her campaign. Steady,

:15:44. > :15:51.steadfast. She has done it better. We will see where her head is and

:15:52. > :15:59.where she is at this evening. Sevens and a sevens and a 7.54

:16:00. > :16:25.Jennifer Abel. -- and a 7.5 for Jennifer Abel.

:16:26. > :16:38.Round two women, Cheong Jun Hoong. She came in

:16:39. > :16:43.in 12th place this morning. A bit of difficulty with this in training, so

:16:44. > :16:49.not so good in the preliminaries, and she has missed a dead-end in the

:16:50. > :16:54.final. Forward 3.5 in the tuck position, just holding on to that

:16:55. > :17:04.shape a fraction too long and other rotating. -- other rotating.

:17:05. > :17:18.6.5 is an OK return for Cheong Jun Hoong of Malaysia.

:17:19. > :17:23.Rebecca Gallantree made her senior debut ten years ago for Great

:17:24. > :17:29.Britain. Here she is for England with a reverse 2.5 somersault! With

:17:30. > :17:44.bike. She has a tendency to pull the dive

:17:45. > :17:48.over. A bit of a back arch and and other rotation, so she probably will

:17:49. > :17:57.not get more than a seven, which is a shame, because the height on that

:17:58. > :18:08.dive is excellent. She nearly took out the cameraman there!

:18:09. > :18:16.Grace Reid. A smile when she got onto the board. Now it is studied

:18:17. > :18:41.concentration. , High on consistency. Unfaltering

:18:42. > :18:46.under the expectation of this home crowd in her home pool, home

:18:47. > :19:04.country, and she certainly takes it on. She's doing a great job.

:19:05. > :19:16.Pamela Ware is currently third, where she finished in Barcelona last

:19:17. > :19:25.year. She has got a point to prove, coming out and attacking. She is not

:19:26. > :19:40.holding back at all. It is a 3.1 degree of difficulty for a reason.

:19:41. > :19:44.She will be looking for mid-60s. Her face says that they be she expected

:19:45. > :19:51.more, either from the judges or herself. That is just her game

:19:52. > :20:00.face. I know her well. She would be wonderful at poker. Anabelle Smith,

:20:01. > :20:09.reverse first 2.5 somersaults with pike.

:20:10. > :20:16.Leaving the board short and vertical there. She stands the board, she is

:20:17. > :20:19.not on the end, so there is a miss coordination with the diving board.

:20:20. > :20:23.The diving board is your friend and you need treated nicely on ago down

:20:24. > :20:27.with it, and then it will fling you are in the air. If you stamp it, it

:20:28. > :20:33.will flick you off, and that is what happened to Anabelle Smith. There

:20:34. > :20:44.you go, technical talk. You campaign a lot of money for those channels!

:20:45. > :20:49.Nur Dhabitah Sabri for Malaysia goes with the forward 3.5 somersaults

:20:50. > :21:06.with pike, currently in fifth place. A good stylus, her favoured

:21:07. > :21:09.movement, the forward. A bit of impact on the diving board, so

:21:10. > :21:15.making it hard work, but she hangs on just about long enough to get it

:21:16. > :21:18.in. This was good in the preliminaries, not quite as good in

:21:19. > :21:25.the semifinal because of the fault on the take-off. The Malaysian might

:21:26. > :21:29.start to slip away as she moves toward the weaker part of her

:21:30. > :21:42.programme. She will not be leading year with 55.80. Not a great return

:21:43. > :21:45.on that dive. Alicia Blagg is currently our leader. It would be

:21:46. > :21:54.nice if she can back up her first round performance. 2.5 somersaults.

:21:55. > :22:07.We know that she is capable of getting more than 60 on this dive.

:22:08. > :22:17.At its soft inner body as she went into the water, arching through the

:22:18. > :22:22.back. Swing in the arms, take-off looks OK. I mentioned earlier that

:22:23. > :22:26.she is not very well. She looked slightly weak on her take-off there,

:22:27. > :22:31.soft on her way out. It looked like hard work, so I am hoping she has

:22:32. > :22:39.got enough energy for the next three dives. She is rubbing her eyes. It

:22:40. > :22:43.is tough. She does not look at all well. In second place, for the time

:22:44. > :22:57.being, after that. Yan Yee of Malaysia, currently

:22:58. > :23:01.ranked second. This is her forward 3.5, with 3.1, in the pike position.

:23:02. > :23:20.A high tariff dive a former. Very well executed. A classy effort.

:23:21. > :23:27.Yan Yee, 21 years old, this is one of her hardest dives, by way of

:23:28. > :23:29.degree of difficulty, at 3.1. She goes into the lead. Not quite 70,

:23:30. > :23:49.were close to it. be going with the same dive. Hannah

:23:50. > :23:54.Starling is just preparing herself for her forward 3.5 somersaults,

:23:55. > :24:03.currently in fifth place. 70 but take into the lead. Very good. Not

:24:04. > :24:12.sure if that will be good enough to get over 70 points. It is 3.1. She

:24:13. > :24:19.goes up and away. A bit low and she ends up short, but ducks head and

:24:20. > :24:29.ends up going over, say she might be penalised. 6.5, 6.5 and 6.5. The

:24:30. > :24:40.marks with lines through them do not count. Third place now. Now the big

:24:41. > :24:45.three from this morning. Esther Qin, the first, same dive once again. We

:24:46. > :24:55.will see something different from Maddison Keeney after this. What a

:24:56. > :24:59.beauty! An absolute beauty. Esther Qin, slightly further down after her

:25:00. > :25:04.first-round dive, that we would expect. This will rocket her

:25:05. > :25:09.straight up the leaderboard. 3.1. We have seen it before. If it gets over

:25:10. > :25:18.70 points, she will leapfrog a few of her fellow competitors, and she

:25:19. > :25:23.does. She has done just that. 69.75, and at the moment, it is

:25:24. > :25:31.Malaysia in first place, Australia in second place, with Yan Yee in the

:25:32. > :25:45.first place. Maddison Keeney of Australia.

:25:46. > :25:54.She does so well. Her step was a bit of. She was leaning too far

:25:55. > :25:58.forward, right on the corner of the board, but Lagat the heights she

:25:59. > :26:03.gets. You must be able to see that, at home, it is incredible,

:26:04. > :26:09.especially that she is on the corner of the board. It is not easy to do

:26:10. > :26:21.anything from that, let alone a reverse 2.5 in the height position,

:26:22. > :26:26.and she manages to get 7.5s on it! 67.5. At the moment she is in third

:26:27. > :26:33.place, but that might change. It is likely to change with Jennifer Abel

:26:34. > :26:36.up next, the 1m champion. She always keeps her game face on for the

:26:37. > :26:49.evening, looking very good this morning. Back to .5 somersault!

:26:50. > :26:57.Very nice indeed from Jennifer Abel. Will it be gold again tonight? So

:26:58. > :27:04.far it looks as though she is very much in line for another gold medal.

:27:05. > :27:07.Just allowing the dive to tip over slightly from vertical. She kept the

:27:08. > :27:19.splashdown nicely. Not slightly from vertical. She kept the

:27:20. > :27:22.lead, but close to it. It is very tight at the top. The leaderboard

:27:23. > :27:47.looks like this. Cheong Jun Hoong of Malaysia is

:27:48. > :28:21.currently ranked 11th, and She looks like she is a bit tired,

:28:22. > :28:27.not quite got her competition head on. She is much better than this.

:28:28. > :28:35.She only just qualified for this final. We lost to Mac ladies this

:28:36. > :28:40.morning in the preliminaries. I would expect more from her. She is a

:28:41. > :28:45.better driver than this. When she gets it right, she can really get it

:28:46. > :28:54.right. We have seen her have some outstanding dives in earlier days.

:28:55. > :28:58.That was not too bad. Rebecca Gallantree is joint ninth after the

:28:59. > :29:07.second round. This one will be a forward 3.5 somersaults with pike

:29:08. > :29:20.for the dive from Leeds. Terrific dive from Rebecca. Gold medal in the

:29:21. > :29:23.3m Synchro. A good forward 3.5 in the pike position, punching a hole

:29:24. > :29:25.in the water by grabbing hands as she goes in. You can see the spray

:29:26. > :29:28.on the surface of the she goes in. You can see the spray

:29:29. > :29:31.is worth mentioning, which is to disturb the surface of

:29:32. > :29:36.is worth mentioning, which is to that they divert knows exactly where

:29:37. > :29:41.the services. If there is no spray, all the dive can see is the bottom

:29:42. > :29:44.of the pool. A little bit of spray gives you an exact idea of where the

:29:45. > :29:46.surface is so that when you grab your hands before going in, you know

:29:47. > :30:04.where it is. tariffs. That was a beautiful dive.

:30:05. > :30:09.Forward two and a half with one twist. 3.0.

:30:10. > :30:13.Forward two and a half with one the rotation into the one half with

:30:14. > :30:21.one twist, then making it two and a half somersaults. The best dive of

:30:22. > :30:30.her programme so far. 62, 63. Any ad Barnes? We are staying on 63. --

:30:31. > :30:37.advance. Nice and solid. 78 points already for her. It would be far too

:30:38. > :30:41.much to expect with the degree of difficulty that she has got. A

:30:42. > :31:00.middle of the pack finish, if she can achieve it. Pamela Ware. Oh,

:31:01. > :31:05.faltering, she came out all guns blazing to put herself towards the

:31:06. > :31:09.front of the field but this will show acts based see her dropping

:31:10. > :31:14.down. Not getting enough rotation and ending up short of vertical as

:31:15. > :31:19.she goes in. The judges do not see the slow motion replays, they input

:31:20. > :31:23.their scores immediately as soon as the diver has hit the water. They

:31:24. > :31:29.are required to put the scores in and they do not look at each

:31:30. > :31:34.other's scores. They have dividers. They are separated from each other.

:31:35. > :31:42.They are not allowed to peek over and copy other people 's homework.

:31:43. > :31:49.Anabelle Smith with a back two and a half somersaults to perform. That is

:31:50. > :31:52.better from Smith, right down at the bottom of the leaderboard after her

:31:53. > :31:58.second round dive but she will now pick herself up with that one.

:31:59. > :32:03.Backwards two and a half in the pike position. You can see the strain

:32:04. > :32:09.going through the body, pulling the top half of the body onto the bottom

:32:10. > :32:15.half to show the pike shape. Then exiting the dive to land on her head

:32:16. > :32:19.pretty much vertically. Like she was doing this morning but not quite

:32:20. > :32:30.where she needs to be, not quite on form. She is a bit away from her

:32:31. > :32:39.favourite place. We are down in the slightly lower tariff dives. Sabri,

:32:40. > :32:49.this is in the tuck position and not the pike. So it will be 2.8. That is

:32:50. > :32:52.OK from Sabri, as I mentioned, her first two dives, high degree of

:32:53. > :32:58.difficulty because they are in the pike position. She struggles with

:32:59. > :33:03.this particular movement, she opts for the easier degree of difficulty,

:33:04. > :33:06.the 2.8 in the tuck position. Spinning in the tuck position is

:33:07. > :33:13.easier than spinning in the pike position. OK on that one. She is

:33:14. > :33:17.quite pleased, I am not sure. A little inclination of the head,

:33:18. > :33:24.looking back at her coach. Coaches are never satisfied, there is always

:33:25. > :33:36.something wrong. Alicia Blagg. A decent start. Forward three and a

:33:37. > :33:39.half. She has not been on top of their game but let's see what the

:33:40. > :33:48.forward three and a half will bring for her. Lovely dive. She is not

:33:49. > :33:53.feeling on top of her game, but that is roundabout the top of her game on

:33:54. > :33:59.this dive, even though she lands in the corner of the board, she waits

:34:00. > :34:05.and waits. That was a great dive from Alicia Blagg. If she gets over

:34:06. > :34:10.70 points she will go to the top of the leaderboard once again. That is

:34:11. > :34:15.where she was after round one, she will not be there after round three

:34:16. > :34:18.but 71.3 will put her there temporarily. She is ahead of Rebecca

:34:19. > :34:34.Gallantree. Here is the current leader. And Yan Lee from Malaysia.

:34:35. > :34:45.Something different to come next. She needs 59 to retain that

:34:46. > :34:51.position. Faltering. Over she goes. The take-off looked OK. Generating

:34:52. > :34:56.enough spin, squeezing into the pike shape. She just reaches back a

:34:57. > :35:01.little bit too aggressively, tipping over, so this will be maybe five,

:35:02. > :35:07.five .5, from the judges, so that will see her less than 50 points.

:35:08. > :35:12.Just one dive like that can scupper your chances of a medal. She is in

:35:13. > :35:15.second place right now but there are still four more still to come and

:35:16. > :35:23.she may find herself dropping down the order. Hannah Starling. Smiling

:35:24. > :35:31.at the crowd, getting herself ready and looks at what she needs to do.

:35:32. > :35:35.As a chat with herself. That was really nice, a marvellous dive. A

:35:36. > :35:39.little bit of a skip on the take-off, moving herself towards the

:35:40. > :35:43.middle of the pool, but she had one of her feet over the end of the

:35:44. > :35:49.diving board which causes bad. She squares it up nicely. Getting

:35:50. > :35:56.sevens. A nice third round dive. The 19-year-old from England. They are

:35:57. > :36:03.in a position just behind the medals. We can see them faltering,

:36:04. > :36:13.so she will not be in the top three at the end of the round. Not far

:36:14. > :36:18.away. Esther Qin. The 20-year-old. She has had her fair share of injury

:36:19. > :36:25.problems along the way. She suffered a whole year of ankle problems not

:36:26. > :36:27.long ago. In 2009. We saw her at the University games last year.

:36:28. > :36:34.Backwards two and a half somersaults. That is the dive of her

:36:35. > :36:38.programme so far, we are looking for a vertical entry with no splash and

:36:39. > :36:44.that is exactly what we got from Esther Qin on this dive. We could

:36:45. > :36:48.see the first dive scoring above 8.5. Straight up and down. If the

:36:49. > :36:53.judges are awake and in a good mood they may go higher, that is 8.5 all

:36:54. > :37:00.the way for me. It is that the judges as well. They have the same

:37:01. > :37:06.view of that as we did from the commentary box. 8.5s for Esther Qin.

:37:07. > :37:13.The Chinese-born Australian. She goes into the lead by 14 points from

:37:14. > :37:19.Alicia Blagg. The big movers and shakers are about to take to the

:37:20. > :37:23.board. Here is Madison Keeney from Australia, she will want to do

:37:24. > :37:28.something about that, the 18-year-old. She has had problems

:37:29. > :37:33.with this dive. Did she hit the diving board? I was watching it on

:37:34. > :37:36.the screen and I was not sure whether she hit it. Let's have a

:37:37. > :37:42.look at the replay. I think she does. She hits her feet on the

:37:43. > :37:47.diving board, so the judges were quite clearly penalised that. That

:37:48. > :37:52.is a shame because she is so high, she just needed to move the dive

:37:53. > :37:59.further back. She hits her feet. If it is deemed dangerous, Judge number

:38:00. > :38:04.one thought no, I am giving you 1.5, but the rest of the judges giving

:38:05. > :38:09.4.5s. Madison Keeney could be out of the medals and that would be a

:38:10. > :38:19.shame. She does not always put it together at the right time. Forward

:38:20. > :38:23.two and a half, one twist. Unfazed by the diver before hitting her feet

:38:24. > :38:28.on the diving board, Jennifer is in the zone, focusing on what she can

:38:29. > :38:33.do and what she needs to do. One dive at a time, that is how you win

:38:34. > :38:38.the Commonwealth Games. Looking to be the eventual champion. Midway

:38:39. > :38:46.through, just over, on the three metres. And now she is in the top

:38:47. > :38:49.two with the Australian Esther Qin. That is

:38:50. > :38:56.two with the Australian Esther Qin. Blagg has moved into

:38:57. > :39:01.has found some form in round three. She and

:39:02. > :39:08.has found some form in round three. in round three to

:39:09. > :39:14.has found some form in round three. there. It looks like a long haul

:39:15. > :39:18.back. For Madison Keeney and Smith if they are going to challenge the

:39:19. > :39:25.medals. It is still mathematically possible because 1-11 are separated

:39:26. > :39:32.35 points. It is quite a lot, but it is not a massive difference. Reverse

:39:33. > :39:36.two and a half. This was a beauty in the preview, she got nines. I

:39:37. > :39:43.thought she should have got nines, but they gave her a .5s. One judge

:39:44. > :39:44.gave her nine. She has done a lot of competing over these

:39:45. > :39:48.gave her nine. She has done a lot of competing over past days, this is

:39:49. > :39:53.day four, she has been on pretty much every day, starting to show in

:39:54. > :40:00.her facial expression, that she is kind of toughing it out. Do you

:40:01. > :40:04.worry about having a cameraman in your face? Every diver when they

:40:05. > :40:09.come out, has a cameraman in their face. I did not even notice it

:40:10. > :40:15.because I was focused on what I was doing. Rebecca Gallantree. Inward

:40:16. > :40:20.two and a half somersaults with tuck. This is down in the 2.7

:40:21. > :40:29.range. This has to be very good if she is to retain her sixth position.

:40:30. > :40:35.All move further up. She is originally from Essex. She opted for

:40:36. > :40:39.the easier inward. In the tuck position you get an easier degree of

:40:40. > :40:44.difficulty, this worked for her in the preliminaries. The take-off is

:40:45. > :40:50.good and the exit is OK but she lets it over rotate. She needed to exit

:40:51. > :40:57.the dive sooner so to ensure a vertical entry. We are watching the

:40:58. > :41:00.replay. Getting feedback from her coach, Amy Hinchcliffe. A good start

:41:01. > :41:15.but she needed to line up around the sides. 50 for there. Her grandad did

:41:16. > :41:21.exhibition diving. Her parents were not involved at all. Reverse two and

:41:22. > :41:28.a half somersaults with tuck. That is lovely. Well done, Grace. I am

:41:29. > :41:35.laughing because she has just raised her game so consistently, she knows

:41:36. > :41:40.laughing because she has just raised that she is lacking in degree of

:41:41. > :41:44.difficulty but she is matching many athletes dive for dive. Maybe she

:41:45. > :41:55.will be close to 60 points with that. A couple of 7.5s discarded,

:41:56. > :42:04.and a couple of sevens. A low tariff dive. A big dive in terms of

:42:05. > :42:09.execution. And Pamela Ware, eighth place at the moment for the

:42:10. > :42:13.Canadian. She may be able to bridge the gap here. Reverse two and a

:42:14. > :42:19.half. That is certainly going to help. That was a fabulous dive, off

:42:20. > :42:23.the back of a very average inward two and a half in the pike position.

:42:24. > :42:30.This is the reverse two and a half, reaching back just to allow the dive

:42:31. > :42:36.to tip over. It is very warm in this pool. I will start making up words

:42:37. > :42:48.in a minute. You normally do that anyway! Grace Reid and Pamela Ware

:42:49. > :43:00.are now close together, the Canadians. Forward three and a half

:43:01. > :43:05.somersaults with pike. 3.1. Certainly is, she needed a really

:43:06. > :43:08.good take-off, and in order to get the best take-off you need to land

:43:09. > :43:18.right on the edge and she was a bit back from the end social has do

:43:19. > :43:23.squeeze into the pike position and tuck her head down towards the

:43:24. > :43:35.water. She does a reasonable job. She parks herself next to Reed, so

:43:36. > :43:39.she is a long way shy. Nur Dhabitah Sabri looked good this morning. She

:43:40. > :43:45.was leading at one stage but now she is at the other end of the pack this

:43:46. > :43:54.time. Here comes her 2.8 degrees of difficulty dive. Reverse two and a

:43:55. > :44:00.half somersaults. She has nailed it. Yes! Much better, reverse two

:44:01. > :44:04.and a half in the tuck position. Only 2.8, it is 3.0 in the pike

:44:05. > :44:11.position. The 15-year-old from Malaysia. Doing this dive to the

:44:12. > :44:15.best of their ability. I have been watching this in training, it is

:44:16. > :44:20.potentially a bogey dive for her, but that was very good. The top

:44:21. > :44:31.three currently are separated by two points. Pamela Ware. Nur Dhabitah

:44:32. > :44:35.Sabri, and Grace Reid. Alicia Blagg has got herself back into third

:44:36. > :44:49.place. She has not been feeling well at all. It would be brilliant to see

:44:50. > :44:57.her do a brilliant dive now in round for. Almost brilliant. Beautiful

:44:58. > :45:03.take-off. This is from the diving board, squeezing into the pike

:45:04. > :45:08.shape. Slight bend in her knees there. She reaches back a bit,

:45:09. > :45:13.causing the dive to go over. She did all the hard work and faulted on the

:45:14. > :45:15.entry. Good enough to put her in the lead now. She will be happy with

:45:16. > :45:24.this competition. The European Championships are

:45:25. > :45:40.coming soon, in a couple of weeks. Yan Yee of Malaysia. This reverse

:45:41. > :45:43.2.5 is good. She could put some pressure on the likes of Jennifer

:45:44. > :45:49.Abel and Esther Qin. Only one more round after this.

:45:50. > :45:59.That is good from Yan Yee, reverse 2.5 in the pike position. She

:46:00. > :46:01.faulted previously on this the third round dive. She could get sevens on

:46:02. > :46:15.this. She is putting pressure on the other

:46:16. > :46:21.athletes. Alicia Blagg is still in the first position, though, so as

:46:22. > :46:26.things stand, with four left to come in this ground, Alicia Blagg cannot

:46:27. > :46:39.finish any worse than fifth. Hannah Starling for England,

:46:40. > :46:43.19-year-old from Leeds. She switched to diving just before her ninth

:46:44. > :46:48.birthday. I'm sure she's very glad she did.

:46:49. > :46:56.Very nice. She sneaks the dive in beautifully, a bit low in the water.

:46:57. > :47:01.Her take-off is good, but she's not finishing the dive high enough to

:47:02. > :47:04.get the drop. She does a nice job of fitting that in. Where will that put

:47:05. > :47:18.her? She goes to first place, only by a

:47:19. > :47:24.margin. One point between her and Alicia Blagg in second place. A

:47:25. > :47:33.smile on her face. Here is our current leader, marginally in front

:47:34. > :47:39.of Jennifer Abel, seeking to put a bit of distance between her and the

:47:40. > :47:44.Canadian with her reverse 2.5. She was in the lead before, and now she

:47:45. > :47:48.will be difficult to beat. The Australians are cheering, and so

:47:49. > :47:58.they shared. Beautiful dive from Esther Qin, reverse 2.5 in the pike

:47:59. > :48:04.position. Maybe a nine. If it is, she will be at 75, and she will be

:48:05. > :48:12.difficult to catch. One dive to go for Esther Qin. 76.5 for Esther Qin.

:48:13. > :48:15.That is a big margin for Esther Qin. 76.5 for Esther Qin.

:48:16. > :48:19.That that she has opened upon the rest.

:48:20. > :48:31.Maddison Keeney, I think her last dive has done further chances of a

:48:32. > :48:35.medal. Forward 3.5, 3.1. You have got to give credit to this young

:48:36. > :48:41.lady, she is only 18 and she is a super talent. She has got so much

:48:42. > :48:46.potential. She lands just on the edge of the diving board, but look

:48:47. > :48:59.how high are both she does. That will squeeze the gap. It is down to

:49:00. > :49:10.the exciting last round. Esther Qin goes to 284. Maddison Keeney goes to

:49:11. > :49:14.239. At the moment, Hannah Starling is in a medal position. Jennifer

:49:15. > :49:21.Abel knows that she has to be at the top of her game now to catch Esther

:49:22. > :49:25.Qin with her forward 3.5. She does need to be top of the game, and that

:49:26. > :49:29.is not the top of the game. She will go into the silver medal position

:49:30. > :49:38.with one round to go. This is 3.1. She would have needed eights to

:49:39. > :49:42.catch Esther Qin. That is less than eights. She enters the water still

:49:43. > :49:49.in a slight hike position, throwing up a bit of a splash. She will have

:49:50. > :49:56.11 points to make up in the final round if she wants to get the gold

:49:57. > :50:02.medal. She was silver-medallist four years ago, and that is where she is

:50:03. > :50:05.heading now. Hannah Starling and Alicia Blagg battling it out for the

:50:06. > :50:09.bronze medal at the Alicia Blagg battling it out for the

:50:10. > :50:28.Yee in fifth Alicia Blagg is down, 2.7, on

:50:29. > :50:36.difficulty. Hannah Starling has a 3.0.

:50:37. > :50:45.Cheong Jun Hoong of Malaysia. Very much off a game this evening. What a

:50:46. > :50:50.shame, because when she is diving well, she is a delight to watch. She

:50:51. > :50:56.is finishing up here with a very average dive to go with an average

:50:57. > :50:58.list of dives. What a shame, because she is a beautiful dive, and we have

:50:59. > :51:07.not seen the best of her this evening. 5.5. Some people are making

:51:08. > :51:14.a night of it. They have got the beer in and they are watching does

:51:15. > :51:30.Rebecca Gallantree might finish full -- they are watching us.

:51:31. > :51:34.Rebecca Gallantree might finish where she started in terms of the

:51:36. > :51:37.she is right now. Back to diving order, in 11th place, where

:51:38. > :52:00.somersaults with pike A bit of a

:52:01. > :52:03.the water. She would have felt the water hit her on her shins and

:52:04. > :52:11.ankles as she went in, so she knows she will not be coming up to eight.

:52:12. > :52:19.Sevens are coming our way. That is precisely what she gets. 63 for

:52:20. > :52:23.Rebecca Gallantree. Grace Reid, last dive, the biggest cheer of the night

:52:24. > :52:28.to her. She has performed impeccably all the way through. A low tariff

:52:29. > :52:30.dive to finish with, but it is the quality of the diving which has been

:52:31. > :53:00.so impressive from her. She has done so well. Her coach will

:53:01. > :53:09.be thrilled, so will the crowd, so we'll her parents, who are both here

:53:10. > :53:14.to watch. A great dive, and a wonderful Commonwealth Games, her

:53:15. > :53:20.second, would you believe. She is not too far shy of 300. The

:53:21. > :53:25.scoreboard currently shows her in first place. She will not finish

:53:26. > :53:31.their, but for the time being, she is the head of the table. Pamela

:53:32. > :53:42.Ware is in sixth place. Forward 2.5 somersaults. She finishes off with a

:53:43. > :53:43.marvellous dive on a 3.0, the forward 2.5 with twist. We will see

:53:44. > :54:05.this a lot. 67.50. She is the first of the

:54:06. > :54:14.divers to go over 300, at 308. It will not be enough for a medal

:54:15. > :54:19.today. Rather disappointing, Anabelle Smith, today. She has not

:54:20. > :54:33.worked out in the preliminaries. A solid finish from Anabelle Smith.

:54:34. > :54:36.She was in 10th place after the fourth round and she will be around

:54:37. > :54:42.about that place now. That was a good dive, but lots of the girls are

:54:43. > :54:47.finishing on their best dives, which makes sense. This is good from

:54:48. > :54:52.Anabelle Smith. Probably identical scores coming her way, as we saw for

:54:53. > :54:57.the Canadian Pamela Ware just before her. 67.50, say she does not quite

:54:58. > :55:10.go over the Rubicon of the 300. Next up is Nur Dhabitah Sabri. We

:55:11. > :55:13.have had a mixed bag from her today, very impressive part in the

:55:14. > :55:24.morning, but not quite so this evening. Again, it is the forward

:55:25. > :55:29.2.5 somersaults. 3.0 on the difficulty.

:55:30. > :55:35.Faltering on her last dive, which is unfortunate, because she's doing a

:55:36. > :55:42.sterling job for 15 years old. Lots to learn, great Commonwealth Games,

:55:43. > :55:47.not so takeaway, but no medals. She will drop down the leaderboard,

:55:48. > :55:56.probably behind Rebecca Gallantree and Grace Reid. At one stage she was

:55:57. > :56:07.ahead of both of them. She has got 45 on that, not a great return.

:56:08. > :56:11.There are six more to go. Alicia Blagg is still in fourth place, and

:56:12. > :56:13.still in a position to challenge, but it is a low tariff dive on at

:56:14. > :56:25.2.7. It is a dive that she feels

:56:26. > :56:35.comfortable with, and in which 2.5 somersaults with Tucker. She has

:56:36. > :56:46.given it her best shot. She has not been feeling very well. She got hit

:56:47. > :56:54.by the water, throwing up bash, and she will not get above sevens on

:56:55. > :56:58.this. She will not get a medal. I hope she feels better soon. She just

:56:59. > :57:03.wants to get away from here and go straight to bed and recover, but

:57:04. > :57:06.good luck to her. I know she is at the European Championships shortly,

:57:07. > :57:15.so a couple of weeks to recover and get herself back to form. Yan Yee of

:57:16. > :57:17.Malaysia, in fifth place, so still has a target of a top three finish.

:57:18. > :57:31.One more time, the 3.0 forward 2.5. It is good. You can hear the

:57:32. > :57:36.Malaysian contingent shouting and cheering. They like it. And she has

:57:37. > :57:42.done a very good job that Omotoso right over the end of the diving

:57:43. > :57:45.board. That will put her at the top of the leaderboard with that, but we

:57:46. > :57:50.still have four divers to come. It will be right down to the wire. This

:57:51. > :57:55.is good stuff, diving at its very best. We have no idea where the

:57:56. > :58:05.medals are going yet, but she might have got one medal with that.

:58:06. > :58:17.Hannah Starling is in third place. She has a high tariff dive. It is a

:58:18. > :58:27.forward 2.5 somersaults, with one twist.

:58:28. > :58:33.It is a tremendous dive from Hannah Starling! Will that be enough? She

:58:34. > :58:33.has thrown down the gauntlet to the rest of

:58:34. > :58:39.has thrown down the gauntlet to the them. Let's wait and see what

:58:40. > :58:44.happens. I am really impressed. A beautiful dive, that is her dive off

:58:45. > :58:50.the competition, and it will get over 65 points, and it might be

:58:51. > :58:52.enough for a medal. I will put my rather damaged reputation online and

:58:53. > :59:00.say it will be good enough for a medal. I am sure with that. It will

:59:01. > :59:05.put pressure on everybody else. Esther Qin, the leader, Jennifer

:59:06. > :59:10.Abel to come, and Maddison Keeney, still mathematically able to

:59:11. > :59:16.overcome that. But at the moment, Hannah Starling is in the top

:59:17. > :59:22.position. Interesting. 32 points is all Esther Qin needs to overtake

:59:23. > :59:25.Hannah on her forward 2.5. We could be looking at the Commonwealth Games

:59:26. > :59:27.champion right there. She had a bit of a lead,

:59:28. > :59:30.champion right there. She had a bit of and Jennifer Abel is probably the

:59:31. > :59:34.only one that can catch. Esther Qin has been rocking it this evening,

:59:35. > :59:38.and that is a good dive to finish, but not out of Jennifer Abel's

:59:39. > :59:48.reach. It is not as good as Hannah Starling's. It will get to the

:59:49. > :59:55.mid-60s. Yes, 347.25 is the score to beat. Only Jennifer Abel can do

:59:56. > :00:01.that. She will have to be spot-on on her last dive, which is a different

:00:02. > :00:06.one from everyone else's that you have seen recently. Maddison Keeney

:00:07. > :00:13.cannot catch Esther Qin, but she can catch Hannah Starling with a 77.7.

:00:14. > :00:19.It is a good dive from the Australian. I do not think that will

:00:20. > :00:23.be good enough for her to stand on the podium. She hit her seat on the

:00:24. > :00:29.diving board in dramatic fashion, which means that Hannah Starling

:00:30. > :00:33.will win at least the bronze, at least the bronze. That is good

:00:34. > :00:37.diving from the Australian. She's a super talent, but I am absolutely

:00:38. > :00:47.thrilled for Hannah Starling, who I can now confirm will stand on the

:00:48. > :00:51.podium. Esther Qin has a medal, Hannah Starling has a medal, what

:00:52. > :01:04.colour, we will discover in the next minute.

:01:05. > :01:10.It will not be gold for Canada, it will be gold for Australia. I think

:01:11. > :01:20.that will be good enough for Australia. She only needs 5.5 to

:01:21. > :01:25.ensure the silver. I think it is good enough, a drop dive from the

:01:26. > :01:34.one metre champion, silver-medallist four years ago. Gold for Australia,

:01:35. > :01:41.Esther Qin, and another medal 14 England. There are the Australians

:01:42. > :01:48.celebrating. Esther Qin taking the gold. Jennifer Abel with the silver

:01:49. > :01:56.but Hannah Starling, who looked very good this morning, has improved his

:01:57. > :02:11.standard. Good enough for third place.

:02:12. > :02:27.step forward for the youngster from Leeds.

:02:28. > :02:33.I am not sure what is wetter, the swimming pool or ask! That

:02:34. > :02:35.I am not sure what is wetter, the the start of the drama because Dan
