BBC Three: Day 2: 09:00-14:00 Commonwealth Games

The city is drenched in sunshine, looks beautiful and is poised for

action. It is good to have you with us again. The Commonwealth Games are

just 24 hours old but what a 24 hours it has been. Jody Stimson of

England wins the first gold of the games. He takes the gold-medal in

Glasgow. It is gold for the world champions from New Zealand. Anna

Meares wins gold for Australia. Innovation from the crowd, they have

their first gold medal in Scotland. -- ovation. A new British record. We

are down and the festival that runs on specific key on the south side of

the river through the cover of games. -- Pacific Quay It looks

quiet at the moment but 12 hours ago it was a different story as a young

lad from Dumbartonshire knocked the poster boy of his perch. Mr Murdoch

winning his gold medal, meeting Michael Jamieson, who was expected

to do so much at this games but Ross Murdoch is the man who has managed

to beat him with a Commonwealth record. Incredible performance from

the young man who trains at Stirling University, knocking Michael

Jamieson off the podium, who was not a happy man. They will both go on

today in the 100 metres breast stroke as well. This is the medal

table, England at the top, Jodie Stimpson got things underway in the

triathlon. Alistair Brownlee as well in the triathlon. Scotland in the

place with gold medals from the judo. It was an incredible day of

action, we are expecting more of the same. 22 gold medals of photographs.

We are here until 10pm and this is what you can expect between now and

then. First up this morning we will be at Glasgow Green where the red of

Wales will be in evidence at the men's hockey begin their campaign

against India. The velodrome is the venue for track cycling and the

men's sprinters take the boards today. Scotland take on South Africa

in the men's hockey. We will be seeing the best of it. And boxing

gets going, we will be checking in as the Northern Ireland Olympic gold

medallist -- bronze medallist Michael Conlon opened his account in

Glasgow. It may be pretty early in the morning, it certainly feels that

way, but already there is lots happening around this great city.

Just less than half a mile away the bowlers had been in action since age

40 5am in the leafy surroundings of Kelvingrove Park, one of the most

sumptuous places. The boulders in action just now. -- 8:45am. And over

at the Emirates Arena, Canada are taking on Wales, who need to win

after losing to Australia yesterday in the mixed team badminton. There

is so much going on today but don't worry you do not have to miss a

second. On BBC1 they are previewing all of this morning 's main action

and the first event they will be showing will be the swimming. On the

red button we have badminton and other strains are available

depending on your provider. Press red and then blew to see the full

list of options. And thanks to the website every life event is

available. And you can share your views with us on twitter. The best

of your comments will be used on the website. This morning it really is

an absolute incredible day, dutiful day, I cannot believe it. For all of

the out of doors and events it'll be fantastic and if you happen to be in

the area I suggest you take some sunblock and a bonnet. If this is

the sum you have seen hockey on television, and don't fully

understand your terms, let's keep you up-to-date.

Hockey is a fast and fierce game played by two 11 aside teams. Five

substitutes may be used and unlimited number of times in the 70

minute match. Goals may only be scored from within the circle, 16

yards in front of the goal. Suspension cards can be issued for

fouls, green card and yellow card. The penalty corners can be awarded

for a variety of infringements and are taken from the back line, ten

metres either side of the goalpost. Only five defenders in the shooting

circle. If the school is tied in the knockout stages then a penalty shoot

out will take place. In Glasgow both the men's and women's competitions

comprise of Paul play with the top two from each group progressing to

the semifinals. STUDIO: Now you are experts let's waste no further time

in getting over to Glasgow Green with Leslie Murdoch and Sean Curley.

COMMENTATOR: Don't forget the talented goalkeeper for India, up on

the top flank now, looking for entry into the circle. The forward man

will come in time. Wales leading the space, make sure they cover the

middle of the park, they do not want any injections directly towards the

goal. They will let the Indians go wide and then try to close out the

spaces. Little Love and over, trying to get

some distance. -- up and over. Early days for both these teams.

Lovely touch. Kettle, regulation save, ever ready. He sticks his boot

out efficiently. It is those fast running forwards, looking to see if

anything came of that. In a team that has that forward momentum you

want to give them the opportunity so there will be some advantage played

by the umpires. They have been very good so far allowing the game to

flow as much as possible unless it is really obvious. Kettle again

pushes that straight into the oncoming Indian player. First

penalty corner, just on five minutes. Just a clearance, the

keeper does not manage to keep it down, so the first corner to India.

At the top of the capital D we have the Indians ready. Less than ten

seconds to get ready now. Here it comes. From the baseline.

Into the top, it hit the crossbar from Rupinder Singh. What a start.

Now the counterattack from the Welsh, up the left flank, looking to

make some contact. The pitch well watered, squirting up from the

players feet. Danish, a player you are looking

forward to seeing. Number 17. Back to Rupinder Singh. Plato the whistle

is the command from the Singapore on fire. -- play too. He will be busy

at this end, Wales have to be careful that they do not get spread

out. India will love to play attack against defence, so every time Wales

breakaway they must come out as a unit otherwise India will find

spaces behind men and then can count themselves, a wobbly when they are

their most dangerous. -- probably. Into the circle again, meat and

drink for Kettle indole for Wales. -- in goal. Fantastic strike, off

the bar, Kettle did not get his stick on it. What a strike. Really

important to stamp the five metre exclusion zone for those defending a

free hit, we have heard that early. Now India on the counterattack, bevy

of yellow shirts and again Kettle very dominant in the D. Shot at goal

and again a great save and the defender takes the ball off the

pads. He will have a lot of work to do. India keep firing the ball in in

front of Kettle and he is playing very well, taking it out along the

ground into safe areas. That is what he has to keep doing. India just

need to keep that ball in the danger area and get a fume or attackers on

the end of it. What I like about David Kettle is the fact he wants to

become the 11th person, the first prong of attack and he will come out

and play in some cases like a field way, and when you add the skill, he

will see himself as a true part of the team, not just the stopper. Good

contest, good contest. Forcing an error from the wells. That early

morning sun, beaming down on this page. -- pitch. A well struck back

into their defensive screens. -- the Welsh. Wales are definitely marking

zones rather than the men at the back, they are allowing India to go

wide and away from the goal area that means in India will be able to

settle a bet and work those opportunities. The ball has been

slippery around the edges. Sardar Singh.

Looking at what number 21 brings, he was not at the World Cup but he is

hovering in the circle for India. Ready to pounce. Get the free head,

Rupinder Singh. -- hit. Look at that. Using the width, they have got

strength in power. They are being allowed to play with wales dropping

off, giving India the territory at the back. They have to have the ball

in front of Wales, which is a very sensible thing to do. Yes. Punching

at the area, the first person to sensible thing to do. Yes. Punching

allow that area... That was a deft pass, into the attacking third, shot

at goal. Again, good defence. India working from the right and finding

bodies but Wales are equal to it, they keep focused but must keep

concentrating very hard in those situations. The elimination skills,

at the moment, or efficient. Wales. Lewis. Again. And there is a lot of

heritage, he is the son of the former captain, David Prosser. Into

the circle, and a corner! Wales win themselves the corner. And this is

the area where in the World Cup India linked a couple of goals. We

saw the ball being fired in and that is exactly what the Welsh had to do.

It shows that India are human, they make mistakes and Wales need to

learn that and they will grow in confidence when they do get these

little victories. Gareth Furlong, at the top of the D. That was a save!

They might be having a referral to the umpire. That was interesting. I

will have another look at it. The ball was fired in quite low. If it

was missing, I guess happy umpire has blown for danger because it was

lifted when it was going past the post. That was a good steel. Wales

enjoying a purple patch. And the counterattack from India. He finds

some space. Into the spot. Kettle does well. Wales keep the ball. And

off they go again. We have had nearly 15 minutes of the first half.

We have had a reasonably even exchange between both sides. One

corner each. You would probably say that India have been in the danger

area more often than the Welsh team. They are controlling the play

better, more possession. Wales are holding their own at the moment. I

have been impressed with Richard Gay, strong at the back and

have been impressed with Richard his one-on-ones. There he is. The

straight ball through, that little touch, who is going to get their

first? Hot conditions. Good contest. touch, who is going to get their

That was a lovely ball, one-on-one. If you get the left little -- right

little touch and the spin, you might beat the defender. Danish.

Again, working well in unison, the defenders for Wales. And on we go.

Nicholas Rees getting tangled up. Nearly 30 degrees, very hot out

there and this is where India will be much more used to this

temperature than Wales, and the fitness will play a part as well as

having to work. They have not got the ball as often as the Indian

team. They are running, doing a lot of hard running without the ball and

that is much more difficult. Play on, keep the game flowing. Just

that last pass, so that was a promising build-up. That defence

from Wales is nullifying any opportunity that India can find,

they are finding difficulty getting the ball into the circle at the

minute. And the reason is, wales work very hard. They have stolen the

ball and have put pressure on that deep defensive unit. The little

off-load. Still looking to get the shot away. Again, able to mop up and

they are strong and sure in the defensive unit. They are simply not

intimidated by those silky skills, are they?

So, Richard Gay, the 30-year-old, getting some words of advice. His

51st match. Wales but the ball down and they lost possession

straightaway. They want to try to keep possession a little bit more

and they need to build on that. I love what Kettle did, the goalkeeper

came out. He took on the Indian attacker. He made that ball

dangerous, didn't he? Yes. He pounced on that, India. Danish. To

the left side, that was a good touch tackle. Into the circle. Looking for

the corner. Danish has got some fantastic individual skills. Look at

the way he can weave his way through, Cleverley over the stick

and he is already thinking about his next move. The defender commits and

that was an easy short corner. The good thing about 40 seconds is

it keeps team meant going. -- the momentum. From the baseline, he has

got number three at the top. And the first goal for India! We saw him in

action in a couple of bright this matches and he can head that! Just

across to the left of the keeper. He had to move slightly, which exposed

his right hand side. Look at that, Raghunath. In the rake the deadlock.

-- India break the deadlock. Convergent penalty for India. That

was a good conversion. He hit the crossbar? It was the first one. Very

tall frame. Rupinder, athletic, smooth running.

Into the world circle. And the long corner. They have had a couple of

forays into that Indian defence. -- the world circle. Yes, the Indians

keeping out the Welsh but there are opportunities, there will be

opportunities and the difference is the amount of hockey that these

sides play, the Indians have played at a higher level consistently and

are just tidier, there are skills are just a little bit more...

Refined? But every game for are just a little bit more...

a winner in terms of are just a little bit more...

sport. But are just a little bit more...

cannot score, the are just a little bit more...

not as many but they must make them count. The younger of the brothers.

He drives it into the circle. count. The younger of the brothers.

what a goal! My goodness! Wales have scored against India! What a

fabulous opportunity. And it is tied up. And 12 minutes left. They will

not get many of those, they need to make them count and what if I'm

drastic deflection. One of the most difficult skills to do, coming

across in front of you and just deflecting that into the far post.

What a superb score. They must have heard you talking. He said they had

opportunities. And again! Be shot at goal! Keeping the crowd enthralled.

That is not bad for Wales. Seven opportunities for India. You get the

impression in the opening 12 minutes that India are playing within

themselves. They are but what Wales are doing is their only marking

around the crown of the D, they are not allowing India into the danger

area and are breaking on the counterattack so credit must go to

the Welsh as well. But they are having to put a massive amount of

work in and on this temperature, 30 degrees, they will get tired and

later on, it might be dangerous for them. Yes, it is going up. India,

what will apply the? -- what will the reply the? 118 caps for the

goal-scorer for Wales, Andrew Cornick. 33 years old. He has been

around for awhile and that will taste so sweet to get one the

Indians. One of whom are still on the ground. The play goes on. Still

the Indian player is down. Waiting for the ball to exit out before the

whistle goes and the Welshman lets it go. Nice sportsmanship. The

friendly games. Rupinder was down for the long time and his own team

did not care, that is the wrong word, that they kept playing. Bit of

a shoulder. It is something you have to be careful of Nenagh sport,

hockey. They stick on the head is something you need to look at. -- in

our sport. As you say it is a friendly and sportsmanlike action to

Promising little interplay between and give the ball back. Good stuff.

Promising little interplay between the Welsh players, Jones hovering

around that ball. Just looking for the little touch,

plenty of Welsh shirts around. They get the whistle.

Some swift play, little interchange from Wales and they get a shot at

goal. It is corner number two. Great scrapping. Zak Jones delighted in

the crowd. Not easy to get the stunt on the ball and win the penalty

corner. On his own foot. Such a tight little area. Zak Jones looking

at his options. He will talk to the bench and they will call for the

corner they want. There will be variations they have practised.

Furlong waiting. Michael Shaw waiting at the top. Rhys Gowman

dragging from the base. Little flick into the pads, defensive free hit.

Sreejesh, the Indian goalkeeper, needs to adjust his pads. Got a

pummelling. Low one, it was around in front, just needed to get that

over the keeper. Good scrambling defence by India.

India cannot quite latch onto that pass, concentration in the last few

minutes of this first spell. Second day action, first session. Reading

the game well, just came off the stick and the Welsh into their work

on the right flank. Causing some consternation among the Indian

defenders. Free hit again. Brignull. Into the circle, little touch. PR

Sreejesh, the vice captain and goalkeeper, again called on and he

is issuing the commands. Good move by Wales switching the play,

injecting into the circle, causing trouble at the heart of the Indian

defence. 1-1. VR Raghunath scoring from the drag flick at the penalty

corner. And then Kyriakides drove into the circle and Cornick finished

for Wales. Those are the scoring actions. Dispossessed once more,

plenty of room in the midfield, looking for support on the right.

Hugh Jones was steaming up there but he could not quite keep it in, could

he? Good passage of play from Wales, they have not given the ball

away with forward passes. Really, for then, they need to build slowly

and tried to build the team together because they do not want to leave

space in midfield for India to work in. Lovely little skill. But again

well watched. Picked off by Wales, the lone ranger on the left flank

making plenty of inroads into the Indian defence. Nothing has

happened, says Peter Wright, the South African umpire. BOOING

Did he get the speed wobbles? Looks to have run out of steam. Shoulder

charge? Look how quickly the ball is back down here and a penalty corner

outside the circle. That shows the danger of attacking, when you attack

you are stretched. India used the space and got the penalty corner. At

times the international men's game is so quick, like a tennis match,

your head going one way and then the other. Compelling skills. Putting

the stick, that is what caused the penalty corner. -- hooking. They

only have ten seconds to get ready, the defenders. Again Rupinder at the

top. VR Raghunath. Number 12. That is loose at the top of the circle,

it has fallen to the Indians, they still have an opportunity. Play on,

play on. Counter. WHISTLE BOOING

Good use of the referral. Colin, are you there? India is asking for the

foot over there. I did not see it. Can you check please. While they

have a look at and come if it is not a foot and Wales had the ball

appear. Three on two. That is good use of the referral. Dynamic play. I

am not seeing anything immediately. On that first run through. They seem

very confident, they are ready for the short corner. I like what it

brings to the game, it takes away the pressure from the umpire and

makes the players move away from him. One of the reasons it was

brought in this case the players were crowding the umpires. It became

quite difficult. Having a look at this routine, it may be after that.

I think it makes it easier for the umpires, it is much cleaner. Is it

the first one, is that what they are looking at? He said play on. It came

off his stick. There is no reason to change your decision. Burley at the

16. How does that make Wales feel? -- bully. Video referral rejected,

do they lose their referral? India lose their referral. I did not see

what happened. Yes, India lose their referral.

Some testy exchanges in the closing minutes of the first half because

the number nine ranked side, India, got the first goal, but Wales,

ranked 31, have equalised. This time again they have the

on the end of the stick. Cornick, the goal-scorer. Just a little

careful waiting for the troops to arrive.

Very calm and collected, the Welsh. Good effort, but just a little bit,

out of his reach, Kyriakides. Tidy skills, just need to tighten those

up because the ball running off the back of the pitch bid again India

lucky. Wales intercept again on the left flank. GROANS FROM CROWD

APPLAUSE Another good interception. Beautiful

work by Swainson, just not making the connections. But another chance

will come, they are putting the effort in. It remains to be seen how

fit they are, how long they can hang on in this heat. I am sure we will

hear more about at timely referral by India. In the context of the game

and where it was and where Wales had the ball. They have it again with

Kyriakides. Swainson up there. Little cuff around the head for

Brignull. And here he is with the ball. Swainson. Congested circle. 90

seconds left. Danger time. Struck into the circle again. They have

players in the right position, putting pressure on the India

defence. They go overhead, to halfway. The Welsh player coming

into that area, it was deemed unsafe. If you are having a look at

hockey the first time and you the players using their stick over the

shoulder, it is allowed now as long as it is in a safe manner.

Some intensity from India. Again just losing it in their attacking

third. What can they do in the dying seconds of the first half? Less than

30 seconds. Sardar Singh. Picked off. CHEERING

The crowd urging Wales on. Brignull bringing it forward.

The players will have a good idea of what the minutes are in the half?

Reckon they will know. WHISTLE That is half-time, what a half, some

absorbing exchanges from both sides but it is 1-1. Sean Curley, what did

you make of the first-half from the Indian perspective? I would say that

they had a lot of possession and they played a good first 15 or 20

minutes, testing Wales out. Putting them under pressure but Wales

responded. After the goal very showed a lot of spirit and they have

come back and scored that fantastic breakaway goal. Deserve it 1-1 at

half-time. The play is very keen especially the Welsh, you can see

them heaving a bit breath-wise at the end. They will want to get

inside to call Dan and Zak Jones will have a word with them. The

statistics from the first 45 minutes. Pretty even, same penalty

corners, similar shots on goal. Similar results in the danger areas

but on the balance of play India have had a lot more possession.

India are ninth in the world rankings and Wales are 31st. If

Wales can get anything out of this, that will be a very fine result. We

will be back shortly. We will go this way.

One of the great things about Glasgow 2014 is the signage. It is

everywhere. I would surely these little venues, HMS Bangor, if you

have been watching coverage, you will have seen that sitting along

there. And the last oceangoing paddle steamer is also sitting

there, about to leave at 10am. The funfair is sensational, can you see

that? That little carousel. Andy Ferris wheel and behind we have that

massive tower. They had an issue with that the other day, but these

things happen. And right at the top, get inspired. The BBC website. That

is a fantastic place to go to find out about sports you might not know

much about. That will tell you great stories about athletes overcoming

adversity. Many of them competing at the Commonwealth Games. Let us carry

on wondering. It truly is beautiful this morning, on the south side of

the river Clyde, this is massively important for Glasgow, the gateway

to the world and behind me, that is the massive sound stage, they have

got live concerts going on throughout, Simple Minds will be

playing there. And look at these happy people. Are you happy to be

here? What am I doing? I am presenting the sport! It is

absolutely fabulous. Such a great achievement. Highlights? Watching

the swimming and that young boy winning the goal medal, it was so

emotional. And Hannah Miley was in tears. It just means so much to

them. Enjoy the rest of the game. You will have a Cup of coffee,

keeping the water, you need to stay hydrated! Splendid. We can go over

here. Beg your pardon. We are 100% live, leaving the sun, some barriers

here, this stage is here, there is lots of live stuff

here, this stage is here, there is lots of going on and you can come

here to watch these concerts, you need a ticket to get in here. Let us

go round the back? Let us break the rules. Somebody might shout at me!

Let us go up here and look at the stage. The amazing thing is, you

need tickets but they are free. The thing is, I will wait until

everybody gets out of shot. The great thing is, you can stand around

here and get some sense of what is going on. You can stand over there,

but this is the stage, Simple Minds were standing here. Lots of events

going on through the weekend and I am walking around in circles and

that is making it very difficult for the rest of the crew! Talking about

circles, later on we will go to the velodrome and we will see Bradley

Wiggins, he did not manage the medal last night but he did announce that

he was thinking about focusing on the track cycling from this point

onwards so what this means with his relationship with Team Sky will be

revealed today we are focusing on the women well, the individual

pursuit and the sprinters. And one man in particular, Jason Kenny. He

comes from Bolton, he is a great sprinter. Jason Kenny! What a ride!

He is the triple Olympic gold medallist. You need to be very

smooth. Gold in London. Speed and tactics as well. A bit of tactics

but the best tactic is speed, I would rather be in front and have

rubbished tactics. I just want to win. Great Britain by the Olympic

team sprint champions and look at this young man, what a future he has

a head. That was quite a long time ago, I won in Beijing when I was 20

and I am 26. Ever since I first started cycling from the age of 14,

when London was first on the radar, that was my main goal, I was going

to be 24 in theory, at my optimum. Kenny is the Olympic champion! He

wins the gold medal. And he won this in style! What was London like? And

what was it like afterwards? It was medal for a couple of weeks. But if

you months down the line and it is not long before you slip back into

normal life and you come back to training. And that was it, I wanted

to go at the World Championships and I managed to get the gold medal.

Jason Kenny is a world champion! When it really mattered! That was

ready nice to go back to that performance, like I say, I was

always looking forward to the next event and I never spend long patting

myself on the back. Sir Chris Hoy left afterwards, you are the man

that people will look to in terms of track cycling in Great Britain. That

is nothing I ever would think about, I'm just focused on winning as many

races as possible. Which is hard enough! It was hard when he was

around, and it is not easy, the result was somebody battling,

wanting to win. I am always fighting to win as many gold medals as

possible. World Championship, Olympic gold, but no, no. It will

not be easy. -- no Commonwealth. This will be a very good at all.

Jason Kenny, such a fantastic cyclist. He is a great athlete and

he will be on the board at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome later this

morning and we will also join him there. Katie Archibald, the Scottish

world champion, will look to block Juana Russell offer perch. The

result going on, that is the live big-screen going on, but is going on

with BBC One, keep it here because we will be going back to the hockey,

India against Wales and not as busy as it has been around here. People

have been burnt with the sunshine. Ladies and gentlemen, where are you

from? Sterling. You have travelled 30 miles. Enjoying it so far?

Brilliant. And I am really looking forward to the rugby at Ibrox. You

will go there? I am a very big rugby fan. What do you think of the Home

Nations, their chances? Australia and New Zealand are always so

strong. I think New Zealand will do it. Why is that? They are so

dominant. But in sevens rugby they just put together in credible sides.

They are just so strong in the rugby. The southern hemisphere.

Hopefully we will do something but I think it will be New Zealand. Thank

you. Let us go back to the live action here on BBC Three. Earlier on

we were alive with the hockey, India against Wales. 1-1 at half-time.

Sean and Leslie have the commentary. Kettle, he has been with an

efficient in the first-half. Very good in the space in front of him

and beside him. He has repelled five or six shots. The early morning

sheen on the turf. Some collaboration between the umpires

and already, India are staking their claim. Penalty corner. This is where

they have that big weapon. Look at that lovely skill, lifting the ball

over, that left touch. And another opportunity for this Indian

strikeforce. Chinglensana Kangujam, looking to the baseline and he will

look to flick the sin. To number three, Rupinder. Three or 12. From

the base. Quick. It is Rupinder. He did not look like he was expecting

that. It looked like he went for the wrong option and it was not very

tidy. He did not quite get that timing sorted out. Dispossessed. He

might have a card. That was deliberate, that delay. Green card.

He was delaying that Welsh attack. We can see here, leaning on the back

of the Welsh player deliberately. Just breaking that down. Two

minutes, India will play with team players. Michael Shaw gets it

across. Against Huw Jones, the most experienced of the Welsh players.

122 caps for his country. Rupinder to receive. Sardar Singh has that.

And the long corner. Rupinder. That long drive, he leaves it for the

shot and he put the ball there. He cannot go through the player. They

are making inroads, they are more purposeful.

It was interesting that despite the temperature, they did not watch the

turf at half-time. -- water. Things might quicken? Yes. The temperature

is creeping up. It is still quite early. There are still enough water

in this turf to last. They did not bother at half-time. One of the

indications when you see the ball dancing and not, it does get very

deep into the turf, that takes away any danger. And the danger is to the

players, isn't it? The reason they water these services is if it was

dry, there would be too much grip and would be the danger to the knees

and ankles from twisting and dislocating. The

and ankles from twisting and again under pressure. Andy Welsh

will fancy their chances. They will again under pressure. Andy Welsh

know that they were fragile at World Cup time in India. They lost

important games against Belgium and England in the dying minutes of the

pool game. Whether of fitness concentration, but this

is a much different level. But there is still that fragility. But does

show the confidence of the players. They are missing that belief at the

moment. Man for man, the skill level of these teams, India is higher. But

it is the teamwork of Wales that has been fantastic, the way that they

have watched defensively to keep the Indians down to only one goal. --

worked. And across to the left-hand side for

India. Stretching. That is enough, that is enough.

Chance for India in the circle, penalty corner time. Danish again

showing the lovely little skills, really clever putting netball, look

at that, back onto the foot. Very frustrating as a defender because

you have to be so careful against these guys and the skill levels they

have. The umpire giving the defenders the

countdown on that clock to get their gear on. Dharamvir Singh to drag it

from the baseline. Number three is Rupinder Singh. Usually they have

two. What they goal, the six frame of Rupinder Singh. -- the six foot

four frame. But the Indians ahead once again. Lovely corner routine.

Drifted across opposite the post, to expose the post, Kettle could not

quite get there, did not adjust well. It was the pace that beat the

keeper, superb finish. Wales already into their work. Smacking it across

into the circle, hoping again for a little loss of skill level but it

does not happen. Chandi has the ball.

The goal-scorer surrounds the ball carrier. Jones. Catches the foot of

the Indian, they move away. James Kyriakides has the ball for Wales.

little skills of their own. Rhys Gowman gets dispossessed. Chandi on

the counterattack. Quick legs, into the circle, little touch. Mopped

up. Kettle again with a stick save. The Welsh defender there to pick the

ball up out of defence. From something nearly a third for India.

Are we starting to see glimpses of the team ranked ninth in the world?

Great little saved by Kettle. With his stick.

Swainson. They still fancy their chances, Wales. Goal-scorer Cornick.

It is important for Wales that they keep a lid on this, they do not want

it to drift. But they do not want to get stretched either. They have a

player in the circle. Thimmaiah was not at the World Cup, they are

looking ahead to the Asian games, if they win that they get entry into

the Rio Olympics. These young players have a big job to

The Welsh team have put the miles in, up front and in defence. Working

together. Waiting for the whistle a little bit again. The umpires

checking the right decision has been made. Excellent control from both

umpires today. Very stern and strong on anybody play, they do not want

the skills to degenerate. Rupinder. Keeps the ball in play,

real chance here. Goal number three. Looking for the goal-scorer, is it

Chandi getting the congratulations? It looks like Gurinder Chandi,

clever interplay. Govinda Gurwinder -- Chandi scores the third. Goal

number three, 23 minutes left in this match. Already in the opening

salvos of the second half India have broken the stalemate. 1-1 at

half-time and a Rupinder Singh drag flick and is now a Gurwinder Chandi

exquisite skill set has taken that scoreline to 3-1. The skipper,

playing with more confidence. The triangle passing. Especially on the

left flank. But do not count out the Welsh. Already they have scored, and

drawn level. Now the chance for Hugh Jones. To get it across the face.

They have done a lot of running. Jones just trying to get the ball

across, that would have been interesting if that had gone in but

a dangerous cross obviously. Again the figure of Chandi hovering in

front of the goalkeeper. Sardar Singh off-loads. And again three

Indian players in the circle waiting for the touch but Wales come out

with the ball. Subtle skills from their captain. Across to the right

flank this time. And again really starting to show

confidence now. Little stick Saints, body faints. -- feints. He is

shielding the ball from the defender. The ball is behind him,

the defender cannot get to it, using his shoulder. He gets penalised for

that. I was waiting for the card, actually. Interesting watching the

bench, the players coming off, the Welsh players particularly, we know

it is around 35 degrees on the turf, they are really gasping. Many

rotations now. Six or seven minutes maximum at a time. The problem is

they are not used to this temperature. Glasgow in the summer,

I'm only joking. It is like the tropics. Richard Gay across the

turf. You can see the boys have iced towels on their necks. Trying to get

turf. You can see the boys have iced possible. The first match for both

these teams at the Common of games. First day yesterday. -- Commonwealth

Games. More authoritative now, India, with

their passing. And the high player hovering has got the ball. Looking

to just team up, but again Wales able to just spoil India's party. Up

the left flank, cannot keep control, Rhys Gowman. But he gets the

whistle, taking it quickly. Brignull. Time for India to get back

and put their defensive screen in place. Tough ask, it keeps it in.

Kyriakides. And a drive into the circle. Hard angle. It is a

difficult one, especially with the ball getting across, but Wales at

times showing that they can get in the right areas. Some of the final

passes are a bit speculative. Because they are having to defend so

heavily, all of the players when they get to the circle have

travelled such a distance that they get to the circle have

are too tired to really have the poise that you need to execute.

But certainly playing above their ranking of 31 in the world. Nice

soft hands that time. Cornick. Catches the foot of the Indian

defender. Prosser. Still not giving anything away,

Cornick showing his array of skills. Looking for the free hit. Looking

for the body check but the ball had been pushed too far away. Good

decision by the umpires. Always an element as well but you cannot go

through a player. India push again, looking for the foot, they do not

get it. Still Wales keep trying, Brignull. They have added much to

this game, the Welsh. They have made India worked very hard for that

advantage. 16 minutes left in the game.

Saving the legs for Wales as they are looking for the opening but they

are retreating. Forced back. And again picked off, exactly what

India were waiting for. Look at that, kicked over halfway, proud of

that in rugby union or football. David Kettle adding another

dimension to the goalkeeping skills. Very aerial. You have to be careful

because it can be dangerous. Spectacular. The crowd love it. I

think any young person would. Chance at goal now. Play on. Those

exquisite skills in close. The little strong wrists. And again

willing defence. Slightly under hit. Almost too much stick underneath,

now through the middle. One of the most underrated skills. There we

are, miscommunication. The tackling skill, and on the reverse side, has

been very good from Wales today. And that every of Welsh players looking

to rotate onto the field. There are five of them standing, waiting to

give their team-mates out-brake in this heat. -- that bevy. The Indians

will be searching for more. That little turnover was untidy. As Wales

once again drive into the attack. That little quick pass, this is a

way to do it if you are a young person watching the hockey. It

breaks down where it counts, in the circle. He has got a lot of pace but

he is not able to control the ball so well at that pace. He needs to

learn to keep the ball more controlled. Sometimes you will slow

down as you get to your opponent to make sure you have more balanced to

use the ball. That is part of the learning process. Peter Swainson

goes back, he cannot keep hold of it. Still trying, Wales. They might

be down on the scoreboard but they are continuing to take the

opportunities. Here is the cornerstone at the back.

Rupinder, he appears again. Just redistributing.

Careful with the ball, India. Clever. And the difference that we

saw when Canada try to do this, they just lost possession but this time

India have kept possession. Wales are having to work just so

hard just to get onto the ball at the moment, India are happy to play

the ball at the back, they have that cushion. They are making this Welsh

team run and run without the ball. This is absorbing as India search

for that entry point into the circle. That little skill, rather

than the direct pass. Although we know that is in their armoury. He

still has that shot at the goal. There was patient build-up and

eventually filled up with that -- ended up with that long ball into

the D. He had to rush that shot. Looking to make that ball go

forward. Do you think India will be content

with the scoreline? They have that advantage. The intensity seems to

have gone out of their game? What they are doing at the moment is the

iron showing the ball on the stick because Wales are just so tired and

they are just probing, they are being patient about their build-up.

They have scored three out of 12 shots and Wales really have not had

much in the second half, I do nothing. They have an opportunity,

but it was well covered. Quickly taken. Chandi on the left flank,

striding through, making the Welsh backpedal. That is the kind of thing

India will be frustrated with, the way that they have given the ball

away too often. James Kyriakides steals the ball,

and across the goal. I thought that it caught the Indian stick, but no.

Trying to meet that bouncing ball and maybe if he was lower with his

hands down, imagine playing with your hand, almost, and you will have

more of a chance with those dancing crosses. But another opportunity.

Into the circle. That pass was just not accurate. It has to be so

precise. Birendra Lakra, across. Sardar Singh. Here it comes! David

Kettle, superb goalkeeping. And across the face again, another

chance. That little sneaky shot! That got the crowd going. It

certainly had David Kettle going. India, again. He must have picked up

a little food? -- foot. The 40 seconds have started. All other

protective gear, the mask and the box. We can look at that incident.

Tiny little foot. By James Kyriakides. So, dangerous moment for

Wales. You talked about India being patient. This is where it could pay

off. 12 and three hovering at the top. That is Rupinder. And David

Kettle reads that perfectly. And the crowd gets behind him. Still not

finished! Efficient getting the ball out. And it will come again. And

again, David Kettle makes another save. It is all happening! 90 macro

is the hero for Wales. -- David Kettle. That great sequence from

David Kettle. He will really have loved that. We talked about that,

looking to make the Great Britain side. He has played in Malaysia and

Australia and in the Premier League of English hockey.

The crowd urging the Welsh on. Peter Swainson loses the ball. I often

think that the goalkeeper is the most important player on the field.

You will have played with very good goalkeepers through your gold-medal

era? It helps! I know that you are also a goalkeeper. Just having a

look at this recent sequence of events. The first one, beautiful.

Straight to the Indian attacker and another save. Pulling the ball away

from the danger area, which is the mark of a very good goalkeeper. And

that was just two of those. He has balanced beautifully, he is an

athlete, David Kettle. And he helps get possession. They have done that

some lead times in this match. There is some tiredness creeping in. 3.5

minutes left, 1-1 at half-time. The 20th minute of the first half, India

went ahead but three minutes later, Wales drew level. There are not

giving up, the team in red and black. Strong, hard tackle.

Uncompromising, looking for another goal, Wales. Andrew Cornick is

there, who scored that goal for Wales. Gurbaj Singh comes away with

the ball. The skipper for India, Sardar Singh. He is running with

freedom and space. This is the part of the game but India are growing

for themselves. When something is not on, just holding the ball

instead of thrusting forward relentlessly. Yes, patience is

something they are trying to bring into the structure. Because it is

very tiring if you keep running and losing the ball. If you can build

out attacks by better quality attacks and you can be more patient,

that is something they will be working towards. India coached by

Terry Walsh, himself a former goal medallist for Australia. -- gold

medallist. Again, right on the sideline and

stretching that ball. This is the skipper, just holding

the ball. Showing the magic that we have come to expect from India. They

will just be happy to keep that on the right-hand side.

Wales, have they got one final fling? Over the baseline. Not to be

outdone. Just 20 seconds left on the clock. And Wales have another foray

into that Indian defence. Look at that, very close indeed. He has

worked hard all day. Kudos, as the hooter goes for Wales. One point in

the opening match. The first session, it goes to India. Superior

ranking and skills but what a match! 1-1 at half-time and there was some

magic in the second half. Better control in the end from India. But

David Kettle will look back. 3-1, India over Wales.

India will be happy with those points. They will, but the kind of

margin of victory they would have thought might happen before the game

but the Welsh team played very well. They defended resolutely. All of the

first-half and even caused India some problems themselves. In the

second half, I think Wales got more tired and India began to put more

pressure on and eventually, those penalty corners showed. Let us look

at the statistics. Look at that. In the second half, India had another

ten shots against goal. And overall, the Welsh team, well... India

deserved fit early. That is memorable from Wales. Of that strife

from James Kyriakides. And Andrew Cornick got that little deflection.

They know how hard the Welsh can work, what will it take? One thing

is for sure, David Kettle has put down his mark as a goalkeeper in the

standings. India have those points. Wales, three goals against them. Not

many would have predicted that the head of this game, -- that ahead of

the scheme. Brilliant conditions. -- this game. Very good win for India,

Wales 1-1 at half-time but they could not hang on to the superior

side. Scotland take on South Africa at 11am and you can see that live on

the one side. -- on the website. And we will show you pilots. It is a

good time to tell you what else is happening this morning at Glasgow.

What a day of slumming it was yesterday.

-- swimming. You can catch up with all of the action on BBC One. This

is the next start list. Right now, on the Red Button... You can catch

up with the badminton. Wales taking on Canada. That is a match in full

swing. And depending on your provider, other options might be

available. Press the Red Button and then blew. Choose from table tennis,

lawn bowls, netball and weightlifting. Remember all of the

options of there. And basically just go to the website. We will be

shortly crossing to the velodrome to catch up with the men's sprint and

women's individual pursuit and later there will be boxing, Olympic

medallist Michael Conlon from Northern Ireland is a big draw but

first of all let's have a look at the Welsh oxer who had real

disappointment at the Olympics, hoping to do extremely well here at

Glasgow 2014. As I got older I got better, I used to lose a lot. I was

fed up with losing! My mother said keep at it. Mums know best. In 2010

you were that low when you lost, how low were you? It is in games like

this that the top and bottom scores are discarded. What a great last

round. Khan has won it. He has defeated the double European bronze

medallist. Everybody who watched on TV knew I won that, they called it a

count back. I thought I should have one. I tore my vest off and quit for

a while. I thought I had to win. It was a close fight but I thought I

did enough to win it. When it comes to the commonwealths I am assuming

that is not the way you wanted to finish your Commonwealth career. I

have improved a lot since then. I will go for gold. I can see on your

face you are focused for this. There is pressure on me as well, I have to

prove it to everybody. STUDIO: Welsh flyweight Andrew Selby, we wish him

all the best when he gets up and running here. We also want you to

share your experiences with us here by sending your Commonwelfies, using

the hash tag. That is the first one, Scott Phillips on Glasgow Green.

Happy and smiley. And Ian Harrison, at the triathlon. Is it his wife or

sister? Maybe his daughter. I have no idea. There is Clyde the mascot,

keep sending those in using the hashtag Commonwelfie. I cannot get

that right, it is complicated. We will go to Badminton now, Wales

taking on Canada in the mixed team event. We are now going to the

women's singles. COMMENTATOR: Nice symmetry but

really should have been a better scoreline. Michelle Li was fully

focused throughout the match. Plenty of action going on on some of the

other courts in this Emirates Arena and once again there is a good crowd

in, 6000 people can be accommodated. As we go towards the

medal matches in the team competition and the individuals I am

sure it will be even busier. Let's look back at that women's singles.

The start of both games was pretty close. 6-6 in the first game, 7-7 in

the second. It was around the net that this woman was able to

dominate. The serve not quite good enough which allowed Michelle Li to

clinch the first game. Turner played well overhead. But in the forecourt

was always struggling. Moving back to cover the left. Really struggled

to get the next one. Which she thought might have been going wide.

Might have been able to leave that one. -- which we thought might have

gone wide. All right. So with Canada having taken the lead, next is the

men's doubles. Taking you through that one as soon the players come

out. STUDIO: That is fantastic, you go live to the match just as it

finishes. Let me tell you about the team competition, best of five,

men's singles, then women's singles, then men's doubles, female doubles

and then mixed doubles. You need to get to three matches. Let me tell

you one or two things about where we are here in Glasgow. We are on the

Bells Bridge, behind me that is an iconic sign, the crane, it was used

of course during the time of shipbuilding. Glasgow one of the

shipbuilding capitals of the world. This river here was the place where

they sent ships around the world, that Finnieston crane was one of the

last cranes of that size that is kept as a reminder to the once great

city that was involved in shipbuilding. Only one yard just

further down there on the other side of the river that is still in

operation but this river was indeed the pathway to the world. Just over

there, if you can see just be on there, we are on the south of the

river, we have the BBC building just behind as we walk around slowly

giving everybody the chance to disappear. The BBC building behind

me. I talked earlier about the fact that the science centre is down

there, to put it in context. Up the river towards the city centre of the

other side of Pacific Quay. We can go back to the parameter now? Yes,

let's head over there. That was a lovely little Phil. Well, not

lovely, it felt long. COMMENTATOR: The Welsh men, with

their back to the camera. Nic Strange 27 years old and living in

Cardiff. Adrian Liu Derrick Ng and for Canada. His brother was playing

in the mixed doubles earlier, Toby. He won comfortable yin two games.

And Morgan of Wales. Living in Cardiff. 35 years old. Nic Strange

also living in Cardiff. So far as you can see. Canada with an

unassailable lead. Wales playing for pride now in these last two matches.

And this is the umpire. From India. The service judge. Alistair Wilson

from Scotland. CHEERING The players getting ready. The final

preparation for this match. Ladies and gentlemen, on the right,

Canada represented by Adrian Liu and Derrick Ng. And on my left, the

Welsh represented by Joe Morgan and Nicholas strange. Canada to serve,

Adrian Nic Strange to Joe Morgan. Play.

The world ranking, not much between these pairs. 77, the Welsh. And the

Canadians are 76. Not much between them in terms of world ranking. But

I suspect that we will have a very attacking Canadian double. Trying to

really forced their way through the Welsh defence.

Very nicely disguised. Everyone was expecting that power smash. I think

he played that very beautifully, that drop shot. Surprising his

opponents. That follow-up from Joe Morgan, it

was Nic Strange who played that drop shot that was followed up by his

partner and that was a very good move. That was good serving and a

good return of -- return. That centre of the court is always

concerning for any player who is going to take it. And obviously you

have to have some plans for that. You have to make the decision on the

forehand, who is going to take it, should that happen. But the

Canadians are hanging in, here. They were trailing by one point.

Going long on the baseline. Nic Strange will have to watch out. He

made too many mistakes. the net. He played the back of the

net. To ensure the point for the Canadians.

The Welsh are really have to watch out for that baseline when they are

lifting. As we said, they are playing with the drift.

And I have noticed that Nic Strange, when standing at that side of the

court, he has a very strong tendency to go across the court all of the

time and he has to watch out. So that it is not becoming too easy to

predict. Into the interval. 7-6 for the Canadian combination.

And that same shot, just from a different angle.

I think the Welsh pair really have to remove off on the court, here.

Because the Canadian pair do not want to left everything. Everything

they are doing is to keep things below and around the net. In the

mid-court area. The Welsh guys really have to step up and make sure

they cover that. And add on the pressure to the Canadian pair.

Derrick Ng is implying that the service was too high.

That was beautifully played by Joe Morgan. The block shot, care. And

then taking control of the net. That was well played. -- here.

This first game is far from over. The Welsh guys are hanging in.

Trailing by three points. The flick serve.

I am sure that Derrick Ng will be very positive in this return.

Joe Morgan is having a very good serve and I can see that the

Canadian pair is really struggling to be able to attack on the return

of serve. And that is really upsetting the rhythm a little bit.

Once again, confusion. In the centre. And in my book, there is no

doubt that Joe Morgan is the one standing on the cross and also

closest to the net in that situation.

The light distracted Derrick Ng. These television lights are very

strong so when you look into it, you can get landed. And you can miss

time your shots. from the Welsh side, I think

pressure should be added on to Adrian Liu because he seemed to be

making more mistakes in his partner and from the Canadian point of view,

Joe Morgan, the 35-year-old, is the better of the two players. Wales

really need to win this. You'll to leave this. Coverage will continue

on the Red Button. We will be heading to the velodrome but let's

get some news with Tina. Yeah, I am looking for

a Prince Charming. I don't think I'm ugly, but I don't

think I'm, like, really pretty. I say, "You've got something

on your bum." "Really?" And I say, Back to the action in Glasgow

and the cycling in Glasgow. Glasgow, still to come this morning

we have boxing, also highlights from Scotland's opening encounter in the

hockey. But now we head to the velodrome for the men's sprint and

women's pursuit. Jonathan Edwards is there but before we start talking

about cycling, news breaking just now from Wales, their captain and

European 400 metre hurdles Manor has apparently failed a drugs test,

terrible news. Really shocking news, I know Rhys very well indeed, it

falls on the back of another positive drugs test with the 800

metre runner having to be withdrawn. We will wait to see what his

comments are, it was an competition test Hampton Park. It is only the

second day of the Commonwealth Games come already this will probably be

the headline tomorrow in the newspapers. You do not want to jump

to any conclusions but people watching at home will think that

perhaps this is an excuse. There is an issue with contamination that we

have seen. Athletes will cry wolf and say it is something they have

not done knowingly. We saw it with Alain Baxter at the Winter Olympic

's, with a banned substance in his inhaler. It is not great news. You

have been at many major championships as well. When you come

to something like this where it is not just an athletics team but the

whole love Wales, he is the team captain. What will this do for the

feeling within the camp? Wales anyway have had a tough time with

the lead up to this games. Lots of their top athletes pulling out,

Stanford yesterday in the triathlon. It has been tough for them. Then you

add this sense of, maybe they will feel he has let them down. It will

be another knock for them, they have to pick themselves up. Sad news we

are having to talk about this already. Yesterday in the

velodrome, wonderful stuff, lots of excitement, today we expect a lot

more? We certainly do, Sir Chris Hoy and Dame Sarah Storey alongside me.

Both excited about immense. Chris, particularly with you watching Jason

Kenny? He is up against some strong Kiwis, with Sam Webster. Now we will

head to the track because Jason Kenny and Matthew Glaetzer are there

ready for the first race. COMMENTATOR: First up, the sprint of

the highest quality potentially with the Olympic champion Jason Kenny,

who struggled in qualifying, only 11th fastest. Had to come through

repechage. Now he is up against the rider who broke the game 's record

in the flying 200 metres in qualification, who was impressive in

winning his first round matchup as well, Matthew Glaetzer from

Australia. Rob Hayles me. , this is a tough match for Jason. Half a

second was the difference which over 200 metres is massive. Jason Kenny

needs to bring some tactics in this race, cannot rely on his speed. .5

the second is a huge disadvantage. While his individual performance was

apparently below par yesterday he took part for England in the team

sprint when they won the silver medal. It was much better for him in

the afternoon session. He is trying to steal a march here on Matthew

Glaetzer, he has gone early can he hang on? Jason Kenny will try to

lead this one out the hard way. From the front. Glaetzer closing in

overtime. We'll Jason Kenny hang on? More than that, he takes the first

race. You said it was about tactics, Rob. It worked for him. You do not

see that very often. Against Sir Chris Hoy people used to go for the

long one. They had to take the advantage. Jason Kenny certainly

made the most of that. I do not think he will be allowed to do that

again. He really needed it. He needed to take Glaetzer unawares,

get the distance. Then it was just about holding on. His coach on the

inside, giving him the thumbs up, saying this is good but you need to

keep this going. Down the back straight Glaetzer was trying to get

into his slipstream. But he-man out of track. Kenny knew what a tough

matchup this would be because the parent them raced against each other

in a final in Mexico in one of the World Cup meetings last winter and

the Australian came out on top. Jason Kenny leading from the front

from a long way out. A big effort. It paid off. Already had an extra

ride in this competition coming through repechage, and that was a

big effort. He will need to warm down properly to get the lactic acid

out of his legs. Action flick and fast, the second race ready to go,

Matt Crampton, 28. Another rider who came through the first round

repechage, up against Eddie Dawkins, who won the team sprint with New

Zealand yesterday afternoon. He is a world champion in the team sprint

already sent already a gold medal in his pocket. Crampton is silver

medallist in Melbourne, in 2006, that was in the team sprint. Into

the last eight here in the match sprint. Dawkins second qualifier

yesterday in 9.818. Nor .4 seconds difference, Crampton slower.

Crampton will have to use all of his skills as a sprinter rather than

relying on his speed. He is just not as quick as Dawkins. The Kiwis

really have come on strong in the sprint events in the last few years.

Crampton certainly experienced, European keirin champion from three

years ago. High up on the banking. Using the banking, hopefully to best

effect here. Dawkins holding the inside line, halfway round the final

lap, this will be close. Then Dawkins looks as though he has the

speed. And he has the legs. Matt Crampton tried to use the height of

the banking to get a good run on Dawkins but Dawkins kept him on his

hip meaning Crampton had to go around the long way. That is the

hard way to do it. Even with this long home straight which allows

riders to come out even with this long home straight which allows

riders to come out and have more of a chance of overtaking up the home

straight he just was not able to do it. I am not sure Dawkins has ever

been in better form. He has looked blisteringly fast. Not only

physically are they stronger. They also have the psychological

advantage that they have already got a win, world champions in the team

sprint this year. It is a toff one. When you get the momentum, it really

lifts everybody's morale. Time and again we see the British riders, it

is all about the Olympic cycle. The situation they are in now is not

unfamiliar. It is a template they have moved to great effect in the

last two Olympic cycles. The expectation is that every time a

British rider puts on their skin suit and gets on the boards we

expect so much from them. But ultimately it is about the Olympics

and that is how they prioritise. Webster in the Black of New Zealand.

He won the gold medal yesterday in the team sprint. And a rider who

first came to prominence as a junior when he won four gold medals five

years ago in the World Championships, Awang of Malaysia,

the first Malaysians cyclist ever to win a World Championship final, back

in 2009. -- to make the final. He is better known as a clearing rider.

Yes, better known in the keirin, he is electrifying. Tactics is

something that he really does bring in. These two are not hanging

around, there is no cat and mouse. Elbows and eyeballs out all the way

to the line. Webster in the lead. Awang trying to get on level terms.

Webster takes it. These riders relatively closely matched on speed,

only 0.2 of a second on qualification yesterday. Really

evenly matched. Webster had the distance and the strength, Awang

trying to use the banking to slingshot around into the home

straight to try to get past Webster but he did not have the strength.

Webster leading out of the banking and Awang unable to close the gap in

the closing metres. Clear win for Sam Webster of New Zealand.

Continuing their excellent performance so far in Glasgow.

Glaetzer, Dawkins and Webster winning the first heat so far in the

men's sprint quarterfinals. The first race coming up in Heat 4, next

on the track in the next minute or so. In the yellow and green of

Australia is Peter Lewis, competing in the Commonwealth Games for the

first time at 24. We mentioned him yesterday, he had a good turn a half

months often the bike in the winter after being diagnosed with glandular

fever, as you suggested it does not appear to have done him any harm in

the long run. Really is riding well, one of the new crop of

Australian sprinters. The Aussies in particular have an extremely good

pedigree in sprinting. Over many generations of cyclists. But this

match here, very even. Peter Lewis, the Australian on the inside. 9.9,

only 0.1 quicker than Archibald, the kiwi. The Australian has to take the

lead. Unless Archibald decides to take it from him. Very evenly

matched, this could go either way. As a result of the illness Lewis had

pretty much written the season off but recovered rather more quickly

than he thought he would. Perhaps he has been preparing

than he thought he would. Perhaps he psychological pressure having

written his psychological pressure having

athletes coming back from injury and illness, and they can come back with

a vengeance. Matthew Archibald, team sprint winner in the World Cup with

us New Zealand. Has shown he is in good form. As they take the bell,

one lap to go. Archibald trying to use the advantage of the banking.

Being held off by Lewis, there will not be much between them as they

crossed the line but by half a bike length it is Peter Lewis who gains

the early advantage in length it is Peter Lewis who gains

the early advantage this quarterfinal. Archibald did not give

Lewis much room to manoeuvre, trying to push him on, trying to get him to

do all of the work at the front. Archibald was hoping to use the

banking again but he was a little bit too tight on the back wheel of

Lewis so he did not allow himself room to manoeuvre into the

slipstream to get the acceleration. The speed difference coming into the

home straight, he had to fight him all the way. This is quite a long

home straight, slightly different shaped track to the ones that a lot

of the riders are used to, especially in Manchester, more of a

bowl shape, bigger banking is, this one with a longer straight you can

use the slipstream effect on the banking if you get it right, to

slingshot you out up the home straight to get a few more

rider in front. Lewis faces -- bases himself in

Adelaide. It a hotbed of cycling down under. Originally from New

South Wales. He will begin his warm down and they will be back on the

track later for race two, we have the women's individual pursuit

qualification rides coming up on the track and a really high quality

field, to look forward to there. And the women's individual pursuit will

be up on the track in the next couple of minutes or so, but so far

then, early wins in the men's quarter-final. Dawkins won up on

Matthew Crampton, Sam web the beating Awang and Peter Lewis won on

Matthew Archibald. Let us reflect on those sprints.

Matthew Archibald. Let us reflect on those sprints.

They were very different quarter-final, ball intriguing,

particularly Kenny's at the start. He took the initiative there,

two-and-a-half laps out, making the move, you could see Glaetzer wasn't

expecting that. It is rare for people to go for what we call a long

one at this level, and he caught him napping. Opened up a huge gap.

Glaetzer still had the chase. Didn't get him. They will feel that in

their legs in the next round. In terms of Jason's tactics that was a

tacit admission he didn't have the leg to beat him on a short sprint

You don't you that if you thought you could beat them a normal sprint.

It takes extra energy to do that. He has done it before, he did it in the

world final in 2011, sorry 2012, he beat him, but he was relegated for

having come out of the sprinter's lane, I don't think it is a sign of

guest desperation here it is one of his strengths is his acceleration,

he has rattled Matthew Glaetzer and he has to beat him one more time and

he will be through to the semifinals. After the silver medal

in the team pursuit. The sprint, which the team were very pleased

with and Jason in particular, I wonder if we will see a new

confident Jason Kenny today, because he has been struggling a bit, with

his focus and confidence? Yesterday morning wasn't a great qualification

in the individual sprint, so it is good to get a medal in the

afternoon, it is a new day, wipe the slate clean, it has proven, you

know, really good this morning. Matthew Crampton lost his fist race

against Edward Dawkins, the way he raced? I think, you know, he is up

against it, in terms of the difference in pace. Edward Dawkins

has got so much gas at the moment, he is flying. It is tough when on

paper you don't have the pace. Matt is experienced, he performed well

but he didn't have the gas in the tank. Your pick to win this? Sam

Webster. He was good in the team sprint yesterday. You were talking

about the fact he was perhaps spinning a smaller gear today. It

looked as though, to my eye looked as if he had come down the gear

slightly, perhaps to save his legs a bit. Maybe he was confident he could

beat Awang comfortably. He will have to come back up to the bigger gears

for the semifinal and final when he is racing faster opponent, he but he

looks good out there and he races very well, in terms of the match

sprint, the tactics. The idea, I guess, is not to give your muscles a

bit of a break from that big gear? Yes the bigger gear will be more

fatiguing over a long sprint competition, he started out

yesterday, they have a recovery overnight and come back strong this

morning, so if has had a slightly smaller gear it might allow him to

recover that bit more. His own team-mate is riding very well as

well, so he needs to make sure he is firing on all cylinder toser the

next round. Chris, you were talking about the way the gearing in

sprinting has evolved from what, 96. 96 you look at, in the kilo Florian,

he had a 96 inch gear, small by modern standard, over the last 10,

20 years the gears have got bigger, has gravitated to a strength power

based effort, and it is more efficient, it is more efficient to

pedal as a slower cadence and you have to train very hard to adapt to

that. The times get quicker. The endurance riders are using bigger

gears and you can see people ask how do records keep getting broken? They

think it is new bikes and equipment, it is about the, it is evolution in

gear size. You have this balance between a muscular fatigue and

almost your heart, and in your cadence and how hard you are pushing

that. Yes you can reach a cadence fatigue where you can't pedal any

quicker because your legs are going round so fast, you get the muscular

fatigue because you have pushed that bigger gear, so you are trying to

find the balance and that is why people are using gym work, they are

going on on the road bike, different training for different athletes to

help them get the strength they need. You look back on the road, and

I know it is different from the track and we talked about Lance

Armstrong, you look at Chris Froome and he pedals very fast up the

hills, is that a different energy management that is going on there?

It is all relative. You look at what you call very fast cadence, you are

looking at 100 RPM. When it is unloaded, on a static bike we have

hit over 322 RPM on a static bike, it is a if the rent athlete, and it

is really, it is about finding that optimum cadence, it is not the same

for every athlete. The higher cadence you are on a fixed wheel as

wit, it may not seem it, you are pushing against yourself, so it is

about that cord nation, and you think peddling a bike is easy but it

is the co-ordination... 320. No bounce, up and down. It is a blur.

Let us focus on the individual pursuit now for women. Your event,

and this is fascinating because you are got the five team pursuit girls

from Team GB facing up against each other We have got eight riders from

the Home Nations here, we have also got the five team pursuiters, we

have Amy Roberts. Anna Turvey and Ciara Horne so there is eight girls

here and they are vying for a place in rye you in 2016. But this is the

individual vent. Subtly different. No wheels to hide on. No changes in

the bankings, but I think the favourite has to be Joanna Rowsell

after her World Championship in Colombia earlier this year. And from

a Scottish point of view, I think everybody is very keen to see what

happen Katie Archibald does. She is a ballsy rider if I can put it so

bluntly. He is scared of nobody She is fantastic, I have been working

with her on the road, she is a brilliant rider to have round. She

is bubbly, she is just so driven as well, and she is going to have the

support of this crowd behind her, there will be will be an extra level

for Katie, she is a brilliant rider. You will have to look out for her

hair colour. We expect it to be blue and white You can never tell with

Katie. She is a breath of fresh air is Katie. She stepped into an

Olympic winning team. She is now world record holder. Nothing seems

to phase her, this will be a breakthrough Championship for her,

she has been seen as a team play e this is her chance to shine

individually. She hasn't been one of the Scottish poster girls or boys,

not like an Eilidh Child or Jamieson, she has been under the

radar. She has, she will be stepping out from the shadows a bit here, and

you know, the crowd are going to go wild for her, it is an amazing

story, she has not been doing it for that long, she joined my cycling

club in Edinburgh and she started racing at Meadowbank and Glasgow and

it has been amazing 12 months. Didn't she start with grass racing?

Yes, grass track and the national road championships just over 12

months ago, she rode the time trials and came in top ten. She is

flourishing, she is an immense talent. The riders everybody will

know are Laura Trott and Dani King from London 2012. What should we

expect from them? This is an interesting challenge for them, the

team pursuit, they have used it as an opportunity to peak for a pursuit

type vent in the summer, normally for the World Championships you get

the opportunity to go through the World Cup series and peak for the

World Championships, whereas for Rio, it is a summer programme so

they will be coming off a road programme and into the Olympic Games

in the team pursuit. So subtly different preparation, so it will be

interesting to see how the girls go here and they have the bunch race,

there is no Omnium for Laura here, so it will be interesting to see how

they balance it out. As Dani King got something to prove? We have seen

some of the team pursuit. She has perhaps lost the wheel. You have

Elinor Barker from Wales as well. Katie Archibald has come in. Do you

think she has pressure on her shoulders. I think it will be a

battle royal, because they have the incredible team pursuiters from

Australia. Although they have never topped the British girls Amy Cure is

a good rider, so we can't discount the Australians and the New Zealand

girls, Jaime Nielsen has, and Ernie Els and they are coming back --

Ellis. So, we are not sure what the Kiwi girls will be capable of. We

need not be too blinkered about the Home Nations. We saw with last

night, the one you don't expect to Ieuan Wyn Joneses, and it is

interest -- to win, wins. People know Laura Trott, they know Dani

King but Katie Archibald will come in with something to prove. They

work for each other and train with each other, day in, day out, they

are competitors, they wouldn't in that position if they weren't. This

is a chance the shine individually and there is a bit of pride at

stake. In terms of the pain, we heard Bradley talking about having a

bit of holiday on the track last night. But this is your event,

Sarah, give us an idea of how tough it is? You are trying to get out the

start gate ass possible to get up to speed, in a similar way the girls

will be used to in the team pursuits. You are trying to keep a

bit in reserve, you want to make sure you have something for the

second kilo and final kilo as well. Where they will be used to the third

kilometre, in an individual pursuit you don't have that. In team pursuit

you drift out in the straights to give your team a nice line so even

is getting the shelter, here you will want to be on the black line,

if not under slightly to make sure you have shortest way round the

track. When it is hitting the pain you have to push through. Cadence is

important as well and the cadence the sprinters have got up the 200

RMM. They will need to control that. They will have a slightly slower

cadence but not too low otherwise the gay gear will get too big for

them. It is tactic, and really good precision when they get on there.

How much do you do in training? I know the cyclists at home will be

fascinated, to get that balance which works for you, what works for

one might not work for another, that sort of equation? It is trial and

errors and you know, you just, you go up and down through the gears,

you wouldn't necessarily use the same for every effort, in every

session, you would go, build up to the session and see maybe like a

bell curve in the middle. There is an optimum speed, cadence, gears and

you learn through trial and errors but it is interesting because you

don't reach your peak form until the last minute so you have to make the

decisions fairly close to competition as to what gear you can

use, on the day you can change your opinion depending on conditions, on

the track, on how you feel. Sop the way this works, is it is a

time trial for this morning and the top two will race against gold and

the next two would go for the bronze. For the top athlete, are Tay

looking perhaps to hold a bit back or is this going to be a flat out

effort? We have ten heats of the qualification, if you look at Dani

King going in heat six, she will have four heats. That is eight

riders going off her, she won't have any tactic, it will be a full gas

effort. As you move down, when you get to Katie and Joanna in the final

two heats they will know the times that have been posted before them.

They may have the opportunity to adjust their schedule but we expect

the likes of Elinor, Amy Cure, they will post fast times so I don't

think will have the chance to qualify comfortably. It will be two

full gas efforts today. Jamaica and India are going at the

moment. Looking down the order, in the third race off will be Anna

Turvey of Scotland. Do you know too much about her? This will be a

massive occasion for he she is delighted to be here, you never

really know what is going to happen, it is your first major Championship,

hopefully she will enjoy it, post a personal Bank of Scotland. I don't

think we expect to see her in the medal conenion, but you never know,

you saw in the swimming yesterday, the expected champion didn't quite

make it. And bark b of Wales, we haven't talked about he a young

rider, come into the team, again, not one of the better known name,

how would you see her going today? She is a junior World Champion from

the road and came into the team pursuit after the games in London

and is a World Champion on the track twice over. She is an incredible

talent and has been riding well on the road. She rode well at the

national Championships and is coming into the track season as it starts

after we come home from the Commonwealth Gameses can, she has a

great chance. She rode the individual pursuit last winter. So,

she is one to watch out for, it is interesting talking about Anna

Turvey, she was a triathlete 12 months ago she has come in from a

time trial background, the first time she came on the track she rode

a 3 minutes 40 without any previous experience, now she has had a few

weeks the the team and she has had a few experts about her, it will be

interesting to see what time she can get. We have the men's IP coming up

later. We are surprised, Chris, that Bradley didn't decide to ride that

one. He decided to give it a skip. It would have made sense, it would

have been good for the crowd. We are expecting Jack Bobridge from

Australia to be the man to beat, the world record holder. Not sure of the

reasons behind that, maybe he has to get back to the day job. Interesting

interview he gave to Jill Douglas yesterday about the politics of road

racing. He seems a little bit jaded with the road cycling. You never

know what is going on behind the scenes. He has clearly enjoyed being

back on the track. You never know with Bradley. With him now it is

about focusing on radio, and the Paris-Roubaix. -- focusing on the

road. What about the dynamics between road and track and the

atmosphere in the teams? On a road cycling team you have to put your

efforts behind one rider who potentially takes the glory. But if

they are good they will really support their team-mates. Mark

Cavendish at the end of the sprint when his lead out train of however

many riders, he is the first person to go up and thank them. And really

celebrate the work they put into his victory. But when you are working on

the track it is one for all and all for one because you cross the finish

line together and there as equals on the podium. It needs to be managed.

For Bradley this is more about some of the Demons he has had in his head

since 2012 rather than the different dynamics from the road to the track?

It is hard to explain, the somebody like Brad, you think you won the

Tour de France, Olympic gold medals, 2012 should have been the

year of your life. It is dealing with success, almost as hard as

dealing with failure, in some ways even harder. He had hard times

following London, following the Tour de France when, last season was not

great for him. - -- win. It is hard when you scale the highest heights.

Rio is a completely different thing for him. Fresh start for him. They

certainly have a target, the Australians yesterday in the team

pursuit final, frankly they crushed England. They did. Obviously there

is a huge mountain to climb in terms of the six second gap in the final

and there is a lot less variables on the track to control. On the road,

300 kilometre race, 180 riders, cobbles, street furniture,

spectators, dogs, helicopters, so many things you have to control. You

cannot control them all. When he talks about the track being a breath

of fresh air that is because he can control more things. The he will be

able to use that as a last big push before we get to Rio. Hopefully they

will climb the mountain. History of getting it right in British cycling,

but now we head to the track, Anna Turvey going in the individual

pursuit. There we go, time to hand you over to Simon Brotherton and Rob

Hayles. COMMENTATOR:, Anna Turvey from the host nation, 34-year-old

optician, only took up cycling competitively last summer but here

she is on the big stage in front of a full house in the velodrome. She

said six months ago she would have laughed if you told she would be

here. And Stephanie roorda, born and raised in Calgary and now based on

the West Coast. This is not a knockout situation, they are trying

to post the best time. 12 laps, knockout situation, they are trying

metres, this is the third heat of ten. A good start by both riders.

The Canadian utilising the team pursuit experience she has got. The

Canadians are one of the only squads who have

Canadians are one of the only squads British girls. And here, Turvey, the

Scottish rider, has hardly any experience in this event at all, in

cycling in fact. Interesting to see how she delivers her effort. Will

she go out to hard in front of the home crowd? That will be the hardest

thing in some respects I suppose, controlling the effort. Not getting

carried away with the occasion. Control in the individual pursuit

especially is the key word. It is about delivering your effort, not

going to steady but not going to hard in the early stages. If you go

into the red too early there is no way of recovering. They come through

the first kilometre, Anna Turvey with the faster time. Over one

second faster than Roorda. She is the second fastest so far of the

riders who have been. A good opening kilometre by Turvey, has she gone

out to hard because of the home crowd? Mark Mackay, assistant coach,

stood on the line, taking two steps towards her, meaning she is just

down on her schedule, she could well be dropping off and starting to pay

for the opening kilometre. The opening half a dozen laps are where

she will be hoping to ride on the wave of infusion as. She will need

all of their support to keep the power going through the pedals, it

really starts to hurt. And once the screw starts to turn, especially now

into this last kilometre, they really can start to hurt. Anna

Turvey through, still the fastest times so far. She has been pulling

away from the time set by Roorda that's far as well. -- thus far.

These to the fastest so far as expected. Both those coaches

starting to walk the line, there are two ways of passing information, you

either walk on the line towards the rider, which means they are on

schedule or away from the rider which means they are up. Sometimes

they will shout information, but it is much easier to get the visual

representation. This is the part where it is all about leading as

deep as you possibly can. CHEERING You have two late yet down on the

track over the final lap. That is what Anna Turvey is going to do. She

has TU is the banking to slingshot along the back straight and round

into the last quarter of the lap. Being roared on by the Glasgow crowd

into the finishing straight. It is a new fastest time, to the top of the

early leaderboard and Stephanie Roorda goes well enough to move into

second place with five riders having completed the distance so far. Anna

Turvey, that was a solid performance from her. I think she should be

happy with that. A good start out of the gate. Nice solid start. Down

into the first banking, when she got into position she looked good, she

looked calm. She looks well in control. Just wavering a little bit

off the black line. Needs to try to stay near the black line as close as

possible in the banking. Take the shortest line around the track. If

you get below it then even better. Quite a remarkable athlete as we

mentioned, she only took up cycling one year ago. Previously a

triathlete, but only to add up about five years ago, winning national

titles. She came fourth in the World Championship. -- took that up. I

think triathlete, swimming especially, gives them an extremely

good grounding for pretty much any sport. Lots of swimmers come through

in two different sports. Dame Sarah Storey one of them, working with

us, the grounding bird that sport, the effort involved in swimming,

really passes on to so many other sports. The 18-year-old from

Caernarvon, Amy Roberts, she writes for the Wriggle Honda team. --

rides. One of so many young talented Welsh cyclist coming through. Jasmin

Glaesser more experienced, she got two medals at the watcher ships,

silver in team pursuit a bronze medal in the appointees macro race

as well. She has just turned 22. -- in the points race. This is Heat 4

of ten in this women's individual pursuit qualifying.

Away they go, 12 laps of the track. Nice solid start by both riders.

Good start by both of them, nice and tight to the black line. The

Canadian imposition, into the tuck position as quickly as possible,

then the triathlon position, the most aerodynamic and efficient once

you are up to speed. Then relax and concentrate on your coach,

concentrate on your effort. Don't go too hard to early otherwise you will

pay for it. Glaesser has been on the scene for a good three years or so,

has been winning medals at world and Olympic level. Olympic bronze as

well silvers at the World Championship. More major

championship experience under the wheels of Jasmin Glaesser. Darren

Tudor, the Welsh coach, walking a good three or four steps away from

his rider, Amy Roberts. I am wondering if she has gone out a bit

too hard. She is well up on schedule. Amy Roberts goes through,

second-fastest so far. Close between these two. Second and third quickest

at the one kilometre point. Darren Tudor walk is one step down towards

his rider. She has obviously backed off, on schedule. They split your

perceived finishing time and break it down into 12 laps. Normally five

or six seconds added onto the opening lap to take up the standing

start. When they have broken it down that is where you get your schedule

and they will walk toward you if you are down or away from you if you are

up. So you can judge your effort by that. Amy Roberts one of two strong

Welsh teenagers taking part in this women's individual pursuit. In Heat

8, Elinor Barker, world champion in the team pursuit, riding in the same

heat as Amy Cure, current world champion. Very tight between these

two, this is not a race between them, it is all about the finishing

times, to get your qualification. Darren Tudor just urging an Amy

Roberts now. Two laps to go the these riders now. Really will start

to be burning now, but they cannot hold back now, it is all about

squeezing every last drop of effort. Urged on by Darren Tudor, the last

two laps now for Urged on by Darren Tudor, the last

Jasmin Glaesser. Technique so important in the latter stages. BELL

When you start to type that is when you come out of the aerodynamic

position. -- tire. Both riders doing well at the moment. Amy Roberts

looking neat and tidy as she powers down the back straight. About three

quarters of the way through her final lap, Glaesser coming up

towards the line. A great experience here at a major

senior championship. Quickly into her stride.

And at the top of the leader board thus far.

We see a shot of that little box under the saddle there.

Of Glaesser. That is the box that takes all the

data from the chain set, from the cranks, that rotate with the chain

round it, and that takes all the information revolutions, speed, but

also more importantly, the power that each rider is putting out. That

is measured in watts, like a light bulb. They will take that data. They

will plug that into a laptop and give them all the information they

need. A bit like telemetry in Formula One. That is how they base

their training round that, training and recovery. It has been a massive,

played a massive part in the cop development of training techniques,

and also, rider position and equipment, all that measures device.

A lot of the riders are using that these days.

Next on the track will be heat five, Annette Edmondson against Laura

Brown of Canada. Annette Edmondson comes from a real cycling family,

her younger brother Alex winning the team pursuit yesterday, to go with

his World Championship. He is the individual pursuit World Champion.

She is no slouch either. Three silver medal and four bronze medal

for her, and Laura Brown, silver medallist this year in the worlds,

in the team pursuit for Canada, they are making progress in that
