BBC Three: Day 4: 09:00-14:00 Commonwealth Games

There are some wind, rain clouds but that certainly won't dampen spirits.

Warm welcome. It's Sunday, traditionally a day of rest but they

will be no letup in the intensity as we

will be no letup in the intensity as enter our fourth day. The medals for

the home nations have been flowing in and it just gets better.

Australia try to resist but Scotland are going to make it!

Australia now top the medal count, but for England, some gold medals in

the Paul and in weightlifting. In judo, home nations continue to

dominate. There will also gold medals in the velodrome, Natalie

Powell made it to crow gold medals for the principality.

So the question that was continue and the early birds hoped to catch

the worm. Alex Marshall and Paul Foster, who won gold back in 2006

are taking on Andrew Napper and some ketchup or a place in the bowls

finals. And at the Emirates arena, badminton is up and running, getting

towards the gold medal matches pretty soon. More that come. Coming

up here on BBC Three, we're off to the international hockey centre at

Kelvingrove as Scotland but their commonwealth credentials to the test

against holders Australia. We have action from the swimming pool, and

we will be catching up with the bold semifinal. -- the bowls semifinal.

It's the first day of athletics at Glasgow 2014 and on BBC One, they

are covering the marathon. You know what they have got, you know what we

have got but there is plenty more live sport to in jaw. -- to enjoy.

It is the mixed teams semifinal in badminton. If you are on the move,

even going to see the marathon, you don't have to miss out, download the

app and you can catch all the action on your mobile device. My goodness,

the sun has just come out. The marathon is underway, the women's

marathon underway at 9:30 a.m., any discussion of thoughts you have

about anything you see on the programmes, online or on the red

button, hashtag BBC Glasgow 2014 or send us your photographs. Or hashtag

Commonwelfies look at this one here. Very proud Scot, clearly. You may

have seen Matthew Wright in action, here he is. But send us your

Commonwelfies, and we will put them up through the course of the day. A

feast of tasty sport on the menu. Let's get up and running with the

first one, it is hockey. Scotland against Australia.

The thing that Emily Maguire could be, she had to back off the five

metres or it would be a penalty corner anyway -- nothing. The

scoreboard momentarily flashed up penalty struck, but it is a penalty

corner. Last 15 seconds for the Scottish defence to prepare. White

is waiting. Let's see what Scotland can do. Not much. Australia, off the

mark! Brilliant goal by Kenny. She is in

fine form in this tournament. Puts it into the roof of the net above

the diving Gibson. The start that Scotland didn't want. Having been on

the front foot for the first 90 seconds, they concede a penalty

corner and it is beautifully executed by Kenny.

Scotland, reeling from the shock of the early goal.

A beautiful pass right down the middle from the halfway line. Real

danger here as Scotland attempt to clear their lines. Another penalty

corner. A Scottish put on to put the circle

agreed to the umpire. -- a Scottish put on top of the circle according

to the umpire. I think it bubbles off Rebecca Ward in the end. It was

close, and no complaint from Scotland. So Kenny is poised again.

Absolutely stunning work in the Scottish goal from Amy Gibson. We

thought she was going to be busy today, Kenny has gone the same spot,

and why wouldn't you after you have scored a bullet from the first

corner, but a fantastic save, that will definitely give a boost to the

Scottish team. The passing from Australia is

fantastic. Once again, great save by Gibson, the shot was straight at

her, but she did it confidently. Switching it right over

hand side. Danger for Scotland here. They will be happy to just slow

things down and take the free hit. Scotland, in a tight spot. The blue

shirts are charging forward again. Australia, with an amazing ability

to run into Scotland, looking for a way out.

Eventually pushed behind. Australia, looking for a Scottish

Georgina Parker. The sun is coming out. After the

early showers, blessed with beautiful weather again for the next

few minutes at least. Despite the early goal, not a bad

start for Scotland. I have been impressed with the way they have

tried to play. The key to unlocking the Australian team defence is that

you have to move the ball quickly and Scotland have tried to do that.

They are coming forward again. Three Scottish players in the T. -- D.

Scotland camped out in the Australian half now. That is good

tackling all the way to the line of the circle. Scotland are almost

doing to Australia what Australia do to teams and that is pressed hard. A

lot of ball high up the pitch. They keep working really hard. Kidd

again. Takes it on. Bounces it across and it is behind. Scotland

have another go. Kidd, same choice. That was not so clever though. Lack

of control from Nikki Kidd but an encouraging site. For the host

nation. Aerial ball, bouncing and taken by Ferrer, good control. Slows

things down. -- taken by Davies. Blyth, captain. Three Scottish

players around her. Bone, her 50th cap, all the way back to Jodie Kenny

and Australia come down the right-hand side now with Casey

Eastham and at speed. Nice little push forward, off-balance. Building

a positive move and they have got four in the T. -- D. Reverse

sticking, coming out again, solid defence from Scotland.

Australia, always dangerous in this situation, Parker. Some relief for

Scotland and they can make a couple of substitutions here.

Taken quickly. Bell charging. Tags inside, good work from Bell. Flicked

into the D. Australia back quickly to defend. For Australia. Flicked it

back. Madonna Blyth. Stick control from the captain. Edwina Bone.

Thinking about her options. Flanagan to her left. Goes forward back to

Blyth who is dispossessed by Bell. Scotland are up into Australian

territory. Mr control again, it is out, and lucky. -- unlucky. Could

not get enough stick on the ball to prevent it going out. Really lively

D. The ball was wide but a good effort. Emily Maguire using her

bronze medal Olympic experience. Really positive signs by Scotland,

they are pressing Australia really well. They have to make some of this

pressure count at some stage. Solid defence again from Scotland.

Sometimes their touch has let them down. As Australia break down the

right, it is pushed out of play. Just take the pace off the Australia

attack. It will be Kellie White here for Australia. And that was a little

careless by her. Ball high. Robinson coming back to

pick it up. It will be the Ball high. Robinson coming back to

Still danger. There is a penalty corner.

Australia showing their quality. Mistake originally by the Scottish

defence to give them the ball. Nanscawen on the baseline knows

exactly what she will do to roll it onto a Scotland foot. With all the

pressure Scotland have had, you hope the Scottish defence can keep this

out. Australia with one successful penalty corner already, courtesy of

Jodie Kenny. Right at the start of the match. They will have another

crack at this. Penalty corner for Australia. Kenny's flick, save this

time... But it is in! William goal from Australia. Making something out

of nothing. -- brilliant goal. It is scored by Ashleigh Nelson.

Absolutely brilliant rebound. Initial saved by Gibson, she will be

corner. Australia are asking the and see if there is cause for a

Australia. Georgia Nanscawen and Jodie Kenny,

lining up to potentially have a go at this one. Anna Flanagan is there

as well. It is Kenny. It is a goal. Her second. Australia's third.

Fantastic goal, Jodie Kenny opting to go low this time. Nothing that

Claxton. Nicely done. . All the way to the edge of the circle and she

keeps on going. She pulls it back. Flanagan did well. Such a big unit,

tough to get round. All the way back to Kenny. The other properly tall

member of the Australian side. Eastham. Kenny. Eastham again. A

little bit of passing practice between the two. Flanagan gets

involved. Eastham, too far, Claxton tries to recover. Well shielded.

Scotland looking for a way out. Wyllie, Bunce and Fawcett, scrapping

for possession and eventually, it is a Scotland ball and they speed down

the right. She was tripped while she? -- was she? The umpire reaches

for a card, it is a five-minute suspension. Scotland will have a

real opportunity. Kate Jenner's turn to sit down. During this period of

power play, with the 11 to ten advantage, Scotland must try to use

it and they are in good shape. It is a penalty corner. Scotland's first

of the match. We'll play by Scotland. -- well

played. Poor defending by Australia there. She wouldn't set when the

Bulls crashed into the circle, you hope Scotland can score this to get

back into the game. They can't find a way through.

Bannigan, depending with a face mask on. -- defending.

Fawcett just took a split-2nd too long.

Just to remind you, Scotland have 11 players on the field, Australia only

ten at the moment. They have another three and a half minutes to do some

damage during this period of power play. That was such a good chance!

Sarah Robertson dived at the ball but couldn't make intact. Brilliant

counter attacking play from Scotland. She just couldn't quite

Amy Gibson, busy in the Scotland goal. Three times she has had to

pick the ball out of the back. She's eventually tackled on the edge

but it's an Australia ball. Four minutes for Scotland to get one

back in this opening half. For just held up, but not quite

enough. Just flashing in front of the two

Australian sticks, harmless in the end.

Scotland, with three in the D. Good control.

The ball is still live under there somewhere. It will be a Scotland

ball. Australia, very impressive during

the first 34 minutes of this match. The difference between the two

sides, if you look at the possession, it's probably evenly

split, Australia have just had the quality in and around the circle.

When they get the upper end, you feel something is going to happen.

Scotland have had a lot of possession that's not the end

product so far. Good defence from Scotland. Claxton

is there to pick it up. Emily Smith, holding it up and

finding her way out of trouble, only as far as Kenny.

That will be that for the first half.

So after 35mm of high octane hockey here at the Glasgow National hockey

centre, the scoreline is Scotland zero, Australia three.

Australia really dominant in this match, even with the advantage of

the extra player, they weren't able to capitalise. We will go back for

live coverage of the second half but they can be no doubt that everyone

in Glasgow, Britain, the world, anyone interested in Essex will know

that Usain Bolt arrived in Glasgow yesterday -- interested in

athletics. I am strangely reminded of Elvis

Presley, touched down on UK soil once. Usain Bolt is here, unless he

falls in love with the girl from Cumbernauld, this may be his only

visit to Scotland so as you can understand, there is a lot of

expectation. Usain Bolt is in the building! Use

smaller than he looks on television! Fear we are, the star of the show is

here. Expect a few quirky questions, does he like haggis, does he like

Scotland? Are you going to run in the heats of the relay? Yes, I will.

Have you ever worn a kilt? Ready is not my colour. We were wondering if

we could get a self-feeding with you. Before I leave. Will you be

able to categorically state you can run later in the week? Yes, I am

here to run. I don't know why I would travel all this way. What have

we learned from that? Bolt is giving all the answers. We know he didn't

want to put on a kilt just here, the mystery is whether he likes haggis

or not, that wasn't answered. One thing is clear, we knew a long time

We thank Andrew for that, the state the games.

We thank Andrew for that, the state not very close to Usain Bolt at all

yesterday. I am joined by Vicki McDonald, you won the mixed

triathlon yesterday. Congratulations first of all, a great win for

England but expected, after the individual triathlons? I think are

going to be really with four individual medals, we were the hot

favourites but with that comes pressure to deliver on the day so it

was nice to take that off. pressure to deliver on the day so it

Those people who watch a lot of sport, athletics and triathlon will

get it, how does the mixed team triathlon differ? It is quite a new

concept, but basically every individual does a mini triathlon, it

starts off with the girls in hand onto a gentleman, then a girl, then

apply on the end. A short swim, 250 metres, then you ride for six

kilometres, as opposed to 40. Then you run for 1.6 kilometres as

opposed to ten. It hands over from girl to guy to girl to guy again.

That's probably the first time that the Brownlee brothers have been

called a gentleman by anyone! You have been involved in this mixed

triathlon, you have won the World Championships, do you prefer it to

individual triathlon? It's a fun event to be part of and it hurts so

much more, we're not used to... We're not used to the amount of pain

we have to put ourselves through with the short stuff, we are trained

realistically with the short stuff, we are trained

distances. I think I preferred the individual. That's what I train for

everyday. To be able to come back to days after Thursday was a great

experience. I Hearts ask for much more. It means more because of what

I put into it personally and the sacrifice and training. Triathlon

came a little late to you? I am not that old but back then, it was a

relatively unknown sport. I was a swimmer from age six and I went to

county and national level with that and with cross country and track

level. At university I was realistically more they track runner

than anything else. It was at university that I was almost

than anything else. It was at into triathlon and I enjoyed being

part of a few training camps. I was a bit sceptical at first

part of a few training camps. I was got involved I realised how hard it

was but equally how great it was to be able to train for all three

sports and take the pressure off from

sports and take the pressure off every day. You have to be... It is

not about being a jack of all trades, you have to be a master of

all trades. That is one of the shifts in triathlon in recent years.

You used to be able to get away with being a jack of all trades and

master of none but not any more. Your weaknesses will be highlighted

and exposed now. We have had tough hilly courses and a hot day, you can

be a weak athlete, you will not get round and you will not get the

result you want. It almost seems like a different country today. We

don't mind, we are finished now! Tell me a little bit about how big a

deal it is to compete for team England in the Commonwealth Games.

How much does that mean to you? I love to be part of that team but it

is quite unusual for us. We are always Team GB wherever we go

normally. This is really the only time we go anywhere as just

England. It has got a bit of a special feel to it because of that.

Personally, I love to be Team GB but being team England once in a while

is nice. If you are listening to this and you can hear the noise in

the background, the helicopters are covering the marathon and it is

quite deafening! They are on BBC1 if you want to watch that. What is next

for you? What are your plans? You can enjoy the rest of the

Commonwealth Games but what is next after that? Relax and recharge

first. This has had a really big build-up. It feels really great to

have not only been able to qualify to come here and put in a good

performance but also to get two medals. I am going to enjoy that for

a little and let it soak in and take a little bit of time out this week.

Next week, I have more races coming and towards the beginning of August

and September. I will take some more proper downtime, a full two weeks

off before we build-up for the next season. Olympic long jump champion

at London 2012 has tweeted his frustration over ignorant athletes

in the athletes village. He said it is great until the ignorant athletes

make more noise than a herd of elephants in a china shop! Are you

responsible for that noise? Absolutely not, I am pleading

innocence! There was of course celebration last night but that was

not me. It is hard when the events of finished but you have to be aware

that other competitors's events are not. I completely take that on

board. If you are preparing for your event and people are disturbing

new... We did not stay at the village before. We were at

Strathclyde park. I can imagine it potentially gets a bit much if you

are in the village for the full duration of the games. Thank you

very much and congratulations Vicky Holland. Let's head back over to the

hockey, it is Scotland against Australia, 3-0 to Australia at

half-time. Here is the second half. COMMENTATOR: Australia will get

things under way. Australia in green and gold heading from left-to-right.

Scotland in their all blue with Wyllie, snatching possession early

on. Ralph. Into the circle, flick on, Kenny is there to tidy up but it

is not completely tidy. Unlucky. Bell did not make contact. Great

play once again. Putting Scotland under pressure. It looks like the

ball ended up coming off the foot of Linda Clement in the circle. Though

had it ended up in the goal it would not have counted. But again,

Scotland getting the ball high up the pitch.

Australia's passing, accurate and decisive in the early stages. That

was a risky one from Flanagan. Bone takes it off the sideline. Reacting

to the situation. Her pass was all right but detract from her team-mate

Georgie Parker, was poor. -- but the track. If the powers had been flat

on the floor, what Georgie Parker tried to do, it probably would have

come off, but she tried to do it with a bouncing ball which is a very

difficult skill to execute. But you still expect them to make it. Yes,

this side, at this level. Blyth tackling Ward. A chance for

Australia to add to this scoreline. It is a penalty corner for

Australia. It was inevitable in the end. Great strength by Emily Smith.

Going for a number of -- going through a number of tackles.

Somebody so, she is very strong and powerful. -- for somebody so small,

she is very strong and powerful. Kenny has twice been successful at

long-range and it is Flanagan's turn this time. Off the crossbar and over

the top. Cleared the safety fence, that one, good effort from Flanagan.

Opting for a different option here. Fantastic flick. She has scored a

lot of goals in the Hague, Anna Flanagan and that was almost inch

perfect. Australia moving forward again. Peris down the right. She is

picked out. Claxton to her left and three in the circle. The ball is

still live. Video referral. Australia are looking for a foot

down here. We will take a look. Australia believe there is a case

for a penalty corner. Lowe it is exactly that bit there,. I think it

is Rebecca Ward. Peris took it all the way to the line and it is off

her shame, it will be a penalty corner by the looks of things.

Australia have played the referral game perfectly so far. Emily Smith

new straightaway, once it had hit the lead, she was asking for the

referral. Australia with another penalty corner opportunity. Will it

be Flanagan or Kenny? Looks like it is Flanagan, goes inside and fix it

to Kenny. First shot along the turf is safe.

Australia with the majority of possession in this second

No arguments from Scotland. Another penalty corner for Australia.

Villa good turnover played here by Australia. Backing Emily Maguire

into a corner. Three from seven so far for Australia. Here is the

injection. It will be taken again. One of their defenders... No. The

injector... Because they are walking in, Kellie White is walking in to

take the injection, she momentarily stopped antibody momentum went

forward again which caused the Scottish defence to break the line.

It has got to be one fluid movement. Wyllie has been sent to the halfway

line, there will be a change of injector here. This time it is

Peris. And Kenny with the shot. Beautiful says. -- save. Gibson has

had another cracking game in the Scotland goal. Flanagan... Blyth I

beg your pardon, fires that one across. Nobody made contact. Much

better defending by Scotland in this half. If Amy Gibson had missed it, I

think half. If Amy Gibson had missed it, I

Scotland definitely will take some confidence from this.

Plenty of chances in the second half for Australia but no goals yet.

Scotland have kept tabs on the scoreline. All of those three goals

coming in the first half. McLellan could not get his stick on

that bouncing ball. -- hers stick. Lloyd back inside to McLellan. She

spreads it to the right-hand side. Promising looking move forward. And,

into the circle. And behind. I don't think Sarah Robertson was expecting

Australian defence to miss the ball. It is not a warm day in Glasgow

today. It is a good day to bring a blanket the Glasgow National Hockey

Centre. I wish I had one myself. Taylor. She goes inside. Three

Scottish players around her. Niccolo Lloyd executing the tackle, she

heads forward now. Scotland unable to push the ball forward. That is

better. Nice work. Good passing. Excellent control. Forcing the

Australians to improvise. Flanagan did beautiful work there. Well

played Flanagan and here she is backing up. Australia look menacing

once again. Out of trouble by Sarah Robertson,

who was close to scoring in the first half.

Look out quickly Australian players are awarded Scottish pack

defending, the Australians are climbing all over them. It is

important, Australians look almost important, Australians look

disinterested when you make the first pass but then all of a sudden,

five or six of them, all at the same time, start to sprint and close you

down. It can be really off-putting when you look up and see six yellow

shirts running at you. One of the Australians got a bash on

the nose, may need attention here. That's Ashley Nelson. Clearly hurts

after that collision. Bunce's shoe came off during an

interception. The umpire doesn't want her to get injured so stops

just to allow her to put that back on. Nelson has a cube of ice just

her nose. The first touch for Bunce wasn't

great, and Kenny is there with speed and power. Drills it down the mine,

not quite good enough but a good pick-up.

Bodies everywhere, sticks everywhere.

The ball was bouncing around, the players... It came off the helmet of

Gibson. Scotland have asked for a team referral, they are not sure

this merits a penalty stroke. The umpire, just explaining that she

wants the video umpire to have a look. A great save by Gibson, she

doesn't know where the ball has gone. I think it's possibly a

penalty corner rather than a stroke. It's a great call by Amy Gibson,

actually. This clearance here... It was pretty

chaotic. From that angle, it looks like it

was going wide. It was more like a rugby match for a while. A penalty

corner as the ball was not going towards the goal. Yes, good call.

The video umpire agrees with you and it will be a penalty corner. So the

original position has been overturned. -- decision. But it

still dangerous, with Flanagan and Kenny.

Great hat-trick by Kenny. That's her second consecutive hat-trick, still

going on this stick side, nice and low, generates a lot of power. It's

almost an awkward height for Amy Gibson, not quite on the floor, so

as she has died, it has bounced over the top of her stick. -- as she has

dived. That's hurts seventh goal and her hat-trick in this match.

Australia took a while to get off the mark in the second half, scored

very quickly at the start of the first period of play. The Scottish

defence has been more rubber in second half, now Australia are

starting to open up an The danger is over for the moment as

gap -- has been more robust. The danger is over for the moment as

far as Scotland are concerned. The danger is over for the moment as

this will be a defeat for Scotland. It's tough to see them getting a

single goal, let alone four or five. It's an impossible task, really, the

host nation here against a side of such quality and discipline.

Picked up in a dangerous position by Bunce. She is upended.

The crowd, starting to turn up the volume levels at times. Might just

be a volume levels at times. Might just

for the supporters volume levels at times. Might just

here. -- That was a little hopeful.

not to see on Australian on the far post, though.

Scotland with the hit. Flanagan with the hit for Australia. Scotland,

with players down in the Australian half, looking for a nudge that might

go their way, a deflection, a mistake from Australia, but they are

few and far between. That was a wasted opportunity for

Scotland. Australia inevitably come off better

from the exchange. Another threatening position for

Australia. Another penalty corner. The chance

for Australia to add to their already impressive tally of four

goals. Great call from the umpire, rightly saying that the foot was on

the line. Maybe just the heel of the foot on

the line. Kenny is not on the corner, so McMahon has gone to join

McManaman. Flanagan. And via a defection, Flanagan

scores! They have just been so clinical on

these corners. The thing that Davis and Gibson in the Scottish defence

could do. -- nothing. Might not go to Flanagan actually, because there

was another Australian with a bit of stick on that. She was claiming it,

but we will wait and see who is credited with that one.

Another penalty corner, and it's starting to turn into telephone

numbers here as far as Australia are concerned.

Again, Gibson doing well to come out to the five yard mark. Scottish

defenders perhaps a little bit out right. -- up right.

It's another one. She claimed the previous goal but she will

definitely get her name alongside this one. It's a carbon copy corner.

It's a brilliant deflection, it's the timing of it that is just

superb. Never wants to she stopped running. She knows the timing, the

pace of the delivery. We feel it's her second of the game out at the

moment she has just been credited with that one.

It's turning into a bit of a troubling for the host nation here.

-- dropping. We mentioned at the start, goal

difference might play a part when the group matches are complete, to

see who gets out of the group, moves to the knockout stages, but Scotland

are yet to make a dent, they could really do with making one or two on

the board towards the tail end of this match but of course, Australia

will not take their foot off the throttle.

situation for Scotland, for McGilveray. Australia pressuring all

the time. No P from the green and gold. -- no let up.

Scotland coming down the right-hand side this time. But only as far as

the halfway line. A little nudge from Claxton, as the power to go

through. Turn and a shot for Australia. Desperate events for

Scotland, can they find a way through? A successful Scottish

defence. Villa brilliant play by Australia. Initially. Gibson quick

off her lying to close down the options available to Kellie White.

For a moment I thought they might have a foray towards the Australia

circle but it was premature. A little bit of passing practice for

Australia now. Pressure off, the match is one. -- won. Australia will

have three victories from three outings so far at the Commonwealth

Games. Australia women's team, three times Commonwealth gold-medallists.

They took the gold in Malaysia in 2008, bronze medal in Manchester and

gold again in Melbourne and in Delhi. The Australia men have won

all four hockey Commonwealth Games goals from Malaysia through to

Delhi. Taylor tangling with a couple of

And it hits a Scottish foot and provides another penalty corner for

Australia. A chance to go 7-0 in front. It is almost a

Australia. A chance to go 7-0 in hit in by Jodie Kenny, she hates it

exceptionally hard. Once again, Scotland have fatigue kicking in

perhaps, staying very upright, not low in defence and the ball crashing

in off the foot. Another penalty corner opportunity for Australia.

Kellie White will inject this time. Flanagan and Kenny are

Kellie White will inject this time. Maybe somebody else will get a

chance here. Let's see what happens, here it is, it looks like

Flanagan's shot on goal and it is a good one. Flanagan finding the roof

of the net for 7-0. It is just brutal execution by Australia.

Again, Flanagan using those long levers to get the ball high into the

net. Perhaps they have done their homework on Amy Gibson, she is an

exceptional goalkeeper, slightly smaller, that seems to be the way

The line is cleared, a breakaway but it was kicked along the way. It is

just relentless by Australia. They have seven on the board and they are

not happy, they want eight, they want nine, and that is their

mentality. It is the way they are brought up to play hockey. It is

great for the neutral but not if you are on the receiving end. No, sadly

for the host nation and the majority of the supporters, Scotland have

been well and truly on the receiving end.

A missed control, a shot on goal, another one for Australia. Peris

making it 8-0. A great double teaming by Australia to steal the

ball on top of the circle. Nicolette Kidd, trying to turn but turns into

trouble. -- Nikki Kidd. Gordon Shepherd, chatting away, not

sure what he has got to say at this stage. Damage limitation is the best

Scotland can hope for now. Too long for Lloyd. Scotland will be

hoping to hear that final whistle, but they have got another five and a

half minutes of play to come. That is a bit strong from Kenny, a

rare mistake from her, too far in front of Edwina Bone.

Kidd with two Australian players around her, quick to take the free

hit. Could Scotland just get themselves a goal? Make the

scoreline look a little more respectable? It does not looked

likely at this stage. McGilveray, inside, a poor pass,

Kidd had to improvise. Fawcett wondering where to go. McGilveray

wanting it but Fawcett goes right. Scotland struggling to escape.

Threatening move once again from Australia, can they get a shot on

goal? Deflected off a Scottish stick but the danger is not over. In

front, kicked away, another shot. And this one finding the back. 9-0.

Jayde Taylor. It is just wave after wave of Australian pressure. One

thing they do very well is hit to the opposite side. J tailor here,

smashes it, she is looking at the far backboard side. If Amy Gibson

gets a touch on it, it will rebound back out and give Australia and

opportunity. They are looking for number ten, Peris. Stick tackle. The

umpire says you can refer if you want. Note-takers. From the Scottish

team to put their hands up for a referral. It will be a penalty

strike. I think it is a fair call. Peris is very quick and she is in on

goal. It looks like she almost lost the ball momentarily. McGilveray

coming across. Taking the stick before the Senate makes the save. --

before Gibson makes the save. Flanagan will take the penalty

stroke for Australia. She has missed it. She tries to go high. It is the

second Australian miss we have seen in two days. Flanagan has hit the

post square on. Off Flanagan's foot. The final

whistle cannot come soon enough for Scotland.

Lloyd trying her best just to juggle the ball through and get close to

the circle but another chance might come here. Down the right-hand side.

And. -- down the right-hand side for Scotland. Needs to be quick.

Scotland forward. Can they get a shot on goal or a penalty corner?

They get nothing. A little bit of time, Maguire. Well

taken. Nudged forward. Lloyd will to, a swing and a miss. -- Lloyd

will turn. The last 90 seconds of the game. The last chance

potentially for Scotland. She is caught in two minds, whether to

track the ball first or play it across first time. When Australia

tried it earlier with Georgie Parker, we saw how difficult is

guilt it was to execute. Two minutes to go and Scotland have had two

opportunities, yes, the game to go and Scotland have had two

gone with the to go and Scotland have had two

least they are still trying to play find a way around the Australian

captain,. find a way around the Australian

minute now. Bowen finding Flanagan who just missed

minute now. Bowen finding Flanagan has had a good game. And. Foxy -- a

they get into double figures? The they get into double figures? The

ball is taken away from the Australian stick nicely and Scotland

escaped. And that will be that. So goals galore here. Sadly, none

for the host nation Scotland. An emphatic 9-0

Very tough for Scotland, beaten 9-0 but it's really hard, Australia have

won three of the four Commonwealth gold medals on offer, they are the

highest ranked side in the competition. That is what success

looks like, that is the key Holland, competition. That is what success

looks like, that is the English triathletes, part of the mixed

looks like, that is the English teams, she is very happy, she has

been on that for ten minutes! But that is success, we would get her to

wave. She's just ignoring us now. You win a gold medal, and then you

just walk away and completely ignore us! We will hopefully get over to

Helen Skelton now. Seven gold medals on offer today, some of the

medallists will hope to add to their tally. Yes, last night was very

exciting. Just for the record, don't ever shout at me when I'm on my

carousel. We had a fantastic night in the swimming pool, it set us up

brilliantly for today. Fran Halsall looked fantastic. She had a great

night last night, the fastest ever woman over that freestyle, winning

that, she looked fantastic in the butterfly, she has got the final

tonight. I think she's just going to swim incredibly tonight, she was

half a second above the rest of the field last night. When we say a

textile suit, it is a swimming term, what happens with swimming

manufacturers is they make faster and faster suits and they became

almost like a rubber material and the world record has tumbled at

every event. It took a while for some of them, her 50 freestyle is

another point, but it that rubber suit would not have counted, that

would have been the best textile suit, it would have been a world

record. There are a lot of bases we might not have known before these

games, the wider public, will see them again in action today. I will

hand Andrew and Adrian, today really is going to be a showdown.

Really looking forward to it particularly the men's 50 metres

breaststroke. I think Fender book will start as

favourite for the 50 today. -- Van Der Berg. Straight into the first

race. No hanging about here. The first heat of two. The Canadian

is the fastest seed. Simmons of England is in five. A beautiful

start from Simmons. Look at this first 50 from Quigley, she is the

leader, to the far right. She goes into the turn first, fantastic first

50 metres. Simmons has good technique, goes a little bit longer.

When the fastest swimmer in the water at the moment looks like

quickly, -- Quigley. She's only 19. Caldwell, looking good, turning

first. Simmonds getting back onto the

shoulder of Caldwell, that's useful. It looks like Quigley is tailing off

a little bit, her best time is just under 2.10.

The first four looking OK to qualify, doesn't really matter where

you place in these heaps, it's about how fast you go. -- these heaps. But

this looks pretty good. Caldwell is working pretty hard down

this last 50. I tell you what, she finished almost on her side, you are

not allowed to go past halfway and turnover onto your stomach, that was

pretty tight. Not a bad start. She did put an effort in the last 25

metres, I felt, very strong. You don't often see a big buy septet to

like that on the female swimmers. -- bicep tattooed.

Underwater, very good, it is faster doing the butterfly kick

underwater, look at that finish! I've got to tell you, that was

close. Quigley is going to have to wait and

see if she gets through, that is going to be tight, a dangerous place

to finish, fourth. Championship silver-medallist, the

fastest seed. That, I think, is named three. --

Lane 3. There are three big Australians in this. Wilson in

three. In name four, Belinda Hocking, the

Commonwealth record holder. Jess Fullalove of England going in Lane

2. The women's 200 Metres backstroke,

decent start in Lane 5, as expected. Australia, having some fantastic

quality in this event. Three of the top four of the world

this year. Jessica Fullalove going well there,

really nice to see her going/for/with Wilson. She is 18

today, actually! Happy birthday! Happy birthday, Jess. And she is

next to three big Aussies, what a lane assignment.

Jess Fullalove was going pretty well but just starting to tail off. She

could still like the final because the first heat wasn't that quick. --

still make the final. As mentioned before, it is top eight

times, if these five women beat 2.13... Quigley will be

disappointed. These three Australian women, doing

exactly as we thought in this first heat, just about enough. All in a

row. It looks like Hocking might be trying to get the touch but doesn't

matter at this point, frankly, they all look fairly comfortable. Look at

that, a It was close in the end. They will

certainly make It was close in the end. They will

them. Quigley, I think may make it in in eighth. That pushes Jess

Fullalove of England out of the final, she was not able to hold onto

the early pace she set. The third 50 was where the damage was. Quigley,

making it through. I think it will be a very different

story tonight. A lot more competitive. An interesting finish

stop could the Canadian stop the Australian 123?

The top four from that second heat going through to the final.

The top four from that second heat thing that would stop the Australian

123 would be Hillary Caldwell. missed out on a medal, fourth and

fifth. Will it spurred on? Is it a good psychological thing? Yes,

Lizzie Simmonds is favoured towards the 200 Metres. Her swim last night

was a bonus event, this is where she really wants to shine in Russia

looked really in control, comfortable in that 200. She is

amazing of the war. Our next event is the men's 50 metres breaststroke.

We have been talking about the 200, then Adam missed out on a middle --

medal last night, he had to come back from a second down at the turn,

how impressed were you? Both back from a second down at the turn,

were blown away. Becky knew something good was going to come,

she is close to Adam, but when you take the world

she is close to Adam, but when you away like this, he is on his

she is close to Adam, but when you here... He just swum it perfectly.

she is close to Adam, but when you Adam wasn't scared about having the

world record-holder, he knew he would go out fast and he said,

world record-holder, he knew he will race my own race. He picked his

tempo up. He wanted that, you was hungry for that success. Neither of

us swim breaststroke, but when you come off the wall there and you see

the other person to metres ahead of you, it is difficult not to rush it,

but he just felt his way back and slowly but surely reeled him in. A

phenomenal morning, I know you were a victim barrister, but there is

nothing wrong with that, that's how much it means to you. It's difficult

for people who don't follow swimming registry to appreciate how much hard

work goes on, he is a good lad and he deserved that. He has got a heart

of gold, the thing I love about him and his coach is they come from a

club programme. We have seen the Performance Center, but it is nice

to see the guys from the clubs. I came from a club. Everyone is aiming

for nationals, Adam has set himself the goal of winning an Olympic medal

in two years and he has stuck to that. They don't train in a 50-metre

facility, they don't have an amazing physio or nutritionist, but water is

water and that's how they treat it. We have seen a huge shift here, with

the UK nations press/, we have taken five out of six medals. That is

phenomenal, we have a history in breaststroke, but that is one of the

things, coming from a small club, without the big names around him, it

makes it even more impressive. This is his first senior international

meet stop --. Our key is the coach? I think the coach is the most

important thing. I wouldn't have got anywhere without Bill, and Adams

said the same about his coach, they are team unit. She will continue to

train him. Presumably you need the right coach. You do not have access

to that many coaches? Definitely not. This coach is the most

decorated Commonwealth medallist, she has six medals. Mel has been

there and done it herself. It is hard for a female coach as well to

step into a very male oriented role. She said, I am here and I think this

is right. She stands her ground. With all of the guys that have

announced themselves, they will get a lot of attention and excitement,

do you now need to keep their feet on the ground? You aim towards a

competition, that is your meat, you do that and enjoy it. You have a

holiday for a couple of weeks and when you come back in again, you

think, what is next. I think the training partners and everybody gets

back together and it is a reality check. You are not champion any

more, get ready for the next stage. Adam is in the next event.

Tully, there, from Scotland. Fully expect him to make it through these

heats to the semifinals. Mark Tully from Scotland.

The black cap of New Zealand going well in the centre. Tally going

well. The crowd trying to raise his game.

I am not sure I have seen an Indian able-bodied swimmer... They

certainly have many in the Paralympics, but he could make it to

do the semifinals as well. Ian black, there is a swimming name.

Youngest winner of BBC sports personality of the year. Good

knowledge! This is almost a repeat of the final

of the breaststroke last night. Which Adam Peaty one. -- won.

There is Adam Peaty. Lynn he knows he has his work cut out. He

hopefully got sums sleep -- some sleep.

They do not have to go all guns blazing in this heat. There is talk

about what Ben does when he gets in the water. Adam, a fantastic swim.

A new British record for Adam Peaty. I said he did not have to go that

fast! LAUGHTER What do you do after you win the

gold medal the night before and beaten the world record-holder? You

do it again! Great start and great reaction. Van der Burgh is good

underwater, all sorts of stuff goes on, but Adam Peaty is very, very

strong. Very interesting leg kick, I wonder if you has adapted it

strong. Very interesting leg kick, I record. The world record-holder is

second, it is only the heats. Good swimming chaps. If that is not

enough, look at this. Ross Murdoch in five. Let's see what he can do in

the 50, bit short for him? He is a good sprinter. They heard his name

being announced and there was a big war.

Very good start up there in lane number two. The Malaysian now

starting to come through, excuse me, that is the South African. Murdoch

coming back. How can you come that is the South African. Murdoch

on a 50 metres breaststroke? But he will hit the wall and win it.

Reasonably fast but nothing like the Adam Peaty second-fastest second

seed. That was a rocket. Adam Peaty second-fastest second

good swim from Murdoch. You can tell when the confidence is high.

It is a lot better from the swimmer in the white.

The battle of the breaststroke continues. More heats coming up

after the news. We've got factory boys and butchers'

apprentices and office clerks Don't stop moving!

If you go back you'll die! Back to Glasgow

after a quick update on Three. Russia should be stripped of the

right to host the 2018 World Cup. Nick Clegg wants it as part

of sanctions following Israel has resumed its attacks

on Gaza. It's after Palestinian militants

fired rockets into Israel. Hamas had rejected an offer to

extend a limited ceasefire. Big problems with baggage at Gatwick

airport this morning. Passengers have been facing long

delays to get their bags, But the England cricket captain says

he's determined to carry on despite calls from Kevin Pietersen

and others to quit. The third test with

India starts today. And there for 42 years but gone

in seconds. Three landmark cooling towers

at Didcot power station They used 180 kilos

of explosives early this morning. More from us later,

right now back to Helen 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, talk about swimmers and say how

lovely they are that we jinx them. We did not jinx at 11 -- Adam Peaty.

lovely they are that we jinx them. We did not jinx at 11 -- I am

shocked at how fast he went this morning. It is only through to the

semifinals tonight, and Adam would not have got to bed until late. He

will not have gone to sleep until about 2am at the earliest am so to

say that he has gone that quick this morning, what else is to come? A

great finish. The other thing is, when you on that way, in the

swimming world, what tends to happen in Championships, you play through

the heats. He is putting the pressure back on Cameron van der

Burgh. He just does not want to lose anything! He wants to be able to say

he would it all. Does there come a point when you have to concentrate

on other distances? World-class swimmers do not do them all. The

everyone is different. Sometimes if you are struggling with injuries,

people come down and it is all dependent on the athlete. He said he

was a lovely boy. Younger man! We have been chatting to him. That was

amazing. A Commonwealth Games record and you did not even look out of

breath. The adrenaline from last night paid

off. I kept my cool. How was last night? Life changed yesterday for

you for ever. There have been good times already. It is amazing. It is

just a dream times already. It is amazing. It is

just a at the moment. I woke up this morning and thought, did that really

happened last night? I can't believe it. Speaking to family and friends

as much, what time did you get to sleep? About three o'clock. I did

not get in from the swimming pool last night till late, I left here at

about 12. I got sleep for a few hours. Hopefully I will get a bit

faster hours. Hopefully I will get a bit

today. 26 points, here I come! Hopefully! Cheers. White had to put

it into context, it is not just a medal

Hopefully! Cheers. White had to put it into context, it he is winning.

Is doing it against the world record-holder. It is exciting,

looking to the world Championships and the Olympics in 2016, it gives

these fresh boys are such confidence, because every time they

step up at a National Championships, they are raising the best in the

world and that is a huge experience for them. Let's talk about Anne

Frank House all. She retained her title last night, and she looked

awesome. Nel? Fran. Let's show a picture of her. She is now achieving

great things. The transition must be difficult, coming out of the pool

and then being the person behind the person. At a lot of the time, you

find with swimmers, they make good coaches, because you know how hard

to push the athletes and how to read them. But it is a never skilled,

being a person that motivates somebody, because you are used to

being motivated by somebody else. Swimmers are good at taking

instruction, but now she is the one giving instruction. She has won the

most Commonwealth medals of any woman, and she can explain that to

somebody. She has felt it and she feels it. And if you are out of

this, people do not appreciate that they have been working together for

years. It does not happen overnight. Fran, her a lot of young coaches

these days. They are new to it, they have the

these days. They are new to it, they passion for the sport and the love

for it. passion for the sport and the love

working with Adam for six years, and that is just going to continue on to

Rio. The relationship grows between them. And they bring in a new

philosophy. When we have coaches around for a number of years, they

have a set way of doing things. They tweak and change it. When you have

people coming fresh out of the pool, it is like the new generation of

kids, they read stuff and they are into more stuff, so they will have a

different slant on how to train people. So it is nice to hear about

the people behind the people, because we always say it is like

Manchester United, Alex Ferguson, but in swimming turns, you only ever

hear about the swimmer. but in swimming turns, you only ever

all the parents. You are coming into this so young, you cannot do that

without your parents driving you to the pool, washing your kit,

without your parents driving you to up the pieces. This kind of game,

there is an opportunity to remind people of that. We love a shot of

the parents. Ross Murdoch's mum last night, brilliant! I love the family

corner we have got going on. They get to hook their family afterwards

and I love that. The family and the whole support system, it is not just

that they are the taxi service or that they are funding it, they are

everything. It means so much as an athlete to look about them. We can

look up now to Andrew Jameson. Here is Emma McKeon, she won the 200

metres freestyle already. The first of the seeded heat of the

winning's 100 metres freestyle. Emma McKeon of Australia is the fastest

seat. Amy Smith is next to the. McKeon of Australia is the fastest

to see pass these Australians. Emma McKeon is the female son of it so

far. Three gold medals and a bronze after three days.

I don't think we can see beyond Emma McKeon.

She is swimming away. She is working very hard. 54.1, it is a good time,

but I have to say, she looked like she was working harder than a 54.1.

She is a very good swimmer. She has it had a look up. It helps when you

have got Australia's fastest three, you just look up and go, good look,

mate! through to the semifinals. That is

Emma McKeon, the 200 metres specialist, she has got clear water

between her feet and the next swimmer. And she did most of the

work on the second 50 metres. Here are the results.

That is the first of the seeded heats. Bronte Campbell has not even

swum in the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow yet.

The slightly slower and younger of the to Campbell sisters, Bronte

Campbell in lane four. She has just seen her team-mate, Emma McKeon set

a reasonable time. It is a chance for her, I think they like to be

next to each other, the Campbell sisters. If I were Bronte Campbell,

I would still be trying to go for a fast one year. Interesting stroke.

Very tight and clean. It does not look like she is working that hard.

Nice and steady, not really working too hard. Vanderpool Wallace is

going with her. Bronte Campbell, 54.4. That is almost 1.5 seconds

slower than her earlier time this week. A walk in the park. It is

interesting, if you have that much talent am a be able to turn the

burners down a little bit for a morning swim, just to save some

women. -- just to save something. Looking at the women leaving the

water, she looked back her sister, who is getting ready for the next

race. Bronte Campbell wins the second

fastest seeded heat in the 100 metres freestyle. Vanderpool Wallace

is second. Bronte Campbell's sister is the

fastest coming into this heat. There she is, the fastest woman in the

world this year on 100 metres freestyle. Yes, but she has to

bounceback. Francesca Halsall has to bounceback this morning. Becky

Turner from Sheffield. She was in the silver winning relay, English

relay, with Francesca Halsall. The final heat of the winning's 100

metres freestyle. Very interesting. Francesca Halsall dived in and

straightaway briefed, the first thing she did. I have never seen

that before. But anyway, Cate Campbell looks like she has gone for

a very fast in this first 100 metres. James Gibson would not be

asking his swimmers to breed on the first stroke. Francesca Halsall

might be saving a bit for the second 50 metres, but she looks like she

needs to shake off a few cobwebs. This is a stroll in the park for

Cate Campbell. This is worrying, if you are from England. She looks very

strong. Look at that, 53.2, not... An excellent stroke, lovely long,

strong and powerful. What can she do when she rewinds it up inside the

last 30 metres? What a fantastic race. Straight into the turn,

rancher scalpel looks like she had to shake something off. A big night

for her last night. We have the semifinals tonight, but Cate

Campbell is the real threat for the gold medal.

Cate Campbell will go into the final fastest, her sister will go into the

semifinals as the fastest qualifier, and she will be right next to her

sister, I think. We will have a look at that in a second. So Cate

Campbell one that finally heat. That is the winning's 100 metres

freestyle, and I am delighted to be joined in the commentary box by Marc

Woods, five-time Paralympian, 12 times Paralympic medallist, four of

them gold. Few better than this young lady, he will be the fastest

tier, Sophie Pascoe of New Zealand. Yes, it will be an interesting race

today. Sophie Pascoe is one of the best swimmers in the world. I fully

expect her to come through and win this heat, and we don't have some of

the English swimmers that we were expecting to be here. We are missing

Claire Cashmore and Harriet league. The Times that they will do in this

race, I would stake my house on it... Well, I will state your

holiday home on it! That they would win a medal today. And they have not

in selected, and we can get into more detail about it later, but the

times they got at trials, around about 1.21, and I think that would

be good enough to win a silver or bronze medal. Their best times would

be challenging for a gold. It is a shame that we have not picked very

many home nation swimmers. A bit disappointing. But we have seen

three Paralympic races so far, three world records already a must

absolutely brilliant swimming. Sophie Pascoe, the fastest seed

here, is not currently the world record-holder, which is held by

Jessica Sloan of Canada, but she's record-holder, which is held by

whether Sophie Pascoe can just record-holder, which is held by

world record. She will not do it in the heat, I am pretty sure of that.

She does not need to and she has not got the competition here today. She

will not get pushed by the other people in this field.

competition. Right in the centre, Sophie Pascoe of New Zealand with

the black cap looking very good already. Typically you talk about

breaststroke already. Typically you talk about

and driven by the legs, but Sophie is a leg amputee but she still

manages to get pretty good drive. The bulk of the power coming from

the arms. She is by far the strongest swimmer in this event

today. You have got to marvel at someone who can do breaststroke that

well with 70% of the driver of the stroke generally coming from the

legs and she is an amputee. She seems to be so symmetrical as well.

Yes I was going to say, very balanced and what she does. Swimming

is about generating force that point you towards the end wall. Looking

very comfortable. I you towards the end wall. Looking

a little bit out from you towards the end wall. Looking

record, 1.16 point nine. Very good swim from Erin Davies, 13 years of

age down at the bottom there for Scotland, she is the youngest

competitor ever bought in Scotland at the Commonwealth Games in any

sport. -- ever, for Scotland. I am delighted to see her do

sport. -- ever, for Scotland. I am morning. She has done

sport. -- ever, for Scotland. I am getting a decent lane for the final.

She is from Shetland, the community they are looked after her so well. I

was talking to they are looked after her so well. I

before, Edward lovely to talk The 13-year-old from Shetland, only

three seconds down. Wonderful to see that, let's hope she does as well

the night in the final. Wonderful to see, and she is 13

years old, the youngest member of the Scottish team, what an

experience she must be having. We have seen from a couple of

swimmers, coming to the village, being part of the team, she would

never have been to an international meet the team, she would never have

been to an international meet before let alone being there with 4000

people around you and doing her best time by four seconds this morning.

When you are younger you get huge improvements, how exciting, she has

got a chance, possibly, not far away from winning it. Apparently she did

not tell a lot of her friends she was coming to the Commonwealth

Games, if you are watching an Shetland you should be very proud of

her. It is time to turn our attention to another exciting young

prospect in the form of Siobhan-Marie O'Connor as she gets

ready for her favourite event, the 200 metre individual medley. Let's

hear more about her. Siobhan-Marie O'Connor, the

youngster from Bath, such a talent and improving all the time. I have

expectations that I have put on myself, I have goals. Last year I

was aiming to make the final at the worlds and it almost didn't happen.

This is kind of the first year I have got a lot of events so it is a

massive challenge but it is nice because the more races that you do

the more opportunities you have got. The 200 metre medley is my favourite

event. It is my best event, the event I love, the one that has been

my main sort of focus each year. Some incredibly fast British girls

and Australian girls. Alicia Coutts is one of my main rivals. She is a

multi-Olympic medallist, very experienced and a very good swimmer.

Hannah Miley is arrival as well. The first time I finished in front of

her it was something that I was shocked with. I have always looked

up to her, she is such a good role model and a very good friend of

mine. She is someone that you can take a lot from, she works so hard

and I have taken a lot of advice from her. You have to work hard and

other people that you looked up to become your rivals and that is

something I am trying to do. This is what I train for everyday. Getting

in the swimming pool in the early hours, the competitions, this year

it is the coming of games. I am laughing because they train very

hard, I went down to meet them, tried to join the training session

and fell off a box. Interestingly she talks about the training

sessions, on the flip side we have got Hannah Miley going in the heat

before Siobhan-Marie O'Connor and she is completely on her own, how

different and experience will baby having? Completely different, I

think you bounce off the rest of your team-mates, the list is endless

from Bath University so she probably knew before she even started that

she would have a good meet because of that, whereas Hannah has to go by

what she is doing and focuses solely on herself will stop Hannah has had

a great meet so far. It means a lot to Hannah but this is not the one

she has been solely training for, I think this is more Siobhan's event.

You have different personalities, I am very sociable, I love having

training partners. As a sprinter you do fast stuff and said around and

chat a lot. When you have got so many of us and we are also

talented. There are different mindsets, everyone has got different

build and make up an different mindset. I take my hat off to Hannah

as she can go and put her head in the water and do her sessions day in

and day out on her own. It is unbelievably hard, what Becky had

was some guys around you, people you could train with and push you.

Quickly, take it away, help me. COMMENTATOR: Hannah Miley starts the

second fastest seat. -- seed. Sophie Allen of England in the third

fastest coming into this games. Hannah Miley, what a brilliant 400

metres medley she did in that first night, the pressure was

unbelievable, you could feel it in this building. Swimming fans, not

just the Scottish, this building. Swimming fans, not

just everyone really cheering for her. Hannah Miley is well within

distance of them. It is good to see Sophie swimming so well, not had the

yellow lane lines, Hannah Miley catching them on the backstroke.

Marni Oldershaw of Canada. Sophie Allen the first to turn at the

halfway in the first of these seats. Hannah Miley, expect her to push the

stroke. It will be interesting to see what

time Hannah Miley posts. Have got to make the final, that is job number

one, no semifinals, no mistakes. Hannah Miley is working this

breaststroke as hard as she can. Trains so many miles in the pool,

she is pushing it, I wonder if she will ease off when she realises she

has broken the field? Sophie Allen struggling to keep the pace on the

breaststroke, she herself is strong the breast stroke, but Hannah Miley

looking to be easing back slightly. Hannah Miley will win the first of

the seeded heats. Looked really comfortable in the end. Second was

Siobhan-Marie O'Connor, this will be interesting, I think she could be

silver medals. We have also got Rachel Williams of

Wales in Lane 2. Siobhan-Marie O'Connor always gets a great start

and that was another. Sirica McMann of Ireland also in the

that is really fast. Siobhan-Marie O'Connor, she was a silver medallist

in the 200 meter freestyle, she is destroying a decent heat here. Eased

off quite a lot. Emily Seebohm second. Not sure that will

off quite a lot. Emily Seebohm quick enough to get through to the

final for the Northern Irish swimmer but still a good effort. Really

strong from the goal, good breaststroke, Emily Seebohm working

hard on the breaststroke, I cannot imagine that she will not be on the

podium tonight, O'Connor. She has a real fighting chance of the gold

medal. with Hannah Miley and Amy Wilmot

again. Confirmation of the second to last heat.

The final heat of the 200 metres medley, Alicia Coutts in lane four.

There is Amy Wilmot. She will be looking for a better swim. She did

well to get the silver medal in the 400 metres. Our expectations are for

the gold medal. Let's see how she performs in the first length. The

final heat of the women's 200 metres individual medley, and the fastest

of the Commonwealth this year is Alicia Coutts of Australia. Amy

Wilmot is closer to us in the black cat. Alicia Coutts should have won

the individual 100 metres in butterfly. She came fourth. She is

using the first length advantage that she has. She went out quickly

in the freestyle relay. She did not really have the stamina. She is very

good on the starts and turns, and when it gets to the breaststroke,

that is when we might see that stamina pay. Just catching up a

little bit on Alicia Coutts. Her head is moving from side to side

quite a lot, and Amy Wilmot is really working that backstroke leg

very hard. Pickering of Canada is in third

place. Amy Wilmot is starting to push this breaststroke, but the

defending champion of this 200 metres medley, the Olympic

silver-medallist, Alicia Coutts. She is looking better. Amy Wilmot is

working a bit harder. You can see the stroke rate. She's probably

doing five or six more strokes on this length than Alicia Coutts would

have done. Very nice, straight in, has a look, Amy Wilmot has caught up

a bit, but still just under one second behind.

I was wondering what tactics Alicia Coutts would take. Do you really

blasted it just to prove that you can, or do you take it relatively

easily? She seems to have worked very hard to 150 metres and is

clearly easing off now. Amy Wilmot is coming back for England. These

two will qualify fairly comfortably. Alicia Coutts WinZip. She will go

into the final as the second fastest. Siobhan-Marie O'Connor will

go in fastest. That will be a great final tonight. Amy Wilmot second.

The first five swimmers are all within half a second of each other.

She did a good race there. I was pleased that she was able to step

up. She got the pacing wrong, a really terrible seconds in -- second

hundred metres. She knows she is winning, and this freestyle was

definitely easing off, looking as she was touching to men sure she got

the touch. You don't do that if you are

finishing in a medal race. Was that a nervous look, was that just to

check and see? I think it was to check and see? I think it was today

checking in look. It is going to be an exciting final.

Normally our swimmers are out of breath when they finish, but I

suspect Siobhan-Marie O'Connor might not be in that state.

A really comfortable morning swim. Are you putting your cards out

there? Definitely. I had a good heat swim. That was one of the quickest

times I have done this morning. It is always had coming back and doing

it in the morning after a late finish last night, but you have to

try and rest of bit now. When you came into this, you probably thought

that Alicia Coutts would be your biggest rival, but maybe Hannah

that Alicia Coutts would be your Miley now? Definitely, Hannah is

amazing at the moment. She's a great competitor and she is going to give

it everything tonight. It will be a good race, and we will just see what

happens. You have a good collection of silver and bronze medals, but you

would like a gold one! Obviously, yes. That would be great. I was

ranked second coming in and there were so many quick girls in there.

We will see what happens. I would not bet against you! Good luck.

I love should -- Siobhan-Marie O'Connor's attitude. She does not

seem to be affected by it at all. She sticks to her own race plan. It

is only a matter of time before the 1 cent gets that tattooed!

You have had a couple of days to chill and put in a personal best

time in the 400 metres. This morning I felt quite good and it is just

about getting in and getting another swim out of the way. I am quite

happy with the swim and the time. Fingers crossed, tonight I can get

within the medals. Fingers crossed, tonight I can get

have that strength in the last 50 metres to chase people down. It is a

bit comforting knowing that I am stronger than some of the girls in

no. I know I have to be there or thereabouts in the first 100 metres

and I have got every chance of fighting my way down the second 100

metres. I imagine it will be really quick and I will need a personal

best to get in there with the medals.

best to get in there with the Aimee Wilmott did seem a bit flat

there. She has to think positive and get the job done. Income of one

place and if you do not think it went to plan, the bottom line is

that Hannah Miley is one exceptionally well, Aimee Wilmott is

one exceptionally well, it is on good form. We all have our own

expectations and our own demons, and when things are not

nations, swimming much slower than other people, they are coming in and

competing against a world-class field. It is not really the friendly

competing against a world-class games, is it? There are a lot of

file of man swimmers -- there are a lot of swimmers from the Isle of

Man. It is quite an intimidating place.

It is great experience. They get to come out here and race with 4000

people all cheering for you, getting involved with some of the best

people in the world, they get to race them, and you do not often find

that they will get that experience again, especially on home turf.

Talking about the best in the world, we had chapel aglow -- Chad le Clos

in action last night. He did not look like he was even trying! It was

an exceptional swim. He did not anticipate beating Michael Phelps

when he did. But coming in here, he does not need to be at full tilt to

win the races. Let's just celebrate that! And proud was awesome. Chad le

Clos seems to be playing a game for swimmers, it is quite a bit thing

not to shave down. That might have affected him. He seems to be

enjoying it all, and rightly so. Yes, and we can enjoy Chad le Clos

in a few minutes. But now we turn our attention to the third heat of

the men's 100 metres butterfly. The first of the C. Diff leads -- of

the seeded heats. What was your best time for

butterfly? It was 100 and years ago, 53 point three. Not for offer.

The first of the seeded heats of the 100 metres butterfly.

A funny straight in the centre in that yellow hat. As expected,

Dunford is the swimmer going out fast. He has been around for a

while, the world Championships in 2005. The question is whether he can

hold on. Great sprinter technician, fantastic swim to win this one.

D'Orsogna is second. Dunford went out for it, and on the 50 metres

butterfly, he was OK, but I think he was ninth in the end. Even though

there are ten lanes here, they do not use Laney zero and lane nine.

Good underwater. A bit of movement with the head. It is faster doing

that underwater kick in butterfly with a tight streamline and it is

above the water. 53.27, winning that first seeded heat. You would be

ranked second at the moment! Impressive. Looking at the

breaststroke, my best time was way off the pace. Same generation, we

are, we are still both old. That was about 26 years ago, I was about

three seconds off, but you are less than half a second off. The second

to last it, Christopher Wright of Australia, with Tom Laxton in lane

five. What a wonderful opportunity to make

this semifinal. But really, Christopher Wright, with a lifetime

best of 52.1, I imagine we will see our first 52 second butterfly here.

The first of this, if you go 15.1 metres, you are disqualified

underwater, so not a good idea, but Adam Barrett has gone off like a

shot. Tom Laxton and Barrett are both James Gibson's swimmers.

They are heading the field at 50 metres. Great to see how this all

there in the top three as well. -- Halsall.

A good opportunity to get in there. Christopher Wright is coming back

for Australia. Barrett swam well there. We have seen our first 52

second 100 metres butterfly. Adam Barrett is in second place with

53.1. And Tom Laxton of Wales, 53.4, in third place. They will certainly

make it through to the semifinals. Most reaction to the gun from the

man in Lane 7. -- nice reaction. Most reaction to the gun from the

That is beautiful underwater, look at that. Chris Wright finishing

well. The final 25 very strong. Grant Halsall with a great chance of

making it as well in fifth. The final heat of the men's 100 metres

butterfly and the Olympic champion Chad Le Clos. Will be interesting to

see James Guy to 100 metres butterfly, and excellent

freestyler. From Lane 7. Very versatile. There is Chad le Clos. I

am looking forward to seeing how James Guy gets on. Really good swim

at the British trials. The world champion on the 100 and

200 metres butterfly, very good start right in the centre from Chad

Le Clos. I would like him to stop looking around, but bizarrely he is

the only guy I have seen that when he does look around and see someone,

he just looked to his right, and then he goes faster. Fantastic fly.

Looks to the left, checking out where his competitors are. You will

have a couple more before he finishes. Quite

morning stroll. Every single stroke. He is just saying hello. It is

incredible. It is a bit like you same bolt -- you same bolt -- Usain

Bolt. Look

Very disciplined in the water. That was probably the most disciplined

part of his race. The start and the turn were strong there. Gets his

goggles around his neck. He is the world champion, you can do what you

like when you are the world champion. James Guy did well. He

will be into the semifinals this evening. Confirmation there. Three

Australians there. Adam Barrett has done well to get there. We could get

quite a few home nations in the final. Grant Halsall, he has got a

good chance of making the final as well.

Chad le Clos, swimming 's answer to Usain Bolt, but some people don't

like it because Usain Bolt is a bit cocky. Yes, but Chad is not like

that. Every sport needs a character. cocky. Yes, but Chad is not like

yesterday, and you have sort of had that tag put on you? How do you feel

about his comeback? I think it is great for the sport that he is

coming back. I hope I can race him again. We will see. All he needs now

is a hand move, you said that Ross Murdoch needed one. Yes we tried to

come up with one but we couldn't. Ross Murdoch will be joining us in

about ten, 15 minutes time. If you want to hear from him, no one has

spoke to him yet, I will be quick because Becky says he needs to get

back. Women's 100 meter breast rock, a lot of home nations interest --

breaststroke. Corrie Scott got a bronze medal in the 50 metres.

Sophie Allen has just swum the 200 meter medley, she is coming back to

do the 100 meter breast talk and you have got Sophie Taylor who has had a

bit hit and miss meat. I am interested to see where her training

has been targeting and if this is her event. We talk about getting

experience, a part of that has to be psychological experience, becoming

battle Hardy. Yes, it is how you turn things around when they are not

going well, we all have good days, bad days and in different days.

carts so it is about how you come back from that. -- hurts. I saw it

with Alicia Coutts before, she has not looked good but then all of a

sudden she did look good. One day can make a huge difference. You want

to say to the youngsters that you can bounce back, Liam Tancock is a

great example of that. A lot of people getting in touch on Twitter

asking about the fourth lane, why is that the most prized? I like being

in the middle because you can see everyone. If you are in Lane 1 you

cannot see what is going on, in the middle you can look both ways. I

think Chad would hate being on the outside because he looks around so

much. The reason it is the way it is is that what they like for

television is an arrow formation, the fastest lane in four, the

fastest ones in the middle so it should be like this when you come to

watch the race. If you are the fastest qualifier you get to sit in

the middle and you can dictate the race and that more. It is your price

from going fast. Essentially it does not matter. The other thing people

are asking about is the use of the word snatch for sprinters. Explain

what you mean. When people are diving in, they try too hard and

slept the water -- slip the water. In the water it is if you don't

catch it properly. In the 50 metres if you start the first couple of

strokes relaxed and the adrenaline is pumping and you will be going

help level, but if you are blacks and then pick it up, catch the

water. People have been making a lot of the marginal gains in cycling,

but in swimming that is applicable as well. You said yesterday you

would have been quicker, does facial here make a difference? Shaving

down, you can see stubble on the face of Chad, it does make a bit of

difference, not much, but it is more psychological, it is about feeling

smooth in the water. I think especially with male lead here. --

lead here -- leg hair. It is amazing to think that something so little

can make such a little difference, that is why I always laugh when

people say psychological factors do not matter, because they do. Over to

the third heat. Sally Hunter foster the 29-year-old

Australian. We are seeing the men getting older and still going

through, not so much on the women's side.

This the first of the CD heats. You have got the silver medallist from

the 200 metres, Sally Hunter, against the gold medallist from the

50th. -- 50. Katie Armitage of Scotland getting the cheer from the

crowd. Sally Hunter picking up now, the

yellow cap in the middle of the two but a great swim from Katie

Armitage, that is her on the underwater shot. We have not seen

too much of this at the Commonwealth Games but this is eight

not too surprising that Sally Hunter wins the heat but Katie Armitage

on the 50, the 200 was not bad, so I think 100 could be a good distance

for her. We have got the two English girls in

lane five and lane six. A real home country presence in this particular

heat. Ali ActiveSync, great off the block, great first 25 metres. She

will take Johnson along with her. Atkinson really is powerful, going

well. Atkinson first, Johnston second, so Rita McMahon for Northern

Ireland doing well as well. If you look to the far left of the shot,

her pace of stroke rate is so much slower than Atkinson's. You cannot

went for it. McMahon, second. A fantastic last 20 metres. She picked

up the stroke rate. I would love to see her and her coach look at that

video before their semifinals and really think about stroke rate,

because she has just given too much away on that first 50 metres.

because she has just given too much three seeded heats for Jamaica.

The final heat of the women's 100 metres best stroke, with Sophie

Taylor right in the centre. She did not have a great 200 metres. She

needs to blow away the 200 metres, get rid of the cobwebs, and getting

a decent one. Tactically? She had a good 50 metres. She was disappointed

with the 200 metres and she will need to go back to the memory of the

50 metres. Look at that, with the hat almost over the goggles there.

We saw this before. She wears a hat really low. Sophie

Taylor there, from Leeds, she has been training in London.

The final heat of the women's 100 metres breaststroke. Sophie Taylor

of England is right in the middle, the new British record holder, but

Corrie Scott is in six. A really big shot, just do your best, have a

fight. A really tough Scottish woman. A bronze medal in the 50

metres. It was Taylor in the fourth place, and Corrie Scott got the

bronze. Taylor is a lot better here, a lot better than the 200 metres,

back to the form she's showed in the 50 metres. Van Beilen of Canada is

doing well. She has an excellent Aryan coach, excellent pedigree. --

excellent print Aryan coach. Taylor is going well in a black cat

of England in the centre there. Corrie Scott is tying up a bit

inside this last 10m. Sophie Taylor wins it. A good swim from her.

Van Beilen of Canada is in third place. Smith of Canada is in fourth

place, and Corrie Scott is in fifth place. They will certainly all get

through to the semifinals. This is a lot better from Taylor, fantastic to

see her confidence, to come back again from that 200 metres. She has

been spending time in Plymouth with John Road, and then she's going to

London after the Commonwealth Games, with a programme that has been set

up in the Olympic pool. She will be joining with Lisa Bates, the coach.

But a lot more assured on that 100 metres.

That is significantly better for Sophie Taylor. She just does not

seem to like the 200 metres, so I wonder if it is a good idea for her

to get over that. It is useful for the 100 metres to have a crack at
