BBC Three: Day 4: 19:00-22:00 Commonwealth Games

slices across the posts but it doesn't matter. -- the conversion.

New Zealand, perhaps, unbeatable? We can say it for the umpteenth time,

New Zealand have still not lost a match in the Commonwealth Games

ever. DJ Forbes absolutely instrumental as we said he would be.

There is something impenetrable about them. It was not flash but it

did not need to be. They did what they needed to do. The contact, the

last two days, it has been in contact when New Zealand have been

the best team in competition. This is wanting that we have got that

highlighted exactly how good they are in contact. Australia get out

here. They try and take on Pat Lam. Bang, turnover ball. From that, New

Zealand went away and scored the turnover try. They know that when

they have to create an offside line, there is somebody there who will try

a half a break, uncertain of what they are going to do, there is no

support. New Zealand will come in and clear them out. There is a clear

structure to the way that they play. When they make the tackle, they know

that they are creating an offside line for the opposition to have to

go back. Is it churlish to say that they do not have much flair but they

are the ruthlessly efficient. I think that is a competent. They

haven't got the players that they had in the past like Jonah Lomu but

they have seven guys that work incredibly hard for each other and

they make good decisions and stay in contact with their support running.

They have players on a one-to-one who can beat people. Webber, Kaka,

brilliant. How do you feel your team is playing at the moment? The

Aussies are a pretty good side to get one over on them we are pretty

pleased. Obviously, our first game this morning was pretty tough. We

are pleased to get through to another final. How tired are you by

this stage of a competition? The body is pretty sore. At this stage

it is more mental than physical. We just need to get ourselves up. It is

a world record crowd for sevens over two days, 200,000 people. As it felt

special to you? Yes, this is by far the loudest crowd we have ever

played in front of. The stadium, the people, and awesome crowd to play in

front of and it is really helping the boys. Samoa or South Africa?

Don't you care? We just need to focus on our recovery and gain

control and make sure it is a good final. The one thing that he

mentioned was it is not physical, it is mental. Mental toughness is what

they are always good at. They don't want to be the first New Zealanders

to lose a game at the Commonwealth Games. We have just been talking

saying that you do not want to be the first New Zealander to lose a

sevens match in the Commonwealth Games. Is that driving you an? Every

time we play Australia it is a trans-Tasman rivalry. We always get

up for it. We had a great performance. Are you going to watch

this dispassionately? Who would you rather play in the final? I don't

think it really matters. They are both huge teams, physical, really

fast. Whoever wins, we are going to have to step it up a little. Here we

go, South Africa against Samoa. Real speed from South Africa, real

physicality from the men in blue. For the right to play New Zealand in

the final of the Commonwealth Games sevens. COMMENTATOR: Asifaamatala

with the headband. He is supported by Afa Aiono. Kyle Brown making the

tackle on Afa Aiono. He got injured in Hong Kong with a concussive

injury. Missed out on the final tournament of the IRB world sevens

series at Twickenham but he returns to captain the squad in the

Commonwealth Games and certainly a big influence. Branco du Preez with

the tackle. Plenty of space down the near side. Lio Lolo up to the 22,

super tackle by the sweeper Cecil Afrika. Afa Aiono. Tries to play

football. Tupou will have the throw. Cecil Afrika has scored over 100

tries, a brilliant player. Lolo Lui on the outside. Samoa breaking

through. Samoa Toloa, his eighth try of the weekend. The South African

defence has been splintered. Splintered? More like ripped apart.

Gaping holes through the midfield. Just a lack of urgency. The whole

South African approach to the defensive line. We just see here, we

know about the speed of Toloa, he picked a nice line. South Africa

caught by the short side again. That is a great run and a great try. A

perfect start for Samoa. Tupou with the restart. Doesn't find the ten

metres and ad vantage is played because Karl Brown has picked up the

ball for South Africa. Seabelo Senatla to Cornal Hendricks. A bit

of a hike tackle from Samoa Toloa. He is not back ten there surely. The

referee is going to blow his whistle surely. Very physical at the

breakdown, the Samoans. This tie is in the balance in terms of the

physicality of Samoa alongside the speed and precision of South Africa.

However sallow will be matched by South Africa in the physicality

stakes. -- Samoa will be. A lot of movement. Usually in the hands of

Cecil Afrika, will they pick the right option? Francis Horne takes it

in. A wonderful try from Cornal Hendricks. That was beautifully

crafted. Absolute precision from the training field to the playing field

here. As a defensive line, you have to keep chasing from the inside. It

might have been a line ball. From the wide channel, look at that for

players within five metres of South Africa. They have worked hard enough

of the ball. Supporting the player of the ball. Unfortunately, you need

to three players on the inside of the ball here because they are going

to come at you nonstop. All square between Samoa and South Africa. As

we see, the ball into the hands of Cecil Afrika. Inside, a big coal has

already opened up. Getting across way too easy. That is training

ground stuff. A high kick off taken by Samoa. Leave the half-backs

alone. A big tap and go by Tupou. The pass on the outside, there is a

flag out here but we are playing on. Toloa. Up to the halfway line.

Reupena Levasa looking to spring. Did you see that incident? I only

saw the reaction. Talk of a kick on the referee's Mike. I didn't see

exactly what happened really concise. Number two. Walk away,

please. There was a bit of holding on the player. As he walked away, he

lashed out with the boot. Did he pick him? Make contact with his

boot? A kick to the body is a kick. Sounds like a red card. Is that

accurate? Blue number two, yellow card. Unnecessary use of the boot on

a player. A fat Iona is sent to the bench. -- Afa Aiono. Power play for

South Africa. They have got seven players. It was a knock-on from a

Samoan hand. They went for the same setup on the set play again. Opting

for a different option. Switching back around the blindside. Getting

away from the summer when defenders, thankfully, from a Samoan

viewpoint. They are hanging on now because I do not know how you defend

these three threats in the ground. On the right of your picture, you

can see Branco du Preez feeding the scrum. Cornal Hendricks on the

outside. As he got the pace to go wide? Samoa Toloa with an excellent

tackle. Playing the ball on the ground. Cecil Afrika has a go. This

is Christopher Dry. Into the contact. Cornal Hendricks is going

to have to play scrum-half. Samoa kick the ball. Oh dear, it is going

to be yellow. Kicking the ball out of the ruck. Cornal Hendricks did

very well. I thought he should have moved the ball. It means that South

Africa are up to a lead here. That was the first play of the first half

with a convergent to come. It is a well deserved lead, whether or not

with a convergent to come. It is a well deserved lead, whether or it is

well taken, five against seven on this situation. They couldn't stop

him. Disastrous final two minutes of the half for Samoa. Two yellow cards

in succession. Branco du Preez with the additional two point. Still it

is only one try and they are right in this. In 15 aside if you lose a

player for ten minutes, you can cope, but not in seven aside. For

one minute there will only be five on the pitch, which is incredible.

But I think O'Brien makes some wrong calls. The referee had to see it as

he called it. They said foul play, and he didn't see. You won't be

aware of this at home but there is something called the case camera in

the stadium. -- kiss camera. I think we have missed the moment of truth!

A little snob. As the players resume for the second half, Samoa, I don't

know how long they will be down to 54, but what do you do? -- how long

they will be down to five for. You do everything because you cannot

defend five against seven, especially against an attacking side

like South Africa. The next few minutes will be crucial for Samoa.

Still in it, that is the thing. This will go very quickly. As we said

yesterday, these matches can turn in the blink of an eye. And there is

only one score in it. The winner of this plays New Zealand in the final.

Stretching the Samoan defence. Christopher Dry runs towards the

posts. We have seen some scintillating tries here and that

has been one of the best today. The pass from Cecil Afrika. That is

absolute power. The vision, pass from Cecil Afrika. That is

strength. He has taken out four players were on the Samoan defence.

He keeps on working. Into the hands of Christopher Dry on the outside.

Powerful running, power rugby, quality rugby. This South African

team, when they turn it on, they are very hard to stop. On Carnes

Faalemiga Selesele. -- on comes. It looks like the two best teams from

the World Series will be meeting in the Commonwealth Games final in

Glasgow. In the history of the World Series, Samoa have scored 367 tries

and South Africa 523. But Samoa were still have five

minutes on the clock and that is plenty of time in a game of sevens

to turn this around. Look how quick Kyle Brown got up.

Great from South Africa. Look at the support on the inside. Stand up if

you are watching at home! This is great play. Cecil Afrika! It is just

the innate understanding that they have on this team. This is

absolutely brilliant, textbook rugby. Two guys clean out. He uses

therefore is to get the ball back on their side. Then it is about

support. The players working for each other. Cecil Afrika with the

big slam down. Definitely in the goal area and another seven points

for South Africa. When you think Samoa are threatening to get back in

the game, what do great teams do? Put you under pressure and South

Africa have done that superbly tonight. What a display so far. When

a cook comes in off the bench, he made his debut in 2013. -- Kok. He

has always done something special on the pitch when he comes off the

bench. What did I say? There is always

something that happens when Kok gets his hands on the ball. Very good.

First touch, one try, thanks for coming! First with a left foot and

then the right. That is why we call it rugby football.

Totally dominant second-half performance by the South African

side here. The two Samoan yellow cards, even if they had had a full

complement, the way that South Africa are controlling this ball, it

has got to be admired. That is the keyword. This game is all about

control, controlling the ball and possession. It is so easy with the

ball in hand. I have not mentioned the Samoan

coach. We have seen a change in the way Samoa have played this

tournament, maybe building bridges. There he is.

We still have 30 seconds left on the clock and Samoa are giving it

everything. He ran into a blind alley then, Seabelo Senatla. Bundled

into touch. Samoa going for the attack to finish the game with a

flourish. Turnover ball. Warm applause echoes

around Ibrox. That is Warren Whiteley. That wry smile on the left

of your picture. The youngster has come into this squad from the Bolden

Lions. He played in 2011. No risks need to be taken by South Africa.

Take the ball and kick it out. Easy on the late tackles! We are

finishing the game. rugby year. They will go towards the

gold Samoa will play Australia in the

bronze match. Confirmation that South Africa in control, winning by

35 points to seven. Goodness me, that was much more

emphatic than we might have thought. South Africa were awesome. That is

the most complete performance we have seen in the whole tournament.

They go into the final against New Zealand, who have never lost any

game. But I think South Africa might be the best team. It is very

difficult against the New Zealand side. They have tremendous

individuals and that pace. South Africa are very sharp and they do

something out of nothing. The structured physicality of the New

Zealanders, they will plan it. The Titans will know which way to beat

this South African side. It will be a fascinating final. A battle

between flair and efficiency, and the flair comes from South Africa

and not New Zealand. Very unusual. That has won so many tournaments

over so many years. They have the tactical magician with Gordon to get

them through it. We have the best two teams in the Commonwealth Games

rugby sevens contesting the final and that is a good thing. We have

four matches left. The junior finals will between Trinidad and Tobago and

the Cook Islands. Then Wales will play England and we will show you

that match at 8:38pm. play England and we will show you

bronze level match with Samoa. There is a bronze medal that is at stake

and you want that on your is a bronze medal that is at stake

mantelpiece. That was a bit of a thumping that Samoa got and you

wonder how they will take it? They will have less time to recover than

Australia so that will have an influence. I just think the final

could be a fantastic game of rugby. They play in the World Series, but

on this occasion there is a Commonwealth gold medal at stake.

And that had something special to it. It will be a fantastic final

with two great sides. If the camera can look at the touchline, you can

see the South Africans having a long and serious gathering. This is a big

moment for them. What is the time difference? A couple of hours

ahead. The final will be after midnight in South Africa but there

will be a huge television audience for that. I should mention that

Glasgow high school playing Dundee high school in the hiatus between

the finals. At one of these two is a former pupil from Dundee. I don't

know which! They had a fantastic end to the season and they played in the

tournament really well. There are rewards was to play in front of

45,000 at Ibrox and that is great for both sides. Lovely idea. Let's

have a chat with Cecil Afrika. Great name first of all, but fantastic

rugby player, too. Inspiration for this South African team, driving

them into the final of the Commonwealth Games sevens against

New Zealand. Lovely to meet you. How do you feel you are playing at the

moment? Lovely to meet you. South Africa against New Zealand is always

special. It has mostly been them but sometimes you, where do you think

the balance of power is tonight? It is a lovely and unique game. We are

going to go out there and do our best. A gold medal is at stake. We

are looking forward to it massively. Thank you. South Africa for you in

the final? I am going to go to South Africa. I am going to stick with New

Zealand. We were hoping it would build up to that if we couldn't have

a home nation in the final. Don't miss it later tonight. Thank you

very much. It has been wonderful entertainment at Ibrox. The gold

medal match will be on BBC1 at 9:30pm. A warm welcome to BBC

Three's coverage of the Commonwealth Games. Thanks to Lee McKenzie for

the last few hours. So much to come between now and ten o'clock. Plenty

more of the fast-paced rugby sevens as we bring you the plate final and

the bronze medal match. The squash has reached the semifinal stage. We

will bring you the best of the action as Laura Massaro takes on

Jane Walters. The home nations are once again in the ring. Rhys

McFadden and Charlie Edwards. We will speak to Zoe Smith about her

gold medal in the weightlifting and that celebration. Here we are, based

on the banks of the River Clyde in Glasgow, as we are well and truly

into the evening session of day four of Glasgow 2014. These are the

friendly games, they are also the interactive games where you can

watch any sport. There are 14 live streams available for you. These are

the pick of them. All of the best swimming will be on BBC1 including

Fran Halsall and Liam Tancock going for gold. It is semifinal time in

the squash. We will be bringing you that shortly but it is in full

online. England V India right now on the red button. The semifinals of

the mixed team badminton. Also on the red button it is England V India

in the men's team semifinals of the table tennis. If you have been glued

to any of the sports on view here at the Commonwealth Games, you might

want to take part. All the information is on the website.

Talking of inspiration, you do not have to look much further than

20-year-old weightlifter from England Zoe Smith. Four years ago

she bagged a bronze in Delhi. Since then she has carried the weight of

expectation out of the gym. When she closed in on gold last night, it was

great to see that she did disappoint. -- didn't disappoint.

COMMENTATOR: Zoe Smith for England. A very speedy lift. She dominated

it. Three kilograms entry up to 92. Didn't hold it for very long but she

did get it. 92 kilos! What she needs is a good lift here. This will do

nicely. Almost. That is OK, she has a very strong clean and jerk. She is

a great text. She is a great tweeter. She's probably tweeting to

her fans right now and it is what gets her in the zone. Zoe Smith on

112 kilos. This is to go straight into the lead. Zoe Smith right now

is really in the drivers seat. She is putting the pressure on all of

the other lifters. She is throwing that bar over her head no problem.

This is where she loves to be. Zoe, right now going for a record.

Certain that she has got the gold medal. This for the icing on the

cake. Yes! What a great way to finish the day! Zoe Smith is

champion of the Commonwealth. Great scenes. As you can see, Zoe Smith

joins me now. How do you reflect on that? It is the first time I have

watched more than three seconds of my competition. Great feeling. I was

obviously very happy as you can tell by the jumping and face. Watching it

back is for me. Amazing on so many levels. You just lifted 18 stone and

then you left yourself through the last couple of seconds with the

weight above you. You clearly knew that it was yours at that moment. I

have done 118 kilos in training before and in competition I knew I

could do it. It was just making sure I got a safe lift in to break the

record and get the gold. When I held it above my head and I was still in

there, I thought I have got it, I couldn't put it down, I was so

relieved. You started in gymnastics. Hence the backflip. Gymnasts would

probably have something to say about it. Yes, I used to be about I used

to be a pretty bad gymnast. A failed gymnast as I like to say. I was

training at a gymnastic club in south east London, Kent kind of way.

The way they got me into the weights was because they said I wouldn't get

in with gymnastics but I might with weightlifting. It was a throwaway

line at the time but it has come true. I have got a Commonwealth

Games gold medal, what more could I want? Have you peaked at 20? I

really hope I haven't. I want to go on and do a lot more in my career.

Next to the Gold Coast and I hope to be in my peak at Tokyo in 2020,

strength wise. It is all to go really. What was going through your

mind when you were on the podium with the flags being raised and

everybody cheering you on? It took me back to school days. They were

playing Jerusalem and I was humming under my breath and it took me back

to being back at grammar school, where I was not so long ago sitting

in assembly having to sing Jerusalem. It made me a little bit

emotional, reminding me of the whole journey I have been through. It was

just really emotional. You started at 16 in the Delhi Commonwealth

Games. What made you start in weightlifting to begin with? Like I

said, I was a failed gymnast and they used this line to get me into

the gym to have a go at weightlifting. They needed someone

for the London youth games. As a girl. You needed to have two boys

and one girl. I was always very powerful and good at tumbling. But I

never had the grace and flexibility to be a good gymnast. I thought I

would give it a go. It could play to my strengths. My mother used to be

very involved in martial arts. She likes strength sports and stuff. I

thought I might be good at it and gave it a go and really enjoyed it.

You are a laid-back character. You have a nickname from your trainer.

It is becoming my middle name. After Pablo Lara. He was a Cuban

weightlifter. My coach said he had seen a video of him in a hammock

between sets and getting up and doing a phenomenal lift and then

going back for a snooze. It is the approach I like to take in training.

What are you going to be doing now? I am going to carry on supporting my

team. Every girl in my room has finished today. We are just going to

hit up the food hall. It is 24 hours for free food. We are just going to

leave here three stone heavier than when we came. Other than that, I am

going to try to see as many sports as I can. I really want to get down

to the athletics. If anyone has a spare ticket, let me know.

Everybody, a round of applause. We have got a gold medallist in our

midst. Let's bring you some squash action now here on BBC Three. The

first women's semifinal took place today. It was between the top seed

Nicol David and Joelle King of New Zealand. It was Nicol who reached

another world final. We can bring you now the second semifinal which

was an all English affair between Alison Walter and Laura Massaro who

is the current world champion. If you were to describe squash to

somebody who doesn't really know the sport, how would you describe it?

Chess at 1 million miles an hour. It is fast, furious and hard work.

Endurance, technical work. The reason I love to play squash is that

it has so many different aspects to the game. That is the aspect of my

sport but I love to play. This is your second Commonwealth Games. Just

describe your experience? I was planning for what I was at the time,

I was eighth in the world. I went on to win silver with my doubles

partner Jenny Dunn calf. We will be playing together this time around.

We will be trying to do a lot better in both events. You have really gone

from strength to strength in the last year or so. It has been a

phenomenal year for me. Four years ago in Delhi, if you would have said

I'd be going in as world champion and world number two, and number two

seed for the individual event, I probably wouldn't have believed you.

It has been an amazing year. I never thought I would have won the title

is that I have. I want to take it in my stride as much as I can and keep

improving all the time. In Delhi, you were 26. Now you are 30. How

come you are a better player now? I have no idea. Part of me thought it

was never going to happen. My career was always a success but I wanted to

hit the pinnacle and try to become world number one. To win a world

open, to hit those targets is amazing. You didn't experience

London 2012 like a lot of your team-mates. Is this London for you?

It is definitely our Olympics. In terms of medals and everything you

can achieve. Squash is very strong as a Commonwealth is to. A lot of

players in the world are going to be at the games in Glasgow. That is

going to be something extra special. You are doing something on a world

level, not just a Commonwealth level. It makes it harder to win but

it makes it more prestigious. So to the all English battle. Laura

Massaro against Alison Walters. They are reaching the conclusion of the

second game. COMMENTATOR: Here it comes. She has got the stroke. She

is not impressed. 11-11. She can choose where she is going to serve.

I think she thought the score was wrong and that she was in the lead

having got the stroke. I think that was the confusion. She just saved

the game, the video review helped her saved the game.

Well, she could have played the ball. It looked like she had plenty

of room. It is so important. No wonder we are getting plenty of

lets. The crowd feel for Laura. You can understand that. Game ball

again. Third time. Excellent rally from Laura! Great

control. Game point down, you really have to hold your nerves and that

was a really great rally from Laura Massaro.

Missed it! A real surprise. Unusual for Laura. We have had the whole

gamut of emotion here. Fourth game point now for Alison Waters.

She has got it! There is going to be a video review. It is not over.

Video review on the stroke decision towards us. It went against Laura

Massaro the last time. Can you get back to the court for the video

review? She is going back but with no racket. I assume she thinks the

decision will be upheld. Well, they were all smiles when they

came on court, two women who know each other very well, but they are

fighting like demons now and you can understand it. Stroke was the call

given. I will be amazed if it is changed but you never know.

There it is. And it is one game each. 14-12 to Alison Waters. One

game all. Quite a thrilling and full of controversy. So many lets and a

couple of strokes given at the end. We are at one game each.

Well, she was looking out played at the start of that game, six - one.

Laura will be kicking itself because she was in total control of the

match and now she is right in the middle of a game.

Well, Laura Massaro was in total control at one stage and she has

rested that control away. One of the England coaches was saying to Alison

that she can't go out there and blasted. She has to do it in

patches, consolidate, then go hard again and consolidate. Build on the

game that way instead of trying to win it flat out. We will see if she

is able to do that. But Laura Massaro in total control of the

first game and the first half of the second game. I kind of felt it was

make or break for Alison, she had to get stuck in, go for some shots, mix

up the match ibid. -- a bit. There was in two straight or different

about her game and she when mixed things up, it took Laura Massaro out

of her groove and then the match got interesting. She needs to do the

same again. She can't afford to keep going in going drive, drive, drive.

She has two throw some more shots in and that will make the difference.

-- she has to throw. I can't imagine things will be very different in

game number three. It will be fascinating to see how Alison Waters

plays this. I think it will only get more feisty. Both of these girls

will want to get through to the gold and silver medal match. To lose now

is a real blow. Water is fourth in Delhi, the worst possible place to

be. -- Waters. Laura Massaro was one place behind and now the favourite

at one game all. The best of five. Yes, Laura Massaro waiting and

waiting to hit her shop. Get her out of position. Very effective. Good

start after the disappointment of losing the second game.

How many rackets would she take courtside? Probably five or six, I

would think. In a match you can break two or three strings. None are

broken and I think she must have cracked the head of the racket. You

can lose tension then, so you need to change straightaway. But five or

six rackets, depending on the player. Same tension? Everything

will be the same, the grips and the strings.

Perhaps a little lucky to get away with that little let. Second best in

the rally. She is getting opportunities in the

front court, Alison Waters, and not able to take them. It is easy to say

from here why does she miss them? But the pressure is on. She wants to

get their head and is trying to take the opportunities that is playing

too tight. -- get ahead. She needs more leeway.

Stroke to Laura Massaro. Appeal. Video recording. She had better be

right to make the appeal so early on.

Well, very similar to the one we had before. I would be surprised if it

is changed. The original decision was stroke and

it stays that way. Alison Waters has no reviews remaining. 6-0.

Well played. Little glance back to see where Laura Massaro was and a

beautiful shot into the corner. Massaro playing with a lot of

confidence, playing more smoothly. She is pushing up the court. It is

noticeable when a player takes charge. It is looking for the

opportunity, which ultimately opens up the court.

Brilliant shot. Interesting. It was a superb kill. But no appeal.

Brilliant shot. Interesting. It was go for the net? She is. This is

terrific from Massaro now. She is playing with a lot more confidence.

Great running by Laura. Stroke to Massaro. Yes. It is a bit of a

shame. It is a great rally but Laura looking for that one. She could have

played the shot at any time. Unfortunately, Alison is in her

swing and it is her stroke. She knows the game. She knows what the

officials might do. First error for a long time. Walter 's supporters

are starting to get a little bit more animated.

Is this a squash match or a boxing match, I wonder. She is over egging

the pudding. There was no need for a push quite like that. I think a bit

of frustration on Alison's part. That really was a show. Not

necessary, really. Seven game points. -- really was a shove. Laura

Massaro reasserts herself here. It is a big start and she never

relinquished it. She goes to her chair leading 2-1. She really was in

charge for most of that game. Exactly. I think she went back on

court after losing her second knowing her game plan and she stuck

to it. Much more positive. She is just going to disappear and change

her shirt. Much more positive. More aggressive on the ball. Looking for

the opportunities again. In the second game she was laying back a

bit. She was allowing Alison to dominate a bit more. To take

advantage of the T. Whereas this time she was prepared to push Alison

back and make the most of the opportunity. More assertiveness in

that game. She became a bit tentative in the second game.

Possibly, a bit of pressure creeping in that second game cost her a few

points. In that third game, she really was on the money. She knew

what she was trying to do. She just implemented it to the letter. Really

good fence. Her defence was really good as well. Tight to the wall.

That makes all the difference if you do not give your opponent the

angles. The moment you put those into play, you are in all sorts of

troubles. You have to negate those angles. Keep it nice and deep and

then when you open up, jump on it and take your opportunity. It was

that kind of balance that she was displaying so well in the third

game. So the number two seed, just a game away from her first final in

the Commonwealth Games. First singles final. She has got to the

doubles final. Runners-up with Jenny Duncalf in Delhi in 2010. This would

mean so much to her. She has achieved so much. Waters, how is she

going to turn this around? Has to show some of the form she showed

when she really took hold of that second game.

Again, so tight to the wall. No let given. I just feel that Alison is

far more consumed with not getting a let or a situation that is going on

on court rather than focusing on her game and concentrating on what she'd

need to do to win the match. She is slightly angry about the things that

are not important as opposed to the things that are.

are not important as opposed to the defence. That is one of the things

that Laura has really improved on. Her mental attitude. She's really

good, even when she has had a bit of a blip. She doesn't play the next

point like she has had a bad point prior to that. She really does

concentrate. I think that has been a really big improvement in her game.

She is clasping at straws asking for let's like that, Alison Waters. Her

whole body language is very different to the way she started the

match. Shoulders down. She is trying to pep herself bouncing up and down.

This is racing away from her now. Laura Massaro has total confidence.

Sporting. Making the decision that the ball wasn't up before the

officials. But it is 6-0. Oh yes. Love that. Great shot. She came back

from 6-1 down in the second game and won it. Can't see it happening this

time around but that was good. Total deception. Often when you are

playing that well, luck goes with you. Well, it does. I think at the

moment Laura Massaro is in total control. I cannot see Alison coming

back from this. She doesn't look positive enough to me. Disappointing

to see that she doesn't seem that positive about the fact that she is

still in the match. It has got to be now or never. No need to go for

those shops. I don't think so. It is difficult. 7-2. She is only four

points away. She smells the winning line and it sometimes gets the

better of you. She has just got to stay focused and keep under control.

Alison is just not happy at all. She is a picture of frustration at the

moment. Well, that looked great. It is nice to see her attacking.

Sometimes, when you feel you are down and out of a match, you kind of

just let go and relax and just play. Really, that is what she needs to

do. Nearly a nasty moment. Ideal boast from Massaro. Well, it was a

great shot by Laura. How lucky was that? Oh dear. A complete mis-hit.

She could not have placed it any better. She could do with all the

help she can get at the moment, so that is a good way. Lovely. So here,

five match points. For a place in the final. It did look out. Stop!

The ball was out. We called it out. After Alison Waters had appointed

that it was out. I think it was out. They were rather late calling it. It

was a close one. Well played. Hanging in there. That is just the

kind of play we have been calling for. In the front court. If she is

going to get back into this match, it is what she has to do. Take the

opportunities when they are there. Cannot let them go. An appeal.

I think probably it was a let. In the general scheme of things, the

way this has been going, you think it probably was. A bit ambitious

thinking she could get in front there. I think so. A couple of feet

away from a side ward, not -- sidewall, not clinging to one so

probably a let ball. And if she doesn't get it, the match is over.

It is that important. Is she hanging on? Yes. Decision upheld. Yes, let.

No doubt about that one. It is getting very tense here.

Yes, not enough width that time from Massaro and three match balls have

been saved. You wonder whether or not the nerves are coming into play

from Laura. It is Laura Massaro who goes through

to the final. She will play Nicol David in the final. The numbers one

and two seeds will contest the final.

Well done to Laura Massaro, the defending World Champion, through to

the Commonwealth final where she will battle for gold of course. We

are back at Pacific Quay just outside BBC Scotland where the bases

for Glasgow 2014. BBC Live divides all kinds of entertainment. We have

had Simple Minds. And we have these guys all the way from South Africa.

You perform soul, Jazz, R, and traditional songs from South

Africa, do you? Yes, all kinds of styles and our music. We do not box

ourselves in one genre. We are versatile in terms of genre. Are you

taking in the vibe of the Commonwealth Games? Very much. South

Africa have just scored right now. Very nice. What have been your

highlights? You have been here for three months. Yes, quite some time.

One of the highlights was performing here on stage. The crowd was very

lively. And you have more performances to come between now and

September. Yes, we are performing at the fringe, from the first to the

25th. We are performing at our main venue and if you want to come and

see us, you will be amazed. OK, venue and if you want to come and

amaze us now with a rendition of your finest. All right!

At Kelvingrove, Natalie Melmore was hoping to retain her singles title

in lawn bowls for England just hours before her 25th birthday but it was

not to be because Jo Edwards won by 21 to 15.

Time to bring you some boxing now from the SECC. The fight took place

earlier today. Reece McFadden of Scotland has his eyes on a medal in

his home Games. He completed a major upset in the last round by dispatch

in one of the favourites for Commonwealth gold, Andrew Selby of

Wales. He was taking on Charlie Edwards of England in the flyweight

division. Here we go, the first of the

scheduled three three-minute rounds. The flyweight division. Charlie

Edwards competing in his first bout of the contest having received a bye

into the second round. His opponent is 19-year-old Reece McFadden.

Waging war immediately, getting through a good right jab. It will be

interesting to see if Reece McFadden employs the same tactics as he did

against Selby. He seemed to wait for him to strike and caught him on the

way out. Clever tactics from the young Scotsmen. Whether he will do

that against Charlie Edwards, who has a different style, remains to be

seen. Reece McFadden having a success with his forward forays. He

has turned orthodox momentarily. He is having success with the jab. Just

over a minute gone in the opening round.

Edwards was stalking flat-footed for a few moments. Those boxes looking

for openings, plenty of feinting. Edwards is just waiting, probably

waiting for the Scots to come in on the front foot so he can do the

countering. Both men reigning champions of their respective

nations. Good shot to the body countered immediately by a shot to

the head from Edwards. McFadden to the national title earlier this year

and Charlie Edwards did the same thing in Liverpool in a high quality

contest, as good as I have seen in recent years, against Jack Bates.

Nip and tuck all the way with Edwards, who came out on top, and

that was crucial for securing his passage through to this tournament

to where the English best in the flyweight division. -- to wearing

the English vest. He is not used to boxing so unorthodox. McFadden has

two watch what he is doing. The crowd are behind him but he is

making mistakes. Closing stages of this opening round. An exchange to

end the round between the two. Edwards pleased with his work,

pumping his right fist. Quite a close round to score. I think they

will be fairly pleased in the blue corner. Reece McFadden coming

forward. Deep. Not too bad. This is another angle. Three shots going in

from McFadden. Towards the end of that round, starting to make his own

work. A close one to score. Both men have had moments of success but all

three judges favoured McFadden over Charlie ages. Mike Keenan issuing

instructions. Into the second round we go. Reece

McFadden, the reigning national champion, has taken the opening

round in unanimous passion over his English counterpart. On the

Frankfurt from the Scottish man. Having some success from his forward

forays. -- on the front foot. The left hand was more correctly

thrown from McFadden in that exchange. Edwards is just 21 but in

2011, his first senior national tournament, he... Good response from

the crowd for that. He took a European championship bronze medal,

with a terrific movement from the junior to the senior ranks, and

coming away with that bronze medal in Turkey. That was that light

flyweight 49 kilograms. When McFadden is fighting against the

majority of his opponents, he gives away height and reach but he does it

well. He crouches back and waits for his opportunity. Edwards is

struggling to establish that jab. Trying to lead of the jab and then

go back to his opponent and it is not quite happening yet for Charlie

Edwards. This is his first bout in the Commonwealth Games. McFadden has

experienced this atmosphere before, an atmosphere which Charlie Edwards

will embrace, but he has got to find his rhythm and timing.

McFadden with the advantage of having a bout under his belt. Into

his rhythm. Left hand from Edwards, that single jab was not too far

away. McFadden switching to the orthodox. I think Edwards has got to

apply more pressure here. McFadden is comfortable sitting back and

waiting. He is picking off the English man with those shots, mainly

because he has been given the room and space to do that, and the time.

We need a change of tactics from Edwards. He has two up the tempo and

put his opponent under pressure. In the closing seconds of this round,

just over the top. The two boxers separated. Working to the body and

the referee allowing him to do so. Edwards likes what he did but smiles

on the face of Reece McFadden as well because he got some double shot

success. Successful with ones and twos. He went for him a little bit

but here he is waiting and waiting too long. That allows McFadden to

score. And on that exchange again with that left hand. He is happy at

the end of that round. Another close one. I am not going to argue with

that, all going for McFadden. Two rounds completed and both have gone

in the favour of Reece McFadden, in a good position as we wait for the

bell for the third round. Letting Charlie Edwards note the status.

Going to have Charlie Edwards note the status.

this third and final round. We move into round three. Charlie Edwards

trailing 2-0. He takes a hard left hand as the referee tries to come

between them to issue instructions about punching correctly. First and

third from Edwards was lovely. The jab, the range finding. Just moved

out of range again and brought his opponent onto a long left hook. He

needs more of that, does Edwards. The year when he won the bronze

medal at senior level, Reece McFadden was emanating that feat as

junior, getting a junior championship bronze. More roaring

from the crowd but their heads are clashing at close quarters. A bit

scrappy and they have to watch that. Nobody wants to sustain a cut.

Good from McFadden once more. The decibel level is beginning to

rise in the SECC with cries of Scotland, Scotland, drowning out

everything else. A sizeable English contingent here as well. That is

better from Edwards. The first round has dictated the tactics for the

next two rounds. Charlie's father is in attendance here. I had a

conversation with him and he said that he was feeling good. He is in a

difficult position because he has conceded the opening two rounds and

the clock is ticking down. Reece McFadden has boxed very well.

Keeping out of harms way and having success in the exchanges with his

vast counters. Edwards is trying to close the distance. He is difficult

to get to, McFadden. He stays back and then he comes in with very fast

counters. It is a very difficult style to box against. Inside the

final 30 seconds. Edwards remaining patient trying to fashion an opening

but the clock is in favour of the Scotsman. That is much better work

from Edwards. A furious exchange to conclude this third round. But as

the bell sounds, both boxers raise their arms immediately. Rhys

McFadden took the opening two rounds in unanimous fashion. You see his

pensive face. I suspect they think their man has been eliminated.

Charlie Edwards has come up against an inspired Reece McFadden. We will

go to the score cards but I suspect that Edwards has not done enough to

turn it around. A scrappy display by both boxers. I think Edwards should

have applied more pressure. The counters from McFadden have been the

difference. Ladies and gentlemen, a fantastic opening contest. Let's

hear it for both boxers this evening. The winner by unanimous

decision, into the quarterfinal, in the blue corner, Reece McFadden!

19-year-old Reece McFadden has pulled off what must be considered

another upset. He has beaten a Great Britain representative for the

second time in these Commonwealth Games and he takes a well-deserved

bow to the fans who are cheering his accomplishments in hearty fashion.

Reece McFadden has beaten Charlie Edwards on a unanimous decision.

Team McFadden are delighted because their boxer is one bout away from a

bronze medal. Charlie Edwards eliminated, conceding the first two

rounds in unanimous fashion. Edwards had enough -- McFadden had enough in

the tank to get him over the line. Here in front of his home fans. That

was an amazing fight for you. It was. It was hard but I battled on

and I won't. I don't know why he thought he was going to win the

fight. Can I ask you who you thought won the fight? I don't think anyone

thought that you didn't win. It was a good fight. I really enjoyed it. I

am just going to enjoy the next one and the next one until I go on and

win the gold medal. The opening two rounds must give you a lot of

confidence. I am confident every time I get in the ring. I guess that

there must be something wrong with me. Keep it going. Reece McFadden

through to the next round. We have moved indoors. It has started to

rain. We are in the hub of the Commonwealth Games. We want you to

get in touch, showing us your Commonwelfies. You can go to the

website or our Facebook or Google pages. I don't think that the Daleks

have got the right idea. We want to see you enjoying our coverage of the

Commonwealth game. Amy Young has sent this in, enjoying a glass of

wine while enjoying the rugby. Lisa was enjoying the action at Glasgow

cream despite the rain. This one from the athletics over at Hampden

Park. Chris Stark has shown this one of his baby fast asleep at the table

tennis. It takes some doing. We have a big screen across from ours. Many

people watching BBC1 which is just one of the ways you can follow

Glasgow 2014. Liam Tancock and Fran Halsall will both go for gold in the

pool. BBC1 for the best of the swimming action. It is semifinals

night in the squash. Laura Massaro is into the final. Can James

Willstrop do the same in the men's? That is just getting underway. The

red button also has the badminton. The mixed teams getting underway. It

is also England V India in the table tennis, the semifinal of the men's

event is available online. The recently crowned British champion

Jack Oliver is going for gold in the weightlifting which is currently

online in full. It has been a busy day in the rugby sevens over at

Ibrox. There was the unusual sound of the Ibrox draw for both England

and Wales, along with England and Scotland they fail to get beyond the

quarterfinal stage. England and Wales have a final chance in the

plate final. Let's go over there now and join the commentary team. It is

the nature of sevens competition that once you have lost you go into

a lesser competition. It is part of the culture and the ethos of rugby.

Irrespective of anything else it is England against Wales and there will

be an edge. There always is a bit of an edge. Both teams will be bitterly

disappointed not to be in with a chance of a medal. But it is a

fantastic atmosphere, the last game of the tournament for these lads

giving it everything. Lots of English fags, -- flags. I just hope

that they throw the ball around and have a really exciting game. Wales

are the underdogs on world rankings. A very interesting game coming up.

The physicality of England against the thoughtful game of Wales. This

is the last match before the medal matches. This is for fifth and sixth

spot. Afterwards, it is the match for the bronze medal, Australia

against Samoa. After that, we are on BBC1 for the final between New

Zealand and South Africa. It promises to be the outstanding

contest of the Commonwealth Games. But here we go, England against

Wales is always special. COMMENTATOR: Davies takes the cake.

-- kick. Lays the ball back. Seems to have been pinched. The referee is

happy with that. First attack for England. First time they have the

ball. From good break up the middle. Watson with a bit of thrust. Davis

has the opportunity to gather the spilled ball from England. The

atmosphere is building nicely. It has been jumping all afternoon. Just

overran the past there. James Davies back into the poker position. Lee

Williams is the only surviving member of the side that won the

championships in 2009. Great defence. Took two bites of the

cherry but he did the work in the end. That is Norton that has come in

illegally. Thomas the captain. Williams. Great play. A flick out of

the back door from the captain Adam Thomas. It is that man Lee Williams.

The first try of the final against England. He was frustrated because

he didn't need the wide pass. But look at the running on the outside,

brilliant from the Welshman. Steps in, flicks the ball out of the back

door, not only that but attracts two defenders. Creating the overlap.

Davies doesn't manage to add the extras. Watch the reaction of Lee

Williams when he doesn't get the ball. Adam Thomas has done so well

for Wales to slip one out there. The back door. The delight from Williams

evident. Hanging kick again. It is gross and Thomas there. Well taken

out of the air by Thomas Powell. Burgess. Sneaking up the blindside.

Thomas was aware. The Welsh captain back on his feet. James Davies takes

it quickly. He has grossed with him. Williams, Harries. Davis outside.

This is him. A flat pass to Morgan. Straight down the wing. Shows his

strength. Will Harries get over in the corner? It is another try for

Wales. Very well worked. As they did against Australia, Wales have come

out of the box. -- blocks. It is the strength and support of the running

lines that are so good down the right-hand side. That is a great

shrike. He is not able to add the extras but it is ten points to the

good for Wales. Arab Williams looks on and he will be purring inside

with the quality of this try. Interestingly enough, I look down

the Welsh bench and looked at Wayne Proctor, the former international

winger, the strength and coach, and I must say that these Welsh boys are

well conditioned. Remember, this is the sixth time that these boys, both

teams, have played throughout the weekend. Trust me, it doesn't matter

when it is Wales against England. Either team is desperate to get the

bragging rights. Lewis Pratt. Baby comes on the angle. Great run up the

middle. Davies shows him a clean pair of heels. So many dummy runners

coming for England. They took their eye off Bibby and he spotted the

gap. Sometimes as a player you back yourself and Dan Bibby. Wonderful

camerawork to follow the England man into the tri- zone. Great running

from Bibby. Great response from England to pull one back. Good in

telling to play between Christian Lewis-Pratt and Dan Bibby. --

interlinked play. Looking sharp. As we wind down towards the end of this

first pulsating half, Wales with a 3-point advantage.

Opportunity! Now referee has a decision to make. Did he go over the

line? Immediately the try is given. Talk us through that. Brilliant from

James Davis. A great riposte. He timed that perfectly. Then I buy BB

-- denied by Dan Bibby the first time. The intensity!

A great first half in the plate final. Wales just edging it at the

moment. A very exciting half of sevens. Here we have confirmation.

One day you might have noticed from some of the Welsh players,

One day you might have noticed from some -- one thing. They had a

wristband on that says stay strong, to show support for Williams and the

injury that he sustained. Yes, Owen Williams was seriously

injured in an accident in a tennis tournament. Yes, stay strong for

him. Fingers crossed. We are being spoiled. Just when you think you

can't have another exciting game, you get another thriller. That is

rugby sevens. Even when there is nothing on the line here, just

playing for fifth and sixth, they are playing. I have no idea where

the plate goes! There is a plate. It is one of those things, the plate,

that goes in the cupboard under the stairs, and then somebody finds it

30 years later. The plate competition. But it is England

against Wales. England have started well again and taken opportunities

and we hope they can hang on. That is the key. They have created a lot

of tries. Going on the outside flanks and they don't want to take

them up the middle. Just in front. I hope they can hang on. Wales will be

acutely aware of what happened when they played Australia earlier today

in the outstanding match so far of this festival, when they were nearly

home and dry. And Australia won with the last ball of the match. It can

turn very swiftly in sevens. They are only eight points up here and

that is just one score and a bit. Any score could be crucial. The

referee has called release. What have England got? Good

interplay. riposte in the second half, bringing

the score within three points with a conversion to come. Great play,

especially from Dan Bibby. Marcus Watson outstripping the Wales

defence and a lovely, executed try. After the 12 points scored so far,

Dan Bibby has had a hand in most, scoring a try himself and creating

that one over Watson. Christian Lewis-Pratt has had the opportunity

to keep the deficit to one point. It is interesting that when you

consider that England lost their captain yesterday in Tom Mitchell,

sometimes players stand up to the mark and Dan Bibby and Christian

Lewis-Pratt have been taking responsibility. He comes off because

he has taken a little knock. And Watson, the try scorer, also off.

Brake has come on to replace him. Dan Bibby did not quite get that

right but it is the first mistake he has made. A wry smile from Dan

right but it is the first mistake he Bibby, the proud Lancastrian. Maybe

getting stick from his mates for that.

Great tackle from Dan Bibby. Wales maintain possession.

Wales trying to create quickly but it is an England ball. England were

magnificent, flying up on the Welsh line. James Rodwell now coming off

the bench. Mark Bright makes way. Still plenty of opportunity in this

game for both teams. Brake with the throw in. He will go round and

collected. -- collect it. Jason Harries will take the penalty

or swap. Lee Williams comes across. Morgan makes the long trek across

field to get out onto the win. Why is Morgan on the wing?

Great counterplay from England. Yes, good. Morgan had to

play-the-ball at the bottom of the pile and was penalised accordingly.

England keeping their composure and keeping their line intact. England

set the attacking move here. Lots of space in behind the defensive Welsh

line. England opting to push the ball down the touchline. Moving

towards the last two minutes of this plate final.

They suddenly realised there were two twin pines in the England pack!

Poor execution at the set piece. Minute and a half for Lee Williams

to set and protect this English line. Becoming very tactical. Both

teams looking to kick to touch and go for the set piece. The added

advantage of it eating into that time clock. Charlie makes an

entrance, replacing Phil Burgess, I think. No! The referee was calling

Burgess. Wales losing five or six metres but

retaining possession. And losing 20 seconds on the clock. I don't even

think the coach would say they planned that.

Penalty. England will be looking to take this and get out of their

inside the last 30 seconds. What can Dan Bibby do? Defence is strong by

Wales. Expect the hooter at any moment. We

are into last play territory. Last-ditch tackle from Jason

Harries. The ball is there to be recycled. Little dash down the

blindside. What are they going to do? James Rodwell finds the inside

ball to break. He off-loads. They are playing advantage. This is the

opportunity! Over in the corner! It will be heartbreak again for Wales.

They have lost out again for Australia. Great passage of play

from England, waiting in a try in the corner and thoroughly

well-deserved. Absolutely. A brilliant tackle by Groves. And Dan

Bibby down the far side. Burgess went in low. No worries about him

getting pushed out of touch. You have to say it was yet again that

man, Dan Bibby. Great vision, great pass, found Burgess on the

right-hand touchline. Finished the job. A fantastic game of rugby. It

was fantastic rugby. Australia did it by 21 points to 19 and England

have done it with the last play of the game by 17 points to 15, and

England's hero is Phil Burgess and of course Dan Bibby and all the

players who represented England in the Commonwealth Games sevens. They

have lit up the tournament. Two sides that we have very much enjoyed

watching play and a big smile from Dan Bibby and quite rightly because

he was magnificent in the final. He really ran the show for England.

They have missed Mitchell immensely but with Dan Bibby they had a

playmaker. It is hard to know quite what to

say! It would be better if it was six minutes each way, to be honest,

or six minutes and 50 seconds! D?j? vu. Last play. That is what sevens

is all about. They converge on and England just kept on plugging away

and deservedly got the try. You have to go to the last minute, it is such

an exciting game. All those cliches that we trot out in sport, we trot

them at because they are true. Two evenly matched sides toe to toe. It

is a long two days. The cumulative effect of their legs. England just

had enough to get across and when. When you get to the last play, you

know it is the last play, the level of execution and they lose. It has

been a late sport at the highest level. -- elite. We are going to see

the medal matches in a moment. 30 seconds, very quickly, we must have

a talk with the cook islands manager. Tell us what happened on

your way to competition today. We were running on time until our bus

crashed into the back of a car. Driving a bit too fast for the

conditions. Smashed into a beautiful new BMW. I am the manager. A bit of

pressure on me. We got off the bus and week caught a public bus. They

loved it. We got lots of at the stadium, a couple of blocks away. We

ran to the stadium which was our warm up and we won the game. It has

been fantastic. A great country, a great people, I am moving to the

place, it has been fantastic I have loved it. You have been an integral

part of the competition. Well done to you. Thank you very much indeed.

We have got the bronze match to come, Australia against Samoa and

then the final, South Africa against the All Blacks. As it is the top of

the hour, let us get a News of the hour, let us get a news update. We

I'm joking. I'm joking. You are the most sick and

twisted people I have ever met! The world's worst brother

and sister. Brand-new... the 2012 Commonwealth Games. Let's

head back to the SECC. The boxing prelims are into the last 16. With

Andrew Selby out in the first round to home favourite Reese McFadden, it

opened the door for the contender from Northern Ireland. We can join

it in the second round. COMMENTATOR: Dalston opened his account with a

convincing win over Christopher Katanga of Zambia. He exemplified

the art of hitting without being hit. He has exhibited that again in

the opening round. A good right hand to the chin of Dalston. Dalton is

far superior in terms of his movement to the Tanzanians. He

hasn't got full mobility from his calves. His feet are very

flat-footed. He cannot catch him because he is too slow on his feet.

Dalton not providing a stationary target. Generally, he cannot be

pinned down. A fluid moving target peppering with shots. Look how he is

continuing to fall short, punching air. Dalton was caught by a

right-hander there. The only way he will get caught if he is made to

miss. That is not a bad shot. Dalton has to keep moving his feet. His

opponent is struggling to cope with the movement. Mwanjwango Is having

minimal success in closing the distance. Dalton is stay out of

range of the Tanzanians's punches. Already saving his energy for the

second round. A couple of jabs here. A superb combination from Dalton.

Keeping the movement going. He finishes that sequence going with

his right hand. Really, he is in a total comfort zone, the Northern

Irishman. Let's see what the judges have gone with here. Given the Gulf

in experience and ability, apparent ability, that exists between the two

boxers. It is difficult to see what Mwanjwango can do to turn this in

his favour. Into the third and final round. Mwanjwango is trailing by two

rounds and he has barely laid a glove on Dalton. There is always the

possibility that he will land a punch. And that was a good right

hand. And another one. As Richie Woodhall has pointed out, the only

time he has a modicum of success is when Dalton stops moving. This is a

completely different tactic from the Northern Irishman. He takes another

left, right. He has been hit more in this round than in the preceding two

rounds. It just shows that if you change your tactics and get them

wrong, you play into the hands of the other man. Mwanjwango is having

some success here. It is simple tactics. Another right over the top

from Mwanjwango. And there is a long left. A left, right from Mwanjwango.

In electing to hold his feet and trade at mid and short range, Dalton

is coming off second best in this first half of the final round. When

you are moving off the back foot, you will frustrate your opponent. He

will try silly shots from silly angles and leave himself open. That

is what is happening now. Mwanjwango is really going for it and not

eating much. He is committed all the time with shots and leading himself

open. Standing there, he has got half a chance. A much better start

to the round from Mwanjwango. That is probably due to the tactics of

Dalton. Rather than gliding from left to right like he did

first two rounds, he is electing to stand on his feet and

first two rounds, he is electing to And another good punch there. You

have got to hand it to him, Mwanjwango is limited but he is

strong. He knows he is losing but he keeps coming forward and he is still

ambitious. There is another left hook. Now he is pinned in a neutral

corner and Mwanjwango is teeing off. But not with much success. He

probably wishes there is another three rounds but it is too late.

That third round brings a round of applause from the crowd. Dalton

received far more punches and punishment during that round then he

did in the entirety of the first two rounds. The Tanzanians kept coming

forward. Sustained persistent pressure. Because Dalton chose to

hold his feet he is caught by a terrific left hand. It was a good

performance. He definitely lost the last round. For me, this fella had

some success. But it wasn't enough. Ladies and gentlemen, we have our

judges scores. The winner moving through to the quarterfinal stages,

in the red corner, Ruairi Dalton! Mwanjwango has been outpointed in

spectacular fashion. The man from Tanzania came into it far more than

he was in the first round. Nevertheless, Ruairi Dalton is one

bout away from a Commonwealth medal. It is turning out into a chilled

evening here in Glasgow. It is anything but that at Ibrox. It is

raining here as well but it is not dampening the spirits. Everything is

moving to fever pitch. We really do think that the final could be a

classic. This bronze medal match is interesting because some hour took a

thumping from South Africa in the semifinal. How will they respond

when Australia are the favourites? They are but there is something

tangible to play for for these teams. Samoa came up against the

best performance of the two days in the semifinal which was from South

Africa. If they can get the ball in space they will score tries. If they

can just bring him into the game that is the key. But not too early.

This could be a very physical encounter because both of them like

contact. Here, you lose this match and you are forth and it is worth

nothing. There is a lot at stake here. Have some hour got a medal

yet? Come back to me on that one in They have been so efficient, so

power. They have not done a lot to get you on the edge of your seat,

but what they have done, they have done it really. They have seen of

Papa New Guinea, Malaysia and Wales. Now they are giving Australia a run

for their money. The vision he had 2 cents the space

behind the defence. James Stannard coming to Australia's rescue.

Australia can breathe easy. There was a little takeout on the kicking

goal. Make up your own mind. Bodychecked, but he was committed to

the contact. The islanders have always been one of the powerhouses

of this right size version of the sport. Great rivals Fiji. Couple of

bronze and silver medals to their name dating back to 1988. Is this to

be Samoa's moment at The Games, take something back to the South Seas

with them? We will see Apter the remaining ten minutes or so. --

after. Patients stuff. Australia getting some red time on

the ball. Save pair of hands in the Samoan setup. Scored eight tries in

this tournament. Scrum-half, James Stannard scuttling back to get the

ball for Australia. Stannard scuttling back to get the

Bor years ago in Delhi. -- four years ago. Australia hold on to

possession. Liam Gill won a silver medal four years ago. Again, the

Samoan counter rucking is forceful. This is worse Samoa throughout the

tournament have posed problems. They have managed to slow the ball,

sometimes a little bit illegally. But the takeout of the player, the

Samoan, that should have been a penalty against Australia for taking

the player out. Binding wasn't right, that is the

reason for the penalty that James Stannard fires into the stands.

Masterminding was macro push towards the Olympics. Not just this Olympics

but looking forward to Tokyo as well. Or the first time, it is

Australia who can try and launch themselves going forward. It did not

last forward. Samoa will have the scrum. This time rugby sevens has

played its part at the Commonwealth Games. It has been displayed well

this week in Glasgow. I imagine those watching in Brazil will be

looking forward to hosting this sport in a couple of years time.

Intense. Reminds me of a game of chess, testing each other in and

around the breakdown. These two teams are well set with each other

and know each other as core teams on the circuit. It was one eventually

by Jenkins. They may get the first try. Greg Jolie adapt, who has been

their days in the Park in Glasgow so far, has another tried to add to his

name. He backed in self, Jeloudev. Great attitude from the young

Australian. How about that! It has summed up their first off in many of

the big games this week, they have not had the better of it in terms of

the big games this week, they have possession and territory. A look at

the scoreboard. They cover for possession and territory. A look at

other so well, run the channels in attack and in defence, in Sean

McMahon, they have an outstanding character. Sean McMahon, look at him

chasing the ball. Australia win it back again on the hooter. Jeloudev

fancied a second. Desperate defending by some hour. Equally so,

Australia to win it back. Threat apparent but the Australians. The

ball goes dead, we will head into the half-time will stop still having

the penalty. Samoa are a man down. They will have to defend one man

short. Again it is Jeloudev. The Australian radar was switched on,

they knew the importance of a quick ball with a Samoan on the floor.

James Stannard just managed to tap and go. All through the hands of

Jeloudev. He knew where the line was. Just limping, is he? Maybe a

touch of cramp. They 5.5 games through what has been a murderous

week end. The drop goal conversion from Cameron Clark strides as --

slices across. Those two Mr Duggan versions mean it

is only ten points and back could come back to form the Australians.

Samoa do have a medal, they have a bronze medal in the weightlifting

and they would like another bronze medal here, but the way it is going,

they will not get one. Try it Australia. One player injured on the

floor, extra man, try Australia. That is the difference in this first

half. They are so well matched, the two chances came, two tries. It was

a missed tackle, which will be talked about which caused the try. I

think Australia just look to be having their heads a bit more in

this game. Like we have seen on so many occasions, half-time can turn

things around. Do not rule Samoa out of this. Jeloudev has had a great

game scoring two tries. I don't think they will change anything.

They have not isolated the Samoans at all. There are some weary

figures. They are lifting themselves the seven more minutes when they

have been playing 90 minutes, just seven of them. The ball isn't out

our play along either. Tired bodies, but some tired minds. They have got

to focus one more time, broke the Australians and the Samoans with a

bronze medal at stake. Ed Jenkins, the skipper draws the

penalty. Once again a bit of language we could do without on a

Sunday! The Australians looking to increase their lead. They just know

if they can keep control of the ball, stop Samoa competing at the

breakdown, that is where the game will be one and lost. One by Sean

McMahon launching another Australian attack. Palmer who took a bit of a

knock in the semifinal against New Zealand. But he is back on his

speed. Such good work. Once again, James Stannard was at the centre of

things to win possession back. What can Liam Gill do with it?

Under the gaze of Geraint John. Once again

Under the gaze of Geraint John. it is Sean McMahon. Such a handful.

Goodness me! The strength of Sean McMahon to get back close to the

line and take Australia to the brink of their third try. The bronze medal

is almost birds, they can almost touch it. Look at the strength of

Sean McMahon. He represented Australia for the first time at 17.

20 now and he made this try. Two players who have been central to

Australia over the last few minutes. Combining to score a try which may

have taken them beyond the reach of the Samoans. The extra insurance of

another two points from the conversion. He can take his place on

the bench and take some water, knowing he has done his bit. Nothing

more he can do. Sean McMahon, we identified him as a real workhorse

of a player and he has been replaced by Tom Cusack. Australia,

silver-medallists in Delhi four years ago. Bronze medal in Kuala

Lumpur. All those years later, set to repeat. Samoa will still think

they have a few words to say about it, however. They need to score

quickly. They are into Australian territory.

Lio Lolo striding with some purpose. The injury to Asifaamatala upfront

has been crucial. But they are up against a very good Australian team.

Gavin John from Australia will be delighted with his charges. I'm sure

he will be the first to recognise the work that Michael O Connor has

done since taking over at the 11th hour. As the rain is starting to

fall. We were promised one or two showers today and we have escaped

quite likely. But we are getting a bit of a dousing here. The Glasgow

skies south of the Clyde. It is taken on by Tulolo Tulolo. Some were

nearly needing something special now. The camaraderie was evident

with that last bit of work and each of the Australian players clapping

each other. Egging each other on. A good team ethos amongst this

Australia team. Tom Lucas to feed the fruit machine. Foley. Two Pama

Fou. Scored some important tries on the way to this bronze medal match.

The number 11. Lost it though. An opportunity for Samoa to do

something with it. It was lost by Afa Aiono. Lost of that unity to do

some more attacking. -- lost that opportunity. There have been some

familiar names in this Wallabies setup down the line. David Campese

was one of the people in charge. Matt Giteau. He has played his part.

Turner, Cummins, silver medals in 2010. Players who have featured in

this seven side. This 2014 generation are powering towards

bronze in Glasgow. Sam Myers make sure. It will be Aussie runs.

Absolutely. -- bronze. There was a sharpness to that Australian play.

The sixth game of their weekend. Jenkins the captain is first to

congratulate the try scorer Sam Myers. Just going to have time for

the restart. Some Samoa have been completely shut out. They have been

outfought. , Foley with the line-out. There has been a sharpness

in this Australian performance. Delight on the bench. They are

standing up now and they will be standing on the medals podium before

the evening is out here at Ibrox. They are going to have bronze medals

around their neck. Selesele could not control the ball. Tulolo Tulolo

for Samoa who still cannot get their hands on a Commonwealth Games medal.

Still can't move any closer to Fiji's achievements. Fiavaai trying

to do his best but the game is gone for the Islanders. They only

finished eighth in the world 11 series last year. This was a chance

to improve an otherwise pallid year for them. It is not going to happen.

They fail to make any headway on the scoreboard after dominating the

first five minutes of the match and it has never looked likely. Samoa

want to have the last word. Silly silly thought it was going to be

him. But emphatically it is Australia. -- sailor Soleil.

While that game was going on we were treated to a sensational sunset here

at Pacific key. The sun falling down behind the transport Museum here.

They had a similar one yesterday but lighting issues meant that we

couldn't appreciate it. England won the plate in the rugby sevens. It

was scant consolation at the end of the day because they are effectively

finished fifth. After the contest, John spoke to England back Marcus

Watson. You couldn't have left it much later in that game. We had a

difficult start but we pulled through in the end. How do assess

your performance overall? We came for the gold so a bit disappointed

but the last two games, it was good to get a win. From your point of

view, you scored a couple of spectacular individual tries. You

cannot have had a bigger reception anywhere. The crowd has been amazing

here and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. You are an interested

observer at the final, how do you assess it? We'll see. It is going to

be a good. New Zealand have just edged it this year. It has been an

amazing experience. We are going home tomorrow, unfortunately. Thank

you very much. That final will be over on BBC1 shortly. We have been

getting some of your Commonwelfies. Use the hashtag. Ronnie has managed

to get a Commonwelfies with the Australian cycling team. Alex took

his with his grandfather at the rugby sevens. Clyde has been

everywhere and Scott got his picture with Clyde the mascot. Some of the

BBC rugby team were involved with this one. And Dave Rogers the

badminton announcer at the Commonwealth Games sent as this

picture following our coverage. So only a handful of games available

for your viewing at the moment. Gold medal match in the rugby sevens will

be over on BBC1. New Zealand never beaten in the Commonwealth Games

against South Africa. In the hockey, England are playing their second

pool match against me -- against Malaysian. If you have been watching

the coverage over the last couple of days you will have noticed rowing

legend Katherine Grainger all over the place trying to grab words with

some athletes. Glasgow is her home and she learned her trade here.

Let's get her take on glorious Glasgow. Behind me lies Glasgow

cream. One of Glasgow's biggest and most well-known greens paces. It

will be home to the hockey competition and form part of the

marathon route and road race. The Clyde here is home to rowing clubs.

It's stretch of water is where I first got in a boat and never looked

back once. Just across the street in the east end lies the Barra market.

An iconic landmark is here, a popular ballroom that was turned

into a popular concert venue. Barrowlands is a venue that

everybody wants to play. In 2012 when I won the Olympics, that

traffic cone was painted gold. Established in 1451, Glasgow

University is the fourth oldest in the English-speaking world. It

played a crucial role in 18th-century Scottish

Enlightenment. Its buyers dominate the skyline and it has many

illustrious alumna including James Watt and John Logie Baird. Several

Nobel laureates, to British prime ministers, senior Emily Sunday and

actor Gerard Butler. Glaswegians have a tough worth ethic -- work

ethic and a strong sense of play. In this street the pubs clubs and

restaurants throw their doors open ready for everyone to enjoy

themselves. Growing up in Glasgow, no school year was complete without

a trip to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. Everything I

know about Egypt, Dinah Shore is an Medieval Britain began here. There

is even a full life Spitfire and a trip to visit Alvis. What's not to

love? It is one of the most visited free attractions in the whole UK.

This summer it became famous for something even bigger. The

Commonwealth Games came to the Kelvingrove and brought lawn bowls

with them. Interesting to see her at Kelvingrove, one of the most

picturesque venues at the games. The final of the men's badminton. Nick

Matthew took on fellow squad member Peter Barker. Matthew came through

that 3-0 to reach another major final.

Six success for Nick Matthew. Can he be joined by James Willstrop. He

faces Saurav Ghosal of India. be joined by James Willstrop. He

COMMENTATOR: Again, you feel for Saurav Ghosal, he has provided some

spectacular moments but he has got nothing to show for it. James

Willstrop is a game away from the final. Let's see if we can pick up

anything here will final. Let's see if we can pick up

anything here will don't give him things to chase onto.

Anything that you are going to open up on INAUDIBLE

The only thing I could pick up was not to hit with so much pace from

the back of the court, use more control. David Campion the England

coach saying to James it is OK and play your normal game. Pushed to the

back of the court. You have two be more aggressive sometimes. It is not

going to do it. Saurav Ghosal is moving too well and he is able to

return it and create his own pressure. It takes James out of his

comfort zone. It is a good sign for Saurav Ghosal. He is making James

Willstrop working Gregory hard in this match. -- work incredibly hard.

It has been a wonderful match to watch. Saurav Ghosal came back from

two games down yesterday but to do that against James Willstrop playing

like this, the number six in the world, it is a massive Aske. He does

looks fresh, Ghosal. James Willstrop's game, plays a bit

slower, so he does a lot of miles around the court, front and back.

Two players who train at the same club. Coached by the same man.

Willstrop's dad. What is he thinking now with his son just one game

away? A rare mistake. Takes great care in

the execution of every shot, James Willstrop. Even his serve will stop

--. Because of his technique he can leave the ball a little bit later

than most players. He can utilise the wrist. As we see, let the ball

the wrist. As we see, let the comeback quite fast so he can use

the strings. Wait and then executed. Very nice shot.

Andrew Shelley. Chief executive of world squash. Must be very proud of

the show Glasgow have put on and also these competitors have put on.

Great advertisement for squash and what is essentially a window into

the world of a game of squash. The hope now is the big cheeses in the

IOC are watching what is being delivered here. It is obviously the

goal of squash to get into the Olympic sport. They want that

recognition. It is such an intense affiliation, the players do have

with this game. They are struggling to believe squash is not in the

Olympics. It exhibits all of the criteria squash is a sport has to

get into the Olympic Games. I don't want to get them into trouble so I

won't name them, but it is a better fit the Olympics than a lot of other

sports. It is a lot of criteria to fill, not just the sport itself, but

to fit into the logistics. Movable court. I am sure it will happen one

day... We hope. Yes! Willstrop getting closer and

closer now, to his goal. Strange miss then from Ghosal. This

is rapidly going Willstrop's way. Of course, 3-0 is a good score line.

You would want to leave something in the tank for the bronze medal match.

The bronze medal match is tomorrow. Maybe that could be in the back of

his mind, even now. If there is still a window of opportunity, I am

sure Ghosal will want to take advantage of every opportunity. As

this score creeps closer to the finish line the

this score creeps closer to the is certainly a consideration.

Ghosal is giving it the maximum right now. Lovely touch to finish.

Just caressed it home. No letter. I think that is harsh. He

is going after the video replay. -- letter. He was pretty close to it?

He was close and Willstrop was close to the ball as well. Look how tight

it was to the wall. That will be a consideration when the referee looks

at this. It was a beautifully executed shot. The appeal judge,

like an a second opinion. It does not increase the probability of

making a better decision, but it is a chance the Ghosal. Maybe that was

a sympathy let. Does such a ring exist? He is still in this. --

thing. Miraculous defending again. Ghosal

still maintains his appeal. When both players reached ten, they

automatically get one each again. They know each other really well.

Lovely moment. Two points away now, Willstrop.

Devilish disguise. Here are five match balls were James Willstrop.

Superb. James Willstrop has made it through. To the final of the

Commonwealth Games here in Glasgow. Runner up four years ago. He faces

the same man tomorrow. But you can see just getting to the final has

meant an awful lot to him. He guarantees himself at least a silver

medal now. He was made to work tonight. He did not have it all his

own way. The first two games were very tough. He had to think about

his strategy to get through. Had to change his natural game. He will

face Nick Matthew in an all English final. That is almost bit on BBC

Three in terms of coverage of Glasgow 2014. At 10:30pm on BBC One,

Clare Balding and Nick Chapman. What can we look forward to? Lots of

medallists, Chris Hoy and Mark Foster will be with us. We will be

looking forward to the final day of track cycling, we will have Laura

Trott adjoining is as well. We have the inspirational marathon runner,

Steven Way to talk to. We will concentrate on the home nations, but

tonight we will be going down the Australia route as well, with some

Australians coming in and we will reflect on the sevens be at Ibrox.

It should be allowed if there are a few Australians in? Yes it should be

and the Barman should be doing a few Australian cocktails as well. That

is it for BBC Three. Tomorrow, as far as we are concerned, we have

lawn bowls, Northern Ireland against South Africa starting at nine

o'clock. Swimming heeds starting from half past ten and Dan is with

wet, wet, wet. The crowd are poised, so let's get the house band

to play is out on BBC Three.
