:00:48. > :00:54.If you want to succeed in sport you you prepared to go? How about 195

:00:55. > :00:58.feet? This is the Finnieston Crane, one of only 11 cantilevered cranes

:00:59. > :01:03.anywhere in the world. For some it is a fitting tribute to the city 's

:01:04. > :01:25.I love Glasgow for the character of an

:01:26. > :01:28.I love Glasgow for the character of aid. I am looking at the place as a

:01:29. > :01:30.sort of giant playground. Street trials for me is a very individual

:01:31. > :01:41.thing and also it is really good to trials for me is a very individual

:01:42. > :01:46.do with friends, as a group. -- character of it.

:01:47. > :01:51.do with friends, as a group. -- writing. It is important for me to

:01:52. > :01:58.feel I have done my very best and I make it look as easy as possible. --

:01:59. > :02:02.perfection in riding. I am not competitive with other people but I

:02:03. > :02:07.feel competitive with myself. I think I have got a pretty good grasp

:02:08. > :02:13.in my head of what is possible for me to do on a bike. For some reason

:02:14. > :02:22.I always seem to know what my 100% is. I am in control of my own body.

:02:23. > :02:38.It does not matter if it is 15 feet or 200 feet.

:02:39. > :02:48.You want to live in a city that allows you to kind of be creative.

:02:49. > :02:55.When I feel that I have landed a trick perfectly it is really a

:02:56. > :02:57.feeling of relief because it is something I have been thinking about

:02:58. > :03:11.the long before it happened. Unbelievable, he was riding a bike

:03:12. > :03:18.up here, I am walking and I am not very happy. It is rusty, wobbly, and

:03:19. > :03:24.frankly unsteady on its feet. That is just me. Below me, 195 feet,

:03:25. > :03:30.who's counting? Here is another number, five, that is what day it

:03:31. > :03:36.is. Yesterday was absolutely sensational. Sophie Thornhill, the

:03:37. > :03:44.English Tandem win. The gold medal goes to England. Superb ride by the

:03:45. > :03:50.English pair. She takes the gold medal.

:03:51. > :03:58.She is miles ahead, this is utterly stunning, gold to England. It is

:03:59. > :04:06.gold to Siobhan-Marie O'Connor, look what it means. He claims the gold

:04:07. > :04:10.medal. Another British Commonwealth record and gold against the Fran

:04:11. > :04:18.Halsall, what a double. What a finish, Laura Trott delivers again

:04:19. > :04:21.when it matters, right at the end. England's top the table, I beg your

:04:22. > :04:27.pardon, Australia topped the table with England is not far behind.

:04:28. > :04:30.Charlotte Kerr would got her fourth Commonwealth gold, Laura Trott

:04:31. > :04:33.climbed out of her sickbed to deliver an extraordinary medal on

:04:34. > :04:37.the track and Fran Halsall doubled her golden moments in the pool. The

:04:38. > :04:41.home nation did not increase their goals tally but did add a bronze

:04:42. > :04:47.banks to their youngest team member ever, 13-year-old Erraid Davies

:04:48. > :04:52.making the podium. It is absolutely amazing up here. That's table will

:04:53. > :04:56.be changing today and already just past 9am, we had been walking up

:04:57. > :05:03.here, exhausted, but all of the competitors today have already been

:05:04. > :05:08.involved in the action. At the International hockey Centre, at

:05:09. > :05:11.Glasgow Green, South Africa are taking on Australia, that is on the

:05:12. > :05:19.red button. And this is what else we have got coming up this morning. At

:05:20. > :05:24.Kelvingrove Northern Ireland are chasing their first gold medal of

:05:25. > :05:36.2014, their men's triples are in action. We will be bringing you

:05:37. > :05:44.netball as Wales take on Barbados. And there is another busy morning of

:05:45. > :05:48.swimming in store at Tollcross. But now we will head to Kelvingrove,

:05:49. > :05:54.about a mile in that direction but I don't want the cameraman to turn

:05:55. > :06:00.very quickly because we are a bit precarious. Northern Ireland in

:06:01. > :06:05.action, they will retire after this event but can they go out on a high?

:06:06. > :06:14.We can join Paul Mitchell and John Price and I am going onto terra

:06:15. > :06:34.firma. COMMENTATOR: Skip of the pairs. Mark McHugh playing in the

:06:35. > :06:49.fours this week. The players get to play in two disciplines. Two

:06:50. > :07:00.opportunities at a medal. The good ends building here. They lie three.

:07:01. > :07:03.Checking his bank balance on his mobile. He would need a tablet for

:07:04. > :07:35.that. It must be seven minutes after the

:07:36. > :07:59.hour, the University clock is chiming. BELL

:08:00. > :08:32.Oh dear, it is in the road. Difficult bowl to get around.

:08:33. > :08:40.Neil looking to defend. No danger here. Hi line. Just popped it out

:08:41. > :08:49.too far. -- that is close to being in that you

:08:50. > :09:23.would expect a very beatable. Needs the push and gets it. If that

:09:24. > :09:37.is not shot that is certainly second. Still Northern Ireland. But

:09:38. > :09:47.a good save by Bobby Donnelly. Neil Booth has the right to reply. Harry,

:09:48. > :10:24.made! A good effort. -- hurry mate. I cannot see him changing, really.

:10:25. > :11:01.Same sort of strength Pushing again, looking to push the

:11:02. > :11:08.bowl. Just a little bit too far. Good effort again. Couple of good

:11:09. > :11:19.bowls from Bobby Donnelly for South Africa. Yes, he is very good at

:11:20. > :11:24.that, Bob. Just when he is in trouble he produces a really good

:11:25. > :11:27.bowl. Did that a few times in the group match against Northern

:11:28. > :11:33.Ireland. Quite frustrating for the guys. He was probably the

:11:34. > :11:38.Ireland. Quite frustrating for the in a close match. When is down to

:11:39. > :11:43.the last end. Not a good indicator for this game, every day is

:11:44. > :11:45.different but it is psychological. As you mentioned both teams

:11:46. > :11:50.different but it is psychological. through so an element of relaxation

:11:51. > :11:59.but always the realisation you could meet the same team again. And here

:12:00. > :12:03.they are in the final. Northern Ireland in the quarterfinals

:12:04. > :12:12.disappointed the home support beating Scotland. That was an

:12:13. > :12:23.excellent win. Very good, followed it up against the Welsh

:12:24. > :12:30.trio. They were seven points behind in that game and against the very

:12:31. > :12:34.useful Welsh trio. I thought they would do well. They are in the

:12:35. > :12:41.bronze medal play-off. And there we have it after four ends. Very

:12:42. > :13:17.cagey. Certainly is. You mentioned the comeback against

:13:18. > :13:26.Wales. Northern Ireland, the pairs were on the wrong end of a comeback

:13:27. > :13:31.with Martin McHugh and Ian McClure looking semifinal bound, leading

:13:32. > :13:40.against England but could not see it out. Just when you think something

:13:41. > :14:08.is safe and you have the momentum. It can change.

:14:09. > :14:19.He dropped a second bowl then again there. Missed a chance.

:14:20. > :14:32.This is good. APPLAUSE That is well played, good adjustment

:14:33. > :14:37.from his first bowl. Leading with two you can get one close and one

:14:38. > :14:49.past that is acceptable from the skip's point of view.

:14:50. > :14:56.He nearly got the Jack round the corner, playing well, Neil

:14:57. > :15:07.Mulholland. Started well. Both middlemen playing really good bowls.

:15:08. > :16:01.It is inside line with this. If the weight is good, it won't be too bad.

:16:02. > :16:08.It was good. Three shots. Still a good chance, here, for Neil Booth,

:16:09. > :16:13.anything on the Jack is good. He does not want to be too heavy, just

:16:14. > :16:30.enough, get it through. The Northern Ireland bowls are waiting.

:16:31. > :16:36.Really searching for this. The weight is good but it is just inside

:16:37. > :16:47.it. He will settle for the second bowl. That is a good shot. It would

:16:48. > :16:53.not have been his first tries. It looks like second. -- first choice.

:16:54. > :16:56.The wavy red bowl has come through, resting on top of the two Northern

:16:57. > :17:16.Ireland bowls, they will be waiting for it.

:17:17. > :17:49.Well underway, Bobby. -- well under with that, Bobby.

:17:50. > :17:53.Just inside it again. He needs a kick back of that but does not get

:17:54. > :18:06.it. It is a spare bowl, for Bobby

:18:07. > :18:17.Donnelly, and a chance to add another. Getting it to come in. Just

:18:18. > :18:22.running through. When we talk about the spare shop, you know your

:18:23. > :18:29.opponent has no right of reply and you have a chance to draw, to add

:18:30. > :18:37.another. Not too much danger, but just missing out on that occasion.

:18:38. > :18:43.It is very tight, isn't it? South Africa, just nudging ahead, but as

:18:44. > :18:49.yet, no one has had a chance to craft a big score. No, no

:18:50. > :18:52.opportunities. The closest was Northern Ireland on the last end but

:18:53. > :19:24.no one has had a really good chance, yet.

:19:25. > :19:36.APPLAUSE That is worth the chalk it is going

:19:37. > :19:52.to get. He has started to play quite well, this young man.

:19:53. > :19:58.We're going to leave the match on BBC Three but you can see the end of

:19:59. > :20:01.it on BBC1. It is a beautiful day in Glasgow, still on top of the

:20:02. > :20:06.Finnieston Crane and baloney, the River Clyde. The city was built

:20:07. > :20:09.around the river and the water looks warm and inviting, doesn't it? But

:20:10. > :20:14.at Tollcross, it certainly does and Helen Skelton is there for us.

:20:15. > :20:18.We are shaping up another morning of swimming after an exciting night

:20:19. > :20:21.last night, Andy and a dream come EU where the commentators and I have

:20:22. > :20:24.prized you out of the commentary box. You are worried your mum is

:20:25. > :20:29.going to tell you offer not having a shave. Completely, if she is

:20:30. > :20:32.watching this, I'm dead. I love this, multimodal winning grown up

:20:33. > :20:38.with your own family and you still came on and went, "I wonder what my

:20:39. > :20:42.mum will say". Talk us through yesterday. Erraid Davies, the

:20:43. > :20:46.13-year-old youngest member of team Scotland pages because we had no

:20:47. > :20:50.idea it was going to shape up to be so exciting. Fantastic, firstly, she

:20:51. > :20:53.was lovely in the interview and watching her body language, she is a

:20:54. > :20:59.kid in a sweet shop. She is doing the race, starts quite slowly, a bit

:21:00. > :21:02.of a crowd-pleaser, so the first lap of the 100 metres, fairly decent

:21:03. > :21:06.pace and then she just built up and built up. By the end, she did really

:21:07. > :21:07.well, qualified second, and he wondered if it was too good to be

:21:08. > :21:11.true. But she came back in the wondered if it was too good to be

:21:12. > :21:16.final, unbelievable and the crowd went utterly nuts. It was fantastic

:21:17. > :21:20.to be there. It is great to hear how excited you get because you have

:21:21. > :21:22.both been there, eight Commonwealth medals, four Commonwealth Games

:21:23. > :21:26.medals. Do you ever medals, four Commonwealth Games

:21:27. > :21:34.wrong word but blas? about what is going on? No, we don't. Simply

:21:35. > :21:36.wrong word but blas? about what is You can probably tell.

:21:37. > :21:40.wrong word but blas? about what is job but we come and watch the

:21:41. > :21:46.summing once a year and just have a lot of fun. We have

:21:47. > :21:52.summing once a year and just have a 14. Only about ten years, obviously!

:21:53. > :21:53.30! We sit with a mate and have a chat about a sport we love and see a

:21:54. > :21:55.different generation, chat about a sport we love and see a

:21:56. > :22:00.three generations since, now. chat about a sport we love and see a

:22:01. > :22:02.watching talent in sport is chat about a sport we love and see a

:22:03. > :22:04.fantastic, talented people getting it out on

:22:05. > :22:08.fantastic, talented people getting brilliant. It must be great to be

:22:09. > :22:09.fantastic, talented people getting part of it because you were involved

:22:10. > :22:13.in Edinburgh in the Commonwealth Games, and it feels like the glory

:22:14. > :22:17.days have come back. Last night was a great night in the pool and a good

:22:18. > :22:21.sign for produce winning for the future. It is wonderfully exciting

:22:22. > :22:26.to watch excellence. Being serious for a couple of seconds, I love

:22:27. > :22:30.excellence, and seeing Fran Halsall, winning the 50 free, 24.96, a time

:22:31. > :22:33.that would have won the Olympics, that would have won the World

:22:34. > :22:39.Championships, it was utterly brilliant. And then to come back on

:22:40. > :22:42.the 50 fly, she is really flat, staying lovely and flat so her

:22:43. > :22:45.energy is just going forwards rather than up and down. You tend to try to

:22:46. > :22:52.use your energy to go down to your breath but look at our flat she

:22:53. > :22:55.is. Hardly breathing at all. Again, and you Commonwealth record, to do

:22:56. > :23:02.the double, fly and free, no Commonwealth Games woman has ever

:23:03. > :23:05.done that. Is it difficult for people to appreciate how significant

:23:06. > :23:08.this is, when unfortunately, in some of the other sports, people who

:23:09. > :23:13.should be here are not here, but not in the pool, this is a world-class

:23:14. > :23:17.field. Yes, the Aussies, especially the Campbell sisters, are real

:23:18. > :23:21.threats. We have got a chance today of Ben Proud, I know we are

:23:22. > :23:27.previewing, but he has already done the 50 free and has the 50 fly,

:23:28. > :23:31.today. A great chance for him. A lot of people tune into summing during

:23:32. > :23:33.the Olympics and keep an eye on the World Championships and comeback for

:23:34. > :23:37.the Commonwealth Games. The Olympics was not great, being is changing in

:23:38. > :23:39.terms of the funding and a bit of a hangover. Are we getting rid of that

:23:40. > :23:46.now and moving out of that period? I hangover. Are we getting rid of that

:23:47. > :23:48.think we are. We have got some good youngsters coming through.

:23:49. > :23:49.Siobhan-Marie O'Connor, yesterday, we say she

:23:50. > :23:55.Siobhan-Marie O'Connor, yesterday, medal but she is only 18. She got a

:23:56. > :24:00.silver medal in the 203, and then a silver on the 100 fly, lost the race

:24:01. > :24:02.by 0.05 seconds and most people would be utterly delighted to get a

:24:03. > :24:05.silver medal but she was gutted would be utterly delighted to get a

:24:06. > :24:09.did not win it. But on the medley last night, she took on the fastest

:24:10. > :24:14.in the world and became the fastest woman in the world in the 200 medley

:24:15. > :24:19.by two seconds and won the gold. Adding together the Scots, the

:24:20. > :24:20.Welsh, English, if you put the British results together and compare

:24:21. > :24:23.Welsh, English, if you put the against Australia, because that is

:24:24. > :24:26.what happens in the World Championships and the Olympics, put

:24:27. > :24:31.it together and there are some great swimmers in there, 18-20 -year-olds

:24:32. > :24:34.who will be there for another five or six years. Talking of putting

:24:35. > :24:38.things together, can we group together the home nations medals and

:24:39. > :24:42.beat Australia? It would be close. We keep a running tally every meat

:24:43. > :24:45.and we're not quite there. What we're almost there, head to head

:24:46. > :24:51.with the Australians which is great place to be. In the 200 free relay

:24:52. > :24:55.last night, the Australians won it pretty easily but if you took the

:24:56. > :24:59.best times of the British nations, Calum Davidson of Wales, a couple of

:25:00. > :25:04.Scots and an Ingush guy, we would have won by 0.2 seconds. Australia,

:25:05. > :25:11.if you are watching... We are coming for you! Different lanes but we

:25:12. > :25:15.still beat them. You say that really impressively and then those big

:25:16. > :25:21.Australians come out. We have a table in the press room to keep them

:25:22. > :25:26.quiet. What can we expect in the pool this morning? Craig McNally in

:25:27. > :25:30.the 200 backstroke. He was at the World Championships last year, going

:25:31. > :25:33.up against the great in the semifinals and beat him and

:25:34. > :25:37.qualified fastest for the final. It did not pan out but he's got a good

:25:38. > :25:41.chance of winning the gold medal. It is the heat this morning and the

:25:42. > :25:46.finals this evening. Georgia Davies back in the pool, can she turned

:25:47. > :25:50.silver into gold? I think so. In the past, she has not swum particularly

:25:51. > :25:54.well under pressure, she sticks head up and goes too fast and does not

:25:55. > :26:00.hold in the water. You know it was a long time since we did it, right?

:26:01. > :26:09.Great technique. Things have changed! But on the 100, she was

:26:10. > :26:13.fantastic, 59.5, just stunning. Having said that, I am really

:26:14. > :26:18.looking forward to the men's 50 freestyle, getting their guns out.

:26:19. > :26:22.It is probably worth looking at and the's Twitter account to see what

:26:23. > :26:25.he's talking about. For the ladies, it is purely professional reasons

:26:26. > :26:30.that we have an interest in that race. Some of them have an

:26:31. > :26:35.incredible physique. Yet the full range of ages, so Ben Proud, having

:26:36. > :26:40.won the 50 fly, is only 19 and is a good-looking chap, nice and strong.

:26:41. > :26:48.I think you agreed this morning. And then Roland Schoeman... News also

:26:49. > :26:54.good-looking. -- he is also good-looking. He is ripped! Don't

:26:55. > :26:59.worry, you used to be in great shape. Mark Foster is still a bit

:27:00. > :27:04.like that. Get him to take his shirt off this afternoon. That makes it an

:27:05. > :27:11.entirely different show. Getting series, Ben Proud can do what Fran

:27:12. > :27:15.Halsall did. He has a chance of a double. I'm pretty excited about

:27:16. > :27:21.that. And Ollie Hind, massive name, Paralympic and world star, European

:27:22. > :27:25.style, could get the full set. That is really important. We have not had

:27:26. > :27:30.too many home nations Paralympic and is, which is a bit of a shame, but

:27:31. > :27:34.talking to Marc Woods about it, they are focusing on the Europeans. He is

:27:35. > :27:38.the Olympic and Paralympic champion, world Paralympic champion. Not many

:27:39. > :27:43.swimmers, we were trying to work it out yesterday, not many have got the

:27:44. > :27:53.full set of European, Commonwealth, world and Olympic medals. Jade

:27:54. > :27:58.Wilkie, Rebecca Adlington. I am very bitter about it because I got three

:27:59. > :28:04.and I got disqualified after winning the world title. Look at his face.

:28:05. > :28:08.Lets not talk about it any more. On that solemn note, let's go back...

:28:09. > :28:12.Thank you for joining us. No one will be getting their tops off in

:28:13. > :28:16.the commentary team but in the pool, some fantastic swimmers and

:28:17. > :28:21.fantastic figures to look out for. The gang will be here this morning.

:28:22. > :28:25.You can join us a bit later, as we get underway, kicking things off

:28:26. > :28:31.with a swim off so it is going to be exciting.

:28:32. > :28:37.We have come off the crane and we are going to the SECC now. Any idea

:28:38. > :28:43.where that might be that way? I'm sure someone will find it. It is

:28:44. > :28:47.live netball now, pool B, Barbados against Wales. Against second

:28:48. > :28:50.bottom. Let's join the commentary team. -- bottom against second

:28:51. > :29:00.bottom. COMMENTATOR: The scene is almost

:29:01. > :29:07.set. The players are just waiting for the introductions from the PA.

:29:08. > :29:10.And the music will start to build up. The atmosphere and the crowd

:29:11. > :29:15.will be asked to stand on their feet, and clapped the players.

:29:16. > :29:17.Welcome the feet, and clapped the players.

:29:18. > :29:22.Welcome athletes onto Court for the start of the first match of day

:29:23. > :29:32.five. Stand up, on your feet, Glasgow! Let's bring them onto court

:29:33. > :29:35.excavation knock -- onto court! So the atmosphere starts to build and

:29:36. > :29:41.we await the start of this game between Wales and Barbados. Let's

:29:42. > :29:44.just enjoy the atmosphere in the SECC. And we can hear the

:29:45. > :30:36.introduction of the two teams. Wales! Chelsea Lewis. Wing attack,

:32:30. > :32:33.our residents netball expert Anita. It is important for Barbados to get

:32:34. > :32:35.a good start and they do, the 16-year-old Sheniqua Thomas

:32:36. > :32:40.a good start and they do, the the opening goal. Thomas not afraid

:32:41. > :32:45.to put the ball up but I am interested to see the busy nature of

:32:46. > :32:50.Azore at interested to see the busy nature of

:32:51. > :32:56.major influence in the defence. She has a heavily strapped right wrist.

:32:57. > :33:01.Good work from Samantha Browne. Moving fluently through to the

:33:02. > :33:14.circle edge. Good retrieval by Wales. There she is, she needs all.

:33:15. > :33:20.-- Shonette Azore. Somebody stood on her wrist accidentally. Important

:33:26. > :33:30.scoring defenders in terms of interceptions, rebound. She really

:33:31. > :33:43.does moves well around the shooters and pick off the rebound. 14 rebound

:33:44. > :33:54.is already in this competition. -- rebounds. A great stat. As a

:33:55. > :33:59.spectacle it will be much more gripping if these sides stay within

:34:00. > :34:08.a couple of goals in the first quarter. They need to use Sheniqua

:34:09. > :34:13.Thomas at goal attack a bit more, Sheniqua Thomas held onto it too

:34:34. > :34:40.Games she is playing against the likes of Australia and South Africa

:34:41. > :34:48.just one game, superb percentages. I think that was almost two Welsh

:34:49. > :34:54.players there, Nia Jones and Prichard. Collision between

:34:55. > :34:55.players there, Nia Jones and and Jones. The ball was up there

:34:56. > :35:04.everyone to take. Actually Barbados did not need to do too much. Right

:35:05. > :35:26.elbow to the chain of Prichard. -- did not need to do too much. Right

:35:27. > :35:31.chin. And gets to work. -- Adam gets to work. Prichard of the oldest

:35:32. > :35:37.player, phenomenal falls in Superleague, taking a break for

:35:38. > :35:40.international duty but returned for this campaign for the Commonwealth

:35:41. > :35:48.Games. Couple of injuries from defence for Wales in the build-up,

:35:49. > :35:54.Stefanie Williams, Sara Hale and Prichard finds herself in the

:35:55. > :35:56.squad. Really a driving force for the Welsh defensive unit. She has

:35:57. > :36:04.been having difficulties with her knees, numerous time-outs in

:36:05. > :36:09.matches. Sam I am sure are real issues, others I am sure going down

:36:10. > :36:16.to try to take the sting out of the game. I was talking to Catherine

:36:17. > :36:19.Harvey Williams, about whether or not netball should introduce

:36:20. > :36:30.time-outs into the game to get away from the cynical time-out. I will

:36:31. > :36:36.get your views on that in a second. It is level. Probably something that

:36:37. > :36:41.game will look to do. There are tactical time-outs for sure. Not

:36:42. > :36:45.defined in the rules. Certainly they are taken at convenient points in

:36:46. > :36:53.the game, so it just makes sense. A good pick-up by Nayar Jones -- Nia

:36:54. > :36:58.Jones. Putting lots of pressure on around the circle, Nia Jones. She is

:36:59. > :37:01.a strength for Wales. This is where Prichard is of great value,

:37:02. > :37:07.communicating strongly, opening up the court. The first goal against

:37:08. > :37:20.centre pass? Lewis cannot make it stick. Azore gets the last touch so

:37:21. > :37:28.Moseley will inbound. Lewis has had a good confidence start. Moseley

:37:29. > :37:41.backs that up with this as well and Azore mops up. It is not a goal

:37:42. > :37:46.against centre pass. You can see Laurel Browne heavily strapped right

:37:47. > :37:55.leg. Three intense games in three days. Surely that will take its toll

:37:56. > :37:58.on Barbados. Search a talented set of individuals. When they play with

:37:59. > :38:04.some structure in attack and defence it is incredible what they can do. I

:38:05. > :38:09.am sure with just some work over the next year particularly with Sheniqua

:38:10. > :38:15.Thomas, this certainly will be a force on the world stage. It is busy

:38:16. > :38:17.and congested in the circle for Wales and Lewis, credit to her,

:38:18. > :38:31.managed to move around Azore. A good take from Niles, it was

:38:32. > :38:42.behind her. Drane has been penalised. Jeneice Clarke just

:38:43. > :38:45.pitched herself way back there to the circle, leaving Sheniqua Thomas

:38:46. > :38:51.to do a little bit more work than you would expect for a goal attack.

:38:52. > :38:59.She is coming very deep, almost to the centre circle to pick up the

:39:00. > :39:08.ball. Thomas, then, her first shot at goal. Rebound to Wales. Second

:39:09. > :39:17.opportunity for Wales to take the lead against the centre pass. Thomas

:39:18. > :39:22.holding her right shin. She will get a time-outs. In fact it is the calf

:39:23. > :39:47.I think she is going for now. I think that his sweat, not sure

:39:48. > :39:52.those are tears. I am not surprised, she has been working incredibly

:39:53. > :39:56.hard, almost covered Wing attack. Jeneice Clarke and Centre for

:39:57. > :40:03.Barbados just caught to fire back in the pocket. Really does need to pull

:40:04. > :40:12.out. Just a challenge with Prichard, as that's long ball came

:40:13. > :40:14.through. -- Pritchard. It is the right leg that is getting some

:40:15. > :40:30.attention. Not sure Nikita Piggott will be too

:40:31. > :40:34.keen to take to the court after the injury, she was helped from the

:40:35. > :40:38.court against Australia yesterday. She could not walk from the court.

:40:39. > :40:43.APPLAUSE Not sure whether she will play a

:40:44. > :40:47.part today. Piggott was definitely struggling in the warm up at the

:40:48. > :40:51.start of this game so I am sure this is the combination Barbados will not

:40:52. > :40:56.want to alter much. There are some mid-court players that might offer

:40:57. > :41:01.some relief but that is a better start from Chelsea Lewis after the

:41:02. > :41:06.time-out. Wales with the lead for the first time and an opportunity to

:41:07. > :41:09.get some daylight between themselves and Barbados but Drane cannot keep

:41:10. > :41:18.it in play. I think she feels the last touch was of Rock. Gary Burgess

:41:19. > :41:25.does not agree. That has to be close to three seconds. It has been blown

:41:26. > :41:31.by Sharon Kelly on this nearside. Similar error from Jeneice Clarke,

:41:32. > :41:39.when the player is on the front she needs to deliver the ball. Just to

:41:40. > :41:42.open up the court. It is having the belief in your ability and your

:41:43. > :41:53.team-mates ability to collect at this level. The opportunity to pass

:41:54. > :41:59.is only there for a split second. Wales retained possession, they lead

:42:00. > :42:06.by two. Can they apply the pressure and turn possession over once again?

:42:07. > :42:12.Better work from Samantha Browne. Good movement through from Sheniqua

:42:13. > :42:20.Thomas. That opens up for that ball into Browne.

:42:21. > :42:29.Laurel Browne came into this game shooting at 88%. She is four from

:42:30. > :42:34.four so far. She has had a good tournament but has not had enough

:42:35. > :42:43.opportunities. Only 46 attempts now in three and a big games. Great ball

:42:44. > :42:46.into space from Suzie Drane. Kept in by Lewis. Not afraid to look to the

:42:47. > :42:51.back shooter, Suzie Drane. She by Lewis. Not afraid to look to the

:42:52. > :43:00.really sees both shooters even in the congested circle. Moseley once

:43:01. > :43:04.more. Good three over the line from Wales, stopping the forward centre

:43:05. > :43:09.pass but great recovery from Samantha Browne. Linking well with

:43:10. > :43:21.Thomas on the goal attack for Barbados.

:43:22. > :43:34.Lovely pass. From Pritchard on the move. If Barbados can just put some

:43:35. > :43:39.pressure on in the mid-court area on defence I am sure they would come up

:43:40. > :43:44.with more ball. It is free flow through two thirds for Wales. It is

:43:45. > :43:46.a lead of three and possibly four depending on this possession. Good

:43:47. > :43:58.switch of leas depending on this possession. Good

:43:59. > :44:02.Lewis. -- Barbados managed to keep it tight for the first half of the

:44:03. > :44:18.first quarter but Wales now pulling away. Timeout called for Kyra Jones.

:44:19. > :44:31.That is an umpire 's time-outs. Potentially a cut needing to be

:44:32. > :44:37.covered. On her left wrist. Kyra Jones, formerly Kyra Neill, came

:44:38. > :44:47.over from Australia to play for the Celtic Dragons in the Superleague.

:44:48. > :44:48.As the name would suggest, her married name would suggest, she is

:44:49. > :45:09.now married to a local man. Laura Williams, I am sure she will

:45:10. > :45:23.be happier now that they have a 3-goal lead. Knowing, nodding smile.

:45:24. > :45:26.be happier now that they have a it seemed like there was an awful

:45:27. > :45:34.lot of Vaseline on her wrist. That will make the ball all fully

:45:35. > :45:39.tactile. -- awfully tactile. Lewis, that is the thing with her, she has

:45:40. > :45:46.those moments when she does not get the shots that she really should,

:45:47. > :45:48.unopposed, there. It is just about the shooting routine, setting for

:45:49. > :45:52.the shot the shooting routine, setting for

:45:53. > :45:58.consistent. At times, she rushes, changes her release point. Prichard

:45:59. > :46:05.does well. Sitting down, taking a bit of a break, entertaining the

:46:06. > :46:07.crowd. Almost gets caught out of position and realises that actually,

:46:08. > :46:11.she should probably get back on the court because it was not a penalty.

:46:12. > :46:18.Had it been a penalty parcel shot, she would have had the time. Thinks

:46:19. > :46:23.about it, and the smile from Laurel Browne. The full tour of the ring

:46:24. > :46:25.before it drops. If Prichard had stayed off court and Barbados had

:46:26. > :46:29.taken the stayed off court and Barbados had

:46:30. > :46:31.been a foul throw, and a throw into Wales, so that is a tricky one. You

:46:32. > :46:35.have do have Wales, so that is a tricky one. You

:46:36. > :46:39.board. Though she did have the time to sit there. But she realised and

:46:40. > :46:45.got herself back on otherwise the umpire may not have been too happy.

:46:46. > :46:51.Good pressure by Shonette Azore again, but just finding herself

:46:52. > :46:54.behind. She needs to keep moving on Lewis. And the ball into space is

:46:55. > :47:01.much easier with Shonette Azore which is behind. -- pitched kind.

:47:02. > :47:03.When she is busy and moving around, moving sides of the shooter, she is

:47:04. > :47:20.coming out with more possession. Doing a great job, there, stopping

:47:21. > :47:26.the movement. There she goes. That is a lovely shot from the

:47:27. > :47:32.youngster. They have just steadied the ship, Barbados.

:47:33. > :47:43.Wales have a four goal advantage, or a two centre pass advantage, if you

:47:44. > :47:45.like. That was unlucky from Morgan. Trying to get in front of Laurel

:47:46. > :47:57.Browne. Better pressure from Rhe-Ann Niles,

:47:58. > :48:05.keeping Moseley out of play at the second phase of the centre pass.

:48:06. > :48:13.Almost turnover ball. Just a replay, to give Wales the free pass.

:48:14. > :48:24.Moseley, missing from distance. And a chance for Barbados to get one of

:48:25. > :48:29.the two centre passes back. Better structure, Jeneice Clarke, playing

:48:30. > :48:33.the role through the mid-court. Barbados play better when they are

:48:34. > :48:38.structured. When they get behind and they get tired, they lose all sense

:48:39. > :48:41.of structure and it becomes very scrappy. But they have passed up the

:48:42. > :48:49.opportunity to get a centre pass back on this occasion. That was

:48:50. > :48:57.close. They will get another chance, Barbados. Good cover by Morgan, the

:48:58. > :49:03.Welsh goalkeeper. Just forcing them of the circle edge, Wales, a good

:49:04. > :49:04.trio in defence, with Jones, Prichard, and Nia Jones at wing

:49:05. > :49:18.defence. -- Billy Pritchard. Barbados really need to finish this

:49:19. > :49:25.quarter strongly, otherwise the game could slip away from them. They have

:49:26. > :49:31.had two opportunities to get one of the centre passes back and passed

:49:32. > :49:35.them up. Yes, it is just about consistency through the court, not

:49:36. > :49:41.taking the risks, just playing the ball and being patient in the

:49:42. > :49:42.attacking third, for Barbados. Such talent in the side. It is just the

:49:43. > :49:56.structure that they need. The ball carrier just sees the wall

:49:57. > :50:04.of red for Wales. Forcing the error, by the pressure outside the

:50:05. > :50:09.circle. So, a chance, here, for Wales to get another goal against

:50:10. > :50:13.the centre pass. And they could have... Now varies a collision.

:50:14. > :50:22.Rhe-Ann Niles on Suzie Drane with Shanice Rock in error as well. -- in

:50:23. > :50:29.there as well. I think they want the floor mopping. That is what the

:50:30. > :50:35.umpires are waiting for. Suzie Drane takes it upon herself. Just giving

:50:36. > :50:49.the floor a good polish, there. Just trying to recover that, Kyra

:50:50. > :50:50.Jones but again, a good pick-up by Rhe-Ann Niles and a better

:50:51. > :50:56.transition through the court for Barbados. This is their centre pass

:50:57. > :50:59.and they need to take it through to goal if they can as we enter the

:51:00. > :51:05.final minute. That is a force pass towards Sheniqua Thomas which Kyra

:51:06. > :51:12.Jones intercepts but the whistle had orally blown. Thomas, over the top.

:51:13. > :51:15.-- had already blown. That is some take on the right hand by Laurel

:51:16. > :51:22.Browne but she has missed a rather straightforward attempt on goal.

:51:23. > :51:30.Full extension but no rhythm to the shot. Very stiff in her body

:51:31. > :51:37.position. Shonette Azore vary again. -- Jeanette is all, there again.

:51:38. > :51:43.Good cover on the back by Shonette Azore on Lewis. But you can see the

:51:44. > :51:50.contest between the two, better movement by Shonette Azore. In the

:51:51. > :51:56.end, she was penalised, and Wales have a chance to get the last goal

:51:57. > :52:03.of the quarter. Lewis has missed. Well, that is the end of the first

:52:04. > :52:08.quarter. Keenly contested. Barbados had a chance at the end to get back

:52:09. > :52:12.into the contest, certainly, closer to Wales and Wales had a chance to

:52:13. > :52:20.pull further away. Neither side took their opportunities.

:52:21. > :52:30.So, let's have a look at the stats behind the school. -- score. The

:52:31. > :52:37.shooting attempts for Wales, increasing in tally compare to

:52:38. > :52:40.Barbados. Shooting percentages, it is interesting, Wales will be

:52:41. > :52:45.looking to up that but some good service from Jones and Suzie Drane

:52:46. > :52:50.to the shooters. Defensively, you can start to see, it is interesting,

:52:51. > :52:57.still some errors in the Welsh play as well as Barbados, but individual

:52:58. > :53:03.on forced errors for Barbados. -- on forced errors. Let's look at the

:53:04. > :53:08.highlights from the first quarter. Great start by Barbados. Shonette

:53:09. > :53:12.Azore very busy, creating congestion in the circle and some good work

:53:13. > :53:17.using the width of the court for Barbados, getting the ball through

:53:18. > :53:21.to Laurel Browne. Moseley, just gaping wide in the circle, not

:53:22. > :53:26.afraid to take a long shot. -- keeping wide. But this is where it

:53:27. > :53:36.starts, and Barbados just a little shaky, and missing the shots under

:53:37. > :53:43.the posts. So, let's see what is being said. She will do the job at

:53:44. > :53:52.wing attack. You can do the job at wing defence. Focus on that. Goal

:53:53. > :53:54.attack needs to challenge. Really put the pressure on the shot. Good

:53:55. > :54:09.from you. Rest up. Go again. So, not everybody is on the bench

:54:10. > :54:15.for Barbados. There is shooters are out, having a go. Latonia Blackman

:54:16. > :54:18.is shooting. She usually plays at the back of the court but maybe she

:54:19. > :54:21.will make an appearance at the far end.

:54:22. > :54:28.A couple of changes to tell you about for Wales. Suzie Drane has

:54:29. > :54:33.moved from wing attack to centre. Bethan Dyke has come in at wing

:54:34. > :54:40.attack. And Kyra Jones has dropped to wing defence. Nia Jones, dropping

:54:41. > :54:48.into the circle, two gold events. Ursula Pritchard is having a rest.

:54:49. > :54:57.-- to gold events. There is Suzie Drane. -- goal defence.

:54:58. > :55:13.Everything seems Barbados. Certainly, Prichard.

:55:14. > :55:15.Everything seems with her legs. Good to see Nia Jones

:55:16. > :55:20.in the gold events position. She with her legs. Good to see Nia Jones

:55:21. > :55:24.a worker. She denies an awful lot of space. It is the space that Sheniqua

:55:25. > :55:36.Thomas is getting that could be a potential threat to Wales. Thomas,

:55:37. > :55:39.two Samantha Browne. Jeneice Clarke. Sheniqua Thomas spends a lot of time

:55:40. > :55:44.out of the circle which makes the Welsh defence that much easier, only

:55:45. > :55:53.having to deal with one inside the shooting circle. Laurel Browne seems

:55:54. > :55:57.to be telling Sheniqua Thomas to go out on the circle, creating a

:55:58. > :56:00.one-on-one situation but the defence is coping well. Barbados need to mix

:56:01. > :56:08.it up. We are seeing flashes of brilliance. So Barbados to get the

:56:09. > :56:12.opening goal of the second quarter. The opportunity to make it a 2-goal

:56:13. > :56:19.game. Good support by Rhe-Ann Niles, finding Laurel Browne. Now, she

:56:20. > :56:24.missed one from almost this exact spot at the end of the first

:56:25. > :56:27.quarter. This time, she gets it. Barbados back to within two and they

:56:28. > :56:31.have one of their centre passes back. She is incredibly high on the

:56:32. > :56:36.balls off her feet before she has even prepared for the shot, Laurel

:56:37. > :56:42.Browne. Some adjustment on that technique. Mosley has missed and

:56:43. > :56:49.Rhe-Ann Niles picked up the rebound. This is a good start for Barbados.

:56:50. > :56:51.Rhe-Ann Niles picked up the rebound. Wales need to get back in the zone

:56:52. > :56:55.and now the opportunity to get a five goal advantage at the end of

:56:56. > :56:59.the first quarter becomes all that -- that much more important. Good

:57:00. > :57:05.the first quarter becomes all that work by Barbados, keeping the width

:57:06. > :57:08.on the court. Just with Laurel Browne's shooting action, if we get

:57:09. > :57:10.on the court. Just with Laurel a chance to see... Very high on her

:57:11. > :57:13.toes. That was a chance to see... Very high on her

:57:14. > :57:21.was a Barbados centre pass. a chance to see... Very high on her

:57:22. > :57:29.Barbados centre pass, next. Oh, that is a harsh call against Laurel

:57:30. > :57:35.Browne. It just hit her right hand. Samantha Browne is limping around.

:57:36. > :57:40.Shinnie get on is trying to bring the umpire's attention to the fact

:57:41. > :57:44.their wing attack is injured. A good fake by Bethan Dyke, and she

:57:45. > :57:49.distributed the ball well through to Lewis but a contact call gives Cara

:57:50. > :57:54.Lea Moseley the chance. Which she takes. Wales back up to a 3-goal

:57:55. > :57:59.lead. Barbados with a missed opportunity. It is good to see that

:58:00. > :58:00.we have not had another time-out and Samantha Browne has run off that

:58:01. > :58:17.injury. Here she is. Rock. Laurel Browne comes back out. Via

:58:18. > :58:23.Samantha Browne, a good feed into the space at the back. Yes, Nia

:58:24. > :58:26.Jones was just caught with their head down. Laurel Browne, very quick

:58:27. > :58:34.to see the space with the goal-line run.

:58:35. > :58:40.Clark, penalised for the challenge on Suzie Drane. She has certainly

:58:41. > :58:53.tightened up the defence, coming through the court.

:59:02. > :59:07.Ursula Pritchard is on the exercise bike. Space for Laurel Browne but

:59:08. > :59:12.that is not on. Samantha Browne, trying to find Laurel Browne. It is

:59:13. > :59:19.a low release point from Samantha Browne. Just not placed well enough

:59:20. > :59:24.for Laurel Browne. Better defence by Barbados. Yes, good positioning by

:59:25. > :59:29.Rhe-Ann Niles. She read it well. She could see that she was hunting...

:59:30. > :59:35.Oh, two people running into the same space.

:59:36. > :59:47.Again, another opportunity for Barbados, not taken. Good movement

:59:48. > :59:54.through the top of the circle by Cara Lea Moseley. Coming back out to

:59:55. > :00:15.the transverse line, Suzie Drane. need to force it. Rhe-Ann Niles

:00:36. > :00:45.restored and an opportunity to make it five for the first time. Good

:00:46. > :00:51.ball from Suzie Drane. It would have been easy to look for Lewis but she

:00:52. > :00:58.just sees the crafty movement of Moseley entering the circle. Good

:00:59. > :01:08.pressure in the middle channel from Wales. Clarke. Managed to find

:01:09. > :01:22.Browne but Morgan came up to punch it away, illegally, says Gary

:01:23. > :01:24.Burgess. Thomas the Browne. Browne makes it a four goal game once

:01:25. > :01:47.again. Like Chelsea Lewis penalised. They need

:01:48. > :01:51.player movement off the ball, Barbados, one player to pull the

:01:52. > :01:55.defence of the other one to move into mid-court. Clarke is on the

:01:56. > :02:19.ground. Important shot. Back to three.

:02:20. > :02:29.Centre pass to Barbados. Another really important passage of play for

:02:30. > :02:36.the Caribbean islanders. This is the best game we have seen Barbados play

:02:37. > :02:43.by a long stretch. Clarke working hard, starting the pull some width

:02:44. > :02:51.on the cord and use that ball side position. Better played by Barbados.

:02:52. > :03:13.Clever feed by Browne and it is Sheniqua Thomas again. Bajan flag

:03:14. > :03:16.waving high in the stands. That has worked three times now, Moseley

:03:17. > 2:15:54staying wide. Lucky. Good movement from Chelsea Lewis,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54she recovered well. She was caught behind Azore, switched her footwork,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54got herself in front. Clarke taking the ball that was the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Browne but that is good work again, having a great game and goal

2:15:55 > 2:15:54defence. Superb ball through to Sheniqua Thomas. Well played,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Rhe-Ann Niles, for Barbados. And I think Sheniqua Thomas losing your

2:15:55 > 2:15:54hair band which is why there is a pause in play at the moment. -- they

2:15:55 > 2:15:54hairband. We continue, just under six minutes

2:15:55 > 2:15:54remaining in the half, this is a close one. Having disposed of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Trinidad and Tobago fairly easily I think Wales might have thought this

2:15:55 > 2:15:54one would be slightly easier with Trinidad and Tobago beating

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Barbados. But it has not been so far. They are being made to work.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Yes. There you go. Nayar Jones with a great interception. Telegraph

2:15:55 > 2:15:54ball, Jones will take all of those in wing defence or goal defence as

2:15:55 > 2:15:54she is now. That is what she has trained to do through those

2:15:55 > 2:15:54positions. Bethan Dyke on the edge of the circle to Lewis. Important

2:15:55 > 2:15:54shot. The youngster has missed it. Good boxing out by Azore for

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Barbados. Patiently building up. This is where they get stuck.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Thought she was going to get blown for three seconds. Slowed to move

2:15:55 > 2:15:54from the defensive third. Fortunately for Wales, Cara Lea

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Moseley has got the radar zoned in. Lewis just a little bit out at the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54moment. Body language from Lewis a little bit negative at the moment.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Yes, it is tough in there. Shonette Azore, impressive goalkeeper. That

2:15:55 > 2:15:54is the problem for Barbados, it is about where the players track to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54from that defence. Yes, but unlikely, Rhe-Ann Niles, shoulders

2:15:55 > 2:15:54dripped when she saw the pass fell to Moseley. Good recovery from

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Lewis, that is better from Chelsea Lewis. -- drooped. It has just

2:15:55 > 2:15:54suddenly happen for Barbados, struggling to get it out of the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54defensive third. Azore turning the ball over but it is about transition

2:15:55 > 2:15:54into the mid-court. They need to keep their wits but use a lot of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54preliminary movement. Having gone so close for almost a half, the final

2:15:55 > 2:15:54four minutes of the second quarter could be their undoing in this

2:15:55 > 2:15:54match. Unlucky. From Niles once again. Lewis have added the link but

2:15:55 > 2:15:54it does not matter, six goal lead. Timeout, Niles I think? Azore? Both

2:15:55 > 2:15:54of them don't look great. As all will be receiving treatment. Wales

2:15:55 > 2:15:54will breathe a sigh of relief that they have just opened up their

2:15:55 > 2:15:54largest gap on Barbados. It is the wrist, where she was stepped up on.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54She has been a real strength for Barbados. Just driving out of the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54circle for the intercept. Getting in a good strong position on the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54rebound but some great delivery from the bag on her an attack as well.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54rebound but some great delivery from And quick to TrackBack and cover

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Chelsea Lewis, the goal And quick to TrackBack and cover

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Wales, even when she is And quick to TrackBack and cover

2:15:55 > 2:15:54fit to continue for Barbados. It has been hard work for Wales so far. An

2:15:55 > 2:15:54opportunity to go up by seven, but still plenty of time to inflict

2:15:55 > 2:15:54lasting damage on the Bajan in this first half. A two-minute break for

2:15:55 > 2:15:54this injury time-out. Sharon Kelly blows the whistle on the injury

2:15:55 > 2:15:54time-out. Azore can continue. Jones. Nia Jones the Kyra Jones and

2:15:55 > 2:15:54back to Nia Jones. Penalty against Clarke. Drane. Bethan Dyke on the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54edge of the circle, feeding Lewis. That is a really good jump from

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Azore. Now they get it out of the defensive third. Just that first

2:15:55 > 2:15:54pass out of defence that is a problem for Barbados. Pressure on

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Laurel Browne, needed to go in. A bad mess. Kyra Jones, Nia Jones,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54lovely ball. She is an incredible force, Shonette Azore, reads the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54ball coming through the court. You can see how she repositions. But

2:15:55 > 2:15:54this is the crucial phase for Barbados. Nowhere to go. Right on

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the edge. Trying to keep it alive. Really difficult for Barbados,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54they'll have to take the shot at some stage, they are not any closer.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54But they are now courtesy of the foul. We enter the final 90 seconds

2:15:55 > 2:15:54of the first half and it Barbados can put this one away it will be a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54level second quarter. Good patients from Rock on wing defence. Thomas

2:15:55 > 2:15:54rushed the shot that it was a good one. 9-9 in this quarter. Moseley

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the Bethan Dyke. Keeping the ball on the same side, Wales, straight-line

2:15:55 > 2:15:54ball through to Moseley. Moseley makes the shot. That is her

2:15:55 > 2:15:54favourite spot in the circle. This is crucial. Was not the nicest of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54passes to Niles but she does well. Clarke does really well to pick that

2:15:55 > 2:15:54up because she saw it at the very last minute out of her peripheral

2:15:55 > 2:15:54vision. Good work at the back from Morgan. Sheniqua Thomas just a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54little bit disappointed she did not come out with the ball again. Again

2:15:55 > 2:15:54she is on the front position, just the Barbados players wanting to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54force the ball across. Is all got a clash on the head. On the mouth, by

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the looks of things. -- Azore. A coming together with Moseley. She

2:15:55 > 2:15:54will need to leave the court as well, her second time-out. Barbados

2:15:55 > 2:15:54aware of this, Blackman coming on now. The Barbados captain. There is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54only ten seconds until half-time, let's see if we can see what

2:15:55 > 2:15:54happened. It was a head-butt, accidental of course. But it looks

2:15:55 > 2:15:54like it was Cara Lea Moseley. She is going to have ten minutes and ten

2:15:55 > 2:15:54seconds to recover from this, possibly a little bit more because

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the clock is currently stopped. She is having a chat. To Armin

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Harper, primary carer for Barbados. Anna Shepherd is there as well. Just

2:15:55 > 2:15:54seeing if they can move fell off the side of the court to continue. -- if

2:15:55 > 2:15:54they can move her. Often caution with an umpire particularly when

2:15:55 > 2:15:54players taken a blow to the head. APPLAUSE

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Extra time off and taken in that situation. Just as a precaution.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Obviously she has taken a blow there to the side of the face. APPLAUSE

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Let's hope she's OK to continue after the half-time break. Let's

2:15:55 > 2:15:54hope it is not as serious those pictures look. Clarke. In two Niles,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54they have to move this quickly, they will run out of time. WHISTLE

2:15:55 > 2:15:54They have run out of time. And really close second quarter, Wales

2:15:55 > 2:15:54winning by one macro, Barbados still really in this game, just five

2:15:55 > 2:15:54points separate them. At half-time. At half-time Wales must be feeling

2:15:55 > 2:15:54pretty confident, we will be bad with the second half live but now we

2:15:55 > 2:15:54will carry on with another story from netball. Malawi are a country

2:15:55 > 2:15:54with many historical links to Glasgow and also happens big the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54fifth best netball team in the world. Lee McKenzie went off to meet

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the Queen the Queens. In Malawi netball the second only to football

2:15:55 > 2:15:54in popularity. Every young girl dreams of being good enough to play

2:15:55 > 2:15:54in this team. They have never won a Commonwealth Games medal before but

2:15:55 > 2:15:54they are ranked fifth in the world, so is this the year where these

2:15:55 > 2:15:54girls could challenge for bronze, silver or even gold? I must be very

2:15:55 > 2:15:54open, today. We have been warmly welcomed by the Scottish people,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54here in Glasgow and at the village. These welcome bars -- please welcome

2:15:55 > 2:15:54a lovely! Some of the names of the roads, of the buildings in Malawi

2:15:55 > 2:15:54are named after some places in Scotland. It means a lot to Malawi

2:15:55 > 2:15:54because this team put us on the map. In 1995, when we first came to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the World Championships, it was in Birmingham. It was our first. When

2:15:55 > 2:15:54we arrived, we saw that things were changing, there were almost two

2:15:55 > 2:15:54teams, and Malawi made it up to the eight. From that time, it was the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54dedication of the coaches and the players, that we should improve so

2:15:55 > 2:15:54we could be on top of the world. Most of them are not as tall as

2:15:55 > 2:15:54other players that we see across the world. It is a game that requires

2:15:55 > 2:15:54some girls to be tall enough so they can play an easy game. But my belief

2:15:55 > 2:15:54is the team will do it, the team will make it, the team will deliver.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54You are an international sports star, now. Yes! It feels so good,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54especially when people at home watching you playing outside Malawi.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54People back home watch these games. I think they will be proud of us. We

2:15:55 > 2:15:54are born Malawians. Our cultural stead detained people. -- culture is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54to entertain people. But we have to work as well as entertain. You will

2:15:55 > 2:15:54see that on the court when the game starts. I'm delighted to say that I

2:15:55 > 2:15:54have been joined live by the world champion, Olympic champion and

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Commonwealth champion Joanna Rowsell. Congratulations. Getting

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the 3000 metres individual busy, you must be rabies reveals. Young thank

2:15:55 > 2:15:54you, over the moon, I got the Commonwealth Games record as well

2:15:55 > 2:15:54which is brilliant. I can't believe I pulled it off. It is great to hold

2:15:55 > 2:15:54those titles all in one go. It is extraordinary, the quality of the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54cyclists in the women's team, for Great Britain and England as well.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54It is amazing. Because we are split up into England, Scotland and Wales

2:15:55 > 2:15:54here, everyone can compete. You can have nine UK riders. There is great

2:15:55 > 2:15:54strength in depth in the competition. Women's Injera track

2:15:55 > 2:15:54cycling, the strongest nations in the world other than Great Britain

2:15:55 > 2:15:54are Australia, New Zealand and Canada. They are the top girls may

2:15:55 > 2:15:54have been here. It has been a tough competition and I'm over the moon to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54come out on top. Winning the Commonwealth Games, clearly you do

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the World Championships every year and this is only every four years.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54As you say, all the top nations are here so it must be brave special.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Exactly, for me it is a special event, something I grew up watching

2:15:55 > 2:15:54and direct it up there with the Libby games. -- I rate it up there

2:15:55 > 2:15:54with the Olympic Games. In the UK, it can come out only once in your

2:15:55 > 2:15:54career. I missed out on the last Commonwealth Games because I had by

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Jill Aviva and four years before that I was only 17. This is my first

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Commonwealth Games and I came here wanting the gold medal, being the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54world Champion, I was in the last heat and I was the favourite and I

2:15:55 > 2:15:54wanted the title and I'm so happy I've got it. The crowd at the Sir

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Chris Hoy Velodrome are knowledgeable and of course they are

2:15:55 > 2:15:54going to Stroud. This riders but I heard a lot of support for you as

2:15:55 > 2:15:54well. Yes, the support was brilliant. Before I came, people

2:15:55 > 2:15:54asked me if I would get any support and I said I hoped so. They are good

2:15:55 > 2:15:54for all the home nations. The velodrome is great because it is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54relatively small, with velodrome is great because it is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54own. I can't see the person I'm racing against.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54own. I can't see the person I'm better. I love it. Let's talk a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54own. I can't see the person I'm about the team. Team

2:15:55 > 2:15:54own. I can't see the person I'm champions in the team pursuit as

2:15:55 > 2:15:54well. You had Katie Archibald as well in that team, and you got the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54well. You had Katie Archibald as world title and the world record,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54and Elinor Barker missed out on the police in the team event. It shows

2:15:55 > 2:15:54you the strength in depth of young riders coming through. Definitely,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54it was me, Laura Trott and Dani King who won the gold at the team pursuit

2:15:55 > 2:15:54but since then, everyone wants to be in the team and everybody wants the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54same for Rio. It is a popular squad to try to get into. And the event is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54now for riders with four kilometres so we have an extra spot available.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54About six of us are based in Manchester now, training together,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54and then there's another five or six in Wales, the Academy squad, the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54younger riders, like 17-19 -year-olds. There's a lot of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54competition to get in the squad so I have my work cut out to keep my

2:15:55 > 2:15:54place for Rio. I'm still working hard and I'm on the right track at

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the moment. When you look at the younger riders, do you -- are you

2:15:55 > 2:15:54pleased their strength in depth, or are you worried about your place?

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Taylor they are probably better than I was at that age. I only started

2:15:55 > 2:15:54racing properly at 16 so I will still finding my way when I was 18

2:15:55 > 2:15:54or 19, working out what I was best at. There are 18 and 19-year-olds

2:15:55 > 2:15:54who are junior world champions are ready, snapping at our heels. It

2:15:55 > 2:15:54worries me a bit but I think that makes the team better, having the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54pressure from beneath. It always makes the top riders push a bit

2:15:55 > 2:15:54harder in training and you always have the selection battle. Whenever

2:15:55 > 2:15:54we race in the team pursuit, we take a reserve rider. We never know until

2:15:55 > 2:15:54an hour before whether we will be in the team so it keeps everyone on

2:15:55 > 2:15:54their toes until the last minute. British cycling has had a purple

2:15:55 > 2:15:54patch but such a long time now. Can it really continue? Australia, New

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Zealand and Canada, as you mentioned, will be looking at how

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Team GB and England are doing. They will be getting programmes together.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Can the dominance that you guys seem to have continue? I hope so.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Everyone is out to beat us. The team were dominant in Beijing and it was

2:15:55 > 2:15:54great to watch and everyone said we could not do it again in London but

2:15:55 > 2:15:54we did. In a four-year cycle, you will have peaks and troughs. Every

2:15:55 > 2:15:54time someone does not win something, everyone is quick to say that the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Aussies are back or whatever but we can get it right again for Rio. We

2:15:55 > 2:15:54have a lot of experience of getting the four-year cycle right. We have

2:15:55 > 2:15:54made improvements from the World Championships in February,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54especially the men. Everyone is going in the right direction.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Bradley Wiggins is back for the team pursuit who is great to have around

2:15:55 > 2:15:54just for his character but he's a really strong rider as well. I think

2:15:55 > 2:15:54we are going to get it right again. Absolutely. Dave Brailsford is away

2:15:55 > 2:15:54from the track cycling programme, focusing on the road race and Team

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Sky. Is there a real loss that he is no longer around? Does he still

2:15:55 > 2:15:54played his nose in now and again? Telly-macro there is a loss because

2:15:55 > 2:15:54he was such a great leader and we had success under him but he pokes

2:15:55 > 2:15:54his nose in occasionally. Team Sky are still based in Manchester. It is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54always good to see him around. But a lot of people have learned a lot and

2:15:55 > 2:15:54he has led the team for Beijing and London and we still have the same

2:15:55 > 2:15:54core staff. If he is not there every day, we still have the best staff in

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the world supporting us. Tell me about your plans. When you started

2:15:55 > 2:15:54cycling, a lot of people suggested you were not the right shape, not

2:15:55 > 2:15:54good enough, not putting in the Times, finishing last in your first

2:15:55 > 2:15:54race. I read a lot about how you were motivated to prove people

2:15:55 > 2:15:54wrong. What keeps you going? You are breaking records and winning

2:15:55 > 2:15:54championships all the time. I was talent spotted when I was 15, told I

2:15:55 > 2:15:54had really good power output on a static bike but I had no skill

2:15:55 > 2:15:54whatsoever in actually riding a bike. I was completely freaked out

2:15:55 > 2:15:54when I heard the bikes had no brakes. I did not know how to do it.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54I think people thought that although I was powerful, I had no idea of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54tactics to anything. My first race was a BMX which was terrifying in

2:15:55 > 2:15:54itself because it was not my cup of tea. I have always been out to prove

2:15:55 > 2:15:54people wrong and show what I can do. It is not always easy. When I tell

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the story about being talent spotted at 15, everyone thinks the rest is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54history but it has aways been a battle. It has never been easy but

2:15:55 > 2:15:54it is a journey I have really enjoyed as well. Obviously, when you

2:15:55 > 2:15:54got into the team, Victoria Pendleton was around, and some

2:15:55 > 2:15:54really experienced people like Sir Chris Hoy and Craig MacLean who is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54still around. You probably looked up to them and aspire to that. Now

2:15:55 > 2:15:54everyone is looking up to you and aspiring to your success. Is it

2:15:55 > 2:15:54something you were comfortable? It is strange because I'm 25 but I am

2:15:55 > 2:15:54one of the oldest on the squad, the oldest in the women's squad. Thank

2:15:55 > 2:15:54goodness Bradley is back on his putting the average age is up. But I

2:15:55 > 2:15:54am the oldest women's rider now which is a bit strange. The other

2:15:55 > 2:15:54people look up to me because I used to look up to people like Bradley

2:15:55 > 2:15:54and Sir Chris. It is a nice position to be in. People recognise that you

2:15:55 > 2:15:54have had success. As an athlete, you are always looking forward at the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54next target, the next win, achieving another time. It is nice to think

2:15:55 > 2:15:54that you have won some good things sometimes, nice to reflect.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Obviously, you are representing team England and you have the gold medal

2:15:55 > 2:15:54and you are very proud and beat lag of St George on your nails which

2:15:55 > 2:15:54looks fantastic. Clearly, Elinor Barker and Katie Archibald our here

2:15:55 > 2:15:54as well. Let's talk about Elinor Barker first. How talented is she?

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Really talented. She came into the squad in 2013, after London and

2:15:55 > 2:15:54impressed everyone. She has been the senior world champion twice now and

2:15:55 > 2:15:54she is only 19. That's a lot more than I did when I was 19. She has

2:15:55 > 2:15:54won a silver and bronze medal this week. She still has two more events

2:15:55 > 2:15:54to go. She pushed Laura Trott all the way yesterday, it came down to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the final sprint. And Katie Archibald got a bronze after

2:15:55 > 2:15:54finishing fourth twice. Clearly a huge home favourite and she is a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54live wire as well, I understand. She is brilliant to have around, a great

2:15:55 > 2:15:54personality and great fun. She came into the squad full-time in only

2:15:55 > 2:15:54November last year, I think. She has improved the nominally in that time.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54If I could improve that quickly, I would be breaking world records all

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the time. She has come from being the new bee, the weakest, the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54youngest, and suddenly, every session, she is improving. Goodness

2:15:55 > 2:15:54knows where she can go. But definitely, she is a great asset for

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Rio, on and off the bike. It is a pleasure for me to meet you, and

2:15:55 > 2:15:54your success is fantastic. Congratulations again and here is to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54more success in the future, as the oldest member of the team. That is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54incredible, so young and still the oldest member of the tee mesh Mark

2:15:55 > 2:15:54let's go back to the netball now. Behind me is the armadillo, the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54SECC, just over the back of that, and let's get back to Wells against

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Barbados for the second half. -- Wales.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54COMMENTATOR: She just seemed to overextend that left arm. It looked

2:15:55 > 2:15:54like she hyperextended behind her. When you have played so many intense

2:15:55 > 2:15:54games in quick succession, the body becomes susceptible. Yes, you get a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54sense that it is fatigue, and some of the Barbados players are a bit --

2:15:55 > 2:15:54were a bit hesitant in the warm up. Hopefully she will be able to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54continue. No, Shonica Wharton's game has lasted 90 seconds. And Browne is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54back on. Any game plan that Anna Shepherd had, trying to change

2:15:55 > 2:15:54things up, has not lasted very long. Wharton did not even get a chance to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54get a shot away. Now, can Wales open their account in the second half?

2:15:55 > 2:15:54That has too much on it. Rhe-Ann Niles comes up with an important

2:15:55 > 2:15:54turnover ball. And the chance for... Barbados that they don't take. Yes,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54it is always that critical point, just as they come out of the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54defensive third. But a good recovery. Browne, there, doing some

2:15:55 > 2:15:54work in the wing recovery. Browne, there, doing some

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Barbados. They get a chance, here. It is almost as though they want

2:15:55 > 2:15:54advantage played in, now, because Browne had a route through to goal

2:15:55 > 2:15:54which she does not have now but she still scores. A 2-goal game and they

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Barbados and Bath and this is not still scores. A 2-goal game and they

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the second half. Credit to Barbados, a bit more patient in the build-up.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54And again, just looking for the long ball through to Sheniqua Thomas. She

2:15:55 > 2:15:54hangs wide, and just creeps into the shooting circle. What an important

2:15:55 > 2:15:54shot this years and it is a one goal game. It has not been a one goal

2:15:55 > 2:15:54game since the midpoint of the first quarter. Questions being asked of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Wales and can they respond? Lewis needs to be careful. Almost

2:15:55 > 2:15:54turnover ball for Jeneice Clarke. Just that loose double being sent by

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the Barbados defence. -- being set. That is good work by Moseley. Well,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Lewis has a tendency to miss at crucial moments and that was a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54crucial moment. Barbados, if they can see this position through, have

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the next centre bars, don't they? Some good work, the long ball

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Prichard, not tracking. Barbados get away with that because there were no

2:15:55 > 2:15:54options the Thomas but the foul relieve the pressure. Into Browne.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54This is to level it up. The playmaker. Browne misses the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54opportunity. She gets a second which she does not mess. It is a square

2:15:55 > 2:15:54game. -- does not miss. trying to apply the pressure. Now

2:15:55 > 2:15:54they need their shooters to fire. trying to apply the pressure. Now

2:15:55 > 2:15:54and then to retrieve and play the ball

2:15:55 > 2:15:54and then to retrieve and play the defence. This is a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54and then to retrieve and play the strong. The first goal of the third

2:15:55 > 2:15:54and then to retrieve and play the quarter comes for an a half minutes

2:15:55 > 2:15:54into the piece but it is the captain who does really well.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54into the piece but it is the captain had given up that opportunity to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54into the piece but it is the captain had given up that opportunity take

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the lead. If they had done that what would that have done to Wales? But

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Lewis has missed again. Real pressure by Niles. Good work from

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Barbados on the transition. More pressure by Niles. Good work from

2:15:55 > 2:15:54structure in attack. It is just the movement of the ball. Browne has

2:15:55 > 2:15:54missed it. Looking right down the barrel of that one. Both shooters

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Merwe is missing -- missing key opportunities. Lewis has another

2:15:55 > 2:15:54chance. Becky James on the bench, she might have a part to play later

2:15:55 > 2:15:54in this game if Lewis continues to fluff her lines in front of goal.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Credit to Bethan Dyke, she worked and tracked the centre past from

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Barbados to gain the intercept. Goals scored for Wales. Better play.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Seems to have shot them into playing in this second half. Moseley

2:15:55 > 2:15:54composed on the shot. Run of four goals from 23-23 just give Wales a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54bit of breathing space. As quickly as they have got that lead they

2:15:55 > 2:15:54could lose it. Browne losing her bearings. And another chance for

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Wales. From being up there Barbados suddenly find themselves four goals

2:15:55 > 2:15:54down. The pressure and momentum with Wales. How the game can change with

2:15:55 > 2:15:54one or two passing errors from Barbados.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Fought about it, drops. Wales centre bass. -- thought about it, Wales

2:15:55 > 2:15:54centre pass. Bethan Dyke into Lewis. Niles was a little late to track

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Lewis. Six unanswered goals. Wales back in command. As we take past the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54halfway point of the third quarter. Lewis indicated he/she has the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54backspace but no Welsh player wanted to put the ball through. They sense

2:15:55 > 2:15:54that Niles is there. Clarke is OK to continue after the collision with

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Pritchard. Good recovery by Jeneice Clarke for Barbados. It is a good

2:15:55 > 2:15:54shot. Now it is Barbados's turn to have a little run of goals. Well

2:15:55 > 2:15:54done, Cara Lea Moseley. Niles cannot get possession back. Just a little

2:15:55 > 2:15:54naive, Sheniqua Thomas, not realising the pressure would be on

2:15:55 > 2:15:54from the attack from Wales at that centre pass. Another miss from

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Wales. The Welsh shooters at 67%. That is about average for them.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Lewis over her previous three games at 71%. Cara Lea Moseley and 63% in

2:15:55 > 2:15:54this one, 60 5% in the previous three. Excellent ball by Bethan

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Dyke, wing attack. Suzie Drane pulling herself of the circle edge.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Laurel Browne missed five shots in the previous three games and has

2:15:55 > 2:15:54missed five shots in this one. Great play.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Browne trying to hold strong against Kelly Morgan. Thomas misses a key

2:15:55 > 2:15:54shot. Struggling to pick off the rebound, the Barbados pairing, in a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54shooting circle. Some great positioning by Morgan and Pritchard.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Well done. Browne. Clarke, Laurel Browne. She has to give it, she

2:15:55 > 2:15:54finds Samantha Browne. Good strong arms by Pritchard. Gets the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54deflection. Laurel Browne finding the target. 8-8 in this quarter so

2:15:55 > 2:15:54far. Remember, at one stage Barbados were level, 23-23. Just rushing that

2:15:55 > 2:15:54shot, Chelsea Lewis. Good work from Niles. Good structure from Barbados

2:15:55 > 2:15:54through the mid-court, supported well by Shanice Rock. Thomas does

2:15:55 > 2:15:54well. It is their centre pass. Niles goes long to Thomas. And a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54chance for Browne. Important chance. This one is going to go to the wire.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Some good play through the mid-court from Jeneice Clarke, Centre for

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Barbados. Heavy reliance on Niles and Blackman now to close off this

2:15:55 > 2:15:54ball through to Lewis or Moseley in the well shooting circle. Moseley

2:15:55 > 2:15:54comes all the way back out to Nia Jones and Bethan Dyke. Moseley

2:15:55 > 2:15:54then, no problem at all. Barbados you feel have two score from this

2:15:55 > 2:15:54then, no problem at all. Barbados possession. If they can go in for or

2:15:55 > 2:15:54three down they have a chance in this final quarter but in danger of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54going in five down which is what they were at half-time. Great play

2:15:55 > 2:15:54from Suzie Drane. Justin that's double play with Pritchard. Gets

2:15:55 > 2:15:54herself to the circle edge. Quality netball by Suzie Drane, the captain

2:15:55 > 2:15:54for Wales. It is a Wales centre pass so that possession for Barbados

2:15:55 > 2:15:54could ultimately prove very costly in the match overall.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54It is a six goal game and they simply have to score from this

2:15:55 > 2:15:54position, Barbados. Ideally they would like to run the clock down and

2:15:55 > 2:15:54get the last goal of the quarter, if they can. That will help.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54get the last goal of the quarter, if being called. Thomas. Clarke. Three

2:15:55 > 2:15:54second hold. And this could be the perfect finish for Wales. Three

2:15:55 > 2:15:54goals in the final 90 seconds. A good response by Moseley, some great

2:15:55 > 2:15:54work by Bethan Dyke. work by Bethan Dyke. Foot fault

2:15:55 > 2:15:54error, contact, that is time. That is the three quarters time whistle

2:15:55 > 2:15:54and Wales have a great end to the third quarter. They lead overall by

2:15:55 > 2:15:54seven. If 's and buts for Barbados but these are the statistics. 51

2:15:55 > 2:15:54shooting attempts for Wales but still these 69%, they need to lift

2:15:55 > 2:15:54that. Towards the end of that third quarter, much better for Wales.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Contact penalties very similar for both sides. Some more obstructions

2:15:55 > 2:15:54for Wales. But there is lots of pressure being put on, particularly

2:15:55 > 2:15:54in the mid-court, as we said. 20 errors for Barbados. Wales started

2:15:55 > 2:15:54poorly, they did not get their goal until foreign a half minutes.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Much better finish to the quarter. Great intercept from Bethan Dyke,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54previously Suzie Drane, they started to turn the game after those

2:15:55 > 2:15:54intercepts. Chelsea Lewis staying to turn the game after those

2:15:55 > 2:15:54strong and focused even though she had those missed shots. This is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54where Barbados got back in touch. It was 23-23 at one stage. Unforced

2:15:55 > 2:15:54errors creeping in, giving Moseley the chants from her favourite spot.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54You often see her shooting in that position. Listen up, we have to keep

2:15:55 > 2:15:54this short and sharp, you make the preliminary move or you attack

2:15:55 > 2:15:54through the middle and we make sure that every possession we keep. I

2:15:55 > 2:15:54don't care if it takes 50 passes, we keep possession. Yes? No real

2:15:55 > 2:15:54surprises. Let's see what we can get from this. You are capable of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54defending. Wise words from Laura Williams. And the last team huddle

2:15:55 > 2:15:54for Wales. We said Becky James might have a role to play and indeed she

2:15:55 > 2:15:54does. She is an act goal shooter after Lewis's am missed shots in

2:15:55 > 2:15:54front of goal. We are ready for the final quarter here. And here we go.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Final 15 minutes of this match. Some changes. We start with Wales, Becky

2:15:55 > 2:15:54James on in place of Chelsea Lewis. And Barbados have made changes as

2:15:55 > 2:15:54well. Latonia Blackman has gone to goal defence and Rhe-Ann Niles the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54goalkeeper. Just a swab in the defensive circle. -- swap. No

2:15:55 > 2:15:54surprise to see Becky James on. Wales extend their lead. Barbados

2:15:55 > 2:15:54had an opportunity in the third quarter which they did not take and

2:15:55 > 2:15:54they are being made to pay for it now. Costly error at the centre

2:15:55 > 2:15:54pass, you get the sense Wales got into their stride. Moseley shooting

2:15:55 > 2:15:54with confidence. Adjusted well to Becky James coming in at goal

2:15:55 > 2:15:54shooter. Some good quality service from Bethan Dyke and Suzie Drane,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the Welsh centre -wing attack pairing. Not afraid to put the ball

2:15:55 > 2:15:54back to the line, Wales. Just rebuild. Patiently keeping

2:15:55 > 2:15:54possession. Ursula Pritchard, and Nia Jones.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Becky James. Moseley, and the contact call against Rhe-Ann Niles.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Jeneice Clarke needs to receive some attention. Well, Wharton did not

2:15:55 > 2:15:54last 90 seconds, when we had our first two-minute break in the third

2:15:55 > 2:15:54quarter and we have not gone two minutes in the fourth quarter before

2:15:55 > 2:15:54treatment is required. So, Wales have had their moments in

2:15:55 > 2:15:54defence. They have come up with some great turnovers. Let's have a look

2:15:55 > 2:15:54at some of them now. Some great commitment from the attacking

2:15:55 > 2:15:54line-up for Wales. Bethan Dyke, really fast off the line, defending

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the Barbados centre pass. Prichard, showing the commitment to retrieve

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the loose ball. Deflection but still chases up. It is good to see.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54So, Jeneice Clarke is OK to continue. Wales will feel a lot more

2:15:55 > 2:15:54confident, now that they have got a ten goal lead. It would take a swing

2:15:55 > 2:15:54of some proportion for Barbados to get anything from this game now.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Jeneice Clarke has come off, in fact.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Finisher crony comes on at centre. -- Damisha Croney.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54A good take from Suzie Drane. Just run out of gas Barbados, a little

2:15:55 > 2:15:54bit, unfortunately. Yes, no denial in terms of the defensive pressure

2:15:55 > 2:15:54on the circle edge. Suzie Drane, just able to link and move and

2:15:55 > 2:15:54deliver to Moseley. And the errors are now coming from Barbados. They

2:15:55 > 2:15:54are just looking tired. The teak seems to have set in, particularly

2:15:55 > 2:15:54for Sheniqua Thomas at goal attack. -- fatigue seems to have set in.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Good pick-up by Moseley. She just could not convert. Rhe-Ann Niles,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54therefore the rebound, for Barbados. This would be the first time Shinnie

2:15:55 > 2:15:54get as has played four consecutive quarters, a whole match, for

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Barbados. -- Sheniqua Thomas. Two players started the movement into

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the mid-court and it paid off for Barbados. They just pooled, and were

2:15:55 > 2:15:54able to get the ball through. Just a reliance on one person moving at

2:15:55 > 2:15:54times, Barbados, in attack. Laurel Browne has also played pretty

2:15:55 > 2:15:54much the whole game. Just 90 seconds at the top of the third quarter when

2:15:55 > 2:15:54she did not play. When you are only getting a future is in a quarter,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54you need to convert them. -- a few chances in a quarter. That is a good

2:15:55 > 2:15:54swing of the ball. Suzie Drane across to Ursula Pritchard but again

2:15:55 > 2:15:54intercepted by Latonia Blackman. Oh, that is a good take from Damisha

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Croney. Just no option for Sheniqua Thomas.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54The delivery comes through from the top of the circle, into Browne.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Damisha Croney, just struggling at centre for Barbados against the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54speed of Suzie Drane. Barbados have not scored a goal, now, for six

2:15:55 > 2:15:54minutes. Laurel Browne scored their last, two minutes and 11 seconds

2:15:55 > 2:15:54before the end of the three quarters last, two minutes and 11 seconds

2:15:55 > 2:15:54time -- of the third quarter. But she has scored again now. Bethan

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Dyke, quick to react, lifting up in the air, popping the ball over. A

2:15:55 > 2:15:54good pass through to the shooter. Samantha Browne, good on the ball

2:15:55 > 2:15:54placement through. Good work from Kelly Morgan,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54stopping Sheniqua Thomas. Again, good pressure on the line by

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Wales. Yes, Morgan with the reverse hand, just coming out with

2:15:55 > 2:15:54possession, tracking the ball well from the centre pass, preventing

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Browne coming anywhere near that one.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Ursula Pritchard, on the line, not being defended, unopposed. You get

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the being defended, unopposed. You get

2:15:55 > 2:15:54tired out on court at the moment. Blackman, penalised. Moseley has

2:15:55 > 2:15:54missed. But the game is safe, I think, from a Welsh perspective.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Rhe-Ann Niles that the most energy. She keeps on

2:15:55 > 2:15:54popping up for that offensive rebound. -- defensive rebound. Good

2:15:55 > 2:15:54work from Blackman. And good work from Moseley. That

2:15:55 > 2:15:54reinstates the 12 goal lead. James recovers, and so does Rhe-Ann

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Niles. -- Jones recovers. -- James recovers. The best performance

2:15:55 > 2:15:54become petition for Anna Shepherd and 13. She just needs to follow the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54shot, Becky James. She is just standing there. She could

2:15:55 > 2:15:54potentially have got herself in for the deflection. Again, good

2:15:55 > 2:15:54pressure. You could see that one coming with Wales, just pitching

2:15:55 > 2:15:54into the centre channel. Good structure. Nia Jones retrieves. No

2:15:55 > 2:15:54one from Barbados is on the defensive transverse line. They are

2:15:55 > 2:15:54there, now, but their work rate has fallen off a cliff. No, not putting

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the pressure up on defence and capitalising on that, not afraid to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54put the ball back, Wales. Suzie Drane just trips on Ursula

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Pritchard. This is unravelling at a fair old rate for Barbados, isn't

2:15:55 > 2:15:54it? It is a quarter to far, almost 19 minutes too far. The final four

2:15:55 > 2:15:54minutes of the third quarter was wearing began. That went from a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54three goal difference, to a seven goal difference. In the opening nine

2:15:55 > 2:15:54minutes, it has gone from seven, to 13. There is going to be another

2:15:55 > 2:15:54time-out. Latonia Blackman just ran with the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54ball and collapsed at the top of the mid-court area. Let's have another

2:15:55 > 2:15:54look. She retrieves but just continues all the way through.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Struggling, somewhere. I think she got caught by the falling Becky

2:15:55 > 2:15:54James. Blood injury, gold offence. -- goal

2:15:55 > 2:15:54defence. Now it is the turn of Ursula Pritchard to have a time-out,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54for blood. You need to change the goal defence

2:15:55 > 2:15:54because it was a 32nd time-out. She has to come off. -- 30 seconds

2:15:55 > 2:15:54time-out. The referee is telling Barbados that the tiny -- Latonia

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Blackman has to be replaced. She could not come back on, now, having

2:15:55 > 2:15:54gone off. Barbados wing defence had the ball.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Rhe-Ann Niles has gone to goal the fence -- goal defence.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Laurel Browne, finding herself out of the circle. She was eager to get

2:15:55 > 2:15:54back to her favoured position, just holding strong on Morgan. Good

2:15:55 > 2:15:54retrieval by Sheniqua Thomas, for Barbados. There she is again. What a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54youngster, what a future she will have, Sheniqua Thomas, for Barbados.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Shonette Azore has gone into goal defence, pardon me. I am surprised

2:15:55 > 2:15:54they did not swap around. Shonette Azore is in at goalkeeper, sorry.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54That is the decision that has been made.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Becky James to Ursula Pritchard. Bethan Dyke. Into Suzie Drane again.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Solid work around the circle edge, for Wales. Oh, dear.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Costly, again, just the errors creeping in in the mid-court area

2:15:55 > 2:15:54from Barbados. Relatively uncontested, balls coming through,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54for Wales, on attack. You just get a sense it is Rhe-Ann Niles that is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54putting most pressure on, but the other Barbados players are not

2:15:55 > 2:15:54committing to the defensive roles. Oh, it has lipped out. Becky James

2:15:55 > 2:15:54has not had a great introduction into the piece.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54game. Sadly. Just the four goals in this quarter so far. That was that

2:15:55 > 2:15:54work from the centre pass from Barbados. Good preliminary movement

2:15:55 > 2:15:54by Thomas to find the passage through to goal.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Niles has gone down. We will have another injury time-out. She will

2:15:55 > 2:15:54have to be replaced. 30 seconds, just to leave the court. Niles. Tony

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Blackman is going to come back on. -- Tonya. Niles has had a good game.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54You get a sense it is fatigue for Niles.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Again, quality delivery at centre for Wales. They got 50 against

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Trinidad and Tobago. They will not get 50 against Barbados. Can

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Barbados find a couple of goals towards the end, to finish on a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54high? Good defensive pressure again. Strong communication from Prichard.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Wales, going to their second win. board.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Wales, going to their second win. They were pushed all the way by

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Barbados, until the final quarter. A good finish by Brown, for Barbados.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54That is the end of the match. A match that Wales have crow,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54That is the end of the match. A was in the balance until the final

2:15:55 > 2:15:54quarter. It was a slow start but the final 15 minutes put paid to any

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Barbados hopes. We mentioned in commentary, Barbados

2:15:55 > 2:15:54running out of gas. It was a great start to the game, but they could

2:15:55 > 2:15:54not hold strong. At times, limited in the movement. The availability of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the attacking unit. We talked about loss of play and possession around

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the mid-court-macro area. Wales, loss of play and possession around

2:15:55 > 2:15:54solid at times. Hesitant in some of the shooting. -- mid-court area.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54They gave a solid performance. Delight for Wales. They have one

2:15:55 > 2:15:54match remaining against South Africa, which if they could get a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54result would be key for them. The shooting attempts, 71, that tells a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54story. Obstructions, interestingly, 16, a high score, for Wales, against

2:15:55 > 2:15:54that of Barbados. But unforced errors for the Barbados side. Still,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Barbados are able to come out with the defensive rebounds. Some quality

2:15:55 > 2:15:54work. The matchplay errors and turnovers

2:15:55 > 2:15:54for Barbados, just... We can look at the highlights from the last

2:15:55 > 2:15:54quarter. Wales, 15 interceptors in the whole match. Great work from

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Moseley. At times a little shaky, Rebecca James, but she recovered

2:15:55 > 2:15:54well. Niles put in great defensive pressure. And Thomas, the youngster

2:15:55 > 2:15:54for the future for Barbados. She will be back and stronger after this

2:15:55 > 2:15:54competition. Plenty of Commonwealth Games in the locker for her.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54We are on the south of the River Clyde. You wander around here and

2:15:55 > 2:15:54look who you bump into. Wet Wet Wet. What are you doing here? We got

2:15:55 > 2:15:54invited to come along and play. The music and entertainment has a part

2:15:55 > 2:15:54to play. We are playing a tiny part. We feel privileged to get on

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the stage in front of people and play. Being part of the Commonwealth

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Games, it is a big deal. The city you guys are from. It is great for

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Glasgow and Scotland. It is great to see the athletes doing well. We have

2:15:55 > 2:15:54caught some of it. We have been touring, so it has been quite hard,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54but what we have court has been exciting and brilliant. Tommy, you

2:15:55 > 2:15:54are the drama, you are clearly the emotional guy, you have a heart.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54What has made you emotional? I was watching the two sisters in the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54judo. They did an interview. I have never seen happiness like it. The

2:15:55 > 2:15:54youth and naivete, the fact they succeeded. Being a musician, you

2:15:55 > 2:15:54spend three or four years preparing, to try to get your songs out there.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54They have dedicated themselves ten, 15 years, for this one stage to get

2:15:55 > 2:15:54onto. And to see them have the success. It upset me. I was

2:15:55 > 2:15:54thinking, oh, Glasgow, I wish I was there. The Scottish swimmer. The

2:15:55 > 2:15:54young boy who won? Ross Murdoch. When you saw him getting his medal,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54it was a great moment. It all came true for him. We are sitting here,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54but I want to focus on other nations. Australia. England, they

2:15:55 > 2:15:54are doing OK. Looking at the other nations, as well. What I am looking

2:15:55 > 2:15:54forward to is the boxing. Maybe it is the aggression, it is an

2:15:55 > 2:15:54excitement, they knocked seven bells out of each other and I like that

2:15:55 > 2:15:54side! We are here and we are on at 8pm, playing for an hour and a half

2:15:55 > 2:15:54and hopefully people will come along and enjoy us playing live. We will

2:15:55 > 2:15:54do our bit, but it is about the athletes. I am not sure there are

2:15:55 > 2:15:54any tickets, maybe you should not come! If you are close by, you will

2:15:55 > 2:15:54certainly hear them will stop on the north side of the river, as well. We

2:15:55 > 2:15:54can go back to live sporting action. Helen Skelton is with the swimming

2:15:55 > 2:15:54team. Swimming is under way. We will

2:15:55 > 2:15:54remind you of what has happened. We have the men's 200 metres

2:15:55 > 2:15:54backstroke. The next heat, we have a British golden boy in action. Andrew

2:15:55 > 2:15:54and Adrian, over to you. James Magnussen, the fastest man in

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the world. He is in Lane 4. The first of the seeded heats. Ranked

2:15:55 > 2:15:54number three in the Commonwealth coming into this heat. Seventh

2:15:55 > 2:15:54fastest in the world this year. Relatively slow, he was, to win the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54100. Conor Munn, of Northern Ireland, he is in lane seven. Adam

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Brown is going well. It looks like James Magnussen is going to get it.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54He does. 23.66, that is interesting. Adam Brown had a great start. He is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54gritting his teeth here. Really fighting the last ten metres.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Finding that difficult. James Magnussen getting the victory. The

2:15:55 > 2:15:54time is not bad. He wins the first of the seeded heats, there are three

2:15:55 > 2:15:54of them and the big boys are still coming. I would imagine that sub 23

2:15:55 > 2:15:54will be enough to make it through to the semifinals.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54This is interesting. Shoeman Against Ben Proud. Shoeman, he is in great

2:15:55 > 2:15:54shape. Ben Proud, something special from him.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54The second last heat. Fascinating to see underwater. Three, four, five,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54using underwater and using it well. Shoeman, he is looking powerful

2:15:55 > 2:15:54using underwater and using it well. lanes. Ben Proud is in Lane 5. His

2:15:55 > 2:15:54final 25, very good indeed. Ben Proud, equal second with Richard

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Schafers. Great reaction from Richard Schafers. Ben Proud, a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54fantastic stroke technique. Puts his arms forward, almost straight.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Getting his body as far as -- is far ahead as he can.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54It looks like sub 23 will make it through to the semis this evening.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54So far, we have eight on 22.87. The final heat. George Bovell, some

2:15:55 > 2:15:54really fast guys. Abboud, he is top of the shot.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Cameron McEvoy is going very well. Very tight indeed.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54semifinals. Cameron McEvoy did a great swim. On The greatest plays

2:15:55 > 2:15:54spoiler on an Australian two, three. -- Benjamin Proud. I think James

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Disney-May might make it. It will be Disney-May might make it. It will be

2:15:55 > 2:15:54tight. Curtis Coulter of Northern Ireland will be right on the edge.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54As expected, the two Australians in one and two. Richard Schaefer 's has

2:15:55 > 2:15:54made it one and two. Richard Schaefer 's has

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Curtis Coulter is the. He is in 16. Where you impress with Benjamin

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Proud -- Benjamin Proud? I think he is a sprinter. What gave you that

2:15:55 > 2:15:54idea? How impressed were you with? Really impressed. It is only a heat.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54The top 16 go through. The guys in the middle of the pool are probably

2:15:55 > 2:15:54half a length better than everyone else. You do as little as possible

2:15:55 > 2:15:54to get through to the semifinals. You just need to execute things, get

2:15:55 > 2:15:54off of the blocks and get off of the blocks and get over the boards. You

2:15:55 > 2:15:54take it a little bit easy. That comes of expedient, doesn't it #

2:15:55 > 2:15:54when Benjamin Proud the 50 metres butterfly, he did not breathe but

2:15:55 > 2:15:54they are, they took a stinky breath. I do not know if he doesn't want to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54do that during freestyle. -- took eight sneaky press. Did I tell you I

2:15:55 > 2:15:54was a sprinter? The case of the men's 200 meter backstroke came on

2:15:55 > 2:15:54before we were near. -- the eats. You have got Mitch Larkin going in

2:15:55 > 2:15:54fastest. He has got two Silver medals as well. He wants to get a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54gold medal. We also saw Ryan Bennett and Craig McNally. Ryan Bennett to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54get out hard from the start. He was to put in a good heat. Craig

2:15:55 > 2:15:54McNally, he swims tactically. He goes out a lot slower and then

2:15:55 > 2:15:54brings back in the last 50 metres. He totally picked it up towards the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54end. Is this Craig McNally 's best chance of a medal? They would have

2:15:55 > 2:15:54senior team-mates getting medals. That'll have knock-on effect. In the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54backstroke events, in the 100, they came seven. He is not a sprinter, he

2:15:55 > 2:15:54is a middle distance swimmer. You wondered what Craig McNally was

2:15:55 > 2:15:54doing there and then he came through at the end. It looks like he's

2:15:55 > 2:15:54playing games. They have both been to the Commonwealth Games in India

2:15:55 > 2:15:54and we were impressed with Craig McNally at the World Championships.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54I'm sure he has got more to give. And since they are both Scottish

2:15:55 > 2:15:54table want to give more. Let us remind ourselves who is through.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54That is tonight, the final. That is from seven p.m.. It is time for the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54women's 50 meter backstroke. Georgia Davies. The Welsh have not had any

2:15:55 > 2:15:54golds yet, can cheat on silver into gold? She talked about mocking up

2:15:55 > 2:15:54her finish in the last race. -- making an error with her finish. It

2:15:55 > 2:15:54is so important to hit the wall at the end. You see people who finish

2:15:55 > 2:15:54with the finish off the leash with a big glide. -- who finish with their

2:15:55 > 2:15:54face. The 50 metres backstroke is her race and she has a good chance.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54James Gibson trains are and also Fran Halle Sol and Liam Tancock.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54They have got a strong team. They are definitely more suited to the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54sprint events. She did not do the backstroke event. She likes the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54shorter distances. Over this distance, it is the smallest thing

2:15:55 > 2:15:54that makes the biggest difference. We are talking about split seconds.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54When I swam a 50 metres which I did in my life! In the Commonwealth

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Games in 1994, I got a bad store -- bad start. I was about half a length

2:15:55 > 2:15:54behind everybody and I came back to win the race by 100th of a second.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Tiny little things need to be right. Plenty of British girls starting the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54quest for a medal. Letters hand you over to Andrew and Adrian.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54The 50 metres is often won and lost by fractions of a second. Olympic

2:15:55 > 2:15:54champion by one 100th of a second. Was it enough? Of course. I lost one

2:15:55 > 2:15:54by 100th. 1983 European Championships.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Emily Seebohm has got a gold and silver so far. This will be

2:15:55 > 2:15:54interesting. Elizabeth Simmonds in Lane 3. She was European champion a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54few years ago. She seems to be coming down as she goes through her

2:15:55 > 2:15:54career. Emily Seebohm is coming through. Over the book -- Emily

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Seebohm wins it. That is a new Scottish record for Kathleen Dawson.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Elizabeth Simmonds 29 flat in Ford. -- in third.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Fascinating. All they have to do is make the semifinals but these

2:15:55 > 2:15:54printers do not like to lose. Emily Seebohm swam well to get the victory

2:15:55 > 2:15:54ahead of Kathleen Dawson. Kathleen Dawson has swum well this week. It

2:15:55 > 2:15:54will be an interesting final. Lauren Quigley coming up in the next race.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Lauren Quigley is the fastest seed in lane four. Belinda Hocking,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54champion on the 200. She has been really impressive, Lauren Quigley.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Just 19 years of age. Fourth in the 100, fifth

2:15:55 > 2:15:54That is Bethany first of Northern Ireland, she is a Paralympic in.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Lauren Quigley getting a good start in the centre. Also Belinda Hocking

2:15:55 > 2:15:54of Australia. Belinda Hocking looks pretty good. Gold in the 200 metres.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Bronze in the 100. Hold onto your stroke, Lauren Quigley. The British

2:15:55 > 2:15:54record is held by Georgia Davis at 27.8. 28.3, that is fine. She is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54second-fastest so far. 28.39, Lauren Quigley wins it. Snodgrass of Canada

2:15:55 > 2:15:54in second. We have got Georgia Davis coming up in the next one. Lauren

2:15:55 > 2:15:54in second. We have got Georgia Davis Quigley doing a good job. It will be

2:15:55 > 2:15:54between the home countries and the Australians. Lauren Quigley WinZip,

2:15:55 > 2:15:5428.3. Snodgrass second. Linda Hocking in third place. 31 could

2:15:55 > 2:15:54make it through to the final. There is Lauren Quigley, wonderful

2:15:55 > 2:15:54swimming family she comes from. The final heat of the women's 50 meter

2:15:55 > 2:15:54backstroke. Georgia Davis from Wales. That would be fantastic for

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Wales if she wins. 1974 was Wales. That would be fantastic for

2:15:55 > 2:15:54time that they won a gold medal for the women. Maggie Wilson in Lane 5.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54More of the 200 metres expect. -- expert.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Jessica Fullalove in lane three from Manchester.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54The final heat of the women's 50 meter backstroke. 15 metres

2:15:55 > 2:15:54underwater. It is faster to swim underwater than it is to swim on top

2:15:55 > 2:15:54of the water with backstroke. underwater than it is to swim on top

2:15:55 > 2:15:54expecting something reasonably underwater than it is to swim on top

2:15:55 > 2:15:54belongs to Georgia Davis of Wales. She is holding

2:15:55 > 2:15:54belongs to Georgia Davis of Wales. than she normally does.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54belongs to Georgia Davis of Wales. outside of horror British record.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54She is the fastest into the semifinals. That was very impressive

2:15:55 > 2:15:54indeed. But as a Commonwealth Games record. The first person under 28

2:15:55 > 2:15:54seconds. This is a good opportunity for Wales to perform in the swimming

2:15:55 > 2:15:54pool. She was right off at the starters gun. She spotted the wall

2:15:55 > 2:15:54perfectly. She is definitely going to be challenging for the gold

2:15:55 > 2:15:54medal. Good finish. Very strong. She still has a very tight Hannover. I

2:15:55 > 2:15:54was talking to her court and he said that they know about that and they

2:15:55 > 2:15:54are sorting it out. The 100 metres, it was fantastic to get the silver

2:15:55 > 2:15:54medal for Georgia Davies. It is a new Commonwealth Games record 27.9.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54He had at the qualifiers for the semifinal. Georgia Davies going in

2:15:55 > 2:15:54fastest. Emily Seebohm in second. Lauren Quigley third. I am delighted

2:15:55 > 2:15:54to say I am joined in the commentary box by the great, something like

2:15:55 > 2:15:54that, Mark Woods. We know the school in the medals, four gold medals.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Five silvers. Three bronze. This is the SM8 category. You see the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54graphic with the man coming in of things they could have issues with.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54We could have in this race people with amputations. The favourite

2:15:55 > 2:15:54walking and has got muscular dystrophy. That affects him

2:15:55 > 2:15:54differently to how the amputees are affected but they have got

2:15:55 > 2:15:54compatible abilities in the water. Oliver Hynd is a fabulous swimmer of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the Great Britain at the world games and also the Paralympics in London,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54he did a wonderful job. Absolutely, he has won gold and now

2:15:55 > 2:15:54this is the one he wants to compete that sector.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54There is only one heat they are swimming fillet on assignment in the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54final. -- swimming for the Lane assignment.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54He has a very strong flight, his backstroke and freestyle is good.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54His weak stroke is the breaststroke. Blake Cochrane, he is strong on

2:15:55 > 2:15:54breaststroke. He won the gold medal in the 100 breaststroke in this

2:15:55 > 2:15:54category. We might see him trying to make ground back up on Oliver Hynd.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54This is the event that Oliver Hynd has put his stamp on. He has done a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54fantastic job over the last four years. A bronze medal at the World

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Championships in the backstroke. He did not quite spot the turn, having

2:15:55 > 2:15:54to do a couple of short strokes. At the halfway turned, very good

2:15:55 > 2:15:54backstroke. Breaststroke is his weaker? It is interesting, you said

2:15:55 > 2:15:54he did not quite spot the turn. Sometimes, you need a heat to get a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54sense of how you will feel with the adrenaline pumping. Those small

2:15:55 > 2:15:54adjustments, I am pretty sure he will not have to do that in the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54final. The Australian, to the right, really working his breaststroke

2:15:55 > 2:15:54card. It must be difficult to keep the symmetrical stroke with an

2:15:55 > 2:15:54amputation. You need to try to stay symmetrical and breaststroke is one

2:15:55 > 2:15:54of the harder ones. Oliver Hynd turning well. The world record is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54held by Peter Leake. It looks like Oliver Hynd is taking it relatively

2:15:55 > 2:15:54easy. He knows he will be in lane for further final. He has blown the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54cobwebs away and he is cruising. Oliver Hynd is going to win this

2:15:55 > 2:15:54heat. He is four seconds slower than his lifetime best. It looks like he

2:15:55 > 2:15:54pushed it to about 150 and then took his foot off the gas. I agree. The

2:15:55 > 2:15:54bulk of the four seconds away from his personal best was done in the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54last few metres. I can see him getting close to the world record.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Four races so far, three of them with a record. Kumarasiri, of Sri

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Lanka, getting a huge ovation. It is great to see these countries

2:15:55 > 2:15:54bringing para-athletes to the Commonwealth Games. Very important

2:15:55 > 2:15:54for the development of the sport around the world. Oliver Hynd will

2:15:55 > 2:15:54certainly be in the centre. He wants to complete the set of medals and

2:15:55 > 2:15:54get a gold medal here and there is every likelihood he will do that.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54From my reckoning, there have only been three British people, sorry,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54two, so far. David Wilkie and the great Rebecca Adlington. And also

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Oliver Hynd, which would make him of third person to do it in Great

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Britain and the second to do it in Mansfield. Goodness me! The

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Olympics, the World Championships the Commonwealth Games, and you are

2:15:55 > 2:15:54only the second most successful in Mansfield! Thank you, Mark. Always

2:15:55 > 2:15:54fascinating to watch these swimmers. Probably the most entertaining

2:15:55 > 2:15:54swimming of the week so far. Three records, can we get a fourth

2:15:55 > 2:15:54tonight? The women's 200 metres butterfly.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54I'm joined by Adrian. Katerine Savard in Lane 4. The fastest seed

2:15:55 > 2:15:54in this first heat. She is next to Jemma Lowe and Alys Thomas of Wales.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54The Canadians have decent chances in this 200 fly. That is Jemma Lowe.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Good 200 specialist. The first of three heats. At the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54top, McMahon of Northern Ireland. The first of three heats. At the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54The two Welsh women either side of Katerine Savard. She has taken the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54lead, sorry, Jemma Katerine Savard. She has taken the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54lead. Good to see her back on form. Six in the 200 fly in the Olympic

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Games. Katerine Savard, top eight in the world this year. Jemma Lowe has

2:15:55 > 2:15:54a good second half of her length. Katerine Savard will not be used to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54this. Again, the Welsh and surrounded. If Jemma

2:15:55 > 2:15:54this. Again, the Welsh and this, it will

2:15:55 > 2:15:54this. Again, the Welsh and semifinal, straight to the final

2:15:55 > 2:15:54tonight. Jemma Lowe's record two point 05.03.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54She is seven tenths of a second on her Welsh record at halfway.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Easing off a little bit now. The third 50 has been fairly

2:15:55 > 2:15:54comfortable. She is now picking it up again. This is impressive.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Katerine Savard, top eight in the world, and Jemma Lowe, I'm sure

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Katerine Savard is taking it comfortably, but Jemma Lowe is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54making her look fairly ordinary. comfortably, but Jemma Lowe is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54will certainly be in the final with this swim. Alys Thomas, that is a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54good swim for her, and she should make the final with that. Katerine

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Savard, finishing in third is a very dangerous place. I just saw her

2:15:55 > 2:15:54face, and she is exhausted. She is more of a 100 swimmer. 50 and a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54hundred. She mainly gets medals in the 100. Jemma Lowe, I think this

2:15:55 > 2:15:54event suits her well. I am not sure if she has another

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Commonwealth Games in her, 24 now. It would be good to see her on the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54podium tonight. I am sure Alys Thomas will be in the final as well.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Katerine Savard, third, that is dangerous.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Ellen Gandy. The British record-holder on the 100 fly,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54swimming for Australia now. Ellen Gandy, first international for

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Australia and it happens to be on British soil. She swam in London for

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Great Britain. She was training in Melbourne for a while and moved over

2:15:55 > 2:15:54there. The second heat of three further

2:15:55 > 2:15:54women's 200 metres butterfly and the British record-holder in four,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54representing Australia, Ellen Gandy. A good quiz question. We have

2:15:55 > 2:15:54various points of view about changing nations. She now lives

2:15:55 > 2:15:54there and she wants to be Australian. Ellen Gandy, turning in

2:15:55 > 2:15:54first place. Aimee Willmott, I think she was disappointed with her silver

2:15:55 > 2:15:54but she lost to a gutsy swim by Hannah Miley. Aimee Willmott, I

2:15:55 > 2:15:54know, would like revenge. This will be a hard event to do that. A couple

2:15:55 > 2:15:54of swimmers are capable of faster. I am not too worried about this. Ellen

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Gandy has not had the greatest meet. Aimee Willmott turning second.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Bowles, if she qualifies, as she will be doing the double tonight. If

2:15:55 > 2:15:54these two can continue at this rate, they will make it through to the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54final relatively comfortable. This is a slightly faster heat. Aimee

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Willmott, turning well and coming back on Ellen Gandy. This is the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54race is two women have swum a few times before. Great strength,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54technique, holding it well. As a 400 swimmer, she has the endurance

2:15:55 > 2:15:54towards the end. Getting closer to Ellen Gandy. Her father was a 400

2:15:55 > 2:15:54metres medley representative for Britain at the Olympics. Aimee

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Willmott, she has won it. The British record-holder for Australia

2:15:55 > 2:15:54second. Sheridan coming in for. I am not sure it will be fast enough to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54make it through to the final, but Aimee Willmott certainly. Aimee

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Willmott has strong shoulders, very good power. Gets the arms to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54shoulder width. Ellen Gandy, her arms are getting shorter. Sorry, her

2:15:55 > 2:15:54stroke is getting shorter! Aimee Willmott was strong towards the end.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Aimee Willmott winning the second heat. The fastest heat is still to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54come. She will be fine getting through to the final with that. The

2:15:55 > 2:15:54final heat. Matty Groves, the fastest in the Commonwealth this

2:15:55 > 2:15:54year. Hannah Miley, she is also in the 800 freestyle final. What a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54tough double. I would say pretty much impossible. It is the 800

2:15:55 > 2:15:54freestyle first. And then the 200 metres butterfly. A 45 minutes gap.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54We will talk about it, but I am not sure that doing the 800 is the best

2:15:55 > 2:15:54thing for Hannah Miley. The final heat. In lane number seven, the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Singapore swimmer very close to the 15 metre mark and if you go past it,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54you are disqualified. I would give her the benefit of the doubt. Hannah

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Miley, swimming 800, I think she thought the 400 medley was the best

2:15:55 > 2:15:54chance of gold and everything else was a bonus. I think she is having

2:15:55 > 2:15:54fun, doing 800 metres freestyle for fun! And 200 fly. She is tough.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Matty Groves, aged 19, from the Australian team. A real talent for

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the future -- Matty Groves. weekly stroke in the medley is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54horror butterfly. -- her weakest stroke. She does not go out hard.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54She saves herself for the stroke. She does not go out hard.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54part of the race. Audrey Lacroix swam in Melbourne. She was on her

2:15:55 > 2:15:54side the entire time. She was stealing at all. That is horror

2:15:55 > 2:15:54maturity. Matty Groves is going to take it on. -- her maturity. The

2:15:55 > 2:15:54lungs are absolutely burning but an impressive final 25 from Madeline

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Groves of Australia. Heartache and will put into the final, I believe,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54fastest this evening. -- her time. Audrey Lacroix is second and how

2:15:55 > 2:15:54well Miley is thought. -- and Hannah Miley is third. She is about two or

2:15:55 > 2:15:54three seconds off of horror Scottish record. -- off of her Scottish

2:15:55 > 2:15:54record. She was gliding in and really pleased that the wall was

2:15:55 > 2:15:54there. The 200 metre butterfly. There are no semifinals. Semifinals

2:15:55 > 2:15:54in the World Championships and the Olympics, at the Commonwealth Games

2:15:55 > 2:15:54they are going from Keats to final. Only three heats. Two semifinals is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54probably too much. There is not huge depth once you get beyond about ten

2:15:55 > 2:15:54swimmers in these events. The top eight will push it. I gave the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54swimmers in these events. The top of the doubt but the judges did not.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Look at the bottom. Let us check if Hannah Miley has made it as well.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Look at the bottom. Let us check if qualifier. Hannah Miley has needed

2:15:55 > 2:15:54and will be in Lane 1 in the final. The final is tonight on BBC

2:15:55 > 2:15:54This will be one-sided because Becky is not here but that looks like one

2:15:55 > 2:15:54of the most exhausted places. -- one of the most exhausting braces.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54of the most exhausted places. -- one learn. The 200 metre butterfly, you

2:15:55 > 2:15:54event or feeding. It is like event or feeding. It is like

2:15:55 > 2:15:54back and you start syncing. It sounds funny but

2:15:55 > 2:15:54back and you start syncing. It nightmare. Alison Streeter, she is a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54long-distance channel swimmer, she has done a one-way crossing of the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54English Channel, she is called Madame Butterfly, using the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54butterfly stroke. How many meters are you doing in your warm up and

2:15:55 > 2:15:54your cool down? Most of these people will do about one-mile warming up.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Some splints. They will take blood from new year and they will work out

2:15:55 > 2:15:54lactic acid. -- blood from your year. They probably do about 2000

2:15:55 > 2:15:54metres in the cooldown. That will not be done and classify. People do

2:15:55 > 2:15:54not see all of those extra metres outside of the pool. We have talked

2:15:55 > 2:15:54about the hours and hours of training. Your family is part of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54making that happen. One young man we have seen in action this morning.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Oliver Hynd. He was inspired by his brother in paging. It is fair to say

2:15:55 > 2:15:54he has gone on to achieve quite a lot. -- in China. Great swim. Looks

2:15:55 > 2:15:54like you took your foot off the gas in the last 50 metres. I felt very

2:15:55 > 2:15:54comfortable. I have got a lot to give and I am really excited. The

2:15:55 > 2:15:54world record is beckoning. Couple of seconds of your personal best.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Hopefully. I will give it a go. You have got three other titles, you

2:15:55 > 2:15:54would like the full set. It is special that you have been able to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54come here and do that. It is potluck to which events they put in. I am

2:15:55 > 2:15:54very fortunate by my -- that's my event has been put on and I am

2:15:55 > 2:15:54grateful for the opportunity and I need to take it. How is life

2:15:55 > 2:15:54training? It is a little bit different. I'm here to do a job.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Good luck tonight. Thank you. What are you most looking forward to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54tonight? We are getting towards the end of the swimming programme. Every

2:15:55 > 2:15:54evening they do something different. The sprint events are very close to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54my heart. Becky is not here and I feel that I have to defend her. I

2:15:55 > 2:15:54love the splints because they are fast, short, sharp, quick. The

2:15:55 > 2:15:54long-distance events, the 800 metres, the swimmer tonight, she was

2:15:55 > 2:15:54dragged through by Adlington. She goes tonight in the 800 -- the 800

2:15:55 > 2:15:54metres final, Jazz Carlin. Becky made me enjoy long events. She has

2:15:55 > 2:15:54had one day of rest, how much will that help? We constantly see

2:15:55 > 2:15:54swimmers in here. The ladies that she is racing against, Lauren Boyle

2:15:55 > 2:15:54from New Zealand, they will have one days rest as well. She is not any

2:15:55 > 2:15:54different to the other ladies in the 800 metres freestyle. Hannah Miley

2:15:55 > 2:15:54is not a 800 metres freestyle specialist. She has got a huge

2:15:55 > 2:15:54programme. She has got two finals this evening. Hard event was the 400

2:15:55 > 2:15:54metres medley on the first day which she won. Now she wants to try

2:15:55 > 2:15:54everything. It is the same for Amy that we have just seen. The 200

2:15:55 > 2:15:54metres butterfly. If you are here you might as well join them.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Everybody has got to be a main event. -- has got the own main

2:15:55 > 2:15:54event. Your main focus is your main event. If you are talented enough,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54you can do a number of events. Everybody will have their number one

2:15:55 > 2:15:54event. They will try to pick up medals elsewhere. Hannah Miley any

2:15:55 > 2:15:54individual medley last night, she was not down on paper to win

2:15:55 > 2:15:54anything but that was a surprise. She is good enough to do

2:15:55 > 2:15:54multi-events. Like Becky, when she got her gold medal in China, that

2:15:55 > 2:15:54was not on the programme and was not what she was training for. It was a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54surprise. That was one of my most emotional events was Becky 's 400

2:15:55 > 2:15:54metres freestyle. The 800 metres was an exhibition, a world record, that

2:15:55 > 2:15:54is what she does. It is mind blowing. You two unlike Richard and

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Judy. She is not here. When it she is here you fight like children.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54When she is not here then I'll offer. -- then I love her. We all

2:15:55 > 2:15:54respect each other for what we do. With Becky, the long-distance

2:15:55 > 2:15:54swimmers, the swimmer so much more. They do the hours in the water. I

2:15:55 > 2:15:54want a penny each time you mention that you were a sprinter. I have got

2:15:55 > 2:15:54so much respect for those guys. I used to do the long-distance top

2:15:55 > 2:15:54when I was younger. You have to spend a lot of time in your own

2:15:55 > 2:15:54head. In the team, you have got different groups, who your friends

2:15:55 > 2:15:54are. In a team of 30 people, there are about 56 clips and they just

2:15:55 > 2:15:54hang around together. We should mention that Becky has gone to do

2:15:55 > 2:15:54other work. Oow! . That was my first Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh in

2:15:55 > 2:15:541986 and I am 16 years of age. I got a tattoo two months before that

2:15:55 > 2:15:54looks like a Japanese laws and not an English rose. That was my first

2:15:55 > 2:15:54mistake. I had a Mohican hairstyle which was not a good idea. --

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Japanese rose. Your mistake was teasing Sir Chris Hoy last night. I

2:15:55 > 2:15:54think it was. Becky has gone to do work. She has not left us with half

2:15:55 > 2:15:54a banana. That was really kind of her. That is why we sent her away,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54she broke into the bananas and we sent her away. She realised that she

2:15:55 > 2:15:54was too good for the table and she has left us. These two will scrap it

2:15:55 > 2:15:54out tonight. Thankfully that is on Clare Balding 's time and not mine.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Thank you very much indeed. Here at the Pacific key on the south side of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the River Clyde, we are like here for the duration of the Commonwealth

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Games. -- Quay. We spoke to Wet Wet Wet earlier. BBC radio is in that

2:15:55 > 2:15:54tent. We have got this massive scheme with what is happening on

2:15:55 > 2:15:54BBC1. All of these people here... They have came all the way down to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the BBC here just to watch the television. Enjoy the rarefied

2:15:55 > 2:15:54atmosphere of Glasgow in the sun. You can have a shot on the Ferris

2:15:55 > 2:15:54wheel which is not moving at the moment. You can do all manner of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54things and get involved in the Commonwealth Games.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54is what is happening on BBC free and that would be weird because I would

2:15:55 > 2:15:54be on that screen and then that would be infinity and the earth

2:15:55 > 2:15:54would move off its axis. Northern Ireland had the chance to win the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54first golden -- gold medal in the balls this morning. -- bowls. South

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Africa got ahead early, Northern Ireland rallied but South Africa

2:15:55 > 2:15:54came back again. Silver medal for Northern Ireland. Sabbatical winning

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the gold medal but a gallant silver medal for Northern Ireland. Sir

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Patrick had an early advantage and did not relinquish it. We did not

2:15:55 > 2:15:54get any breaks to start. They did not relinquish it. We did not

2:15:55 > 2:15:54get any breaks to start. played well. We were too far behind. It was

2:15:55 > 2:15:54too much to come back. The manner of your progress in the two of and,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54having a deficit, was not a problem. The commentators were

2:15:55 > 2:15:54saying that they have been behind but they can make it up. The last

2:15:55 > 2:15:54two games, we had to come back. South

2:15:55 > 2:15:54two games, we had to come back. deserved to win the gold. Lessons

2:15:55 > 2:15:54learned? Maybe. A quick start is what matters. You are the focus of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the attention because it has been pointed out that these are your last

2:15:55 > 2:15:54international games. How are the emotions? I have had every colour of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54medal. You are always disappointed when you get silver or bronze.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54medal. You are always disappointed men should be very proud of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54themselves. Silver, not many people can get it. We can hold our heads up

2:15:55 > 2:15:54high. You won the gold medal in 1998, even though you have not got

2:15:55 > 2:15:54as you say the number one medal, it is the type of effort you look back

2:15:55 > 2:15:54on and say, what a great effort from the team and excitement for the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54future. These two guys are superb players and will go want to win more

2:15:55 > 2:15:54medals. It has been satisfying coming back from the starts we have

2:15:55 > 2:15:54had the last games. We could have fallen down in the quarterfinal.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Very proud of the guys. Disappointment now, but it is a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54silver medal. They played well and deserved it. What is your prospects

2:15:55 > 2:15:54with a fours? There are fairy tales that can happen. What is the chance

2:15:55 > 2:15:54of a fairy tale finish? I have not got a clue. We will work hard. We

2:15:55 > 2:15:54managed to sneak a shot in the first game yesterday. We will get our

2:15:55 > 2:15:54heads down. We will have a couple of side is tonight and get our heads

2:15:55 > 2:15:54back in the right mode and give it a good go. Commiserations, but still

2:15:55 > 2:15:54very proud of the silver medal. We have a potential gold medal for

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Scotland in the men's pairs. Foster and Marshall taking on Malaysia. The

2:15:55 > 2:15:54building behind them, it is the Kelvingrove Art Gallery, one of the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54most beautiful in the city. It is free to get in, as all art galleries

2:15:55 > 2:15:54and museums are in Glasgow. It looks beautiful. I think the bowls

2:15:55 > 2:15:54location is stunning. They have the museum and park around it. And on

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the Hill, the spire of Glasgow University. In action this morning

2:15:55 > 2:15:54were Wales, with a chance of a medal, a bronze medal, they were up

2:15:55 > 2:15:54against Australia. This is what happened in this one. Wales managed

2:15:55 > 2:15:54to get this. It was a very close match. Australia hat to score well

2:15:55 > 2:15:54to get back into this but Wales got in front and they stayed in front

2:15:55 > 2:15:54and they won by 16 to 14. They picked up a bronze medal. This is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the way it looked as they got to the podium. The Welsh team going up for

2:15:55 > 2:15:54their medals. Very happy they are, indeed. The Australian side were

2:15:55 > 2:15:54very impressive and the Welsh team managed to keep their noses in

2:15:55 > 2:15:54front. Congratulations to them this morning. That is just a beautiful

2:15:55 > 2:15:54setting. And as we just saw, not just do they get a bronze medal,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54they get a quaich, a cup of friendship. You put a little bit of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54whiskey inside, and you give it to someone else to take a drink as a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54sign of friendship will stop hold it with both hands, let them drink, and

2:15:55 > 2:15:54then you take the whiskey yourself. Fill it with more whiskey and the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54night carries on. The Northern Irish side, not victorious in the final.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54They lost 19 - ten. Paul Daly and Neil Mulholland and Neil Booth. Neil

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Booth has been around the Northern Irish bowling scene for many years,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54representing them at all levels. He will retire at the end of the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Commonwealth Games. He still has a chance of the medal in the fours.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Disappointment they him because a lot of people fancied Northern

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Ireland for the gold medal. Northern Ireland beat 19-10 in the final. We

2:15:55 > 2:15:54can go to live action. We are going to squash. We are going over there,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54north of the river, maybe two miles over the Ferris wheel. We can go for

2:15:55 > 2:15:54live action. It is the bronze medal match between Peter Barker and

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Saurav Ghosal of India. Glasgow Commonwealth Games, 2014,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54men's bronze medal match. Here we go, the men's singles bronze medal

2:15:55 > 2:15:54match and it is Peter Barker to kick off.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Martin, sorry, kind of renowned for starting slow. Is that the way he

2:15:55 > 2:15:54responds better, when he is coming from behind? It seems to be the case

2:15:55 > 2:15:54with Saurav Ghosal. It is difficult to say it is his tactic, he does not

2:15:55 > 2:15:54not want to have momentum at the start of the match. He showed

2:15:55 > 2:15:54amazing gripped when he was down. He likes the front of the court. Great

2:15:55 > 2:15:54touches and fast eat at the front of the court. -- feet. Towards the end

2:15:55 > 2:15:54of the game, it tends to be the style of the attacking player that

2:15:55 > 2:15:54wins the game. The shot maker can use fast feet and hands at the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54front. He is very hard to put away, Saurav Ghosal.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54And that is the front of court you were talking about.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54The English man in charge right now. We saw how devastating his forehand

2:15:55 > 2:15:54has been the last couple of We saw how devastating his forehand

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Especially in the round against the Australian player.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54No let given. Noticeable that the frame of Peter Barker, and the five

2:15:55 > 2:15:54foot six frame of the Indian player, it is quite difficult for Saurav

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Ghosal to make his way through. Peter Barker is an incredibly

2:15:55 > 2:15:54balanced athlete. He has that slight reverse, just as he hits the ball.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Back into the middle of the court, compounding the strength of the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54shot. And the same there, compounding the strength of the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54forehand from the middle of the court. Great reactions. The wrist

2:15:55 > 2:15:54strength again. That was a nice bit of deception.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54When you send the ball around the angles. You have to hit the ball

2:15:55 > 2:15:54very hard into the side wall. And then into the nick. That is the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54joint between the wall and the floor.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Oh, yes, what a super rally. All four corners of the court being

2:15:55 > 2:15:54used. It was a better rally from Saurav Ghosal. But Peter Barker,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54just one step away. Using the forehand to great effect again.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54The first game point of this bronze medal match. And it goes to Peter

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Barker. Saurav Ghosal a couple of minutes to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54warm up. We definitely saw... We can listen to the English coach. The

2:15:55 > 2:15:54music coming through the system means it is very difficult to hear

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Chris Roberson. -- Chris Robertson. What we did hear from the coach was

2:15:55 > 2:15:54for Barker to get the ball into the back of the court. Step up and use

2:15:55 > 2:15:54his volley. Peter Barker just puts his left leg over with his left

2:15:55 > 2:15:54hand, he is just so strong. It really nullifies one of the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54strengths of the Indian on the court. 2010 in India, a rematch.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Right here. He is losing the match, will he be able to focus and do what

2:15:55 > 2:15:54is necessary to get back. When you play a left-handed player, it is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54difficult... What you would do against a right-handed player, it is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54difficult to execute when most of your strengths are on the left-hand

2:15:55 > 2:15:54side of the court. Side wall, floor. Where the meat is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54called the neck. - where they meet is called the nick. He can attack

2:15:55 > 2:15:54into the corner but he needs to pull Peter Barker back first. Then he can

2:15:55 > 2:15:54attack. We can see from Ghosal he possesses the ability to change the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54direction of the ball. One of his great strengths. He gets off to a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54good start. Free-mac-0. -- 3-0. Possibly a little bit early there.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54We can see how easy it is for Peter Barker to move forward. Incredibly

2:15:55 > 2:15:54strong athlete. From 3-0, Ghosal has let that lead

2:15:55 > 2:15:54slip. Let. That was a better rally from

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Ghosal. He put a lot of pressure on Barker 's backhand. We can see his

2:15:55 > 2:15:54mother sitting there. She is a little bit nervous.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Let. It is all very steady, Martin. Nobody going for too much. Playing a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54little bit safe. Even though Ghosal is not getting the points, he has

2:15:55 > 2:15:54lost the last four points. He is changing the shape of the game by

2:15:55 > 2:15:54missing the ball to Peter Barker 's backhand side. He does not want him

2:15:55 > 2:15:54to use his forehand. Lovely. Nice, weighted shot to the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54back corner. We have seen all week, Martin, in this event, those back

2:15:55 > 2:15:54corners really good take good length. When you have got space like

2:15:55 > 2:15:54that down the line, closed the wall, it is low and hard. It moves into

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the back corners and stays there. Barker not very happy with that

2:15:55 > 2:15:54decision. That was a good shot by Ghosal.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54That is much better by Ghosal. Starting to utilise the backhand of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Peter Barker on the right-hand side of the court. He is getting more

2:15:55 > 2:15:54opportunities on his forehand volley. It gives him a lot of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54options. He can change the direction when he needs to.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54-- and a trick shot. What a way to finish the rally. What a shame. The

2:15:55 > 2:15:54best rally of the shot so far. -- best rally of the match so far.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Great pick ups. He was looking for the let. You can see the look of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54unhappiness on Peter Barker 's fees. It was very nice to see Peter Barker

2:15:55 > 2:15:54roll around the outside of that ball when he went for the drop shot. When

2:15:55 > 2:15:54he hits the front wall, the tiny little bit of spin brings it back

2:15:55 > 2:15:54onto the side wall. Great control. Again, a nick on the forehand side

2:15:55 > 2:15:54of the court. On the right-hand side. Coming out and rolling. It was

2:15:55 > 2:15:54a great snap of the wrist from Saurav Ghosal. He is using the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54crosscourt lob. He is managing to control, get in the middle. And

2:15:55 > 2:15:54again, an almost identical shot. Sarah Kippax, another England

2:15:55 > 2:15:54player, supporting here today. A good response from the Indian

2:15:55 > 2:15:54player. Right now, two points away from clinching the second game.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54What a shot! Saurav Ghosal, the last couple of rallies, beautiful hands.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54And then showing the straight drop shot, and flicking it crosscourt. It

2:15:55 > 2:15:54is so hard to see. We are used to seeing Saurav Ghosal coming from the

2:15:55 > 2:15:542-0 down. But right now, a point away from going 1-1.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54And a lucky nick at the back of the court. Unfortunate for Peter Barker,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54but I am sure Saurav Ghosal will be happy to win it anyway. Saurav

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Ghosal taking the Game 11-6. happy to win it anyway. Saurav

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Martin, you have played at two Commonwealth Games. Is there more

2:15:55 > 2:15:54pressure in an event like this, as opposed to other events on the world

2:15:55 > 2:15:54circuit? opposed to other events on the world

2:15:55 > 2:15:54country, it produces something special from a player. The

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Commonwealth Games is the biggest stage, the window into the world.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54For these players, it is where they want to have their peak performance.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54It only happens once every four years, which is another reason it is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54so special. For them to get a medal... It might be difficult for

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Peter Barker to get a medal, at 30 years of age. Possibly his last

2:15:55 > 2:15:54chance? It is difficult to say, these athletes are having extended

2:15:55 > 2:15:54careers. We have seen that in sports like tennis. Noticeable that Saurav

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Ghosal was starting to aim a lot of his game and play to the backhand

2:15:55 > 2:15:54side of Peter Barker. The right-hand side of the court.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54side of Peter Barker. The right-hand paying dividends right now. We can

2:15:55 > 2:15:54see Saurav Ghosal using his wrists. Getting pressure in the backhand.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Lucky at the end, hitting the back wall nick. That has to be his ploy,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54getting it into Peter Barker's backhands. He is so quick from there

2:15:55 > 2:15:54to the front of the court. He has backhands. He is so quick from there

2:15:55 > 2:15:54direction with the racket. That is the route towards winning the match.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54All square. Saurav Ghosal to serve in the third game.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54That was a great change of direction.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Saurav Ghosal did well in the rally, getting Peter Barker

2:15:55 > 2:15:54off-balance. Had an opportunity to stick it in straight halfway through

2:15:55 > 2:15:54for the winner. Just overdid it a little bit. Certainly, a nice ploy

2:15:55 > 2:15:54to break up the movement and pattern of Peter Barker.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Peter Barker thinking he picked up the ball just fine. But, the referee

2:15:55 > 2:15:54disagrees. And so Saurav Ghosal goes into a 2-1 and is now 3-1 lead. It

2:15:55 > 2:15:54is interesting at the start of this game at 1-1. Very psychological. No

2:15:55 > 2:15:54secrets. Both players know the tactic they need to use. It is how

2:15:55 > 2:15:54well they manage to do it and how well they managed to nullify the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54strengths of the other player. That was a lovely shot. He took the ball

2:15:55 > 2:15:54deep to the back corner. APPLAUSE Saurav Ghosal managed to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54use his forehand volley nicely but this area, for Peter Barker, it is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54deadly. Takes the lead in this third game.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Saurav Ghosal lost a run of a couple of points. He has asked for the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54cleaners to come on. Is that possibly, sometimes, to break up the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54play? It is possible, it could be used like that, like an injury

2:15:55 > 2:15:54break. I do not think that is necessarily the case this time. But

2:15:55 > 2:15:54with them running around, sweating, it gets quite dangerous after a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54while and they do not want to risk injury.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Saurav Ghosal, from 3-1 up, now 6-3 down.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54is indeed. It is absolutely glorious. The sun is shining and we

2:15:55 > 2:15:54have got a sell-out crowd. Paul Foster and Alex Marshall against

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Malaysia. Both of them are very good friends and MBEs. They form a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54fabulous peer. They won the men's pairs in Melbourne each years ago.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54it was a disappointment as Scotland did not win a medal. They will win a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54medal this year, will it be gold? It is -- it is as if these two men

2:15:55 > 2:15:54are the talismanic for the Scottish team. It depends on not only the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54medal but how the team react to it as well. Great record and this would

2:15:55 > 2:15:54That got a little touch on the Jack as well.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54We will have a good look at it. It is very close. It will slightly

2:15:55 > 2:15:54favour Malaysia but it will slightly favour Malaysia but. This is the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54bowl coming end and it lifted it away. -- coming in.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54He is trotting after this. He fancies this one. He is very close.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54It is there It is about three yards out. Once Alex Marshall starts

2:15:55 > 2:15:54running after that, you know that he is in the area. No point in wasting

2:15:55 > 2:15:54energy effort is not going to be close. Very, very successful.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Indoors and outdoors. That looked like it was an important bowl.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Scotland are off and running thanks to Alex Marshall. Alex Marshall is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54known as Tattie. That is his nickname. A lot of people thought it

2:15:55 > 2:15:54was because he liked nickname. A lot of people thought it

2:15:55 > 2:15:54was because he potatoes but that was the same name as his father. It has

2:15:55 > 2:15:54absolutely nothing to do with potatoes.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54We will stick to calling them Paul and Alex.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54That was a good reply by Paul Foster. That is good bowling. That

2:15:55 > 2:15:54is what you want against players of this calibre. That is a better line,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54mate. Down, Paul. That is better. It tucks in. As the coach watches on.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54mate. Down, Paul. That is better. It for Scotland. Two Meadows was the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54target. Fairly simple I would've thought concerning the panel that

2:15:55 > 2:15:54they have got. Good play from both lead-off men. If

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the standard had been two gold medals it could've been more

2:15:55 > 2:15:54pressure. Alex Marshall and Paul Foster, with others to come, it is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Diane in the middle of the He has the perfect line with that.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Very similar blue ball used by the Malaysian skipper. The Scottish ball

2:15:55 > 2:15:54is similar with Malaysian skipper. The Scottish ball

2:15:55 > 2:15:54difficult to pick up on the different coloured stickers.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54I fought the skip might come up and have a look at this. The left-hander

2:15:55 > 2:15:54is playing a running ball on his backhand. It looked like his

2:15:55 > 2:15:54backhand. That was a surprise because that looked like a very

2:15:55 > 2:15:54narrow angle on the forehand. It looked like he would line it up on

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the other side. He has played a very controlled shot. The Malaysian

2:15:55 > 2:15:54support getting excited. They have became very noisy if the get

2:15:55 > 2:15:54anywhere near winning this match. They know how to support the team.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Trotting again after the bowl. Needs to pass the front. No damage done

2:15:55 > 2:15:54with that one. There they are. The Malaysian

2:15:55 > 2:15:54support. There are more than just that. Wearing dark sunglasses. They

2:15:55 > 2:15:54look very smart. I am sure it is a big industry down near, they have

2:15:55 > 2:15:54got the weather for it in Malaysia. Wrong side of the bowl and dropped

2:15:55 > 2:15:54away. We're not sure about the second. Never certain about that.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Conceded two. That is what the officials of the four, you can even

2:15:55 > 2:15:54get down and measure of yourself. If it is close then you can call in the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54umpire. -- what the officials are there for. It is a solid start for

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Alex Marshall and Paul Foster. Three shots on the board. Malaysia have to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54be careful that Scotland do not get out of the blocks and get away from

2:15:55 > 2:15:54them. They will not take them back if they get away, especially with

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the crowd support. The Commonwealth Games peers is the missing link for

2:15:55 > 2:15:54these two men. They have won everything they want to win in the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54game. As a pair and Alex Marshall has already got gold. This would be

2:15:55 > 2:15:54extra special on home soil. During Australia, they were on the edge of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54going out against Malaysia. They had to pick up a four on the last end.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54They manage to get it. APPLAUSE

2:15:55 > 2:15:54That is a great delivery. They look very sharp at the moment. That is an

2:15:55 > 2:15:54easy action. Very good deliveries from Malaysia. They are coached by a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54man from Australia. Alex Marshall if he wins this would be a three-time

2:15:55 > 2:15:54gold-medal winner. That is very good again. That is what you expect from

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Paul Foster. Alex loves the sun, he really enjoys plays out there in the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54heat. Does not suit every player. He is close, very close. And there you

2:15:55 > 2:15:54go. Like shelling peas. They are in good form, confident, backed by the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54huge crowd. Early time former Asia. -- testing early time for Malaysia.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Giving the ball the chance to rest into the two bowls. Playing to the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54other side, this will sweep away very quickly. Oh dear. Even by

2:15:55 > 2:15:54dropping it in their, he needed a bit more weight to take something

2:15:55 > 2:15:54out. I do not believe Alex will play to it this time. Paul looking for a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54position bowled. He realises if the Jack moves out there he could be in

2:15:55 > 2:15:54real trouble so get something out there early. That is not bad at all.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54I think when you are best friends like this it helps as well, they

2:15:55 > 2:15:54have a fantastic relationship on the green. Better line, will he hold

2:15:55 > 2:15:54this? Not sure he has the weight, but good effort, very good effort.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54The inside bowl really needed to drop.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54If he wants to play this he can use that last bowl, Alex.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Just going inside. Good weight again.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Is he going to persevere on the same side? Well, now 31 years of age,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Fairul. Needs a lot of weight. And there it goes. Well, it looks like

2:15:55 > 2:15:54it is two. APPLAUSE

2:15:55 > 2:15:54It is a gentle but effective start for Scotland.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Long gestation period for the Scottish team. They had brought in

2:15:55 > 2:15:54David after what can only be described as a disaster in Delhi.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54They described as a disaster in Delhi.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54coach. It is a totally different team this time in terms of approach.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Some of the same people that David Gurley has moulded them into a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54cohesive team. Even the players that are not

2:15:55 > 2:15:54were sending messages after the selection just wishing them all the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54very best. On the social media sites. I think this is more about

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Scottish pride in bowls than anything else. Great bowl and again

2:15:55 > 2:15:54from pawn. It is a strong nation for bowls, Scotland, strength in depth.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54-- from Paul. This is a minimum bowls, Scotland, strength in depth.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54this length. They are. It is their favourite. Climbing all over the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Jack at this length. It is almost their default setting if things

2:15:55 > 2:15:54start to go wrong. When they are actually choosing it initially they

2:15:55 > 2:15:54start to go wrong. When they are must really feel they can put in a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54start to go wrong. When they are break. Goods line again. This is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54really good again. Brilliant stuff by Paul Foster. World-class play.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Alex will feed off that. These are warning signs for the Malaysia

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Dureau. Already. -- duo. Struggling for weight. Three short bowls. No

2:15:55 > 2:15:54back position. No great hit on Hyder, those short bowls will make

2:15:55 > 2:15:54it very difficult to strike. -- on either. Alex can go for another

2:15:55 > 2:15:54here. No need to go further back either. Alex can go for another

2:15:55 > 2:15:54one. Not at the moment. If he happens to be three or four flippers

2:15:55 > 2:15:54heavy that is fine. Interesting, on the forehand side. He must feel

2:15:55 > 2:15:54there is the shots to get that bowl wants of the Jack. -- onto the jack.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Interested spectator. I wonder where he is from.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54is useful bowl but the pressure is building. He does not want to leave

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the catch there. We'll continue on the forehand side, the blindside,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54really. There is no point, we'll be doing well leaving to get second

2:15:55 > 2:15:54shot out of this, never mind number one. Going deep again. If your

2:15:55 > 2:15:54league is getting in it is wonderful to think you can play position bowls

2:15:55 > 2:15:54after that. Interesting line. Not art. -- up. He has the back position

2:15:55 > 2:15:54covered now. I agree. How he wants to play it is very much up to him. I

2:15:55 > 2:15:54do not think he can do much better than just draw another one. The only

2:15:55 > 2:15:54problem is he does not want to leave a catch. Help the Malaysia skip. He

2:15:55 > 2:15:54just wants to come in on the backhand. He wants to get it to turn

2:15:55 > 2:15:54into the centre. It will do that on the back and put it is up to him.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Just so tempting to add another. It is the draw line. -- on the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54backhand. Not reaching with that one. No damage done. Still three

2:15:55 > 2:15:54shots to Scotland. Still all of the problems for Fairul trying to get in

2:15:55 > 2:15:54here. He needs good weight. He's not going to get back there. It will be

2:15:55 > 2:15:54three. Those early bowls of Paul Foster, Malaysia could not beat

2:15:55 > 2:15:54them. The signs are there already. What a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54start by Scotland. Four when he's gone. Opening bowl from Foster was

2:15:55 > 2:15:54brilliant. Set up the position. You just felt after winning that

2:15:55 > 2:15:54semifinal that Scotland would be up for this today. You just felt they

2:15:55 > 2:15:54would come out of the blocks quick and they have certainly done that.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54They have been two games in this series of matches where they looked

2:15:55 > 2:15:54like they were going out. And they managed to win. Some part of you

2:15:55 > 2:15:54must say, when you are lying in bed at night wondering, is my name on

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the trophy? South Africa in particular. Exactly, that was the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54one in the group when they were in real trouble. They pulled that one

2:15:55 > 2:15:54out of the fire. And a magnificent wind in the semi, marvellous game of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54bowls. -- win. APPLAUSE Little delay deciding which side to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54play. Does not want to touch the Malaysia bowl. He has given it a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54chance. Into a very good position. The ball falling back against the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54bias actually helped, kept it in line. Lots of close bowls at the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54moment from the Scottish duo. This one is going to Hook in, good bowl,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54very useful there. Very good play. Much the same as your last one.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Four-time world indoor bowls champion, Paul Foster, just missing

2:15:55 > 2:15:54his line. Prolific winner of televised events, Paul. Yes indeed,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54he has won everything on the world Bowls tour. Quite a few their

2:15:55 > 2:15:54players from Malaysia are police officers, I don't know why. At the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54moment he would like to get his handcuffs out and put them on Alex

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Marshall and Paul Foster. Stop them getting close to the Jack.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54What Malaysia need to do is win an end and change the length. Found a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54gap again. On another day he pushes it over to his own. Playing solid on

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the shop bowl. Interesting line in again. Well played. He dropped that

2:15:55 > 2:15:54one in nicely. That bowl fell back as well.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Trying hard. He did not get enough of his own bowl. Wanted a little bit

2:15:55 > 2:15:54more of it, half bowl would have been perfect, just got the edge. Bad

2:15:55 > 2:15:54luck again, any contact on the Jell-o would have been good. --

2:15:55 > 2:15:54yellow. That is a little tricky. I think Alex will play the same side.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54The only other problem, I think Malaysia have a deep back bowl. He

2:15:55 > 2:15:54might cover. He is looking to get deeper

2:15:55 > 2:15:54than that. That is just about perfect. He could play those all-day

2:15:55 > 2:15:54if he is given the David Gourlay, on his phone,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54checking his David has got an earpiece on so he

2:15:55 > 2:15:54can check on the Scottish team, where they are playing elsewhere.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Oh! He took out his own bowl. Well, that was unlucky. Very unfortunate,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54again, he could have got that bowl into the jack. He popped it down a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54hole, and he has got two. 10-0 after five, not looking good for Malaysia.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54You can determination, Scotland looking to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54put this to bed by half way if they can, stretching it out, to 10-0.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54It is hard enough against these guys as it is. Alex Marshall has had

2:15:55 > 2:15:54success in a number The support network that David

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Gourlay has built up around the Scottish team has helped

2:15:55 > 2:15:54considerably. Scottish team has helped

2:15:55 > 2:15:54successful partner for Alex Marshall. Yes, bowling in Scotland

2:15:55 > 2:15:54for many years has been strong, very experienced and another good

2:15:55 > 2:15:54addition to the backroom staff. They certainly pick good people.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54well done. They just cannot get on the scorecard at the moment,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Malaysia. Again, look at this, if it runs.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54What a line in. Lots of good bowls to be used, giving his skip lots of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54opportunities. That is all Alex needs, to be truthful. If Paul is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54lying a shot, a couple more roundabouts or alternatively, just

2:15:55 > 2:15:54three bowls in the area, Paul knows that Alex will change it and use

2:15:55 > 2:15:54those three bowls. Hiding under the flag. It is very

2:15:55 > 2:15:54warm out here. It is like a national pastime, guessing what is happening

2:15:55 > 2:15:54with the weather but it is considerably more than the 18

2:15:55 > 2:15:54degrees it was earlier. You can barely touched the desk in

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the commentary position, it is so hot. Break off it! But we are not

2:15:55 > 2:15:54complaining. Once again, Alex Marshall getting in. Views not

2:15:55 > 2:15:54complaining, he is enjoying himself. -- he is not complaining. A good

2:15:55 > 2:15:54weight again, just using the bowl. Something similar, any contact is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54good. Getting enough his own. Did it

2:15:55 > 2:15:54break? He did not want it to heavy but it bounced off the Malaysians

2:15:55 > 2:15:54bowl and was picked up again on the way through. When you are playing

2:15:55 > 2:15:54well, things go for you. Exacted, you played it really well, took the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54danger of way. -- he played it, took the danger away. He caught it on the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54way through. Never anything they could do out there.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Nothing to shout about at the moment, the Malaysians crowd. --

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Malaysians. I don't think he wants to disturb any of the goals in

2:15:55 > 2:15:54front. Definitely not. He wants to put this on the deep side, so if

2:15:55 > 2:15:54they attack it, they are going to be more than one down. I can't see him

2:15:55 > 2:15:54taking the bowl out without moving one of his own the jack.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54It's not a decision about going back. It is about making it more

2:15:55 > 2:15:54would going in front. Getting be solid. Oh, yes. Dear me.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54That is confidence for you, isn't it? Just resting it on the yellow

2:15:55 > 2:15:54bowl. Alex is flying at the moment. The Malaysians are under so much

2:15:55 > 2:15:54pressure. That is the second bowl, coming in, getting the jack. The

2:15:55 > 2:15:54crowd on their feet. It is all in the eyes, isn't it? A

2:15:55 > 2:15:54man ready for business. Lay will wind up for it. -- is they will.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Short bowls and he has hit one of his own, off to others. It looks

2:15:55 > 2:15:54like a double. -- off two others. Two more. This is a long run, now.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Yes, off target, still two down, 12-0, Scotland, after six ends. This

2:15:55 > 2:15:54is going away quick. They are really in control of this game, from the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54opening couple of ends. Powering through at the moment. They were hot

2:15:55 > 2:15:54favourites, how about that? But at the same time, Malaysia have got a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54good record in bowls over recent years. We fully expected them to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54pull back quickly and hard. But after the first couple of ends, it

2:15:55 > 2:15:54has not happened. It could have been a bit negative -- it has been a bit

2:15:55 > 2:15:54negative, to be true for. They are paying the price of being caught

2:15:55 > 2:15:54with short bowls on the last delivery. You can see what is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54happening. Paul Foster with another good opening bowl. Lots of them

2:15:55 > 2:15:54around the jack, lots of options. What a bowl this is. Like shelling

2:15:55 > 2:15:54peas. What a bowl this is. Like shelling

2:15:55 > 2:15:54had to do, pump the head full of bowls and leave the rest Alex

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Marshall. It sounds simple, doesn't it? It is, the way he is playing.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Good weight on that again, just inside the line.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Good weight on that again, just not worried about the yellow bowl

2:15:55 > 2:15:54front of the jack. He knows he will get round that. Look at this again.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54World class staff. Exhibition bowls, here. Exhibition bowls. In

2:15:55 > 2:15:54front of the perfect crowd. That is what I was talking

2:15:55 > 2:15:54front of the perfect crowd. That is everyone back home. It looks like

2:15:55 > 2:15:54front of the perfect crowd. That is effort. It was a good effort,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54front of the perfect crowd. That is the pressure they are putting on

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Malaysia at the moment, and after end. It is like a bowls juggernaut,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54these two. They get a head of steam up and off they go. It is going to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54take something to stop them. That was predictable, he had to go

2:15:55 > 2:15:54deep. You have two clear the road, you really must. They need to get

2:15:55 > 2:15:54hold of this jack. Even if they wing of the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54A big drive. A big mess. I wonder, will Alex be tempted with the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54blocker? There is no shot for the Malaysians. Either block it, there

2:15:55 > 2:15:54is hardly any point Malaysians. Either block it, there

2:15:55 > 2:15:54it, or else go deep, Malaysians. Either block it, there

2:15:55 > 2:15:54other. Deep on the other side of the rink. - won all the other. Both

2:15:55 > 2:15:54sides covered. Going for the re-spot, that is a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54sides covered. Going for the going for the re-spot position.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54sides covered. Going for the is a re-spot, if the jack goes dead.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54They can go again. He has changed weights. I can't believe he has done

2:15:55 > 2:15:54it. This will just rip across. Such a difficult job. We saw the lead

2:15:55 > 2:15:54playing it. Now they are in so much trouble. Alex Marshall and For the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54so far away, by ten ends, they will be in the distance. -- and fuzzy.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54They are dust covering B-side of the rink, now. Alex will not have an

2:15:55 > 2:15:54easier end than this, playing vision bowls. Will he go again or will he

2:15:55 > 2:15:54play the nice weight? Playing a rolling bowl, just a running bowl at

2:15:55 > 2:15:54it. It won't get down. Know, once you go out there, it is hard to get

2:15:55 > 2:15:54back. -- no, once you get. It looks like another double. And it is. Oh,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54my goodness. We thought they would win. Playing bowls like this, they

2:15:55 > 2:15:54make it look so easy in the process. 14-0 after seven ends. Now we get

2:15:55 > 2:15:54all the stats out, when was the last time we had a gold-medal match that

2:15:55 > 2:15:54was one against a zero? I can't remember one.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54between, round robin and stuff but never in a final. I feel slightly

2:15:55 > 2:15:54for Malaysia read the moment. Under pressure. They need to get hold of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the jack and change the length, that is the only chance they have. At the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54moment they are getting absolutely mullered at this length, for want of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54a better word. Like bantamweight is against heavyweights. Decent start

2:15:55 > 2:15:54again. Fighting hard here. Trying to stay with Paul. They have not been

2:15:55 > 2:15:54terrible but they are being overpowered. There is that element

2:15:55 > 2:15:54always want when you have got to chase the game, little touch here

2:15:55 > 2:15:54and there can be devastating to you. Nice weight and line again. The

2:15:55 > 2:15:54trouble is nothing is safe at the moment. If they can see the jack

2:15:55 > 2:15:54they will have a go. Looking good again, looking very good with this.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54As I said, nothing is safe out there. Not even that, it is every

2:15:55 > 2:15:54time, a sign when things are going well. They are playing the bowls and

2:15:55 > 2:15:54also dominating in every department. Chance with this. A good

2:15:55 > 2:15:54try. Yes, snuggled in behind. I think it might just be dropping

2:15:55 > 2:15:54away. Yes, come on my son he said, come on. Any daylight? I do not

2:15:55 > 2:15:54think we will be taking any option on that, it would be between the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54players. We are too far away. Another cover bowl. Trying to get in

2:15:55 > 2:15:54front of Paul Foster. Probably did not have the pace on that ball to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54get back. If you are Malaysia you have to reach onto this. Get bowl

2:15:55 > 2:15:54onto jack and squeeze it onto the yellow bowls. If that bowl is hit

2:15:55 > 2:15:54square in the face, as we see Jan Marshall enjoying the sunshine.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Here's online, you see. That will not help the next effort. Alex does

2:15:55 > 2:15:54not have a lot to do here. Why bother? I do not think I would

2:15:55 > 2:15:54bother, just leave it. The only thing he wants to make sure is that

2:15:55 > 2:15:54he is definitely lying but I think he must be from his previous

2:15:55 > 2:15:54delivery. He is going on to the backhand which would suggest he

2:15:55 > 2:15:54might be trying to draw the yellow bowl. He must have shot against him

2:15:55 > 2:15:54if he is playing this. Surely he is not going to get this? Good grief.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54He was very close. Just a little over the weight he wanted. Puff of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the cheeks, he thought he was close to it. Well, if Malaysia is playing

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the last bowl it might be against him, don't know what he can do

2:15:55 > 2:15:54except a little tab on it. Position at the back is no good. Has got a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54chance. There is the front bowl we were talking about.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Played ends, no shot. It was tired, does not happen very often. --

2:15:55 > 2:15:54tied. No score from that ends. Both bowls words touching the jack. So

2:15:55 > 2:15:54both players were trying to reach it. Does not happen very often.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Scotland will keep the same length, they won the previous ends.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Scotland will keep the same length, in the pairs and once again in

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Christchurch in the World Championships. He has been around,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54this guy, he knows the game. Championships. He has been around,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54for major championships. Even getting selected is the pretty tough

2:15:55 > 2:15:54situation. Yes, if you perform well, they have got a good record in

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Commonwealth Games. They have done well here in the pairs. Relatively

2:15:55 > 2:15:54loose ends for Paul Foster. Obviously he is human. That is the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54just -- adjustment. Will not have a bad ends with three bowls. Past the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54front, it is good, well played with this. That is a good bowl again,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54three good bowls. bowl. Close to the disc. Two shots

2:15:55 > 2:15:54out of that. That is worse. Dear me. Well, he has

2:15:55 > 2:15:54tucked it in round the corner. He has narrowed the target. Has not got

2:15:55 > 2:15:54a lot on now. Just played over the weight. Made it almost impossible,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54hasn't it. That was predictable. If he taps this, this is just horrible

2:15:55 > 2:15:54for the Malaysians. Everything has gone wrong. The only thing I can see

2:15:55 > 2:15:54is the dead draw off the side and falling. That is very difficult.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54That was the problem, too keen to reach. APPLAUSE

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Well, I give this another three ends. Maybe four at the most. I know

2:15:55 > 2:15:54they are meant to come off, at least wait until it is mathematically

2:15:55 > 2:15:54impossible, but this is steam roller stuff. First bowl just turning. They

2:15:55 > 2:15:54are just not playing well. They would have had to be on the top game

2:15:55 > 2:15:54to compete with cheese to. They are some distance off it. It is one of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54those things. -- with these two. I think really they have not been

2:15:55 > 2:15:54allowed to play today. Not allowed to head their straps. Under pressure

2:15:55 > 2:15:54from the start of the game. A lot of credits to the Scots duo. Second

2:15:55 > 2:15:54gold for Paul. Alex has got a few. APPLAUSE

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Inside the line now. You feel they are starting to get a little

2:15:55 > 2:15:54frustrated. It gets to the point really where you are playing for

2:15:55 > 2:15:54pride. That is a good contact. Will it pass the front? That is well

2:15:55 > 2:15:54played. That was very well played. APPLAUSE

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Sympathy cheering there. Yes, he played good weight, got the touch.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54It fell out, he was unlucky. If it had fallen in it was a lot better,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Alex can see this. He can just arrive into this, bowl away. That is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54what he is trying. Any contact on his own is good. He has opened the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54door, now, to the two Malaysian bowls. Alex Marshall has won two

2:15:55 > 2:15:54gold medals before. -- before, at the Commonwealth Games but this is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the missing link for him as far as he is concerned. He said this would

2:15:55 > 2:15:54top absolutely anything he has ever done before, to win a gold medal

2:15:55 > 2:15:54here, with Paul. -- with Paul, in Scotland. At 16-0, you get the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54impression he's going to make it. That is a good bowl. Very good

2:15:55 > 2:15:54delivery. Lining it up for the split, splitting the two bowls away.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54I think so, controlled weight through the channel on the backhand.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Seven inches, seven and a half. A little smile and a bit of humour,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54from Paul. He is in the area with this. It is in the area. And the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54run-through. Got it. It has dropped, also. This is getting worse and

2:15:55 > 2:15:54worse for Malaysia. The first time they looked to have a half decent

2:15:55 > 2:15:54head, and were lying three shots, Alex Marshall with a little punch

2:15:55 > 2:15:54shot, dropping through and running in for another one. It is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54heartbreaking for Malaysia, there. They have played a good end. That is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54too heavy and wide. They cannot do anything with that one. They have to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54go for a cover, I think. Even getting the jack back would be

2:15:55 > 2:15:54awkward. I think he needs one off to the side. They must be thinking,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54"what have we got to do to get a shot? To get on the scoreboard?"

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Unbelievable. Perform a miracle, might be good. At the moment,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54nothing is happening for them. It is quite sad, actually. They have

2:15:55 > 2:15:54played very well to get to this stage and at the moment, they are

2:15:55 > 2:15:54just not competing. They started well, but again, Marshall has come

2:15:55 > 2:15:54in and play daybreak bowl. There is the cover, wide enough and deep. --

2:15:55 > 2:15:54played a brilliant bowl. Well, they need a really good bowl, Malaysia,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54just to try to get something on the card. Get hold of the jack and

2:15:55 > 2:15:54change the links. Big drive, going for the big hit.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Nothing there, really. Big drive, going for the big hit.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54look good, one onto one. Dutiful bowl by Alex Marshall, his second

2:15:55 > 2:15:54delivery securing the single. -- beautiful bowl. Yes, it is solid and

2:15:55 > 2:15:54he gets the fall in. It was not so much even the role in all forward

2:15:55 > 2:15:54but the drop in. That was the critical part. His wife, Diane,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54showing her delight at that bowl. There won't be too many

2:15:55 > 2:15:54celebrations, I was going to say, if they win this, but it is beginning

2:15:55 > 2:15:54to look like when they win it. Unless they fall apart, which is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54highly unlikely. That scoreline, 17-0 after ten

2:15:55 > 2:15:54ends. Who could have predicted that? Yes, the damage has been done with

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the shortly jack. Malaysia cannot get hold of the jack onto the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54length. -- short length jack. I made reference to some of my stuff on the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54length. -- short length jack. I made computer. I am racking my brains at

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the moment to think if there has ever been a whitewash. Between you

2:15:55 > 2:15:54and me, we have probably covered most of the Commonwealth Games

2:15:55 > 2:15:54member it. -- I don't think either of us camera member it. You

2:15:55 > 2:15:54member it. -- I don't think either don't happen for Malaysia's sake

2:15:55 > 2:15:54because to this stage, and they are very

2:15:55 > 2:15:54good bowlers to this stage, and they are very

2:15:55 > 2:15:54anyone against Marshall on foster if they are on a roll. Yes, they are

2:15:55 > 2:15:54starting to hit top form. It they are on a roll. Yes, they are

2:15:55 > 2:15:54respectable because they are much better than what we have

2:15:55 > 2:15:54respectable because they are much far. As I say, you

2:15:55 > 2:15:54respectable because they are much well as your opponent

2:15:55 > 2:15:54respectable because they are much and when they have held shots,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Marshall has recovered them. Brazil found that out recently!

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Marshall has recovered them. Brazil sympathy goal, though. A

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Marshall has recovered them. Brazil chance, now, to come in on the clear

2:15:55 > 2:15:54side. It looks under, again. It gets chance, now, to come in on the clear

2:15:55 > 2:15:54tougher and tougher, and even the most basic, simple shots start to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54look hard. That is the line in. High and hard.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54It needs to run to get inside contact.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Well, it is close. Very close to a shot, now.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54And intelligent bowl, you, just playing into the bowls, for a catch.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54-- here. He played it well, ignored the jack, effectively, ease the bowl

2:15:55 > 2:15:54out. A little side on touch, outside

2:15:55 > 2:15:54edge. That has probably taken a couple of. That was a good result.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54-- a couple off. Now, can they add another? Struggling. Alex will look

2:15:55 > 2:15:54to the bowl, I think. He has got the back position, Paul's Ball, sitting

2:15:55 > 2:15:54at the bottom of the picture. They also have one to the side. Certainly

2:15:55 > 2:15:54worth arriving at it with a little bit of weight. That will do the job.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54They have to be careful because they don't want to give Malaysia any more

2:15:55 > 2:15:54than one. They will keep it very tight at this stage.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54A good line, again. Now this is a good line. He has got the weight and

2:15:55 > 2:15:54he is close. He needs to punch it in and he has, pushed it in for the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54shot. It does not really matter how he puts them down, he is going to

2:15:55 > 2:15:54get it. He was very close to coming in and always a chance of pushing

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the short bowl in for the shot and he hit it perfectly. So many

2:15:55 > 2:15:54chances, to bowls in front, gets the inside bowl onto the jack. Lots of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54opportunities all the time, lots of options. That is where Fawzi is so

2:15:55 > 2:15:54good, even if he does not have the shot, he has bowls all-round, giving

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Alex Beecher to get into things. But has the run-off? I think he might

2:15:55 > 2:15:54have run through the head. That is Alex's second bowl that he tapped on

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the outside one. That is when you know it is not going to be your day.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54the outside one. That is when you know it is He played a really good

2:15:55 > 2:15:54bowl, there, and got absolutely nothing for it. You can see this is

2:15:55 > 2:15:54a solid connection. It is rolled through and you are still one down.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Sundays, it does not pay to get out of bed. -- some days. Certainly

2:15:55 > 2:15:54today, that is going to be the case. But they are still getting the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54silver medal, no matter what, which is a big achievement. You have two

2:15:55 > 2:15:54very mind -- bear in mind that 15 years ago, Malaysia had nothing in

2:15:55 > 2:15:54terms of bowls. Since then, they have won gold, silver and bronze on

2:15:55 > 2:15:54a regular basis. Look at this for a start, again,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54almost clipping the jack. It must feel good out in the sun, in

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Glasgow, in your home country. And playing so well, and the opposition

2:15:55 > 2:15:54not really on form, and you are cruising.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54You also know that even if you have an indifferent end, you have got one

2:15:55 > 2:15:54of the best coming after you. A great position to be in at the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54moment. Just finding the gap, good bowl,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54handy bowl, there. Just dropping inside. Again, three

2:15:55 > 2:15:54bowls in the area. In other pairs matches, people have dropped maybe

2:15:55 > 2:15:54two yards short or gone two yards through. Identity that has happened

2:15:55 > 2:15:54to Paul Foster in any end so far. It certainly has not happened with

2:15:55 > 2:15:54three bowls. That is the secret. He has something in the end all the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54time. That is not bad but Alex will draw inside those. You get to the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54point where you are expecting him to nail the jack get something. Or

2:15:55 > 2:15:54missed the jack and tapped the yellow one and make three out of it.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54The crowd, enjoying their drinks. A nice bottle of wine. A lovely

2:15:55 > 2:15:54afternoon. Stop it, John! It is close, for weight. We are on the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54chilled water. A couple of feet, there. I'm amazed he was that

2:15:55 > 2:15:54far-away. -- far away. Just a little bit on the short side,

2:15:55 > 2:15:54as well. It does not really make any difference. It is a chance to go up

2:15:55 > 2:15:54and turn the jack. It is not a bad bowl but he cannot kill it off. Alex

2:15:55 > 2:15:54gets another chance and you feel you will be close again. You would

2:15:55 > 2:15:54certainly expect this to be closer. And it is. That is going be to the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54one. He would not miss it twice, would he?

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Inside line. Getting a push on his own bowl. Good effort, the wait was

2:15:55 > 2:15:54good, and just inside it, better if he had pushed his bowl with that

2:15:55 > 2:15:54kind of weight. Alex, to draw again, just to adjust his line slightly.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54This is in line. It needs a touch of the front. Just going under. But it

2:15:55 > 2:15:54did not hit the opposition. Playing well, but everything upon everything

2:15:55 > 2:15:54is going right. A little chance that he could draw the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54is going right. A little chance that shot. It has got to be better, this

2:15:55 > 2:15:54time. Very close with this. Very close. He has got it. He has got the

2:15:55 > 2:15:54gap, no, he has run through. It still looks like one, to Scotland.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54You are kind of hoping that it was going to hold up and they would get

2:15:55 > 2:15:54a single. Marshall and Paul Foster will win.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Unfortunately we will leave that match there. want to see the end of

2:15:55 > 2:15:54it, Unfortunately we will leave that

2:15:55 > 2:15:54match there. want to see the hit the Unfortunately we will leave that

2:15:55 > 2:15:54red button or go to the website. The reason we are leaving, we have a

2:15:55 > 2:15:54pretty important hockey match to get to, and I am not taking you there.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54pretty important hockey match to get to, and I am not taking you He is.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54This is a relatively boring segment to my start of the programme.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54Compared to where you were this morning.

2:15:55 > 2:15:54to my start of the programme. Compared to where you were this I

2:15:55 > 2:15:54was up at the top of the crane. I thought there was a lift, it turns

2:15:55 > 2:15:54out there is no lift. I was hot and sweaty when I got to the top. Well

2:15:55 > 2:15:54done to you, we will see you tomorrow. Yes, have a good

2:15:55 > 2:15:54afternoon. It is a wonderful afternoon on day

2:15:55 > 2:15:54five. Plenty coming your way between now and 7pm. We have a mouthwatering

2:15:55 > 2:15:55hockey clash at next, England's women taking on
