It is a wonderful afternoon on day five. Plenty coming your way between

:00:00.:00:09.

now and 7pm. We have a mouthwatering hockey clash at next, England's

:00:10.:00:12.

women taking on Australia. The boxing has been terrific so far.

:00:13.:00:26.

Sean McGoldrick is facing an historic second Commonwealth gold.

:00:27.:00:28.

We will see if he progresses beyond the round of 16. As the afternoon

:00:29.:00:39.

We will see if he progresses beyond badminton. Rebecca Tyler

:00:40.:00:39.

We will see if he progresses beyond a shout for a medal in the women's

:00:40.:00:50.

69 kilograms weightlifting. Some really great sport under way. What

:00:51.:00:59.

better way to start the match than a great women's hockey match? The

:01:00.:01:04.

Aussies have wrapped up 22 gold medals. The winners had a great

:01:05.:01:10.

chance of topping the group. Let's join our commentators.

:01:11.:01:21.

COMMENTATOR: Carrie McMahon celebrating her 50th cap for

:01:22.:01:29.

Australia this afternoon. So this is the move that the

:01:30.:01:56.

Australians like to employ before they get going. The huddle is a

:01:57.:02:03.

place of secrecy. Sometimes the cameras are allowed in, but not

:02:04.:02:17.

today. We are ready to go. I am alongside Mel Clewlow, who I know is

:02:18.:02:20.

very much looking forward to this match. WHISTLE

:02:21.:02:26.

Me and everyone else at home, I think. We are under way. Australia

:02:27.:02:30.

in green and gold, playing from left-to-right. England in red and

:02:31.:02:37.

white, their traditional colours, attacking the goal to our left.

:02:38.:02:42.

Neither team has lost, neither team has conceded a goal. It could be the

:02:43.:02:48.

battle of the goalkeepers, Lynch of Australia against Hinch of England.

:02:49.:02:58.

In terms of height, the Australian Lynch wins it hands down.

:02:59.:03:09.

Brought forward by the captain. Donna Blyth. Now the captain, Katie

:03:10.:03:15.

Eastern. Held up by Sam Querrey. -- held up by Sam Quek. Susie

:03:16.:03:34.

Gilbert still going. Runs into space. The pass was illegally

:03:35.:03:42.

stolen. It was by the Australian, Georgina Parker. Diagonal ball

:03:43.:03:58.

across, Sam Quek I'm able to control that. Claxton for Australia. That is

:03:59.:04:10.

a big mistake for Australia. White shirts in front. Long corner for

:04:11.:04:20.

England. Good work through. In the end, two Australian shirts doing the

:04:21.:04:29.

tackling. Richardson-Walsh getting a stick on the ball but it is green

:04:30.:04:33.

and gold on the right with Claxton, a little look up, intercepted by

:04:34.:04:44.

England. The ball spread from one side to the other. Flanagan down the

:04:45.:04:50.

left-hand side for Australia, goes past one, finds the edge of the Dee,

:04:51.:04:56.

a little turn, shot at goal, not enough pace on it to trouble the

:04:57.:05:01.

England defenders. Bone for Australia. Kenny for Australia.

:05:02.:05:15.

Australia on the right firing that across, hits the top of the D.

:05:16.:05:32.

Madonna Blyth wanted that. Kenny again. Both sides taking a couple of

:05:33.:05:46.

minutes to settle down. Owsley makes a good tackle, runs herself into

:05:47.:05:54.

acres of space in the centre here. Back to the defence for England to

:05:55.:06:00.

build another meaningful attack. Owls Lee. Wearing number ten, Susie

:06:01.:06:08.

Gilbert, for England. Off an Australian foot. Danson. Always an

:06:09.:06:17.

air of excitement when she is on the ball, England well positioned here.

:06:18.:06:22.

It just needed to reach the stick of Susanna Townsend and it was behind

:06:23.:06:27.

her, agonisingly. Great play by England, Susanna Townsend, and Lily

:06:28.:06:47.

a heavy clash between Sam Quek and the Australian number two, Georgia.

:06:48.:07:00.

Kenny. Flanagan again. The two penalty corner specialists sharing

:07:01.:07:11.

possession for Australia. Into the D. Well rescued. A little look up,

:07:12.:07:17.

glance left, Lily Owsley is therefore England. Flat on her face.

:07:18.:07:26.

Looking for her stick and back on the pitch. Blyth, the Australia

:07:27.:07:33.

captain, scrambling away. Australia hit. Flanagan. Good work from

:07:34.:07:40.

Flanagan. Finds her way into space. It will be in trusting to see how

:07:41.:07:58.

much pitch time she gets and what times her spells are on the field.

:07:59.:08:08.

Georgie Twigg, with that nasty injury she picked up, struggled to

:08:09.:08:14.

walk for a couple of days. Here she is, Twigg. Her next touch let her

:08:15.:08:24.

down, here come Australia with numbers forward. Well rescued. What

:08:25.:08:29.

on the left for England, nice little sliding ball -- Watton. England in a

:08:30.:08:45.

great position, and a stumble. Barely Watton's attempt on goal --

:08:46.:08:58.

Ellie Watton. Both of the two attacking opportunities falling away

:08:59.:09:02.

of England. An encouraging start. Nice move from Townsend. Sent the

:09:03.:09:07.

ball round the player and she went round the other way, can she drill

:09:08.:09:13.

it in across the face of goal? It flashes in front of Rachel Lynch.

:09:14.:09:17.

Brilliant play. Susanna Townsend has been at the heart of both England

:09:18.:09:27.

opportunity so far. Ellie Watton with a bit more experience might

:09:28.:09:30.

have tried to take it around the goalkeeper. Fantastic by England so

:09:31.:09:34.

far and really positive to put this Australian defence under pressure.

:09:35.:09:37.

far and really positive to put this Up and over, attempted control by

:09:38.:09:45.

far and really positive to put this White. There is a White on

:09:46.:09:49.

far and really positive to put this side. Nicola White for England.

:09:50.:09:57.

Kelli White for Australia full stop that one is bouncing beyond Alex

Danson that one is bouncing beyond Alex

:10:26.:10:35.

back there covering for England. A good pass from Parker but

:10:36.:10:43.

back there covering for England. A unfortunately Wood unable to control

:10:44.:10:44.

it. Jodie Kenny. Out to the left-hand

:10:45.:10:59.

side for Australia. A poor pass. A funeral is from both sides, with the

:11:00.:11:03.

basics in the early stages here. That is a good interception from

:11:04.:11:07.

Madonna Blyth. Georgie Twigg trying to make up for her mistake, all the

:11:08.:11:10.

way to the edge of the D. Strong position for Australia, can she

:11:11.:11:20.

unload here? It is clear. Excellent run from J Taylor, the Australian

:11:21.:11:41.

number 21 -- Jayde Taylor. Jodie Kenny trills it

:11:42.:11:42.

number 21 -- Jayde Taylor. Jodie one was just too hot to handle,

:11:43.:11:45.

three bounces before stick of White, and went behind.

:11:46.:11:53.

Richardson-Walsh taking it on. It is not a surprise that

:11:54.:12:11.

Richardson-Walsh with It is not a surprise that

:12:12.:12:19.

when England play as well, she plays well, Alex Danson plays well.

:12:20.:12:28.

when England play as well, she plays seems to me that the formations they

:12:29.:12:32.

are playing sued both of those players.

:12:33.:12:32.

are playing sued both of those moment. A penalty corner, the first

:12:33.:12:40.

of the match. Jayde Taylor was bundled off the ball. It clipped an

:12:41.:12:46.

England foot. Let's have another look at this with Mel Clewlow. Yes,

:12:47.:12:52.

Hollie Webb did the right thing in trying to close down. Unfortunately

:12:53.:12:57.

just off-balance, she jabbed the ball, it has ended up on her foot.

:12:58.:13:04.

So, it is time to watch out for Jodie Kenny, the number seven, for

:13:05.:13:09.

Australia, and Anna Flanagan, who wears number nine. They will be

:13:10.:13:16.

looking for a little bit of power and pace to put pressure on the

:13:17.:13:20.

England defender. Here we go, the first penalty corner of the game,

:13:21.:13:22.

England defender. Here we go, the first penalty corner of the it is

:13:23.:13:31.

Kenny, it is 1-0! Hinch of England beaten for the first time in the

:13:32.:13:35.

Commonwealth Games tournament. Jodie Kenny gets the opening goal of the

:13:36.:13:39.

match. Absolutely brilliant by Kenny. She has scored seven in this

:13:40.:13:44.

tournament already, all of the ones against Scotland, interestingly

:13:45.:13:48.

enough, went stick side of Amy Gibson in goal. This time she has

:13:49.:13:52.

opted to go above the heads of the post players. Fantastic return,

:13:53.:14:01.

eight goals in her fourth game. Australia 1-0 England. Australia are

:14:02.:14:05.

off to a flying start, although to be fair England have had the better

:14:06.:14:08.

attacking opportunities. Twigg. defence. Australia starting to build

:14:09.:14:31.

up a head of steam. Claxton down the right-hand side. Richardson-Walsh

:14:32.:14:53.

tidy it up. A mistake there, terrible news for England, England

:14:54.:15:02.

2-0 down. The mistake by Smith. Richardson-Walsh trying to play it

:15:03.:15:06.

across the circle. Initially a good save, Emily Smith making it 2-0.

:15:07.:15:16.

England making such a bright start, the counterpunch from Australia,

:15:17.:15:21.

that is why they are one of the best teams in the world. England looking

:15:22.:15:27.

for a reply, a swing and miss from Gilbert. Flat on her face. A

:15:28.:15:54.

determined effort, good response. Scotland put Australia's back four

:15:55.:16:01.

under pressure, they had opportunities, but could not make

:16:02.:16:12.

them count. England claim for the short corner, but possession is with

:16:13.:16:28.

Australia. I write. -- that one is high and wide. Lucy would on the

:16:29.:16:40.

sidelines, she has ice on her shoulder. -- Lucy Wood. Alex Danson

:16:41.:16:56.

waiting to come on, she could make the difference this afternoon. They

:16:57.:17:04.

desperately need a goal. We saw Scotland's men going down 2-0 to

:17:05.:17:10.

Wales, before fighting back to win it for-3. -- to win it for-3. --

for-macro-3. Ashlee Nelson, Bowden behind her.

:17:29.:18:02.

Spread wide to Madonna Blyth. A moment of respite for England. Sam

:18:03.:18:12.

Quek is on the bench, Alex Danson on the field, England need to find her.

:18:13.:18:23.

A card is being shown. The first one of the match.

:18:24.:18:33.

Let's break from the hockey. We left the bowls, Scotland in total

:18:34.:18:42.

control, Malaysia throwing in the towel before the 18 ends. That is

:18:43.:18:51.

now a team gold medals for Scotland. Champions of the lawn bowls pairs.

:18:52.:19:03.

-- now 18 gold medals. Back to our commentators, Matt and Mel.

:19:04.:19:12.

The advantage has gone for the moment. England still in the power

:19:13.:19:19.

play situation, one player over. Only for another 60 seconds.

:19:20.:19:50.

Flannigan. Gilbert. Unsworth, finding Wood. Richardson-Walsh.

:19:51.:20:04.

Alex Danson, she needs some service, good shot, just wide. That was

:20:05.:20:16.

promising for England. Anna Flannigan, the three hits to

:20:17.:20:42.

Madonna Blyth. -- the free hit to Madonna Blyth. Tempting to go round

the player. Unsworth. Madonna Blyth. Tempting to go round

:20:49.:21:09.

intercepted, Australia have six forward. England backtracking.

:21:10.:21:17.

Penalty corner. England foot on the ball, we all know what the first

:21:18.:21:22.

penalty corner produced, a sensational finish from Jenning.

:21:23.:21:31.

Tried the 360. Richardson-Walsh with the handed down, the spin taking it

over the top of the stick onto the foot. Australia leading 2-0. Nelson

Flannigan. Who will get the opportunity? It comes to

Flannigan. Who will get the out of danger yet. England

:22:01.:22:04.

possession. No further damage inflicted. That will be a confidence

:22:05.:22:18.

booster for the English defence. They have clearly done her -- their

:22:19.:22:25.

homework. The

:22:26.:22:38.

the English player in possession. Suddenly the white shirt

:22:39.:22:46.

surrounded by three golden shirts. Kate Richardson-Walsh, the captain,

:22:47.:22:50.

nice work from Kate Richardson-Walsh, the captain,

upfield. Another solid move forward, they get their kit. -- they get the

:23:04.:23:16.

upfield. Another solid move forward, free hit. She took one on the side

:23:17.:23:28.

for England. Squealing as she hobbles back into position. That one

:23:29.:23:50.

would have hurt. Kenny, flying down the right-hand side. That one is

:23:51.:24:06.

kept in. Unsworth trying to tidy up, winning possession for England.

:24:07.:24:15.

Over the top, higher, up, winning possession for England.

:24:16.:24:24.

Kenny has it under control. It bounces kindly for Flannigan.

:24:25.:24:37.

Taylor. Inside the D, can she get it across? England possession. Damage

:24:38.:24:50.

limitation there. Sam Quek, on the right for England. Taking it on,

:24:51.:24:59.

getting the heat in. Spotting Unsworth. -- hit.

:25:00.:25:16.

It is the speed of the Australian attack which is so impressive, just

:25:17.:25:24.

before the halfway line they spring into life. The pace they are running

:25:25.:25:31.

with, something they will do for the full 70 minutes. Gilbert, wriggling

:25:32.:25:40.

away out of trouble. Finding Georgi twigged. Can Danson get the shot in?

:25:41.:26:06.

Unlucky. -- Georgie Twigg. The Australian supporters know that Alex

:26:07.:26:15.

Danson can turn a match. Shipperley was tripped. Accidental is the call

:26:16.:26:25.

from umpire Sarah Wilson. Too many passes missing the target for

:26:26.:26:29.

England. Another one going astray there from the England captain,

:26:30.:26:36.

Richardson-Walsh has not had a great first half so far.

:26:37.:26:51.

Kenny, Flannigan tipping it forward. Owsley, weaving her way through.

:26:52.:27:04.

Good start from her. That is a high cross. One of the Australians taking

:27:05.:27:15.

it in the chest. Karim El Ahmadi winning her 50th cap. -- Carrie

:27:16.:27:42.

McMahon. Flannigan on the left-hand side.

:27:43.:28:08.

That one was right across the turf. Lucy Wood. Sam Quek need some help.

:28:09.:28:16.

Owsley, Shipperley, I beg your pardon. This is Taylor, for

:28:17.:28:24.

Australia. A good pick-up from Sam Quek. Nice trap. Can they feigned

:28:25.:28:37.

Owsley? -- can they find. Not enough on it to pick up Sophie Bray. Owsley

:28:38.:28:43.

is held up, the shot on goal just wide. Lily Owsley taking into the

:28:44.:28:54.

Australians. Fantastic stick skills, leading up into this unfortunately,

:28:55.:28:58.

the ball just bounced before she made contact with it. She tried to

:28:59.:29:02.

hit it off her right foot, which meant the ball was probably always

:29:03.:29:06.

going to go towards that right post, but a really bright couple of

:29:07.:29:11.

minutes for Lily Owsley. Laura Unsworth in a little bit of space on

:29:12.:29:16.

the left. Yes, a lack of telepathic communication between the England

:29:17.:29:24.

players there. This one is high, and illegal. Gilbert. Unsworth. Unsworth

:29:25.:29:35.

runs a false call, and finds the captain. -- a full circle and finds

:29:36.:29:40.

the captain. That one spinning off an England

:29:41.:30:03.

leg. Danson coming back on for England now, number 15. She takes

:30:04.:30:05.

her place back on the pitch. Kenny, the scorer of Australia's

:30:06.:30:17.

first. Another highball. The umpire said about halfway about

:30:18.:30:42.

ten times each, before the players got into the right position. Just

:30:43.:30:49.

over the stick of Alex Danson. A difficult one. Anna Flanagan for

:30:50.:31:01.

Australia. In no rush to go forward here. Jodie Kenny and Flanagan just

:31:02.:31:18.

sharing possession between them. Hi Paul -- a highball, Georgie Twigg

:31:19.:31:21.

takes it down, just about controls it. Kate Richardson-Walsh having to

:31:22.:31:29.

head back into the centre circle. Now Twigg has a bit of space on the

:31:30.:31:35.

left. Danson picks it up, good acceleration from her, she finds

:31:36.:31:38.

space and then drops forward, hoping for some service.

:31:39.:31:50.

Webb. Pass intercepted. Zoe Shipperley's pass stolen

:31:51.:32:03.

Webb. Pass intercepted. Zoe Australians, and she is back trying

:32:04.:32:06.

to regain possession. She has Australians, and she is back trying

:32:07.:32:13.

well. Unsworth again. Townsend. Australians, and she is back trying

:32:14.:32:25.

is a tough one for Lily Owsley to control. Bouncing right at her feet.

:32:26.:32:36.

Because it bounced so close to her, it would have been extremely

:32:37.:32:45.

difficult to track. The last five minutes of the half. Australia 2-0

:32:46.:32:53.

England. And the Australians getting the decision there from the umpire

:32:54.:33:03.

from New Zealand. Kenny. Flanagan wants it on this right-hand side,

:33:04.:33:10.

she might get it via Madonna Blyth. A weave inside from Anna Flanagan,

:33:11.:33:12.

she might get it via Madonna Blyth. A weave inside from Anna flick over

:33:13.:33:15.

the top. Richardson-Walsh there to tidy up for England.

:33:16.:33:30.

Unsworth. good speed down the left-hand side

:33:31.:33:52.

Unsworth. times, playing a

:33:53.:34:00.

Unsworth. Robbed again. White looking to her

:34:01.:34:00.

right. Australia again, with Smith. Robbed again. White looking to her

:34:01.:34:08.

Australia still forward. This Robbed again. White looking to her

:34:09.:34:15.

the moment. A chance for Australia, looking for a foot and they get the

:34:16.:34:19.

the moment. A chance for Australia, penalty corner, that is what they

:34:20.:34:26.

wanted. Again, England are guilty of giving the ball away in their

:34:27.:34:29.

defensive third. Hollie Webb this time. This is just great

:34:30.:34:36.

Kellie White, spinning on a sixpence. Defensively you don't know

:34:37.:34:40.

whether to put the tackle income whether to go flat, whether to stay

:34:41.:34:43.

high. Let's be honest, the Australian penalty corner routine is

:34:44.:34:49.

phenomenal, so why not put it on the foot? Flanagan is not on the field

:34:50.:34:58.

at the moment so it looks like Kenny might have

:34:59.:35:06.

Here she goes bust up good Maddie Hinch leaping to her left,

:35:07.:35:14.

getting a big padded glove on that ball. I think England will be happy

:35:15.:35:20.

to hear the half-time hooter but happier if they went in with a goal.

:35:21.:35:25.

At the moment, they are being forced to defend, as Australia come

:35:26.:35:33.

forward. Kenny. Right across the turf, that one physicist of the

:35:34.:35:40.

stick and behind. -- it fizzed off the stick.

:35:41.:35:49.

All the way back to the captain, Blyth.

:35:50.:36:09.

A good-looking cross, bouncing, dealt with nicely. Now, can England

:36:10.:36:20.

clear their lines? That is high. England get possession with just

:36:21.:36:27.

over a minute of the half to play. This is the penalty corner. Kenny

:36:28.:36:31.

going for the corner that she has already scored from. It is Laura

:36:32.:36:33.

Unsworth in the already scored from. It is Laura

:36:34.:36:37.

save, above her head. Maddie Hinch never touched it, I think she

:36:38.:36:39.

probably had it covered. That one has bounced kindly for

:36:40.:36:53.

England. They will just hope to run the clock down now with the last 35

:36:54.:37:00.

seconds of the half ticking away. Jenner. Danson putting pressure. So,

:37:01.:37:14.

England have 20 seconds to get upfield. And they will just want to

:37:15.:37:25.

hold possession now. And that will be that. So, at half-time Australia

:37:26.:37:35.

will go in 2-0 in front. APPLAUSE Jodie Kenny got the first. It was

:37:36.:37:41.

from the penalty corner. The second from Emily Smith. Australia off and

:37:42.:37:49.

running after a decent first half, where England had plenty of the

:37:50.:37:53.

possession, but in the end none of the luck. After the first 35-minute

:37:54.:37:57.

period of play, the scoreline here is Australia 2-0 England.

:37:58.:38:04.

A fascinating second-half to come from Glasgow. England have got it

:38:05.:38:09.

all to do, while here at Pacific tea, it is beautiful, Day five of

:38:10.:38:14.

2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games, and after a couple of cloudy days, the

:38:15.:38:20.

Sun has made its reappearance and it is glorious here in Glasgow. If you

:38:21.:38:26.

can just have a look at some of the people who have come out, a hive of

:38:27.:38:30.

activity, looking beautiful. Lots of kids enjoying their summer holidays,

of course. The ice cream van is doing some good as this is welcome

:38:35.:38:40.

and why not, because it is 25 or 26 degrees. The Indian heatwave that

:38:41.:38:43.

Scotland enjoy the couple of days ago is back in force. We are back on

:38:44.:38:47.

the Maloney Bridge, which only a few days ago was a hive of activity, a

:38:48.:38:53.

flotilla of boats came down the river hide. It was great to see,

:38:54.:39:01.

quite a spectacle. You can see a ship over in the distance. The grey

:39:02.:39:07.

and red ship. The Glen Lee. If I'm not mistaken. That is why it is

:39:08.:39:13.

called the macro that is what it is called. To paint the picture here on

:39:14.:39:19.

BBC Three if you are just joining us, 27 gold medals up for grabs. One

:39:20.:39:26.

of them has been won by team Scotland in the lawn bowls. That

:39:27.:39:32.

means Scotland are in third, as far as the medals table goes. Australia

:39:33.:39:35.

leading the way, and they have always been the powerhouses, in

:39:36.:39:42.

terms of the Commonwealth Games. England lagging behind on 60. You

:39:43.:39:49.

see Wales in eighth position, and already, five days into the

:39:50.:39:52.

Commonwealth Games and may have already beaten their tally of the

:39:53.:40:00.

games in Delhi for years ago. Hugely encouraging for Team Wales. There

:40:01.:40:04.

are also the sports available for you to watch via the BBC Sport

website. These are just some of them that you can see, if you go onto the

Commonwealth Games website. Weightlifting, hockey, netball, all

:40:15.:40:19.

of those you can see on the home page. As I said, you can take your

Campus, just down the River Clyde over my right shopper. England are

taking -- my right shoulder. England are taking on Singapore in a repeat

:40:56.:40:59.

of the table tennis final in jelly. Four years ago, England came away

:41:00.:41:03.

with the silver, so can they go one better this time around? They are

:41:04.:41:07.

1-0 down, and that is how we join the action.

:41:08.:41:15.

COMMENTATOR: They have looked very stonefaced throughout, good to see

:41:16.:41:20.

them relaxing up in the stands, watching their compatriots.

Li Hu, 26 years old, from China. He was the winner of the doubles in

:41:39.:41:53.

2013 Dubai, the United Arab and is, and also China in 2012. What a match

:41:54.:42:00.

it was in Dubai, they were down and out against the pair from Chinese

:42:01.:42:08.

Taipei. They came back to pit. An absolute sensational match. They

:42:09.:42:12.

were down in the seventh game, something like 7-3 -- they came back

:42:13.:42:17.

to it. It was one of the matches of the tournament. Going for the two

saying we want people to go away from care,

done table tennis proud here. So easy for anybody to play table

tennis. This is a must win easy for anybody to play table

:44:09.:44:22.

from team England's perspective. Maybe just a thought for England,

:44:23.:44:26.

remember the semifinal against India, a reverse scenario.

:44:27.:45:10.

Just a word from the umpire to Andrew Baddeley to move

:45:11.:45:22.

Just a word from the umpire to quicker. Many years ago you

:45:23.:46:27.

The line always effective played parallel.

:46:28.:47:22.

Still keeping their noses in front. This is a must win doubles. You are

grey and red tops. Singapore in already. -- in all red.

:47:48.:48:34.

School board symmetry, nothing between them in this first game. --

:48:35.:48:44.

scoreboard symmetry. That is what is at stake, a gold medal. At the

:48:45.:48:54.

Scottsdale campus. That was a little ambitious. The Singapore team

:48:55.:49:00.

starting to turn the screw. They are very good with the short play. It

:49:01.:49:08.

has been an admirable strategic selection from the team captain,

:49:09.:49:14.

giving this a lot of for Ft. -- giving it a lot of forethought. That

strategy brings them to gain points. He will be delighted, rather

stonefaced. arm away? Must have served on the

:49:27.:49:56.

wrong side. That took us all by surprise. Whatever has happened, the

Singapore team awarded the first game, 11-8. Let's have a look.

:50:03.:50:17.

If you want to continue watching coverage of the table tennis, that

:50:35.:50:39.

Lily Owsley providing the cross. Georgi Twigg getting possession.

:50:40.:51:14.

Here is Twigg. Good service, stopped. England stick on the ball.

:51:15.:51:27.

A stalemate. Australian possession. Lily Owsley unable to find an

:51:28.:51:36.

Australian foot. A high escape route, too far. Unsworth.

Debris. -- Twigg. Sam Quek with a bit of space, but escapes. England

minutes. Australia with the possession. Into the last half hour.

Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex joining us in the stadium.

:52:58.:53:12.

I believe the Countess of Wessex is the president of England hockey.

:53:13.:53:23.

For Australia in a threatening position. That could be an

:53:24.:53:31.

opportunity. England coming away unscathed. Flannigan's time on the

bench is ticking away. Sam Quek. Gilbert, nice work. Then she just

side. We need to get more people in the press. That makes it difficult

:55:12.:55:18.

for Owsley and Danson to break the Australians down. Flannigan came

:55:19.:55:23.

sprinting off the bench, getting Australians down. Flannigan came

:55:24.:55:27.

involved within one second of leaving her seat. Hollie Webb never

:55:28.:55:41.

saw her coming. Kenny is on the right.

:55:42.:56:01.

play. England steal it. They carry on. Looking for the Australian foot.

:56:02.:56:15.

England still in the right sort of area.

:56:16.:56:23.

England still in the right sort of tackle. If she had not

:56:24.:56:23.

England still in the right sort of the sidelines, she could have got

:56:24.:56:32.

England still in the right sort of green card. Flannigan has it.

Australia starting to build up a head of steam, once again. Gisele

:57:22.:57:36.

Ansley. Richardson-Walsh. That is picked up by Susannah Townsend.

:57:37.:57:40.

Australia are playing picked up by Susannah Townsend.

:57:41.:57:46.

when England get the ball, they are forcing them to the sidelines. That

:57:47.:57:52.

becomes an extra defender. They are just waiting for England to make the

:57:53.:57:53.

mistakes. The ball was taking high, put on the

:57:54.:58:31.

ground. England with five players forward. A lack of control from

:58:32.:58:43.

Shipperley. A little flick to the right.

:58:44.:58:50.

Australia spreading the play far and wide and they have four yellow

:58:51.:58:55.

shirts in the deep, driven in, picked up. A little turn. Nanscawen

:58:56.:59:01.

unable to shoot. Richardson-Walsh. That will be an

:59:02.:59:30.

Australian ball. Taylor is there to take it. Flanagan and Peris going up

:59:31.:59:38.

to the attacking zone. Bray for England down the left, darts inside,

:59:39.:59:50.

keeps possession. It was off an Australian foot. It is England's

:59:51.:59:58.

ball. Shipperley. Georgie Twigg. Brady. Unsworth. Hit from behind.

:59:59.:00:06.

Looks around to the umpire, claiming that she was

:00:07.:00:10.

Looks around to the umpire, claiming given. Australia move forward again.

:00:11.:00:21.

Good reactions, ball cut out. A good clean pass as well. Nice turn.

:00:22.:00:27.

Danson is calling for it on the right. It was a weak pass. Danson

:00:28.:00:32.

was not helped at all. She has managed to recover and now she is in

:00:33.:00:36.

a good attacking position. England keep possession. Shipperley.

:00:37.:00:49.

Nelson. Nice pick-up for Australia. Looking menacing again. WHISTLE

:00:50.:00:58.

And there is a card coming here for Laura Unsworth. Unsworth will have a

:00:59.:01:02.

two minute sit down. So Australia have the power play.

:01:03.:01:15.

For the next two minutes, they have a player over. Jodie Kenny slides

:01:16.:01:18.

that one in. Australia have a penalty corner,

:01:19.:01:36.

that is what they wanted. The longer Australia spend in the Inman centre

:01:37.:01:40.

circle, the more likely they are to hit a foot. That is what happened.

:01:41.:01:46.

Emily Smith just bounces the ball onto the turf. She has three

:01:47.:01:51.

Australians around her. Nowhere else to go. She tries to lift it out of

:01:52.:01:55.

the way. Smith with a great little dink. Then it is the stick check.

:01:56.:02:06.

Casey Eastham steps up to attack for Australia. England are poised. It is

:02:07.:02:22.

Kenny. It is a goal. 3-0. Australia 3-0 England, Jodie Kenny's second.

:02:23.:02:27.

Is there any way back here from England? She has not make the Maddie

:02:28.:02:35.

Hinch, gone straight down the middle of the field. I am not sure it has

:02:36.:02:40.

got a touch off Annesley first. This will probably show it. It has taken

:02:41.:02:46.

a deflection off the number one runner, Lily Owsley. Wrong footed

:02:47.:02:57.

Hinch in goal. -- it got a touch off Ansley first.

:02:58.:03:05.

Under 20 minutes to play. Australia 3-0 England. Unsworth's time on the

:03:06.:03:19.

bench is over, and she trots back onto the field, for complement,

:03:20.:03:26.

Australia able to exploit the numerical advantage, getting their

:03:27.:03:38.

third. Sam Quek for England. Quick again. Danson. Neat little turn,

:03:39.:03:46.

reverse stick. All it needed was contact. Unfortunately for England

:03:47.:03:51.

Ellie Watton was unable to provide any. This is the difference between

:03:52.:03:56.

an Australia side and an England side at the moment. Australia would

:03:57.:03:58.

have been downloaded, the entire stick would have been on the floor,

:03:59.:04:03.

already waiting. They would have used all 36 and a half inches of the

:04:04.:04:07.

stick to try and deflect that ball to the goal. What is that in

:04:08.:04:15.

centimetres? CHUCKLING A lot.

:04:16.:04:34.

Richardson-Walsh, the England captain. She has seen it all before.

:04:35.:04:44.

Nanscawen's dive gives Australia position for a moment but England

:04:45.:04:45.

have the ball now. Laura Unsworth coming forward,

:04:46.:04:59.

trying to take Laura Unsworth coming forward,

:05:00.:05:07.

hit. Kate Richardson-Walsh there. Quek back to Danson. That is where

:05:08.:05:16.

she is at her most dangerous, Danson. Danson will have another go.

:05:17.:05:32.

Richardson-Walsh. Unsworth. Picked up well by Lucy Wood, who then loses

:05:33.:05:49.

out, and Australia charge forward. Led by Kellie White. This is Parker,

:05:50.:05:59.

the number 19. Wood has it back. Looks around for her options. No one

:06:00.:06:04.

in front. Richardson-Walsh slides it back to Georgie Twigg. Alex Danson.

:06:05.:06:11.

That is good play from Danson. Just wriggling out of trouble. There it

:06:12.:06:18.

ends. Unless Sam Quek can pick this up but it falls to Australia's

:06:19.:06:25.

number four, Casey Eastham, who releases players down the right and

:06:26.:06:32.

forward. Madonna Blyth. McMahon on the left.

:06:33.:06:46.

Jenner. Kenny. Flanagan. Claxton is in front. Flanagan takes it alone,

:06:47.:06:57.

and finds Eastham Shot on goal for Australia.

:06:58.:07:17.

Everybody wants a piece of this. It is a goal for Australia to go 4-0 in

:07:18.:07:23.

front. The final touch provided by Kellie White. This one is being

:07:24.:07:29.

referred by England. They are looking for a back stick.

:07:30.:07:41.

So the suggestion from England is that the ball was struck on the

:07:42.:07:49.

legal side of the stick. I don't think it is Kellie White putter shot

:07:50.:07:52.

that is the problem. I think it is this one here from Georgie Parker.

:07:53.:07:56.

We need to see it from the other side.

:07:57.:08:05.

Yes. It should be overturned, in opinion. It could have been six of

:08:06.:08:15.

one, half a dozen of the other. England will hope it is overturned.

:08:16.:08:26.

Here is the decision now. I think the video umpire wants to see this

:08:27.:08:33.

again. Yes, it is an excellent call by the England captain, Kelly

:08:34.:08:37.

Richardson-Walsh. Yes, that was the decisive angle, that one. The fact

:08:38.:08:44.

Richardson-Walsh. Yes, that was the that the Australians had not really

:08:45.:08:47.

retreated over their half would suggest that they agree.

:08:48.:08:53.

I have a decision for you. a back stick. England keep their

:08:54.:09:05.

referral. Thank you. WHISTLE No goal. England keep their

:09:06.:09:11.

referral. A good decision from Kate Richardson-Walsh, she is happy about

:09:12.:09:19.

that. The last 15 and a half minutes of the match, England get a bit of

:09:20.:09:22.

luck, following a good decision from Kate Walsh. But the scoreline still

:09:23.:09:27.

makes positive reading from Kate Walsh. But the scoreline still

:09:28.:09:32.

Australian point of view. Nothing working for England now. Lily

:09:33.:09:44.

Owsley. A yellow card for Nanscawen, second time off the field. She will

:09:45.:09:49.

sit for five minutes, a five-minute period of play, it will take us

:09:50.:09:56.

towards the last ten minutes. Can England just make the most of this

:09:57.:10:04.

superiority? One goal just might start the ball rolling. One penalty

:10:05.:10:10.

corner would give them confidence. Georgia Nanscawen off the field for

:10:11.:10:12.

five minutes this time. Sam Quek. Susie Gilbert to the left. Three

:10:13.:10:46.

England players on the semicircle. Good speed. Picked up by Australia.

:10:47.:10:55.

Only as far as Sam Quek. Quek takes the free hit, the Unsworth. Unsworth

:10:56.:11:01.

shapes for a cross and then jinks inside. Can she find an Australian

:11:02.:11:06.

foot? They are all stepping out of the way, no penalty corner. The

:11:07.:11:13.

Australians treading lightly in their own semicircle. Well taken,

:11:14.:11:18.

Laura their own semicircle. Well taken,

:11:19.:11:27.

sun. Lily Owsley. Penalty corner! At last, a breakthrough for England.

:11:28.:11:37.

Lily Owsley, I thought she had dribbled it too far with Unsworth

:11:38.:11:41.

wide, but that is an awful tackle by Anna Flanagan. Feet planted, swung

:11:42.:11:46.

the stick, easy decision for Wilson, the Scottish umpire, to

:11:47.:11:51.

make. The first corner of the game, and England used a number of options

:11:52.:11:54.

in their previous game against Malaysia. Sam Quek is there, Kate

:11:55.:12:06.

Richardson-Walsh is up. The choice of three potential hitters here. It

:12:07.:12:13.

is held up. Oh! Just wide. Pushed behind. Sam Quek's attempt was

:12:14.:12:21.

strong, but saved. Opted for the slip move. Not sure if it was

:12:22.:12:29.

goalkeeper or Australia player but either way they kept the ball out.

:12:30.:12:37.

England still with the player over. Here it is again. I think it came

:12:38.:12:43.

off the player. Susie Gilbert fighting for position

:12:44.:12:59.

here for England. Trying to find a way through. Support from behind.

:13:00.:13:01.

Now Unsworth in the way through. Support from behind.

:13:02.:13:08.

forced to go all the way back. They are still a player over here.

:13:09.:13:14.

Nanscawen sitting on the bench in front of us. Danson is back on for

:13:15.:13:17.

England. own half, the quicker Australia will

:13:18.:13:51.

regain their full complement. Danson, explosive acceleration, good

:13:52.:13:56.

pass to back it up. England coming forward in numbers. A nice little

:13:57.:14:03.

turn, Unsworth asking for it on the right. Penalty corner to England. So

:14:04.:14:15.

much better by England, moving the ball to the top of the circle,

:14:16.:14:18.

much better by England, moving the something we have not seen in this

:14:19.:14:23.

game. Townsend getting a touch, playing it off the Australian foot.

:14:24.:14:38.

England's penalty corner, Susie Gilbert will inject. Maybe Danson,

:14:39.:14:53.

maybe Ansley. Saved again. England cannot find a way through that wall

:14:54.:15:00.

of green and gold shirts. Ten minutes to go, 3-0 to Australia.

:15:01.:15:13.

Australia are back to full straight. Jodie Kenny having another blinder.

:15:14.:15:19.

That is what you post players therefore. Does not swing the stick,

:15:20.:15:26.

just glances it away. The power play has been and gone. A good pick-up.

:15:27.:15:43.

Unsworth. Little flick to the right. Townsend's three hit. -- free hit.

:15:44.:16:32.

He was in England foot on the ball. -- it was. Australia take the aerial

:16:33.:16:42.

route out. Kate Richardson-Walsh has it all to herself down the left-hand

:16:43.:16:44.

side. Pushing forward. England ball. Richardson-Walsh will take the long

:16:45.:17:06.

corner. That is swept in. Going straight into the circle, it needs

:17:07.:17:10.

to move five metres before it gets in there.

:17:11.:17:32.

White, for Australia. A clash of heads. Richardson-Walsh coming out

:17:33.:17:48.

worse. Kate Richardson-Walsh gets very low in the tackle, I think her

:17:49.:17:54.

hip has gone into the side of the head. Having been through what she

:17:55.:18:00.

did in London, she will be up very quickly. That is just a little bump

:18:01.:18:06.

camp Aird to what happened at the Olympic Park. -- just a little

:18:07.:18:33.

camp Aird to what happened at the in. Kenny showing great control.

:18:34.:18:41.

Seven in. Kenny showing great control.

:18:42.:18:43.

minutes for England to close the gap. Or for Australia to extend it.

:18:44.:18:55.

England's unbeaten run appears to be coming to an end here. Unsworth is

:18:56.:19:01.

there to steal the ball. ? any. Forming a line around the

:19:02.:19:32.

semicircle. Richardson-Walsh there to tidy up. Penalty corner to

:19:33.:19:41.

Australia. England may get this one checked out. The referral is coming.

:19:42.:19:52.

A corner off a foot? They are saying no foot? It is a simple either or.

:19:53.:20:02.

A corner off a foot? They are saying Down to the video evidence.

:20:03.:20:08.

Definitely not a foot. Down to the video evidence.

:20:09.:20:17.

said it was dangerous, coming off Ansley's stick. The communication

:20:18.:20:22.

may not have been correct. Definitely not a foot.

:20:23.:20:56.

That is when the whistle blew. No penalty corner. Under six minutes to

:20:57.:21:30.

play. Goes to Claxton. Finding Georgina Parker. A reverse stick

:21:31.:21:49.

attempt, going behind. Danson with a bit of room to manoeuvre. She was

:21:50.:21:57.

claiming she was tackled unfairly. We are into the last five minutes of

:21:58.:22:33.

this match. If England lose, they are not out of the competition,

:22:34.:22:38.

winning their first two matches, beating Wales and Malaysia. Looks as

:22:39.:22:45.

if Australia will maintain their unbeaten record. Having already

:22:46.:23:00.

defeated Malaysia 4-0, Wales 9-0, Scotland 5-0. They are yet to

:23:01.:23:02.

concede. A bouncing ball, taking a few more

:23:03.:23:20.

seconds off the clock. Richardson-Walsh reacting well.

:23:21.:23:27.

Unsworth backing Iraq. Sam Quek on the right. Danson as usual, quick to

:23:28.:23:43.

turn. The pass was to nowhere. Edwina Bone. Richardson-Walsh, Lucy

:23:44.:24:04.

Wood. Danson will take the long corner. -- Unsworth backing up.

:24:05.:24:25.

The ball is still in play, going all the way back to England territory.

:24:26.:24:34.

The players with one final defensive run. White, flat on her face.

:24:35.:24:51.

Nothing wrong with that. Still down. Let's see this one again.

:24:52.:25:07.

Back on her feet. Danson for England, into the corner, behind.

:25:08.:25:31.

Sam Quek. The last couple of minutes, can England restore some

:25:32.:25:37.

respectability to the scoreline. Richardson-Walsh, reverse flick,

:25:38.:25:44.

nice pass. Delicately forward, and Danson able to turn and shoot. A

:25:45.:25:47.

straightforward save. Rachel Lynch. Richardson-Walsh, Danson asking for

:25:48.:26:11.

it in the D. It is Australia's ball, with less than 90 seconds to

:26:12.:26:17.

go, England are running out of chances. A great effort by Alex

:26:18.:26:23.

Danson, using her back foot to squeeze it into gold. -- goal. An

:26:24.:26:31.

easy save in the end, Sam Wood trying to get onto the deflection.

:26:32.:26:44.

Under one minute to play. Owsley. Trying to charge and barge to wade

:26:45.:27:00.

through. Danson getting the free hit. Kenny coming away with it for

:27:01.:27:07.

Australia. That was too far. Susie Gilbert's

:27:08.:27:19.

pass, just impossible. Well Dunne it is over. Will there be

:27:20.:27:50.

a final penalty corner. Right before the tutor, it may have clipped one

:27:51.:27:56.

of the England defender is on the lower leg. -- well... It is over.

:27:57.:28:06.

You are looking for a foot inside the circle. Australia claiming it

:28:07.:28:13.

bounced through. That may give them a chance to make it 4-0. The

:28:14.:28:21.

question will be the height, it has hit Owsley above the shin pad. It

:28:22.:28:30.

could be given as a penalty corner. They have their defensive kit on.

:28:31.:28:37.

The Australians have all their players on the circle edge. It looks

:28:38.:28:45.

like it caught her on the knee. I think it is about. Let's wait and

:28:46.:28:55.

hear what the decision gives us, will it be over, or one final

:28:56.:28:57.

penalty corner to enjoy? I have a decision for you. There was

:28:58.:29:16.

a foot, therefore penalty corner. WHISTLE

:29:17.:29:18.

England have won further penalty corner to defend. Australia leading

:29:19.:29:31.

3-0. A chance to make it four. Kenny has two already, and it

:29:32.:29:32.

3-0. A chance to make it four. Kenny her the chance to make it a

:29:33.:29:36.

hat-trick. No, it has gone to Flanagan. It is saved. And it is

:29:37.:29:40.

behind. And that will be that. Flanagan. It is saved. And it is

:29:41.:29:51.

Australia's Victor Riu, by 3-0. In a different class here, really,

:29:52.:29:57.

Australia. Jodie Kenny, two goals courtesy of the penalty corner

:29:58.:30:01.

routines, backed up by Emily Smith's goal. 3-0, the final score.

:30:02.:30:10.

England down but certainly not out of the Commonwealth Games hockey

:30:11.:30:17.

tournament. They have played three, lost two and 11 of their matches,

:30:18.:30:20.

for Australia, four matches, four winds, -- four wins.

:30:21.:30:32.

Some record champions. They have scored 25 goals

:30:33.:30:38.

in their four games in the group may have yet to concede a goal, as the

:30:39.:30:42.

commentary team just stated. For England, a setback to their hopes of

:30:43.:30:46.

topping the group, but they are expected to get through to the

:30:47.:30:49.

knockout phase. That is it for the time being, in terms of our coverage

:30:50.:30:55.

of Glasgow 2014, back with plenty more after a quick news update.

:30:56.:31:01.

We've got factory boys and butchers' apprentices and office clerks

:31:02.:31:09.

Back to Glasgow after a quick update.

:31:10.:31:37.

Lightning, hail, torrential rain and floods.

:31:38.:31:39.

Severe weather's hit parts of South East England.

:31:40.:31:40.

Some railway staff called it a "zombie apocalypse".

:31:41.:31:47.

That's Tulisa, speaking after the collapse of her drugs trial.

:31:48.:31:51.

She's told us she thought about taking her own life.

:31:52.:31:54.

Top Gear did breach broadcasting rules

:31:55.:31:57.

That's the ruling from the TV watchdog.

:31:58.:32:01.

The remark, from Jeremy Clarkson, was in a Burma special.

:32:02.:32:05.

Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen is heading Down Under.

:32:06.:32:07.

He's signed a two-year deal to play for Melbourne Stars

:32:08.:32:10.

More from us later, right now let's get back to Manish,

:32:11.:32:17.

I leave the ashram, travel halfway across the world to find my father,

:32:18.:32:26.

Oh, well. As Vashrati says, gotta keep smiling!

:32:27.:32:34.

We don't tend to use the bathroom together here.

:32:35.:32:37.

All right, well, I'll catch you later.

:32:38.:32:39.

This ashram of yours, it might be a cult.

:32:40.:32:42.

I take it back, he's definitely Cuckoo's son.

:32:43.:32:46.

I would say Glasgow is atmospheric, passionate, colourful. Deep-fried.

:32:47.:33:15.

Deep-fried chocolate bar. Chicken tikka masala. Deep-fried everything.

:33:16.:33:23.

Cold and windy, and the weather changes all the time. It doesn't

:33:24.:33:27.

always rain. Loupe it does rain in Glasgow but that is OK. Tartan,

:33:28.:33:35.

smiles. The people know how to have a good time. You have to talk bit

:33:36.:33:40.

slower, I struggle on accent. People come away from Glasgow struck by its

:33:41.:33:45.

sheer friendliness. That is how it is known, is a warm and welcoming

:33:46.:33:47.

place. Hello there, good to have you with

:33:48.:33:59.

us on BBC Three as we bring you all of the drama and excitement on day

:34:00.:34:03.

five of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. After a spell of wet, cold

:34:04.:34:11.

and windy weather, the city is bathed in gorgeous sunshine,

:34:12.:34:13.

including George Square at the heart of the city, people in and around

:34:14.:34:16.

the city of Glasgow having a fantastic time. Here we are just

:34:17.:34:21.

outside the BBC Scotland studios. Just have a look at the stage here,

:34:22.:34:24.

this is where it will all be happening, it is the place to be at

:34:25.:34:30.

8pm tonight. If we have a quick look at the drum set over there, Wet Wet

:34:31.:34:38.

Wet will be taking to the stage, same -- famous Scottish imports will

:34:39.:34:49.

be taking to the stage. I suppose there is not much better ways if you

:34:50.:34:54.

are a fan than to soak up the atmosphere and wait the last three

:34:55.:34:57.

or four hours until they take the stage. This will be buzzing, and by

:34:58.:35:01.

the way, of course there is no room for any more tickets or people

:35:02.:35:06.

within vicinity, but you can catch the coverage on the BBC Sport

:35:07.:35:10.

website, or of course on BBC radio Scotland. Here on day five, there

:35:11.:35:14.

was a chance we could see the crowning of a Commonwealth legend at

:35:15.:35:19.

these games. You might remember England's shooter by the name of

:35:20.:35:26.

Mick Gault had equalled the record of any Commonwealth Games medals won

:35:27.:35:30.

by any individual. Could he take the record outright by claiming his 19th

:35:31.:35:36.

medal in the 50-metre pistol? Unfortunately, this was not to be.

:35:37.:35:41.

He could not repeat the form he showed on Saturday. He failed to

:35:42.:35:46.

qualify for the final stages of the 50-metre pistol, but what can we

:35:47.:35:52.

say? A staggering 18 Commonwealth medals to make bold's name, -- Mick

:35:53.:35:59.

Gault. Well done to him on what has been a staggering career. In

:36:00.:36:05.

Carnoustie at the Barry Buddon Shooting Centre, one of them is

:36:06.:36:09.

called a prone, and is the name suggests, the rifle list lies down

:36:10.:36:14.

while taking aim at the target. Here is all you need to know about prone

:36:15.:36:16.

as a sport. In Glasto, there are three rifle

:36:17.:36:28.

events each for men and women. Ten-metre, 50-metre prone and

:36:29.:36:36.

50-metre three positions. All events are held on a shooting range, and in

:36:37.:36:41.

each competitors have a set time to fire a certain number of bullets at

:36:42.:36:47.

electronic targets. Each target features ten concentric circles with

:36:48.:36:50.

scores from one to ten. In the ten-metre event, the shooters

:36:51.:36:54.

remained standing at all times and use both arms to support the gun. In

:36:55.:36:59.

the 50 metres prone, competitors have to lie on their fronts while

:37:00.:37:03.

shooting at the target. In the 50-metre three positions event, they

:37:04.:37:07.

have two fire while standing, kneeling and lying prone. The top

:37:08.:37:12.

eight from the qualification round in each event goes through to the

:37:13.:37:18.

finals. Qualification for the finals took place earlier today, and there

:37:19.:37:22.

is a strong contingent, in terms of the home nations, who finish in the

:37:23.:37:25.

top eight go through to the finals, but there was no John Hammond from

:37:26.:37:29.

Scotland. The reigning defending champion who took gold in Delhi four

:37:30.:37:35.

years ago. So there will be a new Commonwealth champion.

:37:36.:37:41.

COMMENTATOR: At the top, it is Samson. That man has two sit it out.

:37:42.:37:51.

It is always hard when you are the first person to stand up and walk

:37:52.:37:56.

away. He will be thinking about what could have been. The defending

:37:57.:38:00.

champion, Scotland's John Hammond, not even in the final. Yes, just

:38:01.:38:03.

didn't make the cut today. There is the wind, it is getting up.

:38:04.:38:14.

Yes, but it is from the right direction here, so this is the

:38:15.:38:18.

consistent wind direction for the shooters on the range, so we should

:38:19.:38:34.

see some high-scoring shots here. A 10.94 Parr, listen to the England

:38:35.:38:37.

fans cheering, that was excellent stuff from the Englishman. CHEERING

:38:38.:38:47.

He will be absolutely delighted with that, not that you will see it in

:38:48.:38:52.

his face. He is all compensation, and his father was happy with that

:38:53.:39:02.

as well. Sampson of Australia and Potent of Australia, it is an

:39:03.:39:07.

Australian 1-2 at the moment. It is tight at the bottom. Gary Duff, Ryan

:39:08.:39:14.

Taylor, and if Naz air Khan is not a sharpshooter in this round, he could

:39:15.:39:24.

be in trouble as well in this round. This is what the fans come for, this

:39:25.:39:27.

elimination stage gets very exciting. Duff and Taylor the two

:39:28.:39:42.

with the most to do. Kenny Parr hoping to replicate his form from

:39:43.:39:48.

the last series. That is Duff. He shot a nine,

:39:49.:39:50.

the last series. That is Duff. He is Taylor going to do? Nine, maybe

:39:51.:39:54.

not enough. What is Taylor going to do? 9.5 from Belfast, the engineer

:39:55.:40:00.

who will have to beat a retreat here. But he started pretty well. He

:40:01.:40:12.

shot a 10.7 in the opening shot of this competition, but he couldn't

:40:13.:40:17.

keep it going, and he is out in seventh place. The Aussies are equal

:40:18.:40:27.

in first, really tight there. Narang will not be too worried, just 0.2

:40:28.:40:32.

behind. Look how close it is tween first and sixth.

:40:33.:40:42.

, Riu these are the two Australians. Potent on the right-hand side. They

:40:43.:40:58.

are not worried about elimination. They are concentrating on a possible

:40:59.:41:00.

gold medal. 10.1 from Parr. Sampson with a 10.3

:41:01.:41:16.

and Potent with a 10.1, so Sampson edges

:41:17.:41:19.

and Potent with a 10.1, so Sampson with a 10.2 not far behind either.

:41:20.:41:26.

On a day like today, many of the athletes will be looking to keep the

:41:27.:41:30.

On a day like today, many of the shops in the ten ring. If you can do

:41:31.:41:33.

that, you have a very good shout of getting a medal in this final. Now

:41:34.:41:39.

we concentrate on the other end of the standings. Ryan Taylor, 1.7

:41:40.:41:47.

behind Nasir Khan of Malaysia. But we have seen in this wind you can

:41:48.:41:52.

have a feud Duff shots and you can be out by

:41:53.:41:55.

have a feud Duff shots and you can Absolutely, it can be detrimental.

:41:56.:42:01.

So Taylor and Nasir Khan are the two feelings of the heat at the moment.

:42:02.:42:11.

Tailored needing a really high ten -- Taylor needing. Good shooting

:42:12.:42:21.

from others further up the table. Taylor and Nasir Khan taking their

:42:22.:42:26.

time. 9.8 from Taylor, 9.6 from Nasir Khan, and it is not enough for

:42:27.:42:32.

the kiwi. Taylor was adrift by 1.5 points in the end, so I think he

:42:33.:42:37.

can't have any complaints. No, it is a clear elimination at this point.

:42:38.:42:43.

The 34-year-old. A man who likes his cricket as well. His dad competed in

:42:44.:42:50.

the lipid games in 1976, so it runs in the blood, and I am sure he will

:42:51.:42:53.

be happy to have been in the final. A little bit disappointed not to get

:42:54.:42:58.

a medal but we are getting down to the business end here. Just five

:42:59.:43:03.

left. Australians still ahead of the game. Narang has won so many medals

:43:04.:43:13.

here. He was saying how he was hoping for a ninth gold medal but it

:43:14.:43:17.

is becoming a bit of a battle. He is just over a point away from Warren

:43:18.:43:23.

Potent, so it is still very much anybody's game here. Back to the two

:43:24.:43:27.

Australians at the top of the leaderboard. 0.2 separating them.

:43:28.:43:34.

This wind is dying down at it as well. Parr with a 10.7, how can the

:43:35.:43:40.

Aussies respond? Kenneth Parr. Looking pretty safe

:43:41.:44:09.

for a top four finish, only 0.4 away from the medals. What an exciting

:44:10.:44:16.

format this is. They have changed it around, and it works. You have to

:44:17.:44:23.

make sure those first shots, you really named them. Otherwise you can

:44:24.:44:29.

get a quick elimination, no chance to come back. -- really nail them. A

:44:30.:44:46.

deep breath from Khan. Kenneth Parr will be hoping for a 9.3. That

:44:47.:44:52.

should be enough. 10.4. A really good shot. It will save him from

:44:53.:45:03.

elimination, he is one point away from the bronze medal.

:45:04.:45:11.

A great story, he almost quit a couple of years ago. His boss said,

:45:12.:45:24.

don't do it. They will be delighted how well he has done. So... There

:45:25.:45:36.

were four. Somebody will get that horrible fourth position. Just one

:45:37.:45:43.

point between Kenneth Parr, and Sampson of Australia. He has had a

:45:44.:46:04.

couple of wobbly shots. Kenneth Parr qualifying second for this and the

:46:05.:46:08.

air rifle competition, did not get a medal in the air rifle. As long as

:46:09.:46:16.

it is not a horrible shot, should be OK. 9.4. That is fantastic. You

:46:17.:46:28.

called it earlier on. Potent upping his game. Fabulous shooting. He

:46:29.:46:48.

clawed back 0.5 of a point, still half a point behind, a big ask. Not

:46:49.:46:55.

impossible. By no means impossible. The wind is doing all sorts. One

:46:56.:46:57.

good shot could see him through. This one is an elimination shot,

:46:58.:47:15.

Kenneth Parr, 0.5 behind Samsung. A 10.6 from Samson. -- behind

:47:16.:47:31.

Sampson, a 10.6 from Sampson. Now a 9.7 from Sampson, Parr leapfrogged

:47:32.:47:46.

him. Well, whether it was the wind, the Australian misses out on a

:47:47.:47:55.

medal. Fourth place is horrible. Congratulations to Sampson. The

:47:56.:48:05.

27-year-old, finalist in the air rifle, finishing eighth. Did better

:48:06.:48:11.

here, but agonisingly, not quite enough for his high standards. Who

:48:12.:48:15.

will get the bronze? Parr is behind Narrant. Still all to

:48:16.:48:43.

play for. It is Potent's to lose. He will be looking to keep it steady,

:48:44.:48:48.

in the tens or the high nines comedy should be safe. -- hi nines, he

:48:49.:49:00.

should be safe. They will be hearing all of this hubbub. They were trying

:49:01.:49:06.

to unit out, think of their technique. 30 seconds on the clock.

:49:07.:49:13.

The first of two series to determine the bronze. 10.4 from Parr, 10.2

:49:14.:49:30.

from Narrang, clawing it back. Potent solid, that will keep him in

:49:31.:49:42.

goal. -- gold. Not .7 the difference between Parr and Narrang. Very

:49:43.:49:48.

doable, but it isn't asked. The wind is getting up a bit. -- but it is an

:49:49.:49:55.

ask. The Australians can hardly bear to

:49:56.:50:09.

watch. He is the man in pole position, the other two scrapping to

:50:10.:50:15.

make sure they can fight for the silver and gold. A good shot from

:50:16.:50:29.

Parr. Not going to be enough. A really, really good effort from the

:50:30.:50:35.

Englishman, Kenneth Parr. Fighting his way from certain elimination, he

:50:36.:50:41.

will take the bronze. The English fans absolutely delighted. Everyone

:50:42.:50:49.

clapping the 27-year-old. A couple of silver medals in Delhi, he has a

:50:50.:50:56.

bronze to add to his collection, and a big hug from his dad. A really

:50:57.:51:09.

close-knit bunch of athletes. Two more shots, and we will know who has

:51:10.:51:11.

gold and silver. 1.6 is the difference. 10.8 from

:51:12.:51:33.

Narrang, Potent will need a covering shot. 15 seconds left. Down by one

:51:34.:51:47.

point. All of a sudden, all very different.

:51:48.:51:55.

It is very, very see, 0.6 the difference. All down to

:51:56.:52:06.

this last shot. Someone will go away see, 0.6 the difference. All down to

:52:07.:52:16.

with silver, somebody will claim the gold. Narrang, on the right-hand

:52:17.:52:26.

side, the 31 you rolled, the veterinary from Australia, the

:52:27.:52:34.

51-year-old, Warren Potent. -- the veteran.

:52:35.:52:43.

51-year-old, Warren Potent. -- the ability. Potent looking for a ten.

:52:44.:52:50.

51-year-old, Warren Potent. -- the That will do it. Great composure at

:52:51.:53:03.

the end. Warren Potent. He has had silver and bronze in the

:53:04.:53:08.

Commonwealth Games, this is a gold for Australia and Warren Potent. He

:53:09.:53:17.

has one of the biggest smiles in shooting, why not display it now,

:53:18.:53:24.

the man from Sydney. The Australian triumphs, Narrang does not get his

:53:25.:53:31.

ninth Commonwealth gold comedy has to settle for silver. He has a few

:53:32.:53:40.

of those as well. -- Commonwealth gold, hast to settle. A bronze for

:53:41.:54:01.

Kenneth Parr of England. Well done, Kenneth Parr, winning

:54:02.:54:08.

bronze for England. That was dramatic at the end, 0.2 points

:54:09.:54:14.

separating the winner and second place. There are always fascinating

:54:15.:54:21.

stories to tell behind the athletes and competitors, none less so than

:54:22.:54:26.

the Welsh boxer, Sean Murdoch Drake, he will be hoping for a

:54:27.:54:31.

straightforward route to the gold medal, his experience in Delhi, four

:54:32.:54:43.

years ago was different. What was it like having a Commonwealth medal?

:54:44.:54:48.

There was a red pressure on me. I was just there to enjoy the

:54:49.:54:55.

experience. -- there was zero pressure. It will go to count back.

:54:56.:55:10.

Yes, it has done. He has got it. Silver medal for Sean McGoldrick. It

:55:11.:55:18.

was a strange way to won the gold. I was boxing in the final, losing the

:55:19.:55:25.

fight on Karabakh. The gold medal was not awarded. Seven weeks later,

:55:26.:55:30.

the guy failed his drug test. Justice was served, he got banned,

:55:31.:55:36.

the gold medal was taken away, and I got it. What will it mean to be in

:55:37.:55:41.

Glasgow to win the gold medal, on the podium hearing the Welsh

:55:42.:55:49.

national anthem. It will be special, I am telling myself I won gold, but

:55:50.:55:53.

I want to focus on one fight at a time. It will be pretty special to

:55:54.:55:59.

get it twice. With the team we have got, we have a very good chance of

:56:00.:56:09.

taking the medals. I believe we can finish high in the medal tables,

:56:10.:56:13.

higher than England and Scotland, our team is that good.

:56:14.:56:18.

It was at the SECC, just along the River Clyde, where he began the

:56:19.:56:32.

defence of his Commonwealth title against Jackson Wood.

:56:33.:56:46.

Wales against Australia in the bantamweight contest, the winner to

:56:47.:56:50.

go through to the quarterfinals. One more, you get yourself a medal.

:56:51.:56:56.

Shawn Michaels Rick, eventually got his gold medal, drawing on seven

:56:57.:57:09.

punches a piece against the shrill Hangeland, subsequently stripped of

:57:10.:57:14.

the gold medal because he failed a drugs test. McGoldrick has that

:57:15.:57:24.

medal in his closet somewhere. Jackson Wood box that the limping

:57:25.:57:29.

games in London, the cousin of Luke Wood, who boxed in Delhi, four years

:57:30.:57:37.

ago. McGoldrick is the man to beat, can he be the first Welsh athlete to

:57:38.:57:44.

retain a Commonwealth title? He is in the blue, Wood is in the red. The

:57:45.:57:50.

thoughts of Richie Woodall? I have worked with McGoldrick many times

:57:51.:57:57.

for Team GB, very good on the inside. His strength is his short

:57:58.:58:04.

and mid-range work. We try to work with him on moving his head, going

:58:05.:58:12.

to the body. There is his left work. -- hook. I think the Australian will

:58:13.:58:22.

be vulnerable on the inside. Sean McGoldrick will have two tries

:58:23.:58:41.

to negate that advantage -- he will have to try.

:58:42.:58:53.

There is a lot of leather getting thrown by Jackson Woods, but it is

:58:54.:58:58.

not really landing. Physically, Sean McGoldrick is very

:58:59.:59:13.

strong. He is one of the strongest in the squad. A very strong man for

:59:14.:59:25.

a little fellow. The uppercut is not a bad option when you have someone

:59:26.:59:31.

shorter. For me, Sean McGoldrick is easing his way to victory, although

:59:32.:59:36.

it is a close one. They have really contrast in styles. Sean McGoldrick,

:59:37.:59:45.

he finishes the rounding confident fashion. It is a close round. He

:59:46.:59:53.

pushed Jackson Woods back onto the ropes. He will have success with the

:59:54.:00:00.

fast jab. Sean McGoldrick scored well with that jab stop a good guard

:00:01.:00:08.

coming in. The movement, the target of the body. That was good work.

:00:09.:00:14.

What do the wise men think. Two of them have given it to Jackson

:00:15.:00:29.

Woods. It was a close round. We need to see more of that work downstairs

:00:30.:00:31.

from Sean McGoldrick. In the lead on two of the three

:00:32.:00:50.

judges' cards, Jackson Woods. In the Olympic games he lost narrowly. A

:00:51.:00:58.

couple of points between him and the Algerian. The Australians thought he

:00:59.:01:02.

had got it. Sean McGoldrick will have to go a little bit now. Picked

:01:03.:01:08.

off a few times in the opening round. He would seem to have all of

:01:09.:01:16.

the tools, can he employ them? He has to move their head better. He

:01:17.:01:21.

has two double jab and when he gets there he has to throw threes and

:01:22.:01:33.

fors -- and fours. He has to target. The uppercut again coming through

:01:34.:01:40.

from the Australian. He just let him off the ropes. The opportunity, he

:01:41.:01:44.

has to work and he failed to take it again. Jackson Woods, he gets into a

:01:45.:01:54.

clinch and holds on. The uppercut. A good body shot. He has hurt him.

:01:55.:02:06.

That was a lovely left hook. Jackson Woods looked vulnerable suddenly.

:02:07.:02:10.

Sean McGoldrick piled home the advantage. Jackson Woods is

:02:11.:02:20.

resilient. Jackson Woods is not learning from his mistakes, staying

:02:21.:02:25.

on the ropes, Sean McGoldrick must take advantage. He has to keep the

:02:26.:02:31.

pressure on. After losing the first round, he needed a big response and

:02:32.:02:37.

he has produced that. And then uppercut from Sean McGoldrick.

:02:38.:02:43.

Pulling out all of the tools from the box. Jackson Woods is tiring.

:02:44.:02:52.

What a good response this has been by Sean McGoldrick. He has ripped

:02:53.:03:02.

the second round away from the Australian. He has to keep it going.

:03:03.:03:13.

He did enough in the opening two and a half minutes to take this, I

:03:14.:03:18.

think. Rink position is crucial. He has slowed up stop now he must go to

:03:19.:03:28.

work. Right-handed. Not as effective as a few minutes ago, but a better

:03:29.:03:34.

round. The right-hand coming across from the Welshman. Jackson Woods

:03:35.:03:40.

under pressure. He will be delighted to hear the bell. He is exhausted.

:03:41.:03:48.

He very nearly was stopped in that round with some hardbody shots. He

:03:49.:04:01.

held his feet on the ropes. Kevin Smith, the Australian coach, trying

:04:02.:04:07.

to motivate his boxer. McGoldrick had a good round, working to the

:04:08.:04:08.

to motivate his boxer. McGoldrick body. A couple of shots came back

:04:09.:04:12.

from Jackson Woods. McGoldrick body. A couple of shots came back

:04:13.:04:21.

him in this corner. Good work. The sharp right uppercut was a great

:04:22.:04:26.

shot. But the body shots took their toll.

:04:27.:04:32.

How the charge can give the RAM to Jackson Woods, I will never know.

:04:33.:04:46.

How the charge can give the RAM to give the round. McGoldrick knows he

:04:47.:04:51.

cannot leave anything to chance. He has to win the last round and he has

:04:52.:04:58.

to win it well. Has Jackson Woods recovered his composure from the

:04:59.:05:00.

severe battering? recovered his composure from the

:05:01.:05:07.

not let him off the hook. He has to cut out the Australian's reach

:05:08.:05:15.

advantage. You know you are one punch away from the feet slowing

:05:16.:05:23.

down again. That was a good right hand from McGoldrick. The Welsh

:05:24.:05:30.

contingent are saying, come on, come forward. He has come forward. Double

:05:31.:05:37.

up the attack. Sustain the pressure and move their head. The uppercut

:05:38.:05:45.

again from Jackson Woods. McGoldrick has landed just before that. He does

:05:46.:05:51.

not want his man in the middle of the ring, where he can move more. He

:05:52.:05:58.

has to trap him and finish him. Better by McGoldrick, yet again. He

:05:59.:06:05.

has to close the gap and go to work, that is better. Terrific stuff to

:06:06.:06:16.

the body by McGoldrick. Again, the uppercut from the Australian not too

:06:17.:06:20.

many miles away. Come on, Sean McGoldrick. Just about a minute

:06:21.:06:30.

remaining. He has to keep working. He has to

:06:31.:06:42.

throw more than singles. He has to pressure him. He has taken his foot

:06:43.:06:50.

off the gas. That is better. Finding a little bit in the tank he did not

:06:51.:06:54.

think was there. Can the Australian hang on to produce one of the upsets

:06:55.:06:59.

of the tournament so far? McGoldrick needs a good last 40 seconds.

:07:00.:07:06.

Jackson Woods is getting him with the odd shot. He has two keep him

:07:07.:07:18.

there. The last 25 seconds. Jackson Woods, flailing. McGoldrick means to

:07:19.:07:25.

steady himself. He is looking tired. Needs another big attack. The last

:07:26.:07:37.

ten seconds. You have to go for it. One last Goodbody shot from

:07:38.:07:45.

McGoldrick. Was it enough? -- good body shot. The hand goes up from

:07:46.:07:49.

Jackson Woods and this will be too close to call. One of the judges has

:07:50.:08:00.

given both rounds to Jackson Woods. I do not know how he got that second

:08:01.:08:05.

round but nevertheless, this was close to call in the last round.

:08:06.:08:10.

McGoldrick coming forward. Needed more head movement. Four shots going

:08:11.:08:17.

in, then he switched to the head. McGoldrick blocks that. It is

:08:18.:08:22.

close. Jackson thought he got it at the end. McGoldrick thought he had

:08:23.:08:24.

got it. Who knows? We have a split decision. Through to

:08:25.:08:46.

the quarterfinal, in the blue corner... CHEERING.

:08:47.:09:00.

The Commonwealth champion gets the chance to defend his title and

:09:01.:09:09.

become the first Welsh athlete to win successive medals in the

:09:10.:09:12.

Commonwealth Games. He will certainly want to reflect on that.

:09:13.:09:19.

Jackson Woods, the Olympian from two years ago will be disappointed. You

:09:20.:09:24.

can see how relieved Sean McGoldrick is. Well done. Did you think you had

:09:25.:09:36.

got it? I thought I had done enough. I can get the ball rolling now. You

:09:37.:09:43.

probably knew you lost the first round, how much pressure did it put

:09:44.:09:52.

new? It was tough. He was a little bit too fast on his movement in the

:09:53.:09:58.

first. I had to get behind the jab more. I slowed him down. It was a

:09:59.:10:09.

tough fight. I did what I had to do. Does it weigh on your mind, being

:10:10.:10:16.

effectively defending champion? What happened four years ago was four use

:10:17.:10:21.

ago. This is a different week. Every time I go into a fight, I give 110%.

:10:22.:10:28.

I hope to come away with a medal, but it will be tough. It was tight,

:10:29.:10:38.

but Sean McGoldrick safely negotiated his first round match. We

:10:39.:10:41.

will keep you up-to-date with his progress. I was there yesterday, it

:10:42.:10:47.

was baking. We could have done with an ice cream. I was going to push to

:10:48.:10:55.

the front. We can get our first taste of badminton. To the mixed

:10:56.:11:00.

team final event that involves England. They took bronze at Delhi

:11:01.:11:06.

four years ago. Standing in their way are the current defending

:11:07.:11:11.

champions and favourites Malaysia. England took on Malaysia. David

:11:12.:11:15.

Mercer in the commentary box. The momentum is the English way this

:11:16.:11:32.

time, even though he is one down. I sense he is on a roll. You worried

:11:33.:11:45.

me. I should not do this as a commentator, but that is the fun

:11:46.:11:46.

part! The curse of the commentator. That is the Malaysian singles coach

:11:47.:12:13.

on the right and a member of a famous Badminton family. On his left

:12:14.:12:17.

was the doubles coach. He keeps going behind. He is

:12:18.:13:00.

catching up. It would be nice if he could do so again from an English

:13:01.:13:03.

perspective. As usual, the coach is not giving a

:13:04.:13:42.

lot As usual, the coach is not giving a

:13:43.:14:00.

obviously giving his points of view in the breaks. It would be very

:14:01.:14:04.

difficult for me to sit that still. I think Chong Wei Feng is doing the

:14:05.:15:23.

right thing. He is keeping it very steady, very safe, and not taking

:15:24.:15:33.

too many chances. Ouseph at the moment is making the mistakes.

:15:34.:15:42.

Not this time. Incredible athleticism in top class badminton.

:15:43.:15:49.

Not this time. Incredible Chong Wei Feng

:15:50.:15:52.

Not this time. Incredible getting straight back up. This is a

:15:53.:15:57.

chance to attack. Good shot. Really nice shot, did not

:15:58.:16:10.

wait for it. Once again, Chong Wei Feng leads by

:16:11.:16:30.

four points. Ouseph has twice come back from that deficit to level but

:16:31.:16:35.

it is a little late in this opening game to expect him to do so again.

:16:36.:16:50.

That is his favourite shot too, Ouseph. Yes, it is.

:16:51.:17:22.

Too many errors at a crucial stage here from Ouseph. I must admit I was

:17:23.:17:33.

wrong. I really thought at the mid-game interval, it was only 11-10

:17:34.:17:41.

to Chong Wei Feng, I really thought that Ouseph had a very good rhythm.

:17:42.:17:46.

He was getting in there. It seems to be coming right for him but I think

:17:47.:17:52.

the interval kind of broke it up for him. It broke his rhythm and now he

:17:53.:18:01.

is making too many mistakes and 19-14 is a very commanding lead.

:18:02.:18:04.

Once again, a packed arena. We are right next door to the Sir

:18:05.:18:20.

Chris Hoy Velodrome. A couple of hundred yards from Celtic Park.

:18:21.:18:39.

You have to say, that was another error from Ouseph so five-game

:18:40.:18:45.

points for Chong Wei Feng. Good defence, very nice defence by

:18:46.:18:58.

Ouseph. That crosscourt was beautifully played.

:18:59.:19:23.

This time he gets it right. Too many of those have drifted long.

:19:24.:19:40.

Yes, well short of the baseline, just inside the sideline.

:19:41.:19:57.

So the opening game goes to Chong Wei Feng, 21-17 in 18 minutes.

:19:58.:20:14.

And in a way, frustrating for Ouseph more, in that having come twice

:20:15.:20:28.

back, to be in contact, it got away from him. It was more his poor play

:20:29.:20:32.

than superb play from Chong Wei Feng. Yes, Chong Wei Feng is sitting

:20:33.:20:38.

back quite nicely and waiting for the opportunities given to him like

:20:39.:20:44.

what we just saw. But you are right, Ouseph is making too many mistakes

:20:45.:20:50.

and kind of unforced. He has got to find that rhythm, he has got to

:20:51.:20:55.

stand better on the court, his defence has to be up and running and

:20:56.:21:01.

then start working his way and waiting for the opportunities. It is

:21:02.:21:05.

like he is trying to hard to Bush and therefore he is making mistakes.

:21:06.:21:16.

Trying to hard to push. England's banker was the mixed doubles which

:21:17.:21:24.

they did win. Then there were two 50-50 matches, this one and the

:21:25.:21:29.

women's doubles and one felt that England had to win one of those to

:21:30.:21:34.

regain the gold medal from Malaysia who have won it in the last two

:21:35.:21:39.

Commonwealth Games. I think if Malaysia wins this men's singles,

:21:40.:21:45.

they stand a very good chance of taking the men's doubles afterwards

:21:46.:21:47.

and the women's singles which would make it 3-1. But let's see. Ouseph

:21:48.:21:54.

still has hopefully two games. A good start for Chong Wei Feng. He

:21:55.:23:07.

led 4-0 in the first game. Ouseph never led at all in that opening

:23:08.:23:08.

game. That is better! Much more patient

:23:09.:23:56.

and waiting for the right moments to attack. Yes, the best rally that

:23:57.:24:03.

Ouseph has played and that is the answer should he get back into the

:24:04.:24:07.

match. That will force Chong Wei Feng a little

:24:08.:24:10.

match. That will force Chong Wei He is sitting back and waiting and

:24:11.:24:14.

getting opportunities and scoring them but he is

:24:15.:24:17.

getting opportunities and scoring on the mistakes of Ouseph. Can

:24:18.:24:22.

Ouseph cut them down and wait and take his chances? Then we will see

:24:23.:24:26.

if he can get back in the match. And the fact that Chong Wei Feng

:24:27.:24:57.

went for the line there just perhaps suggests he is feeling a little more

:24:58.:25:03.

under pressure now. If this carries on, yes, he will.

:25:04.:25:18.

Ouseph draws level. Can he moved in front for the first time in either

:25:19.:25:22.

game? Lovely disguise on that smash. The

:25:23.:25:49.

lift was so short that Ouseph really had to take a chance and guess what

:25:50.:25:53.

side to go to and he guessed wrong. Rallies like this can really change

:25:54.:26:20.

a match. He gave himself a much bigger margin

:26:21.:27:04.

of error on that favourite smash, from the backhand corner going

:27:05.:27:08.

straight. He went for the big power.

:27:09.:28:20.

slice drop. Really well played. And you can see how short it is. Around

:28:21.:28:25.

the first line, where it should be. That is very short. Very fast shots,

:28:26.:28:32.

as well. A lot more effective than many of these matches. -- smashes.

:28:33.:29:01.

We held 6000 people in the arena and throughout the first days, the team

:29:02.:29:07.

competition, we have had terrific crowds.

:29:08.:29:15.

Although this is the gold medal match, six more days of badminton to

:29:16.:29:21.

come as we start to the individual events. 9am tomorrow. The finals are

:29:22.:29:28.

on Sunday. It is a useful advantage for Rajiv

:29:29.:30:14.

Ouseph. Is this simply down to him cutting

:30:15.:31:00.

out the errors? I think so, I actually think so. He is playing

:31:01.:31:09.

with more patience. He is not taking the same chances. He made a few

:31:10.:31:14.

unforced, but not many. He is waiting patiently. On many

:31:15.:31:21.

occasions, Chong Wei Feng is making the mistake. It is about keeping,

:31:22.:31:27.

again, a tight ship, holding onto it, not being adventurous, play safe

:31:28.:31:33.

and steady. Keep it going. When the chances are there, go for the

:31:34.:31:38.

winners. It goes for both players. They can wait for the other one to

:31:39.:31:48.

make a mistake. It is a very patient game. It would have been a straight

:31:49.:32:04.

winner, had it not been helped. -- been out.

:32:05.:32:10.

If I watch Tom Wei Feng, I would change things -- Chong Wei Feng, I

:32:11.:32:22.

would change things a little bit now. Attacking the body, trying to

:32:23.:32:28.

go in and see if he can get some of these flat exchanges. When you play

:32:29.:32:33.

against somebody who is tall, they are normally not so good around the

:32:34.:32:39.

body. He would get into trouble. I think the body smash was the right

:32:40.:32:43.

thing to do, but he has two hit it on the forehand side. -- has to hit

:32:44.:32:56.

it. Rajiv Ouseph, when he got into that situation, he blocked it, to

:32:57.:33:04.

get the lift to get out of it. It is for Chong Wei think to really try to

:33:05.:33:15.

get him into it. -- Chong Wei Feng. That was a good, decisive smash.

:33:16.:33:27.

Maintaining the 3-point advantage he had at the interval.

:33:28.:34:12.

Once again, Patience pays off. This time for Chong Wei Feng. Neither has

:34:13.:34:27.

the explosive power to dominate. I am sitting here and I am desperate

:34:28.:34:34.

to find a way out of it for either one. As you rightly say, they do not

:34:35.:34:41.

have a game plan that can hurt the other, therefore they have to wait

:34:42.:34:42.

for their chances. That was good judgement by Chong Wei

:34:43.:36:32.

Feng, as he levels of the second game. -- levels off. That patience

:36:33.:36:46.

paid off. Not really going for any big shots. That is how both of them

:36:47.:36:49.

play. They wait and wait. Talk about wearing down your

:36:50.:37:46.

opponent! This is unusual today, to see rallies like this and patients

:37:47.:37:52.

like this. The one who is opening up is the one who is losing,

:37:53.:37:54.

like this. The one who is opening up are both sitting back and waiting

:37:55.:38:01.

and you get rallies like this. Speaks the man who once played a

:38:02.:38:04.

rally of over 90 shots at the all Speaks the man who once played a

:38:20.:38:24.

me. And all England final. Yes, again, waiting for the moment.

:38:25.:39:00.

That's likely loose shot was the moment for Rajiv Ouseph to pounce.

:39:01.:39:14.

It was good play by him. Once again, Chong Wei Feng, he will have to do

:39:15.:39:22.

something. Rajiv Ouseph is quite happy to do what is happening right

:39:23.:39:27.

now. He is winning most of them. That is another.

:39:28.:39:52.

It was called good. That was a mis-judgement. And now a four point

:39:53.:40:11.

advantage, deep in the second game. That was a good defensive shot. Just

:40:12.:40:55.

going wide. Ouseph, making it an almost

:40:56.:41:31.

impossible shot -- cord. Chong Wei Feng, at the moment, it is not

:41:32.:41:44.

enough. He has to start playing some power smashes and try to penetrate,

:41:45.:41:45.

if he can. He was appealing to the umpire, but

:41:46.:42:38.

no overall. She has to be convinced it was a clear mistake. That was on

:42:39.:42:44.

the line, to my mind. Incidentally, in major tournaments now in the

:42:45.:42:53.

badminton world circuit... We have Hawk-eye. Every player is having two

:42:54.:43:01.

attempts. If you are successful, you keep the attempt. If you are

:43:02.:43:07.

unsuccessful you have one left and eventually none left. It is getting

:43:08.:43:23.

very tight again. It looked pretty secure at 19-15. But he has changed

:43:24.:43:30.

his tactics. He was playing extremely patiently and suddenly he

:43:31.:43:36.

started attacking and wanted to see if he can finish it early and

:43:37.:43:39.

straight away he is in trouble again. He has got to be so patient.

:43:40.:43:51.

It is two game points to Rajiv Ouseph to level the match.

:43:52.:44:32.

That is wild! That was a gift. And Ouseph claims the second Game 21-19.

:44:33.:44:51.

There was no doubt that Ouseph had to continue what he did when he got

:44:52.:45:00.

away in that second game at 19-15. He played very patiently, just

:45:01.:45:04.

waiting for his chances and bought mistakes from his opponent. He has

:45:05.:45:08.

got to keep that the whole time but I fear that Chong Wei Feng has to

:45:09.:45:15.

find a way now. He cannot sit back, he has to open up and by doing that,

:45:16.:45:20.

he obviously makes himself vulnerable. This will be a very

:45:21.:45:31.

interesting third game. I am a rock -- reminded of a lyric in a song,

:45:32.:45:39.

killing me softly. Ouseph has two kill him softly, by being patient

:45:40.:45:43.

and deliberate and raining himself in. Obviously Chong Wei Feng will go

:45:44.:45:55.

more and more crazy, taking chances and then he can make mistakes.

:45:56.:46:05.

Confirmation of the scoreline. Remember, the overall position in

:46:06.:46:13.

the tie is that England lead 1-0 having won the mixed doubles in

:46:14.:46:17.

straight games, saving five game points in the second game. Chris and

:46:18.:46:24.

Gabby Adcock, but that was the England banker. They need this match

:46:25.:46:30.

as well if they are to rest this gold medal match back from Malaysia

:46:31.:46:36.

who won in Delhi four years ago and in Melbourne eight years ago.

:46:37.:47:43.

Yes, I think this is the right tactic by Rajiv Ouseph. Just playing

:47:44.:47:55.

patiently and eventually the mistakes will come from Chong Wei

:47:56.:48:01.

Feng. The Malaysian has got to find ways here, I don't think he can win

:48:02.:48:03.

this way. Good smash. It forced the loose net

:48:04.:48:46.

shop but Ouseph was a little slow getting forward. -- net shot.

:48:47.:49:25.

He had totally committed himself to the attack. Yes, he got in to close

:49:26.:49:35.

at the net here and totally exposed himself.

:49:36.:50:31.

This time Ouseph did at least get to that heavy slice drop that has been

:50:32.:50:53.

effective for the Malaysian. Using his height, but that shot was too

:50:54.:51:07.

low. Once again, I think it is a good proof of Ouseph waiting for his

:51:08.:51:14.

opportunities, playing very safe and steady rallies, not opening up too

:51:15.:51:19.

soon. Chong Wei Feng will come to him.

:51:20.:51:26.

And in going for the big shots, he will start missing a few. Anxious

:51:27.:51:35.

faces amongst the Malaysian fans and there are plenty of them in the

:51:36.:51:45.

arena. Yes, in Kuala Lumpur he is always leading the pack, so to

:51:46.:51:50.

speak, always cheering for the Malaysian 's. Sometimes I think they

:51:51.:51:57.

bring him around the world! Good shot.

:51:58.:52:08.

Being hypercritical, is Ouseph clearing too much to the forehand

:52:09.:52:18.

given it is a left-hander? I think Chong Wei Feng is such a fast

:52:19.:52:21.

player, whether you play him forehand or back hand, he always has

:52:22.:52:28.

good time. Obviously you have to play with proper length and that is

:52:29.:52:35.

what matters the most. Now he is losing it.

:52:36.:52:56.

It is the English team bench with the other coaches there and the

:52:57.:54:12.

reserve players. Once again, interesting to see that the rally is

:54:13.:54:19.

not one by the big power smash but by the delicate top shop, the slice

:54:20.:54:26.

or the drop shots. That is the way the rallies are finished, not by the

:54:27.:54:42.

big power smashes. My word. That was over, that was over. It almost stuck

:54:43.:54:54.

at the top of the net! There is no expression, absolutely no expression

:54:55.:55:01.

on the face of Rajiv Ouseph when he is playing a shot like that.

:55:02.:55:39.

As previously mentioned, very well played by Ouseph, sitting back and

:55:40.:55:48.

waiting, good defence. Chong Wei Feng will come to him.

:55:49.:56:28.

It is going to go long. Incidentally, if you are thinking

:56:29.:56:36.

when Chong Wei Feng is going up for the smash and the Malaysian

:56:37.:56:42.

supporters are shouting, don't think that is wrong, that is normal in

:56:43.:56:47.

Asia. There is no such thing as staying quiet in the rallies, it is

:56:48.:56:53.

bedlam! It is great fun. It is the best, it is wonderful to play out

:56:54.:56:57.

there and it does not put the players off at all.

:56:58.:57:25.

Yes! And now he is saying, come on! That is good, nice to see an

:57:26.:57:36.

expression on his face here. interval, this is a big chance to

:57:37.:58:29.

take, taking into account what we have seen the last 15 minutes, but

:58:30.:58:36.

it was well played by Ouseph. He loves the reaction. P wants to win

:58:37.:58:43.

this match and bring England to a 2-0 lead -- he wants.

:58:44.:58:57.

I think it is the same person, I am sure they bring him around the

:58:58.:59:01.

world! I do not know whether there is a

:59:02.:00:09.

change of tactics or whether Rajiv Ouseph feels under pressure to play

:00:10.:00:14.

the bass line. With the drift, it is marginal, but it can play a role. --

:00:15.:00:24.

baseline. It could be the reason he is changing something now. His lead

:00:25.:00:33.

at the mid-game interval is down to one. The drift, the flow of air in

:00:34.:00:41.

the hall, it is one. The drift, the flow of air in

:00:42.:00:48.

blowing from behind Rajiv Ouseph. The interval undoubtedly affected

:00:49.:00:55.

Rajiv Ouseph in the first game and it has here because he has lost four

:00:56.:00:58.

straight points on the resumption. Ouseph, he goes back to patients. He

:00:59.:02:11.

knows that is the way to do it, even when playing with drift. The drift

:02:12.:02:17.

is marginal. An inch or two. Surely he can control it. Chong Wei Feng

:02:18.:02:35.

And, having to dig deep now. Past the hour mark for the match. Having

:02:36.:02:49.

seen him grind out the last points and then making an error, you think

:02:50.:02:55.

why? I am asking the same question. I cannot really tell you.

:02:56.:03:31.

A crosscourt clear would have been good, played to the backhand of

:03:32.:03:41.

Chong Wei Feng. Instead, he chose the option of the smash. Again, the

:03:42.:03:53.

smashes easily blocked back. Chong Wei Feng, four points behind at the

:03:54.:03:59.

interval, he has won seven of the last eight points and this could be

:04:00.:04:01.

a decisive move for the Malaysian. I felt that if Rajiv Ouseph had it

:04:02.:04:33.

in his hands, he would know what to do. But I think he has lost the plot

:04:34.:04:41.

a little bit here. That was a little bit of respite.

:04:42.:05:52.

Brilliant play by Chong Wei Feng. The via shot he played was really

:05:53.:06:04.

good. The way he is holding it and then choosing the drop shot, it was

:06:05.:06:07.

very nicely done. That one was beautiful.

:06:08.:07:01.

That was well played. Suddenly, the matches having a better effect. --

:07:02.:07:13.

the smash. He is standing in the corner. Not really getting out of

:07:14.:07:15.

the corner. That has been his most effective

:07:16.:07:55.

shot. The slice smash. Finding a lovely angle.

:07:56.:08:09.

Whose heart will be the stronger? 17-16, final game. That is what it

:08:10.:08:15.

comes down to now. He found the line. Rajiv Ouseph does

:08:16.:08:29.

not agree. That is the problem. He was

:08:30.:09:05.

overcommitted and could not recover. This could be the decisive moment.

:09:06.:09:17.

Good play by Chong Wei Feng, standing his ground.

:09:18.:09:38.

He went for the spectacular. I think he is a little bit angry on himself.

:09:39.:10:31.

That was a very, very good shot. It was an extraordinary shot in a

:10:32.:10:38.

situation like this. He missed it. Well, well, well.

:10:39.:11:12.

Three match points have been saved. Just one remains. Great defence.

:11:13.:11:38.

That was too short. Chong Wei Feng has ended this 70 minute match.

:11:39.:12:04.

Two of the leading seeds in the men's singles in the individual

:12:05.:12:20.

competition have reduced an epic. I felt that when Rajiv Ouseph went to

:12:21.:12:30.

the mid-game interval four up, urging the crowd on, it was almost

:12:31.:12:34.

as if he got involved in the wonderful atmosphere and it took him

:12:35.:12:40.

away from the patient role. Either that, or he did not believe he could

:12:41.:12:46.

do it that way. I think he was doubting it. Whether he dared to do

:12:47.:12:51.

it, I do not know. That is when I said he had lost the plot. He had a

:12:52.:12:58.

tactic that worked. Did he dared to play at? He came back, he had some

:12:59.:13:04.

good smashes in the third game. That was really good. He had a plan, and

:13:05.:13:08.

I think he lost it somewhere along the way.

:13:09.:13:14.

The contest finely poised. It is the best of five overall and could go

:13:15.:13:23.

right now let's get back to Maneesh Welcome back to our coverage of

:16:30.:17:15.

Glasgow 2014. We will be back to the badminton shortly for the rest of

:17:16.:17:18.

the event we were showing you but first news from the weightlifting.

:17:19.:17:23.

That was the scene of the gold for Zoe Smith a couple of days ago. This

:17:24.:17:27.

time we were hoping for similar success for a 15-year-old girl from

:17:28.:17:33.

Yorkshire who is in the 68th kilogram category, she goes by the

:17:34.:17:38.

name of Rebekah Tiler. She is not missing school, it is the summer

:17:39.:17:43.

holidays now but could she come away from these games with a medal? After

:17:44.:17:48.

the first discipline she was in fourth place, five kilograms outside

:17:49.:17:54.

her bronze medal spot. In the clean and jerk, she would likely have to

:17:55.:17:59.

lift over 120 kilograms to get a medal. She made a good start,

:18:00.:18:05.

clearing 118 kilograms but she would need more and we can pick it up now

:18:06.:18:09.

with her attempting an astonishing 123 kilograms.

:18:10.:18:15.

COMMENTATOR: Rebekah Tiler, this would take her to 214 and put her on

:18:16.:18:24.

to the podium. That is a great clean. The bar just went in front of

:18:25.:18:33.

her. Her hips went behind and she could not hold it. She was in a rush

:18:34.:18:38.

and that is understandable, the clean was so easy, she threw that

:18:39.:18:44.

bar but when it is in front, you cannot hold on. She just has too

:18:45.:18:53.

correct it. The English camp were gutted last night with Jack Oliver

:18:54.:18:57.

who came so close to a bronze medal. You can see that she is ready to

:18:58.:19:14.

come out here and do this. This is an amazing situation to find

:19:15.:19:20.

yourself in, in your home nations, your hometown audience. But also,

:19:21.:19:27.

the youngest Brit ever to win a national title, youth European

:19:28.:19:32.

champion, aged 15, remarkable. It is very remarkable. She has a minute

:19:33.:19:39.

and a half, time is not an issue. She does not want to spend much time

:19:40.:19:44.

on the platform. She is going to have to spend a couple more seconds

:19:45.:19:52.

in between the clean and the jerk. She is just trying to make sure

:19:53.:19:58.

in between the clean and the jerk. this. If you go too quickly, the bar

:19:59.:20:02.

cannot come to a standstill and you need that to get your balance in a

:20:03.:20:06.

solid position. need that to get your balance in a

:20:07.:20:10.

This for the bronze... Bring it on! She couldn't hold it. And in the

:20:11.:20:30.

blink of an eye, it disappears. I think she has also hurt her back

:20:31.:20:35.

unfortunately. She held on as long as possible and I think it hurt her

:20:36.:20:39.

physically. She took her time and did what she had to do. There is so

:20:40.:20:47.

much swing on the bar, you can see on her shoulders... She could not

:20:48.:20:52.

control it, that was the problem. Rebekah had to settle for fourth

:20:53.:21:05.

place in the end but it was a remarkable effort and I am sure we

:21:06.:21:09.

will be hearing her name in the future. Back to the badminton and it

:21:10.:21:15.

is all to play for in the final of the mixed team event. Next it is the

:21:16.:21:19.

men's doubles between England and Malaysia. The ultimate winners go on

:21:20.:21:25.

to win gold. Back to our commentators.

:21:26.:21:31.

COMMENTATOR: The semifinal against India, they looked very nervous.

:21:32.:21:42.

Ladies and gentlemen, on my right, England. And on my left, Malaysia.

:21:43.:22:42.

Malaysian pair, is their three-time gold medal winner at the last, love

:22:43.:22:56.

games left the National Federation, it has all changed.

:22:57.:23:00.

games left the National Federation, there is any injury problems, I

:23:01.:23:05.

think this pair, they are trying to find a replacement for the pair that

:23:06.:23:08.

won the gold medal last time. And I am interested by this

:23:09.:23:26.

Malaysian pair. I think that Goh has the most incredible smash, power but

:23:27.:23:33.

more importantly angle and placement from the back of the court. Tan, the

:23:34.:23:39.

way he reads the game up front is quite exceptional. They have all the

:23:40.:23:43.

trappings to be a world-class pair. The reason I was saying, now that

:23:44.:24:14.

they don't have the pressure and they are not expected to win this,

:24:15.:24:20.

Adcock and Ellis, as you rightly said, they looked a little nervous

:24:21.:24:25.

yesterday against India. Because of that, they did not play the level of

:24:26.:24:31.

badminton that I know that they can play. Certainly they will have two

:24:32.:24:38.

lift their standard from yesterday but they are more than capable of

:24:39.:24:44.

doing that. At the moment it is a hesitant start from them. A few

:24:45.:24:47.

errors. It is a dangerous tactic to lift to

:24:48.:25:33.

Goh V Shem at the back of the court, as we said earlier, he has a lethal

:25:34.:25:40.

smash. That serve was halfway up the net.

:25:41.:26:08.

They have not been able to mount any sustained attacks so far, Adcock and

:26:09.:26:12.

Ellis. As soon as Goh V Shem gets the

:26:13.:27:05.

opportunity to smash, he does seem to make a big difference in the

:27:06.:27:09.

rally. That was almost a nasty slip from Goh V Shem. I do think that the

:27:10.:27:16.

English pair in that rally were trying to play too quickly. It is an

:27:17.:27:21.

instinctive thing to do when you are a little bit nervous. You just want

:27:22.:27:26.

to hit the shuttle and get involved, you so want to do well but

:27:27.:27:32.

actually you have to have a calm head and take the pace out of the

:27:33.:27:36.

shuttle. The Malaysian pair will thrive off the fast play.

:27:37.:27:55.

Amazing that the Malaysian 's did not realise that.

:27:56.:28:27.

That is the sort of shot that really I would like to see the English

:28:28.:28:38.

doing. The strings, otherwise the tension of the remaining strings

:28:39.:28:39.

will bust the frame of the racket. dominated the first half. That was a

:28:40.:29:29.

beautiful crosscourt drive into the space.

:29:30.:29:48.

The English coach wants them to be more alert at the front of the

:29:49.:29:57.

court. I think they have to be more positive from the onset of the

:29:58.:30:01.

rally. They are not putting enough pressure on their opponents from the

:30:02.:30:02.

return of serve. That slowed the pace. The advice of

:30:03.:30:21.

the coach. The coach had noticed what I had noticed - trying to play

:30:22.:30:29.

too quickly. Softer shots and your opponents have nothing to feed off.

:30:30.:30:52.

That was excellent defence from Adcock.

:30:53.:31:04.

That was lucky. He created his own luck.

:31:05.:31:17.

That was lucky. He created his own from the Malaysians. In the right

:31:18.:31:18.

place at the right time. his good fortune. -- hand in

:31:19.:31:27.

apology. I think the strings have gone again.

:31:28.:31:49.

Hence the drop shot. And again. He is running off to change racquet!

:31:50.:31:56.

Perfectly legitimate to do that. It happens a lot.

:31:57.:32:17.

The wife had a good laugh about that, Gabby Adcock. His doubles

:32:18.:32:23.

partner and partner in life. They have got to learn. That is very

:32:24.:32:46.

dangerous. Perfect placement. That was brilliantly taken by Andy

:32:47.:33:15.

Ellis. My goodness me. How will that he

:33:16.:33:34.

up, ready, just brushing it off the top of the tape.

:33:35.:33:48.

To me, this is the difference between the two pairs. Look at the

:33:49.:33:55.

pressure the Malaysians put on the return of serve. Only a couple of

:33:56.:34:02.

shots from the Malaysians to win the rally.

:34:03.:34:16.

Is a factor that the Malaysians are serving that little bit better? I do

:34:17.:34:24.

not think the English players are doing the right thing on the return

:34:25.:34:28.

of serve. Maybe not committed enough coming forward, not putting enough

:34:29.:34:33.

pressure on and varying the return enough. My goodness me. It was

:34:34.:34:44.

called wired and the Malaysians do not agree. There is no challenge

:34:45.:34:48.

system here. That certainly looked good. It was

:34:49.:35:03.

almost as if the Malaysian players were asking for a challenge. We saw

:35:04.:35:10.

that from one of the singles players earlier in the week from Malaysia.

:35:11.:35:18.

It is an unbelievable smash. Goh V Shem leaping from the baseline

:35:19.:35:32.

position. The shuttle, hit down the backhand side and yet they play with

:35:33.:35:36.

the normal overhead action. That is a better return of serve

:35:37.:36:01.

from Andy Ellis. Once more, the lead is cut to two points.

:36:02.:36:31.

Yes. Great to see him here. A little committed to the backhand defence.

:36:32.:37:00.

The first one, could not get it away from the net player. That was a

:37:01.:37:09.

great reaction to the Flex server. -- flick.

:37:10.:37:19.

It was an even better return. It was a great smash from Chris Adcock.

:37:20.:38:05.

Nice to see the rotational play. Chris Adcock moves out and Andy

:38:06.:38:34.

Ellis immediately comes forward. That is the first time they have

:38:35.:38:45.

been level since 0-0. That was good. Not only anticipating

:38:46.:39:54.

well, Tan Wee Kiong, but this backhand kill, hardly any backswing

:39:55.:40:00.

of the racket. And yet it generates quite a bit of pace. Immensely

:40:01.:40:06.

powerful wrists, badminton players have.

:40:07.:40:18.

It was called out. Chris Adcock appealed and looked up to the giant

:40:19.:41:04.

screen, to try to see a replay. My initial reaction was I had sympathy

:41:05.:41:06.

for the English pair. They are taking a controversial

:41:07.:41:41.

replays of the screen but that was clearly in.

:41:42.:42:07.

That was well worked. That is great rotational play by Adcock and Ellis.

:42:08.:42:22.

The atmosphere is different from badminton in the church hall. Still

:42:23.:42:31.

game point. One more. Such another brilliant game. The

:42:32.:43:02.

early lead they took was to prove decisive. The English pair so nearly

:43:03.:43:17.

clawed it back. 21-19. Do not have it at half-mast! An extraordinary

:43:18.:43:26.

shot in the middle of this rally, between the legs. The defensive

:43:27.:43:27.

shot. There we go. opponents are smashing from close to

:43:28.:43:55.

the net. behind yesterday, Adcock and Ellis,

:43:56.:44:39.

but they are facing tougher opponents today. But the way they

:44:40.:44:48.

played in that opening game, the fact that it was so close proves

:44:49.:44:56.

they have the capability. I think this men's doubles is far from

:44:57.:44:57.

over. They were using the wrong tactics,

:44:58.:45:10.

but if they could slow the game down a little and get the Malaysians out

:45:11.:45:18.

of favoured formation with Goh V Shem at the back, I am not

:45:19.:45:24.

of favoured formation with Goh V that is a weak option but it

:45:25.:45:27.

deviates from their favoured formation.

:45:28.:46:18.

The serve and looking for the third shot. That is what the English pair

:46:19.:46:34.

have to do they want to extend this men's doubles.

:46:35.:46:50.

Unbelievable! At its best, men's doubles is such a wonderful

:46:51.:46:58.

spectacle. It is very very clever from Tan Wee

:46:59.:47:20.

Kiong. He varies the pace so nicely from the front of the court.

:47:21.:47:30.

Trying to be more aggressive on the service return but just making one

:47:31.:47:37.

or two errors. When I was saying in the first game that I would like to

:47:38.:47:42.

see them putting more pressure on their opponents, it is not

:47:43.:47:48.

necessarily that shot. At the moment it is passive. Have we seen a push

:47:49.:47:57.

into the back corner yet? No. We have seen a lot of net shots.

:47:58.:48:18.

The net shot was loose, it just played into the hands of Tan Wee

:48:19.:48:24.

Kiong. You cannot block crosscourt from

:48:25.:48:28.

there and make it as loose as that. Better return that time which was

:48:29.:48:46.

pushed into the net cord area. It is very noticeable to me that

:48:47.:49:23.

when the English are serving, the rallies, too often are too short

:49:24.:49:28.

because the Malaysians are putting so much pressure on.

:49:29.:49:48.

That is fantastic from Goh V Shem. Once again, watch the backhand.

:49:49.:50:03.

Hardly any back swing, hardly any follow-through, he will release the

:50:04.:50:11.

grip or loosen the grip on the racket and tighten it as he is about

:50:12.:50:15.

to hit it and that, with the timing of the shot, creates the power.

:50:16.:50:51.

The English pair don't like the call! The Malaysians fans are

:50:52.:50:56.

celebrating. Well, desperately close. Andy Ellis

:50:57.:51:17.

saying that is two of them. And he has a considerable point.

:51:18.:51:26.

That one is wide. But did you notice the serve at the beginning? It was a

:51:27.:51:36.

clever variation from the Malaysians, serving out wide and

:51:37.:51:42.

immediately looked for the straight push. I would like to see more

:51:43.:51:47.

variation from the English pair now on the serve. Well...

:51:48.:51:57.

A wry smile from the Malaysians, I was not convinced by that either.

:51:58.:52:10.

That was in too, I think. I make that 2-2 on line calls them! --

:52:11.:52:15.

then. You see, I don't think the English

:52:16.:52:34.

should be afraid when Goh V Shem is at the net to play it back there. A

:52:35.:52:41.

nice little soft lock. He is not as comfortable in the front court area

:52:42.:52:48.

as his partner Tan Wee Kiong. That was a shocking serve. So loose.

:52:49.:52:58.

Which means that the Malaysians have a 3-point advantage as we reach the

:52:59.:53:00.

interval. I'm afraid I was struggling to

:53:01.:53:29.

what the coach was saying. Look at how loose that serve was. It got

:53:30.:53:34.

what it deserved. But from his gestures, I think he was saying

:53:35.:53:40.

something about a little hold and click the into the back corners. I

:53:41.:53:47.

could be way off, I am just trying to interpret his hand gestures as to

:53:48.:53:50.

what he might have been trying to advise his men.

:53:51.:53:55.

Which is one of the things I suggested, there has been nothing

:53:56.:54:03.

played to be deep corners, flat, and attacking shot. That is a much

:54:04.:54:08.

better return of serve. The whole tone of a rally is

:54:09.:54:26.

determined by the serve, the return and the third shot. It is absolutely

:54:27.:54:28.

vital. What a glorious block from Tan Wee

:54:29.:54:56.

Kiong off the smash. The block, and he immediately moved forward. And

:54:57.:55:02.

just takes the shuttle off the top of the net. That is exactly what the

:55:03.:55:06.

English pair need to do. He certainly did extremely well on

:55:07.:55:31.

variation. He certainly did extremely well on

:55:32.:55:51.

that first defensive shot, swayed his body out of the way to give

:55:52.:55:55.

himself the freedom to play the shot.

:55:56.:56:03.

The softer shot, the change of pace. That is lovely play. And it

:56:04.:56:18.

draws Adcock and Ellis level at 12-12. Service fault called, above

:56:19.:56:23.

the waist. We should just explain that the

:56:24.:56:47.

waste in Badminton is defined as below the lowest rib.

:56:48.:56:53.

Sustained attack again, the rotation of the smashes.

:56:54.:57:14.

Well, Adcock says... Saying that Tan Wee Kiong was moving before the

:57:15.:57:25.

shuttle was struck. No. Fabulous. My goodness me. Tan Wee

:57:26.:58:01.

Kiong. Well, all throughout this competition in my opinion he has

:58:02.:58:08.

been outstanding. Maybe I should just explain, on the return of

:58:09.:58:12.

serve, as long as your feet don't move... What he did that was sing on

:58:13.:58:18.

his knees and crouched down a bit lower, that is permissible, you are

:58:19.:58:23.

just not allowed to move your feet before the shuttle has been struck.

:58:24.:58:42.

From 12-12, they have won four points.

:58:43.:59:01.

Going for the angle. Almost a half smash. Sacrificing powerful

:59:02.:59:19.

placement. -- power for placement. The second one down the tramline.

:59:20.:59:25.

With the half power, landing shorter.

:59:26.:00:01.

He is not exactly a slouch when it comes to smashing, Tan Wee Kiong. I

:00:02.:00:11.

am not convinced by the lift. It was too flat, not deep enough. Look at

:00:12.:00:15.

where the feet of Tan Wee Kiong world. -- were.

:00:16.:01:07.

Oh, brilliant. The interception again from Tan Wee Kiong.

:01:08.:01:23.

Look at how he moves even before the shot has been played. He is

:01:24.:01:27.

anticipating. It has landed in. There is no

:01:28.:02:24.

dispute about that. An extraordinary rally. Brilliant defence from both

:02:25.:02:34.

sides. Maybe there was a hint of exhaustion in the decision to let

:02:35.:02:41.

the final shot drop. Frustration, I think, that they had played so well

:02:42.:02:46.

throughout the rally but could not find the winner. As the rally was in

:02:47.:02:52.

progress... Crikey, it was in by a country mile in badminton terms. I

:02:53.:02:57.

could not help but think if the English could win that point, it

:02:58.:03:03.

would be a game changer. That is wide. Five match points for the

:03:04.:03:07.

Malaysians. He ran off to get a new racket, but

:03:08.:04:28.

it was not required. Another brilliant smash by Goh V Shem wraps

:04:29.:04:37.

it up. 42 minutes. Malaysia are in front, 2-1 with two left to play.

:04:38.:04:47.

The Malaysians are now very much firm favourites to win the gold

:04:48.:04:53.

medal in the team competition for the third straight Commonwealth

:04:54.:04:54.

Games. Advantage very much Malaysia in that

:04:55.:05:06.

contest. We are at the Pacific Quay. Later tonight, Qais Ashfaq from

:05:07.:05:21.

England's world take on the Lesotho boxer. This is Qais Ashfaq's story.

:05:22.:05:37.

I am from Leeds. My roots are in Pakistan. Both of my parents were

:05:38.:05:42.

born there. I am proud to represent England in the boxing ring. This is

:05:43.:05:47.

my Commonwealth connection. I must've been eight years, nine years

:05:48.:05:53.

old, my cousin used to box. My uncle promised to take me to the gym and I

:05:54.:05:58.

loved every minute of it. I would not say I was serious about it until

:05:59.:06:04.

12, 13. Especially after my first national title. I thought I could do

:06:05.:06:13.

something. Come on in. I had better take my shoes off. My mum will kill

:06:14.:06:20.

me if I don't! This is my mum. This is my brother. One of my brothers. I

:06:21.:06:24.

have two brothers and two sisters. This is my dad. Hello. My parents

:06:25.:06:36.

are from Pakistan and that is where my background is. Even though I was

:06:37.:06:42.

born here, being from a different background and being able to

:06:43.:06:45.

represent the country is an honour. What is for dinner? Chicken. I am

:06:46.:06:56.

looking forward to that. It sounds tasty. And salad. He was born in

:06:57.:07:09.

1993. It was a happy time. He was born in Leeds General infirmary. He

:07:10.:07:18.

was premature. He was only three lb five ounces. The nurse used to come

:07:19.:07:30.

home. In 30 days he became a big boy. How long ago was this? 30 years

:07:31.:07:46.

ago. 1983. Olden times. He would have to keep the white suit clean!

:07:47.:07:53.

Why did you come from Pakistan? Our family was here. Your mother's and

:07:54.:07:59.

my family. They pushed us to come over. Initially, we came over for a

:08:00.:08:11.

visit. We then decided to stay. It was the general atmosphere of this

:08:12.:08:17.

country, plus I had better job prospects. The finance comes into

:08:18.:08:22.

it. When I came here I really liked it. It took me a few months, but I

:08:23.:08:28.

was OK. If you go out in England, nobody asks what you are doing. In

:08:29.:08:33.

Pakistan, if you go out, they ask questions, why are you going? That

:08:34.:08:39.

is what I loved. We came in February 1985. Since then, we have made our

:08:40.:08:54.

home here. You heard me. He is very much in touch with the Pakistani

:08:55.:08:58.

culture. He has not had the chance to go recently. I boxed in the

:08:59.:09:06.

Commonwealth youth games in 2011, I think it was. That is the gold medal

:09:07.:09:13.

I won there, with the mascot. We never thought of him representing

:09:14.:09:18.

Pakistan, because he was born and bred here. I do not think he could

:09:19.:09:25.

go and work with the Pakistani teams, coaches and things. That

:09:26.:09:37.

never crossed our minds. Pakistani culture has influenced my life. My

:09:38.:09:41.

parents have drilled it into me - go to Moscow, do my daily prayers.

:09:42.:09:49.

There is always influence around me -- mosque. I still eat Asian food. I

:09:50.:10:00.

love it to bits. My mum cooks it. I keep those things in my life. I look

:10:01.:10:08.

forward to hopefully winning B medal in the Commonwealth Games and taking

:10:09.:10:10.

it to Pakistan and showing the family. We are really proud of him

:10:11.:10:20.

to be fighting for England. If you have developed an interest to take

the future on this lot. We can get back to the main focus is on BBC

:10:43.:10:47.

Three this afternoon, the mixed team final, as far as England are

:10:48.:10:52.

concerned, in badminton. They are taking on Malaysia. They are 2-1

:10:53.:10:57.

down and it is now time for the women's singles contest.

:10:58.:11:11.

Tee Against Sarah Walker of England. England's hopes rest on the

:11:12.:11:30.

shoulders of Sarah Walker. Tee Jing Yi, she is 23 years of age. She has

:11:31.:11:42.

had mixed fortunes. Yesterday, against Singapore in the semifinal,

:11:43.:11:48.

she was beaten. Sarah Walker, yesterday, did not get to play. She

:11:49.:11:55.

was scheduled as the fourth match and, of course, England had already

:11:56.:12:01.

beaten India after the first three. Sarah Walker, 24, born in Basildon

:12:02.:12:08.

in Essex, but now living in Milton Keynes.

:12:09.:12:19.

Confirmation that it is a must win situation as far as the tie is

:12:20.:12:29.

concerned, because Sarah Walker, and England, 2-1 down or stop Malaysia

:12:30.:12:37.

only need one more match to retain the mixed team championship. Mike

:12:38.:12:54.

Walker, from Canada, the umpire. The service judges from India. -- judge

:12:55.:12:59.

is from. As the players get ready, this is

:13:00.:13:12.

probably the biggest match that Sarah Walker has ever had to play in

:13:13.:13:17.

her life. Not as experienced in international terms as most of her

:13:18.:13:25.

team-mates. There is a huge pressure on Sarah Walker.

:13:26.:13:47.

Ladies and gentlemen, on my right, England, represented by Sarah

:13:48.:13:51.

Walker. And on my left, Malaysia,

:13:52.:14:06.

represented by teaching ye. -- Tee Jing Yi. England to serve. Play.

:14:07.:14:17.

So the women's singles gets underway. Tee Jing Yi broke Scottish

:14:18.:14:32.

hearts in the quarterfinals when she beat Kirsty Gilmour. She lost in her

:14:33.:14:45.

semifinal but I don't expect that defeat to affect her today, she will

:14:46.:14:50.

have recovered from that. I think so, I think she will play a solid

:14:51.:14:57.

match here. In terms of style, she stands a very good chance here, it

:14:58.:15:04.

will suit her very well. Despite the fact that she lost yesterday, I

:15:05.:15:07.

don't think it will make any difference.

:15:08.:15:16.

And it is always a point of discussion in badminton, if a player

:15:17.:15:24.

is selected to play in the team as Sarah Walker was yesterday but

:15:25.:15:26.

didn't actually get to Sarah Walker was yesterday but

:15:27.:15:28.

match because England had already won, the debate is whether that is a

:15:29.:15:33.

match because England had already good thing or a bad thing. She has

:15:34.:15:36.

had a day 's rest but Aberdeen players are fit enough to play at

:15:37.:15:41.

least one match day -- badminton players. It may have relaxed her a

:15:42.:15:48.

bit for today's match. I never know if it is a good thing to have a day

:15:49.:15:56.

off or not. I agree, you never know. It depends on what happens now. If

:15:57.:16:01.

it is going to be a long, gruelling match, of course it would have been

:16:02.:16:04.

better to have not played yesterday but if it is fast and furious and

:16:05.:16:10.

she cannot follow, maybe it would have been good to blame yesterday so

:16:11.:16:15.

it goes both ways. -- to play yesterday.

:16:16.:17:05.

That is good fighting and well played. That back and got her out of

:17:06.:17:17.

trouble twice. -- that backhand. That was the second one.

:17:18.:17:35.

She took that very late. David Lindley on the left, one of the

:17:36.:17:42.

English coaches. I think Sarah Walker is doing the

:17:43.:18:24.

right thing. She is trying to both follow as well as she can and even

:18:25.:18:28.

take some initiative and go for smashes and trying to play winners.

:18:29.:18:36.

take some initiative and go for Tee Jing Yi has got a natural higher

:18:37.:18:42.

pace and therefore she is very often in command in the rallies.

:18:43.:18:49.

There we see Sarah Walker trying to get as much back as possible but she

:18:50.:18:56.

will be under a lot of pressure. It is just long. Nice idea. Yes, it

:18:57.:19:40.

was well played by Tee Jing Yi. That one there was a bit of a beauty.

:19:41.:19:46.

Some nice skill but clearly over the back line.

:19:47.:20:39.

That is terrific. She has lovely movement around the court, Tee Jing

:20:40.:20:52.

Yi. She has, that is why I says he has a natural higher pace. It will

:20:53.:20:58.

put Sarah Walker under a lot of pressure, just the mere fact that

:20:59.:21:03.

she is moving faster, playing faster shots, this natural faster pace.

:21:04.:21:14.

That has gone long and it is a 6-point advantage at the mid-game

:21:15.:21:35.

interval for the Malaysian Tee Jing Yi.

:21:36.:22:02.

Difficult to hear what the coach was saying. What would you have been

:22:03.:22:12.

saying? I would be very happy, I must say. I would stick to my guns

:22:13.:22:18.

here, don't do anything unnecessary. Keep a tight game, keep

:22:19.:22:26.

it going. As you say, she has got that natural pace which is

:22:27.:22:30.

definitely to her advantage. Let's see what Sarah Walker is coming up

:22:31.:22:33.

with, that would be my advice. She didn't really get behind that

:22:34.:23:03.

shot, that is why she made the error.

:23:04.:23:09.

That's nice. That is what you were suggesting, going for her shots. She

:23:10.:23:20.

has got to and especially to that forehand side. There is some open

:23:21.:23:26.

space there, trying to go for slices and smashes and half smashes down

:23:27.:23:29.

that side. Two-time national champion, Sarah

:23:30.:23:54.

Walker. She is very happy to have returned

:23:55.:24:19.

to the national setup having resigned in November last year. That

:24:20.:24:25.

is a lovely smash from Walker. Whatever happens, I think it was a

:24:26.:24:29.

low serve from Tee Jing Yi but so far, so good for Sarah Walker, good

:24:30.:24:37.

smashing down the line again. You said that Tee Jing Yi must be happy

:24:38.:24:45.

to be back in the national setup, she has been a really good player

:24:46.:24:50.

for the Malaysian side. Without her in the team, I think they would have

:24:51.:24:55.

been in dire straits. Yes. I think it was a very important win for

:24:56.:25:05.

Malaysia against Scotland. Scotland had won the first of the court of

:25:06.:25:13.

final matches, the Mixed Doubles -- quarterfinals.

:25:14.:25:22.

That is good play by Sarah Walker, she stayed in and played a good net

:25:23.:25:30.

shot and was able to kill it at the net which was a very good move.

:25:31.:25:57.

This is a good fight back by Sarah Walker. Suddenly some security is

:25:58.:26:04.

setting in. Wonderful smash down the line from

:26:05.:26:48.

that backhand side. The options that Tee Jing Yi has got from that

:26:49.:26:53.

backhand side, I would recommend that Sarah Walker is playing a

:26:54.:26:59.

little bit more to the forehand side because she has a lot of options on

:27:00.:27:01.

the backhand side. Keep it to that forehand side. Tee

:27:02.:27:42.

Jing Yi's options on the forehand side are slightly limited compared

:27:43.:27:43.

to the backhand. Two points from this opening game

:27:44.:28:00.

now, Two points from this opening game

:28:01.:28:11.

Malaysia. Good Two points from this opening game

:28:12.:28:16.

Sarah Walker, taking it very early. That one has landed in, that was

:28:17.:28:28.

nice play. You can visibly see

:28:29.:29:10.

growing. Very good rally. I like the attack and the pace she put into

:29:11.:29:15.

that. Not playing slow, but really punching, adding pressure in this

:29:16.:29:16.

rally. That was a good drive defence from

:29:17.:29:35.

Tee Jing Yi. Beginning to look That was a good drive defence from

:29:36.:29:53.

That could defence earns Tee Jing Yi four game point opportunities.

:29:54.:29:59.

Only needed the one. A little hop and skip after the rally. A most

:30:00.:30:13.

definite indication she is delighted with game number one. 21-16. In 16

:30:14.:30:17.

minutes of play. The little follow-through of that

:30:18.:30:55.

downward shot from Tee Jing Yi from the back of the court. Just clipping

:30:56.:30:59.

over the top of the shuttle. Malaysia just one gave away -- game

:31:00.:31:23.

away from retaining their team title. I think it becomes clear why

:31:24.:31:33.

the Men's Singles was so important. It was so important for England to

:31:34.:31:39.

win it and they lost it in a close match. The women's singles here

:31:40.:31:49.

having a very good chance of going the Malaysian wave. The Men's

:31:50.:31:52.

Doubles going the Malaysian way. 21-16, the opening game. That was

:31:53.:32:02.

nicely done. Talking about Punch clears in the

:32:03.:32:27.

opening game. Talking about them from Sarah Walker's point of view.

:32:28.:32:36.

Well played by Tee Jing Yi. That was really well punched. Very fast and

:32:37.:32:45.

very flat. Very difficult to intercept. A good follow-up. Very

:32:46.:32:59.

good from the onset of the rally. Nice net play, setting it up. That

:33:00.:33:02.

is textbook. You have so many options when you

:33:03.:33:42.

come forward to the net. Racket arm outstretched, come from above the

:33:43.:33:49.

shuttle, you can play the next shot and block as Tee Jing Yi did on that

:33:50.:33:55.

occasion, or you can play the pressure shot. That was nice. We

:33:56.:34:02.

have talked about her movement. Also, as indicated here, very good

:34:03.:34:11.

racket skills. She is most dangerous from the backhand side. A lot of

:34:12.:34:16.

options. That's a nice shot. I couple of big gulps of air from

:34:17.:34:48.

Sarah Walker, perhaps an indication of the faster pace. That was a lucky

:34:49.:35:03.

shot. A little bit of justice. It was a very lucky shot, the backhand

:35:04.:35:04.

shot. The jump smash, attempted jump

:35:05.:35:11.

smash. That was very unfortunate. I think

:35:12.:35:37.

that is one area where Sarah Walker is possibly a little bit better than

:35:38.:35:44.

her opponent, in the flat exchanges. If she hits

:35:45.:35:44.

her opponent, in the flat exchanges. If she them well, she is solid on

:35:45.:35:46.

it. Look at that jump smash. Played with

:35:47.:36:08.

disguise. The reverse disguise. That is beautiful. The little slice in

:36:09.:36:16.

it, I do not think it takes the power away.

:36:17.:36:36.

Dear me, that was not the best of service. It could have been played

:36:37.:36:47.

on purpose, like an invitation to a flat exchange. Yes, good point.

:36:48.:36:58.

Sarah Walker has to be careful to keep the score close. Yes.

:36:59.:37:10.

She may have made the error, but you are happy with that. I am. Perhaps

:37:11.:37:56.

another invitation. She needs to get the racket up earlier.

:37:57.:38:23.

Walker is playing well. If she can keep from making too many unforced

:38:24.:38:32.

errors, she might have a chance to stick with this. The errors, that

:38:33.:38:38.

will be the key. An interesting reaction from Tee

:38:39.:39:03.

Jing Yi. The 3-point advantage at the mid-game interval.

:39:04.:39:19.

I am not sure I heard that but it would look as if Peter Jeffrey was

:39:20.:39:29.

saying to get her racket up ready for the flat exchanges. The racket

:39:30.:39:33.

is hanging low, and she has for the flat exchanges. The racket

:39:34.:39:41.

it up. Did you have concerns about the little celebrations at the

:39:42.:39:47.

mid-game interval from Malaysia? I think Tee Jing Yi knows it is one of

:39:48.:39:53.

her moments and I think she is celebrating it because she really

:39:54.:39:54.

wants to win this for Malaysia. I always get nervous when athletes

:39:55.:40:06.

celebrate before the job is done, which is why I asked. I completely

:40:07.:40:12.

know where you are going. I think she is very focused. I think Walker

:40:13.:40:22.

changed her mind. The cushion is now five points.

:40:23.:40:42.

I liked the way Sarah Walker took that early.

:40:43.:40:50.

That was clever. It was, it was actually very clever. Attempting to

:40:51.:41:01.

go for another flat exchange and this time, Walker was ready, I

:41:02.:41:05.

think. She lifted it over. Unbelievable! What a defensive shot.

:41:06.:41:38.

The whole rally was really well played. Keep playing that pressure

:41:39.:41:47.

to the forehand side is what I have said. Control it better from that

:41:48.:41:54.

side. This shot was good, but the block shot cross on the defence was

:41:55.:41:56.

so beautiful. Yes. I get a sense that Tee Jing Yi

:41:57.:42:19.

could get a little bit nervous as she gets close to the finishing line

:42:20.:42:23.

and that is where Sarah Walker could... If she is close enough.

:42:24.:42:34.

Exactly. There is a chance. One more time. That is what I am saying,

:42:35.:42:37.

Exactly. There is a chance. One more time. That is what I am if you play

:42:38.:42:41.

the forehand corner, it is easier to control. She has few options on that

:42:42.:42:52.

side will stop -- on that side. Four of the last five points going to

:42:53.:42:56.

Sarah Walker. Is that a shift in momentum?

:42:57.:43:15.

That was very positive play from Tee Jing Yi. Dictating the pace of the

:43:16.:43:22.

rally. That was a good lift. From a net

:43:23.:43:57.

shot like that, that was a very good lift. Walker is convinced... It was

:43:58.:44:11.

called in. Was it called in? It was a long way out. Sorry, I was looking

:44:12.:44:20.

at the sideline judge. I am getting too excited and getting carried

:44:21.:44:21.

away! It is interesting to see, I am

:44:22.:44:52.

watching the coach and even he is sitting on the edge of his seat. He

:44:53.:44:58.

is such a laid back person, that is good to see.

:44:59.:45:05.

It is called wide. Walker doesn't like it. There is no way that the

:45:06.:45:18.

umpire can overrule that. He can only overrule if he sees that a

:45:19.:45:23.

clear error has been made and that is the far side of the court from

:45:24.:45:28.

where he is sitting. But no question of that one.

:45:29.:45:32.

Three points away from a third consecutive mixed team gold medal

:45:33.:45:39.

for Malaysia. That is about as excited as you will

:45:40.:45:52.

ever see him! That is what I mean. Pushed wide. Time is running out for

:45:53.:46:11.

England. Malaysia. Good, positive play. Good

:46:12.:46:40.

courage from Walker. Yes, I think she has played a really good match

:46:41.:46:47.

here, she has kept it together well and stayed in the match.

:46:48.:47:00.

Well, another loose, low serve but as you say, perhaps inviting the

:47:01.:47:12.

fast player Tee Jing Yi to change her mind. In all honesty, it was a

:47:13.:47:15.

woeful attempt at a return. It was. That is very, very good play from

:47:16.:47:35.

Tee Jing Yi. And the coach saying one more. Three match points. For

:47:36.:47:43.

the gold medal in the mixed team competition.

:47:44.:47:51.

Only needed one! And Malaysia, the two-time defending champions, have

:47:52.:48:06.

retained their title. Tee Jing Yi defeating Sarah Walker 21-16, 21-17.

:48:07.:48:20.

Well, Malaysia and team-mates run on to celebrate. -- Malaysian. Spare a

:48:21.:48:27.

thought for Sarah Walker, lovely that the interest player turned and

:48:28.:48:32.

applauded the crowd to thank them for their support. But it has been a

:48:33.:48:41.

very good performance by Malaysia. A good team effort and as much as

:48:42.:48:48.

Sarah Walker tried, and she did play well today... I think she played

:48:49.:48:49.

really well. Disappointment for England, picking

:48:50.:49:05.

up the silver medal. Excitement here, Wet Wet Wet are due to perform

:49:06.:49:16.

here later. You can see the queue is about 40 deep, maybe about 60 and

:49:17.:49:21.

there are another 80 to 100 people along the other side. Have a look

:49:22.:49:27.

over their, all the ladies and maybe one or two male fans looking forward

:49:28.:49:33.

to seeing Wet Wet Wet on the big stage at 8pm. There is also exciting

:49:34.:49:37.

building in the SECC because one of the favourites for flyweight gold,

:49:38.:49:42.

Paddy Barnes of Northern Ireland, is set to take to the ring. Let's see

:49:43.:49:44.

how he gets on in his first fight. COMMENTATOR: The man in red is

:49:45.:49:52.

Northern Ireland's COMMENTATOR: The man in red is

:49:53.:50:00.

and successful amateur boxer, the defending gold medallist from four

:50:01.:50:07.

years ago, Paddy Barnes. Double Olympic bronze medallist, European

:50:08.:50:12.

gold medallist, has boxed in four World Championships, determined to

:50:13.:50:15.

become the first Northern Irish boxer to defend a Commonwealth

:50:16.:50:20.

title. He was the first Irish boxer to win two successive Olympic boxing

:50:21.:50:24.

medals and is very much fancied for this contest but let's not forget

:50:25.:50:29.

his opponent, the 19-year-old from Tanzania. Paddy Barnes seems to have

:50:30.:50:44.

been around forever but is only 27 and he wants another crack at the

:50:45.:50:49.

Olympics in Rio de Janeiro having lost in two successive semifinals.

:50:50.:50:58.

Barnes from Northern Ireland in red, Furahisha from Tanzania in blue.

:50:59.:51:03.

When the draw was made, every flyweight would have wanted to avoid

:51:04.:51:08.

Hadi Barnes. Unfortunately for this Tanzania and, he has drawn the gold

:51:09.:51:13.

medal favourite. Aunt is a terrific fighter, -- Barnes is a terrific

:51:14.:51:25.

fighter. He has come through various different scoring systems with

:51:26.:51:29.

success and has always adapted to the style of his opponent. He is a

:51:30.:51:39.

class act. A lot of people thought that the old computer scoring system

:51:40.:51:42.

with the judges pressing red or blue buttons would suit the style of

:51:43.:51:47.

Paddy Barnes but here he is under the new system, no headgear, and he

:51:48.:51:53.

looks at home. He was rated as number three in the flyweight

:51:54.:51:58.

division recently because for a lot of last season including the World

:51:59.:51:59.

Championships, he did move up of last season including the World

:52:00.:52:02.

flyweight but he has boiled of last season including the World

:52:03.:52:09.

down to 49 kilograms again. Maybe a diet of ice cubes and more ice

:52:10.:52:13.

cubes! He is looking comfortable, cutting off the exit. He works very

:52:14.:52:23.

well to the body, he throws lots of combinations. He does not waste the

:52:24.:52:32.

opportunity, he works downstairs and he will switch the attack to the

:52:33.:52:34.

head. That was certainly a good shot.

:52:35.:52:51.

After four days of waiting, Paddy Barnes has more than eased himself

:52:52.:52:56.

into Commonwealth Games action for the third games in a row. He boxed

:52:57.:53:00.

in Melbourne as a light flyweight and lost very controversially to a

:53:01.:53:05.

man from Swaziland in his opening contest. But he went all the way

:53:06.:53:10.

through to victory four years ago in Delhi. Terrific work again, those

:53:11.:53:17.

combinations, when he closes the gap against the southpaw, he makes sure

:53:18.:53:22.

he scores. Furahisha is really struggling. All of the judges

:53:23.:53:28.

rightly so have gone for Paddy Barnes.

:53:29.:53:41.

The head coach John Conlon just having a word with Paddy Barnes.

:53:42.:53:53.

An impressive opening round by the man in the red vest, defending the

:53:54.:54:01.

title he won with distinction four years ago. He defeated the reigning

:54:02.:54:08.

champion in that final coup was the first Namibian to win a Commonwealth

:54:09.:54:15.

gold medal but Barnes was too good for him four years ago in Delhi. He

:54:16.:54:20.

was one of three Northern Ireland boxes to take gold, it was their

:54:21.:54:26.

best games since Victoria 1994 when they took two gold medals and two

:54:27.:54:28.

silver medals. This is the lightest division of

:54:29.:54:38.

all, light flyweight. Furahisha from Tanzania. Doing a bit more forward

:54:39.:54:47.

work than he did but Barnes can pick him off. He has probably been told

:54:48.:54:53.

to catch Barnes as he comes forward but Barnes moves quickly into range

:54:54.:54:57.

and as you are trying to land, he has got three or four already. When

:54:58.:55:03.

he gets there, he does not waste the opportunity, he just keeps punching,

:55:04.:55:07.

very fast hands and it is a nightmare for Furahisha at the

:55:08.:55:14.

moment. He can put the shots into the body or the head with either

:55:15.:55:21.

hand. A good little trick, two jabs to the body and the third one, he

:55:22.:55:28.

fainted and put the right hand over the top. Clever boxing.

:55:29.:55:44.

Look at that by Barnes! It is like a machine gun. Probably seven or eight

:55:45.:55:52.

punches that went in with no reply from his opponent.

:55:53.:55:59.

He is literally in second gear as well, Barnes. Good defence as well,

:56:00.:56:10.

nothing getting through and then he comes back himself like a little

:56:11.:56:15.

snapping turtle coming out of his shell and giving you another the

:56:16.:56:26.

nip. -- giving you a nasty nip. He is happy enough to stand and trade

:56:27.:56:32.

as well. Wonderful boxing, my word, this is terrific. Jim Watt is not

:56:33.:56:40.

too far away appreciating what this man is doing. He is just breaking

:56:41.:56:47.

his opponent down, fast hands, switching the attack. He finishes

:56:48.:56:53.

the combination on the left hook. Terrific round. He overwhelmed his

:56:54.:56:58.

man in that second round. Not breathing too heavily at all.

:56:59.:57:11.

The overhead camera shows it wonderfully. That is what brought

:57:12.:57:17.

the standing count. He adjusts his feet and works to the body and then

:57:18.:57:27.

switches to the head. Good work. I remember talking with him, he is so

:57:28.:57:33.

difficult to understand, he has got a great Belfast accent! Look at

:57:34.:57:41.

that, it was a 10-8 round on two of the scorecards. I can understand

:57:42.:57:49.

him! I kissed smile and say yes! -- I just smile. He has been forthright

:57:50.:57:58.

about the vagaries of world amateur boxing. We should say that there is

:57:59.:58:03.

no such thing as amateur boxing any more, it is Olympic boxing. Dearie

:58:04.:58:11.

me. Anyway, the man who is still a rookie

:58:12.:58:11.

me. Anyway, the man who is still a good boxer, Olympic or amateur, he

:58:12.:58:17.

is on the receiving end a little bit as the teenager from Tanzania is

:58:18.:58:27.

trying to rough him up. The crowd here in the SC -- in the SECC

:58:28.:58:33.

appreciating that. Barnes has given this fellow working over.

:58:34.:58:47.

then he just turned his man and commenced the attack. Good defensive

:58:48.:58:55.

work, turning into attack. This fella in blue, he will be pleased to

:58:56.:59:00.

get through the round, Barnes is going through the gears. Great

:59:01.:59:19.

variation by Barnes. He is soaking it all up, coming back himself.

:59:20.:59:28.

Those little arms seem to have an extension to get to his opponent.

:59:29.:59:35.

The last round, they will have told him he is well behind, he has to go

:59:36.:59:41.

for it. Unfortunately his defence is to lead key. -- his defence is way

:59:42.:59:52.

too leaky. You cannot do that against Paddy Barnes. He has stopped

:59:53.:59:59.

it, with one minutes ago in the third round. Paddy Barnes winning

:00:00.:00:10.

this one by TKO. That brings it into line with the professional game. He

:00:11.:00:18.

will have words with you about his accent, later on! I probably won't

:00:19.:00:26.

understand it! Good last round, increasing the intensity. The

:00:27.:00:30.

acceleration in his work was tremendous. A good performance all

:00:31.:00:39.

round, Jim. Good bodywork. Keeping the shots going into the body.

:00:40.:00:44.

Switches into their head. The right-hand to the body keeping it

:00:45.:00:52.

going. A whirlwind of a performance from Paddy Barnes. He must be a

:00:53.:00:57.

strong favourite to retain his title. On this form, can Paddy

:00:58.:01:19.

Barnes be beaten? One or two opponents to come may think so, that

:01:20.:01:25.

they will need to be very good. Well done to Paddy Barnes, the root

:01:26.:01:29.

of the quarterfinals of the light flyweight

:01:30.:01:30.
