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 | :09:58. | :09:58. | |
Danson that one is bouncing beyond Alex | :09:59. | :10:25. | |
shirts. Richardson-Walsh, captain, runs into trouble. Barker. Unsworth | :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. -- | :17:11. | :17:28. | |
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 | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
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 | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
over the top of the stick onto the foot. Australia leading 2-0. Nelson | :21:38. | :21:45. | |
will inject for Australia. foot. Australia leading 2-0. Nelson | :21:46. | :21:53. | |
Flannigan. Who will get the opportunity? It comes to | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
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, | :22:51. | :23:03. | |
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, | :38:31. | :38:34. | |
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. | |

theme, because there is a gold medal at the grabs at Scotstoun Sports | :40:45. | :40:49. | |
Campus, just down the River Clyde over my right shopper. England are | :40:50. | :40:55. | |
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. | :41:21. | :41:38. | |
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 | :42:18. | :42:28. | |
tone hairstyle there, Li Hu, against their opponents today, Baggaley. | :42:29. | :42:53. | |
is England cosmic most decorated player, the man high and Paul | :42:54. | :43:06. | |
Drinkhall, that is, Andrew Baggaley. Born in Northampton, resides in | :43:07. | :43:13. | |
Milton Keynes Dons. FIFA ten tall. -- | :43:14. | :43:18. | |
Milton Keynes Dons. FIFA ten tall. Milton Keynes. All the English fans | :43:19. | :43:29. | |
around here are keen to see that happen. | :43:30. | :43:51. | |
matches. Really enjoying the beat. I want people to go away from care, | :43:52. | :43:54. | |
saying we want people to go away from care, | :43:55. | :43:58. | |
tennis. We certainly have. A phenomenal atmosphere. They have | :43:59. | :44:07. | |
done table tennis proud here. So easy for anybody to play table | :44:08. | :44:08. | |
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 | :47:23. | :47:33. | |
watching the men's team event final, gold-medal match, Singapore, | :47:34. | :47:40. | |
the first seeds against England, the second seeds, at the far end. In the | :47:41. | :47:47. | |
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 | :49:15. | :49:23. | |
strategy brings them to gain points. He will be delighted, rather | :49:24. | :49:26. | |
stonefaced. arm away? Must have served on the | :49:27. | :49:56. | |
wrong side. That took us all by surprise. Whatever has happened, the | :49:57. | :50:02. | |
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 | :50:18. | :50:24. | |
is on the red button. Back to the hockey at Glasgow Green, England's | :50:25. | :50:34. | |
women 2-0 down to Australia. Let's rejoin Malcolm and Max. | :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. | :51:37. | :51:48. | |
Debris. -- Twigg. Sam Quek with a bit of space, but escapes. England | :51:49. | :52:10. | |
with numbers in the deed. -- in the D. Richardson-Walsh playing forward | :52:11. | :52:16. | |
to Twigg. Picked up by Alex Danson, | :52:17. | :52:36. | |
immediately tackled by Kenny. They are tangling again. Flannigan | :52:37. | :52:42. | |
sitting it out on the bench. 11 against ten. For a couple of | :52:43. | :52:48. | |
minutes. Australia with the possession. Into the last half hour. | :52:49. | :52:57. | |
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 | :53:32. | :53:47. | |
bench is ticking away. Sam Quek. Gilbert, nice work. Then she just | :53:48. | :53:56. | |
bench is ticking away. Sam Quek. shirts. No way through. | :53:57. | :54:23. | |
bench is ticking away. Sam Quek. Webb. Kenny turning on a sixpence, | :54:24. | :54:30. | |
finding Madonna Blyth. So is retch, no contact. Gilbert taking it for | :54:31. | :54:38. | |
England. Sophie Bray losing control. Australia taking it to the edge of | :54:39. | :54:44. | |
the D. Their wearer appeals for a penalty corner but it came off the | :54:45. | :54:50. | |
Australian foot. Ours Lee showing good speed. -- Owsley. Shipperley | :54:51. | :55:07. | |
once it's on the right. -- once it. -- wanting it on the right-hand | :55:08. | :55:11. | |
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. | :56:33. | :56:44. | |
Australia starting to build up a head of steam, once again. Gisele | :56:45. | :57:10. | |
Juarez Ansley. Gilbert taking the ball out of play. Flannigan flicking | :57:11. | :57:21. | |
that one the entire width the field. ball out of play. Flannigan flicking | :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 | :38:05. | :38:11. | |
England. And won it and got into the Guinness book of records for it. | :38:12. | :38:15. | |
England. And won it and got into the your opponents did not win another | :38:16. | :38:19. | |
point in the match. -- your opponent. That was a good match for | :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. | |
down to the wire. Welcome back to Pacific Quay. The coverage will | :13:24. | :13:30. | |

future in the Olympics. BBC learning have put on a marquee here. We have | :14:07. | :14:13. | |

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 | :10:21. | :10:23. | |

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. |
