BBC Three: Day 6: 09:00-14:00

:00:50. > :00:54.Good morning. Welcome to day six of the Commonwealth Games. It has been

:00:55. > :00:58.a little bit cold the Commonwealth Games. It has been

:00:59. > :01:04.so we have been a bit Fairweather and have come into this comfortable

:01:05. > :01:07.and cosy tonight at the games are set where Clare Balding and Mark

:01:08. > :01:11.Chapman present their show normally in the evening. It is very nice to

:01:12. > :01:14.be in here. I think we in the evening. It is very nice to

:01:15. > :01:21.this the day at the games because we have so much great sport coming up

:01:22. > :01:24.for you. 31 gold medals up for grabs. Yesterday some of the 5000

:01:25. > :01:28.athletes who have descended grabs. Yesterday some of the 5000

:01:29. > :01:43.It is all over, Scotland have won dreams.

:01:44. > :01:48.It is all over, Scotland have won the gold in the men's pairs. Our

:01:49. > :01:52.wonderful gold medal for England. the gold in the men's pairs. Our

:01:53. > :02:03.Now he has the Commonwealth gold. the gold in the men's pairs. Our

:02:04. > :02:09.from the field. Going for a personal best. Goodness me, this is a

:02:10. > :02:15.wonderful swim, Sophie Taylor wins gold for England.

:02:16. > :02:24.Let's take a look at situation in the medals table.

:02:25. > :02:29.Australia leading the way. And then come England. The men competing a

:02:30. > :02:32.clean sweep in the singles squash. Scotland has surpassed its record

:02:33. > :02:45.the Commonwealth Games gold medals after the 11 medals at one in

:02:46. > :02:50.Melbourne. Meanwhile, Jazz Carlin became the first Welsh woman to win

:02:51. > :02:57.gold in the Paul for 40 years and Northern Ireland claimed there first

:02:58. > :03:03.silver of the games. As we said, so much sport which means 31 goals of

:03:04. > :03:08.the grabs today and yesterday there were incredible scenes on the greens

:03:09. > :03:15.at the lawn bowls as medals were being one and if bowls is your thing

:03:16. > :03:20.you can see that online right now. And the shots of an entirely

:03:21. > :03:23.different nature, the 15 metre riflemen 's unification is underway,

:03:24. > :03:31.one of the many options available on the website. And over on BBC One

:03:32. > :03:35.right now we are previewing the morning 's action and that will

:03:36. > :03:43.start with England against Trinidad in the netball. So much sport but we

:03:44. > :03:46.have also got an awful lot coming up before lunch, it would be great if

:03:47. > :03:52.you would stay with us here. We have hockey first, it is a great match

:03:53. > :03:56.for you, massive match in fact for the England man, taking on New

:03:57. > :04:04.Zealand, who will be equally desperate to top the group. That is

:04:05. > :04:14.at Glasgow Green, we will be there shortly. Swimming comes to a close

:04:15. > :04:18.today, we have Chad le Clos and Jazz Carlin in action. And more cycling

:04:19. > :04:27.in the programme, the ladies mountain bike final. But first,

:04:28. > :04:32.let's head over to the National hockey centre at Glasgow Green where

:04:33. > :04:36.England's men are taking on New Zealand with both teams expected to

:04:37. > :04:40.progress, the winners are likely to avoid the favourites, Australia.

:04:41. > :04:41.progress, the winners are likely to That is an incentive if anybody

:04:42. > :04:58.needed any more. COMMENTATOR: Jackson has it, first

:04:59. > :05:03.time on his stick. Ashley Jackson, number seven for England, one of the

:05:04. > :05:11.most fluent runners of the ball. Tarrant comes through with New

:05:12. > :05:12.Zealand over halfway, Burrows onto Simon Child, the older of the

:05:13. > :05:27.brothers. The good early start from both

:05:28. > :05:32.teams, they have both been probing into the opposition 's 25. Simon

:05:33. > :05:38.Child putting pressure on the England defence early on. But very

:05:39. > :05:44.early days, both teams trying to get touches of the ball, build-up play.

:05:45. > :05:47.Keep possession. They will be really up for this game and they will be

:05:48. > :05:51.quite anxious about the results today, as you said. The winners of

:05:52. > :06:02.this group game very likely to head the

:06:03. > :06:16.Jackson hovering. Catlin strong over the ball, little scanner head.

:06:17. > :06:23.Surrounded by two Black Sticks shirts, New Zealand shirts. Lewers

:06:24. > :06:29.moving the ball across. Dixon now, shot into the circle. You can see

:06:30. > :06:34.the structure already. Moving the ball down the sides, when it is

:06:35. > :06:39.congested, moving it back out and down the other side. Dixon firing

:06:40. > :06:54.the ball in looking for Brockton. He was a bit off target on that

:06:55. > :06:59.occasion. -- Brogdon. Dixon over the top trying to find territory, superb

:07:00. > :07:03.take inside the attacking circle. Rocked on. They will get the first

:07:04. > :07:22.corner. Alastair Brogdon for England. It is a good move by

:07:23. > :07:41.England, Dixon finding Brogdon, he hit Couzins on the foot. Lewers from

:07:42. > :07:48.the baseline, Jackson is number seven, he is at the top. WHISTLE

:07:49. > :07:55.They will lose a manner, New Zealand, breaking from the baseline.

:07:56. > :08:00.-- lose a run-off. This will reduce the defensive line, just three field

:08:01. > :08:07.players and the goalkeeper. McAleese breaking off the back line.

:08:08. > :08:19.Jackson, Mantell and Catlin. Wonderful save from Manchester.

:08:20. > :08:26.Devon Manchester, Tarrant as well getting the deflection. That is a

:08:27. > :08:31.strong statement by the goalkeeper. Still in play, sustained pressure

:08:32. > :08:39.coming from England. Jackson has scored four drag flicks against

:08:40. > :08:44.Malaysia, a couple of days ago. He would have been in very confident

:08:45. > :08:47.form, that is a very good start for Devon Manchester. And the other

:08:48. > :08:52.thing is he is not the tallest goalkeeper. Six inches difference

:08:53. > :08:57.between him and Pinner, he can get down to the ground easier than

:08:58. > :09:00.Penaia. A shot on the ground is maybe not the best option against a

:09:01. > :09:10.small goalie. Small is the wrong word. Agile. Agile. Martin has it

:09:11. > :09:13.for England on the left flank, hard-working. Just cannot drag out

:09:14. > :09:22.in. Forcing pressure on New Zealand. Andy Hayward. The big red, they call

:09:23. > :09:39.him, the big man back Andy Hayward. The big red, they call

:09:40. > :09:43.driving through midfield. England putting

:09:44. > :09:46.driving through midfield. England this New Zealand defence, looking

:09:47. > :09:50.for those overheads, which takes the midfield out of the game altogether.

:09:51. > :09:55.You can press highly in midfield and all of a sudden the overhead goes

:09:56. > :09:56.behind and you can turn and run. It is another way of getting through

:09:57. > :10:08.the midfield area. Middleton. What a workhorse, Barry

:10:09. > :10:17.Middleton, so much to admire. Up and over it goes. Burrows that time

:10:18. > :10:23.deemed to be in crouching in the area where it makes it dangerous.

:10:24. > :10:25.deemed to be in crouching in the Who gets there first, that is what

:10:26. > :10:31.the umpires are looking at when the ball is dropping out of the air.

:10:32. > :10:32.the umpires are looking at when the Lunging tackles from the Kiwi

:10:33. > :10:39.defenders. England seem Lunging tackles from the Kiwi

:10:40. > :10:42.winning the early 50s flash 50 -- 50-50 balls. Asserting themselves

:10:43. > :10:48.over their opposite numbers. Winning those little battles.

:10:49. > :11:02.They have already had an opportunity at penalty corner time, doing,

:11:03. > :11:02.They have already had an opportunity strong save from the New Zealand,

:11:03. > :11:20.Manchester. Up and over, Child drags it down.

:11:21. > :11:27.This is a young man that has got a lot of skill, Simon Child. Scored a

:11:28. > :11:34.couple of crackers in recent World Cup for New Zealand, individual

:11:35. > :11:39.goals. Harry Martin doing a brilliant job for England putting

:11:40. > :11:40.pressure on the ball carrier. Simon Child is somebody England's do not

:11:41. > :11:46.want to give space Child is somebody England's do not

:11:47. > :11:52.them. Whereas New Zealand do not want to give any space to that man,

:11:53. > :11:56.Ashley Jackson. Absolutely right, a good tussle. Couzins over the Andy

:11:57. > :12:12.The early morning sun Hayward. The pressure,

:12:13. > :12:18.The early morning sun problems for the umpires.

:12:19. > :12:20.The early morning sun the players, and

:12:21. > :12:21.The early morning sun aerial ball as well, the sun

:12:22. > :12:28.drifting in aerial ball as well, the sun

:12:54. > :12:57.real chance for New Zealand. And they been adequately well.

:12:58. > :13:00.Interesting the umpire calls that back because England have the ball,

:13:01. > :13:08.their advantage. back because England have the ball,

:13:09. > :13:21.way. And again Child dispossess is in the midfield for New Zealand.

:13:22. > :13:34.Arun Panchia. 25 years of age, 140th International for him.

:13:35. > :14:09.Child bank in the midfield now, finding support through Panchia.

:14:10. > :14:10.Ball through to the other Child in the team, Marcus, younger brother of

:14:11. > :14:24.Simon. To reflect triangle between

:14:25. > :14:30.Middleton, Jackson and Martin. Making it look easy. Great for

:14:31. > :14:37.younger people having a look at the skills required at this level.

:14:38. > :15:00.Panchia has McAleese steaming ahead of him.

:15:01. > :15:10.was hovering but decided against it. First time. Phil Burrows. Clever

:15:11. > :15:13.skill, but talking to, notice the water coming off the pitch at the

:15:14. > :15:20.moment, it slows the game down quite a lot. When the ball goes across the

:15:21. > :15:26.ground it is quite slow. England in the attacking circle, and out in

:15:27. > :15:34.front and of no stick from the cross. Phil Roper, bursting down the

:15:35. > :15:39.right, gets round the back and he is looking back. Nobody at the top of

:15:40. > :15:52.the deed. Both England players in the same line, going for the

:15:53. > :15:59.goalkeeper. -- the top of the D. Couzins, the attempt was there.

:16:00. > :16:00.goalkeeper. -- the top of the D. Inglis, trying to get a touch on to

:16:01. > :16:05.his team-mate. Fast, skilful hockey. Nick Haig has

:16:06. > :16:42.it now for the Black sticks. Michael Hoare to Ollie Willars. That

:16:43. > :16:48.is not what you want to do. They have made them work for that. Strong

:16:49. > :16:52.drive, out on the right, one past, looking for entry into the circle

:16:53. > :16:58.but cannot get it because Jackson is back for England. Iain Lewers,

:16:59. > :17:03.bringing the ball forward. A good hustle back by Hugo Inglis, for New

:17:04. > :17:10.Zealand. Still working hard in the midfield.

:17:11. > :17:20.A bit of a testy exchange. Child, trying to sweep past Middleton, the

:17:21. > :17:27.kingpin of the England team have it. -- has it.

:17:28. > :17:52.That is off a New Zealand stick. Dangerous.

:17:53. > :18:01.Excellent vision, across, and again, another ball, straying across the

:18:02. > :18:04.face of the goal. Another good cross by Simon Mantell. Obviously a

:18:05. > :18:08.strategy England have looked at, to crash the ball in front of the

:18:09. > :18:13.keeper but neither of the England players dived for it. I would expect

:18:14. > :18:14.to be somebody -- there to be somebody on the reverse stick,

:18:15. > :18:33.dining for it. -- diving for it. They can certainly inject pace when

:18:34. > :18:58.it gets into the attacking third. They are certainly keeping the width

:18:59. > :19:01.but they could not quite keep it in the field of play that time. New

:19:02. > :19:08.Zealand, certainly not up in the possession stakes. You would have to

:19:09. > :19:15.go 70-30, England, the amount of time on the ball. It shows that both

:19:16. > :19:18.teams have marshalled in the middle part of the pitch. They are making

:19:19. > :19:23.each other play wide balls down the line. That is the only space

:19:24. > :19:26.available. They are trying so hard to get it right on the edge, they

:19:27. > :19:33.keep on going off the side of the pitch. England continued to deny New

:19:34. > :19:39.Zealand possession. This time, drag town, in the air. -- dragged down.

:19:40. > :19:52.Hugo Inglis, appended. -- up ended. Pressure coming on the receiver,

:19:53. > :20:14.Couzins. Simon Mantell, again, heaping

:20:15. > :20:21.pressure on the Kiwis. No, it was an excellent touch finder, right down

:20:22. > :20:26.on the line by the corner flag. New Zealand, backing off. They had the

:20:27. > :20:31.opportunity to close down but they decided to come three quarters

:20:32. > :20:37.court. They don't want England to get behind this front cord and, at

:20:38. > :20:39.all. Now, the speed of Catlin, again. He had three New Zealanders

:20:40. > :20:49.Again, the last pass is just not trying to catch up with him.

:20:50. > :20:55.Again, the last pass is just not going to stick for England at this

:20:56. > :21:05.stage. It is very tight. It is not nervy but they are very edgy. Cagey.

:21:06. > :21:09.Yes, that is a better word. It is a bit like a chess match, just playing

:21:10. > :21:16.the ball around, trying to find a weakness, probing. Edible touch

:21:17. > :21:22.forward, clever from Hilton. -- a little touch forward. Marcus Child

:21:23. > :21:31.puts it through but onto an England stick. Still has the ball. Hilton,

:21:32. > :21:35.but he runs out of room. It is difficult, there. England were

:21:36. > :21:43.presenting three defenders, and Hilton, in trying to get through,

:21:44. > :21:48.ended up going over the back line. McAleese, putting pressure on and

:21:49. > :21:52.wins the ball for New Zealand. He surges forward, and Martin is

:21:53. > :21:57.breathing down his neck. Across, and again, no one on the left flank. It

:21:58. > :22:06.comes off a New Zealand stick, so England get the free yet. -- free

:22:07. > :22:11.hit. Now New Zealand are pressing high. But look at the height and

:22:12. > :22:14.distance of that. Two bounces, and all the way down to the other end.

:22:15. > :22:19.And nearly kept in by England. all the way down to the other end.

:22:20. > :22:24.option. It is. If all the way down to the other end.

:22:25. > :22:28.hard, especially in the men's game, the strength they have got, and the

:22:29. > :22:31.skills to through the aerial shot, three quarters of the length

:22:32. > :22:32.skills to through the aerial shot, pitch. -- aerial parser. It is a

:22:33. > :22:37.skills to through the aerial shot, good way of getting through the

:22:38. > :22:43.pressing players. Yes, getting through congestion, into free space.

:22:44. > :22:49.Now, England down the left channels. Clever little jink. Henry Weir and

:22:50. > :23:09.Simon Mantell. Catlin is playing a key part in this

:23:10. > :23:13.game early on. A chance and a goal! No, what a wonderful save by

:23:14. > :23:21.McAleese, for New Zealand, stick tackle on Dixon. Great little move

:23:22. > :23:25.by England, Brogden linking up with Dixon, who had a quick snapshot, but

:23:26. > :23:32.McAleese just got his stick on it in time. Brave defending. It is 50-50

:23:33. > :23:33.as to whether you try with your stick. You don't want to make

:23:34. > :23:40.contact with the attacker's and in the old days, that would not

:23:41. > :23:43.be allowed, tackling from and in the old days, that would not

:23:44. > :23:51.side but these days, the players can do a lot more engagement, and it is

:23:52. > :23:58.much better. Innovative skill, allowing some clever work between

:23:59. > :24:05.Boroughs and Child. Child has the ball and is diving to get

:24:06. > :24:06.Boroughs and Child. Child has the the top. That is when he should slow

:24:07. > :24:10.down a bit, Simon Child, the top. That is when he should slow

:24:11. > :24:13.gets in the danger area, you can stop. If you stop with the ball, you

:24:14. > :24:30.are still in the D. Just under 15 minutes to play in the

:24:31. > :24:38.first spell. Two spells of 35 minutes in pool B action. England

:24:39. > :24:40.with a ranking of number two in the Commonwealth Games, behind

:24:41. > :24:44.Australia, and New Zealand at number three. The scoreline is indicative

:24:45. > :25:02.of the closeness as well. Inglis. A drive into there, but

:25:03. > :25:21.easily mopped up by the English defence.

:25:22. > :25:30.Two of the Mauritz parents Blacksticks players, Burrows and

:25:31. > :25:34.McAleese. -- more experienced. Still little mistakes, there, and this is

:25:35. > :25:40.a game about cutting down the little errors. It is what you spoke about

:25:41. > :25:44.before, the channels. They are being stretched out wide. That shows you

:25:45. > :25:50.how tight the game is. In 22 minutes, we have had two shots on

:25:51. > :25:52.goal. Martin down the left flank. What can he find? Only the stick of

:25:53. > :26:09.the New Zealand captain, Couzins. Jackson, looking for an entry and

:26:10. > :26:29.gets a little stick check. Jackson just glides with the ball.

:26:30. > :26:37.Efficient, England, certainly, that is a word you could use. They are

:26:38. > :26:40.efficient in the opening 23 minutes of this first match between these

:26:41. > :26:46.two teams in pool B. Again, and other searching ball, pinched. Some

:26:47. > :26:54.great work and now Jackson has the ball, searching for the goal. A shot

:26:55. > :27:01.at goal and it goes wide! David Condon. A lovely little steel by

:27:02. > :27:05.Brogden, finding Jackson, who gets David Condon running across the line

:27:06. > :27:14.and he fires back to the far corner. Not far away. Not many openings for

:27:15. > :27:16.either team. England, certainly having the better of the

:27:17. > :27:20.opportunities. They have had a penalty corner. That was saved by

:27:21. > :27:24.the New Zealand keeper. They have had a couple of other shots on goal.

:27:25. > :27:33.And George Pinner, for England remains a spectator in the goal.

:27:34. > :27:40.Although certainly, you can hear him calling. Yes, having a little

:27:41. > :27:43.chunter at the umpire because he did not agree with the decision. But he

:27:44. > :27:45.was leaning against the poster minute ago, as though he was in a

:27:46. > :27:53.bar. A strategic little chess game is

:27:54. > :27:59.being played A strategic little chess game is

:28:00. > :28:00.between the two sides. England have the better of it, in terms of

:28:01. > :28:11.possession. Jackson, looking for the little,

:28:12. > :28:24.soft hands. Looking to conjure something,

:28:25. > :28:42.Middleton and Jackson. Across to the right. And the drive

:28:43. > :28:44.into the circle, but a New Zealand stick on it, and up and over

:28:45. > :29:08.halfway, into the gap. Well picked off by Arun Panchia.

:29:09. > :29:32.Some very deft skills, Arun Panchia for New Zealand. Over halfway again.

:29:33. > :29:44.Edwards, looking to edges way towards the circle. -- edge his way.

:29:45. > :29:47.Using his leg as a body shield. Neither team taking huge risks at

:29:48. > :29:50.the moment. It comes down to looking at the next phase of the tournament.

:29:51. > :29:53.It is about winning the group because this game could be the route

:29:54. > :29:57.to the final for both of these teams, or the easier route to the

:29:58. > :30:00.final. It means avoiding Australia. That is what today is about.

:30:01. > :30:12.Absolutely. Working hard, running off the ball,

:30:13. > :30:18.running hard, both teams. There is that element, you are exactly

:30:19. > :30:26.right, of just holding a little bit back. Andy Hayward, the big man,

:30:27. > :30:30.taking the ball down the flank and driving it into the circle. Again,

:30:31. > :31:04.we have seen that from New Zealand and a couple down the other end

:31:05. > :31:11.Just grabbing the stick. He pulls so hard. That stick actually hit

:31:12. > :31:25.Jackson on the way through. It could be dangerous. The circles will be

:31:26. > :31:44.both contested. Play continues, fast pass from Middleton, he keeps the

:31:45. > :32:02.ball in. Brogdon. We have seen the intensity ramp up in the last couple

:32:03. > :32:19.of minutes Child up and over. Probably lucky to escape. That was

:32:20. > :32:42.the big whistle. Under seven minutes left, the war of attrition

:32:43. > :32:46.continues. Brogdon Catlin has been clever in the opening stages,

:32:47. > :32:55.injecting himself into the midfield, creating a couple of chances.

:32:56. > :32:59.Mopping up well, New Zealand, absorbing the pressure that

:33:00. > :33:06.Mopping up well, New Zealand, pushed on to them. Both teams

:33:07. > :33:07.Mopping up well, New Zealand, unlock their opposite defences, it

:33:26. > :33:27.and the lights take more of an unlock their opposite defences, it

:33:28. > :33:31.effect. We might be in for a dose of rain as Alex Shaw gets it back to

:33:32. > :33:51.Simon Child, soft hands. Into the circle. That man Lewers pics of the

:33:52. > :33:55.ball in deep defence. -- picks off. Pass from Roper finds Martin.

:33:56. > :34:29.Jackson. Jackson again. Little deft pass into

:34:30. > :34:36.the circle, chance for England but Manchester's left foot is sure. Weir

:34:37. > :34:42.got down the back for England and it was not a particularly good pass

:34:43. > :34:46.into the body of Manchester. Quite an easy one to deal with. I notice a

:34:47. > :34:51.lot of the fouls are happening midfield where the players,

:34:52. > :34:55.defenders, just stopping the play, giving away the foul. That is why it

:34:56. > :35:00.is closing up. giving away the foul. That is why it

:35:01. > :35:04.example. Of what Sean Kerly was giving away the foul. That is why it

:35:05. > :35:09.saying. The defences are getting back. Now another set play, which is

:35:10. > :35:13.more difficult. Teams looking to get on the breakaway. Jackson into the

:35:14. > :35:28.circle, and across the face. Into the circle and it will be a

:35:29. > :35:34.penalty corner, coming off burrows. That is a mistake, an forced error.

:35:35. > :35:38.There is what is going to cost this game. Uncharacteristic error from

:35:39. > :36:10.burrows. I was playing advantage. 40 seconds have gone for New Zealand

:36:11. > :36:13.to get ready. Jackson and the goal and did he get a touch on it? Yes,

:36:14. > :36:21.he did, Devon Manchester. Critical time of the game. Under

:36:22. > :36:37.three minutes in the first spell. That well oiled machine not working

:36:38. > :36:55.quite so well today. Great touch from Manchester, stick side.

:36:56. > :37:09.The pressure pays off for England. Turnover time. Jackson has the ball.

:37:10. > :37:13.Clever but Bradshaw comes out with it. Getting an England stick so New

:37:14. > :37:18.Zealand keep possession. it. Getting an England stick so New

:37:19. > :37:38.minutes to play in the first half. Tarrant. Burrows. Clever work. Adam

:37:39. > :37:44.Dixon, very clever defending. Bob and over. It really asks the

:37:45. > :37:51.question of the New Zealand skipper, he answers it. Jackson running, if

:37:52. > :38:01.there is a mistake. Aerial skills on show today at a brilliant and

:38:02. > :38:07.perchance? No it came off Hugo Inglis. You would be pleased with

:38:08. > :38:13.that, seeing somebody diving. It was nice to see that he was a bit early,

:38:14. > :38:20.he lay down on the ball. It is commitment. Less than a minute to

:38:21. > :38:25.play. England with the chants and New Zealand with the chance in the

:38:26. > :38:28.last three minutes. That's back in and with

:38:29. > :38:42.-- England with the chance. Martin catches the ball behind his feet.

:38:43. > :38:48.Middleton. He finds plenty of room on the right. Jackson cannot drag it

:38:49. > :38:51.in. Being well marked. A good little moved by England but an

:38:52. > :38:54.uncharacteristic error by Ashley Jackson. Not quite getting his stick

:38:55. > :39:14.on it, but nice transfer across. McAleese. HOOTER

:39:15. > :39:19.There is the hooter for half-time. It has been very interesting,

:39:20. > :39:23.absorbing. Jackson has been tidy, couple of opportunities at penalty

:39:24. > :39:33.corner time and certainly for 30 of the 35 minutes England have looked

:39:34. > :39:38.slightly better than New Zealand. Devon Manchester has been

:39:39. > :39:45.magnificent but it is all tied up in the first half.

:39:46. > :39:54.STUDIO: No goals so far but plenty more action to come and we will

:39:55. > :39:59.bring you that in the moment. I am delighted to say that Gail Emms

:40:00. > :40:03.joins us, you must have a very big medals cabinet, all of the colours

:40:04. > :40:07.from the Commonwealth Games, silver from the Olympics, world champion

:40:08. > :40:10.and here you are talking about badminton at the Common Wealth

:40:11. > :40:16.games. I love the Commonwealth Games, it was my first ever

:40:17. > :40:21.multisport event. Almost like a special place in my heart. I did not

:40:22. > :40:25.do as well as expected but I learned so much. That is why I think the

:40:26. > :40:31.games are so important for up and coming athletes. Looking around you

:40:32. > :40:35.are a bit like a rabbit in the headlights, someone famous over

:40:36. > :40:40.there, so many people. I learned so much from Manchester to take on to

:40:41. > :40:46.the Olympics. I am pleased to be here because it takes me back and I

:40:47. > :40:50.realise how old I am actually! I used to be an up-and-coming athlete.

:40:51. > :40:54.It is just a pleasure. Some fantastic entertainment as always in

:40:55. > :40:59.the badminton. It did not go England is way against Malaysia yesterday.

:41:00. > :41:04.They are the number one seeds, badminton is the national sport in

:41:05. > :41:08.Malaysia, they had a great start, Chris and Gabby Adcock in the mixed

:41:09. > :41:14.doubles played really well. They were expected to win, Gabby Adcock

:41:15. > :41:20.is, but unfortunately we lost the ladies singles men's doubles, and

:41:21. > :41:25.the men's singles, so close, it was 3-1 in the end. Malaysia were the

:41:26. > :41:31.number one seeds, they delivered. It is the national sport out there.

:41:32. > :41:35.20,000 people watching badminton regularly. For us to compete, I

:41:36. > :41:40.think they will be happy with silver. They are a young team. Of

:41:41. > :41:45.course they will be disappointed slightly, but for them it is a

:41:46. > :41:49.stepping stone. They looked really good as a team, supporting each

:41:50. > :41:53.other really well. It is interesting, that is the strange

:41:54. > :41:56.thing about the Commonwealth Games, some people see it as a lesser

:41:57. > :42:00.tournament and for example the Olympics, with the Americans and

:42:01. > :42:04.Chinese not there but in some sports it is just as competitive, that is

:42:05. > :42:09.true in badminton. All of the leading nations are there.

:42:10. > :42:14.Especially in the later stages, the team semifinals and finals have

:42:15. > :42:17.shown incredible quality. I was sitting next to some people who had

:42:18. > :42:24.not been to about badminton match and they were just, " oh my

:42:25. > :42:28.goodness, this is incredible". The physicality and speed. The shuttle

:42:29. > :42:32.flies over 200 mph, people do not appreciate that all the time. It is

:42:33. > :42:38.great chance for minority sports to say, hello, we are here. It is not

:42:39. > :42:45.about athletics. A lot of those players in the team, will not get to

:42:46. > :42:49.an Olympic Games. This is their Olympic Games. It means so much for

:42:50. > :42:55.them. I have been reading blogs about man beaten, the shuttlecock

:42:56. > :43:02.has 16 overlapping goose feathers. And they are real goose feathers.

:43:03. > :43:07.All from the left wing. I know that. We need say no more. Thank you for

:43:08. > :43:12.your company, Gail. We can move on to the mountain biking, Haddington

:43:13. > :43:19.over the Cathkin Braes. -- heading over. Jill Douglas is there, we have

:43:20. > :43:30.had some incremental weather, would visit like their question mark --

:43:31. > :43:41.inclement. It is blowing a bit of a hoolie, dizzy bows popping up

:43:42. > :43:44.everywhere. -- gazebos. Mountain biking is massive in Scotland, these

:43:45. > :43:48.trails built especially for the Commonwealth Games. Some beautiful

:43:49. > :43:54.scenery, really showing off this part of the world. Couple of big

:43:55. > :44:01.features to look out for on this circuit, 5.5 km, the men go around

:44:02. > :44:05.seven times, the win in six times. Look out for double Dare, the steep

:44:06. > :44:18.descent into Castlemilk. Two options, very steep descent, the

:44:19. > :44:24.other one is Braveheart. A lot of teams think that will be decided on

:44:25. > :44:28.the steep climb of Braveheart. Some of the names on the course were

:44:29. > :44:36.named by local primary school children, who should we be looking

:44:37. > :44:40.out for this morning? If we look at the home nations, Liam Killeen won

:44:41. > :44:44.the gold medal in Melbourne, there was no mountain biking in Delhi but

:44:45. > :44:48.back in Melbourne, Liam Killeen of England won that race. He has been a

:44:49. > :44:53.late call-up to this England team but apparently is in great form. One

:44:54. > :44:57.thing that stood out in Melbourne were the kangaroos, they might been

:44:58. > :45:01.wallabies, in all honesty, crossing the course. Not sure what the

:45:02. > :45:07.wildlife here at Cathkin Braes will be. Who knows? Liam Killeen back in

:45:08. > :45:09.the team. From the Scottish perspective, the frog, Craig

:45:10. > :45:19.Ferguson, the reigning British champion. He has won on this course

:45:20. > :45:23.before. They are powerhouses are the Canadians and New Zealanders as

:45:24. > :45:29.well. In the women's race, Annie Last broker ankle in the livings,

:45:30. > :45:32.has only raced once this year but I'm told she has great legs and is

:45:33. > :45:38.looking good and Lee Craigie of Scotland, won the British nationals

:45:39. > :45:45.here, last year. In other words look out for her, she will get a great

:45:46. > :45:50.response from the 10,000 people on the hillsides. We look forward to

:45:51. > :45:55.joining you later, Jill, now we can head to Tollcross, the last day of

:45:56. > :45:58.swimming. We have been enjoying the swimming almost as much as the

:45:59. > :46:02.conversation at the side of the summing poll, we can join Helen

:46:03. > :46:10.Skelton and her band of prestigious and glamorous guests, Mark Foster

:46:11. > :46:15.and Becky Adlington. You're too kind, we have added to the team as

:46:16. > :46:19.well, Clyde is here as well, the end of swimming, we feel like it is the

:46:20. > :46:30.end term, Sharon has contributed to the picnic table. -- Sharron. One of

:46:31. > :46:36.our cameraman's wife, not one of his wives, one cameraman with one wife,

:46:37. > :46:40.just to clarify. Jazz Carlin did well as that, can she do the

:46:41. > :46:43.Adlington? I don't see why not, breaks when not, breaks when last

:46:44. > :46:54.night, little bit slower than expected. Lauren Boyle who got the

:46:55. > :46:57.silver medal last night at the beach Jazz Carlin over the 200 metres.

:46:58. > :47:04.That shows she has a bit more speed, in the sprint. This is last night.

:47:05. > :47:08.Jazz Carlin came back so strong. You would think that over 400 metres,

:47:09. > :47:15.she can take Lauren on the back 50. But Lauren has got a bit of speed, a

:47:16. > :47:21.bit in the tank. It will probably be a closer race. Hannah Miley is going

:47:22. > :47:24.for her seventh event of the accommodation, and Aimee Willmott

:47:25. > :47:27.and lots of other big names. That was a phenomenal race in terms of

:47:28. > :47:31.the way she pulled away from Lauren Boyle in the last 50 metres and took

:47:32. > :47:34.two seconds off her. It shows she was holding a reefing back. Jazz

:47:35. > :47:39.Carlin has started swimming the 800 freestyle, like the number one in

:47:40. > :47:43.the world and the world record holder so she has a lot more to

:47:44. > :47:48.come. Last night was about winning the race. She can go a lot lower.

:47:49. > :47:52.Today could shape up to be a great day for Wales. Daniel Wallace, you

:47:53. > :47:58.grabbed a word with him by the side of the pool, how is he feeling? I

:47:59. > :48:01.had a Twitter conversation with him a couple of months ago when he did

:48:02. > :48:06.well in America. He has been training in the same setup as Ryan

:48:07. > :48:11.Lochte. It has brought dividends. He was looking forward to it. I said to

:48:12. > :48:17.him that you do these competitions, it is one of those things as an

:48:18. > :48:22.athlete, and you appreciate it as the -- and you don't. I said he had

:48:23. > :48:25.to pinch himself when he came at it, because afterwards, you wish you

:48:26. > :48:30.could go back and do it again. You probably don't but I do. I did one

:48:31. > :48:33.length and you did 16. Enjoy the moments, the home crowd, the buzz is

:48:34. > :48:39.amazing. This won't happen again in his lifetime. Is that why Hannah

:48:40. > :48:44.Miley is doing some events? She's not going to do them at the World

:48:45. > :48:47.Championships and the Olympics. She likes to raise. It is her tradition.

:48:48. > :48:54.We have seen her do it quite a lot. -- she likes to race. She might have

:48:55. > :48:57.pulled out of events if it was not going to plan but she is swimming so

:48:58. > :49:02.well. Last night, she did a personal best by five seconds. The swimming

:49:03. > :49:04.is to come shortly but let's go back to the hockey, New Zealand against

:49:05. > :49:23.England. It is the second half. COMMENTATOR: The signal from the

:49:24. > :49:31.technical bench, and they are off and up and over from McAleese.

:49:32. > :49:41.Child, entering the danger area for the receiver. Dixon, and again, the

:49:42. > :49:44.overhead being employed once again. And being consistent. I think he

:49:45. > :49:54.made a mistake, though. He got there first. David Condon, that is.

:49:55. > :50:03.And he is not afraid to admit it, either, which is great. Yes, it is a

:50:04. > :50:16.difficult rule for all of us. A good pass from Jackson into the circle.

:50:17. > :50:25.They are just debating the airball, in the air. When there are two guys

:50:26. > :50:28.underneath it, and it looked like it two guys, it is the side that puts

:50:29. > :50:33.the ball in the air that gets penalised. Let's say you throw an

:50:34. > :50:36.aerial up and you're forward is obviously in space but get closed

:50:37. > :50:52.down by a defender, it goes to the side who got there first.

:50:53. > :51:01.England, out on the right defensive flank. What can they set up now with

:51:02. > :51:07.Dixon? He is dispossessed by Burrows and he has Child with him. Can he

:51:08. > :51:11.get the shot away, Phil Burrows? A clever flick and a shot at golfer

:51:12. > :51:17.New Zealand, surely? George Penna does well in the goal. Strongly

:51:18. > :51:21.coming through onto the ball. Great bit of skill. But the best bid for

:51:22. > :51:26.me was when Phil Burrows stole the ball in midfield. -- best bit. That

:51:27. > :51:29.is the kind of mistake he will be looking to generate, the kind of

:51:30. > :51:32.pressure they will be putting on each other. Child could not get

:51:33. > :51:38.enough space to get the shot away. Exactly, this is Arun Panchia.

:51:39. > :51:44.Again, just watched over the backline by the deep England

:51:45. > :51:50.defenders. Yes, having a look at that, Phil Burrows takes people from

:51:51. > :51:54.Dixon and then it is two against two. Lovely skill by Child, but the

:51:55. > :51:59.image defenders were not giving him enough space to get the shot away

:52:00. > :52:04.and eventually George Pinner clears. Jackson nearly finding Catlin this

:52:05. > :52:07.time. They are using the overhead more than the traditional hit along

:52:08. > :52:11.the pitch so far in the opening stages of the second half. That is

:52:12. > :52:14.an indication they are finding it hard to get the ball through on the

:52:15. > :52:22.ground because the space is so tight. There is more room behind.

:52:23. > :52:25.Keeping out of the dangerous, defensive third, and opting, if they

:52:26. > :52:28.are going to make a mistake on attack, they want to be in the

:52:29. > :52:35.attacking third. Fox off-loading. Nip and tuck in this game

:52:36. > :53:06.continuing. Fox driving into the circle, hoping

:53:07. > :53:16.for a little nip onto Roper's stick but he does not get it. That is just

:53:17. > :53:18.a clearance to relieve pressure. But there are little individual duels

:53:19. > :53:23.going on all over the pitch. It seems that both teams get the ball

:53:24. > :53:27.in high and then they have a one-on-one with the defender, they

:53:28. > :53:30.get beaten, it goes down the other end and then New Zealand have a

:53:31. > :53:35.one-on-one with being dished events. It is so tight at the moment. Both

:53:36. > :53:39.sides cancelling each other out. Promising drive down the left flank,

:53:40. > :54:00.for England. Blackshirt surrounding the ball. -- black shirts.

:54:01. > :54:08.Child beats the first player and off-loads a shot, speculated from

:54:09. > :54:13.Arun Panchia. -- speculative. They are finding space, and Child is

:54:14. > :54:18.doing some great work at the moment. But it is difficult to hit the ball

:54:19. > :54:25.back across your body like that. Fox expertly bringing the ball down. And

:54:26. > :54:30.equally well read by Bradley Shaw. It is such a gift to be able to

:54:31. > :54:38.distribute the ball with the right speed and accuracy, pace. Oh,

:54:39. > :54:46.penalty corner for New Zealand, their first of the match. We have

:54:47. > :54:50.not had too many forays down there. It looks like Hilton gets down the

:54:51. > :54:58.back. This is a rare error by Michael Hall. And then Iain Lewers

:54:59. > :55:02.gets it on his foot. Great work by Hilton, driving at two England

:55:03. > :55:05.defenders. He gets it on to Iain Lewers' foot. This could be the

:55:06. > :55:11.chance New Zealand have been waiting for, their first penalty corner.

:55:12. > :55:22.Marcus Child will for, their first penalty corner.

:55:23. > :55:24.ready. Andy Hayward and Nick Haig. Oh, wonderful save!

:55:25. > :55:34.ready. Andy Hayward and Nick Haig. from the skipper. Well, that is Dan

:55:35. > :55:37.Fox, coming out down the line, running out for England, on the

:55:38. > :55:41.ground still but Andy Hayward gets a good strike in. Barry Middleton

:55:42. > :55:45.watching. What a save. That was moving. He stood up and watched it

:55:46. > :55:45.all the way on the ground still but Andy Hayward gets

:55:46. > :55:49.all the way on the ground still but Barry Middleton watching. What a

:55:50. > :55:51.save. That was moving. He stood up and watched it all the way onto his

:55:52. > :55:54.stick, never took is I'll the ball. That is putting yourself on the

:55:55. > :56:18.line, the England captain. -- never took his eyes off the ball.

:56:19. > :56:30.I don't think the players quite knew who it was going to go to.

:56:31. > :56:43.It demands such a keen eye, quick reflexes and reactions.

:56:44. > :56:47.That is a bit of a waste. I think that when you try to do the back and

:56:48. > :56:50.shot from the left-hand that when you try to do the back and

:56:51. > :56:57.that, you have two deliver it that when you try to do the back and

:56:58. > :57:16.off the Duke. -- off the hook. So, royalty have arrived again,

:57:17. > :57:21.Prince Edward, there, with Lady Louise, who loves her

:57:22. > :57:25.apparently. She was keen to come back. She has been here for a couple

:57:26. > :57:29.of other days as well. It is back. She has been here for a couple

:57:30. > :57:35.terrific to see the Royals out back. She has been here for a couple

:57:36. > :57:39.them, enjoying the sport yesterday, the Duke and Duchess of the Prince

:57:40. > :57:42.Harry, laughing and joking in the stands. It was really good to see.

:57:43. > :57:47.Harry, laughing and joking in the -- the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

:57:48. > :57:51.and Prince Harry. They are the friendly games out of the arena but

:57:52. > :57:54.it is very intense on the pitch in this pool match between England and

:57:55. > :58:00.New Zealand. England feel they were robbed. Iain Lewers, really, is

:58:01. > :58:05.looking for a robbed. Iain Lewers, really, is

:58:06. > :58:08.should have had one in robbed. Iain Lewers, really, is

:58:09. > :58:12.is a dangerous game, to be looking at the umpires, but a good tackle,

:58:13. > :58:12.is a dangerous game, to be looking eventually forcing the free hit, and

:58:13. > :58:29.relieving pressure. The expert one-two passing,

:58:30. > :58:38.accurate, keeping possession for England. Middleton, finding Martin.

:58:39. > :58:46.Just moving the ball around, keeping the players moving. A tangle of

:58:47. > :59:05.players, that is how close it is. Catlin delivers off. Catching a New

:59:06. > :59:11.Zealand foot. Trying to inject some are meant into the game. Yes, it is

:59:12. > :59:15.about tempo now, attacking at pace, before the opportunity closes down.

:59:16. > :59:17.But once you go back like this, you have two set again and it is much

:59:18. > :59:21.more difficult to get the ball through. -- have to set. Edwards

:59:22. > :59:26.coming through with a great intercept. Still has the ball, into

:59:27. > :59:31.the attacking third for New Zealand and a great tackle for the captain,

:59:32. > :59:36.and still, across the park on it goes. Can Marcus Child keep the ball

:59:37. > :59:44.in? He does. He tries to jig it through but will not be successful.

:59:45. > :59:48.The free hit is a ready taken by England. The crowd are urging on the

:59:49. > :59:54.team in white and red. -- already taken. And again, McAleese is back

:59:55. > :00:01.for New Zealand, to mop up. This time, the big man, Alex Shaw, out on

:00:02. > :00:08.the left flank. He can only see white shirts ahead of him.

:00:09. > :00:12.Burrows used to be a striker but now in the midfield and can still finish

:00:13. > :00:24.and go through. Edwards does well to keep

:00:25. > :00:48.possession. He has got two England defenders around him.

:00:49. > :00:54.in the second half will stop Jackson trying to weave his magic. The tempo

:00:55. > :00:56.has just gone up a notch. Beginning to start to attack a little bit

:00:57. > :01:36.more. On the break out. Great ball through. Good movement at

:01:37. > :01:47.the moment by New Zealand, rotating round out the back. Space is being

:01:48. > :01:54.made and then when it is filled and they move across. Great ball into

:01:55. > :02:08.the New Zealand's defence, still alive in the circle for them.

:02:09. > :02:28.Roper. Martin. Snapshot into the circle. Out by Burroughs onto Marcus

:02:29. > :02:45.Child. -- Phil Burrows. Good strong ball and expertly brought down by

:02:46. > :02:47.the younger brother, Marcus. Phil Burrows, just on the line it is,

:02:48. > :03:12.straight in. Long corner. Couzins, urgency from the team

:03:13. > :03:16.wearing black. That will be dangerous. Interesting looking at

:03:17. > :03:29.the amount of rotation the teams utilise, after a couple of days, by

:03:30. > :03:37.comparison Canada 229 rotations, almost twice as many. I guess

:03:38. > :03:44.conditions and once again New Zealand. 60 to 70 is pretty normal,

:03:45. > :03:47.depends on the temperature. But these guys today are working so hard

:03:48. > :03:54.they are using the rotations regularly. New Zealand expending a

:03:55. > :03:59.lot of energy. Putting England under pressure, they have kept them pretty

:04:00. > :04:10.quiet in the last ten minutes or so. 21 minutes left in the match.

:04:11. > :04:18.Jackson keen just to make a bit of territorial advantage.

:04:19. > :04:34.Roper again. New Zealand now have got to macro shots in the second

:04:35. > :04:39.half? That does not tell the story. They have made quite a lot of

:04:40. > :04:52.incursions in each other's 25 that does not get recorded on those

:04:53. > :05:05.stats. They have been so patient. England. Michael Hoare. The crowd

:05:06. > :05:13.getting behind their team, Gleghorn fires it across. It was not on

:05:14. > :05:18.target. Quite a nice little move. Rob a blue would have been better to

:05:19. > :05:26.play that across the face of goal. Brogdon waiting for the cross. Not

:05:27. > :05:36.always the best option. You cannot blame them for wanting to do

:05:37. > :05:49.something different. The good teams are the team that get something when

:05:50. > :05:57.they need to. Panchia into the circle and referral time. New

:05:58. > :06:07.Zealand claiming England foot? They are claiming a push.

:06:08. > :06:18.New Zealand asking for a stroke, that the player has been pushed.

:06:19. > :06:26.This is a big decision. Was he pushed? There looked like an arm in

:06:27. > :06:35.the back. You cannot see it there particularly.

:06:36. > :06:44.Sean Kerly, you were saying? Did I say it was a push? Hard to say, the

:06:45. > :06:48.forward was already say it was a push? Hard to say, the

:06:49. > :06:53.momentum already. We do not have to make the decision, thankfully. The

:06:54. > :07:00.video referral. It looks pretty like a push their, but are you confident

:07:01. > :07:07.enough as an umpire watching this to say, penalty stroke? It is a big

:07:08. > :07:12.call in the context of the match. Are you prepared to take that risk

:07:13. > :07:22.upstairs? The New Zealanders firmly believe it. The umpires taking a

:07:23. > :07:26.long look at this. Not sure. But you have to get it right. The average

:07:27. > :07:31.time in the men's game from when they refer to getting the decision

:07:32. > :07:35.coming back is 90 seconds. A little longer in the women's. Barry

:07:36. > :07:47.Middleton already giving his version. They are watching it on the

:07:48. > :07:58.screen as well. Peter, I have the decision. There is a push, by the

:07:59. > :08:03.defender. Therefore, penalty stroke. Just confirming that, there is a

:08:04. > :08:12.push by the defender? Yes. Penalty stroke. That is a big shout. Very

:08:13. > :08:15.big call. Fantastic stroke. That is a big shout. Very

:08:16. > :08:19.New Zealand. Phil Burrows stroke. That is a big shout. Very

:08:20. > :08:24.sure when he went to the umpire, Peter Wright. They will have their

:08:25. > :08:30.own referral, England. The decision has been made upstairs. Nothing you

:08:31. > :08:31.can do about it now. I do not think you can refer a referral. This is

:08:32. > :08:38.the decision that has been made from you can refer a referral. This is

:08:39. > :08:43.up high. Phil Burrows has had so much experience for New Zealand.

:08:44. > :08:44.up high. Phil Burrows has had so has been around the block. He has

:08:45. > :08:54.hardly had to do anything for England, and now he has too try to

:08:55. > :08:59.keep Andy Hayward, almost impossible to

:09:00. > :09:02.keep Andy Hayward, almost impossible left. Hayward makes

:09:03. > :09:08.keep Andy Hayward, almost impossible take the lead over England. Lots of

:09:09. > :09:13.talk and the conclusion of the game over this but what will the reply

:09:14. > :09:16.they? There has been nothing to separate the sides.

:09:17. > :09:22.they? There has been nothing to meant to be an error that did it.

:09:23. > :09:34.Perfect stroke, Hayward taking no risks, making it safe. Brogdon. Very

:09:35. > :09:52.careful, up and over again. We have seen that aerial ball so much in

:09:53. > :10:09.this match. Good reflexes. The goal-scorer having a rest. Very

:10:10. > :10:14.coolly done. This should make it interesting, it means that England

:10:15. > :10:29.have two come out and really play hard. Bradshaw. 17 minutes left in

:10:30. > :10:34.the half, it has taken a video referral to separate the teams.

:10:35. > :11:00.Stroke from New Zealand's Andy Hayward. Free hit to the defence.

:11:01. > :11:05.New Zealand act knowledge that and turn over a couple of times each

:11:06. > :11:12.team now. Through Brogdon on to the left flank. That is the little

:11:13. > :11:20.tackle, get your feet in the way, breaking play down. Both sides

:11:21. > :11:24.arguing that at the moment. The ball was just off the ground, hard to

:11:25. > :11:45.pick up sometimes but McAleese finds Shay Neal on the right flank.

:11:46. > :12:00.Couzins. The walled house, triangles, call them what you will,

:12:01. > :12:06.stolen by McAleese. -- the wall pass. Keeping it out of the danger

:12:07. > :12:10.midfield, they know there are world class in displays in their lurking.

:12:11. > :12:16.Straight ball through to Shay Neal. Strapping on his shoulder.

:12:17. > :12:38.And now the captain. Brogdon. The English bench calling for them to

:12:39. > :12:43.push up. What of torque. The ball finding the New Zealand sticks more

:12:44. > :12:49.regularly. New Zealand stepped up a little bit, they are looking much

:12:50. > :12:54.more confident now. The shape of the team, stopping England getting the

:12:55. > :12:59.ball out of defence is in, slowing play down whenever England get up

:13:00. > :13:05.into the 25. They are looking sharp and businesslike. He has stolen the

:13:06. > :13:11.ball. Gleghorne has one-on-one with the goalkeeper. And up and over it

:13:12. > :13:15.goes. Manchester again, as he did in the first-half, makes an absolutely

:13:16. > :13:17.superb save, opportunity for England is the first half, makes an

:13:18. > :13:23.absolutely superb save, opportunity for England's to tie it up.

:13:24. > :13:30.Gleghorne comes in. He goes wide, tries to log the goalkeeper but

:13:31. > :13:40.Manchester, he was equal to it. -- lob. Heat of the moment. Decisions.

:13:41. > :13:47.England into the attacking third. McAleese gets the free hit. The calm

:13:48. > :13:53.and collected Shea McAleese. Has been very composed.

:13:54. > :14:07.Clever, Panchia. Looking for the little clip. Manchester saving New

:14:08. > :14:12.Zealand. There you go, one out of three for New Zealand, New Zealand

:14:13. > :14:24.getting a better return in that danger area. Lewers. Jackson. Has

:14:25. > :14:27.not had much room, or many opportunities today, such has been

:14:28. > :14:33.the tightness of this fixture. And not put too a point on it, this

:14:34. > :14:39.could decide whether you get an easy or difficult semifinal, easier

:14:40. > :14:43.semifinal. He's ill and would take on the second placed team, Australia

:14:44. > :14:50.would take on the second place in this group, probably the loser of

:14:51. > :14:56.this game. They are stretching wide, as they did in the first half,

:14:57. > :15:16.England. Exiting that ball right down. Right on the corner. Halfway

:15:17. > :15:21.now. 13 minutes left in the match, New Zealand with a penalty stroke by

:15:22. > :15:24.Andy Hayward to take the lead. England's Tempo does not look very

:15:25. > :15:28.high. They need to inject some pace into the pitch, free hits, get

:15:29. > :15:32.double moving forward. New Zealand are just trying to slow it down as

:15:33. > :15:41.much as they can. -- get the ball moving forward. Shay Neal for New

:15:42. > :15:43.Zealand. The backpass to Edwards does not match up. The crowd sense

:15:44. > :16:07.and England opportunity. Ollie Willars with a clever little

:16:08. > :16:22.pass up to Dixon. Roper, doing well and a shot at goal

:16:23. > :16:29.and it is in! It is all tied up! What a movement! That is a fabulous

:16:30. > :16:37.run, from Dixon, and Roper gets it in. And the crowd is roaring at the

:16:38. > :16:41.National hockey Centre, delighted. Great by Phil Roper, nothing to work

:16:42. > :16:45.with, a little bit of skill, taking a couple of swipes and Dixon really

:16:46. > :16:52.watched the ball. It looks like a forehand smash in tennis. But great

:16:53. > :17:02.skill. It was like a side, wasn't it? --

:17:03. > :17:13.Adam Dixon, putting smiles by conning the shoelaces. Now Jackson.

:17:14. > :17:18.-- back on English bases. He has the Blacksticks backpedalling. What a

:17:19. > :17:27.change this game has taken. A goal apiece. The ball is put out

:17:28. > :17:31.change this game has taken. A goal Tarrant. That has live and England.

:17:32. > :17:35.The goal-scorer, Dixon, has got to be pleased with that. It was a

:17:36. > :17:41.lethal finish, exactly what it had to be. Absolutely. So,

:17:42. > :17:45.lethal finish, exactly what it had square one! LAUGHTER

:17:46. > :17:52.Ten and a half minutes left in the match. Lovely skill down the back by

:17:53. > :17:56.Roper. Dixon pummelling it into the roof of the net. He really got hold

:17:57. > :18:27.of it and then some. When you look at these

:18:28. > :18:35.who are fighting it out for the top position in pool B, at the 2014

:18:36. > :18:41.Glasgow games, New Zealand still have to play Malaysia, the bogey

:18:42. > :18:48.side for them. They got beaten earlier this year by them. And

:18:49. > :18:52.England are yet to meet Canada. So, it is a very close pool and it will

:18:53. > :19:04.come down to the last matches if it is tied up. Alex Shaw gets the ball.

:19:05. > :19:09.It comes off an English stick. Back to the table, a draw in this match

:19:10. > :19:09.would leave England leading the group

:19:10. > :19:15.would leave England leading the difference. It then comes down to

:19:16. > :19:21.goals scored, winning the last game. It probably favours England

:19:22. > :19:27.slightly. Indeed it does and a big collision between Andy Hayward... He

:19:28. > :19:34.might get a card. Yes, a card for Andy Hayward. He will get two

:19:35. > :19:39.minutes on the chair. I think he is lucky to get a green and not a

:19:40. > :19:41.yellow. That was a big takeout. There was no way his man was getting

:19:42. > :19:43.past him. Can England There was no way his man was getting

:19:44. > :19:49.while New Zealand are down to There was no way his man was getting

:19:50. > :19:56.men? Hilton up the sideline to safety. But more importantly, a bit

:19:57. > :20:03.of territory. Views during a rethink, scoring goals,

:20:04. > :20:04.of territory. Views during a That is a huge takeout. There

:20:05. > :20:13.way Roper was getting past. You could say that was what they call in

:20:14. > :20:19.football a professional foul. Jackson finding the frontrunning

:20:20. > :20:23.Roper again. He is having a to rivet match, the young man, just brought

:20:24. > :20:29.into the English squad. -- Prisic match. -- terrific match. English

:20:30. > :20:34.coach liked what he saw and brought him in for the four nations. Just 22

:20:35. > :20:36.years old and playing in his 28th match, and he set up the goal for

:20:37. > :20:52.England. Martin, this time, and Shaw had to

:20:53. > :20:58.get past three of them. And England on the surge again! Manchester makes

:20:59. > :21:06.another save but England still have the ball. The crowd, urging them

:21:07. > :21:11.on. Dixon, the magic man. As the sun bursts through and shines out onto

:21:12. > :21:17.the pitch. England are making all the attacking play right now. New

:21:18. > :21:23.Zealand get a chance. Great pressure all round by England but the New

:21:24. > :21:27.Zealand defence stood up to it well. He runs by Martin, get behind it in

:21:28. > :21:33.a dangerous area, and looking for the dive. But Simon Mantell could

:21:34. > :21:40.not get on it and then more pressure by the England forwards. Again, a

:21:41. > :21:46.lovely little trick, and it just goes across the face. Manchester cut

:21:47. > :21:50.down the angle. And we need a time-out because somebody is down

:21:51. > :21:55.for New Zealand. A lot of work going in, tired legs all round but what a

:21:56. > :22:00.dive, great effort by Phil Roper. He is into everything at the moment for

:22:01. > :22:08.England, everything that is good. Brad Shaw. Here's tired. He has

:22:09. > :22:16.worked so hard at the back. Both sets of fullbacks have. He might

:22:17. > :22:27.have just caught one around the neck, Brad Shaw. It took him a bit

:22:28. > :22:30.of time. Now up on the right flank. It has not been down into the

:22:31. > :22:37.defensive area for England for 12 minutes. Child. He loses the ball

:22:38. > :22:50.and again, England get And again, the young man does so

:22:51. > :22:53.well for England. Phil Roper. He is developing well, isn't he? He is

:22:54. > :23:02.coming on and dominating his position in this game. Now,

:23:03. > :23:05.Middleton, finding a wonderful gap and Manchester at. . Gosh,

:23:06. > :23:10.Middleton's vision. -- full stretch. And guess who had the

:23:11. > :23:38.full stretch. And guess who had the Jackson off-loads. Giving it to the

:23:39. > :23:45.young player, and they have got a free shot at goal. Can he turn

:23:46. > :23:52.around? But again, Manchester makes sure the ball does not bounce back

:23:53. > :24:02.into the player. A wave of English attack.

:24:03. > :24:09.They're rather not many times in the geographical area of Scotland that

:24:10. > :24:14.you will find a crowd cheering for the other home country. -- there are

:24:15. > :24:18.not many times. But the cheer is going up for England from the 5000

:24:19. > :24:24.strong spectators who have filled the seats at the Glasgow National

:24:25. > :24:26.Hockey Centre. A huge number of players waiting to be rotated into

:24:27. > :24:41.the game on the halfway line. And a free hit, New Zealand. Four

:24:42. > :24:45.minutes to play. Yes, the final phase of this game. Neither side

:24:46. > :24:50.wants to give anything away but they would both love to get a goal,

:24:51. > :24:52.especially New Zealand, I think. It suits England slightly better

:24:53. > :24:58.because they have a slightly better goal difference by New Zealand. A

:24:59. > :25:02.draw would suit this England side. McAleese. And the English captain,

:25:03. > :25:09.Middleton, up and over it goes to Arun Panchia. First time, into

:25:10. > :25:17.George Pinner, in goal. I have been impressed with Arun Panchia, for New

:25:18. > :25:20.Zealand. A star quality about this man. And he does it again, puts

:25:21. > :25:27.people onto the foot of the English defender. -- puts the ball. Simon

:25:28. > :25:32.Mantell, receiving the ball on the foot but a lovely bit of skill by

:25:33. > :25:35.Arun Panchia. He was not doing anything else other than trying to

:25:36. > :25:52.find the foot of the English midfielder. Look at that, easy

:25:53. > :25:55.breezy. -- easy peasy. Already seeing some brave defending from

:25:56. > :25:58.England. Barry Middleton has made a terrific save on the post, but he

:25:59. > :26:07.saw it all the way from the penalty corner. Burroughs, to inject. Andy

:26:08. > :26:14.Hayward, and a cracking shot, and the second golfer New Zealand! --

:26:15. > :26:20.second goal, for New Zealand! Second phase, and Simon Child has got a

:26:21. > :26:29.very important goal. No referral, that is a great goal. Timeout call.

:26:30. > :26:34.England are taking their goalkeeper. Which is what they have to do if

:26:35. > :26:39.they want to push up and get a goal. Great stroke and a good save but

:26:40. > :26:43.watch this reaction from Simon Child, absolutely fantastic, took a

:26:44. > :26:49.full swing at the Bull, of the Astro and into the roof of the net. All

:26:50. > :26:59.you'd finish. -- at the ball. What can England do. George Pinner has

:27:00. > :27:08.come off. So an extra player and Dan Fox will be pushing up. At. Inks,

:27:09. > :27:13.two minutes left in the match, New Zealand two - one England. 11th

:27:14. > :27:25.field players on for England. -- 2-1.

:27:26. > :27:33.So the first part of the job done. Territory gained by New Zealand.

:27:34. > :27:35.Simon Child, the goal-scorer, and Arun Panchia, who set it up by

:27:36. > :27:47.getting the penalty corner. Middleton, dispossessed by

:27:48. > :27:52.Burroughs. These two have played so much against each other. Free hit to

:27:53. > :27:54.New Zealand on the right-hand side. Just jogging towards the ball now,

:27:55. > :28:09.Phil Burrows. Burroughs is waiting for Jackson to

:28:10. > :28:13.retreat to the five metre exclusion zone. -- Phil Burrows. This time, it

:28:14. > :28:20.is taken off them for wasting time, New Zealand. England rushed through

:28:21. > :28:27.down to the halfway line. Jackson cannot drag it in. England trying

:28:28. > :28:29.everything but New Zealand holding fast, packing the midfield and not

:28:30. > :28:36.letting England get up into the penalty area. Inglis. 30 seconds,

:28:37. > :28:57.just over, left on the clock. Colin is going crazy on the side,

:28:58. > :29:07.trying to get the ball down the other end of the pitch.

:29:08. > :29:11.trying to get the ball down the Read -- doing his not. Can England

:29:12. > :29:17.have a last opportunity at goal? It is outside. That is the hooter and a

:29:18. > :29:19.vital win for the New Zealand men's hockey team. They have beaten

:29:20. > :29:31.England. It was cat and mouse. hockey team. They have beaten

:29:32. > :29:35.Territorial aerials, we will remember it for that. But it has

:29:36. > :29:39.been a game of attrition between these two sides. Simon Child, in the

:29:40. > :29:43.end, the difference on the scoresheet. And there it is, New

:29:44. > :30:13.Zealand taking out this important pool B match over England, 2-1.

:30:14. > :30:20.How is it going? I am fine. Fabulous to see you. The last time we spoke

:30:21. > :30:22.was in to see you. The last time we spoke

:30:23. > :30:27.here. What has it been like, you to see you. The last time we spoke

:30:28. > :30:31.live in Glasgow now, we have seen you on the BBC jumping all around on

:31:22. > :31:28.Braes. I have not been yet but today the mountain bikes at Cathkin

:31:29. > :31:35.this week. In terms of mountain biking, is that something which

:31:36. > :31:44.interests you? Are there any parallels between what you do? I

:31:45. > :31:47.suppose there is, would both have breaks and Wales and things and I

:31:54. > :31:59.unbelievable. -- wheels. But they are quite different, I am trick

:32:00. > :32:04.based and they are in jobs, but good luck to them all. The Finnieston

:32:05. > :32:10.Crane looked like a scary moment, what was it like? It was not that

:32:11. > :32:14.scary for me, just an amazing time, something I have looked at

:32:15. > :32:19.everyday. I have wanted to make a swing off it, but actually getting

:32:20. > :32:25.to ride my bike on top was pretty unreal. Basically when you go around

:32:26. > :32:31.a city I you just looking at the buildings thinking, I wonder if I

:32:32. > :32:38.can jump off bad? That is all I do, my brain is always working away,

:32:39. > :32:42.looking at railings, walls. Thank you for having the time to speak to

:32:43. > :32:51.us, Danny, go and do your stuff and I will definitely get out of the

:32:52. > :32:54.way. In the meantime, various the final day at Tollcross, eight medals

:32:55. > :33:00.up for grabs, we can go back to Helen Skelton.

:33:01. > :33:08.I am so impressed, I love Danny, anybody who has been on one of those

:33:09. > :33:13.bikes has a serious mindedness, they do not have brakes, suspension,

:33:14. > :33:19.incredible stuff. I have done a bit of sprinting, I don't like to

:33:20. > :33:24.mention it, I did everything once in my former life. You did a lot of

:33:25. > :33:26.stuff in your former life. Women's 400 meter freestyle first, Jazz

:33:27. > :33:32.Carlin going in this one. Great night for her last night, she will

:33:33. > :33:37.be buzzing. She will be tired, bless her. We have seen a lot this week of

:33:38. > :33:46.the athletes think they are not getting to bed until 2am, then a

:33:47. > :33:54.quick turnaround. How did you know I sprint? I did not. These sprinters

:33:55. > :33:58.build up the lactic acid. With the distance events their muscles will

:33:59. > :34:07.be hurting. They will be making, but hopefully jazz will be buzzing. This

:34:08. > :34:12.is Hannah Miley's seventh event, Aimee Willmott is back there after

:34:13. > :34:17.the 200 fly last night when she got a medal. I think a lot of girls,

:34:18. > :34:27.everybody semi ball this morning, they swam loads this week. Swimming

:34:28. > :34:39.do distance swimmers have muscles? I want to see Jazz Carlin do a Becky

:34:40. > :34:46.and do the double. We have footage of you doing the double. Is it in

:34:47. > :34:53.black and white? I am in black and white. Glasshouses. I think he wants

:34:54. > :34:59.to be careful. Some of the punches you are knocking out. Does it seem

:35:00. > :35:03.like a long time ago? It does. It is credit to Scotland, it is absolutely

:35:04. > :35:12.incredible, this whole games. That's does look old. If you look at the

:35:13. > :35:17.stands, a lot emptier, the atmosphere was not the same. We all

:35:18. > :35:24.had Delhi belly, it is safe to say Scotland are winning hands down. I

:35:25. > :35:30.never get this feeling, 50 metres, get to the other end. You have no

:35:31. > :35:36.time to think. But what are you thinking though, are you cruising?

:35:37. > :35:43.Is it easier? I definitely was not there, we all had a case of Delhi

:35:44. > :35:47.belly and we were dead, no energy. I was just glad to put my hand on the

:35:48. > :35:52.wall and finish. It was not a great time for me. Two years earlier than

:35:53. > :36:00.that I broke the world record, I was going ten seconds slower in Delhi.

:36:01. > :36:05.Who would be great if you are so far ahead you could do the Usain Bolt.

:36:06. > :36:08.If anybody would show about I suspect it would be you, here I am a

:36:09. > :36:13.skirmish and Mark talked to me about Aimee Willmott, she swam

:36:14. > :36:21.phenomenally well last night, what will she take from these games? She

:36:22. > :36:25.will take a lot from these games. It gives them an opportunity to stand

:36:26. > :36:30.up against world-class opposition, to win medals. Those medals go home

:36:31. > :36:36.with you, it gives you a huge amount of confidence. A huge amount of

:36:37. > :36:40.confidence. This. The depth of the field is far stronger. At the

:36:41. > :36:44.impetus hopefully, talking about the Olympics in two years time, they

:36:45. > :36:50.need that hunger and drive. Hopefully coming here the medals

:36:51. > :36:55.will give them that. She has saw the middle so far in the medley and

:36:56. > :37:03.butterfly, I think she has improved so much over the past few years. She

:37:04. > :37:06.is staying with the same coach but they now train in London at the

:37:07. > :37:12.aquatic centre. Going into the Olympic Park every single day for

:37:13. > :37:16.your training, so inspiring. She has already improved so much. I am sure

:37:17. > :37:24.she has another big jump to improve on. Jazz Carlin changed coaches, was

:37:25. > :37:28.she going back and forth from Australia? It is strange because the

:37:29. > :37:32.Swansea performance centre where they were training got closed down.

:37:33. > :37:37.So her coach move to Australia. She has spent half of her time in

:37:38. > :37:46.Australia and half her time back here, splitting her time. Though

:37:47. > :37:53.that might seem strange, but will still beginning, giving her

:37:54. > :37:56.consistency. It is also a good thing, different people work in

:37:57. > :38:02.different ways but having the change of scenery, change of setup. When

:38:03. > :38:04.you are in your home pool day in, day out, it is nice to have a bit of

:38:05. > :38:23.a change. Plenty of home nations interest

:38:24. > :38:28.here. McMahon, she has won it! We were so busy talking about that,

:38:29. > :38:32.this is the first heat. Of the women's 400 meter freestyle, great

:38:33. > :38:39.swim for the girl from the Isle of Man. Northern Ireland. Northern

:38:40. > :38:48.Ireland. I am looking at the wrong shade. It is the last day, I am

:38:49. > :38:54.don't worry. She looks tired. She does look tired but a good swim from

:38:55. > :38:57.her. -- looking at the wrong sheet. We will join this one properly now

:38:58. > :39:05.with heat number two, loads of interest, English, Welsh, Scottish.

:39:06. > :39:08.Plenty of excitement, so let's go over to Andrew and Adrian to take

:39:09. > :39:10.you through this one properly. That is why they do this bed.

:39:11. > :39:24.COMMENTATOR: -- this bit. The first of the seeded heaps.

:39:25. > :39:34.McMahon of Northern Ireland winning that heat. She is in the relay for

:39:35. > :39:42.Northern Ireland. But now we get into the fastest 16 of the

:39:43. > :39:51.Commonwealth. Now we have the fastest 16, and Jazz Carlin is going

:39:52. > :39:57.in the centre, the fastest seed. Hannah Miley there as well. Aimee

:39:58. > :40:03.Willmott as well. But Jazz Carlin, goodness me, wonderful 800 free last

:40:04. > :40:05.night. Absolutely, they have been talking about how she has recovered

:40:06. > :40:17.this morning. Interesting to see, but I think she

:40:18. > :40:28.will be OK. 400 metres freestyle, first of the seeded heaps, only two

:40:29. > :40:30.seeded heats here. Jazz Carlin has one clear job this one,

:40:31. > :40:36.seeded heats here. Jazz Carlin has Make sure she gets through to

:40:37. > :40:39.seeded heats here. Jazz Carlin has final this evening. -- wagering. A

:40:40. > :40:45.decent position, Hannah Miley two from the left in the white cap doing

:40:46. > :40:54.another fun event. She does this for fun, apparently! Quite a few events.

:40:55. > :41:00.Britney Maclean had a really good bronze medal in the 800 freestyle.

:41:01. > :41:04.She will be challenging this evening for medals. Jazz Carlin doing enough

:41:05. > :41:07.but as you say I think the confidence from last night will

:41:08. > :41:10.overcome any particular lethargy she has got this morning. Through the

:41:11. > :41:17.first hundred very well. has got this morning. Through the

:41:18. > :41:22.Miley started this 400 like she started the 800 last night, went out

:41:23. > :41:29.very fast indeed. She paid a little bit in the second half. Hannah Miley

:41:30. > :41:31.there in the group of leaders, it would be great to see her make the

:41:32. > :41:38.final. The weight of the nation would be great to see her make the

:41:39. > :41:39.the first race, what a way to Scotland to start the Commonwealth

:41:40. > :41:44.Games in that medley, gold Scotland to start the Commonwealth

:41:45. > :41:49.the first race in the pool, Hannah Miley taking it. Jazz Carlin looking

:41:50. > :41:54.good but only three lengths down, five still to go. Just out of shot

:41:55. > :42:00.on the bottom is Aimee Willmott, silver medallist

:42:01. > :42:02.on the bottom is Aimee Willmott, she is not with the leading group on

:42:03. > :42:10.the right, but you can see her looking over their, it is Hannah

:42:11. > :42:14.Miley setting the pace. This is helpful for Jazz, halfway mark, if

:42:15. > :42:27.she helpful for Jazz, halfway mark, if

:42:28. > :42:29.of the race. At the halfway point it is Hannah Miley

:42:30. > :42:33.of the race. At the halfway point it medallist from the 400 medley, in

:42:34. > :42:39.second, Britney Maclean of Canada. And Jazz Carlin of Wales in second.

:42:40. > :42:46.I would like to see her make sure she can pick it

:42:47. > :42:47.very early here. She has done a really good swim,

:42:48. > :42:57.front crawl, she has worked hard on it.

:42:58. > :43:01.front crawl, she has worked hard on looked better than for a number of

:43:02. > :43:05.front crawl, she has worked hard on years. Really long, rangy. The right

:43:06. > :43:11.on going well, it was a little bit sloppy before. She is looking the

:43:12. > :43:20.right way, 100 metres left, still in contention. As you said the job,

:43:21. > :43:31.these three should qualify. Last 100 metres of this, first of the seeded

:43:32. > :43:35.heats. The first three here should make it through. Jazz Carlin looking

:43:36. > :43:40.a little bit uncomfortable closer to us, winner of the 800 metres

:43:41. > :43:46.freestyle. Maybe a little bit after the Lord Mayor 's show, it was

:43:47. > :43:50.enormously emotional last night. If she gets top three she will be fine.

:43:51. > :43:57.Hannah Miley making the move to try to upstage Maclean. She wants to win

:43:58. > :44:01.this one. Aimee Willmott is not insured, battling fourth and fifth.

:44:02. > :44:07.I think she might be losing that battle. This is Maclean, Miley, the

:44:08. > :44:14.crowd trying to lift Hannah Miley to win this heat. Miley hanging on in

:44:15. > :44:21.there, so is Jazz Carlin, weeks back those three to make it through. If

:44:22. > :44:22.the last heat goes extraordinarily fast the theory cannot make it, it

:44:23. > :44:43.is all on time. She looked a little bit tired. She

:44:44. > :44:51.has done the job. I think some rest now, emotional as you say, tiring,

:44:52. > :44:55.maybe late to bed, cannot sleep after a gold-medal. A lot of things

:44:56. > :44:59.well have contributed, but frankly she has done the job she came to do.

:45:00. > :45:04.But she has to improve on that to get the gold-medal. Maclean is

:45:05. > :45:10.trying to make up for the fact she only got the bronze. Fifth in the

:45:11. > :45:16.200 meter freestyle. Maybe hopeful this is the one she can get the

:45:17. > :45:25.gold. She looks strong, was able to react. Jazz Carlin sticking with the

:45:26. > :45:33.group. She knew she had to dig in this morning. Well, Brittany

:45:34. > :45:36.MacLean, bronze in the freestyle last night and did not have the

:45:37. > :45:41.emotion of the gold. Seventh at the Olympics. And now she will be in one

:45:42. > :45:46.of the centre lanes in the final. Hannah Miley swam very well to get

:45:47. > :45:52.second. Jazz Carlin looked a bit tired at the end. But she can go and

:45:53. > :45:57.swim it off now and have a good rest for the final. This is the final

:45:58. > :46:00.heat of the women's 400 metres freestyle. Lauren Boyle of New

:46:01. > :46:15.Zealand in Lane 4. So, she goes in Lane 4, and Faulkner

:46:16. > :46:18.of England is in Lane 2. It is fascinating in five and six, Bronte

:46:19. > :46:23.Barratt of Australia, eight years ago in Melbourne, got a bronze in

:46:24. > :46:28.the 400 metres free, and Caitlin McClatchey won gold medals in the

:46:29. > :46:33.200 and the 400. It is great to see them still here. Bronte Barratt got

:46:34. > :46:36.the bronze in the 200 freestyle. When you are talking about speed

:46:37. > :46:40.indicators and where they might be sitting, Bronte Barratt, with her

:46:41. > :46:44.bronze in the 203, will be a threat and has gone out quickly in the

:46:45. > :46:48.yellow cap. This is not a sluggish morning swim. The two Australians,

:46:49. > :46:54.Remy Fairweather, the 17-year-old, going with her. Another name of

:46:55. > :47:02.note, second from the left, Tabitha Baumann, just in shot. Alex

:47:03. > :47:09.Bowman's daughter, the double gold medallist in 2004. Brilliant first

:47:10. > :47:17.100 from Bronte Barratt. She is really pushing, quite surprising.

:47:18. > :47:20.She did not swim the 400. That was a bit surprising. But eight years

:47:21. > :47:22.after she got a bronze in the Commonwealth Games, she still looks

:47:23. > :47:29.very long and strong and really good. The world junior champion in

:47:30. > :47:33.Lane 3, Remy Fairweather. The two Australians are very good. Again,

:47:34. > :47:37.I'm a bit surprised that Lauren Boyle between them is not a bit

:47:38. > :47:50.further up. She has got very good terms, mind you. -- turns. As you

:47:51. > :47:53.mentioned, she did not deviate hundred last night, Bronte Barratt

:47:54. > :47:57.may be a bit fresher and Lauren Boyle is a bit sluggish. It is not

:47:58. > :48:01.easy to get up. Becky talked about it in the studio. But she is hanging

:48:02. > :48:04.in there, in the same kind of situation as Jazz Carlin. She has

:48:05. > :48:08.two stick with the first group, get amongst it, get in the top three and

:48:09. > :48:14.she should be OK. But this is hard for her. At the halfway turn, they

:48:15. > :48:21.are pretty quick. No wonder Lauren Boyle has not gone with them. Bronte

:48:22. > :48:24.Barratt was the first over, of Australia, and the second, Remy

:48:25. > :48:28.Fairweather of Australia and now Lauren Boyle starting to make the

:48:29. > :48:31.move in the black hat in the centre. The big threat for the gold medal

:48:32. > :48:40.this evening, for me, Lauren of New Zealand. -- Lauren Boyle. It is a

:48:41. > :48:42.big threat but good for hair, a threat to Jazz Carlin, but if you

:48:43. > :48:47.are Lauren Boyle, quite exciting because she wants a gold medal. She

:48:48. > :48:51.was fast paced to 100, Bronte Barratt and Lauren Boyle has stepped

:48:52. > :48:54.up, quite impressive that she can do that and it makes it quite

:48:55. > :48:58.threatening for the Wales and home country fans. These three swimmers

:48:59. > :49:04.are having a ding-dong battle. Lauren Boyle in the middle, now. It

:49:05. > :49:15.is an Anzac battle, here. Look at the top. Really good swimming from

:49:16. > :49:19.Samantha Cheverton of Canada. Lauren Boyle has taken the lead. She has

:49:20. > :49:23.been very cagey down the first 150 metres but has picked it up and

:49:24. > :49:27.started moving through. She has moved really well. She did not try

:49:28. > :49:36.to catch up in 50 metres. She took her time about it. That's a lesson

:49:37. > :49:38.for all of the age group is out there, don't make a move on 150, and

:49:39. > :49:50.tire yourself out. Samantha Cheverton is still going

:49:51. > :49:53.well at the top. This is an impressive spin from Lauren Boyle,

:49:54. > :49:57.and the way she has pasted, used Bronte Barratt's speed and come

:49:58. > :50:01.through, what a great swim. I think Lauren Boyle wanted to reverse what

:50:02. > :50:06.happened last night. Jazz Carlin needs a big sleep and to reset

:50:07. > :50:10.herself during the break between sessions. Lauren Boyle is strong and

:50:11. > :50:16.Remy Fairweather is staying with her. It looks as though it will be

:50:17. > :50:22.Lauren Boyle. She wins the heat, the second of the fastest seeded. She

:50:23. > :50:28.will go into the final fastest, and second fastest will be Remy

:50:29. > :50:32.Fairweather of Australia. And the top three, there, she is breathing

:50:33. > :50:38.very hard but I'm not surprised because she came back three hard in

:50:39. > :50:41.the second half. Yes, very close to doing that, Lauren Boyle, a very

:50:42. > :50:46.impressive swim. Maybe she wanted to do that to get everything moving in

:50:47. > :50:53.her body, to set herself a fast time. It will be tough to night.

:50:54. > :51:02.her body, to set herself a fast Jazz Carlin's best time is 4:04.

:51:03. > :51:06.Jazz Carlin, rested, should be capable of a gold medal but a good

:51:07. > :51:12.swim from these three. They are going

:51:13. > :51:17.second-seeded heat. Lauren Boyle winning it.

:51:18. > :51:18.second-seeded heat. Lauren Boyle bronze medallist on the 1500, the

:51:19. > :51:42.800 and this, the 400. Samantha

:51:43. > :51:48.which will be in trusting. She needs to pop out and go and have a nice,

:51:49. > :51:54.easy one down, probably a long one, maybe 1000 metres, to swim down.

:51:55. > :51:58.Then we will have the final this evening. Straight into the

:51:59. > :52:03.Paralympic events. Marc Woods is joining me. 200 medley.

:52:04. > :52:10.The SM ten category, swimming, medley, and ten is the athletes with

:52:11. > :52:15.the most minimal visibility. You can see the things that might be

:52:16. > :52:21.affected in this race. We might see a below the knee amputee, like

:52:22. > :52:25.myself. But equally, we might see someone with very modest cerebral

:52:26. > :52:30.palsy. They have the same functions in the water.

:52:31. > :52:37.Quite a few people have called in to say it is not really fair that some

:52:38. > :52:42.people, double amputees, or maybe one, swimming against someone with

:52:43. > :52:46.both their legs. It does not look on the surface like it is particularly

:52:47. > :52:50.fair but a lot of side goes into it. That's right, sometimes it does

:52:51. > :52:55.not look fair but you have to accept there are people with better

:52:56. > :53:01.knowledge than you and me, even. The people who classify the athletes

:53:02. > :53:03.have a huge physiological understanding and understanding of

:53:04. > :53:10.disability and soaring. They make sure it's fair, in the same way that

:53:11. > :53:13.if you have a weigh-in for a boxing match, it is done fairly. Sophie

:53:14. > :53:21.Pascoe is the world record holder, and she is in Lane 4.

:53:22. > :53:28.Katherine Downie. Sophie Pascoe, the six time Paralympic gold medallist.

:53:29. > :53:39.Three of them in Beijing and three of them in London 2012.

:53:40. > :53:44.We have got the fastest two in the world in this SM ten, 200 metres

:53:45. > :53:50.medley. A bit like the world in this SM ten, 200 metres

:53:51. > :53:56.races, the fastest are absolutely awesome and after that, it tails off

:53:57. > :54:03.quite quickly. One heat of the Paralympic event. The SM 10. They

:54:04. > :54:06.are just swimming for a Lane assignment for the final. Slightly

:54:07. > :54:10.disappointing that there are no home nation entries in this race. We are

:54:11. > :54:14.particularly weak in this category. If you know anyone who swims at your

:54:15. > :54:17.club who has a minimal amputation, or mild cerebral palsy, please get

:54:18. > :54:23.in touch with British swimming because we need more people in this

:54:24. > :54:28.category. Sarah Bailey, now Sarah Storey, obviously one this category

:54:29. > :54:34.before she went to cycling. We have not had anybody filling her shoes. A

:54:35. > :54:38.very strong semester or the strokes and she will be tough to beat,

:54:39. > :54:41.Sophie Pascoe but we talked about the disability early on and the

:54:42. > :54:45.medley is a good way of trying to understand how it varies. Someone

:54:46. > :54:50.who is a leg amputee will be a lot weaker on the breast stroke than

:54:51. > :54:55.someone who has a hand amputation. But it can switch around for a

:54:56. > :54:58.different stroke. And Sophie Pascoe's disability? She had an

:54:59. > :55:03.awful accident when she was a little, she was run over by a sit on

:55:04. > :55:08.more mower, by a family member and lost her leg below the knee, and her

:55:09. > :55:12.other leg was badly scarred. We might well get an overhead shot of

:55:13. > :55:17.her swing breast wrote in a second and you will be able to see the way

:55:18. > :55:21.she had to balance it out. If you have an amputation below the knee on

:55:22. > :55:27.one leg, how do you stay so to symmetrical on the breast stroke?

:55:28. > :55:32.You can see what she is doing, the side where she is missing her foot,

:55:33. > :55:36.she is pulling her legs far wider, to try to counteract the work her

:55:37. > :55:41.right leg is doing. Like in Aust Main, able-bodied or Paralympic, it

:55:42. > :55:45.is about balance and counterbalance, trying to get as much forward

:55:46. > :55:51.momentum in the stroke. It is just amazing. Pushing off, beautifully

:55:52. > :55:55.streamlined. Look at where she is. All you club swimmers at home, and

:55:56. > :55:58.even national swimmers, she went under the backstroke flags,

:55:59. > :56:03.surfacing about a metre and a half past them. That is pushing off with

:56:04. > :56:06.one leg. You have got to expect to go beyond the flags whenever you

:56:07. > :56:13.turn, any swimmer should be twined to do that. -- trying to do that.

:56:14. > :56:19.Even Jessica Long, the doubly amputee, can do that. -- double

:56:20. > :56:24.amputee. Sophie Pascoe will come first in the heat. It is making sure

:56:25. > :56:28.you get a decent Lane for the final. And the world record holder, well

:56:29. > :56:45.the world record is hers, at 2:20 5.06. -- 2:25 .6.

:56:46. > :56:53.Katherine Downie, we expect her to go a bit faster in the final this

:56:54. > :57:02.evening. So, the world number one and two go in the final, first and

:57:03. > :57:06.third. Various Sophie Pascoe. -- there is Sophie Pascoe. Very

:57:07. > :57:12.oppressive. She has got great race skills. -- very impressive. You

:57:13. > :57:18.might expect she would be lopsided, kicking off, but she is even.

:57:19. > :57:22.Quickly spinning round as she turns. Good, streamlined, hand over hand,

:57:23. > :57:26.kicking to get underneath the flags, drifting into the finish but it is

:57:27. > :57:28.only the heats. She has lots of time. She was very emotional when

:57:29. > :57:32.she won the 100 metres time. She was very emotional when

:57:33. > :57:37.earlier in the week. It means a lot for these athletes to be at the

:57:38. > :57:41.Commonwealth Games. And also, team New Zealand have been away from home

:57:42. > :58:01.for over seven weeks. I think it is quite a big experience for them.

:58:02. > :58:06.Sophie Pascoe, an amazing athlete and an amazing story. There will be

:58:07. > :58:12.more swimming coming up but now it is time to hand back.

:58:13. > :58:15.We've got factory boys and butchers' apprentices and office clerks

:58:16. > :58:20.Don't stop moving! If you go back you'll die!

:58:21. > :58:39.Hi. Back to Glasgow after a quick update on Three.

:58:40. > :58:41.Clarify the laws on so-called revenge porn.

:58:42. > :58:45.The plea to prosecutors from politicians.

:58:46. > :58:48.Peers say we should know when it's a crime to post explicit

:58:49. > :58:53.Two million 20 to 34 year olds with a job still live at home.

:58:54. > :58:54.That's according to housing charity Shelter.

:58:55. > :58:57.It reckons in half those cases they can't afford to move out.

:58:58. > :59:00.That's what ex-members of Lostprophets say they felt

:59:01. > :59:03.at finding out bandmate Ian Watkins was a paedophile.

:59:04. > :59:05.They want to move forward with new group No Devotion.

:59:06. > :59:08.The new Manchester United manager won't rush to make signings.

:59:09. > :59:10.Louis van Gaal says he doesn't buy players for buying players.

:59:11. > :59:13.He admits the current squad is not balanced.

:59:14. > :59:16.NASA's Mars rover has broken the record for extra-terrestrial travel.

:59:17. > :59:19.Opportunity has now clocked up 25 miles on the the Red Planet.

:59:20. > :59:21.It was never meant to drive more than half a mile.

:59:22. > :59:53.More later, right now back to Helen and more live swimming from Glasgow.

:59:54. > :59:58.Yeah, I am looking for a Prince Charming.

:59:59. > :00:02.I don't think I'm ugly, but I don't think I'm, like, really pretty.

:00:03. > :00:07.I say, "You've got something on your bum." "Really?" And I say,

:00:08. > :01:03.the heats of the men's 200-metre individual medley. We are getting

:01:04. > :01:07.ready for Dan Wallace, there will be a big cheer for those guys, but

:01:08. > :01:09.there are three gold-medallists, Thomas Fraser homes in it as well.

:01:10. > :01:14.there are three gold-medallists, Thomas Fraser homes Four is the

:01:15. > :01:23.which way is this one going to go? I think this one is tough. Mitch

:01:24. > :01:26.Larkin already has three medals, Dan Wallace has got to meddle so far.

:01:27. > :01:33.Thomas Fraser homes three medals so far. So these guys, it is probably

:01:34. > :01:37.who has recovered best. They are all bringing something different. They

:01:38. > :01:42.all have their strongest rope. That is the thing about the medley. It is

:01:43. > :01:49.the one who is the master, the jack of all of them, rather than the

:01:50. > :01:55.master of one of them. Chad is one of the global stars of swimming. But

:01:56. > :02:05.on butterfly I have not seen him do a 200-metre medley. Blue at pro on

:02:06. > :02:15.paper, Thomas Fraser homes is the fastest. But Chad is looking great.

:02:16. > :02:21.Two guys who don't mind what you call them as long as you had to them

:02:22. > :02:28.in time. Andrew and Fraser, over to you.

:02:29. > :02:40.COMMENTATOR: There is the winner of the 400 metre medley, what a

:02:41. > :02:46.wonderful swim it was. Can Wallace, the Scottish record-holder, in Lane

:02:47. > :02:49.5 in this, the first heat of the men's 200 metres individual medley.

:02:50. > :03:00.The first of the seeded heats, excuse me. Very interestingly, the

:03:01. > :03:05.gold-medallist on the backstroke, Mitch Larkin, has actually

:03:06. > :03:11.withdrawn, and I wonder why, slightly looking knowingly! Yes! The

:03:12. > :03:17.gold, two silvers in the backstroke, the men's relay later on, and the

:03:18. > :03:23.Aussies feeling under threat, so they are resting Larkin obviously.

:03:24. > :03:32.De Clos and Dan Wallace head-to-head. Mohammed at the top of

:03:33. > :03:50.your picture with the white cap swum well yesterday.

:03:51. > :04:00.A big shout out to the Gibraltarians. There is a bar in

:04:01. > :04:02.Wembley that my uncle used to run where they will be watching. This is

:04:03. > :04:10.where Dan Wallace came where they will be watching. This is

:04:11. > :04:14.the 400-metre medley. Normally Chad Le Clos does enough to make it

:04:15. > :04:18.through, but I am not sure he was ready for Dan Wallace's brushstroke.

:04:19. > :04:27.through, but I am not sure he was overtake him for

:04:28. > :04:29.through, but I am not sure he was Mohammed. That guy looked like he

:04:30. > :04:34.had energy. He did this in Mohammed. That guy looked like he

:04:35. > :04:35.really nailed the best road and took the field down. Le Clos does not

:04:36. > :04:41.have to do anything here. the field down. Le Clos does not

:04:42. > :04:42.Mohammed, what a fantastic couple of days he is having,

:04:43. > :04:45.Mohammed, what a fantastic couple of see him potentially make the finals.

:04:46. > :04:53.They see him potentially make the finals.

:04:54. > :05:00.go all the way to the wall. Le Clos in second. So Wallace wins it and

:05:01. > :05:05.looks very smooth indeed. Chad Le Clos should make it through

:05:06. > :05:08.looks very smooth indeed. Chad Le final. He said, looking at Adrian

:05:09. > :05:13.slightly sideways. That is fascinating. Should be OK.

:05:14. > :05:14.slightly sideways. That is should, let's keep an eye on it.

:05:15. > :05:24.Wallace looks great, he is close to should, let's keep an eye on it.

:05:25. > :05:28.This is the brushstroke you can tell he is working hard, that is the

:05:29. > :05:33.25-metre mark. Coming into the turn, he has taken a full body length, may

:05:34. > :05:37.be two because it was behind on the back. That was a nice turn, the

:05:38. > :05:39.be two because it was behind on the of somebody who has got some energy

:05:40. > :05:44.back, and look at Mohammed at the top of your picture, I really hope

:05:45. > :05:50.he makes it through. We are going to have to watch that. We will watch

:05:51. > :05:57.that very closely indeed. Dan Wallace wins it. He looked very good

:05:58. > :05:58.indeed. Very cool, calm and collected, he knows exactly what he

:05:59. > :06:33.is doing. Thomas Fraser-Holmes goes in Lane 4.

:06:34. > :06:45.That is Bosch. The University of Michigan and had to on it.

:06:46. > :06:53.Fraser-Holmes, the fastest seed in this Heat 3 of the men's 200-metre

:06:54. > :07:00.medley. Thomas Fraser-Holmes already won gold in the men's four X

:07:01. > :07:07.200-metre relay. What a race that was. Silver in the 400-metre

:07:08. > :07:16.medley. This will be a fascinating final. To the right of the yellow

:07:17. > :07:20.lanes, you have Lloyd of Wales. The second Welshman doing very well,

:07:21. > :07:25.turning in second place behind White. This is Lloyd, you said he is

:07:26. > :07:35.focused on the 200 medley more than anything to be this close to

:07:36. > :07:41.Fraser-Holmes, he is strong. Lane 3, though, Bosch. I am surprised he is

:07:42. > :07:46.not there with the green cap. Down nearest to us, Evan White of Canada,

:07:47. > :07:50.the 18-year-old, strong flies swimmer. I think Bosch might come

:07:51. > :07:57.through on the brushstroke little bit more, though. Donaldson up in

:07:58. > :08:02.two, that is a little bit of a surprise. A New Zealander training

:08:03. > :08:06.in Sydney. He's getting overtaken now, the big boys in the centre

:08:07. > :08:11.starting to come through. Thomas Fraser-Holmes, he is in the class of

:08:12. > :08:15.the freestyle, if they turn together on the breast rope, he will

:08:16. > :08:19.certainly get going. Still going well, Donaldson. Four swimmers going

:08:20. > :08:24.so well here could be dangerous for the early heat swimmers. Let's have

:08:25. > :08:30.a look at the times. All of them in a row, White, Donaldson, all of

:08:31. > :08:34.them, and Fraser-Holmes will come through strongly. He needs to move,

:08:35. > :08:38.if he is fourth in the yellow cap, that is a really dangerous position

:08:39. > :08:42.to be in. Fraser-Holmes I think needs to get his act together a

:08:43. > :08:46.little bit. If he is fourth, he will not make it through, he is still

:08:47. > :08:49.forth, he is coming through now in the yellow hat but he has got to get

:08:50. > :08:56.a touch here, he really needs to be second if he can. Stuck his head

:08:57. > :09:06.down inside the last five. Lloyd, a very good swim for him.

:09:07. > :09:10.Fraser-Holmes got the touch for second. I have got to tell you, some

:09:11. > :09:16.good guys will miss out here. The first heat was slow, that was

:09:17. > :09:22.relatively slow. Goodness me. Fraser-Holmes did a slightly scary

:09:23. > :09:27.-professional job. He was hanging around right until the last five

:09:28. > :09:31.metres, and we are on the edge of our seats here, because really this

:09:32. > :09:36.could be a very interesting qualification. Keep an eye out for

:09:37. > :09:48.this last heat. Good to see two Welshman in strong positions. Lloyd

:09:49. > :09:59.will certainly make the last round. The second seeded, the final heat.

:10:00. > :10:19.If that is the case, Fraser-Holmes could be out. There are a lot of

:10:20. > :10:30.quick guys here. Pavoni The second fastest seed. Fourth in the 400

:10:31. > :10:49.medley. If I was Fraser Holmes right now I would be a bit squeaky.

:10:50. > :10:55.The final heat of the men's 200 metres individual medley. It will be

:10:56. > :11:02.very, very tight indeed to make the final. It really is. Sub 2.01 and

:11:03. > :11:07.they should make it in, but there is a .7 eight, is really tight and five

:11:08. > :11:17.of these guys can do it. Tight but not fast. Lane 3, Joe Roebuck using

:11:18. > :11:24.his fly. Training down in Bath now, the Rotherham boy. Rousseau, also

:11:25. > :11:30.Tranter. Tranter's hero interestingly is Mike Tyson. An

:11:31. > :11:35.aggressive way to start training. Roebuck, nice flyback. Roebuck

:11:36. > :11:41.leading with the black cap bowled England. Silver-medallist in Delhi

:11:42. > :11:53.in the 200-metre and a 400. He needs to work this fly back. A very fast

:11:54. > :12:00.first hundred. There are four guys in it at the moment, and I wonder if

:12:01. > :12:05.it is going to be those four through with the fastest four from the first

:12:06. > :12:09.two heats? It will be interesting, again, you don't want to be fourth

:12:10. > :12:13.place in this race. All of them synchronised brushstroke, beautiful.

:12:14. > :12:19.Roebuck tailing off on the brushstroke, not his strongest row,

:12:20. > :12:26.and he will trouble. Rousseau holding it. Tranter coming through

:12:27. > :12:36.on the freestyle. Roebuck, a good turn. The two Englishman batting

:12:37. > :12:39.possibly for a place. -- battling possibly. We thought these guys

:12:40. > :12:43.would go for it thinking they could make the final. It is unusual to

:12:44. > :12:47.have four guys out of one heat to make the final and I think it will

:12:48. > :12:52.happen here. The Australian, Tranter, swam a good heat. It will

:12:53. > :12:55.be fairly comfortable sub two minutes. The first three do that,

:12:56. > :13:03.Roebuck in the final as well. My goodness me. He came fourth in that

:13:04. > :13:08.heat and he will make the final. So, really very interesting indeed,

:13:09. > :13:18.and I think Thomas Fraser-Holmes will come in

:13:19. > :13:22.and I think Thomas Fraser-Holmes you have four men really realising

:13:23. > :13:26.there is a lot at stake. Breaststroke, all strong, all in a

:13:27. > :13:31.line, and then a really good turn by Tranter, a professional job, coming

:13:32. > :13:36.through in the last 25 metres to get a comfortable touch. Roebuck just

:13:37. > :13:53.All four of the top for their will hard, fourth in this heat.

:13:54. > :14:02.All four of the top for their will make the final. -- the top four.

:14:03. > :14:10.There are no semifinals here. There are at the worlds and the Olympics.

:14:11. > :14:18.This is the confirmation of the finalists:

:14:19. > :14:22.Look at the seventh and the eighth, the medals could come from the two

:14:23. > :14:37.outside lanes. The heats have bucked the trend, the

:14:38. > :14:41.final could buck the trend. Le Clos, it was interesting to see his

:14:42. > :14:45.race against Wallace, I said something about being a jack of all

:14:46. > :14:49.trades, he is not a jack of any trade on the breast rope, because

:14:50. > :14:55.Wallace just completely destroyed him on the breast rope! Let's here

:14:56. > :15:02.from Dan Wallace. -- the breast stroke.

:15:03. > :15:09.You looked really controlled, it must give you a lot of confidence?

:15:10. > :15:12.My confidence is pretty high. A lot higher, it was a very controlled

:15:13. > :15:17.race and I am looking forward to tonight. Do you think the big man

:15:18. > :15:21.walking past as was playing a bit with that? I think we all were a

:15:22. > :15:23.little bit. We were just making sure we get there in the final and

:15:24. > :15:27.little bit. We were just making sure will be a great race tonight. It

:15:28. > :15:32.will be another roof raised for you this evening, good luck.

:15:33. > :15:41.will be another roof raised for you breaststroke came out.

:15:42. > :15:42.will be another roof raised for you Tranter came past. What is he doing

:15:43. > :15:48.wrong, technique? wrong, technique? He cannot swim

:15:49. > :15:54.breaststroke very well! Dan has a great breaststroke. They were just

:15:55. > :16:00.going through 15 metres and that is impressive. Dan is an awesome

:16:01. > :16:06.breaststroke swimmer. Chad le Clos is a world-class swimmer, but if he

:16:07. > :16:09.needs to do one thing it is to work on breaststroke. Breaststroke is

:16:10. > :16:20.about timing, it is different from others. With Chad, his turns are

:16:21. > :16:24.incredible. On the backstroke and front freestyle, he works that

:16:25. > :16:26.underwater. On the breaststroke it is different under water and he

:16:27. > :22:00.misses out on guys, the veterans, it is a good

:22:01. > :22:03.place to be. We can move on to the medley relay. Plenty of home nations

:22:04. > :22:10.interest. COMMENTATOR: Australia will probably

:22:11. > :22:14.change most of their team for the final this evening. They have to

:22:15. > :22:19.make sure there are no disqualifications. The Welsh team

:22:20. > :22:47.have two changes. Heat 2. Wales up there in two, Papua

:22:48. > :22:52.New Guinea in three, Australia four, England five and Scotland six.

:22:53. > :23:07.Northern Ireland, fourth in the first heat. They are hoping to beat

:23:08. > :23:14.Papua New Guinea. Lizzie Simmonds. Belinda Hocking, strong.

:23:15. > :23:34.She won the 200 metres backstroke. This is great swimming. Both pushing

:23:35. > :23:46.hard. I think they would like to go sub 60. It is not easy to do. It

:23:47. > :23:59.will be fairly close. 59.94 from Hocking.

:24:00. > :24:09.Team Wales, we have had tight takeovers and the takeover again to

:24:10. > :24:16.be confirmed, which sometimes means a disqualification. Let's hope they

:24:17. > :24:22.are OK. Sally Hunter for Australia against Molly Renshaw, of England.

:24:23. > :24:27.This is interesting. She speeded up her stroke. On the individual 100

:24:28. > :24:41.she felt it was too slow. She is doing well. We will get Taylor into

:24:42. > :24:47.night. Australia leading, and I bet they do

:24:48. > :24:58.night. Australia leading, and I bet takeover time. Nice and safe.

:24:59. > :25:08.England also say. Wales, the second has still to be checked. Team Wales

:25:09. > :25:22.at the top. Team Scotland are doing well. There is a real gap between

:25:23. > :25:22.the teams. I think Australia have put a

:25:23. > :25:25.well. There is a real gap between the teams. I think Australia have B

:25:26. > :25:29.team in. Quite dominant on this. England, with a couple of changes,

:25:30. > :25:34.could get closer. Then you have Canada from the first heat. It is

:25:35. > :25:42.all to blame for tonight. The Australian B team, anchored by

:25:43. > :25:44.Bronte Campbell, 52.8 for her 100 metres

:25:45. > :25:47.Bronte Campbell, 52.8 for her 100 the world. Unbelievable. She had the

:25:48. > :25:52.Commonwealth Games the world. Unbelievable. She had the

:25:53. > :26:04.freestyle for a while. the world. Unbelievable. She had the

:26:05. > :26:20.freestyle relay already set the record.

:26:21. > :26:38.It will be interesting Campbell's time.

:26:39. > :26:54.Just under four minutes. getting the third-place. A big cheer

:26:55. > :27:04.from the crowd, for bringing back team home. Wales touched fourth but

:27:05. > :27:10.from the crowd, for bringing back one of their takeovers has still to

:27:11. > :27:15.be checked. Papua New Guinea, 30 metres still to go, here they are.

:27:16. > :27:21.Relatively good news for Northern Ireland. As long as they come in

:27:22. > :27:34.ahead of Papua New Guinea, they will make it through to the final this

:27:35. > :27:38.evening. They will make it. Papua New Guinea finishing in fifth. They

:27:39. > :27:47.could make the final if Wales are disqualified. Zero time between the

:27:48. > :27:55.could make the final if Wales are backstroke swimmer touching the wall

:27:56. > :28:00.and her toes leaving the block. 0.0. She has done that. South Africa and

:28:01. > :28:08.Wales have done it. I think it is the benefit of the doubt. Do you

:28:09. > :28:14.think? In our day you were allowed 0.03. They might have changed. We

:28:15. > :28:29.will find out. Because they are minors, they might not want to show

:28:30. > :28:38.it and they put on 0.0. Australia's B team is quite incredible. I think

:28:39. > :28:45.the England team are talking to Sharon Davies. They have given you

:28:46. > :28:55.the passes but she is not the most responsible! I am more likely to

:28:56. > :29:03.drop them. I was out first, so I am least tired. Changes tonight. It is

:29:04. > :29:09.great here because we can rest the team for the finals. For us, it was

:29:10. > :29:13.about doing a solid job and being safe on takeovers and putting the

:29:14. > :29:23.team in a good position for tonight. To content for the gold position.

:29:24. > :29:25.Molly, a good week? Definitely, my first Commonwealth Games and

:29:26. > :29:30.hopefully the girls can do better tonight. The juniors among you know

:29:31. > :29:36.each other well, but working with the senior team is different. It is

:29:37. > :29:44.a different atmosphere, but it is really nice. You have trained with

:29:45. > :29:47.Fran Halsall. You have been competing for years. You must be

:29:48. > :29:54.pleased with the way the team is coming through? Definitely. I am

:29:55. > :29:59.happy with the guys coming through. It is weird having people biting at

:30:00. > :30:03.your heels, but it is good for the team. I am happy that we

:30:04. > :30:08.your heels, but it is good for the progressing. Can we beat the

:30:09. > :30:17.Australians? I would like to think so. Nothing wrong with that, a bit

:30:18. > :30:24.of optimism, they would fit in well at here. We move onto the men's four

:30:25. > :30:28.x 100. Wales, the perfect takeover, not so keen on takeovers in the

:30:29. > :30:35.relay yourself, are you, Mark Foster? Do you remember that,

:30:36. > :30:39.session we had last night, then? With the touchpad on the wall that

:30:40. > :30:43.stops the timing system, for the block there is a pressure pad, so

:30:44. > :30:47.when the hands coming of the swimmers returning to the wall and

:30:48. > :30:50.the person leaving, their hand could be touching the wall here while this

:30:51. > :30:57.person could be in the air as long as their toes are still on the

:30:58. > :31:00.block, hence the 0.00 part. It is difficult, I think Andrew and Adrian

:31:01. > :31:06.Wilner exactly what we are talking about.

:31:07. > :31:13.COMMENTATOR: Andrew, what have you got to say about that? Andy Jamieson

:31:14. > :31:24.comes into the wall, and Mark Foster's hands touches feet. --

:31:25. > :31:28.touches his feet. Mark Foster jumped on my legs, he could not wait. He

:31:29. > :31:33.was getting too impatient, I was far too slow. Disqualified in the final

:31:34. > :31:38.of the limpets. But we are not going to talk about that! CHUCKLING

:31:39. > :31:44.I still blame him but he still blames me, that is all right. And

:31:45. > :31:52.you both blamed me! In Lane 7 of this first heat of the men's four x

:31:53. > :31:57.100-metre relay, your head has to come up by the 50 metres and he was

:31:58. > :32:03.very close indeed. We have Gibraltar in one, Scotland in two, Malaysia in

:32:04. > :32:11.three, Canada in four, Guernsey, Wales, Scotland and New Zealand.

:32:12. > :32:15.Andrew McGovern leading them out. There are 14 teams in this, it is a

:32:16. > :32:19.little bit harder to make the final. You really want to be in the top

:32:20. > :32:29.three here to make sure you are in it. Cory Main, from New Zealand.

:32:30. > :32:36.Schneider, their main brushstroke. New Zealand, then Wales. It was a

:32:37. > :32:41.very professional takeover, 31 hundredths of a second, what on

:32:42. > :32:47.earth are these guys doing? 31 hundredths is too tight. Don't do

:32:48. > :32:58.it, I am getting annoyed -- three one hundredths of a second.

:32:59. > :33:17.Blends riders from New Zealand over first. -- Glenn Snyders from New

:33:18. > :33:26.Zealand. He trains over in Los Angeles. New Zealand leading. Canada

:33:27. > :33:35.are doing well. They are in Lane 4. Wales just touching third.

:33:36. > :33:43.New Zealand leading, second at the moment it is. It looks like it is

:33:44. > :33:46.Canada now leading, they have overtaken New Zealand down at the

:33:47. > :33:57.bottom there. Team whilst doing well. Cameron Brodie for Scotland.

:33:58. > :34:03.And a new 50-metre pool in a boarding school down in Devon. What

:34:04. > :34:18.a programme they are going to have. Cameron Brodie swam a wonderful

:34:19. > :34:26.200-metre fly. They are backstroke and breaststroke. Canada going

:34:27. > :34:31.first. New Zealand second, Wales three, Scotland in fourth. They need

:34:32. > :34:41.to pick it up a little bit, takeover. Zero

:34:42. > :34:57.Wales having a great swim. Winning the battle at the moment between

:34:58. > :35:04.Scotland. Jack thought has gone off very quickly indeed. That is Canada

:35:05. > :35:10.-- Jack Thorpe. New Zealand in second. On the right-hand side,

:35:11. > :35:13.right at the top, team Scotland may be overtaking Wales closest to us.

:35:14. > :35:21.They will be tight. Wales may be going to get it. Fourth place is a

:35:22. > :35:27.little bit of a dangerous place to finish. It is very dangerous. Wales,

:35:28. > :35:33.that touch there could have done it. South Africa, Australia, England in

:35:34. > :35:38.this next heat. The rest of the teams not as strong. So maybe they

:35:39. > :35:43.should be OK. Scotland, don't get too worried. Maybe they should be?

:35:44. > :35:55.should be OK. Scotland, don't get waiting, the Gibraltar team coming

:35:56. > :36:04.Again, some very, very tight takeovers. As the result been

:36:05. > :36:07.confirmed? Yes it has. The start from Marco Laughlin was fine on the

:36:08. > :36:18.backstroke he did not go past 15, I knew it, it was very comfortable. It

:36:19. > :36:22.was tight, very tight. The swimmers are pushing the boundaries all the

:36:23. > :36:27.time. That is the difference between gold and silver. If you can add to

:36:28. > :36:30.the swimming technique and talent, you win medals by doing good skills.

:36:31. > :36:55.Canada win the first heat. Guernsey in fifth. I do think they

:36:56. > :37:02.will make it through. Straight into the second of the heats. Australia

:37:03. > :37:10.next to the Isle of Man, what a lane assignment that is. South Africa in

:37:11. > :37:11.two, Australia in four. Goodness me. We have camp and a bird behind

:37:12. > :37:44.Rousseau. -- van der Bergh. The second heat of the men's four x

:37:45. > :37:47.100-metre relay. Good starts all the way through. Most of these teams

:37:48. > :37:50.will be swapping out way through. Most of these teams

:37:51. > :37:52.swimmers into the final. You can rest as many as you want to from the

:37:53. > :37:59.heats, so many of rest as many as you want to from the

:38:00. > :38:06.this morning. Chad le Clos one in the heats of the medley, and the

:38:07. > :38:07.flyer here, Dylan Bosch. Cameron van der Burgh decided not to

:38:08. > :38:16.flyer here, Dylan Bosch. Cameron van breaststroke, but they have stuck in

:38:17. > :38:18.there. -- stuck him in there. He is not doing the fly leg. But they will

:38:19. > :38:37.need him to qualify, I think. This is quite an interesting race.

:38:38. > :38:44.Hancock for England -- Tancock for England. It is England in Lane 1,

:38:45. > :38:48.Australia in two, South Africa at the top in third. -- England in one

:38:49. > :39:00.position. This is where we think there could

:39:01. > :39:05.be a weakling. James Wilby. Turning first for England. Adam

:39:06. > :39:08.be a weakling. James Wilby. Turning there. Good swimming from Wilby. He

:39:09. > :39:15.has impressed me in this com petition. There you have Cameron

:39:16. > :39:16.has impressed me in this com der Burgh of South Africa. A

:39:17. > :39:23.different der Burgh of South Africa. A

:39:24. > :39:30.see him swim the brushstroke. I thought it might be quicker than

:39:31. > :39:41.that. Will be of England in the Black Cats very good indeed. Handing

:39:42. > :39:52.over to James Guy. Cam van der Burgh handing over the Dylan Bosch. For

:39:53. > :40:11.Australia, very good start. Kenneth Toe handing over. Third on the

:40:12. > :40:24.individual 100-metre three. -- free. D'Orsogna catching up James Guy. Ten

:40:25. > :40:42.one handing over to Cameron McAvoy -- D'Orsogna handing over to Cameron

:40:43. > :40:52.McEvoy. Cameron McEvoy chasing Disney made. McEvoy, brilliant

:40:53. > :40:58.turns. Over half a second. Let's see whether McEvoy comes up again. James

:40:59. > :41:10.Disney may of England currently leading. McEvoy trying to prove how

:41:11. > :41:14.good a freestyler he is. He was a silver-medallist in the 100-metre

:41:15. > :41:22.freestyle. It is beautiful to watch. The B team for Australia has, I

:41:23. > :41:28.think, just missed the games record. 337. England second,

:41:29. > :41:30.think, just missed the games record. South Africa, fourth Northern

:41:31. > :41:49.Ireland, they have done well there, 3.47. McEvoy 48.37, just coming in

:41:50. > :41:59.now the Zambian team in Lane 1. Qualification I believe from the

:42:00. > :42:06.three. They all anxiously look. Gold confirmed, they can now start to

:42:07. > :42:13.stand down and relax. That backstroke battle at the beginning,

:42:14. > :42:18.we noticed. The yellow cab the Black Cats. Again the Australian slowest

:42:19. > :42:30.up to the take your marks position. I know. Beaver, a bit of a personal

:42:31. > :42:35.battle going on there. Going into the final wall, half a second

:42:36. > :42:40.between James Disney-May in the black hat and that wonderful final

:42:41. > :42:44.leg from Cam McEvoy, the silver-medallist in the individual

:42:45. > :42:50.100-metre freestyle. He started a body length behind and finished a

:42:51. > :42:56.body length ahead. Can England beat Australia tonight? Can they? Yes.

:42:57. > :43:01.Will they? I really don't know. On paper, England are faster from each

:43:02. > :43:05.of the fastest hundred metre times, the back, the breast, the fly and

:43:06. > :43:11.the free, but it will not be swum on paper and you know the Aussies will

:43:12. > :43:18.be tough. I think Northern Ireland might make it in. A great swim for

:43:19. > :43:21.them. 3.47.83. I think they are just ahead of Singapore in Knightsbridge,

:43:22. > :43:25.yes they are, well done Northern Ireland. Australia the fastest in.

:43:26. > :43:33.England will be next to them. Included will be in Lane 3. Wales

:43:34. > :43:36.are in, Scotland are in common Northern Ireland are in, very good

:43:37. > :43:42.from the home nations. What a final that is going to be.

:43:43. > :43:47.A good day for Northern Ireland, they started off well and they are

:43:48. > :43:52.into the final in the men's and women's. We need the moral support

:43:53. > :43:58.this morning, I think somebody dropped those biscuits in one of the

:43:59. > :44:01.computers! Anyway, men's and women's finals tonight, England, Scotland,

:44:02. > :44:06.Wales and Northern Ireland. They will change all of their team

:44:07. > :44:10.though, when they? Yes, being learned and Australian teams will,

:44:11. > :44:14.yes, they have strength in depth. Both races will be interesting, very

:44:15. > :44:18.tight. The men have not won the 400-metre medley relay since 1952

:44:19. > :44:23.and they have a very good chance the night. Yes, they have. On paper,

:44:24. > :44:30.they are meant to be faster than the Australians. The women as well will

:44:31. > :44:33.be strong. Sophie Taylor, who 100-metre breast wrote last night,

:44:34. > :44:38.so they have a really strong team. If you are in the heats and you

:44:39. > :44:41.still get a medal if you win the final, but surely you must be a

:44:42. > :44:45.little disappointed not to be in the final? If you think about it as part

:44:46. > :44:50.of a team, and you do your bit for the team. You enable for the others

:44:51. > :44:56.to stay at home, stay in bed, rest up, they get the glory, but you do

:44:57. > :45:00.it for your team. We will finish with a bang with the England team

:45:01. > :45:04.tonight. They are bigger people than I am, that is all I can say. Thank

:45:05. > :45:07.you for your company, thank you for welcoming me to swimming and

:45:08. > :45:12.teaching me the ways. Thank you for watching. The finals are the night.

:45:13. > :45:22.Clare will be with you from 7pm on BBC1 but it is time to head back to

:45:23. > :45:26.leave. They say that four seasons in one day was written about

:45:27. > :45:31.Melbourne. I think it is about Glasgow today. The wind has picked

:45:32. > :45:36.up. It is pretty breezy at Pacific Quay. I imagine you would find it

:45:37. > :45:50.more windy if you were doing acrobatics on a boat. We have been

:45:51. > :46:02.asking you to send in your Commonwelfies. Margaret Hughes is

:46:03. > :46:10.enjoying the biscuits. This is one of the volunteers, who have been

:46:11. > :46:17.fabulous. April has taken a picture with a gold medallist. Sherrington.

:46:18. > :46:29.And Greg Rutherford captured in this one. Cathkin Braes is home to the

:46:30. > :46:35.ladies' mountain bike race. We can join Jill Douglas. We are expecting

:46:36. > :46:39.the leaders in this race to come through the start finish area after

:46:40. > :46:46.the first opening lap of the six lap race. They will come through any

:46:47. > :46:50.moment now. They will compete about 32 kilometres. It is a hot pace from

:46:51. > :46:56.the start. A breakaway group of seven riders took hold of the race.

:46:57. > :46:59.They included Annie Last. Out on the seven riders took hold of the race.

:47:00. > :47:06.They included Annie Last. Out on the course, Canada's Catharine Pendrel

:47:07. > :47:10.has taken control of the race. Rebecca Henderson trying to chase

:47:11. > :47:15.down the experienced Canadian. At the moment, it looks like the

:47:16. > :47:17.Canadian rider will try to control the race from the front. We can go

:47:18. > :47:32.over to commentary. COMMENTATOR: Henderson trying to

:47:33. > :47:35.hold on for second place. Her best chance of taking Catharine Pendrel

:47:36. > :47:42.is if there is a technical problem or a fall for the Canadian leader.

:47:43. > :47:46.As good as the riders are, it only takes a lapse of concentration. And

:47:47. > :47:51.there are plenty of treacherous segments on the course. From walking

:47:52. > :47:57.it yesterday, an awful lot of climbing, as well. Back with

:47:58. > :48:09.Catharine Pendrel, the leader. Well clear of Henderson of Australia. And

:48:10. > :48:16.also Annie Last, of England. If she can hold this pace and

:48:17. > :48:22.determination, she will put more time into her competitors. She is

:48:23. > :48:26.putting a lot of hard work into this. This long steady climb, just

:48:27. > :48:36.what you need when your legs are burning! Barely any flat on this

:48:37. > :48:41.course. There is one section called rest to be thankful, but it

:48:42. > :48:43.course. There is one section called last long. A look behind from

:48:44. > :48:57.Catharine Pendrel to see what the gap is between herself. Rebecca

:48:58. > :49:11.Henderson and Emily Batty are riding along together. The Canadians,

:49:12. > :49:14.perhaps, eyeing up a 1-2. They have won the previous two Commonwealth

:49:15. > :49:21.Games in the women's event. They will certainly want to win today's.

:49:22. > :49:23.Emily Batty, slipped herself into second position. She will possibly

:49:24. > :49:34.be the biggest threat the second position. She will possibly

:49:35. > :49:42.Pendrel. Canada have dominated in the men's and the women's, winning

:49:43. > :49:46.six of those available in the cross-country mountain bike. This is

:49:47. > :49:51.the third time this event has been present at the Commonwealth Games.

:49:52. > :49:57.It was a big app in the cycling schedule in Delhi, four years ago.

:49:58. > :50:09.Coming down towards Propeller points. -- Propeller Point. It is

:50:10. > :50:11.Coming down towards Propeller obstacle a bit of a name.

:50:12. > :50:20.Coming down towards Propeller favourites is the Double Dare. They

:50:21. > :50:20.have options, they have been built so similar they

:50:21. > :50:25.favourites is the Double Dare. They have options, they have believe you

:50:26. > :50:29.carry the same speed through both options but the riders have an

:50:30. > :50:35.opportunity to pass each other. We will let you know when the riders

:50:36. > :50:48.gets to that section. There is a climb up towards Double Dare. The

:50:49. > :50:52.descents down snakes. With the riders being spread out,

:50:53. > :50:59.particularly for the leader, she can give herself the ultimate choice of

:51:00. > :51:07.lines and maybe swap the lines over. It seemed to be the fastest route to

:51:08. > :51:12.start on one side of Double Dare, and then switch. This is an aerial

:51:13. > :51:18.view. It is a fast downhill. We get a lot of momentum and speed. She is

:51:19. > :51:26.coming along and approaching the Double Dare section. She will want

:51:27. > :51:32.to take the fastest route to gain another couple of seconds. It seems

:51:33. > :51:40.she can only be beaten by herself at the moment. The second lap of six,

:51:41. > :51:46.Catharine Pendrel, the highest ranked rider in this competition.

:51:47. > :51:52.Well clear of Rebecca Henderson. Catharine Pendrel is 17th in the

:51:53. > :51:57.rankings. Henderson is 20. Emily Batty is 21. Catharine Pendrel

:51:58. > :52:04.talked a good game before the race began and she is holding up her end

:52:05. > :52:07.of the bargain. She started on the right side and switched

:52:08. > :52:10.of the bargain. She started on the left. The opposite, in fact.

:52:11. > :52:22.Starting on the left and switching to the right. The battle of the

:52:23. > :52:28.second and third. Henderson, she has slipped down into third place. Emily

:52:29. > :52:37.Batty just leads her. Both riders taking the different lines down. We

:52:38. > :52:41.will now see which is faster. It will be interesting to know which

:52:42. > :52:50.rider wants to be in France. There is also an advantage to being

:52:51. > :52:55.behind. -- wants to be in front. We could have a mighty race for silver

:52:56. > :53:00.and bronze medals. Rebecca Henderson switch to the other side of the

:53:01. > :53:06.track. She thought her side was better than the one she was on. They

:53:07. > :53:11.have slipped back into the slipstream of two riders. That is my

:53:12. > :53:17.favourite section, where you can see both riders going down together.

:53:18. > :53:26.Catharine Pendrel making her way along again. There was no rest on

:53:27. > :53:31.the course. Up and down all day. Cross-country is like that. There is

:53:32. > :53:38.no scope for drafting, it is about your hard work and you feel every

:53:39. > :53:43.inch of the course. It is energy sapping. There are long, steady

:53:44. > :53:50.climbs and some sharp climbs where they will be down the gear set and

:53:51. > :53:56.out of the saddle. I have not had the privilege of riding it but it is

:53:57. > :54:02.a fantastic course. It has been designed by a famous mountain bike

:54:03. > :54:07.course designer. He speaks about the passion of building courses. He has

:54:08. > :54:11.been employed by the UCI to build courses like this. He travels around

:54:12. > :54:18.the world building cross-country courses. A lot of the athletes are

:54:19. > :54:29.happy with this course. They say it is not too technical, but it has

:54:30. > :54:35.fantastic parts in it. Catharine Pendrel is still leading and she is

:54:36. > :54:41.determined to claim the gold medal. She has shown that termination so

:54:42. > :54:47.far in this performance. Henderson and the other Canadian, Emily Batty

:54:48. > :54:52.in the battle for second place. Catharine Pendrel hoping to steer

:54:53. > :55:00.clear of butchers, mechanical problems and any lapses in

:55:01. > :55:11.concentration. -- steer clear of punctures. This is the Rest And Be

:55:12. > :55:21.Thankful part of the course. Then you come into Queen Mary's drop. The

:55:22. > :55:27.inside one has a cobbled drop. Not something you would want to take on

:55:28. > :55:34.a wet day. That looks the most difficult option of that drop. She

:55:35. > :55:39.took the outside line, not taking any chances, because she has a big

:55:40. > :55:43.lead. The inside is the shortest, but the most technical. Maybe

:55:44. > :55:58.playing safe, taking the easier options. She does enjoy a massive

:55:59. > :56:03.lead at the moment. 19 seconds at the last break. That might have

:56:04. > :56:07.increased up to 30 as she makes her way down Braveheart, another section

:56:08. > :56:11.named by the locals. Not every section will remain for the locals

:56:12. > :56:23.to ride when the Commonwealth Games packs up. Broken Biscuits, Clyde

:56:24. > :56:31.climb and Brig O'Doom will remain. You can understand this because you

:56:32. > :56:38.could get into trouble on subsections. Catharine Pendrel

:56:39. > :56:43.finish second in the World Cup this year, despite a broken collarbone

:56:44. > :56:51.and missing the first round. She got back in time for the second round.

:56:52. > :56:55.Emily Batty was also able to get a podium this year. And she is sitting

:56:56. > :57:01.in second place, the team-mate of Catharine Pendrel. Catharine Pendrel

:57:02. > :57:08.looking to make it three consecutive gold medals in mountain bike

:57:09. > :57:13.cross-country. Henderson, the Australian, could be the fly in the

:57:14. > :57:20.ointment, she is neck and neck with Emily Batty. These are the English

:57:21. > :57:25.riders in fourth and fifth position will stop Annie Last is an outside

:57:26. > :57:30.favourite for the podium. She has had a disrupted season but she is

:57:31. > :57:36.coming to form at the right time, winning the national championship

:57:37. > :57:42.ten days ago. Back with the leader. At 33, it might be the last time she

:57:51. > :57:56.games gold medal in 2007 stop she studies the courses, lying in bed

:57:57. > :58:01.visualising the course the night before. The best possible scenario

:58:02. > :58:07.for her would have been what has taken place here. This is the battle

:58:08. > :58:12.for second and third. Emily Batty with a slender advantage over

:58:13. > :58:17.Rebecca Henderson. If these two remain like this until the end of

:58:18. > :58:22.the six the lap it will be quite a race to the line, up the hill. It

:58:23. > :58:29.will be a question of who has most strength and energy left in that

:58:30. > :58:37.energy sapping finish. Fourth and fifth, English riders. Annie Last

:58:38. > :58:44.and Alice Barnes. Bethany Crumpton is the third English rider in this

:58:45. > :58:48.competition. They do not have the advantage of being closer to ride

:58:49. > :58:53.the course because they only finalise the course yesterday, it

:58:54. > :58:58.was that late. The course was built a while ago but they threw in extra

:58:59. > :59:04.difficult bits. They are crossing one of the most difficult, the

:59:05. > :59:09.Broken Biscuits. She almost had problems on the first lap, Catharine

:59:10. > :59:20.Pendrel, but she went through that more conservatively. There is no

:59:21. > :59:25.need to take any chances. She did not get off to the best start,

:59:26. > :59:31.almost waiting her turn, and then she flew to the front and has not

:59:32. > :59:32.looked back since. Catharine Pendrel will be confident with her endurance

:59:33. > :59:39.and form. This circuit is based on will be confident with her endurance

:59:40. > :59:43.endurance and stamina, rather than the technical aspect. She played it

:59:44. > :59:48.safe at the start but when she got the opening when she could go for

:59:49. > :59:55.it, she put daylight between herself and second and third places. The

:59:56. > :00:07.second blaze, Emily Batty, and also after her Rebecca Henderson. They

:00:08. > :00:10.remain together, Emily Batty and Henderson. But the gap has got

:00:11. > :00:14.bigger between Henderson. But the gap has got

:00:15. > :00:23.Pendrel. 49 seconds is the gap from team-mate Emily Batty. The two

:00:24. > :00:30.English riders are currently in fourth and fifth place. It will be

:00:31. > :00:34.interesting to see the significant gap between the riders in fourth and

:00:35. > :00:39.fifth place and the riders in podium positions at the moment. The

:00:40. > :00:45.interesting thing about the competition at the moment, the

:00:46. > :00:48.second and third and fifth placed riders, Emily Batty,

:00:49. > :00:53.second and third and fifth placed Annie Last, ride on the same

:00:54. > :00:59.professional mountain bike team. They know each other quite well,

:01:00. > :01:00.racing World Cups together in the same organisation with the same

:01:01. > :01:07.support staff. same organisation with the same

:01:08. > :01:21.from Barnes, the newish rider in thought, and Henderson in third -- a

:01:22. > :01:22.30 second gap. -- the English rider in fourth place and Henderson

:01:23. > :01:25.30 second gap. -- the English rider third. With all of the variables on

:01:26. > :01:29.a mountain bike track, there is nothing to be taken for granted.

:01:30. > :01:35.This was the last part of the section to be finished. It was the

:01:36. > :01:40.little sharp dirt climb that you see Pendrel coming up. There was some

:01:41. > :01:45.pretty loose soil on that as well, so it is about getting your body

:01:46. > :01:50.position right. They make it look quite easy, we had a bit of a

:01:51. > :01:52.struggle walking up that section, trying to get traction. These

:01:53. > :02:03.athletes are making it look quite easy. Again around the Gilmore tree

:02:04. > :02:07.as it is now known. It got a big hug from me yesterday when a rider came

:02:08. > :02:11.zooming past. This is quite a difficult section that they'll so

:02:12. > :02:18.look quite easy -- make look quite easy. With a bit of lactic acid in

:02:19. > :02:23.the legs, each of these obstacles and sections on the course are going

:02:24. > :02:29.to get much more difficult. She is not looking behind so much now,

:02:30. > :02:34.Pendrel, keeping that the pace up, powering through. And there has been

:02:35. > :02:41.a bit of an incident here, as you can see. We have a fall on this

:02:42. > :02:50.segment, which has built up -- someone who has fallen. Kate Fluker

:02:51. > :02:55.has gone down. She has held up Karen Hendley, the New Zealand team-mate,

:02:56. > :02:58.behind her. That was very unfortunate, the two Kiwis who came

:02:59. > :03:05.in with fine form, talking to their high-performance managers yesterday.

:03:06. > :03:09.That might bring the followers up together. Pendrel will not know

:03:10. > :03:15.about that at the moment. This is why they like to get out in front

:03:16. > :03:19.early in the race, to stay away from those unfortunate mishaps. Yes, that

:03:20. > :03:24.can cost you an awful amount of time and it all piles up like that. It

:03:25. > :03:30.just shows you at this level they don't consider it an over technical

:03:31. > :03:35.course, but it shows you how difficult it is, with experienced

:03:36. > :03:40.riders getting into trouble. There is a lot that can go wrong on this

:03:41. > :03:46.course, because of the stones that are out there. Sometimes you land on

:03:47. > :03:50.such rough surfaces. That was noticeable yesterday. As you say,

:03:51. > :03:55.the landing sections can be pretty gnarly at times, and there is few

:03:56. > :04:03.routes out there that can catch you unawares. This is the battle between

:04:04. > :04:06.silver and bronze between the Australian Rebecca Henderson and

:04:07. > :04:12.Emily Batty of Canada. Canada will be desperate at the top two steps of

:04:13. > :04:18.the podium, and a disaster, it looks like Catharine Pendrel will be

:04:19. > :04:22.occupying top spot on that podium. I do know if it would be slipping into

:04:23. > :04:26.her mind, but it would be slipping into mine if there could be a

:04:27. > :04:31.mechanical. I would be very worried about that. The mechanics will have

:04:32. > :04:34.been nothing over these bikes ten times this morning, making sure

:04:35. > :04:39.nothing can go wrong, but something can always go wrong, especially on a

:04:40. > :04:46.course like this, which has a few difficult sections. Four laps to go.

:04:47. > :04:49.Going over 20 kph. The speeds are much less than you get on the roads

:04:50. > :04:57.but the effort level is every much bit up there. You can see these two

:04:58. > :05:03.riders getting into a bit of a team time trial mode, sometimes batty is

:05:04. > :05:12.in front, the other time Henderson in front. -- Batty. Karen Hanlen,

:05:13. > :05:16.who we saw having trouble a few moments ago, getting into all sorts

:05:17. > :05:24.of trouble, we understand she has come off again. We are concentrating

:05:25. > :05:31.at the moment on the battle the second between Henderson and Batty.

:05:32. > :05:34.Not only whistle Karen Hanlen get caught up in dirty make that fell,

:05:35. > :05:37.Kate Fluker, perhaps the adrenaline got pumping, try to make up some

:05:38. > :05:42.time, put herself under a bit of pressure, oh, she has just had to

:05:43. > :05:46.put her foot down. I am not sure how that happened but she came around

:05:47. > :05:49.that corner. That is often what happens when you get held up a bit,

:05:50. > :05:53.the Journal in starts rushing and you need to get that time back that

:05:54. > :05:57.you lost and she has just decided to run down that hill. The trouble is

:05:58. > :06:01.when you lose a bit of momentum, you do live Chile just have to run down

:06:02. > :06:07.and get back on again. She has had a tough time of it on this lap, Karen

:06:08. > :06:10.Hanlen, the New Zealander. The Oceana and New Zealand champion,

:06:11. > :06:17.remember, really struggling here at the Commonwealth Games. There are

:06:18. > :06:26.the top five, Barnes and Last, still some way adrift. Pendrel, Henderson

:06:27. > :06:29.and Batty other three riders dominating this. Lee Craigie, the

:06:30. > :06:34.local Glaswegian rider, down in sixth position. This ride at the

:06:35. > :06:40.moment is all about Catharine Pendrel, the runaway leader from

:06:41. > :06:44.Canada. Looking to make up for disappointment at the last two

:06:45. > :06:48.Olympic Games. Nine seconds she missed out on a medal by in

:06:49. > :06:51.Beijing, and in cross-country mountain biking that is a

:06:52. > :07:02.hair's-breadth on missing out on a medal. Two New Zealand riders coming

:07:03. > :07:13.through, Kate Fluker and Karen Hanlen. It is disappointing. They

:07:14. > :07:17.felt good this morning, the two Kiwis, but they have had some bad

:07:18. > :07:20.luck with a couple of crashes there. New Zealand have meddled in

:07:21. > :07:27.the two previous women's anti-bike races. Susie Pryde took silver in

:07:28. > :07:33.2002, Rosario Joseph the same colour in 2006. A medal not looking on the

:07:34. > :07:38.table at the moment for the Kiwis. This is Pendrel, dominating this

:07:39. > :07:42.ride, there has even been talk of the Canadians perhaps taking top

:07:43. > :07:46.spot in the men's and women's this year. Pendrel certainly at the

:07:47. > :07:51.moment holding up her end of the bargain, as she goes down again into

:07:52. > :07:56.your favourite segment of the race, Double Dare. Yes, I would really

:07:57. > :08:02.like to get a mountain bike and have a go at that, it looks like a lot of

:08:03. > :08:06.fun. You can see Pendrel there, she has slowed down actually a little

:08:07. > :08:10.bit in the last lap, the last lap was very fast down here but now she

:08:11. > :08:14.can afford to take it a little bit easy. She doesn't want to take any

:08:15. > :08:21.risks. This might be a section where athletes that come onto the Double

:08:22. > :08:26.Dare will be able to see their opponents out in front. This is how

:08:27. > :08:34.we stand at the moment, Catharine Pendrel leading by one minute.

:08:35. > :08:40.Henderson and Batty tied together and then a 40 second gap to the next

:08:41. > :08:46.riders. Alice Barnes and Annie Last, the two Englishwomen. It looks like

:08:47. > :08:53.we will have the excitement of seeing these two riders going down

:08:54. > :08:59.the Double Dare this time. They have taken different lines again. I can't

:09:00. > :09:02.remember if it is the same line bait last time whether they have swapped

:09:03. > :09:06.over, but it does seem when one goes one way, the other takes the other.

:09:07. > :09:10.But there is nothing between these two riders. This is going to develop

:09:11. > :09:19.into a fantastic race, if it remains like this. Swapping over second

:09:20. > :09:23.position at the moment, the Canadians Batty and Rebecca

:09:24. > :09:30.Henderson. Those are the two English riders, riding together in fourth

:09:31. > :09:34.and fifth place. Barnes and Last. Barnes, the 19-year-old from Oxford,

:09:35. > :09:39.selected to be part of the British cycling Academy head of the 2016

:09:40. > :09:42.Olympics in Rio, which is the major target for her, although she did say

:09:43. > :09:48.initially it was to compete in these games, her major ambition. She has

:09:49. > :09:57.not had a bad season in the under 23 World Cup, though she failed to

:09:58. > :10:04.finish higher than 18th. You just see their Barnes swapping over the

:10:05. > :10:07.line on Double Dare halfway down. Back with the leader, Catharine

:10:08. > :10:12.Pendrel. At the last count, more than a minute ahead of nearest

:10:13. > :10:18.rivals, Rebecca Henderson and Emily Batty. Of course, the mechanics can

:10:19. > :10:22.do their bit of course, make sure the bike is in absolute tip top

:10:23. > :10:26.condition, but of course you can never count for the dreaded

:10:27. > :10:31.puncture, can you, or a heavy fall. Although, with a minute lead, she

:10:32. > :10:35.does have the luxury as we saw on the Queen Mary 's drop of taking ace

:10:36. > :10:40.slower, safer line. Yes, it looks like she has that clear advantage.

:10:41. > :10:44.She can also take sections to get her wrist back and get form, and she

:10:45. > :10:48.is not under much pressure here. It is no surprise for us, because she

:10:49. > :10:53.was the clear favourite going into today's race. Her team-mate Emily

:10:54. > :10:57.Batty is fighting it out for second position at the moment with Rebecca

:10:58. > :11:08.Henderson. Emily Batty has a lot of fans who will be watching her today.

:11:09. > :11:16.18.6 5000 followers, one of the most popular -- 18.65 K followers. That

:11:17. > :11:20.is the good thing with popular -- 18.65 K followers. That

:11:21. > :11:24.these days, the athletes can gauge how many fans they have, can't they?

:11:25. > :11:27.That is right, and how many fans they have, can't they?

:11:28. > :11:30.the opportunity of reaching their fans with what is going on

:11:31. > :11:35.the opportunity of reaching their their preparation, and letting them

:11:36. > :11:38.know how everything is going. The former world champion, Catharine

:11:39. > :11:42.Pendrel of Canada, more than a minute in front, looking good for

:11:43. > :11:46.gold in the return of mountain biking to the Commonwealth Games.

:11:47. > :11:48.She has had a good year so far. She was second at the World

:11:49. > :12:01.She has had a good year so far. She round three in novel -- in May. This

:12:02. > :12:04.is the Braveheart section. Again, these riders make it look pretty

:12:05. > :12:06.easy, and of course it never comes across on screen just how steep some

:12:07. > :12:10.easy, and of course it never comes of those gradients are when they are

:12:11. > :12:13.descending down. Prandelli, as most of the riders have done over the

:12:14. > :12:18.last couple of days, have made that looked extremely easy. That

:12:19. > :12:21.Braveheart section looked extremely easy. That

:12:22. > :12:23.steepest we have seen on the course. We basically slid the whole way down

:12:24. > :12:34.it, and then it was very We basically slid the whole way down

:12:35. > :12:40.had a couple of sketchy moments just in our trainers, let alone with a

:12:41. > :12:44.bike underneath us. Fabulous views of Glasgow from that Rest and Be

:12:45. > :12:49.Thankful section, you can see nearly half of the Commonwealth Games from

:12:50. > :12:53.there. This is the Queen Mary 's drop. Playing it safe. Yesterday in

:12:54. > :12:57.training we saw an awful lot of riders coming down off the inside

:12:58. > :13:00.and going for it. That looked like the more difficult section for us,

:13:01. > :13:04.but it was the quicker way around. It will be interesting to see

:13:05. > :13:07.whether the men take the inside or the outside, but that would have

:13:08. > :13:11.been an opportunity for Rebecca Henderson to get in front of Batty.

:13:12. > :13:16.We are not sure she wants to be at this point. She looks quite

:13:17. > :13:22.comfortable, sitting very close to the wheel, even on the technical

:13:23. > :13:26.sections. Straight back onto the wheel of Emily Batty. No problems

:13:27. > :13:33.down through the Braveheart, as they come across again these juristic

:13:34. > :13:39.views. It is the best frontage point you can have really to see across

:13:40. > :13:41.the city of Glasgow. It will be interesting to get a very close look

:13:42. > :13:44.at Rebecca Henderson, the Australian, what she is actually

:13:45. > :13:51.wearing, because she is extremely superstitious. She says that she won

:13:52. > :13:56.her first few under 23 Mountain bike World Cup races in a mix in Jersey,

:13:57. > :13:59.then she switched to a skin suit and became second for a few times in a

:14:00. > :14:06.row, and when she came back to the Nixon jersey, she came back to the

:14:07. > :14:11.top of the podium. That is how particular these athletes can be.

:14:12. > :14:15.Maybe it has played on her mind a bit. If she did not have the option

:14:16. > :14:22.it would be interesting to see what she is wearing today. Superstitions

:14:23. > :14:26.play such a large part of sporting psychology. I am sure you have one

:14:27. > :14:28.play such a large part of sporting psychology. I am sure you have or

:14:29. > :14:31.two? I am not actually very superstitious myself, but I know

:14:32. > :14:35.that just a comment from the wrong person on the wrong warning can ruin

:14:36. > :14:40.weeks of perfect preparation, so when it gets down to race day, you

:14:41. > :14:44.need to try to block everything out around you, your surroundings, and

:14:45. > :14:49.just believe in what you have done, and the work you have done, the form

:14:50. > :14:55.you are in, and let everything play out the way it does. But

:14:56. > :14:58.superstitions are a very common thing in cycling, particularly in

:14:59. > :15:02.the women's cycling. I know about that, I am not so involved in the

:15:03. > :15:05.men's side of things, but a lot of the women have very strong

:15:06. > :15:09.superstitions. This is her least favourite part of the course, the

:15:10. > :15:20.Broken Biscuits of course, the only time we have seen her move into any

:15:21. > :15:25.trouble at all. Through the Broken Biscuits, the 29 inch wheels, they

:15:26. > :15:33.said the course is suited to the larger wheel, the 26 inch. 29

:15:34. > :15:38.inches, they are the most popular on this course. They say it has a lot

:15:39. > :15:42.to do with the bigger wheels. Having the position where the wheel hits

:15:43. > :15:47.the obstacles in relation to the axel of the front and rear wheel,

:15:48. > :15:55.but 29 is the favourite. It is worth mentioning they just have front

:15:56. > :16:01.suspension. Really interesting for the average leisure mountain bike

:16:02. > :16:06.rider, who probably rise with rear suspension, also. Probably can't

:16:07. > :16:13.believe they take these obstacles on hard tail bikes, but they do. There

:16:14. > :16:19.is a button to change the suspension and turn it on and off. A lot of

:16:20. > :16:23.riders will soften it when they go down the rough obstacles, and when

:16:24. > :16:30.they get to the flat, all the uphill, they lock the suspension out

:16:31. > :16:35.so that the bikes are stiffer. Given how steep the climbs are, it would

:16:36. > :16:44.be a nightmare to have rear suspension. Mountain bikes are

:16:45. > :16:48.developing. Some of the men will be racing on electronic gears in the

:16:49. > :16:51.mountain bike race. Most of the women use mechanical gears. They

:16:52. > :16:59.have the lock-out system with the suspension, but mostly hydraulic.

:17:00. > :17:03.This bike at the moment, a little bit soft. We can see the suspension

:17:04. > :17:11.working so she does not have it locked out completely. That is Alice

:17:12. > :17:16.Barnes, or ranked 309 in the UCI ranking. It shows the scope of

:17:17. > :17:24.ranking we have with Catharine Pendrel who is 17th, and one of the

:17:25. > :17:30.leading riders in the world. Alice Barnes is going well. She seems to

:17:31. > :17:38.have pulled away from Annie Last, her team-mate. The English riders

:17:39. > :17:43.are no longer together. One minute and 18 seconds is the difference

:17:44. > :17:50.between Pendrel and Batty. Every time that is increasing for the

:17:51. > :17:56.Canadian. Alice Barnes, the younger sister of Hannah Barnes, a fantastic

:17:57. > :18:02.road rider. Alice Barnes in fourth position. She is having a fantastic

:18:03. > :18:23.race. She comes from a strong cycling family. Scotland's Lee

:18:24. > :18:33.Craigie is still holding onto six. We just saw Mary Mburu, the Kenyan,

:18:34. > :18:41.no longer involved in the race. Rebecca Henderson has taken the lead

:18:42. > :18:44.from Batty. Henderson taking up a second spot and a slight gap is

:18:45. > :18:52.opening up, the biggest we have seen. It looks like Rebecca

:18:53. > :18:56.Henderson was waiting for the section she likes to put pressure on

:18:57. > :19:02.Batty. That will lose her seconds, Batty. She will have to put a lot of

:19:03. > :19:07.effort to pull back Rebecca Henderson, but that looks like the

:19:08. > :19:12.tactic of Henderson, close on the wheel of Emily Batty and then she

:19:13. > :19:23.got into the section she likes and took the lead. That section, there

:19:24. > :19:28.is a lot of loose earth on top of the extremely steep climb. And there

:19:29. > :19:35.is a steep climb in the Brig O'Doom. Batty can not afford any more

:19:36. > :19:40.mistakes. That is a steep section and a few riders put their foot

:19:41. > :19:44.down. This is when it can go wrong. She was so in her rhythm in the

:19:45. > :19:51.front, but when Henderson moved in front, it put pressure on. She had

:19:52. > :19:57.to get off the bike, which means she has to work so hard to get back to

:19:58. > :20:05.the wheel, producing lactic acid. You hope it is a technical error and

:20:06. > :20:11.not her legs tiring. It looked like panic. She was comfortable on the

:20:12. > :20:15.front, she was riding in rhythm, but when Rebecca Henderson went past and

:20:16. > :20:19.put the pressure on, I do not know whether she got nervous, the extra

:20:20. > :20:26.speed was difficult, but a couple of things going wrong. This is Pendrel,

:20:27. > :20:34.the leader. Giving her hands a break on the outside of the handlebars. It

:20:35. > :20:37.is not a particularly steep gradient, but it is a long and

:20:38. > :20:46.drawn-out climb to the finishing straight. Pendrel will want the

:20:47. > :20:52.victory. She was disappointed after the Olympics in 2012, when she

:20:53. > :20:58.finished ninth. It sounds like a good results, but she was very

:20:59. > :21:03.disappointed at the Olympic Games. This is the battle for second and

:21:04. > :21:12.third. Pendrel is increasing the lead. She looks in great shape. 51

:21:13. > :21:23.kilograms, five tall, Pendrel, but no lack of power as she increases

:21:24. > :21:26.the gap. Alice Barnes, the 19-year-old English rider, she has

:21:27. > :21:31.work to do to get on the podium. It probably will not happen, but if she

:21:32. > :21:39.could finish in the top five, it would be terrific. It would be a

:21:40. > :21:45.fantastic results. Batty taking the position Henderson had. She made her

:21:46. > :21:51.way back after a few mistakes. It will be interesting to see if she

:21:52. > :21:58.will be comfortable in second. They ride on the same professional

:21:59. > :22:03.mountain bike team. There will be some ribbing, whoever claims the

:22:04. > :22:05.silver medal. This will be some fight between the two club

:22:06. > :22:09.team-mates, but on fight between the two club

:22:10. > :22:14.today, the Canadian and Australian. fight between the two club

:22:15. > :22:19.Henderson and Batty. The Australian had a go at trying to shake off

:22:20. > :22:24.Batty. Batty had her feet down on the sharp climbs, but credit to her,

:22:25. > :22:32.she has hung in there with Henderson. The rider just trying to

:22:33. > :22:38.take the bottle, but it slipped from her hands. It is possible when they

:22:39. > :22:40.get to this level, they are feeding from a different

:22:41. > :22:45.get to this level, they are feeding World Cups, when they have their own

:22:46. > :22:50.staff. They come to a Commonwealth Games and they get the nation staff.

:22:51. > :22:55.They might not have had the chance to practice taking the bottle, which

:22:56. > :23:02.can have a huge effect. If she misses a bottle now, she cannot feed

:23:03. > :23:13.until approximately 1718 minutes later. She does have a significant

:23:14. > :23:18.lead. One minute and 26 seconds, Pendrel ahead of Henderson and

:23:19. > :23:24.Batty. That is quite a lead, given the quality of the riders in second

:23:25. > :23:28.and third. A big gap until fourth and fifth place. Alice Barnes has

:23:29. > :23:31.opened up the gap from her more and fifth place. Alice Barnes has

:23:32. > :23:39.opened up the gap from experienced team-mate, Annie Last. The top five

:23:40. > :23:45.dominated by England, Canada, and Australia. Lee Craigie, the local

:23:46. > :23:52.rider, in sixth place for Scotland. 35 years of age. Warning Glasgow.

:23:53. > :23:57.She extended her career to take part in these championships. She has been

:23:58. > :24:09.on the podium in the last three British Championships. Karen Hanlen,

:24:10. > :24:22.despite falls, is still in eighth place for New Zealand. Here she is,

:24:23. > :24:30.Catharine Pendrel. On the Double Dare. Able to take things easily.

:24:31. > :24:40.She is a phenomenal athlete. In the year of 2011, when she won the world

:24:41. > :24:44.mountain bike championships, she won gold in two other Championships. She

:24:45. > :24:48.has a gold in two other Championships. She

:24:49. > :24:55.sociology from the University of the Tory, BC. She wants to pursue

:24:56. > :25:02.physical therapy or sports psychology after her career, so she

:25:03. > :25:08.is an accomplished woman. The term all-rounder is certainly significant

:25:09. > :25:12.for Catharine Pendrel, who is charging her way towards the gold

:25:13. > :25:17.medal in the Commonwealth Games. It looks like she will maintain her

:25:18. > :25:19.perfect record for women's cross-country mountain bikers in the

:25:20. > :25:29.Commonwealth Games. This is the top eight. Karen Hanlen and Kate Fluker

:25:30. > :25:38.got caught up when Karen Hanlen came off. This is where the excitement

:25:39. > :25:44.could happen at the end of lap six. The battle for silver between

:25:45. > :25:47.Henderson and Batty will stop how Rebecca Henderson would love to

:25:48. > :25:55.break up the potential gold and silver for the Canadians. It would

:25:56. > :26:00.make a huge difference to Henderson and Emily Batty, it is so

:26:01. > :26:04.prestigious, the Commonwealth Games silver medal. Henderson crossed over

:26:05. > :26:09.from right-to-left to get in front. She knows interrupting the line of

:26:10. > :26:13.Emily Batty gives her the advantage. It will be interesting to know what

:26:14. > :26:20.goes through their minds when they are team-mates, travelling together

:26:21. > :26:28.all season, and then battling it out at the Commonwealth Games. Alice

:26:29. > :26:34.Barnes, who is sticking in their, you never know, if there is an error

:26:35. > :26:38.upfront, a child is perhaps the 90-year-old to break into the

:26:39. > :26:48.Canadian and Australian party. -- 19-year-old. It is not raining yet,

:26:49. > :26:51.but it is threatening. The skies are dark and grey. It will

:26:52. > :26:55.but it is threatening. The skies are course significantly, bearing in

:26:56. > :27:09.mind the men's race is also to come after 2pm will -- 2pm. It will be a

:27:10. > :27:13.phenomenal story if she pulls this off after breaking her collarbone.

:27:14. > :27:20.Only those who have broken their collarbone knows the -- neighbour

:27:21. > :27:27.challenges that come with that. As an athlete, you cannot do anything

:27:28. > :27:31.for yourself with the broken collarbone, but there is the mental

:27:32. > :27:37.fear about getting back on the bike. She took it easy at first, perhaps

:27:38. > :27:43.to avoid any mishaps. No doubt she would be scared of falling on that

:27:44. > :27:47.shoulder again. I spoke to someone who said you are not a proper

:27:48. > :27:53.cyclist unless you have had a broken collarbone. I have had one. I

:27:54. > :27:59.qualified, I have been a real cyclist! I bet a number of athletes

:28:00. > :28:06.in this competition have broken mayors. Taking the outside line, no

:28:07. > :28:14.chances. It is clever from Pendrel. She knows she has an over 90 seconds

:28:15. > :28:21.lead from Henderson and Batty, the two closest to her. It is a case of

:28:22. > :28:25.holding concentration. There has been a minor mishap, through the

:28:26. > :28:32.Broken Biscuits, when she almost got into trouble. Significant clique,

:28:33. > :28:37.the dropped water bottle, you wonder what that will take out of her. It

:28:38. > :28:44.is a long way to travel without water. It could have a physical and

:28:45. > :28:49.mental effect. It has been hot this past week and the athletes have had

:28:50. > :28:56.to keep their hydration high. It has been extremely hot. It is cooler

:28:57. > :29:06.today than yesterday. We were sweating buckets walking around the

:29:07. > :29:07.course yesterday. I wore my shorts today and wish I had gone for

:29:08. > :29:12.trousers! course yesterday. I wore my shorts

:29:13. > :29:19.today and wish The atmosphere is building. An amazing amount of

:29:20. > :29:23.spectators here. Henderson and Batty still together. Henderson is unable

:29:24. > :29:29.to shake off Batty, who has recovered from being off the back in

:29:30. > :29:34.terms of having a foot down in consecutive climbs, particularly

:29:35. > :29:42.through the Brig O'Doom and another section. It will be interesting to

:29:43. > :29:47.see how she copes with that again. In the mind of Henderson, if she had

:29:48. > :29:55.noticed that, maybe she can take advantage and put her foot down.

:29:56. > :30:07.Rebecca Henderson, aged 22. Emily Batty is 26 years of age. Some bad

:30:08. > :30:13.weather is rolling in. This is down the Braveheart. We are beginning to

:30:14. > :30:19.feel spots of rain. Pendrel will not want that. There is a lot of slate

:30:20. > :30:28.and rock on this section. If you caught it in the wet, it could slip

:30:29. > :30:30.the wheels out from under you. Now that was interesting, because that

:30:31. > :30:36.was the inside line on the really technical Queen Mary 's trot from

:30:37. > :30:45.the young English rider, Barnes. -- Queen Mary 's drop. It shows the

:30:46. > :30:49.nation wants to close that gap to the bronze medal. If she can do that

:30:50. > :31:00.she will also be in contention for the silver. The gaps in significant,

:31:01. > :31:04.but if they take a conservative approach there are places through

:31:05. > :31:10.these segments, if Barnes is technical but brave. There are

:31:11. > :31:14.opportunities to close that gap on the podium positions.

:31:15. > :31:18.opportunities to close that gap on Here's the leader, Pendrel, who has

:31:19. > :31:32.pretty much lead from about half way round the first lap. She appeared at

:31:33. > :31:35.the front and really did accelerate away from the rest of them. This is

:31:36. > :31:37.Broken Biscuits. You can see that bike shifting around on the rocks. A

:31:38. > :31:41.foot down again. A quick recovery, or it is the first time we have seen

:31:42. > :31:43.her put her foot down. It shows she is quite calm. It is when you are

:31:44. > :31:52.under pressure that you make those mistakes and you can't get going

:31:53. > :32:00.again. If you get the wrong line through the Broken Biscuits, it can

:32:01. > :32:01.throw you all over the place. It is pretty difficult to find that at

:32:02. > :32:20.pace. She might get a chance to get

:32:21. > :32:28.another feed through this section. Here we see... What has happened

:32:29. > :32:31.here? She just slipped off one of those rocks. We did say there were a

:32:32. > :32:36.few drops of rain out there. If there has been a bit of a spit of

:32:37. > :32:44.rain, those large rocks get quite slippery. The front wheel came round

:32:45. > :32:46.at a bit of an angle as well. It is amazing to think much effort they

:32:47. > :32:49.have put into picking amazing to think much effort they

:32:50. > :32:53.through these sections. If you get the first little bit wrong, it can

:32:54. > :32:58.throw you off the next ten to 15 metres. They have been out there

:32:59. > :33:01.over an hour now, the riders, on this testing course. It is a figure

:33:02. > :33:08.of eight design, just about everything you come across in

:33:09. > :33:11.mountain biking, twisting past hairpin bends, plenty of tree roots

:33:12. > :33:22.out there as well, some awkward sense, 20 of climbing, and steep,

:33:23. > :33:27.sharp climbs as well. She has got away a bit here from Batty. We are

:33:28. > :33:35.not too far away from the section where Batty struggled in the last

:33:36. > :33:39.lap. That is right. We saw Beth Henderson was sitting very close to

:33:40. > :33:47.the wheel when she was behind Emily Batty in the first couple of laps.

:33:48. > :33:53.Back to the vision of Alice Barnes and the English team. Looks very

:33:54. > :33:58.similar to the road rider Anna Barnes, her older sister. Huge

:33:59. > :34:02.similar to the road rider Anna talent in this family. Still very

:34:03. > 0:11:46young.
