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

Good morning. Welcome to day six of the Commonwealth Games. It has been

a little bit cold the Commonwealth Games. It has been

so we have been a bit Fairweather and have come into this comfortable

and cosy tonight at the games are set where Clare Balding and Mark

Chapman present their show normally in the evening. It is very nice to

be in here. I think we in the evening. It is very nice to

this the day at the games because we have so much great sport coming up

for you. 31 gold medals up for grabs. Yesterday some of the 5000

athletes who have descended grabs. Yesterday some of the 5000

It is all over, Scotland have won dreams.

It is all over, Scotland have won the gold in the men's pairs. Our

wonderful gold medal for England. the gold in the men's pairs. Our

wonderful swim, Sophie Taylor wins gold for England.

Let's take a look at situation in the medals table.

Australia leading the way. And then come England. The men competing a

clean sweep in the singles squash. Scotland has surpassed its record

the Commonwealth Games gold medals after the 11 medals at one in

Melbourne. Meanwhile, Jazz Carlin became the first Welsh woman to win

gold in the Paul for 40 years and Northern Ireland claimed there first

silver of the games. As we said, so much sport which means 31 goals of

the grabs today and yesterday there were incredible scenes on the greens

at the lawn bowls as medals were being one and if bowls is your thing

you can see that online right now. And the shots of an entirely

different nature, the 15 metre riflemen 's unification is underway,

one of the many options available on the website. And over on BBC One

right now we are previewing the morning 's action and that will

start with England against Trinidad in the netball. So much sport but we

have also got an awful lot coming up before lunch, it would be great if

you would stay with us here. We have hockey first, it is a great match

for you, massive match in fact for the England man, taking on New

Zealand, who will be equally desperate to top the group. That is

at Glasgow Green, we will be there shortly. Swimming comes to a close

today, we have Chad le Clos and Jazz Carlin in action. And more cycling

in the programme, the ladies mountain bike final. But first,

let's head over to the National hockey centre at Glasgow Green where

England's men are taking on New Zealand with both teams expected to

progress, the winners are likely to avoid the favourites, Australia.

progress, the winners are likely to That is an incentive if anybody

needed any more. COMMENTATOR: Jackson has it, first

time on his stick. Ashley Jackson, number seven for England, one of the

most fluent runners of the ball. Tarrant comes through with New

Zealand over halfway, Burrows onto Simon Child, the older of the

brothers. The good early start from both

teams, they have both been probing into the opposition 's 25. Simon

Child putting pressure on the England defence early on. But very

early days, both teams trying to get touches of the ball, build-up play.

Keep possession. They will be really up for this game and they will be

quite anxious about the results today, as you said. The winners of

this group game very likely to head the

Jackson hovering. Catlin strong over the ball, little scanner head.

Surrounded by two Black Sticks shirts, New Zealand shirts. Lewers

moving the ball across. Dixon now, shot into the circle. You can see

the structure already. Moving the ball down the sides, when it is

congested, moving it back out and down the other side. Dixon firing

the ball in looking for Brockton. He was a bit off target on that

occasion. -- Brogdon. Dixon over the top trying to find territory, superb

take inside the attacking circle. Rocked on. They will get the first

corner. Alastair Brogdon for England. It is a good move by

England, Dixon finding Brogdon, he hit Couzins on the foot. Lewers from

the baseline, Jackson is number seven, he is at the top. WHISTLE

They will lose a manner, New Zealand, breaking from the baseline.

-- lose a run-off. This will reduce the defensive line, just three field

players and the goalkeeper. McAleese breaking off the back line.

Jackson, Mantell and Catlin. Wonderful save from Manchester.

Devon Manchester, Tarrant as well getting the deflection. That is a

strong statement by the goalkeeper. Still in play, sustained pressure

coming from England. Jackson has scored four drag flicks against

Malaysia, a couple of days ago. He would have been in very confident

form, that is a very good start for Devon Manchester. And the other

thing is he is not the tallest goalkeeper. Six inches difference

between him and Pinner, he can get down to the ground easier than

Penaia. A shot on the ground is maybe not the best option against a

small goalie. Small is the wrong word. Agile. Agile. Martin has it

for England on the left flank, hard-working. Just cannot drag out

in. Forcing pressure on New Zealand. Andy Hayward. The big red, they call

him, the big man back Andy Hayward. The big red, they call

driving through midfield. England putting

driving through midfield. England this New Zealand defence, looking

for those overheads, which takes the midfield out of the game altogether.

You can press highly in midfield and all of a sudden the overhead goes

behind and you can turn and run. It is another way of getting through

the midfield area. Middleton. What a workhorse, Barry

Middleton, so much to admire. Up and over it goes. Burrows that time

This is a young man that has got a lot of skill, Simon Child. Scored a

pressure on the ball carrier. Simon Child is somebody England's do not

was hovering but decided against it. First time. Phil Burrows. Clever

skill, but talking to, notice the water coming off the pitch at the

moment, it slows the game down quite a lot. When the ball goes across the

ground it is quite slow. England in the attacking circle, and out in

front and of no stick from the cross. Phil Roper, bursting down the

right, gets round the back and he is looking back. Nobody at the top of

the deed. Both England players in the same line, going for the

goalkeeper. -- the top of the D. Couzins, the attempt was there.

goalkeeper. -- the top of the D. Inglis, trying to get a touch on to

his team-mate. Fast, skilful hockey. Nick Haig has

it now for the Black sticks. Michael Hoare to Ollie Willars. That

is not what you want to do. They have made them work for that. Strong

drive, out on the right, one past, looking for entry into the circle

but cannot get it because Jackson is back for England. Iain Lewers,

bringing the ball forward. A good hustle back by Hugo Inglis, for New

Zealand. Still working hard in the midfield.

A bit of a testy exchange. Child, trying to sweep past Middleton, the

kingpin of the England team have it. -- has it.

That is off a New Zealand stick. Dangerous.

Excellent vision, across, and again, another ball, straying across the

face of the goal. Another good cross by Simon Mantell. Obviously a

strategy England have looked at, to crash the ball in front of the

keeper but neither of the England players dived for it. I would expect

to be somebody -- there to be somebody on the reverse stick,

dining for it. -- diving for it. They can certainly inject pace when

it gets into the attacking third. They are certainly keeping the width

but they could not quite keep it in the field of play that time. New

Zealand, certainly not up in the possession stakes. You would have to

go 70-30, England, the amount of time on the ball. It shows that both

teams have marshalled in the middle part of the pitch. They are making

each other play wide balls down the line. That is the only space

available. They are trying so hard to get it right on the edge, they

keep on going off the side of the pitch. England continued to deny New

Zealand possession. This time, drag town, in the air. -- dragged down.

Hugo Inglis, appended. -- up ended. Pressure coming on the receiver,

Couzins. Simon Mantell, again, heaping

pressure on the Kiwis. No, it was an excellent touch finder, right down

on the line by the corner flag. New Zealand, backing off. They had the

opportunity to close down but they decided to come three quarters

court. They don't want England to get behind this front cord and, at

all. Now, the speed of Catlin, again. He had three New Zealanders

Again, the last pass is just not trying to catch up with him.

Again, the last pass is just not going to stick for England at this

stage. It is very tight. It is not nervy but they are very edgy. Cagey.

Yes, that is a better word. It is a bit like a chess match, just playing

the ball around, trying to find a weakness, probing. Edible touch

forward, clever from Hilton. -- a little touch forward. Marcus Child

puts it through but onto an England stick. Still has the ball. Hilton,

but he runs out of room. It is difficult, there. England were

presenting three defenders, and Hilton, in trying to get through,

ended up going over the back line. McAleese, putting pressure on and

wins the ball for New Zealand. He surges forward, and Martin is

breathing down his neck. Across, and again, no one on the left flank. It

comes off a New Zealand stick, so England get the free yet. -- free

hit. Now New Zealand are pressing high. But look at the height and

distance of that. Two bounces, and all the way down to the other end.

pressing players. Yes, getting through congestion, into free space.

Now, England down the left channels. Clever little jink. Henry Weir and

Simon Mantell. Catlin is playing a key part in this

game early on. A chance and a goal! No, what a wonderful save by

McAleese, for New Zealand, stick tackle on Dixon. Great little move

by England, Brogden linking up with Dixon, who had a quick snapshot, but

McAleese just got his stick on it in time. Brave defending. It is 50-50

as to whether you try with your stick. You don't want to make

contact with the attacker's and in the old days, that would not

be allowed, tackling from and in the old days, that would not

much better. Innovative skill, allowing some clever work between

gets in the danger area, you can stop. If you stop with the ball, you

are still in the D. Just under 15 minutes to play in the

first spell. Two spells of 35 minutes in pool B action. England

with a ranking of number two in the Commonwealth Games, behind

Australia, and New Zealand at number three. The scoreline is indicative

of the closeness as well. Inglis. A drive into there, but

easily mopped up by the English defence.

Two of the Mauritz parents Blacksticks players, Burrows and

McAleese. -- more experienced. Still little mistakes, there, and this is

a game about cutting down the little errors. It is what you spoke about

before, the channels. They are being stretched out wide. That shows you

how tight the game is. In 22 minutes, we have had two shots on

goal. Martin down the left flank. What can he find? Only the stick of

the New Zealand captain, Couzins. Jackson, looking for an entry and

gets a little stick check. Jackson just glides with the ball.

Efficient, England, certainly, that is a word you could use. They are

efficient in the opening 23 minutes of this first match between these

two teams in pool B. Again, and other searching ball, pinched. Some

great work and now Jackson has the ball, searching for the goal. A shot

at goal and it goes wide! David Condon. A lovely little steel by

Brogden, finding Jackson, who gets David Condon running across the line

and he fires back to the far corner. Not far away. Not many openings for

either team. England, certainly having the better of the

opportunities. They have had a penalty corner. That was saved by

the New Zealand keeper. They have had a couple of other shots on goal.

And George Pinner, for England remains a spectator in the goal.

Although certainly, you can hear him calling. Yes, having a little

chunter at the umpire because he did not agree with the decision. But he

was leaning against the poster minute ago, as though he was in a

bar. A strategic little chess game is

being played A strategic little chess game is

between the two sides. England have the better of it, in terms of

possession. Jackson, looking for the little,

soft hands. Looking to conjure something,

Middleton and Jackson. Across to the right. And the drive

into the circle, but a New Zealand stick on it, and up and over

halfway, into the gap. Well picked off by Arun Panchia.

Some very deft skills, Arun Panchia for New Zealand. Over halfway again.

Edwards, looking to edges way towards the circle. -- edge his way.

Using his leg as a body shield. Neither team taking huge risks at

the moment. It comes down to looking at the next phase of the tournament.

It is about winning the group because this game could be the route

to the final for both of these teams, or the easier route to the

final. It means avoiding Australia. That is what today is about.

Absolutely. Working hard, running off the ball,

running hard, both teams. There is that element, you are exactly

right, of just holding a little bit back. Andy Hayward, the big man,

taking the ball down the flank and driving it into the circle. Again,

we have seen that from New Zealand and a couple down the other end

Just grabbing the stick. He pulls so hard. That stick actually hit

Jackson on the way through. It could be dangerous. The circles will be

both contested. Play continues, fast pass from Middleton, he keeps the

ball in. Brogdon. We have seen the intensity ramp up in the last couple

of minutes Child up and over. Probably lucky to escape. That was

the big whistle. Under seven minutes left, the war of attrition

continues. Brogdon Catlin has been clever in the opening stages,

injecting himself into the midfield, creating a couple of chances.

Mopping up well, New Zealand, absorbing the pressure that

Jackson. Jackson again. Little deft pass into

the circle, chance for England but Manchester's left foot is sure. Weir

got down the back for England and it was not a particularly good pass

into the body of Manchester. Quite an easy one to deal with. I notice a

lot of the fouls are happening midfield where the players,

defenders, just stopping the play, giving away the foul. That is why it

is closing up. giving away the foul. That is why it

example. Of what Sean Kerly was giving away the foul. That is why it

saying. The defences are getting back. Now another set play, which is

more difficult. Teams looking to get on the breakaway. Jackson into the

circle, and across the face. Into the circle and it will be a

penalty corner, coming off burrows. That is a mistake, an forced error.

There is what is going to cost this game. Uncharacteristic error from

burrows. I was playing advantage. 40 seconds have gone for New Zealand

to get ready. Jackson and the goal and did he get a touch on it? Yes,

he did, Devon Manchester. Critical time of the game. Under

three minutes in the first spell. That well oiled machine not working

quite so well today. Great touch from Manchester, stick side.

The pressure pays off for England. Turnover time. Jackson has the ball.

Clever but Bradshaw comes out with it. Getting an England stick so New

Zealand keep possession. it. Getting an England stick so New

minutes to play in the first half. Tarrant. Burrows. Clever work. Adam

Dixon, very clever defending. Bob and over. It really asks the

question of the New Zealand skipper, he answers it. Jackson running, if

there is a mistake. Aerial skills on show today at a brilliant and

perchance? No it came off Hugo Inglis. You would be pleased with

that, seeing somebody diving. It was nice to see that he was a bit early,

he lay down on the ball. It is commitment. Less than a minute to

play. England with the chants and New Zealand with the chance in the

last three minutes. That's back in and with

-- England with the chance. Martin catches the ball behind his feet.

Middleton. He finds plenty of room on the right. Jackson cannot drag it

in. Being well marked. A good little moved by England but an

uncharacteristic error by Ashley Jackson. Not quite getting his stick

on it, but nice transfer across. McAleese. HOOTER

There is the hooter for half-time. It has been very interesting,

absorbing. Jackson has been tidy, couple of opportunities at penalty

corner time and certainly for 30 of the 35 minutes England have looked

slightly better than New Zealand. Devon Manchester has been

magnificent but it is all tied up in the first half.

STUDIO: No goals so far but plenty more action to come and we will

bring you that in the moment. I am delighted to say that Gail Emms

joins us, you must have a very big medals cabinet, all of the colours

from the Commonwealth Games, silver from the Olympics, world champion

and here you are talking about badminton at the Common Wealth

games. I love the Commonwealth Games, it was my first ever

multisport event. Almost like a special place in my heart. I did not

do as well as expected but I learned so much. That is why I think the

games are so important for up and coming athletes. Looking around you

are a bit like a rabbit in the headlights, someone famous over

there, so many people. I learned so much from Manchester to take on to

the Olympics. I am pleased to be here because it takes me back and I

realise how old I am actually! I used to be an up-and-coming athlete.

It is just a pleasure. Some fantastic entertainment as always in

the badminton. It did not go England is way against Malaysia yesterday.

They are the number one seeds, badminton is the national sport in

Malaysia, they had a great start, Chris and Gabby Adcock in the mixed

doubles played really well. They were expected to win, Gabby Adcock

is, but unfortunately we lost the ladies singles men's doubles, and

the men's singles, so close, it was 3-1 in the end. Malaysia were the

number one seeds, they delivered. It is the national sport out there.

20,000 people watching badminton regularly. For us to compete, I

think they will be happy with silver. They are a young team. Of

course they will be disappointed slightly, but for them it is a

stepping stone. They looked really good as a team, supporting each

other really well. It is interesting, that is the strange

thing about the Commonwealth Games, some people see it as a lesser

tournament and for example the Olympics, with the Americans and

Chinese not there but in some sports it is just as competitive, that is

true in badminton. All of the leading nations are there.

Especially in the later stages, the team semifinals and finals have

shown incredible quality. I was sitting next to some people who had

not been to about badminton match and they were just, " oh my

goodness, this is incredible". The physicality and speed. The shuttle

flies over 200 mph, people do not appreciate that all the time. It is

great chance for minority sports to say, hello, we are here. It is not

about athletics. A lot of those players in the team, will not get to

an Olympic Games. This is their Olympic Games. It means so much for

them. I have been reading blogs about man beaten, the shuttlecock

has 16 overlapping goose feathers. And they are real goose feathers.

All from the left wing. I know that. We need say no more. Thank you for

your company, Gail. We can move on to the mountain biking, Haddington

over the Cathkin Braes. -- heading over. Jill Douglas is there, we have

had some incremental weather, would visit like their question mark --

inclement. It is blowing a bit of a hoolie, dizzy bows popping up

everywhere. -- gazebos. Mountain biking is massive in Scotland, these

trails built especially for the Commonwealth Games. Some beautiful

scenery, really showing off this part of the world. Couple of big

features to look out for on this circuit, 5.5 km, the men go around

seven times, the win in six times. Look out for double Dare, the steep

descent into Castlemilk. Two options, very steep descent, the

other one is Braveheart. A lot of teams think that will be decided on

the steep climb of Braveheart. Some of the names on the course were

named by local primary school children, who should we be looking

out for this morning? If we look at the home nations, Liam Killeen won

the gold medal in Melbourne, there was no mountain biking in Delhi but

back in Melbourne, Liam Killeen of England won that race. He has been a

late call-up to this England team but apparently is in great form. One

thing that stood out in Melbourne were the kangaroos, they might been

wallabies, in all honesty, crossing the course. Not sure what the

wildlife here at Cathkin Braes will be. Who knows? Liam Killeen back in

the team. From the Scottish perspective, the frog, Craig

Ferguson, the reigning British champion. He has won on this course

before. They are powerhouses are the Canadians and New Zealanders as

well. In the women's race, Annie Last broker ankle in the livings,

has only raced once this year but I'm told she has great legs and is

looking good and Lee Craigie of Scotland, won the British nationals

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

response from the 10,000 people on the hillsides. We look forward to

joining you later, Jill, now we can head to Tollcross, the last day of

swimming. We have been enjoying the swimming almost as much as the

conversation at the side of the summing poll, we can join Helen

Skelton and her band of prestigious and glamorous guests, Mark Foster

and Becky Adlington. You're too kind, we have added to the team as

well, Clyde is here as well, the end of swimming, we feel like it is the

end term, Sharon has contributed to the picnic table. -- Sharron. One of

our cameraman's wife, not one of his wives, one cameraman with one wife,

just to clarify. Jazz Carlin did well as that, can she do the

Adlington? I don't see why not, breaks when not, breaks when last

night, little bit slower than expected. Lauren Boyle who got the

silver medal last night at the beach Jazz Carlin over the 200 metres.

That shows she has a bit more speed, in the sprint. This is last night.

Jazz Carlin came back so strong. You would think that over 400 metres,

she can take Lauren on the back 50. But Lauren has got a bit of speed, a

bit in the tank. It will probably be a closer race. Hannah Miley is going

for her seventh event of the accommodation, and Aimee Willmott

and lots of other big names. That was a phenomenal race in terms of

the way she pulled away from Lauren Boyle in the last 50 metres and took

two seconds off her. It shows she was holding a reefing back. Jazz

Carlin has started swimming the 800 freestyle, like the number one in

the world and the world record holder so she has a lot more to

come. Last night was about winning the race. She can go a lot lower.

Today could shape up to be a great day for Wales. Daniel Wallace, you

grabbed a word with him by the side of the pool, how is he feeling? I

had a Twitter conversation with him a couple of months ago when he did

well in America. He has been training in the same setup as Ryan

Lochte. It has brought dividends. He was looking forward to it. I said to

him that you do these competitions, it is one of those things as an

athlete, and you appreciate it as the -- and you don't. I said he had

to pinch himself when he came at it, because afterwards, you wish you

could go back and do it again. You probably don't but I do. I did one

length and you did 16. Enjoy the moments, the home crowd, the buzz is

amazing. This won't happen again in his lifetime. Is that why Hannah

Miley is doing some events? She's not going to do them at the World

Championships and the Olympics. She likes to raise. It is her tradition.

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

pulled out of events if it was not going to plan but she is swimming so

well. Last night, she did a personal best by five seconds. The swimming

is to come shortly but let's go back to the hockey, New Zealand against

England. It is the second half. COMMENTATOR: The signal from the

technical bench, and they are off and up and over from McAleese.

Child, entering the danger area for the receiver. Dixon, and again, the

overhead being employed once again. And being consistent. I think he

made a mistake, though. He got there first. David Condon, that is.

And he is not afraid to admit it, either, which is great. Yes, it is a

difficult rule for all of us. A good pass from Jackson into the circle.

They are just debating the airball, in the air. When there are two guys

underneath it, and it looked like it two guys, it is the side that puts

the ball in the air that gets penalised. Let's say you throw an

aerial up and you're forward is obviously in space but get closed

down by a defender, it goes to the side who got there first.

England, out on the right defensive flank. What can they set up now with

Dixon? He is dispossessed by Burrows and he has Child with him. Can he

get the shot away, Phil Burrows? A clever flick and a shot at golfer

New Zealand, surely? George Penna does well in the goal. Strongly

coming through onto the ball. Great bit of skill. But the best bid for

me was when Phil Burrows stole the ball in midfield. -- best bit. That

is the kind of mistake he will be looking to generate, the kind of

pressure they will be putting on each other. Child could not get

enough space to get the shot away. Exactly, this is Arun Panchia.

Again, just watched over the backline by the deep England

defenders. Yes, having a look at that, Phil Burrows takes people from

Dixon and then it is two against two. Lovely skill by Child, but the

image defenders were not giving him enough space to get the shot away

and eventually George Pinner clears. Jackson nearly finding Catlin this

time. They are using the overhead more than the traditional hit along

the pitch so far in the opening stages of the second half. That is

an indication they are finding it hard to get the ball through on the

ground because the space is so tight. There is more room behind.

Keeping out of the dangerous, defensive third, and opting, if they

are going to make a mistake on attack, they want to be in the

attacking third. Fox off-loading. Nip and tuck in this game

continuing. Fox driving into the circle, hoping

for a little nip onto Roper's stick but he does not get it. That is just

a clearance to relieve pressure. But there are little individual duels

going on all over the pitch. It seems that both teams get the ball

in high and then they have a one-on-one with the defender, they

get beaten, it goes down the other end and then New Zealand have a

one-on-one with being dished events. It is so tight at the moment. Both

sides cancelling each other out. Promising drive down the left flank,

for England. Blackshirt surrounding the ball. -- black shirts.

Child beats the first player and off-loads a shot, speculated from

Arun Panchia. -- speculative. They are finding space, and Child is

doing some great work at the moment. But it is difficult to hit the ball

back across your body like that. Fox expertly bringing the ball down. And

equally well read by Bradley Shaw. It is such a gift to be able to

distribute the ball with the right speed and accuracy, pace. Oh,

penalty corner for New Zealand, their first of the match. We have

not had too many forays down there. It looks like Hilton gets down the

back. This is a rare error by Michael Hall. And then Iain Lewers

gets it on his foot. Great work by Hilton, driving at two England

defenders. He gets it on to Iain Lewers' foot. This could be the

chance New Zealand have been waiting for, their first penalty corner.

Marcus Child will for, their first penalty corner.

ready. Andy Hayward and Nick Haig. Oh, wonderful save!

ready. Andy Hayward and Nick Haig. from the skipper. Well, that is Dan

Fox, coming out down the line, running out for England, on the

ground still but Andy Hayward gets a good strike in. Barry Middleton

watching. What a save. That was moving. He stood up and watched it

all the way on the ground still but Andy Hayward gets

all the way on the ground still but Barry Middleton watching. What a

save. That was moving. He stood up and watched it all the way onto his

stick, never took is I'll the ball. That is putting yourself on the

line, the England captain. -- never took his eyes off the ball.

I don't think the players quite knew who it was going to go to.

It demands such a keen eye, quick reflexes and reactions.

That is a bit of a waste. I think that when you try to do the back and

shot from the left-hand that when you try to do the back and

that, you have two deliver it that when you try to do the back and

off the Duke. -- off the hook. So, royalty have arrived again,

Prince Edward, there, with Lady Louise, who loves her

apparently. She was keen to come back. She has been here for a couple

of other days as well. It is back. She has been here for a couple

terrific to see the Royals out back. She has been here for a couple

them, enjoying the sport yesterday, the Duke and Duchess of the Prince

Harry, laughing and joking in the stands. It was really good to see.

Harry, laughing and joking in the -- the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

and Prince Harry. They are the friendly games out of the arena but

it is very intense on the pitch in this pool match between England and

New Zealand. England feel they were robbed. Iain Lewers, really, is

looking for a robbed. Iain Lewers, really, is

should have had one in robbed. Iain Lewers, really, is

is a dangerous game, to be looking at the umpires, but a good tackle,

is a dangerous game, to be looking eventually forcing the free hit, and

relieving pressure. The expert one-two passing,

accurate, keeping possession for England. Middleton, finding Martin.

Just moving the ball around, keeping the players moving. A tangle of

players, that is how close it is. Catlin delivers off. Catching a New

Zealand foot. Trying to inject some are meant into the game. Yes, it is

about tempo now, attacking at pace, before the opportunity closes down.

But once you go back like this, you have two set again and it is much

more difficult to get the ball through. -- have to set. Edwards

coming through with a great intercept. Still has the ball, into

the attacking third for New Zealand and a great tackle for the captain,

and still, across the park on it goes. Can Marcus Child keep the ball

in? He does. He tries to jig it through but will not be successful.

The free hit is a ready taken by England. The crowd are urging on the

team in white and red. -- already taken. And again, McAleese is back

for New Zealand, to mop up. This time, the big man, Alex Shaw, out on

the left flank. He can only see white shirts ahead of him.

Burrows used to be a striker but now in the midfield and can still finish

and go through. Edwards does well to keep

possession. He has got two England defenders around him.

in the second half will stop Jackson trying to weave his magic. The tempo

has just gone up a notch. Beginning to start to attack a little bit

more. On the break out. Great ball through. Good movement at

the moment by New Zealand, rotating round out the back. Space is being

made and then when it is filled and they move across. Great ball into

the New Zealand's defence, still alive in the circle for them.

Roper. Martin. Snapshot into the circle. Out by Burroughs onto Marcus

Child. -- Phil Burrows. Good strong ball and expertly brought down by

the younger brother, Marcus. Phil Burrows, just on the line it is,

straight in. Long corner. Couzins, urgency from the team

wearing black. That will be dangerous. Interesting looking at

the amount of rotation the teams utilise, after a couple of days, by

comparison Canada 229 rotations, almost twice as many. I guess

conditions and once again New Zealand. 60 to 70 is pretty normal,

depends on the temperature. But these guys today are working so hard

they are using the rotations regularly. New Zealand expending a

lot of energy. Putting England under pressure, they have kept them pretty

quiet in the last ten minutes or so. 21 minutes left in the match.

Jackson keen just to make a bit of territorial advantage.

Roper again. New Zealand now have got to macro shots in the second

half? That does not tell the story. They have made quite a lot of

incursions in each other's 25 that does not get recorded on those

stats. They have been so patient. England. Michael Hoare. The crowd

getting behind their team, Gleghorn fires it across. It was not on

target. Quite a nice little move. Rob a blue would have been better to

play that across the face of goal. Brogdon waiting for the cross. Not

always the best option. You cannot blame them for wanting to do

something different. The good teams are the team that get something when

they need to. Panchia into the circle and referral time. New

Zealand claiming England foot? They are claiming a push.

New Zealand asking for a stroke, that the player has been pushed.

This is a big decision. Was he pushed? There looked like an arm in

the back. You cannot see it there particularly.

Sean Kerly, you were saying? Did I say it was a push? Hard to say, the

forward was already say it was a push? Hard to say, the

momentum already. We do not have to make the decision, thankfully. The

video referral. It looks pretty like a push their, but are you confident

enough as an umpire watching this to say, penalty stroke? It is a big

call in the context of the match. Are you prepared to take that risk

upstairs? The New Zealanders firmly believe it. The umpires taking a

long look at this. Not sure. But you have to get it right. The average

time in the men's game from when they refer to getting the decision

coming back is 90 seconds. A little longer in the women's. Barry

Middleton already giving his version. They are watching it on the

screen as well. Peter, I have the decision. There is a push, by the

defender. Therefore, penalty stroke. Just confirming that, there is a

push by the defender? Yes. Penalty stroke. That is a big shout. Very

big call. Fantastic stroke. That is a big shout. Very

New Zealand. Phil Burrows stroke. That is a big shout. Very

sure when he went to the umpire, Peter Wright. They will have their

own referral, England. The decision has been made upstairs. Nothing you

can do about it now. I do not think you can refer a referral. This is

the decision that has been made from you can refer a referral. This is

up high. Phil Burrows has had so much experience for New Zealand.

up high. Phil Burrows has had so has been around the block. He has

hardly had to do anything for England, and now he has too try to

keep Andy Hayward, almost impossible to

keep Andy Hayward, almost impossible left. Hayward makes

keep Andy Hayward, almost impossible take the lead over England. Lots of

talk and the conclusion of the game over this but what will the reply

they? There has been nothing to separate the sides.

they? There has been nothing to meant to be an error that did it.

Perfect stroke, Hayward taking no risks, making it safe. Brogdon. Very

careful, up and over again. We have seen that aerial ball so much in

this match. Good reflexes. The goal-scorer having a rest. Very

coolly done. This should make it interesting, it means that England

have two come out and really play hard. Bradshaw. 17 minutes left in

the half, it has taken a video referral to separate the teams.

Stroke from New Zealand's Andy Hayward. Free hit to the defence.

New Zealand act knowledge that and turn over a couple of times each

team now. Through Brogdon on to the left flank. That is the little

tackle, get your feet in the way, breaking play down. Both sides

arguing that at the moment. The ball was just off the ground, hard to

pick up sometimes but McAleese finds Shay Neal on the right flank.

Couzins. The walled house, triangles, call them what you will,

stolen by McAleese. -- the wall pass. Keeping it out of the danger

midfield, they know there are world class in displays in their lurking.

Straight ball through to Shay Neal. Strapping on his shoulder.

And now the captain. Brogdon. The English bench calling for them to

push up. What of torque. The ball finding the New Zealand sticks more

regularly. New Zealand stepped up a little bit, they are looking much

more confident now. The shape of the team, stopping England getting the

ball out of defence is in, slowing play down whenever England get up

into the 25. They are looking sharp and businesslike. He has stolen the

ball. Gleghorne has one-on-one with the goalkeeper. And up and over it

goes. Manchester again, as he did in the first-half, makes an absolutely

superb save, opportunity for England is the first half, makes an

absolutely superb save, opportunity for England's to tie it up.

Gleghorne comes in. He goes wide, tries to log the goalkeeper but

Manchester, he was equal to it. -- lob. Heat of the moment. Decisions.

England into the attacking third. McAleese gets the free hit. The calm

and collected Shea McAleese. Has been very composed.

Clever, Panchia. Looking for the little clip. Manchester saving New

Zealand. There you go, one out of three for New Zealand, New Zealand

getting a better return in that danger area. Lewers. Jackson. Has

not had much room, or many opportunities today, such has been

the tightness of this fixture. And not put too a point on it, this

could decide whether you get an easy or difficult semifinal, easier

semifinal. He's ill and would take on the second placed team, Australia

would take on the second place in this group, probably the loser of

this game. They are stretching wide, as they did in the first half,

England. Exiting that ball right down. Right on the corner. Halfway

now. 13 minutes left in the match, New Zealand with a penalty stroke by

Andy Hayward to take the lead. England's Tempo does not look very

high. They need to inject some pace into the pitch, free hits, get

double moving forward. New Zealand are just trying to slow it down as

much as they can. -- get the ball moving forward. Shay Neal for New

Zealand. The backpass to Edwards does not match up. The crowd sense

and England opportunity. Ollie Willars with a clever little

pass up to Dixon. Roper, doing well and a shot at goal

and it is in! It is all tied up! What a movement! That is a fabulous

run, from Dixon, and Roper gets it in. And the crowd is roaring at the

National hockey Centre, delighted. Great by Phil Roper, nothing to work

with, a little bit of skill, taking a couple of swipes and Dixon really

watched the ball. It looks like a forehand smash in tennis. But great

skill. It was like a side, wasn't it? --

Adam Dixon, putting smiles by conning the shoelaces. Now Jackson.

-- back on English bases. He has the Blacksticks backpedalling. What a

change this game has taken. A goal apiece. The ball is put out

change this game has taken. A goal Tarrant. That has live and England.

The goal-scorer, Dixon, has got to be pleased with that. It was a

lethal finish, exactly what it had to be. Absolutely. So,

lethal finish, exactly what it had square one! LAUGHTER

Ten and a half minutes left in the match. Lovely skill down the back by

Roper. Dixon pummelling it into the roof of the net. He really got hold

of it and then some. When you look at these

who are fighting it out for the top position in pool B, at the 2014

Glasgow games, New Zealand still have to play Malaysia, the bogey

side for them. They got beaten earlier this year by them. And

England are yet to meet Canada. So, it is a very close pool and it will

come down to the last matches if it is tied up. Alex Shaw gets the ball.

It comes off an English stick. Back to the table, a draw in this match

would leave England leading the group

would leave England leading the difference. It then comes down to

goals scored, winning the last game. It probably favours England

slightly. Indeed it does and a big collision between Andy Hayward... He

might get a card. Yes, a card for Andy Hayward. He will get two

minutes on the chair. I think he is lucky to get a green and not a

yellow. That was a big takeout. There was no way his man was getting

past him. Can England There was no way his man was getting

while New Zealand are down to There was no way his man was getting

men? Hilton up the sideline to safety. But more importantly, a bit

of territory. Views during a rethink, scoring goals,

of territory. Views during a That is a huge takeout. There

way Roper was getting past. You could say that was what they call in

football a professional foul. Jackson finding the frontrunning

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

into the English squad. -- Prisic match. -- terrific match. English

coach liked what he saw and brought him in for the four nations. Just 22

years old and playing in his 28th match, and he set up the goal for

England. Martin, this time, and Shaw had to

get past three of them. And England on the surge again! Manchester makes

another save but England still have the ball. The crowd, urging them

on. Dixon, the magic man. As the sun bursts through and shines out onto

the pitch. England are making all the attacking play right now. New

Zealand get a chance. Great pressure all round by England but the New

Zealand defence stood up to it well. He runs by Martin, get behind it in

a dangerous area, and looking for the dive. But Simon Mantell could

not get on it and then more pressure by the England forwards. Again, a

lovely little trick, and it just goes across the face. Manchester cut

down the angle. And we need a time-out because somebody is down

for New Zealand. A lot of work going in, tired legs all round but what a

dive, great effort by Phil Roper. He is into everything at the moment for

England, everything that is good. Brad Shaw. Here's tired. He has

worked so hard at the back. Both sets of fullbacks have. He might

have just caught one around the neck, Brad Shaw. It took him a bit

of time. Now up on the right flank. It has not been down into the

defensive area for England for 12 minutes. Child. He loses the ball

and again, England get And again, the young man does so

well for England. Phil Roper. He is developing well, isn't he? He is

coming on and dominating his position in this game. Now,

Middleton, finding a wonderful gap and Manchester at. . Gosh,

Middleton's vision. -- full stretch. And guess who had the

full stretch. And guess who had the Jackson off-loads. Giving it to the

young player, and they have got a free shot at goal. Can he turn

around? But again, Manchester makes sure the ball does not bounce back

into the player. A wave of English attack.

They're rather not many times in the geographical area of Scotland that

you will find a crowd cheering for the other home country. -- there are

not many times. But the cheer is going up for England from the 5000

strong spectators who have filled the seats at the Glasgow National

Hockey Centre. A huge number of players waiting to be rotated into

the game on the halfway line. And a free hit, New Zealand. Four

minutes to play. Yes, the final phase of this game. Neither side

wants to give anything away but they would both love to get a goal,

especially New Zealand, I think. It suits England slightly better

because they have a slightly better goal difference by New Zealand. A

draw would suit this England side. McAleese. And the English captain,

Middleton, up and over it goes to Arun Panchia. First time, into

George Pinner, in goal. I have been impressed with Arun Panchia, for New

Zealand. A star quality about this man. And he does it again, puts

people onto the foot of the English defender. -- puts the ball. Simon

Mantell, receiving the ball on the foot but a lovely bit of skill by

Arun Panchia. He was not doing anything else other than trying to

find the foot of the English midfielder. Look at that, easy

breezy. -- easy peasy. Already seeing some brave defending from

England. Barry Middleton has made a terrific save on the post, but he

saw it all the way from the penalty corner. Burroughs, to inject. Andy

Hayward, and a cracking shot, and the second golfer New Zealand! --

second goal, for New Zealand! Second phase, and Simon Child has got a

very important goal. No referral, that is a great goal. Timeout call.

England are taking their goalkeeper. Which is what they have to do if

they want to push up and get a goal. Great stroke and a good save but

watch this reaction from Simon Child, absolutely fantastic, took a

full swing at the Bull, of the Astro and into the roof of the net. All

you'd finish. -- at the ball. What can England do. George Pinner has

come off. So an extra player and Dan Fox will be pushing up. At. Inks,

two minutes left in the match, New Zealand two - one England. 11th

field players on for England. -- 2-1.

So the first part of the job done. Territory gained by New Zealand.

Simon Child, the goal-scorer, and Arun Panchia, who set it up by

getting the penalty corner. Middleton, dispossessed by

Burroughs. These two have played so much against each other. Free hit to

New Zealand on the right-hand side. Just jogging towards the ball now,

Phil Burrows. Burroughs is waiting for Jackson to

retreat to the five metre exclusion zone. -- Phil Burrows. This time, it

is taken off them for wasting time, New Zealand. England rushed through

down to the halfway line. Jackson cannot drag it in. England trying

everything but New Zealand holding fast, packing the midfield and not

letting England get up into the penalty area. Inglis. 30 seconds,

just over, left on the clock. Colin is going crazy on the side,

trying to get the ball down the other end of the pitch.

trying to get the ball down the Read -- doing his not. Can England

have a last opportunity at goal? It is outside. That is the hooter and a

vital win for the New Zealand men's hockey team. They have beaten

England. It was cat and mouse. hockey team. They have beaten

Territorial aerials, we will remember it for that. But it has

been a game of attrition between these two sides. Simon Child, in the

end, the difference on the scoresheet. And there it is, New

Zealand taking out this important pool B match over England, 2-1.

How is it going? I am fine. Fabulous to see you. The last time we spoke

was in to see you. The last time we spoke

here. What has it been like, you to see you. The last time we spoke

live in Glasgow now, we have seen you on the BBC jumping all around on

how much have you enjoyed of the Commonwealth Games? It has been

great, such a good atmosphere in the city. It has been brilliant. Explain

what you're doing here, free area outside BBC Scotland here. We are

here all day with the rock and roll show, doing shows. It should be

good, three shows today. You are doing this kind of thing around the

world. We think the athletes had a great time coming here, you get to

fly around the world. Not a bad life. Definitely did not imagine I

would be doing this, very lucky. life. Definitely did not imagine I

Have you had a chance to go and see anything? Track cycling is huge and

Have you had a chance to go and see today the mountain bikes at Cathkin

Braes. I have not been yet but today the mountain bikes at Cathkin

this week. In terms of mountain biking, is that something which

interests you? Are there any parallels between what you do? I

suppose there is, would both have breaks and Wales and things and I

have a lot of respect for the cross-country guys, their fitness is

unbelievable. -- wheels. But they are quite different, I am trick

based and they are in jobs, but good luck to them all. The Finnieston

Crane looked like a scary moment, what was it like? It was not that

scary for me, just an amazing time, something I have looked at

everyday. I have wanted to make a swing off it, but actually getting

to ride my bike on top was pretty unreal. Basically when you go around

a city I you just looking at the buildings thinking, I wonder if I

can jump off bad? That is all I do, my brain is always working away,

looking at railings, walls. Thank you for having the time to speak to

us, Danny, go and do your stuff and I will definitely get out of the

way. In the meantime, various the final day at Tollcross, eight medals

up for grabs, we can go back to Helen Skelton.

I am so impressed, I love Danny, anybody who has been on one of those

bikes has a serious mindedness, they do not have brakes, suspension,

incredible stuff. I have done a bit of sprinting, I don't like to

mention it, I did everything once in my former life. You did a lot of

stuff in your former life. Women's 400 meter freestyle first, Jazz

Carlin going in this one. Great night for her last night, she will

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

the athletes think they are not getting to bed until 2am, then a

quick turnaround. How did you know I sprint? I did not. These sprinters

build up the lactic acid. With the distance events their muscles will

be hurting. They will be making, but hopefully jazz will be buzzing. This

is Hannah Miley's seventh event, Aimee Willmott is back there after

the 200 fly last night when she got a medal. I think a lot of girls,

everybody semi ball this morning, they swam loads this week. Swimming

do distance swimmers have muscles? I want to see Jazz Carlin do a Becky

and do the double. We have footage of you doing the double. Is it in

black and white? I am in black and white. Glasshouses. I think he wants

to be careful. Some of the punches you are knocking out. Does it seem

like a long time ago? It does. It is credit to Scotland, it is absolutely

incredible, this whole games. That's does look old. If you look at the

stands, a lot emptier, the atmosphere was not the same. We all

had Delhi belly, it is safe to say Scotland are winning hands down. I

never get this feeling, 50 metres, get to the other end. You have no

time to think. But what are you thinking though, are you cruising?

Is it easier? I definitely was not there, we all had a case of Delhi

belly and we were dead, no energy. I was just glad to put my hand on the

wall and finish. It was not a great time for me. Two years earlier than

that I broke the world record, I was going ten seconds slower in Delhi.

Who would be great if you are so far ahead you could do the Usain Bolt.

If anybody would show about I suspect it would be you, here I am a

skirmish and Mark talked to me about Aimee Willmott, she swam

phenomenally well last night, what will she take from these games? She

will take a lot from these games. It gives them an opportunity to stand

up against world-class opposition, to win medals. Those medals go home

with you, it gives you a huge amount of confidence. A huge amount of

confidence. This. The depth of the field is far stronger. At the

impetus hopefully, talking about the Olympics in two years time, they

need that hunger and drive. Hopefully coming here the medals

will give them that. She has saw the middle so far in the medley and

butterfly, I think she has improved so much over the past few years. She

is staying with the same coach but they now train in London at the

aquatic centre. Going into the Olympic Park every single day for

your training, so inspiring. She has already improved so much. I am sure

she has another big jump to improve on. Jazz Carlin changed coaches, was

she going back and forth from Australia? It is strange because the

Swansea performance centre where they were training got closed down.

So her coach move to Australia. She has spent half of her time in

Australia and half her time back here, splitting her time. Though

that might seem strange, but will still beginning, giving her

consistency. It is also a good thing, different people work in

different ways but having the change of scenery, change of setup. When

you are in your home pool day in, day out, it is nice to have a bit of

a change. Plenty of home nations interest

here. McMahon, she has won it! We were so busy talking about that,

this is the first heat. Of the women's 400 meter freestyle, great

swim for the girl from the Isle of Man. Northern Ireland. Northern

Ireland. I am looking at the wrong shade. It is the last day, I am

don't worry. She looks tired. She does look tired but a good swim from

her. -- looking at the wrong sheet. We will join this one properly now

with heat number two, loads of interest, English, Welsh, Scottish.

Plenty of excitement, so let's go over to Andrew and Adrian to take

you through this one properly. That is why they do this bed.

COMMENTATOR: -- this bit. The first of the seeded heaps.

McMahon of Northern Ireland winning that heat. She is in the relay for

Northern Ireland. But now we get into the fastest 16 of the

Commonwealth. Now we have the fastest 16, and Jazz Carlin is going

in the centre, the fastest seed. Hannah Miley there as well. Aimee

Willmott as well. But Jazz Carlin, goodness me, wonderful 800 free last

night. Absolutely, they have been talking about how she has recovered

this morning. Interesting to see, but I think she

will be OK. 400 metres freestyle, first of the seeded heaps, only two

seeded heats here. Jazz Carlin has one clear job this one,

seeded heats here. Jazz Carlin has Make sure she gets through to

seeded heats here. Jazz Carlin has final this evening. -- wagering. A

decent position, Hannah Miley two from the left in the white cap doing

another fun event. She does this for fun, apparently! Quite a few events.

Britney Maclean had a really good bronze medal in the 800 freestyle.

She will be challenging this evening for medals. Jazz Carlin doing enough

but as you say I think the confidence from last night will

overcome any particular lethargy she has got this morning. Through the

first hundred very well. has got this morning. Through the

Miley started this 400 like she started the 800 last night, went out

very fast indeed. She paid a little bit in the second half. Hannah Miley

there in the group of leaders, it would be great to see her make the

final. The weight of the nation would be great to see her make the

the first race, what a way to Scotland to start the Commonwealth

Games in that medley, gold Scotland to start the Commonwealth

the first race in the pool, Hannah Miley taking it. Jazz Carlin looking

good but only three lengths down, five still to go. Just out of shot

on the bottom is Aimee Willmott, silver medallist

on the bottom is Aimee Willmott, she is not with the leading group on

the right, but you can see her looking over their, it is Hannah

Miley setting the pace. This is helpful for Jazz, halfway mark, if

she helpful for Jazz, halfway mark, if

of the race. At the halfway point it is Hannah Miley

of the race. At the halfway point it medallist from the 400 medley, in

second, Britney Maclean of Canada. And Jazz Carlin of Wales in second.

I would like to see her make sure she can pick it

very early here. She has done a really good swim,

front crawl, she has worked hard on it.

front crawl, she has worked hard on looked better than for a number of

front crawl, she has worked hard on years. Really long, rangy. The right

on going well, it was a little bit sloppy before. She is looking the

right way, 100 metres left, still in contention. As you said the job,

these three should qualify. Last 100 metres of this, first of the seeded

heats. The first three here should make it through. Jazz Carlin looking

a little bit uncomfortable closer to us, winner of the 800 metres

freestyle. Maybe a little bit after the Lord Mayor 's show, it was

enormously emotional last night. If she gets top three she will be fine.

Hannah Miley making the move to try to upstage Maclean. She wants to win

this one. Aimee Willmott is not insured, battling fourth and fifth.

I think she might be losing that battle. This is Maclean, Miley, the

crowd trying to lift Hannah Miley to win this heat. Miley hanging on in

there, so is Jazz Carlin, weeks back those three to make it through. If

the last heat goes extraordinarily fast the theory cannot make it, it

is all on time. She looked a little bit tired. She

has done the job. I think some rest now, emotional as you say, tiring,

maybe late to bed, cannot sleep after a gold-medal. A lot of things

well have contributed, but frankly she has done the job she came to do.

But she has to improve on that to get the gold-medal. Maclean is

trying to make up for the fact she only got the bronze. Fifth in the

200 meter freestyle. Maybe hopeful this is the one she can get the

gold. She looks strong, was able to react. Jazz Carlin sticking with the

group. She knew she had to dig in this morning. Well, Brittany

MacLean, bronze in the freestyle last night and did not have the

emotion of the gold. Seventh at the Olympics. And now she will be in one

of the centre lanes in the final. Hannah Miley swam very well to get

second. Jazz Carlin looked a bit tired at the end. But she can go and

swim it off now and have a good rest for the final. This is the final

heat of the women's 400 metres freestyle. Lauren Boyle of New

Zealand in Lane 4. So, she goes in Lane 4, and Faulkner

of England is in Lane 2. It is fascinating in five and six, Bronte

Barratt of Australia, eight years ago in Melbourne, got a bronze in

the 400 metres free, and Caitlin McClatchey won gold medals in the

200 and the 400. It is great to see them still here. Bronte Barratt got

the bronze in the 200 freestyle. When you are talking about speed

indicators and where they might be sitting, Bronte Barratt, with her

bronze in the 203, will be a threat and has gone out quickly in the

yellow cap. This is not a sluggish morning swim. The two Australians,

Remy Fairweather, the 17-year-old, going with her. Another name of

note, second from the left, Tabitha Baumann, just in shot. Alex

Bowman's daughter, the double gold medallist in 2004. Brilliant first

100 from Bronte Barratt. She is really pushing, quite surprising.

She did not swim the 400. That was a bit surprising. But eight years

after she got a bronze in the Commonwealth Games, she still looks

very long and strong and really good. The world junior champion in

Lane 3, Remy Fairweather. The two Australians are very good. Again,

I'm a bit surprised that Lauren Boyle between them is not a bit

further up. She has got very good terms, mind you. -- turns. As you

mentioned, she did not deviate hundred last night, Bronte Barratt

may be a bit fresher and Lauren Boyle is a bit sluggish. It is not

easy to get up. Becky talked about it in the studio. But she is hanging

in there, in the same kind of situation as Jazz Carlin. She has

two stick with the first group, get amongst it, get in the top three and

she should be OK. But this is hard for her. At the halfway turn, they

are pretty quick. No wonder Lauren Boyle has not gone with them. Bronte

Barratt was the first over, of Australia, and the second, Remy

Fairweather of Australia and now Lauren Boyle starting to make the

move in the black hat in the centre. The big threat for the gold medal

this evening, for me, Lauren of New Zealand. -- Lauren Boyle. It is a

big threat but good for hair, a threat to Jazz Carlin, but if you

are Lauren Boyle, quite exciting because she wants a gold medal. She

was fast paced to 100, Bronte Barratt and Lauren Boyle has stepped

up, quite impressive that she can do that and it makes it quite

threatening for the Wales and home country fans. These three swimmers

are having a ding-dong battle. Lauren Boyle in the middle, now. It

is an Anzac battle, here. Look at the top. Really good swimming from

Samantha Cheverton of Canada. Lauren Boyle has taken the lead. She has

been very cagey down the first 150 metres but has picked it up and

started moving through. She has moved really well. She did not try

to catch up in 50 metres. She took her time about it. That's a lesson

for all of the age group is out there, don't make a move on 150, and

tire yourself out. Samantha Cheverton is still going

well at the top. This is an impressive spin from Lauren Boyle,

and the way she has pasted, used Bronte Barratt's speed and come

through, what a great swim. I think Lauren Boyle wanted to reverse what

happened last night. Jazz Carlin needs a big sleep and to reset

herself during the break between sessions. Lauren Boyle is strong and

Remy Fairweather is staying with her. It looks as though it will be

Lauren Boyle. She wins the heat, the second of the fastest seeded. She

will go into the final fastest, and second fastest will be Remy

very hard but I'm not surprised because she came back three hard in

the second half. Yes, very close to doing that, Lauren Boyle, a very

impressive swim. Maybe she wanted to do that to get everything moving in

which will be in trusting. She needs to pop out and go and have a nice,

easy one down, probably a long one, maybe 1000 metres, to swim down.

Then we will have the final this evening. Straight into the

Paralympic events. Marc Woods is joining me. 200 medley.

The SM ten category, swimming, medley, and ten is the athletes with

the most minimal visibility. You can see the things that might be

affected in this race. We might see a below the knee amputee, like

myself. But equally, we might see someone with very modest cerebral

palsy. They have the same functions in the water.

Quite a few people have called in to say it is not really fair that some

people, double amputees, or maybe one, swimming against someone with

both their legs. It does not look on the surface like it is particularly

fair but a lot of side goes into it. That's right, sometimes it does

not look fair but you have to accept there are people with better

knowledge than you and me, even. The people who classify the athletes

have a huge physiological understanding and understanding of

disability and soaring. They make sure it's fair, in the same way that

if you have a weigh-in for a boxing match, it is done fairly. Sophie

Pascoe is the world record holder, and she is in Lane 4.

Katherine Downie. Sophie Pascoe, the six time Paralympic gold medallist.

Three of them in Beijing and three of them in London 2012.

We have got the fastest two in the world in this SM ten, 200 metres

medley. A bit like the world in this SM ten, 200 metres

races, the fastest are absolutely awesome and after that, it tails off

quite quickly. One heat of the Paralympic event. The SM 10. They

are just swimming for a Lane assignment for the final. Slightly

disappointing that there are no home nation entries in this race. We are

particularly weak in this category. If you know anyone who swims at your

club who has a minimal amputation, or mild cerebral palsy, please get

in touch with British swimming because we need more people in this

category. Sarah Bailey, now Sarah Storey, obviously one this category

before she went to cycling. We have not had anybody filling her shoes. A

very strong semester or the strokes and she will be tough to beat,

Sophie Pascoe but we talked about the disability early on and the

medley is a good way of trying to understand how it varies. Someone

who is a leg amputee will be a lot weaker on the breast stroke than

someone who has a hand amputation. But it can switch around for a

different stroke. And Sophie Pascoe's disability? She had an

awful accident when she was a little, she was run over by a sit on

more mower, by a family member and lost her leg below the knee, and her

other leg was badly scarred. We might well get an overhead shot of

her swing breast wrote in a second and you will be able to see the way

she had to balance it out. If you have an amputation below the knee on

one leg, how do you stay so to symmetrical on the breast stroke?

You can see what she is doing, the side where she is missing her foot,

she is pulling her legs far wider, to try to counteract the work her

right leg is doing. Like in Aust Main, able-bodied or Paralympic, it

is about balance and counterbalance, trying to get as much forward

momentum in the stroke. It is just amazing. Pushing off, beautifully

streamlined. Look at where she is. All you club swimmers at home, and

even national swimmers, she went under the backstroke flags,

surfacing about a metre and a half past them. That is pushing off with

one leg. You have got to expect to go beyond the flags whenever you

turn, any swimmer should be twined to do that. -- trying to do that.

Even Jessica Long, the doubly amputee, can do that. -- double

amputee. Sophie Pascoe will come first in the heat. It is making sure

you get a decent Lane for the final. And the world record holder, well

the world record is hers, at 2:20 5.06. -- 2:25 .6.

Katherine Downie, we expect her to go a bit faster in the final this

evening. So, the world number one and two go in the final, first and

third. Various Sophie Pascoe. -- there is Sophie Pascoe. Very

oppressive. She has got great race skills. -- very impressive. You

might expect she would be lopsided, kicking off, but she is even.

Quickly spinning round as she turns. Good, streamlined, hand over hand,

kicking to get underneath the flags, drifting into the finish but it is

only the heats. She has lots of time. She was very emotional when

she won the 100 metres time. She was very emotional when

earlier in the week. It means a lot for these athletes to be at the

Commonwealth Games. And also, team New Zealand have been away from home

for over seven weeks. I think it is quite a big experience for them.

Sophie Pascoe, an amazing athlete and an amazing story. There will be

more swimming coming up but now it is time to hand back.

there are three gold-medallists, Thomas Fraser homes Four is the

which way is this one going to go? I think this one is tough. Mitch

Larkin already has three medals, Dan Wallace has got to meddle so far.

Thomas Fraser homes three medals so far. So these guys, it is probably

who has recovered best. They are all bringing something different. They

all have their strongest rope. That is the thing about the medley. It is

the one who is the master, the jack of all of them, rather than the

master of one of them. Chad is one of the global stars of swimming. But

on butterfly I have not seen him do a 200-metre medley. Blue at pro on

paper, Thomas Fraser homes is the fastest. But Chad is looking great.

Two guys who don't mind what you call them as long as you had to them

in time. Andrew and Fraser, over to you.

COMMENTATOR: There is the winner of the 400 metre medley, what a

wonderful swim it was. Can Wallace, the Scottish record-holder, in Lane

5 in this, the first heat of the men's 200 metres individual medley.

The first of the seeded heats, excuse me. Very interestingly, the

gold-medallist on the backstroke, Mitch Larkin, has actually

withdrawn, and I wonder why, slightly looking knowingly! Yes! The

gold, two silvers in the backstroke, the men's relay later on, and the

Aussies feeling under threat, so they are resting Larkin obviously.

De Clos and Dan Wallace head-to-head. Mohammed at the top of

your picture with the white cap swum well yesterday.

A big shout out to the Gibraltarians. There is a bar in

Wembley that my uncle used to run where they will be watching. This is

where Dan Wallace came where they will be watching. This is

the 400-metre medley. Normally Chad Le Clos does enough to make it

through, but I am not sure he was ready for Dan Wallace's brushstroke.

slightly sideways. That is should, let's keep an eye on it.

Wallace looks great, he is close to should, let's keep an eye on it.

This is the brushstroke you can tell he is working hard, that is the

25-metre mark. Coming into the turn, he has taken a full body length, may

be two because it was behind on the back. That was a nice turn, the

be two because it was behind on the of somebody who has got some energy

back, and look at Mohammed at the top of your picture, I really hope

he makes it through. We are going to have to watch that. We will watch

that very closely indeed. Dan Wallace wins it. He looked very good

indeed. Very cool, calm and collected, he knows exactly what he

is doing. Thomas Fraser-Holmes goes in Lane 4.

That is Bosch. The University of Michigan and had to on it.

Fraser-Holmes, the fastest seed in this Heat 3 of the men's 200-metre

medley. Thomas Fraser-Holmes already won gold in the men's four X

200-metre relay. What a race that was. Silver in the 400-metre

medley. This will be a fascinating final. To the right of the yellow

lanes, you have Lloyd of Wales. The second Welshman doing very well,

turning in second place behind White. This is Lloyd, you said he is

focused on the 200 medley more than anything to be this close to

Fraser-Holmes, he is strong. Lane 3, though, Bosch. I am surprised he is

not there with the green cap. Down nearest to us, Evan White of Canada,

the 18-year-old, strong flies swimmer. I think Bosch might come

through on the brushstroke little bit more, though. Donaldson up in

two, that is a little bit of a surprise. A New Zealander training

in Sydney. He's getting overtaken now, the big boys in the centre

starting to come through. Thomas Fraser-Holmes, he is in the class of

the freestyle, if they turn together on the breast rope, he will

certainly get going. Still going well, Donaldson. Four swimmers going

so well here could be dangerous for the early heat swimmers. Let's have

a look at the times. All of them in a row, White, Donaldson, all of

them, and Fraser-Holmes will come through strongly. He needs to move,

if he is fourth in the yellow cap, that is a really dangerous position

to be in. Fraser-Holmes I think needs to get his act together a

little bit. If he is fourth, he will not make it through, he is still

forth, he is coming through now in the yellow hat but he has got to get

a touch here, he really needs to be second if he can. Stuck his head

down inside the last five. Lloyd, a very good swim for him.

Fraser-Holmes got the touch for second. I have got to tell you, some

good guys will miss out here. The first heat was slow, that was

relatively slow. Goodness me. Fraser-Holmes did a slightly scary

-professional job. He was hanging around right until the last five

metres, and we are on the edge of our seats here, because really this

could be a very interesting qualification. Keep an eye out for

this last heat. Good to see two Welshman in strong positions. Lloyd

will certainly make the last round. The second seeded, the final heat.

If that is the case, Fraser-Holmes could be out. There are a lot of

quick guys here. Pavoni The second fastest seed. Fourth in the 400

medley. If I was Fraser Holmes right now I would be a bit squeaky.

The final heat of the men's 200 metres individual medley. It will be

very, very tight indeed to make the final. It really is. Sub 2.01 and

they should make it in, but there is a .7 eight, is really tight and five

of these guys can do it. Tight but not fast. Lane 3, Joe Roebuck using

his fly. Training down in Bath now, the Rotherham boy. Rousseau, also

Tranter. Tranter's hero interestingly is Mike Tyson. An

aggressive way to start training. Roebuck, nice flyback. Roebuck

leading with the black cap bowled England. Silver-medallist in Delhi

in the 200-metre and a 400. He needs to work this fly back. A very fast

first hundred. There are four guys in it at the moment, and I wonder if

it is going to be those four through with the fastest four from the first

two heats? It will be interesting, again, you don't want to be fourth

place in this race. All of them synchronised brushstroke, beautiful.

Roebuck tailing off on the brushstroke, not his strongest row,

and he will trouble. Rousseau holding it. Tranter coming through

on the freestyle. Roebuck, a good turn. The two Englishman batting

possibly for a place. -- battling possibly. We thought these guys

would go for it thinking they could make the final. It is unusual to

have four guys out of one heat to make the final and I think it will

happen here. The Australian, Tranter, swam a good heat. It will

be fairly comfortable sub two minutes. The first three do that,

Roebuck in the final as well. My goodness me. He came fourth in that

heat and he will make the final. So, really very interesting indeed,

and I think Thomas Fraser-Holmes will come in

and I think Thomas Fraser-Holmes you have four men really realising

there is a lot at stake. Breaststroke, all strong, all in a

line, and then a really good turn by Tranter, a professional job, coming

through in the last 25 metres to get a comfortable touch. Roebuck just

All four of the top for their will hard, fourth in this heat.

All four of the top for their will make the final. -- the top four.

There are no semifinals here. There are at the worlds and the Olympics.

This is the confirmation of the finalists:

Look at the seventh and the eighth, the medals could come from the two

outside lanes. The heats have bucked the trend, the

final could buck the trend. Le Clos, it was interesting to see his

race against Wallace, I said something about being a jack of all

trades, he is not a jack of any trade on the breast rope, because

Wallace just completely destroyed him on the breast rope! Let's here

from Dan Wallace. -- the breast stroke.

You looked really controlled, it must give you a lot of confidence?

My confidence is pretty high. A lot higher, it was a very controlled

race and I am looking forward to tonight. Do you think the big man

walking past as was playing a bit with that? I think we all were a

little bit. We were just making sure we get there in the final and

little bit. We were just making sure will be a great race tonight. It

will be another roof raised for you this evening, good luck.

will be another roof raised for you breaststroke came out.

will be another roof raised for you Tranter came past. What is he doing

wrong, technique? wrong, technique? He cannot swim

breaststroke very well! Dan has a great breaststroke. They were just

going through 15 metres and that is impressive. Dan is an awesome

breaststroke swimmer. Chad le Clos is a world-class swimmer, but if he

needs to do one thing it is to work on breaststroke. Breaststroke is

about timing, it is different from others. With Chad, his turns are

incredible. On the backstroke and front freestyle, he works that

underwater. On the breaststroke it is different under water and he

misses out on guys, the veterans, it is a good

place to be. We can move on to the medley relay. Plenty of home nations

interest. COMMENTATOR: Australia will probably

change most of their team for the final this evening. They have to

make sure there are no disqualifications. The Welsh team

have two changes. Heat 2. Wales up there in two, Papua

New Guinea in three, Australia four, England five and Scotland six.

Northern Ireland, fourth in the first heat. They are hoping to beat

Papua New Guinea. Lizzie Simmonds. Belinda Hocking, strong.

She won the 200 metres backstroke. This is great swimming. Both pushing

hard. I think they would like to go sub 60. It is not easy to do. It

will be fairly close. 59.94 from Hocking.

Team Wales, we have had tight takeovers and the takeover again to

be confirmed, which sometimes means a disqualification. Let's hope they

are OK. Sally Hunter for Australia against Molly Renshaw, of England.

This is interesting. She speeded up her stroke. On the individual 100

she felt it was too slow. She is doing well. We will get Taylor into

night. Australia leading, and I bet they do

night. Australia leading, and I bet takeover time. Nice and safe.

England also say. Wales, the second has still to be checked. Team Wales

at the top. Team Scotland are doing well. There is a real gap between

the teams. I think Australia have put a

well. There is a real gap between the teams. I think Australia have B

team in. Quite dominant on this. England, with a couple of changes,

could get closer. Then you have Canada from the first heat. It is

all to blame for tonight. The Australian B team, anchored by

Bronte Campbell, 52.8 for her 100 metres

Bronte Campbell, 52.8 for her 100 the world. Unbelievable. She had the

Commonwealth Games the world. Unbelievable. She had the

freestyle for a while. the world. Unbelievable. She had the

freestyle relay already set the record.

It will be interesting Campbell's time.

Just under four minutes. getting the third-place. A big cheer

from the crowd, for bringing back team home. Wales touched fourth but

from the crowd, for bringing back one of their takeovers has still to

be checked. Papua New Guinea, 30 metres still to go, here they are.

Relatively good news for Northern Ireland. As long as they come in

ahead of Papua New Guinea, they will make it through to the final this

evening. They will make it. Papua New Guinea finishing in fifth. They

could make the final if Wales are disqualified. Zero time between the

could make the final if Wales are backstroke swimmer touching the wall

and her toes leaving the block. 0.0. She has done that. South Africa and

Wales have done it. I think it is the benefit of the doubt. Do you

think? In our day you were allowed 0.03. They might have changed. We

will find out. Because they are minors, they might not want to show

it and they put on 0.0. Australia's B team is quite incredible. I think

the England team are talking to Sharon Davies. They have given you

the passes but she is not the most responsible! I am more likely to

drop them. I was out first, so I am least tired. Changes tonight. It is

great here because we can rest the team for the finals. For us, it was

about doing a solid job and being safe on takeovers and putting the

team in a good position for tonight. To content for the gold position.

Molly, a good week? Definitely, my first Commonwealth Games and

hopefully the girls can do better tonight. The juniors among you know

each other well, but working with the senior team is different. It is

a different atmosphere, but it is really nice. You have trained with

Fran Halsall. You have been competing for years. You must be

pleased with the way the team is coming through? Definitely. I am

happy with the guys coming through. It is weird having people biting at

your heels, but it is good for the team. I am happy that we

your heels, but it is good for the progressing. Can we beat the

Australians? I would like to think so. Nothing wrong with that, a bit

of optimism, they would fit in well at here. We move onto the men's four

x 100. Wales, the perfect takeover, not so keen on takeovers in the

relay yourself, are you, Mark Foster? Do you remember that,

session we had last night, then? With the touchpad on the wall that

stops the timing system, for the block there is a pressure pad, so

when the hands coming of the swimmers returning to the wall and

the person leaving, their hand could be touching the wall here while this

person could be in the air as long as their toes are still on the

block, hence the 0.00 part. It is difficult, I think Andrew and Adrian

Wilner exactly what we are talking about.

COMMENTATOR: Andrew, what have you got to say about that? Andy Jamieson

comes into the wall, and Mark Foster's hands touches feet. --

touches his feet. Mark Foster jumped on my legs, he could not wait. He

was getting too impatient, I was far too slow. Disqualified in the final

of the limpets. But we are not going to talk about that! CHUCKLING

I still blame him but he still blames me, that is all right. And

you both blamed me! In Lane 7 of this first heat of the men's four x

100-metre relay, your head has to come up by the 50 metres and he was

very close indeed. We have Gibraltar in one, Scotland in two, Malaysia in

three, Canada in four, Guernsey, Wales, Scotland and New Zealand.

Andrew McGovern leading them out. There are 14 teams in this, it is a

little bit harder to make the final. You really want to be in the top

three here to make sure you are in it. Cory Main, from New Zealand.

Schneider, their main brushstroke. New Zealand, then Wales. It was a

very professional takeover, 31 hundredths of a second, what on

earth are these guys doing? 31 hundredths is too tight. Don't do

it, I am getting annoyed -- three one hundredths of a second.

Blends riders from New Zealand over first. -- Glenn Snyders from New

Zealand. He trains over in Los Angeles. New Zealand leading. Canada

are doing well. They are in Lane 4. Wales just touching third.

New Zealand leading, second at the moment it is. It looks like it is

Canada now leading, they have overtaken New Zealand down at the

bottom there. Team whilst doing well. Cameron Brodie for Scotland.

And a new 50-metre pool in a boarding school down in Devon. What

a programme they are going to have. Cameron Brodie swam a wonderful

200-metre fly. They are backstroke and breaststroke. Canada going

first. New Zealand second, Wales three, Scotland in fourth. They need

to pick it up a little bit, takeover. Zero

Wales having a great swim. Winning the battle at the moment between

Scotland. Jack thought has gone off very quickly indeed. That is Canada

-- Jack Thorpe. New Zealand in second. On the right-hand side,

right at the top, team Scotland may be overtaking Wales closest to us.

They will be tight. Wales may be going to get it. Fourth place is a

little bit of a dangerous place to finish. It is very dangerous. Wales,

that touch there could have done it. South Africa, Australia, England in

this next heat. The rest of the teams not as strong. So maybe they

should be OK. Scotland, don't get too worried. Maybe they should be?

should be OK. Scotland, don't get waiting, the Gibraltar team coming

Again, some very, very tight takeovers. As the result been

confirmed? Yes it has. The start from Marco Laughlin was fine on the
