BBC Three: Day 7: 09:00-14:00 Commonwealth Games

Good morning and welcome to BBC Three's coverage of the Commonwealth

Games. As you can probably tell, it is a bit of a grey and damp day here

at Pacific tea, but it is certainly not dampening the spirits of the

people coming in at the moment. We are past the halfway stage at the

Commonwealth Games and yesterday 31 people became gold medallists.

Has he got him greater mark I think he has!

Davis gets the gold! The gold medal in the team final.

The final race of the Commonwealth Games is taken by England!

They have the silver medal! Delight for the Englishwoman. Let's

take a look at the medal table, Australia still in the lead with 101

medals including 34 gold medals. England have a very respectable 93

medals. Scotland took silver for the first

time ever in the team gymnastics. Canada moved ahead of Scotland due

to the memorable gold and silver of Catharine Pendrel and Emily Batty on

the gruelling mountain bike race on Cathkin Braes. Jen Mcintosh claimed

shooting silver at Barry Buddon. We have plenty of sport for you

today, first up we will be at Kelvingrove as England's player

takes on Aron Sherriff in the men's singles competition.

It is day one of the diving, and Tonia Couch will be hoping to add

gold to the European total of 2012. And in boxing, Michael Conlon, Joe

Ham and Sean McGoldrick are all just one step away from medals in the

bantamweight division. And if that is not enough for you,

on BBC One they are showing the clash of England and Scotland in the

women's hockey. These may be the friendly Games but the old enemies

never hold anything back. And as ever, our website,

bbc.co.uk/glasgow2014, is your source of anything Commonwealth

Games. Click on there for news, updates and live streams so you

never miss a thing. I am delighted to see that Craig

Heap joined us now, Commonwealth Games gold medallist, he competed at

the Olympics and now has the more difficult task of explaining

everything to people like me. What a fabulous day yesterday for men and

women for England. It was an absolutely amazing day,

just to see the English men lift the title again. It has been 12 year for

the men, 20 years for the women, and what a great day for the home

nations. Scotland got their first ever team medal, silver, and the

Welsh ladies picked up the bronze, which was fantastic to see the

gymnast stood in the arena thinking, have we won a medal? That

is what is really great about sport, being able to see that was

fantastic. It is not a sport we see a lot of in Glasgow, but the

atmosphere inside the halls from the artistic to the women's and it

seemed to be fantastic, and it seemed to be a knowledgeable and

appreciative crowd. Yes, you find that the fans really

do follow gymnastics. I reckon 90% of the audience will be

involved in gymnastics and the other 10% are fans of watching it, they go

to the Commonwealth Games come Olympics. Any chance for live sport

in this country and I think we are really up for it.

What was your highlight from yesterday?

I think the young English Claudia Fragapane eight, she was absolutely

amazing to watch. She is leading the all-rounder and

she is leading qualification through the practice. I am really excited,

not just for the Games for her, but I am looking forward to Rio 2016.

And for the men, a great day for Louis Smith but an injury for Sam

Oldham. Ultimately what you remember is that fabulous gold.

Yes, and it was really nice to see Louis Smith come back to form as

part of the team, not just on the polls but on the parallel bars. He

was needed, after some's injury, you start to think, we only have three

guys in the team. All of the scores have two count. Fortunately for team

England, they were so far in front it was not an issue. As you can

see, this normal routine, I would say technically this is one of the

best routines I have seen him doing. -- pommel routine. He will have to

up the difficulty if he wants to become the pommel horse champion

tomorrow. This was a sad and difficult

moment, so much training goes into any tournament but you don't want to

have an injury here, do you? That is the difficulty you have,

when you are performing on a piece of apparatus like the fault, he is

so powerful and dynamic, that is a handspring double front have to

turn. As he landed he said something felt as though it popped back out

and then back in. Two and a half somersaults, the half term, landed

slightly to one side and snapped back in. You can see his coach at

the side cheering because it was such an amazing fault. Then Scott

Hanson said, hang on committee is injured. Credit to him committee did

not just fall on the floor, he grabbed his ankle, presented to the

judge and then collapsed on the floor. Fair credit to sample it was

nice that he had gone away, come back and was of the medal ceremony,

not stuck in the hospital. A really great moment. Christian and Louis

Smith really doing their bit so he could be part of that ceremony. How

nice. When you see the medal ceremony here

at the Commonwealth Games does it bring back the emotions for

nutrition might yes, I had a few messages from people saying it is

bringing back memories from 2002, do you wish you were there?

I was talking to Scotland's first-ever gold than those done the

rings and he was saying, this is amazing but I am glad I am not spend

there! -- down their Lexmark break! This is a great moment for those

guys to be bigger and better things, as they are doing.

I popped down to the athletes village last week when the teams

were being welcomed and I saw Steve on the microphone selling raffle

tickets and doing the whole thing, hanging up people's jackets.

That is the great thing about these Games committee is fabulous for

those who are there, great for the memories for you guys, and Steve

must have been so proud of Scotland's efforts yesterday because

that was a historic moment. Yes, and Adam Cox, to come back from

retirement, he is at teacher, I'd ever cooing with ad for so many

years and I don't let you have seen the photograph, he is saying, come

on! That must be on the front page of all the newspapers. That is what

it meant to him. It has not been an easy couple of years. I think that

was really nice. I think with the apparatus finals we have not seen

the end of the medals for the Scottish guys and may be Scottish

women, as well. It is a really exciting couple of days now we have

the all-around final today of both men and women as we can see here.

That was Purvis yesterday. -- Dan Purvis. Yes, Dan is a

seasoned performer now. He has done so well now the team is settled.

The young Frank Baines coming into the team, he is actually top on the

parallel bars qualification. I think Steve was maybe a little bit

agitated, will he be the only person ever to win a gold medal? I think he

would like that title but I said, you better watch out because Frank

Baines was superb on the parallel bars and is leading qualification. I

would like there to be a real mix in the individual finals, and that this

weather likes of Scotland and Wales and England will have a real

battle, which will be nice to watch. It will be. Thoughts about Adam Cox?

He pulled out just before Delhi but he is back here.

Yes, he went back to teaching. he is back here.

was fortunate the local council said he could have a couple of months of

teaching to get in. It would be nice, his speciality is the Iva Barr

but because Scotland are strong in the side bar is not made the final.

But he is on the vault final. Anything can happen in

But he is on the vault final. your feet, that would be a real

fairy tale ending for Adam. He was saying, I am not sure if this is the

end, but I think that is the euphoria. Yes, we will fight on! But

when you go back to training six hours a day, sometimes he might go,

yes, I think I will call it a day now. Whatever he does, I wish him

the best of luck, he is a great guy and he is so good for Scottish

gymnastics. Do you think the fact that Louis

Smith went off and did Strictly Come Dancing and all these other things

and became known outside of gymnastics has increased the

popularity, maybe just of him, but maybe gymnastics, as well, that he

has come back to it. He has not just come back to have a play, he has

executed it so well. Yes, Louis Smith has been a bit of a

poster boy for gymnastics. I think he would probably be the most famous

home nations athlete we have here. Mo Farah pulled out, obviously. He

is really, really popular. He has generated interest. It is cool for

guys to do gymnastics. I was speaking to someone yesterday within

BBC Sport, and I remember when I was in school doing gymnastics I was a

bit of an oddball, why would I want to do a girl's sport?

but with freestyle dramatics and Louis Smith winning medals, it is

pretty cool now. I spend a lot of time going around schools and the

first thing they say is, do you known Louis Smith? I say, I taught

him all he knows Lexmark... ! Has had a battle to prove to get

into the team. We had a battle at the Europeans, he was slightly

miffed not to make the team, but that is not because of his talent on

the pommel horse. What we saw yesterday was come if what happened

was to happen in the World Championships and someone like Sam

Oldham or one of the other guys gets injured, you would have to rely on

him to step up. However, he did the parallel bars, but he does not do

the high bar or the floor or the vault. When you expend people, they

go, yes, I understand why he would not be in the team now. He is

brilliant on the pommel horse comedy has won a medal, but we'll so have

two other guys that are brilliant on it. Max has top qualification and is

the current European champions. Daniel Keatings is fantastic on the

pommel horse. In the past we were desperate to win a medal and Louis

Smith would go regardless. It is his downfall, my year struggling to make

the team, because he has inspired all of these kids. In a way, he

should be proud of what he has inspired, he has inspired a

generation which are unfortunately now better than in Lexmark -- better

than him! It has been great to see the

dynamics of the Clinton team which has obviously had to split up for

these Games and it is a friendly Games but still so competitive. I

know you have a lot of gymnastics to talk about a lot of other people,

thank you for your time. We will head across to Edinburgh

where we're getting different aquatics. The swimming finished

yesterday and now we are heading to a different city a different

discipline but the same person, Helen Skelton.

Yes, that is right, I am all about the water babies this week.

We have moved to Edinburgh. The diving had to take place here, Leon

Taylor. It had to happen here, this swimming pool was built for the

1970s Commonwealth Games. There is a huge history here.

Yes, and recently been refurbished, as well. A stunning backdrop, Oliver

Browning is in place and all the -- of this swimming pool is world

class. We have a world-class field, don't

regret you it is about quality rather than quantity.

England are the only formation that have put in a team but they are up

there, are they not? Yes, the Canadians, Australians and

Malaysians all feature in the top in the world here. Later this morning

we have the first medal chance 14 England, Tonia Couch and Sarah

Barrow, but they are up against the top five in the world. This is going

to be the closest run contest in the diving, in my opinion. Without the

Chinese year you have the rest of the pairs and the rest of the world.

I love Sarah and Tonya, because I feel like they have been there for

so long with the best underworld -- in the world. In Delhi they were

forth, they just missed out on a medal at the World Cup but it is so

close for them. It must be their time, their

training has been going well. They will not have an easy ride and it

comes down to be inconsistent. The girls all have five dives to do and

they have to be super precise. They have been training and warming

up behind us this morning and I kind of think, come on, girls!

Do you fancy getting in? You have seen my diving efforts!

I only dive with Brendan Cole, that is another story.

Everyone will be wondering where Tom Daley is, he is not diving today but

he is here. Yes, his preparations have been

going well, he entered his farm in Shanghai recently. We have been

watching him in training recently, he is going well. He will be doing

the synchronised diving event as well as the individual, which is a

surprise. A last-minute entry, we will talk more about that nearer the

time but you heard it here first. The man on the inside!

The individual is on the Saturday. Yes, and then the ten metres

individual is on the Friday. This morning is all about a young

man called James Heatley diving for Scotland.

This is his home swimming pool. What a fantastic day for his family.

He is the first diver, as well. His grandfather competed and won medals

in the Commonwealth Games before him. He is here, recently turned 90.

I am sure he is a very proud grandfather.

Is grandson kicks things off today, what a perfect start to this four

days of diving. Also Alicia Blagg and Rebecca

Gallantree, they should go well? Yes, that is the women's three

metres seniors. We have the men's one metres preliminaries this

morning, then we have team England action in the women's ten metres

platform and finishing off today will be the final of the men's one

metres. All strong chanters 14 England,

James Heatley we have already mentioned and the girls finishing

off the three metres springboard at the end of the day.

And I am diver from Leeds, we will claim he is not going for England or

Scotland, representing Jamaica, absolutely brilliant, brilliant

character. We will be talking to him hopefully. But if you want to more

about diving, he was a little guide to all you need to know. -- here is

a little guide. Platform. They also contest the one

metre springboard. For synchronised, adjacent boards are

used. The measure 4.8 metres long and 50 centimetres wide. From the

diving to our competitors will dive side-by-side from the same ten metre

platform. Six metres by five metres. Divers can dive for Lord, backwater,

reverse, inboard, twisting and armour stand. He died last for only

a few seconds but takes a lot of skill and nerve. -- a dive.

I might be biased because we are here but I feel this is one of those

sports that really keeps you on the edge of your seat. You can get

really hot, can she? Yes, you can. The clap was the end that the pool

even when in training, when a diver is performing, they'll is rapturous

applause. It is incredibly dangerous and difficult. It you smack the

water you are going to get bruised. Hopefully it will not go wrong

today. Chris Mears, he had a serious injury. His heart stopped for times.

At the youth Olympic Games in Australia, he had meningitis. It was

really drastic. Lots of divers have got little injuries that they are

nursing. Team England do not have a lot of injuries. With diving you can

get whiplash or aches and streams from hitting the water correctly. It

is in the back that the divers will be doing a lot of warming up. He

will bounce up and down on a trampoline. The only reason that I

mention him, not to make anyone nervous, if you are going to applaud

give them extra applause because it is incredible what they are doing.

How much time do you spend learning on dry land? If you are training

full-time as a diver, six hours of your day will be training. Roughly

three hours will be for using matched training. Trampolines for

somersaults. Am I right in thinking that a perfect body for diving is

big hands, big beat but being quite short. I do not know if big feet add

essential but big hands are. You need to get into the water without

any splash. When you have got a big surface area then you do not want

any splash which is a massive part of what the judges are looking for.

A splash on this entry is what I will be commentating on later. -- an

entry without splashes. Watch this space for the big name in diving,

Tom Daley. Lots of Scottish and English hopefuls going this morning

and this evening. He is more about him. That here is more about him.

That was good, he cannot do any more than that. The crowd are on their

feet. Tom Daley has done everything he can. Tom Daley could not have

done any more. It is out of your hands now. 2013 was a very tough

year for me. I had injury. 2014 comes with a lot of changes. I have

moved to London with a new court. Lots of exercises in the gym -- in

the gym and I have changed my exercises. I have just got a

personal best in Mexico and got a silver medal. I am gradually take

the step to being good, to get into that excellence category.

You mentioned that personal best, what has been the difference? To

break a personal best is something you always strive for. If I do not

.1 of my toes, if I go slightly over from vertical, the smallest mistake

can cost you a personal best. -- if I do not line up my toes.

What was special about the Commonwealth Games gold medal? The

Commonwealth Games has always been massive on the diving candour --

calendar. In India, I came away with two gold medals and I was over the

moon. That is not so good. He lost it all

on the take-off. Running out of room. Maybe the flashes put him off.

Tell us about the Demon died, the twister. Everybody has got a dive

that they are skilled and for me it is the back twister. I am quite

optimistic at the Commonwealth Games that I will be able to nail that. Am

I right in saying that you have seen a therapist or psychologist? There

are so many things to talk about whether it is in diving or outside.

It is crucial to be at the top of your game and you have to be

mentally any possession to think that you can win and also be in a

position where you do not have any worries about the sport.

To get another Commonwealth gold medal would mean so much. It only

happens once every four years. It is not an adventure do one year and you

say you can do it again another year to try to win. You do all that

training for four years and you get six dives. If you mess up, you are

out. By the time that the Commonwealth Games happens and I am

on the board, hopefully I will be in shape.

Worth saying that if you have the rewind button on your TV. The man

who gave Tom Daley de medal in India, his grandson will be the

first man going for Scotland in the pool this morning. He is a global

star, Tom Daley, but diving is his day job. What is the dynamic in the

team? He is just part of the team. The team dynamic here is fantastic.

Both England and Scotland are sharing the training pool and

staying in the same hotel. They are very supportive. It is not just the

Tom Daley show and he will be pleased to see that. I have had the

pleasure of meeting him and he does seem very gracious. As you say, this

morning, our first medal chance is with Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow

who are behind us, practising. Fingers crossed for them. Here is

more about those two. We have been partners since 2010

together. We know each other pretty well. I have known the serious and

she was seven. If we do not get on then it would not work as well. She

brought me into the sport when she broke her arm in gymnastics. It is

really exciting. British diving. Exciting to be competing for

England. She is fun to be rough. Always laughing and joking. We got

two silvers in the world event for synchronise. We both came fifth in

the World Cup last week. We have been competing with some of the best

in the world saw experience means a lot here. We have been busy so we

are looking forward to competing. We both know when we are ready to

compete well. We are ready to compete well. A different way. I

like to be in my own little bubble. If we talk before the competition we

normally see it as a good sign. We turn it into a good thing. When I

enjoy a competition then I tend to dive better. It is a tough

competition for the women in the ten metres. Every team that beat us in

the World Cup are competing here. It is not like we cannot do it. If I am

smiling then I can dive well. Let us hope we can beat them this time.

Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow go first this morning. Ten metres women

synchronise. Can they do it? They have been very positive and it will

be tight. It is all about consistency. They have to put the

pressure on the other purpose. England and Scotland are the only

home Nations team to have sent a team. Wales, Northern Ireland, the

Isle of Man, join us. We will send you off to commentary and we will

see you at 11:50 a.m.. Thank you very much. I actually

trained to be a lifeguard at the Commonwealth pool in Edinburgh. That

was the end of my career. Dan Wallace and Ross Murdoch, thank you

for joining us. Do you have any voice left? You have done more

interviews than swimming. My voice is struggling. It was struggling on

the first stage. I have been struggling since then. It has been a

really good couple of days. We have had a busy morning but I am really

enjoying it. How has your few days change. You were in action last

nights are you not have had time to get out into the real world? It is

only been about 12 hours since I was racing and the swimming pool. I am

looking forward to relaxing. Hopefully see some of sports and get

back in Scotland for the last few days. If somebody had told you one

week ago that you would be sitting here leaving the Commonwealth Games

with three medals, would you believe it? Not for a single second. I knew

I was capable of getting a medal. To get three, one gold, two M. Team

Scotland have done great in the swimming pool and in other sports.

-- totally amazing. You are not wearing your models, Ross, you are.

Have you got a very sore neck? -- reading your medals. I have had a

busy schedule so I have not had a lot of chance to wield. I met some

royals yesterday. Apart from that, I have not had the chance to wield

them look at them. I have had to stay grounded. I will enjoy it over

the next week. Have you had time to speak to family and friends, or have

you been going to TV studio to meet royals and things like that?

you been going to TV studio to meet to sit down and see my parents a

little bit after one of the to sit down and see my parents a

got to see them last night. Not had much time to relax and enjoy my

success over the past week. I definitely will do that this week.

We can take a look at some of your work in the swimming pool. We will

start off with Ross. Have you watched this back? I got a chance to

watch a little bit of it back. Not from this angle. We had some race

analysis and I got to watch it from that perspective. I had not seen

many images like this. At which point do you realise that you have

one? You can see the shock on your face. I was totally unaware that I

had done what I had done. I still cannot believe it just now, the time

that came up on the board was mine. Dang, I saw that when you wrote on

Twitter, you said, I left it late. Does that register at all? Is it

like watching somebody different? I watched my race back the next day.

It was quite strange to me touch is -- to seemed touched the wall first.

At the halfway point, I was so far down. It was pure relief. I was so

happy for myself and my team-mates, and my family. It was a great

moment. I enjoyed the entire week. You mentioned your family, they have

sacrificed a lot for you to encourage you to keep swimming. We

sacrificed a lot for you to must mention killed. At which point

did you decide that would be a great idea? It was a team decision that we

were going to step our game up for the last night as a whole nation.

The kilt was definitely a great idea. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The

code thoroughly enjoyed it. That was definitely a moment that I will

never forget. Your family have sacrificed a lot for you, have they

not? Yes, it is starting to pay off, they

are as happy as I am with the result. Everything I do in the

swimming pool is for them. It gives me such joy to see them so happy

watching me swimming my brothers and sisters, I don't know how they sit

in the stands and watch for hours and hours. But it really is special

and makes it all worth it in the end.

and makes it all Well, social media gives the world a

great insight into people's lives, we can spy on each other now. Ross,

I particularly like yours, there have been some great socks, there

was the time you crack three eggs and got six yolks. There is this,

how high can you jump? It is like URL grasshopper!

There is actually someone sitting behind you. How does that work? How

do you do that? It is just one of those things, I

do you do that? It is just one of those things, have

trained to become an athlete, strong in the legs, you have to be for

breaststroke. It is just total part of my prerace routine I like to do.

-- a little part. You are not jumping up and down on

the sofa when you were little, where you?

I think I definitely was one of those kids!

What happens to you guys next? You still have competitions coming up,

do you get any time off? I will get a little time off, I will

try and see some other sports, I would love to see the

weightlifting, that is amazing to watch and the crowd are getting

really involved in that. That is something I would like to see, but

just to get to watch the atmosphere in the village. The first few days

before the competition and got to chill in the village and I really

enjoyed it, playing pool and at different Games consoles with people

from other nations. Daniel, what about you?

I am looking forwards to just chilling out, I'm not going to think

about swimming at all and hopefully get to see some of the events here

and get behind Scotland to finish the game is strong.

Is there anything you would like to see come any athletes you would like

to watch? There is nothing in particular, the

whole Games experience has been great and I hope I can continue to

kind of get involved with that and just really appreciate the

opportunities we have. OK, thank you so much for your time,

I know UR on the world tour at the moment, the Pacific theatre, it

seems to be. Nature you try and enjoy these days because you never

know when they are going to come again. -- the Pacific key tour.

We're going to head across to the lawn bowls, it is a stunning

setting, the dear green place. We have Aron Sherriff in the men's

singles. COMMENTATOR: Well, it is 10-8 to

Aron Sherriff. Sam Tolchard went for the heavy shot

and ruffled at all the way across. -- rattled it.

Both players now playing of the same side of the rink.

That last bowl is just causing some some problems on the line. He is

going to swap sides onto his backhand.

That looked better, it just falls touch out of range. Still one to

England. Sam Tolchard having a look for

himself. He has dropped his final bowl short

on two or three occasions. He has to make sure he is there.

He just wanted a touch to keep it to his own. It goes through. Certainly

one. Yes, single shot.

He has won a few ends, but he has more shots. That has been the

difference between Sam Tolchard and Aron Sherriff. Open with the two,

since then seven singles picked up. Neither side can dominate at the

moment. Aron just has the edge, but there is nothing in the game. Very

tight. Sam Tolchard's stated ambition ahead

of these Games was to win a gold medal or silver. He has had to

settle for bronze in pairs. He has a shot in the singles. He has already

beaten the reigning champion. Defeat here would not be fatal, but

beaten the reigning champion. Defeat you would

beaten the reigning champion. Defeat quarterfinals without question.

The marker indicates Sam Tolchard is lying one.

And he can now indicate that he is lying two.

And just did well, takes it with him. We would prefer his own bowl to

fall down. The members of the Aussie squad, the Jackaroos, are watching

on. That was disappointing, Sam could

afford to reach that. Solid on the bowl, taking it away.

It will be interesting to charge to both players, John, because several

times with the final bowl they delivered - I know that Aron

Sherriff has won two gold - either the shot has been against them or

they have had a pretty good chance without danger to add, but they have

not reached. Especially in this direction. The

problem is, with pushing Especially in this direction. The

That is a good length bowl. Yes, two shots.

There have been a few chances that have gotten away, but not that time

from Aron Sherriff. Still very little to choose between these two

players. He looks in fine condition, Aron

Sherriff. Certainly ahead of the 2012 World Championships Heath shed

22 kilos to get himself fitter. That is more and more the story amongst

bowlers, who may or not in the past have carried a little excess weight,

but they want to carry themselves in peak condition.

Yes, they are thinking about prolonging their career. The longer

you want to play, with too much weight it affects the knees.

They are quite important in bowls, the knees.

It is amazing the amount of bending they do. If you were to add up the

medal pressure you are putting on those joints, if you are carrying

that little bit of extra body weight it tends to just affect the knees.

It is going to be an interesting day for Aron Sherriff, here playing

England's gold-medal hope, Sam Tolchard.

This afternoon he will take on Tolchard.

This afternoon he will Robert Weale of Wales.

Sam Tolchard will finish up against Kenya.

He is trying with this, needs the blue bowl. He is just the wrong side

of it, but he has three good seconds. This is important for Sam.

He must get another one in. Just checking how far short Aron

Sherriff's bowl is. Nine inches. They could be in trouble.

He needs a couple of metres more weight on his last line. He could

get some bad luck. He is on a line. He is very close.

He has got the jack. It is solid. Looked like he was plumb on it. Just

wavered slightly. Did not get it quite solid. He got half of it. He

got back into the jack. That is what he did not want.

He is looking at it. He is close. Lazy Jack. He is unlucky. The touch

has went with the jack. Both players playing the shots. The

conditions are not easy. Neither getting the result they were looking

for. Both of them were good bowls. He gets half on the jack is well.

Some mornings you do wonder. Aron Sherriff just speaking ahead.

-- just sneaking ahead. The Namibian missed the chance to

beat Bobby Donnelly. He had to take a comfort break and he was agitated

after missing such a good chance. He closed it out. There was some crazy

results in that section. It has to be the strangest story. Darren

Burnett beat the Cook Islands. Just one end over the minimum. Bobby

Donnelly who is already a silver medallist then lost to the cook

islands 21-1. There no logic to that. Is none. It is a logical.

Incredible. When you have been beating 21-0, you do not expect to

win a Game 21-1. Not against a silver medal winner. That was good

again from Aron Sherriff. Congratulations from his coach. Aron

Sherriff is starting to play the better bowls. I would agree. He is

unlucky they are, Sam Tolchard. -- unlucky there.

It is more than just a Scottish breeze that is rippling across these

greens. It is boring. I have not seen one of them for a long time,

the old green hood. -- rain hood. That needs to bend. He gave that a

really good try. For the first few days,

like Australian weather. Big gust of wind into the face of

Sam Tolchard it as he got that way. I think that is too much.

Single-shot. Just starting to get the better of

his English opponent, Aron Sherriff. I think at the moment he is playing

the better bowls. Sam has to hold on to him. He needs to keep it tight.

You are looking at the big three in the group. Aron Sherriff is

unbeaten. If Sam Tolchard was to go down then that would be one match

against him. Aron Sherriff, performed this match, was plus 19.

-- before this match. Good line then, just needs to run.

He has played this really well. That is great. Solid determination on the

shot, the way it left his hand. The Australian is close as well. Very

close. He gets the drop now. Sam asking to come up and have a

look, to see whether it is worth playing with the open hand. I am

tempted to come with it at the moment. It is difficult to get past

the short bowl on the forehand side. As long as he waits it enough he

should be fine. -- weights. He is playing safe.

He has picked a good line. My worry would be here now is that if Aron

Sherriff does play a shot to nothing, couple of yards on that

plant, he could get a result. He could hit his own bowl onto the blue

bowl to do more of it. -- to remove it. He can afford to drop the one

Mac. He could drop the one Mac. He was playing for that. That was

the intention. Good shot put -- good shot to play. He will know that.

There are two Mac stages to the shot. Will he get it? He did not. He

wanted to come in off the blue bowl and come back in. If you have not

played a shot, fine. Second, make sure you do not do yourself any

damage. He has to wait for the confirmation which he gets. Double

figures now for Sam Tolchard. Sam bowl in the background and cheers in

the background because Darren Burnett has picked up another round.

He has turned that one around. It's insane that bowl. That is good.

Sam Tolchard was looking to banish his daily nightmare.

-- his Delhi nightmare. Of course, he beat Robert Weale in

the group stages in Delhi and then lost to him in the semifinal.

Lost a tie-break in the last end for the bronze against Kelly.

Two good bowls here. I just wonder whether Aron might

attack this. Big drive. The first big drive we

have seen. Gets it clean, you will get fat on

the re-spot now, I think. Well, that was accurate, it was on

all the way. It was laser-like. The jack bike on the re-spot is

Asian, two metres, that is one to Australia. -- the re-pot died

Michael re-spot position. -- the Jack is back on the re-spot

position. Sam Tolchard, just looking to

replace this. He has aligned to get the shot.

It just looks like he has the wait to get the shot, as well.

Yes, just about. On a full length Jack Sam

has won that particular contest. A good end of bowls. What we would

expect from these players. That was quite funny that Aron

Sherriff was waving his arms around at his last bowl.

I don't think it too impressed. He was not happy with himself. I think

the wind caught it, as well. 14 - 11, Aron Sherriff needs. Still all

to play for. It could be very frustrating in

windy conditions. It is a bit like golf, I suppose, Paul.

That is right, you play the shot to compensate for the wind blowing and

it suddenly drops come you think you have just waited to the perfect time

when the wind stops blowing. I played a game at my local club at

the start of this season. We play near the seafront

the start of this season. We play the start of the game! We were

taking a run up to try and get the bowl up the green.

We have got no cover whatsoever, and when the wind blows it is difficult.

But, such is life. That is the beauty of outdoor bowls. You have to

retain your sense of humour. Yes, you have no choice.

At one of the Scottish football grounds, I think it is at Arbroath,

on certain days the water comes up over the terrace and you can get

soaked. You are right on the coast. Apocryphal tales of fish arriving

over the walls, as well. That is not too bad, go to the

football and get a fish supper! Three good length bowls. I can see a

difficulty of them getting back to centre.

Now, Sam. Get off that line, it is still hanging isn't it? You can see

the old just will not get back, Paul. It is so frustrating for these

players. -- you can see the bowl will not get back.

Three good bowls in terms of weight. That is a similar line from Aron. He

has to just get his bowl, I think. That is another one.

It looks like two to Australia. This is not an easy save, really, gaps on

each side of the Jack. He has to play it with good weight.

The weight has just been hanging out.

Well, he looks outside the line to me.

Well, you could throw a blanket over the four bowls, they are that close

together. He is going to be frustrated here

because Aron can just drop this in to take the gamble. -- take the

treble. This is a good line. This is a very

good line. He does not want too much on the Jack.

He was overweight. A good thing he did not get a nip on the Jack then.

Two shots to Aron Sherriff. It is the biggest gap between the

two players in the match so far, Aron Sherriff leading by 16-11.

Well, one thing these two players have in common, John come is the

fact they both started at a very early age.

Even back in, I think it was 2001, one or two of the newspapers were

already starting to write about Sam Tolchard. He would have been around

12 or 13 at that particular time. He was identified in 2004 again as one

of the players for the future. It does not always work out, but he has

shown the dedication and simple talent, as well. A little Aussie

wave here. Aron Sherriff, as the saying goes, they used to have to

drag him off the Bowling Green at night as a kid as the weather came

in and darkness fell. Hours of practice and dedication to

their sport from these two athletes.

Yes, and of course some has a cricketing -- Sam has a cricketing

family background, Jeff and Roger. Roger was a well-known player for

Leicester, I think. Salmon could have gone in another direction.

Yes, his dad was a cricketer, as well, he was the skipper in the main

counties Championship. Cricket is in Aron Sherriff's DNA,

as well, as it is for most Aussies. Two great bowls from these players.

Conditions are not easy now. Swirling winds.

If it had gone the other way, you never know, Aron Sherriff could have

been running into bowl at Sam in a Test match!

Years going to look at that split. He can afford to reach this. Will

you hold the line? He has not really played enough at

it. Sam might leave this alone and just

come round, get somewhere in that triangle of bowls. There is a little

shot on just to jam onto the blue bowls and spring the Jack.

Robert Weale is still toiling a little bit on the other rink. He has

to win by a few shots, he is 17-14 up at the moment. Still life in that

game. Sam is on the wide line, that

suggests he is going past the Jack here, which is a sensible bowl. Very

good. Now, will you risk a little bit more

weight on this, I wonder? I think it is worth it. Just to

disturb it slightly. His opponent does not last bowl, but shots

against. Well, I cannot see Sam getting

another bowl in there, to be honest. I cannot see him drawing

another shot. He is giving it a lot of thought,

weighing up the pros and cons. If he wants to get a cut on his own blue,

it would just be a little heavy and spring it out. I think he will try

this, but with the canniest of weight.

The last ten shots of Sam Tolchard, all singles.

Just cannot seem to find a way to get that two or three which would

really aid him. Yes, but at least he is scoring the

ends. This section can be so tight. Robert Weale has just moved 19-14

ahead now. If he did win that 20-14, he would

only be a maximum of plus 11. Whoever wins this game, they have to

keep it tight. If you lose, don't lose too many shots.

It is tight for Darren Burnett in the other section, as well, 17-16

now to Darren. This is a good opener for weight.

Just cannot get back to centre, Sam.

I was actually wondering if he would open up on the other side just to

try something a little different. That is another good opener, Aron

Sherriff is just beating him to the opening temp want -- the opening

bowls at the moment. Just seems to be tracking. It will

come in late now, good weight. You're comes Aron Sherriff, he has

found that slightly higher line, as well. Sam Tolchard's bowls have been

attracted to that. A very fine line between them

hanging out and just turning in. The concentration and determination on

the face of Sam Tolchard. He has come inside the line this time. Is

he going to push the bowl through or not it over? That just makes it

harder. It certainly does. Still in a good

position. They three bowls are just behind the black.

That was a good shot. That is pretty good. That was a good bowl. That was

a bonus. You can see the perfect delivery for Sam on this end. If he

can get the jack, using 18 inches of weight, very difficult on the side.

It is drifting away. That is how difficult it is to get to the centre

line to get to the jack. Second shot.

You can sense the frustration for Sam Tolchard. He is not out of it.

He has not played badly. That was a good length of bowl. That looks like

two. I think it is two. APPLAUSE

It does seem that Darren 's bowl is standing up better on that side. He

does not go across quite as far. He held at 42nd. -- he held it for a

second. Good crowd here at Kelvingrove despite the less than

tropical weather. It is being a difficult morning all

across the greens. The favourites in certain matches appear to be

struggling. That was a better opener from Sam Tolchard.

He has got to the jack. Where is it going? He looks to the heavens. The

clouds that he sees will match mood. -- will match his mood.

That was good again. Very good. His manager like that. There we are. It

is a koala bear. The Australian mascot. It is very cute. That was a

really good bowl. That is the line that Sam would be coming in on. I

wonder if some will switch now. Even the koala bear is happy with that.

He looks like he is well fed. Eucalyptus trees. We nor our

wildlife. I would not push it much farther than that. I once kept a

rabbit. I have not seen too many heavy shots. It has not been that

kind of game. One good strike does stand out. He is going to play on

his own bowl here. He is very close. He got the inside of it. My goodness

me. He was close to that. He certainly was. Has he done any

damage? It is difficult to see from the angle we are at.

They are having a good look at that. He was very unlucky. He could easily

had had a good connection. No indication yet who is holding. I

think you have to take your pick out of that.

I have just spotted over our shoulder the presence of the

Australian manager. He is watching from the television position. It is

no surprise that the umpire has been called here. It is close. He is

getting the calipers out. You need a steady hand for this. You cannot

have a heavy Saturday night if you are doing this job. Steady as can

be. The wind is blowing so it is not easy for the umpire. The bowl of Sam

Tolchard takes the shot. He is a popular Australian. What a player.

He is in connection with his mobile phone and the microphone. He is

chatting to the coaching staff. I think he is bringing his bookmaker.

I am only joking. -- ringing. He is a really nice guy.

The game with Wales is now 19-18. He is making hard work of that. He has

to get over the line. That is good news for both of the player is

playing here. They are both perfect two out of two.

We will keep you up-to-date with what is happening on the other

rinks. Scotland have just dropped to four. He was 19-16 up. He now trails

the Namibian, 20-19. Some will reach this. Anything on

the jack is good. -- Sam. You could see he played that extra bit of

weight. He executed that perfectly. That was a good bowl. That is the

same line. It got a touch back. It is not good enough.

He is on the line again. Good weight on it. That had another good role.

-- roll. He is lying well but there's a little chance here. He has

to play through this. He clears the bowls if he gets the jack

breakthrough. He is going for it. Very good result. It will reduce the

count to one. He has not played with weight too often but when he has it

has been accurate. It was a good strike. Job done.

It is a better result for Robert is Sam Tolchard is going to win this

match. I do not know who he is playing tonight. Sam Tolchard is --

has got the easier task, he is playing the man from Kenya. To be

fair to him, he took Aron Sherriff pretty close, 21-17. The Welshman

will be supporting Sam Tolchard here out of interest -- self-interest.

Darren Burnett of Scotland on the rink next door has won the bowl to

play. Another good bowl from Sam Tolchard. He is starting to come on

strong, Sam. Good line by Aron, he needs the bowl

on the Jack. That is very well played.

Well, Darren Burnett has lost, saw another one of the favourites to go

far has been pulled down by Will Esterhuizen of the media. --

Namibia. You made a good point on the match we were watching, John,

that Sam Tolchard is starting to gone on to the game and in that part

of the match when he was trying to hold on in there, he was giving

himself a chance. Yes, but that third bowl was not

good. You will pay the price. He did not want that touch, really. He has

got in a good position, but Aron would have preferred to bring that

Jack through. Just trying to reach through this.

It is just hanging. You can see it just holding away.

It is all happening this morning. The referee has just taken a tumble

in all the excitement! E has actually hurt himself as well.

He stepped back into the ditch and lost footing.

There is Aron Sherriff, just too far, I think.

He is OK, years on his feet are having a smile.

That looks like a single shot. Yes, one shot.

Well, he is close to the finish line, Sam Tolchard, he will fight

him all the way. In the background you can see the

bowls is Robert Weale. Just having a glance over.

Yes, if Aron does close this out it could mean that Robert would not

only have to win the game against Aron, he would have to win by a few

shots. Winning is not a problem, sometimes if you have to go for a

game it is not quite as easy to win by ten or 11.

If he was to close it out here at this particular end and move on to a

shots differential of 28, Robert Weale is currently plus seven. Yes,

difference of 21. So you are looking at 21-9.

That is a difference to winning a game. Whatever happens on this match

here is a vital to Robert Weale, the defending champion's chances.

One, if Sam Tolchard is going to go down, he will want to take it all

the way to the wire, not as many shots off. That is not something

Aron Sherriff will be thinking at the moment, or Sam Tolchard, they

are just battling for the wind. Philip -- win.

Sam is probably in the better position, not to be disrespectful to

the Kenyan, Sam is probably favourite to win it. It is very

interesting, this group. That is a good shot. Still a bit

unlucky, still one down. He needs to hold with this to count.

Still room there. Aron, a decent line. Has he pushed

through with this? Will he run? Doubtful.

From our own goal, you would still see two England. You can never tell.

It looks a bit different on the It looks a bit different on the

rings. It does! That is what they are there for.

Certainly from our wrangling the commentary position can it looked

better for Sam Tolchard. Yes, Aron Sherriff's bowl has just

fallen back. That will make a difference.

Yes, it looked like three. Welcome it looked like three from here, but

the angles are a little different. That calls for the umpire.

Yes, I think it was close before the Aaron Sheriff bowl fell back. I

think before that he had his chance. I am not quite certain now. He could

still be in with a chance but that was definitely the bowl, the shot

bowl. Yes, a mistake from the Englishman

there, putting that in. Maybe three?

It is three. What a difference that little belly flop made.

Game on. Yes, 19-17. They are plain 25

endless. Well, it is taken to the 25th end

for Sam Tolchard to score more than two in an end. -- it has taken.

Rating a run of 12 consecutive singles for him, when he has scored.

Still some intriguing Games to come here at Kelvingrove later today.

Darren Burnett Scotland will go back into action having lost. Aron

Sherriff against Robert Weale of Wales will be tasty. Australia and

New Zealand go head to head in the fours. That will be a cracker.

That will be one to see. And you can see you there. It is one

of the television Games from Kelvingrove, looking forward to it,

John. Yes. You can make a cup of tea, get your biscuits out, pick

your feet up and enjoy the bowls. Really good opening bowl from the

Aussie, Sam Tolchard, he has played under the line.

Yes, to loose deliveries, he did not want to do that then coming he got

back and then you has played two loose bowls.

On his own Jack Lang. -- Jack length.

That looked PC. -- pacey. Sam needs good weight on this. He is

shuffling the bowl, the Jack is good.

Certainly playing about inside line, looking to arrive. That is the

problem, just overweight and you miss the line. He has just played

that too keen. They would have been drawing at that stage, I think.

Yes, the draw shot was certainly available, but it has not been

overly comfortable. He knew pretty early that that was

not getting anywhere with that. He is lying one. Can he move Sam

Tolchard's bowl and stay in its place for the game?

Will he attempt it? Yes playing off the other side. That

looks inside the line. I don't think he was that keen. Probably right in

the conditions, not an easy shot. Take the one and run.

You cannot blame him for doing so. Well, there was a little chance to

close it out. But these really have been tricky, trying, testing

conditions for the players. Aron Sherriff has just one shot.

If he closes it out there, the short distance is 25 -- shot distance, and

Robert Weale is plus seven. Yes, Sam Tolchard would be left with

plus 17 but with an easier game to come, so it is all very, very

interesting. But every shot that Sam Tolchard

takes here makes Robert Weale's life a little bit easier. It is hard

enough to try and beat someone like Aron Sherriff, with all his

experience and all his titles, let alone having to set yourself up

particular target. -- a particular target.

It is pretty clear what ever happens, if Sam does lose this he

just has to win the game tonight and he is probably

just has to win the game tonight and shots difference.

That is a good bowl by Aron. That will take some beating.

he comes, Sam Tolchard. Round the corner. What a shot! Under great

pressure. Some delivery. Carbon copy required. He has got a good line. It

will not come back. It looked OK from the commentary position.

Be it appears to be a bit of a game happening with New Zealand as well.

It seems like it has been won with a three on the last end, 21-20. To be

conformed. That was an escape if that was the case. New Zealand have

managed to get over the line despite struggling greatly. There is action

all across the greens here at Kelvingrove. Fascinating stuff.

all across the greens here at is playing the blocker to try to

protect the blue bowl. That was a good choice. He could not play to

it. Will he play this underneath to try to flick the blue bowl away? It

is a harder shot than the one he had that the previous end.

is a harder shot than the one he had that If he gets his own front bowl

solid, he could get it into the blue and then onto the jack decisions,

decisions. He has made his mind up. Controlled weight. Looking for his

own bowl. If he is under it he is close. It could not get under that

bowl. Half of the bowl line. He does not want to move his own

bowl away. It is a safe line. Don't think he was too bothered. He

gave it a little try. He kept it safe. This has been a long game. It

is about ten minutes to the Horden. They should finish the game. It

could be touch and go. Just over 12 minutes to go.

You really think about the time limit when it comes to the singles

matches. This match is the longest on the green. All of the others have

finished within the time limit. If we fail to have a winner on 21, it

would be the first of the competition.

This is a new tactic in this match. If you play that, you have to get it

right. It is solid. That Scottish gentleman just

wandered into the shot. Not a bad bowl. It was a back bowl. You would

want something right on top. It has a wee chance that it falls

backwards. It is not enough. It is still England's shot.

Did not quite reach it. He's had a few opportunities to close this out

and he needs to take them. He does have the advantage of last bowl. He

will have to pop this on the top. The line looks good, it is all about

weight now. I think he has just run through again. There's not a lot in

that though. You would certainly measure that at this stage of the

game. He can see the funny side. You actually had a shot that was not

measured yesterday because it was so close. It is not unusual when the

caliper is used but it is slightly unusual when you use the box method.

Two other games have finished and that is why the Sun has popped its

head out. He is playing overweight and he is looking for the bowl. It

is close to play that sort of weight. He has played it to the way

decided. He did not want to get the jack with his own bowl.

Last bowl. I think it is a measure at the moment but he has got room to

draw it. I think it was a brave shot by Sam Tolchard. Will a measure be

required? It could be rendered academic with this final bowl. It is

a last -- it is a nice line. What a line in this is. It has a chance. I

think that is the winning shot. The winning shot for Australia. It was

some battle between the Australian and the man from England. He has

found his way over the line in the end. Both men had chances to close

it out. It is Aron Sherriff who finds a way through. Epic game. 28

ends between England and Australia. Vic for Aron Sherriff and he will

progress to the stages. Vic today for Aron Sherriff.

It was a pretty good contest in tricky conditions. Both players

struggled early to find the way. In tricky conditions. Both players got

good weight. It was hard to nail the line in the middle of the brink.

Good early drawing from post players. The conditions worsened and

got blustery. Aron Sherriff knew if he could win this one then they

would be favoured to go through. It will still be pretty tight between

the top three players in the group. Struggled at times, some cultured,

but he kept himself in the game with a gritty performance. Sensible play,

he kept it very tight. He knew that a close defeat was not fatal. I

always felt this would go to the wire. They did not give advantage to

either player. That was a good last bowl. It was good enough. That is

one that clinched it. Joy for Australian team. Aron Sherriff just

over the line at Kelvingrove. It was a tough one against Sam Tolchard. He

has got a difficult one this afternoon as well. He wins this by

21 - 18. Entertaining match. Australia topping England.

Great victory for Australia. We have got some great guests coming up

including Sir Steve Redgrave. got some great guests coming up

including Sir He is in use. -- The atmosphere,

Yes, at Strathclyde Park in 1986. There are some pictures of me doing

that. I did not think they had cameras in those days. There you

are. Very special. Singles title. I had more hair then. Do the memories

flood back? It was a very special year for me. I became Olympic

champion two years before. 1985 was a bad season as I had a back injury

and I nearly gave up the sport. What inspired me to get -- to keep going

was the title at the Edinburgh games. As it turned out, I did three

events and won them all. I won the World Championships two weeks later

in Nottingham. You are the reigning champion because it has not been

back. How much would you like to see it back? Good question. It is the

only title that I have left out of all of the races that I have had in

my career. Part of me says do not bring it back at all. It should be a

Commonwealth Games sport. Great Britain is a top rowing nation, New

Zealand second, Canada fourth,. Countries like India, Sri Lanka, are

up-and-coming countries. It should be a sport that we see not on a

regular basis, it is expensive to put a venue on and if you do not

have a venue, but were Strathclyde Park here and also the Gold Coast,

there are only two venues where they could have the sport. Have you had a

chance to come and have a look around? I was in Turkey last week so

I have watched a lot of sport. I had a business meeting and then I came

up on Monday lunch time. I have seen athletics, hockey, squash, wrestling

and swimming last night. Getting quite a lot in. I am here right

until the closing ceremony. You have been talking with Matthew, he has

been very busy for hours, about everything to do with rowing. It was

an incredible reception. The tent was packed. What is the situation

with rowing in the UK at the moment? We have had our domestic budget cut

slightly because of less people doing the sport, which I find

difficult to understand. Every rowing club in the country has a

waiting list of people to try the sport. Especially since the success

on the BBC, showing the World Championship and we are getting

better results in year on year. It is in a very healthy state. The

Scottish National Centre at Strathclyde Park are doing very

well. The national team is doing extremely well and there is a

buoyant domestic circuit as well. You are getting a very mixed

audience and that is what the Commonwealth Games does as well. A

knowledgeable fan who takes the time to go to all of the sports and they

are very enthusiast egg. It doesn't take much to get people hooked. --

enthusiastic fan. I want to get the sport involved on a regular basis.

It doesn't come around often but it does give you a platform of showing

off your wares in a multisport environment. That is pretty

important. You have got sports like bowls and netball and squash where

this is their biggest high profile sporting event. What are you going

to do next? I am at athletics to light. I might be going to the

village this afternoon to have a look around. -- tonight. Hopefully,

I will be having a look at the facilities and meeting some of the

athletes. Is this out of interest or business and consultancy? I am here

as ambassador to the English team. Most of that is guiding VIPs

around, potential sponsors and sponsors of team England, supporting

our athletes and hoping that they are going to squeeze past Australia

in the medals table. Thank you very much. I know you are busy. It has

been great to see you. One of the sports we have not seen a lot of is

table tennis. We are going to see the mixed team event. This is the

third game, Trinidad are leading two - zero. Wales are wearing a

uncharacteristic dream. -- uncharacteristic green.

COMMENTATOR: A really positive run of play for Everton Philips. A must

win game for the pair from Wales. Best of five match.

win game for the pair from Wales. wonderful shot from Philips. The

Welsh pair are widening their lead. Unlucky in that last point, the

Wales team. They lead 7-3. Trinidad narrowing the margin. Again, a very

positive attack from Phillips. Ho! Scorching shot from Humphreys.

A pressure situation here for the Wales team, fighting to try to stay

in the match. Edwards and Phillips now with two

game points. A bit unlucky for Phillips and

Edwards here. The net intervening. Still game point. And they will take

it. They take the third Game 11-9. It is still Humphreys and Quashie

leading 2-1. Some lovely depth into the body of

Conor Edwards. Maybe a feud to many options. -- a few too many.

Great job from the Welsh duo. Keeping their opponents off-balance.

Straight into the body of Quashie. The returning of Phillips has really

improved throughout this match. Couldn't get quite enough height on

the top-spin. Black level. -- back level.

Great comeback. From the Welsh partnership. Now leading 7-4. Four

consecutive points to Edwards and Phillips. Closing in on this game.

Six game points for the Welsh team. They have taken six consecutive

points. And they keep up the momentum. Two games all.

Tricky shot from Edwards. It is the deciding game.

Time out after losing those first three points of the deciding game

very quickly. Trinidad and Tobago do not want this to get away from them.

Just needed to get back to the corner. To get his head right.

Curtis Humphreys. See whether it makes a difference for him and his

partner. outmanoeuvring their opponents -

keeping them off balance. That is going to make Curtis

Humphreys feel a lot better, success for the forehand top spin. The big

wind up. They can't string the points together at the moment.

A wonderful slice on the serve from Phillips. Just mixed the length of

it up very nicely. And always with a lot of work on it.

Now things getting very tight out here and they have called a

time-out. Three consecutive points going against his players.

A massive point that one. The Welsh team two points from victory.

Three match points for Edwards and Phillips.

And there it is - Edwards and Phillips taking it in five games.

They came from 2-0 down. What a come back. All credit to them. Excellent

result for the youngsters from Wales. Connor Edward and Angha had

Phillips taking it. A very young pairing, 20 and 17 years old. We

have stepped out and it is very windy. In terms of Team Scotland,

the home crowd have been supporting them all the way in every sport. But

today they have had their allegiances divided in the

wrestling. They're not guaranteed a medal Scotland. One will progress

with the chance. When you train with each other you

know the others styles and it makes it difficult to do moves, because

they know what your moves are. Hawke is in the blue.

A bit of control. Got the two on one. No activity, the referee stops

them. It is looking for the ankles, but

not quite getting them. The referee's warning them Clason

needs to attack. Going for the throw. Going to the edge of the mat

as well. And down the way. An attempted draw on the edge of the

mat. The first points scored. From the referee. And the first points

scored is by Jane Clason. The referee's warning Hawke. She

goes for a double drive and driving. A good counter. Almost from Clason.

No points scored. Nothing. It is a tough match. There is not much in

these two at all. The referees not watching the mat. He has given two

and two more. Two for Hawke in the blue. The referee is looking over to

the side. The wrestling is going on and he seemed not aware at that

point. So it is 4-1. They will take down two for the turn. 30 seconds of

this first period to go. Hawke in the blue. Two Scots

fighters. You need to... Oh there is a defence. The front head lock

position. That will be the end of this first period. You said, John,

two fighters who know each other well. They're likely to have a

close, gritty contest. That is what we got. That one moment from Hawke

where she got the two quick scores. A bit of quality with the double

leg. It was an attempted throw and it was stopped. There was there was

a gut-wrench to the side and the back is being exposed there as you

will see. As they come back again. She goes again. And they're quickly

back out. A brief 30 second break. You know you're getting old when

people have Tom Daley listed as their hero. They're looking for the

leg. The two on one. A good position, Hawke's head is in the

side. It is hard to score with somebody in a tight position.

She is setting up. Good defence from Hawke. She knows it is coming and is

ready for it. The referee has given the take down. Two more. Hawke leads

6-1. Just over two minutes to go. I am sure if you're going to lose

you would rather lose to a friend and colleague. But it will be a blow

to Clason if she loses to the younger fighter. The crowd are very

quiet. They don't want to show any bias. There is another take down for

another two points. A difficult one for the coaches as well. Clason

still has got that throw in her. But at 10-1 it is going to be a long way

back. One more score for Hawke now would do it. Back into the middle

they go. A minute and a half of the fight scheduled. If we get that far.

Clason needs the pin. She needs to go from a throw to a pin. Good

counter by Hawke and she is going for the pin herself. She has got it.

Victory for Shannon Hawke. It was a convincing victory as well. That was

a spectacular end. A great performance by Hawke. That is the

first Scottish victory we have seen in this match so far. The home crowd

now wave their flags. A very good performance from Shannon Hawke. She

has been wrestling for a long time as a junior and a great first match

for the seniors. She drives. They were going for the three, but it was

a nice counter and into the pin. Clason being the offensive fighter.

Excellent technique though by Shannon Hawke and she is the victor.

So much sport happening around at the Commonwealth Games today wif

come in -- we have come in for shelter and we have been asking you

to send in your common Commonwelfies. The first we can show

you is Jonathan, who is at the badminton. And next Dame Kelly

Holmes got involved, snapping the Breakfast presenters. Becky has

grabbed England's 1,500 silver medallist on her lap of honour.

Robin and her friend take one at the athletics at Hampden Park. Well,

look at the work that this couple have put in. Kenneth and Carmel. Eus

about -- tell us about the face int paint. We were at the station and a

woman said you look as if you need your face painted. It is typical

Scottish - Glasgow people are tremendous. All the time. They're

the best people in the world. And we have provided the best sports in the

world. Everybody's enjoying themselves. It is wonderful.

Absolutely wonderful. It was fantastic when the sun was out b I

the atmosphere hasn't changed. Is this your first day here? We were

lucky enough to be offered a complimentary ticket for the

rehearsal for the opening games on the wet Saturday, which we enjoyed.

Very colourful and we are out for another fun day. What are you going

to see? The badminton tonight. But we have had fun so far. I have got a

recipe for a Commonwealth Games recipe, a Scottish Commonwealth

celebration porridge. This sounds great. The crew are getting their

pen and paper out. What is in it? We have had a family wedding recently.

And when we have celebration I have my normal porridge but you add

honey, then you add whisky, then you add double cream and then you top it

up with local strawberries. Oh, my goodness. You had that for

breakfast? Yes, as a celebration. All of them! I am not sure if that

is the food of athletes, heading to the badminton, anything else today?

We will go with the flow. I played badminton myself for over 20 years.

So I only retired when I was 50. So I'm very keen on badminton. I still

play, I beat my son recently. Not very keen about it. He wasn't very

happy about it. But I just He beats him at golf. I have always been

sporty, keep myself fit. This is a great day for everybody and it is

nice to see some smiling faces. It is nice to see and mine I have a

smiling face and it is lovely to see painted faces. Thank you for your

company. Now, if you come with me, you can see the map, the poetry post

cards. People have been coming from far and wide to see the Commonwealth

Games. It was always going to be a fascinating battle this morning in

the hockey, we will join it when they were locked together on six

points. England only needed a draw to finish as the pool runners-up.

points. England only needed a draw That would mean a place in the next

round against 2010 runners-up New Zealand. COMMENTATOR: Scotland in

all blue from left to right. England in their white tops, red skirt and

read socks. Playing for a place in the semifinals. It sounds like there

is a piper in the Glasgow National Hockey Centre. Flower of Scotland is

echoing around as the stadium begins to fill. Davies, all the way back

for Scotland. A bit of relief for Scotland for Scotland. Danson heads

towards goal. What a goal. Alex Danson. Fantastic ball from Nick

Wright. A great leave from Laura Unsworth to open up the channel.

Danson spins beautifully and gets the ball off the ground with a few

3-D skills. It makes it easier for her to get the stick underneath the

ball. Great start for England. This is a great scoring opportunity. What

a chance to equalise. Unsworth down the centre. England charging forward

looking for a penalty corner. That is what they have got. England have

got a number of options. Richardson Walsh on the sidelines is not one of

them. It is Gilbert to inject. Susie Gilbert will inject. Scotland lose a

defender because they were not ready within 40 seconds. One of the

defenders has to go behind the halfway line. She got a dream card

so she should be sat off. Now she is coming off. Unsworth. Still bouncing

around. Dangerous for Scotland. And it is in. England get a second goal.

Susanna Townsend scores it. England need 2-0. It is Unsworth off the

top. Great running initially. Scotland are going to feel hard done

by by the corner and by Ralph getting the Greenham card. --

Greenham great running by Emily Waterman.

Davies has sprinted on to join the attacking formation. Wiley will

inject again. Here is the shot. It is a goal for Scotland. Nikki Kidd

scores. Scotland's hopes are alive. A terrific drag back. Maddie Hinch

has her weight or wrong in goal. She is falling backwards. Scotland have

worked so hard on this set play routine. It is exactly the boost

that they need just before half-time. Danson steals it from

nearly. When his Davies going to nearly. When his Davies going to

realise not to take Alex Danson off one-on-one. It is about the fourth

time she has been picked off. It is a cheeky effort from Danson. Another

penalty corner for Scotland. They get what they planned but not the

goal. It is Wiley on the deflection. She has come in from the inject or

post. Just too much of a touch on it. Wiley did well. Scotland

menacing the England goal. To the edge of the circle. They get a

penalty corner. Now, we have seen a couple of interesting moves from the

penalty corner in the second half. Can Scotland make this one account?

-- this one account. It falls to Kidd for the flick. Scotland with a

free hit, all the way down to the corner. Into the circle. Scotland

term, Scotland with a shot. It is saved, it is cleared. They get a

penalty corner. Ralph and Kidd poised. Penalty corner, saved.

Straight down the middle from Kidd. She is going to be disappointed. The

crowd will reluctantly join in the countdown for the final ten seconds.

It is all over. England have defeated Scotland by 2-1. They take

their place in the Commonwealth Games semifinals. Scotland gave

everything. They had a magnificent second-half but were unable to get

the two goals required. A fantastic match here. The final result

Scotland 1-2 England. A good result for England, commiserations to

Scotland. This is the youngest member of team Heatley. Peter

Heatley is the only Scottish athlete to have ever one three consecutive

gold medals at a Commonwealth Games. This is his great-grandson. His

other grandson has been diving this morning. James Heatly is through to

the final of the one metre men's springboard. All of England's and

Scotland's representatives are through to the final. Jack Law is

also through. That is on tonight. Finley, you milk it. Enjoy your

moment. Before we get to that, we have Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow.

In the synchronised ten metres this morning. They have a chance of a

gold-medal. Let's hope that they can do it. COMMENTATOR: A very strong

field. The pairs have done very well in the World Series. Probably the

favourites. Meaghan Benfeito And Roseline Filion are probably the

favourites. Now the English pairing of Sarah Barrow and Tonia Couch. Two

silver medals in the World Series this year. In Canada and in London.

Don't discount the Australians who have been competing a lot on the

Grand Prix circuit. It is really wide open. Would you agree that the

Canadian pair are the favourites? I am not going to go in on this one.

In the World Cup in Shanghai a week and a half ago. The Chinese were the

clear winners, followed by Malaysian and then Canada and Great Britain.

Great Britain now translates to England with Sarah Barrow and Tonia

Couch. This is a high-quality field. The medals could go to anyone in any

position. I have no idea where it is going to go. It is a straight final,

two rounds of required dives with limited degrees of difficulty. And

then open rounds. Every single dive counts. If you make a mistake, you

are off the podium. The last time that Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow

competed, they got second place in London. They could hopefully go a

set better. Equalling what they did. The explanation of how the judging

works. You have two sets of judges. The synchronisation judges and the

execution judges. The execution judges are specifically marking the

execution of the Diver close this to them. The remaining judges are

looking specifically at the synchronisation. It is a fine detail

how it is calculated. You get execution marks and synchronisation

marks. They are lumped together and multiplied by the degree of

difficulty to give you the total. It sounds more complicated than it is.

It will make more sense as it goes on. The athletes in their area to

watch this, which will be an exciting first medal event of the

diving. There is Jack Law and Chris Spaers catch -- Spears catching up

on social media. This is going to be close. I don't know which way this

will go. I would normal put my predictions out there. But I'm going

to stay completely I don't know. Paul not going to take one side or

another. Benfeito will go first. And then the first of the Malaysian

pairs. She has just turned 146789 Sarah Barrow and Tonia Couch will go

number 4. -- just turned 14. They have been doing the Grand Prix

circuit. They have been trawling around the Grand Prix circuit. This

is why this contest will be so exciting, because some of the pairs

haven't met each other on the world series. The only thing we have got

to go from is the Shanghai World Cup two weeks ago and who topped that

apart from the Chinese were the Malaysian pair of Jun and Munn. You

have a weather of experience with the Canadian pair. They get to open

this competition and put the pressure on the other girls. So

let's see how people react. The English team's plane had to abort in

Siberia on their way back from Shanghai. They were hoping to be

back two or three days earlier and were held over in Siberia. Yes,

speaking to the team, I didn't realise how serious it was. I was

being flippant chatting to them, they were saying, actually it was

pretty scary and the people, the staff on the plane, yeah, were very

scared as well. But everyone was safe and sound the airline did a

great job of getting them back. So everyone's bedded in now, readjusted

to the time zone. There is a few sleepy people, but most of them have

been in Shanghai. So everyone's had the same lead in to this. It didn't

affect Jack Law. Yes, he was on fire this morning. Let's see how these

girls find it. It is a straight final. Unlike the guys this morning

where they were in prehim moed, this -- mode, this matters from the get

go. So much judges, it takes them a while to get into place. I think I

have asked you this before, why is the women's five rounds and the

men's six? Yeah, OK, imoo not entirely sure why. But the men do

six and the women do five in the individual and they try to keep the

same ratio if you like. Is it like tennis where you have three sets for

women and five for men? I would say it is like that. We can talk, I am

sure the girls would like to do more. You ask them. You steam to

think the girls would want to do the same as a men, but at the moment the

restrictions are they do five rounds and not six. That's right. When we

won our Olympic medal in Athens it was only five rounds in the mens and

they decided to up it. The rules and regular Gages have been deemed

appropriate for the contest. Just to outline, we seem to have a technical

problem, we were supposed to be starting now. But there is a

technical complexity they need to overcome. The first two rounds will

be the same degree of difficulty. They won't be the same dive. They

will change around. Like the Ca Nade yards will start with ininward dive

and then we will see reverse dives in the second round the Canadians do

their reverse dives and there is a back dive from everyone else. So

there is a bit of variety. Whatever you do in the first two rounds has a

limited degree of difficulty of 2.0. You could do a dive that is 1.2 or

2.4, but you would get 2.0. These are the limited degree of difficulty

rounds. What you're doing, you won't see much change in the leader boord,

but it is nice to have your nose in front and get into the competition.

In my opinion, it is important, because these are the most beautiful

dives when you see and the competition starts, they're the

elegant dives. It what is diving used to be like, where you're doing

simple movements and the final three rounds are the chunky rounds, the

big dives come out, the 3.0and the 3.2, these are the hardest wuvens.

And sometimes mistakes happen. So it is a nice mix in the competition. To

have those required dives in there. They got rid of them from the

individual competitions in the Commonwealth Games in Manchester. I

remember doing the required dives in the morning and the optional dives

in the evening. So I'm pleased they're keeping them in for the

contest throughout the world now. Now, not only is this a pressure

cooker any way, but yo got delays. This can play with your mind. What

doo we do, do we sit down and put our music on. Do we do a practice

dive? The pair of are walking down the stairs, because they're not

going to be going any time soon. It is a long way up and a long way

down. You can't really get their quickly. If the referee says we're

on and you're still in the shower getting prepared, you have got to

regular it -- leg it up the steps. We will listen to the officials

deciding what they're going to do. You can't run a diving competition

unless the score board is working. And I believe that is what they're

waiting for. We have had one competition with one set of pads for

the normal judging. But they need to separate them out here and we have

the execution and the synchro judges and they're having a problem sorting

out the pads. The pads on one side don't seem to be working. The judges

have to wear their outfits, they're boiling, it is very warm here. It is

going to be a very good crowd. Certainly for the evening sessions

and if you're looking to get tickets, there are still a few for

sessions here in Edinburgh. Not many. Go on the Commonwealth Games

web-site. There are a few tickets for the sessions. You must have been

in this position before, same competition for the men, what do you

do in is in situation? That is the challenge. You have had weather

interruptions. This is a delay before the competition gets juntd

way. -- under way. So you come down from the boards, xeep warm and --

keep warm and run through what you need to run through. Make sure your

attention is in the right place and not looking at the crowd and if your

attention goes to places where you feel the nerves coming on, then

shift it to somewhere else. It is mind games. Diving is a massive

undertaking fiscally, but mentally is where it is won and lost. The

girls will be trying to leap off at the same time, spinning off before

crashing into the water at speeds approaching 40mph. It is not for the

feint hearted and you have got to get it right. In this competition

thif got five Dave -- they have got five dives to do. If either of you

make a mess of one, you're out of it. That is mind games. That is

mental toughness at its... At its most extreme. The only 3.3 dive you

will see comes from the Canadians in Round 4. Even else will get the 2s

out of the way. The Canadians have an extra degree of difficulty. Yes,

but it is marginal. These pairs, all five, are all world class. All in

the top six in the world. You have two teams from Malaysia, which is

unusual. Usually it is one pair per nation, apart from the Commonwealth

Games. Malaysia has strength in-depth and having seen Pandelela

is an Olympic medallist. There they are. It is not the normal pairing.

No, the team Malaysia have found themselves in a position where they

have got lots of options in this event and strength in-depth. They

have elected the pairings the way they are, but who knows where they

will go for the next two years. Look at this guy from Malaysia, is that

where he is from do you think? Looking at that point, you would say

the US, but you can see the stripe. The head band says Malaysia. That

may give it away! I'm quick like that! I think, we will wait and see

if there is any action. No one is making their way up the stairs. On

the red button stick with us. We will be back in a few moments. But

we don't have any indication of when things will start. So rather than us

talk gibberish, I think... We are going to give it one more look

across to see how fared a vapsed -- advanced we are. Technically I think

there is still a few tweaks to be made. We will let you watch this for

a moment and soon as we get some action we will come back. So don't

disappear, because we won't. We will return when we see some action. See

you shortly. Sarah Barrow and Tonia Couch getting

ready. We have a technical delay. Not our fault. But this is an

opportunity to learn more about Sarah and Tonia. Two legends of the

sport, they're Britain's longest serving female pairing and they have

performed all over the world but they haven't got that major

international medal yet? If you're not in Nair fan club, here is what

you need to know. -- in their fan club. We have been partner since

2010 in diving. So we know each other well. Have I known her since

she was seven. If you don't get on, I can't match it working as well.

She brought me into the sport when she broke her arm in gymnastics. It

is exciting. It is exciting to be competing for England. She is always

laughing and joking and we train together and pull each other along.

We got two silvers and we came fifth in the wurld cup. We have been

competing with the best of the world. We have had a busy year and

looking forward to competing. We know when we are ready. We are

relaxed, but focussed in a different way. I like to be in my little

bubble. If we don't say much, I think we are too nervous. If we

talk, we see that as a good sign. We turn adrenaline into a good thing.

It helps that we have a home crowd kind of supporting us. It is a tough

competition for the women's ten metre, all the girls that competed

against us in the World Cup beat us. But we have beaten them before. If

I'm smiling, I will dive well. It depends what happens on the day. We

are all capable of beating each other. Let's hope we beat them this

time. They're waiting in the wings. They have a real chance to medal

here this morning. They're two of the names people know and love. But

one another name in the diving people who people love is Tom Daley.

He dives on Friday and Saturday. If you didn't know that much about him,

here is something else you might like to know.

Yes it is a good one. Tom Daley has done everything he can. Tom Daley,

you could not have done any more. It is out of your hands now. 2013 was a

rough year for me, riddled with injury. 2014 has come with a lot of

changes. I have moved to London, got a new coach and I'm doing new

exercises in the gym and changed a lot of my techniques and the

competitions have been going well. I got a personal best in Mexico and

came away with a silver. Now, I'm making the step between being good

to get into the excellent category. You mentioned it your personal best.

What is the difference to get that extra special score? The littlest

things make a massive difference. If I don't .1 of my toes, if I just

slightly go over the vertical, the smallest thing can make big

difference. COMMENTATOR: Tom Daley goes into the water, hardly any

splash. Get in! What was special about Commonwealth gold? The

Commonwealth Games is a massive thing on the diving calendar. To

compete in Delhi and to come away with two medals, it was fantastic. I

can't wait to get the chance to do another one. COMMENTATOR: It is not

so good. He lost it all on the take-off. Maybe the flashes put him

off. What about the Demon dive? The twister Rushton muck everybody has a

dive they are a bit scared of. For me it has always been the back

twister. I am quite optimistic that in the Commonwealth Games I will be

able to nail that dive. Have you been seeing a therapist or a

psychologist? There are so many things to talk about with a sports

psychologist. It is a crucial part of your game to be mentally in a
