BBC Three: Day 7: 19:00-22:00 Commonwealth Games

or a point deduction I wasn't going to get that. You get all your hard,

thanks for talking to us -- all you had. Paddy Barnes is coming into the

ring now and there is a huge sense of expectation in the arena.

COMMENTATOR: This is the man who has flown the flag for both Northern

Ireland and Ireland for the best part of a decade. The most

successful amateur boxer in the history of Northern Ireland's

distinguished record. This is his third Commonwealth Games, he is the

defending gold medallist from Delhi four years ago, he has a couple of

Olympic bronze medals and a European gold and silver. He has boxed at no

fewer than four World Championships. Ladies and gentlemen, introducing,

in the red corner representing Papua New Guinea, Charles Keama!

And across the ring in the blue corner, representing Northern

Ireland, Paddy Barnes! A big round of applause for Paddy

Barnes, not just from the Northern Ireland supporters but from the

Glasgow fans as well who know a world-class boxer when they see one.

The referee is from Brazil. The little fella in the blue corner

Paddy Barnes was hugely disappointed eight years ago in Melbourne when he

lost his opening contest to a boxer from Swaziland. He made his feelings

pretty well known but four years ago he took the gold medal defeating the

then defending champion in an exciting final. Barnes swept through

his opening contest against his opponent from Trinidad Tobago. His

opponent here it is a much different proposition, he is big and tall and

awkward, a southpaw. You can see the contrast in style

and size but Barnes does what he does best, he gets in and works and

works and works. Great workrate from Paddy Barnes, he has two target the

left hook. He has wobbled him straight away. He showed him the

left hook and delivered a perfect right to his chin. He was a pleasure

to watch in his opening contest, Paddy Barnes.

Watch out for the man in red, his right hand is so low, it is open to

Watch out for the man in red, his the left hook all day long. Barnes

has got to close it down and target that shot. It is his combinations as

well that are very impressive, very quick indeed.

The man from Papua New Guinea is getting a bit of a roasting here

from Paddy Barnes. Barnes covering up, his defence is

absolutely terrific. Wonderful movement from the waist, very

economic or style from the man from Belfast which has produced some

wonderful amateur boxers down the years.

His opponent has decided to stand and trade. I think he hurts him to

the body. It was a good shot. Look at Barnes, one into the ribs

and three or four in succession to the head. This is another little

masterclass from the master craftsman. What a good opening round

from Paddy Barnes. He just made mistakes at

the round, he held his feet and Barnes capitalised, switching the

attack. Just moving into range, he Barnes capitalised, switching the

caught his opponent with that right hand. The left hook was doing a lot

of damage as well. You cannot afford to make mistakes and hold your feet

like that as Barnes came back to the body. He has got all of the judges

scores. Pretty impressive opening round, as

he has produced all the way through this tournament. Paddy Barnes the

defending champion, the double Olympic gold medallist from the

first Irish Olympic gold medallist from the

successive Olympics and aiming to be the first Northern Irish boxer to

win successive gold medals. He would be the fifth Northern Irishman to

qualify for the semifinals if he be the fifth Northern Irishman to

gets through. Four years ago they finished up with five medals as

well, three gold and two silver. Would you bet against Barnes for

gold here? He has carried on how he has left off. There are more holes

in his guard, Keama. Barnes is very compact and tight and it is

difficult to get through against him. Keama's arms are a bit longer

and he creates a few openings for Barnes to land and land he does. He

is a bit leaky with his guard, the man in red. Keama having a little

more success in this second round but Barnes coming back and

more success in this second round but working into the body once

again. He seems to have all the time in the world. Punches come at him

and he eases out of the way. He could box like this all day long. He

will find the gaps in his guard, that is what he is doing. Keama

keeps changing from orthodox to southpaw, he doesn't really know

what he wants to do but he is getting caught to the body time and

again. At choppy right hand to their head and he has hurt him. We talked

about how good his left to the body was, what a great destructive little

right hand he produced. He gets him again and another, this could be

stopped, the referee will step in for a second eight. Paddy Barnes

stopped his first opponent in the opening round, the referee tells

them to carry on. I am sure one more will call the end of it. When he has

do, Paddy Barnes ups the tempo like nobody else. A bit of frustration

there. Changing tactic to stand and trade with Barnes is an awful one.

Diarra keeps getting caught. -- Keama. Barnes has several more, he

has got him again with a right hand. Keama might just survived but Barnes

has put in a blistering third minute in the second round. Terrific

display from Barnes. Just waiting for his opportunities and openings

and then taking them. His combinations were very good, they

will be more than pleased in that corner. You cannot afford to make

mistakes against this man, he will find a way through. He looked for

the opening and there it was, what a belting shot. He will work to the

body. He just slipped that shot. This was at the end of the round,

five, six, seven shots going through. It does not get any better

than that. It certainly doesn't. Such was Barnes superiority, the

judges had no option but to give both scores. The defending gold

medallist in this light flyweight division, Paddy Barnes, who has

boxed for the last international season from September until recently

in the higher division, 52 kilograms, he was rated number three

in the world in the flyweight division but now is back down to the

weight that he enjoys most. He has two Boyle himself down to 49

kilograms but Barnes in blue has been the better boxer all the way

against the man who had his moment in the second round, Charles Keama

from Papua New Guinea. What a right-hand! And Barnes raises his

hands aloft. Will the referee let it go on? He has a lot in his eyes and

there is no far-away look and back they come again. I think if Barnes

does that again, he will have to stop it. That is what happens to his

first opponent. It is the quality and accuracy that is the difference.

None of the blows from Keama are hitting the target. Barnes waits for

his opportunity and then he strikes. There you go. Keama took that one

well, he is taking them all well. Keep the head up, from the referee

to the very tired boxer from Papua New Guinea.

It has been Barnes all the way. 10-9 all judges in the first, 10-8 all

judges in the second. He has stop that. The referee has stop that.

His opponent, Charles Keama, got tired and he was just all over him.

The referee stopped the contest and ride number three. Now through to

the semifinals, in the blue corner, representing Northern Ireland,

Charles Keama! Those cold, blue, gunfighter eyes of Paddy Barnes says

it all. He did exactly what was required. Second technical knockout

in this tournament in Glasgow. He will go off and celebrate with a

nice keyboard to, that is just about all that can pass their lips at the

moment. Paddy Barnes is lined with John Denver deal. Paddy, well done!

You must be in good form at the moment? I want to get those guys out

of there as quickly as possible. There are so many cuts and injuries

going about don't want one myself. Is the fact that you're not wearing

head guards, does that make you think, if I can get this over sooner

it will lessen the risk of an accident? Yes, 100%.

it will lessen the risk of an are in there the more you are at

risk of getting a stray head-butt. They

risk of getting a stray head-butt. minimise the risk. Back

risk of getting a stray head-butt. Brother house with all the Irish

fighters! Michael Conlon said his last words to you today where I

joking you. Everything we do we do together. If I get the gold, he will

get the gold. Well done. Thank you. Congratulations to Paddy Barnes. You

can see some of the magicians warming up for the concert tonight.

Dan Walker is standing by. We have had lovely whether the whole time,

and the one-time that you hand over, look at the weather! They might

dislike the dark blue look at the weather! They might

by the end of the evening. You are going to have a nice warm evening.

Tonight we have a bit of a mix, boxing, gymnastics and athletics, as

well. We will tell you where you can watch it after the news.

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

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

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

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

This ashram of yours, it might be a cult.

Hi I'm Sam, Straight back to Glasgow after a minute from us.

The deadly Ebola epidemic is a threat to the UK.

The outbreak in West Africa has killed hundreds.

Fire crews are tackling a huge blaze on Eastbourne Pier.

Thick smoke is pouring from the historic building.

The sprinter accused journalists of creating lies to make headlines.

He's now said the games were awesome.

A new study says doing just that saves lives.

But it also suggests eating more has no extra benefit.

And this is what you call a terrifying near miss.

Two women in Indiana narrowly avoided being hit by

They laid on the tracks, but now face prosecution.

Yeah, I am looking for a Prince Charming.

I don't think I'm ugly, but I don't think I'm, like, really pretty.

I say, "You've got something on your bum." "Really?" And I say,

Good evening. Welcome once again to Glasgow. My mind is going back to

the initial meeting about covering this wonderful championship. They

said the July 2% out and about in Glasgow? I said, yes! The weather

has been fantastic, but you can see with the ponchos being worn behind

me, what the weather is like. This is what we have coming up this

evening. It is the women's all-around final tonight with the

English trio all in with a serious shout of a medal.

More medals to be won in the diving. Anthony Fowler is the worlds

highest ranked Commonwealth middleweight. He has his

quarterfinal tonight. We will bring you the start of the women's 200

metres competition. This is where you can watch all the rest of the

action tonight. BBC One has the best of the athletics, including Greg

Rutherford. We brought you loads of boxing last night and if you fancy

some more, head the red button. We will be dipping in and out of the

boxing all night. Also on the red button, and then face Barbados on

the net ball. -- Internet ball. -- in the net ball. The doubles

competition continues in the squash. You can get all the information you

need on every single sport on offer on the BBC website. You can also

find out about getting involved in the sport in your local area. They

be something that has made you think about trying out a new sport that

you have seen in our coverage. Time for our first live sport of the

evening. Staggering quality of competition in the gymnastics. We

are going back inside the Hydro. What can we expect this evening? Not

as many pieces of apparatus to night. The women to four pieces of

apparatus. The all-around competition, the top 24 gymnasts at

are split into two different groups. We have gymnasts have qualified from

12 to 224 competing at the moment. They are just starting on the third

piece of apparatus. Scotland have been having a very good show indeed.

Amy Regan is in fourth position in this pool at the moment. Emma White

is up in the fifth. Nicola Mawhinney is in seventh.

Beth, you give us the big names to watch out for the other night. Tell

us the big names we should be looking out for tonight in the

gymnastics? There are so many names. Claudia Fragapane, she led the way

for England yesterday. She qualified first. We have Hannah Whelan, Ruby

Harrold for England, Elizabeth Black for Canada. Thank you both.

Hannah Whelan, she is one of the names to look out for. Let's learn a

bit more about her. It is a great performance under

pressure by young Hannah Whelan. That was brilliant. It is one of the

most memorable things I can take away from London, the atmosphere.

When you walked out into the arena, it is something that I can't put

into words. She will get the crowd right behind her on this. It is

unlike anything I have ever experienced, amazing. All that power

and technique. That was a great shame. How will those experiences

help you come Glasgow? Massively. I can use the positives and negatives

to the Commonwealth Games. I have always competed for Great Britain,

never done the Commonwealth. It will be a massive opportunity for us if

we can do really well, get a medal, a public gymnastics even further on

the map. We have a really good shot. We are working really hard and

hoping for the best. Going for gold? Definitely. We know we can get

there if we do what we have been doing in the gym. We shall see her

in action very shortly. We would like you to get as involved as

possible. Send in your little pictures of you being out on the

bike somewhere at the Commonwealth Games, even if it is just on the

background on the television at home. Much later on we will do our

snack news. That is a big crew favourite down here, we get peckish

about this time of night. Send those in. It cannot be a meal, it must be

a snack. We are very serious about that. Also, we have the quiz of the

Commonwealth. Tonight, we have a set of new contenders. This is how it

works, the participants have 30 seconds to name as many of

works, the participants have 30 nations and territories as they can

better here at the Commonwealth Games. Yesterday, police at the key,

representing the home nations got 26. The ladies of Concord netball

club run 22. They are in silver. Let chilled you to make steam. A family

from Northern Ireland. I am Jason. Robin. James. Peter. We

have team Cardwell. How confident are you? Not very. Good to see the

confidence is there early on. We will not have any arguments with the

referee, Tim, who has been very straight with people so far. The

police had a complaint yesterday, but in the end they got 26. Are you

ready? Name as many nations and territories starting now. Scotland.

Northern Ireland. England. Trinidad and Tobago. Uganda. Sierra Leone.

New Zealand. Papa New Guinea. Singapore. I. Botswana. Isle of Man.

Singapore. I. Botswana. Isle of Jersey. Guernsey. Channel Islands.

Did we said Uganda? Botswana. Republic of South Africa. The klaxon

has gone. Well, the for the gold medal position. The answer is? 23.

Northern Ireland take the silver medal. They are very proud of that.

He has the flag and everything. Scotland at the top gold medal

position. England down in bronze. Commonwealth Games. You will have to

watch to see if you win a medal. We are going to the diving now. Most of

the venues we have shown you have been here in Glasgow but this is

taking late in the capital, Edinburgh. In position for us are

Leon Taylor and Helen Skelton. You join us in a flurry of excitement.

Jack Laugher from Leeds is Commonwealth champion in the one

metre springboard. How impressed were you? This morning he set out

his intentions and it was catch me if you can but the preliminaries

don't count, it is all about the final. His first dive was a bit

shaky but after, watch this and he won by a country mile. Because he

cruised into it this morning, this evening we were a bit like, what is

going on, but he delivered. It is a strong field and the Australians

dived extremely well but he was still miles in front of them. Day

one is going still miles in front of them. Day

one is well for England so far, only England and Scotland have put a team

into the diving but they are up against world-class competition.

This morning we saw Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow pick up a silver medal.

What did you make of it? They did so well, that field in particular, it

was an incredibly close competition and it was who could hold their

nerve. The English girls did so well to finish on the podium. They were

close to gold. Their two Johnstone to start off with were particularly

impressive -- two dives. They said in the interview, to come so close

to gold, but they could easily have come forth. They said that would not

have been good. Now they are the silver medallists. It is a great

achievement. Huge congratulations to Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow. Let's

turn our attention is to the women's synchronised three metre

springboard. What can we expect? This is also going to be tough,

Alicia Blagg and Rebecca Gallantree are the final pair but there are two

Australian pairs, two pairs from Malaysia and a strong Canadian pair.

They will be the ones to beat, the Canadians and then it is a fight for

the rest of the medals. This is a straight fight, no preliminary

rounds. Canada are the ones to beat but the Australian pair, Anabelle

Smith and her partner, they are also in with a shout. The Inga skills

have got their work cut out but every single dive accounts and if

anybody makes a mistake, the door opens -- the English girls. Alicia

Blagg has had a frustrating year with this wrist injury. But she is

back to full fitness now and she is here and we'll be doing her best. We

are getting ready for this. Two medals for England so far, one gold

and one silver. We are going to see if we can add to that.

COMMENTATOR: We have seen Crow -- synchronised judges and here is my

co-commentator from his star -- starring role on television! This

will be an interesting one. Six teams, two from Australia, two from

Malaysia, one from Canada and one from England and all six are very

strong. The Canadians would be the frontrunners and they were silver

medallists recently in the diving World Cup in Shanghai, closely

followed by one of the Australian pairs, Anabelle Smith and Maddison

Keeney. The British team were fifth in Shanghai and the Malaysian 's

were seventh. A word about Alicia Blagg coming back from injury.

Hannah Starling has been partner for Rebecca Gallantree the most of this

year. How rusty will she be? Not at all, she has been working hard to

get back to fitness. She has had to endure the frustration and annoyance

of not being part of the team but she is back all guns blazing and

ready to go. We are ready to start. Five rounds of dives, six sets of

divers. The first two rounds are the dives

they have to do, required dives. Very good synchronisation. One and a

half somersaults, a half twist in the three position, into the pike

edition, good distance from the board. -- pike position. That is

edition, good distance from the good start. The marks with lines

through them do not count. That adds up to 50.40. Now Jennifer Abel and

Pamela Ware, a very established pair.

An inward dive to start for the Canadian pair. Very good start.

There is a limited degree of difficulty in the first two rounds.

These are the favourites on paper. They have to stay composed and that

is what they have opened up with. Open pike position with the arms out

to the side, very well executed. I thought she was going to fall over

them! She was just getting the water out of her hair. 51 for Canada, a

solid start. The first of the Australian pairs, Anna Gelai and

Esther Qin. These two train miles apart, one in Sydney and one in

Melbourne. They may train far apart but their synchro is very much in

time. I guess this is the second Australian team because the first

one, Anderson Deeney and Anabelle Smith were in China for the World

Cup. These two, in training, looked hot to trot. These medals will be

very closely contested. Very solid. 49.8. All bunched up as we would

expect. Nothing much shakes up until we get into Round 3 because these

dives are relatively straightforward. Now the second

Malaysian pair. Sorry, it is the Australian pair next. That is what

was on the screen but it is the Malaysian pair. You don't normally

see that, a backward dive in the tuck position. This young pair were

seventh in the recent World Cup. Out together, that is probably the

weakest dive we have seen so far in the competition by quite a way. The

first three pairs will open up a lead on this Malaysian pair. They

always enjoy their diving. Now, these two are quite funky with

what they do. We will see how funky when we get into Round 3 and onwards

but it is the bread and butter stuff for Maddison Keeney and Anabelle

Smith. They will open up with a back dive with pike. Very very good start

from the leading Australian pair. Same distance from the board, same

time of entry into the water. Execution also very good. Nothing to

choose from between most of the teams, the Malaysians just off the

back. 49 .2 for the Australians. I will choose my words carefully but

who said that diving is a young person 's game? Rebecca Gallantree

will be 30 next month and she is partnered by 17-year-old Alicia

Blagg. Rebecca originally from Essex, Alicia from Wakefield and

they will go for an inward dive Essex, Alicia from Wakefield and

start. Superb start. The draw has them going last so they get to see

what all their them going last so they get to see

before. The pressure was on, they are looking for the magical 50

points and I don't think they will be too far away. They are in the

mix. Yes, 49.2 is a solid job done. Canada just in front of Malaysia,

the first Malaysian pair. It means very little at this stage

and will not mean much until we get into the rough and tumble of Round

3. The Malaysians pair with their

second round dive. All of these will be 2.0 degree of difficulty. They

are waiting for the referee. Not quite sure what the LA is. -- the

delay. This is their reverse dive. That is

another excellent dive from this pair.

Timing is good. Ended up straight up and down, good synchronisation. Yes,

you want to be around 50, 51 and they are. .

The leaders after Round 1, Canada, certainly the most established pair

there is. Jennifer Abel has been diving for around 20 years now, this

is their reverse dive. A little bit of splash thrown up by Jennifer. But

the execution marks will be lower for her. Jennifer Abel when over

there so she will probably get the 74 execution. That will be costly

but not disastrous. They have dropped a couple. 40s and .4 is not

quite what they were looking for. 50 is really the benchmark. So, the

Australians with their second round eyes. I think these are the ones to

watch. They are as strong pairing. Wonderful synchronisation. That will

put them over 100 points. They are at the business end of the field, in

the hunt of a medal. A silver medal last year for this pair.

the hunt of a medal. A silver medal last year for this They just begin

behind Malaysia and in front of Canada. The second of the Malaysia

and teams. Reverse dive with tuck. That is

better for a second round dive. They are a relatively new pairing.

Different distances from the diving board sold the synchronicity will be

down. They are nine points off the lead.

They have ground to make up. They have plenty of time to do that.

21-year-old Anabelle Smith, the elite Australian diver of the year.

They are doing a reverse dive. I'm not quite sure what happened there.

Madison seem to be facing the commentary position. Right on the

corner of the board. She manages to stop that from going very wrong.

That could have been disastrous. They have slipped down a bit. The

competition doesn't really get going until the third round. England hope

now to set out their stall with Alicia Blagg and Rebecca gallantry

Rebecca is on the far side. Great vertical entry with no splash

from the pair of them. Good form. Putting pressure on the rest of the

field. That is the limited degree of difficulty rounds out of the way. We

are ready to rock 'n' roll as we move into the optional rounds. Good

for the England pairing. They are in third place behind relation one and

Australia one. This is how it stands: -- behind Malaysia one.

This is where it starts to get more convoluted, bit more interesting, if

you like. Nosedives now will be below 3.0. Sorry, there is a 2.8

from the Malaysians. And in Word two and a half. That is

very, very good. Quite close to the diving board, almost clipping her

toes. The entries into the water were at the same time. A good diet.

As we are saying, this is not the place to get a pedicure!

This will be back to you somersault with Pike. -- back two and a half

somersault. It is high risk spinning backwards.

You can see where you are going. Perfect synchronisation all the way.

That should get close to 70 points. 68.4 for Canada. These two are in

decent form. The lesser rated of the Australian pair. This comes the

first of their bigger drives. Inward two and a half somersault with Pike.

In training that was so, so much better. They are in perfect

synchronisation, then they just fall over. Interesting. 5.5 and six, and

a seven. If they are going to make a move,

this is where they will want to do it. They struggled on the first two

dives. They are saving their campaign until now, when it counts.

Strong dives, well executed. Good synchronisation. I think there will

be approaching 70 points. 69.3 for the second Malaysians bear. --

pair. So, the same dive as the Malaysians

and the previous Australians. Well, good execution from both of them.

The synchronisation was marginally off. Different distances from the

diving board. I think off. Different distances from the

only get into the loose 60s. -- low 60s. You are correct, as ever. They

have Very similar to the Australian

effort. The execution was good, but the synchronisation was not so good.

They hit the water at the same time, but you can see the gap. Too far

away from the diving board. I don't know whose fault that was.

away from the diving board. I don't Synchronisation only 7.5. They are

still in the mix. That leaves them in third place with

two rounds to go. Malaysia is leading, Canada in second, England

in third. Only three points separating the first three places.

Surprisingly, the two Australian teams are at the back of the pack,

but they can make that up with the dives they have remaining.

This guide is a 2.8, so we have stepped back quite a bit, so it will

need to be bang on the money. Our leaders will no longer be our

leaders. As you can see, the execution was substandard. Pretty

ordinary, actually. Low degree of difficulty. Not a good score. That

is not good at all. Nobody is putting down a marker at the minute

and saying, come and catch us. These are the women I expect to step up to

the plate, they are world-class. This is the biggest degree of

difficulty that we will see from the Canadians. So, good synchronisation

all the way. Jennifer was not happy with their execution. She was right

on the corner of the diving board. 60 points! Interesting. Not that we

expected from the favourites. Nobody seems to want to take this

competition by the scruff of the neck. All six pairs are

mathematically still in with a shout. So, the Australians.

Great execution from Esther, closest to us. The synchronisation is a

little bit off, different spins. It is just steady at the moment. Nobody

is sticking their head above the parapet.

So, team Malaysia. The synchronisation was good. Their

execution is letting them down. Both divers were assured of vertical. --

where short of vertical. It is conceivable that neither of

the Malaysia and teams will get a medal. Get this right, and they

should be right up at the top of the table. Both divers using the spring

in the diving board to elevate themselves up to a great height.

Good to spin speed. -- good spin speed. I think they will move

themselves up to the top after that. That is precisely what they have

done. 63.42 is not hard to achieve for this too. They have done it many

times. 63.14 would be enough to put the English pair into the lead with

one round Still, the English pair go into

second place. Less than 0.5 behind the Australians after the fourth

round. That is how it looks. You could throw a blanket over the first

four places. inconsistent performances from

everybody so far. Predictions are for full is that it has never

stopped me before! OK, final round, the first Malaysian pair. Jun Hoong

and Zhiayi will go with a back to under half somersaults. They know

they are setting the pace and the tempo -- two and a half

somersaults. They saved the best till last. Ada Barco in Round 4 cost

them the lead. -- a do Barco. Marginally different spin speeds but

straight up and down. That is another good dive but they have

probably left it a bit too late to challenge for a medal. Yes, there

should be other pairs that can do that or better. It may not be a

medal for that pair. These two are in third place, rather

surprisingly, going into the last round. But traditionally they finish

strongly. It is now or never. You did predict they finish

strongly. They don't look so consistent today. Pamela a little

bit back from the end. Inspired by their team-mates winning gold in the

ten metre synchro, that is the best dive. They have put the pressure on

the rest of the field. It is all bunched up. 295 is the marker to

beat. 295.65 to be precise because they can often get that close.

Canada have their noses in front but for how long? Anna Gelai and Esther

Qin of Australia need 70 marks to get themselves into first place.

The execution from Esther again was superb but the synchronisation was

marginally off with Esther a bit further out from the board. That

means they will only get seven .5 in synchro. They will be in between the

Canadians and the Malaysians. synchro. They will be in between the

silver at best for Australia. It may be nothing at all. That depends on

what the remaining pairs can do. Nur Dhabitah Sabri earlier got a

bronze medal and she might be collecting another one after this.

Their last dive of the competition. A great dive to finish on, 3.0. We

have seen it from a lot of pairs, finishing with two and a half

somersaults with one twist. This could put them in medal contention.

Two pairs to go. A good effort but probably not good enough. The best

they can do is fourth place because Malaysia, Australia and Canada are

above them. Australia two. Here come Maddison Keeney and

Anabelle Smith. They know that if they can put in their best dive, it

might be good enough for gold. That is a wonderful effort from the

Australian pair. None of these pairs are setting the world on fire

evening with the quality of execution. Again, a touch off on the

synchronisation, different distances from the board. I am not sure where

they will be. They are just behind Canada. They are, second place,

Canada could get another gold medal here. But there is a pair that can

stop them and to do that, 68 points required by Alicia Blagg and Rebecca

Gallantree. 60s .02 will give them second place -- 67.02. This is the

highest tariff of all for them. OES! Come on! That is a phenomenal

finish! That is definitely good enough. They are going to be

Commonwealth champions. What a dive to finish on! Amazing! I was not

expecting that. Commonwealth gold medallist Alicia Blagg and Rebecca

Gallantree! Get in there! Alesha has had a terrible year with injuries.

She is not feeling them right now -- Alicia. They did not lead until the

final dive. That is what other countries normally do! But the

English pair have done that, waiting until the final knocking is to put

up their best display. 72.54 and they have beaten Canada by just over

four and a half marks. Australia edged into third. Well done Alicia

Blagg and Rebecca Gallantree. They nice, early 30th birthday present

for her. What a performance. It is great to

see, we often see it from the Chinese, they stay in second, third

and then they have a big dive at the end to go above everybody and snatch

it at the end with no chance of coming back. Look at the shop and

elation on their faces! We have seen that a lot here where athletes have

gone, me, really? I am so proud of them. They held their nerve. Nobody

was really going for it and it was wide open and they were there with

their highest degree of difficulty when it counted. At the 2012

Olympics they got 285.6, at the World Championships 284.73. They

were third at the European Championships last year. They have

cracked the 300 barrier today. It is uncharted territory in international

competition for them. 17 years old, Alicia Blagg, the youngest double

national champion in English diving history, winning the one metre

springboard and the three metre synchronised in 2010. She was

selected from 2000 in eight talent identification programme. Rebecca

Gallantree has been stalled of British and English diving for many

years and it is so great to see her getting her just deserts.

I am keeping my eyes peeled for Rebecca and Alicia. They were

astounded to get that gold medal, huge congratulations to them. We

have had a fantastic night here, Jack Laugher has got gold for

England and earlier Tonia Couch and Sarah Barrow got silver for England.

Any sign of them? They are so emotional, they are so excited that

they are going around hugging everybody and milking every moment

and no wonder, they should lap it up.

You can understand the excitement. We will go to the news and then go

back and hear from them as soon as we can, England's latest gold

medallists. Straight back to Glasgow

hopefully we will have another Scottish sunset. We are on the

men's 400 metres final. We know you love your boxing, we will have some

of that coming up here but if you want your evening fix, head over to

the red button right now. And also in the netball, England are facing

Barbados knowing that victory would secure them a semifinal spot. But

the big news tonight is that England have yet another gold medal, it came

in the diving. Helen is with those gold medallists.

Congratulations, Commonwealth champions, how do you feel? I am

speechless, I cannot believe it. champions, how do you feel? I am

are having the time of their lives! felt like wingback in London. It

felt like a home crowd, home support. It was incredible. Well,

this sets up Team England for the rest of the week. Definitely.

Hopefully we can continue. Do another lap of honour! Go and milk

at! What a day for England in the diving pool. Two gold medals, a

silver medal this morning. That is just the tip of the iceberg as it is

only day one of the just the tip of the iceberg as it is

competition. Great news. I'm sure they will have a great night, Alicia

Blagg and Tim two. I have had in a text from Michael White that says

forget about this other stuff, show us the boxing! Just for you, we will

take you over to watch Scott Fitzgerald he will be fighting

against the New Zealander, Bowyn Morgan.

So, this is the third and final round. A place on the medal podium

is the incentive. Bowyn Morgan has taken the opening two rounds with

one judge, but the other two judges have seen it in favour of

Fitzgerald. Good right hand by Scott Fitzgerald, but what a left hook by

Bowyn Morgan! Hit the target, move the feed, cool again. Just keep

doing what you are doing, Scott. Don't just stand there, adjust your

feet. Plenty of exchanges occurring at the beginning of this third

round. Both men having success with clean punches. Good shot to the body

by Scott Fitzgerald, but the great shot over the top by Bowyn Morgan.

I think Bowyn Morgan might have been slightly heard there with the shot

of the body. Again, Bowyn Morgan has turned South Pole. -- South

-- has started to lead with his left.

We are reaching the part of the contest where it comes down to who

wants it most. This last will be crucial for Scott Fitzgerald. You

have to show the judges that you want to win the contest. Inside the

final minute of the final round. Could there be a grandstand finish?

Scott Fitzgerald switched his feet once again. Right over the top from

Bowyn Morgan. The last 30 seconds, they will be crucial in determining

the outcome. Who will occupy a place on the medal podium? You have to

keep your focus. Scott Fitzgerald responds with a left hook after he

took one flush from Bowyn Morgan. There is the bell. What a contest. A

warm embrace between two committed boxers. Both producing a thrilling

spectacle here at the SECC. This is the 69 kilograms journeyman. There

was nothing in the last round, it could have gone either way. Both

really dug in. Good shop there by Bowyn Morgan. Scott Fitzgerald did

reply. There is a good left hook coming up. That left hand really

hurt him, Bowyn Morgan. I think Scott Fitzgerald might get this.

Ladies and gentlemen, we go to the judges. We have a split decision. In

favour of the winner, now through to the semifinal, in the red corner,

representing England, Scott Fitzgerald. Scott Fitzgerald, from

Preston, has earned himself a Commonwealth Games medal. He is

through to the last four. Really, skilful display, he managed to

prevail over Bowyn Morgan, the hard punching New Zealander. Make no

mistake about the man he has got a place on the medal rostrum, Scott

Fitzgerald of England. This is the moment that confirmed him as a

medallist. For me, the better quality work was from Scott

Fitzgerald. It was a close contest. Scott Fitzgerald I think won it.

They got it right in the end. It was either way, wasn't it? I think the

right man won at the end of the day. Well done to Scott Fitzgerald. He

makes it through to the semifinals. The millennium bridges up behind us.

Now, more like gymnastics. The women's all-around final is

happening tonight. Let's join Matt Baker and Beth Wetherall.

There will certainly be a fight on here for the gold. The English team

are here. Claudia Fragapane has to be the favourite for individual

gold. Yes, she had an outstanding qualification. It is a bit different

coming into a qualification as the underdog, then suddenly being the

favourite. It is if she can hold on to that pressure.

We have already had 12 gymnasts in, the Lord 12 of the top 24, if you

like. These are the big dance, the medal contenders. They will be

working around four pieces of apparatus. Every gymnast has to do

every single piece. They start on the vault. The vault is a quick

piece. You are normally pretty solid on it, it settles the nerves, gives

you the time to get used to the atmosphere. There will be a lot of

support. On that point, and what it feels like here, earlier on the men

were superb. This place was absolutely buzzing. It feels

incredibly tense now. There is Ruby Harrold. There is a real sense of

anticipation, expectation, or maybe just sheer terror! I think the

atmosphere will lighten a bit high that the English girls are in there.

This is the girl that could really upsets the podium for England, LE

black! That is bold! Potentially, we could take one, we could take one,

two, three. Also in this group is a Welsh gymnast, Lizzie Beddoe. It'll

be very hard for Christer commented with Georgina, painting --

competing. It is so much harder to watch, because you can control it.

Hannah Whelan, you have competed with her many times. She qualified

fifth. She had a couple of mistakes, little things that you can really

improve on. She will be out there to do that. She has the experience, she

is the team captain. She led them to team called yesterday. It feels very

different as an individual gymnast. They did incredibly well for the

England team, winning gold by such a long shot, six marks. This is all

about the individuals. When the girls came in, the main focus was

the team. Now, it is all for themselves.

Ruby Harrold will kick-off the competition.

A very attacking start from her! They get one chance and she grabbed

it. Double twist. Such aggression and power. Look at it. She converted

well. Probably doesn't mind going first. She has just finished warming

up. She is well able to feel focused.

This is Charlotte Sullivan. Good transfer.

Very quick under the bar. Here is the transfer. Just enough swing.

Double pike. She will be pleased to get that over with.

Charlotte Sullivan, just 16 years old. Ruby Harrold, she scores 14.8.

What a great start. A superb bid for an all-around medal. Could this

What a great start. A superb bid for gymnast spoiled the party? Elsabeth

Black. She qualified second for the final in the vault. Very powerful,

very aggressive. She was a finalist in the vault in the Olympics. 5.5

difficulty, that. She lost a little bit of leg form.

She keeps the legs tightly together. Lots of height. Good to see the

attack. They really do mean business. Charlotte Sullivan scores

12.066. Now, Georgina Hockenhull. Her coach is sitting to my left.

Chris, good luck! Who is more nervous, Georgie or me? Big this

might. Double straight. She makes it! Well done, Georgie! Beautiful

lines! A superb start. How are you feeling, Chris? A little bit

relieved. She missed the first move in the qualification. I wanted her

to show how good she is just for herself, to give her

self-confidence. She knows she has got to be at her

best tonight and she was! The way she steams down the run way, so

aggressive. She is so powerful and aggressive. 5.8 difficulty and

making it look so easy. She just goes off line a tiny bit but she

bounces back across. She is tiny, really good technique, so high she

has gone out of the picture. She really is up in the rafters. Lovely

power. 13.333, Georgina Hockenhull. She and

her coach will be delighted with that. Much better than qualifying.

The third gymnast up on bars in this women's all-around final, Megan

chant from Canada. -- Maegan Chant. You could see it was running out of

steam. The Canadians did not have a happy time on bars in qualifying and

it doesn't look like they will do today. Fragapane, 14.733, she is

behind Ruby Harrold but ahead of Elsabeth Black. Kirsten Beckett of

South Africa. 18 years old, also a qualifier for the vault final. And

had a very good competition. But a big step forward, they lack of

control but dynamic. Very good vaulting from these gymnasts.

Another very precise attack on the platform. She had so much air time,

she probably could have included another half a twist.

With that approach, you do need a lot of courage, especially when you

steam down the runway to convert it. She qualified in sixth for this

all-around competition. Staying with bars, this is Farah Ann

Abdul Hadi, 20 years old, this is her second games.

Double height, it came off a little flat but she did well. She impressed

in qualification but just lacked a little bit of connection so hoping

for a bit more in the final. Kirsten Beckett goes into sixth

place at this stage. Hannah Whelan. Her score of 14.3 would see her up

into the top three -- a score. Good, aggressive vaulting, one and a half

twists, beautiful alignment. Lots of height. I just wonder where they are

getting this power and strength and attack from, it is so impressive.

Interestingly, although they scored highly in the team final, sometimes

they were not hitting that they are today. Vault has been a big piece

that they have really targeted. And once one gymnast is doing the double

twist, everybody else knows they had to produce it to stay in contention.

They push themselves along and this is what has happened and the same

with the men. Hannah is a stylist gymnast. Great extension through

their shoulders. Very good. Very good, a good start to her

all-around competition. Olivia Vivian now from Australia. This is

their strongest use of apparatus. They took silver in the team

competition behind England. You've got the sense in the team

competition that maybe they needed just a little bit more attack.

She is swinging well. Into the double front, that is more like it,

that is what we expect from the Australians and she is celebrating.

Yes, starting with this positive energy to

Yes, starting with this positive competition. It went a bit wrong for

them in the balancing elements yesterday. It did that was a good

routine and she will be very pleased. 14.066, Hannah Whelan

outside of medal contention at the moment that there is still a long

Powers down the runway, way to go. From Wales,

Powers down the runway, top, lovely full twist, beautiful

style, she is a very stylish gymnast. The two Welsh gymnasts

there, striking in green. Another precise approach, just the full

twist this time but a very good full twist, lots of height and flight.

Lizzie is an experienced gymnast and has been a member of the British

team over the years. She has had a bit of injury, she sank a little bit

through the elbows but it was clean and tight. It should score well.

The last gymnast up on the uneven bars in this rotation, Isabella

Onyshko from Canada. This is characteristic from the

Canadians. I think so as well. Lovely dismount. Individual skills

are good. Up and down for Canada. Yes and that completes the rotation.

The gymnasts will pack their bags and move on. 13.8084 Elizabeth

Beddoe. A good start for her inside the top ten. But what will be

happening at the top end? Ruby Harrold is the current leader. There

is Sam Oldham, nursing a very bad ankle and all he can do is watch.

They march on round to the bars. Claudia Fragapane in second place at

the moment. A lot of black just in front of her in the blue leotard. --

ultimate black. We will return to the gymnastics

shortly but we are continuing with a mix of boxing and gymnast ticks, now

returning to the ring to see Steven Donnelly of Northern Ireland against

Custio Clayton of Canada who finished fifth in London in 2012 and

is highly fancied for a medal. Donnelly was sent home from Delhi

four years ago for drunken behaviour. When he got home that

behaviour continued but he has turned things around and he is back

in the ring and he is fighting for a bronze medal. This is the third

round. COMMENTATOR: Steven Donnelly, the

25-year-old from Northern Ireland, the reigning Irish champion and

three-time Northern Ireland national champion, he is on the cusp, he has

one foot on the medal rostrum but he will have to concentrate because you

can expect this educated pressure fighter from Canada to come on

strong in this third and final round. It will be a test of his

fitness and focus here, Donnelly. He has to keep doing the right things,

boxing at distance and moving. Just taking a bit of a breather, but he

has to get back on his bike. He is matching Clayton for industry and

keeping the Canadian off balance. Donna Lee was out of range and he

could not counter. -- Steven Donnelly.

Good work from Donnelly once more, Clayton covering up. He must have

got hurt by a shot from Donnelly. Some strange movements with his back

foot. He may have lost his balance. Donnelly knows he has caught him.

Clayton is very bold rubble now. The speed seems to have gone out of his

work -- very vulnerable. Steven Donnelly is boxing to order here, it

is his second Commonwealth Games and after what was a nightmare

experience in Delhi four years ago, he is on the cusp of securing what

would be a most wonderful redemption, a place on the medal

podium but he still has one minute to negotiate as he turns southpaw

against Custio Clayton. Steven Donnelly working behind his jab.

Both men testing the body. Steven Donnelly, carrying out the

instructions he is getting from the corner. For my money, Steven

Donnelly has just pulled off a significant upset. As the bell

sounds. Steven Donnelly raises his arms in anticipation of what surely

is a place in the final four. He used his movement brilliantly

throughout the contest and in the third round in particular. Custio

Clayton was off-balance. He kept the charging Canadian and they by

flicking out shots like this and using his legs wonderfully. If he

wins this contest, he will be the sixth Northern Irish boxer to get

through to the semis. That is a fantastic performance. He raised his

game in the last 20 or 30 seconds. The decision from the judges. The

winner, through to the last place in the welterweight semifinals, in the

blue corner, representing Northern Ireland, Steven Donnelly! What a

moment for Northern Ireland. The 25-year-old is through to the medal

stages of the 69 kilograms welterweight ornament. He had to

upsets a world ranked fighter, Custio Clayton, and he did just

that. A great exhibition of boxing on the back foot, hitting and

moving. Steven Donnelly, the man who experienced a nightmare in Delhi

four years ago when he was experienced a nightmare in Delhi

in the first round has made experienced a nightmare in Delhi

here in Glasgow. He has secured himself a medal. Now the question

remains, what colour will it be? That is what it means to the

Northern Ireland team. He has the opportunity to get himself into the

final. A brilliant display by Donnelly.

What colour will it be? He has guaranteed himself a bronze medal.

We will see him fight a little bit later on in the week. We will return

to the gymnastics. The women perform on for apparatus and it is their

combined score that counts. That is what happened after the first

rotation. The England trio are now on the bars.

How will Georgina feel about being first? I don't think she will be

overly bothered, just wanting to get it over with. You can do all the

work in the gym, but you can train in conditions like this. Absolutely

you cannot. Would you like to commentate on the routine? You go

ahead. Well, for Wales, Georgina Hockenhull. She starts with a simple

So far, so good. Two leaps, important, they have to be joined.

Needs to be smooth and fast. Good fools in. -- Phil spin. She needs to

focus on the cartwheel. Both feet on. We have had difficult acrobatic

skills. That is worth a lot of marks. Side somersault. You need to

be precise. This is a skill she can struggle with. Very smooth. Just

needs to concentrate on the dismount. Place your feet on the

beam, lift up high. Double tap. Great performance! I am thrilled!

And so you should be! And so Great performance! I am thrilled!

she! I am sure inside she is screaming, yes! A shy little smile.

A very good job. So, Elsabeth Black. She is in the

third going into this rotation. Can she stay there? She knows she will

need to be very precise. A good handstand to start.

The weak link is the swing under the bars. Lots of energy in this

routine. A fool Perak wept. She has fulfilled all of the requirements.

Very interesting dismount. Very good work. She hardly give anything away.

Goodness me, this is some competition! She is showing the

English girls, if they want to beat her, they will have to be at their

best. An unusual dismount. A really commanding performance. She really

worked the bars and made them do what she wanted. You can see she is

very pleased with that. The gymnast ahead of her, Claudia Fragapane is

up next. Georgina Hockenhull waits for her score. Well, she was in 13th

and I think she will move up a little bit. Delighted with that!

13.733. The Canadian, Maegan Chant is the next to go on this. She needs

to put her performance on the bars behind her, because it was not

great. Smoothly into the full spin, leg held high. She met the beam

well. Successful with the two jumps. Great height on the leaps. This

routine is a tiny bit slow for the top level.

The big this might, the double pike. Very nicely performed. She will be

much happier. She finished well, there. Will she be deducted for the

tempo? Yes, there is a deduction for a lack of tempo. She will still get

a good score. 13.758. That is a tough scored to beat. Claudia will

do very well to beat that. So, with her second piece of apparatus,

Claudia Fragapane. She will need to be very precise. Lovely handstand.

Good turn. Lovely flight for a tiny gymnast

beautiful! It might not have been the most difficult, but she did not

give away much at all. She means business! I tell you what, her toes

were very close to that top bar! I would love to see that in slow

motion. There is the world champion, Beth Tweddle. All of the English

contingent, and the Welsh. The Welsh. They know each other very

well. Claudia is from Bristol. Just over the bridge from Wales!

Wonderful style. Just beautiful from start to finish. There is the

reaction from Beth. It says it all. Only two more to go for Claudia. It

is nice having this competition buzzing along quickly. It helps the

gymnast is keep their focus. Relief at the halfway stage.

The key is to stay ahead of Elsabeth Black. Ruby Harrold to come.

This is a very stylish, graceful gymnast on this piece of apparatus.

She is very light, quick and accurate.

Once again, that move is very suspect. It is hard because you

don't see the beam early enough. She is back on.

Some very secure work, and some very graceful work.

Two and a half twists at the end. Great for Malaysia to be in this top

group. They have Great for Malaysia to be in this top

be achieving that. The dismount was a pity. That would be expensive.

Claudia Fragapane, 13.7. At the halfway

Claudia Fragapane, 13.7. At the gold. And execution score of 8.5.

That is very impressive. Kristen Beckett really committed

herself. A full pirouette right on top of the bars. Very nice, stylish

work. You could see, as soon as she released, her heels were not high

work. You could see, as soon as she enough. What a shame, because that

was a nice routine. I was surprised that this mind. We saw the powers

that she has on the vault. convert. She is consistent with her

scoring so far. Olivia Vivian onto the beam. Let's

hope she is pleased with her performance here.

Not the easiest of 360 four Law but she did it well.

Not easy and a little smile in the balance.

She will be celebrating again, she is loving every minute of this, it

is a party for her! It is going well, definitely a happier day for

Olivia Vivian. She looks much more focused and determined today. Did

you hear that? "That is how you do beam! "

Kirsten Beckett, not that pleased with that but there we are.

Hannah Whelan is outside the medals coming into this piece of apparatus.

Hannah Whelan from Liverpool, training partner of Beth Tweddle.

Very well extended. Absolutely super. Strong, precise work here.

What a shame, she just released a little bit early and it's drifted

away. Very close indeed. But she packed in the difficulty so if you

build with difficulty, you can give a little bit on execution. And she

saved it. She did, she got away with it. Just to keep us on the edge of

our seats. Claire Starkey is the other team coach.

Wonderful style. That was where she just buckled. Did her knees touch? I

don't think so. Isabella Onyshko from Canada. The

penultimate gymnast on this piece of apparatus.

Very nicely done. Using every centimetre of the beam.

I tell you what, she is not giving much away here.

That is a good routine. She has been up and down but that was fine. She

is a good beam worker. Bouncing her way back to her coach, elevation and

relief, the beam is over! Hannah Whelan was in fifth and she

has moved up to fourth. Watch out everyone, Whelan is on her way!

Lizzie Beddoe for Wales, the top Welsh gymnast in qualifying.

Beautiful handstand. Very controlled.

She needs a good this mount and she has one. Another lovely routine. --

dismount. Good, confident, clean, exactly what she needed.

Charlotte the successful gymnast from New Zealand in this higher

group. The judges counting you googled the

hat to decide whether that would be counted -- counting difficulty have

to decide. Everybody has to do a full spin but

it can be in whichever shape you choose.

She went for the triple twist and did not quite get round. That is a

pity because they were -- there were tiny flutters. She went for broke.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

She has such an interesting bar routine. Risky and difficult.

Very good landing, that was a special routine. Special, super,

scintillating. She had top score in the first rotation and there is no

reason to believe she does not hold onto that. Ruby Harrold looking

very, very impressive. That should be the top score. This was the very

original work. She does not always manage to link the elements together

but she did this time. Lovely to see originality, risk, daring, and when

it pays off, you can see why difficulty is such an important part

of a top-class routine. But for

have been around 13. It is a pity. So, the business goes on. Yes, quite

a quick competition. Just six gymnast in each round. Ruby looks

like she can't wait to get to the next one! Let's get on with it, she

says. No more gymnastics from us on BBC

Three but if you want to watch the conclusion of that event, you can go

to BBC1. We will continue with some athletics in a while but I would

like to show you this much who have come from near Middlesbrough. They

have spent five days building what they think is the world 's longest

loom band. Apparently you stretched it all the way across the river. You

should it all the way across the river. You

if we had medals for that, it all the way across the river. You

have won at least a silver or gold. They have been to and in Park

today. We will show you some athletics in a moment. -- Hampden

Park. We have got some snack news for you as always on BBC Three.

Park. We have got some snack news There have been some impressive ones

tonight. Amber is rocking party rings and Doritos. Rhys Davies says

he is watching the netball with cashew nuts and cranberries.

Miranda, this will go down well with the crew, tea and a custard slice.

Nods of approval! Martin has a of Irn-Bru and parallel wafers. Gail

Emms is working at the badminton for the BBC, very healthy, a bag of

clementines. And Karl, what about this, he is watching on the eye

player in Spain and he is eating chocolate biscuits and vintage

Gouda. That is a combination! We will continue with the sport,

athletics coming up shortly. We showed you boxing with victories for

Steven Donnelly and Scott Fitzgerald earlier and we can hear from Steven

Donnelly. The commentators said it was too

close to call, how confident were you? I knew it was close. He hurt me

in the third round but I kept the pressure on. The last 30 seconds was

important. Very important, that is where it is one and lost and I

showed my heart and thankfully I am through. When you have got your

corner screaming 20 seconds, do you hear it? It is a great feeling when

you hear it! You just go all in. quarterfinals -- into the

semifinals, with one more to go tonight. That is Steven Donnelly.

Here is Scott Fitzgerald, after his win.

Congratulations, that was one fight! He really fit, strong lad. He pushed

me all the way. It could've have gone either way. I have my medal, I

am happy. What is the state of play with your eye? It hasn't got any

worse. It should be fine for the next one. I have a guaranteed

bronze, so let's go for silver. That fight was so close. When you are one

minute away from the end, what do you think? I was just having to dig

really deep. I probably wouldn't have argued that had the other way.

I am just happy that the judges went with me. I want to get at least a

silver medal. We have had a lot of people here who have been very

emotional. You seem very calm and focused. No Time to celebrate, you

know? I am going to get myself right for the next one, get everything

sorted out so I am fresh and ready to go. Well done. Go and get that I

seem to you! So, I guaranteed bronze for Scott Fitzgerald and Steven

Donnelly. We will find out later in the week if they can turn that into

a silver or gold. The gymnastics continues now on BBC One. You can

see the conclusion to the women's all-around final. We are going to

take you to the end of the athletics. We will go over to

Hampden Park and say a big BBC Three welcome to Gabby Logan.

Well, welcome to Hampden Park, and magnificent transformation into a

great athletics tournament. So far, it has stayed fairly dry. Which is

lovely. All the AFLAC -- all of the athletes have been talking if about

how much they are enjoying it. Absolutely. You can tell the crowd

are very appreciative of the fact they are hosting the Commonwealth

Games and all these world-class athletes, who are turning into some

great competition. We don't know exactly who is going to win, and

that is exciting. We can hear the roaring up here when a race is

coming to the end. The crowd love to see that. We have the women's 200

metre heats coming up. The 200 metres is the events where we have

seen that athlete dominates. It was her stronger event. Let's see how

she gets on at this first heat. Your commentator is Andrew Cotter.

There is a great chance for Jodie Williams coming up in a later heat

for England. There is the Canadian, just 20 years

old. The seasons best of 23.26. She will be jostling for the three

automatic racers, no doubt about that. There is the 100 metres

champion, she will get a warm welcome.

So, the first of six seats. -- heats. This should be a late evening

stroll. 200 metres years to be her better event.

Easing away around the bend. Look at her drawing away with some ease.

Alexander is trying to get there, as well. Those three will go ahead

automatically. Barely breathing and through to the semifinals.

automatically. Barely breathing and really one person we will be

focusing on. She is a wonderful long jumper. She decided not to do that

sushi should -- so she could concentrate on her sprinting. She

already won the 100 metres title with a blistering time of 10.85. She

has cruised away into the next round and doesn't

has cruised away into the next round and she look wonderful? You can see

why Blessing Okagbare is the quality of this field. Phil Jones is talking

to Blessing Okagbare now. You are looking very impressive in the 200

metres. It is the first round. I just wanted to get a feel of it.

Tomorrow will be a really tough day. Two rounds of 200 metres in a

day is really tough. You have the exhilaration of the big three after

the 100 metres, how hard is it to do again? It boosted my confidence a

little bit. I just want to go out there and do my best. Enjoy the hard

work! Thank you! So, she has run 22.23 this season.

She has a new personal best, a bronze in the world Championships

last year. That look so easy to her. You would expect it to be. It should

be easy for her. You would expect it to be. It should

get this out of the way. I would be really annoyed with the preliminary

round of the 200 metres at nine p.m.. It was supposed to be

earlier, then was shifted to the end of the session. It is hard to get up

for this. There is always the danger if you are not ready, it is OK for a

final, but you handled it well. Just as expected. You want to conserve as

much energy as possible. She is just raising her game. Everyone knows she

is a great long jumper. Will she keep doing the jumps at Rio? We have

seen athletes attempt that. Marion Jones tried at one year and it

didn't work out too well. It is not easy. It is hard. It takes a lot out

of your legs. It is really tough. Bianca Williams was sixth in the 100

meter finals, and she is going in the second heat.

She is actually in lane seven now. They are not using the inside lane

in the seats. She has a good chance of going through here. Samantha

Henry Robinson will be right on the inside. Bianca, just one athlete

outsider, not a very good one to be honest. She will have to concentrate

on her own race. Bianca Williams started her season

really well. She did go off the boil a bit, by her own admission. She may

one day move up to the 400 metres, who knows? Thomas, inside her. She

got a new personal best this year. The top three go through. Here is

Samantha Henry Robinson. She was here a couple of weeks ago at the

Diamond league. Not quite as quick as Bianca Williams. It is getting a

little bit cold for the sprinters. Hopefully they have been well warmed

up. It always feels colder to us sitting in the commentary box. The

athletes of course have at least 60 minutes warming up.

Williams get a good start. Thomas going well. Right on the inside,

Henry-Robinson of Jamaica. Henry-Robinson is moving really

well. The top three qualify. Williams now comes through. Lovely

running at the Empire Bianca Williams. Get a 3-judge race. I

really like watching Bianca Williams. I think she is a lovely

looking runner. I'm not sure what her best event will be eventually.

It could be 200 metres. Has she got to improve the bend, or was she just

cruising? Only she can tell us. That will be her secret. Bianca is a

lovely runner. She had a great start to the season. We were keeping our

fingers crossed that she could find her form coming into these

championships. We need that she could do well here. The turn will

always be a little bit difficult here because it is a wide turn. It

allows the athletes to run more flat site. I think Bianca was trying to

be more cagey. She gave their Henry-Robinson was going to be her

main rival. She had her in her sights. I think the confidence from

her success in the 100 metres allowed her to get herself through.

She arrived here in really good shape. Anything under 23 seconds on

the qualifications is pretty good. It is called, Steve. --

It has been quite the Commonwealth Games for you! You make that look

pretty comfortable, considering this is your first major championships! I

am just trying to enjoy every moment. You don't know what could

happen next year. We will take it as it comes. You can't give an inch.

For the last couple of years I have been injured, terribly. I want to

have fun, why not? When it comes to the 200, is there anything that you

want to work on? My start, I think. That could've been better. I

qualified, so, I will work on that tomorrow! We wish you well. It was

my dads birthday yesterday, happy birthday!

We here it is also Daley Thompson's birthday as well. This is the start

list for the women's javelin. Australia very well represented in

deed with Kim Mickle expected to be the main contender.

We join this event in the second round. Kelsey-Lee Roberts, 22 years

of age with a lifetime best of 63.92. Good power, good upper body

power. What a heave, 63.92. Good power, good upper body

anything technical. Really stumps that left foot down. A

anything technical. Really stumps allowed that to go out beyond 60

metres for the Australian. We have already seen Kim Mickle go beyond

that. So, over to Goldie Sayers to let rip. She took the UK title a

matter of weeks ago. Left side, that is technical speak, the left side

almost like slamming the door shut, that was it. The left side comes

away, the right side catches up and you get no power. Her second attempt

away, the right side catches up and will not impress. Similar to her

first round. I mentioned Kim Mickle. Very much the favourite

here. I talked to her a couple of days ago and it was not so much

whether she was going to win but how she was going to win this final. The

World Championship silver medallist and that is big, that is very big!

The games record is 62.34 and she has already broken that. It looks

like she goes beyond that. Reasonable technique, kind of

collapsed through it so maybe there is even more but over 65 metres.

Very impressive indeed. Confident, quick, an athlete in good form. A

a little bit. Some dark clouds there in lane eight. We mentioned

McLaughlin, she and Emanuel from Canada will be the favourites to go

through. We thought these might be the three.

Ella Nelson tried to hang on. It is going to be those three, Nelson

almost taking second but Anneisha McLaughlin takes it ahead of a and

Nelson. A little bit slower than the first two heats. -- ahead of

Emanuel. One of the benefits of running in the evening, although it

is a bit cool, the wind also dies down which allows the sprinters to

perhaps concentrate on what they need to do to qualify. That is one

advantage of running late. McLaughlin of Jamaica a former youth

champion, looking pretty good and easy but the time of 23.27 is just a

qualifying time. She will be pretty pleased. She has got it out of the

way. You don't want to worry too much at this stage, win your race

and book a good lane in the semifinal.

We are in Round 3 of the javelin and it is Sunette Viljoen of South

Africa. I mentioned that record that has been taken, athletes are proud

creatures, surely she will have something to say about it but that

was stuttering on the approach. It was more of a recovery at the end. A

lot to think about. Below her best, she is a 69 metre thrower. She is

trying to defend her title but she will have two improve on that to

take the lead away from Kim Mickle. At the opposite end of the stadium,

the women's shot put is underway. Valerie Adams is the huge favourite.

Here we go, a ballerina and is, for the believer biggest favourite in

all athletics events here at the Commonwealth Games -- Valerie

Adams. That will do right there. She is imperious. Six tall, powerful,

quick and agile. Catch me if you can. Absolutely superb from Valerie

Adams. She is the defending champion, in fact she has won

everything. There is a big void to the rest of the field in this

women's shot put. The leader of that chasing pack is Cleopatra Borel of

Trinidad Tobago. 19.42 metres at her very best. She has thrown over

19 metres this year. She is a good metre or so beyond the best of the

rest. It looks on paper like that is your 1-2. It looks like it is going

to form. A solid performance, 18.57 metres, second place.

The women's shot put final is at the opposite end of the stadium. You

could say diametrically opposed, something like that, it is getting

late! At least some of the crowd have stayed to watch these heats.

They were moved from earlier on in the evening. Calvert is in lane

three, just six athletes in this one. Anyika Onuora in lane five.

The first two lanes are empty. Schillonie Calvert is inside Anyika

Onuora and these two should certainly qualified. Not quite in

the form of last year when she had a great year. 29 years of age now, she

will want to concentrate and make sure she makes no mistakes. Oceana

champion, 18 years of age, Younis Bese of Fiji. And this is Schillonie

Calvert. A strong member of the Jamaican relay squad.

Fifth in the 100 metres here in Glasgow. Anyika Onuora has had to

watch some of the youngsters coming through, Jodie Williams and Bianca

Williams, but she will want to try to re-establish herself at the top

of the English and reddish rankings. -- British rankings. She

will want to give a good account of herself as she progresses through

the rounds but she just needs to qualify here.

It is the familiar green, yellow and black flash of a Jamaican sprinter

in lane three but Anyika Onuora is moving nicely, these two

well-qualified Easley and Smith of the Bahamas takes the third spot. --

these two will qualify easily. These qualifications are fairly

straightforward, the only thing that can go wrong is a false start but

you just have two constant date -- concentrate. Calvert was very close

to the line on numerous occasions. Some of the officials will be

studying that carefully. It is good for Anyika Onuora. She has qualified

well. She wanted that run out under her belt. I have not even looked at

the fastest losers because I expect all of the British women to qualify

comfortably but the real deal is tomorrow in the semifinals. Let's

not tell anybody she might have been running on the line! Calvert has

gone straight out of the stadium but Anyika Onuora is going down to the

interview position and she is just there now. She looked comfortable.

Steve just said that you looked comfortable, how comfortable was it?

It was good, I have had the last couple of days supporting the team

and I finally get my chance on the track. I was trying not to look in

the crowd, I family is here. It is just electric here so I am glad that

I got my opportunity and ready for the next round. It is a long day to

wait and a cold night. I am telling you, it is cold! Their weather is

wait and a cold night. I am telling crazy! But the crowd is good, they

keep your energy up. The quicker we get out there, the

keep your energy up. The quicker we finish. We will see you tomorrow.

she is off to get her tracksuit back on. She is through to the

semifinals. Jodie Williams, there was this talk about her, this season

she seems to be stepping up. She has come of age. She put all her injury

woes behind her. She has grown into the expectation. She is back to her

best. We have high hopes for her. She has a great attitude, especially

after her injury. She takes nothing for granted.

over to visit us and we find a lot of things for her to work on. We

find some improvement she could make. She is a fantastic young

talent. make. She is a fantastic young

the expect patient. I think the make. She is a fantastic young

injury in 2012, the injuries she has had, it took a bit of the pressure

off her, which I think will had, it took a bit of the pressure

well for her going forward. One thing about the personal best, I am

always a little bit wary thing about the personal best, I am

personal best when you didn't win. Just put

personal best when you didn't win. was fourth. It will be good

personal best when you didn't win. confidence. She will be able to run

faster times and we have seen. This qualification should be easy. She is

in position for a medal here. This is a great opportunity for her, up

against top-class athletes. She has to get through this round.

Nothing is certain in sport, but Jodie Williams, what a talent she

is. Great talent as a junior and starting to fulfil that, after huge

disappointment at missing London with a hamstring injury just a few

weeks before. Really excited to see how she runs here. Look out for

Ashleigh Whittaker. Kamara is going in lane seven, from

Sierra Leone. Ashley Kelly from the British Virgin Islands. There is

Borg, from Malta. Even I am feeling at, the temperature has dropped so

much. There is Amponsah, in lane four. She ran 23.05 in Texas, where

she is at college, earlier this year. There is Ashleigh Whittaker,

from Australia. There should be a big noise to warm everybody up in

Hampton Hampden Park, for Jodie Whittaker. She ran 22.60 here in the

Diamond league meeting. People are very excited about her. She is

starting to relive that talent that she had as a junior, before those

injuries. She went 150 races as a junior and beaten. That is like Ed

Moses! Jodie Williams here. Away they go! The noise swells

inside the stadium. Fairly even at the moment. Jodie Williams is

starting to turn it on. Look at her fly. Amponsah is making up some

ground. Jodie Williams able to save a little bit of energy. Just showing

what she can do. There was a fierce fight going on behind her for third

place. Jodie Williams safely through. It has got very cold.

Andrew Cotter is not in shorts and a vest, I can assure you of that! She

has lots of experience. She ran so many races as a junior, in the 100

metres and 200 metres. You can't say she is inexperienced, but moving up

into the senior ranks is very different. So, for Jodie, a great

breakthrough year. She can concentrate and enjoy her running.

She is through to the next round. Over to the javelin. First up is

Mitchell. Her last attempt to improve. I think she might have just

got into the medals with that through. It is difficult to tell the

distance from back down in the groin area. You can see the lines. We can.

That looks as though it may have got into the medals. She has pushed her

team-mate, Roberts. Can Roberts respond? This is her last attempt.

Great competition. Roberts, 22 years of age.

Very simple technique. She may have just got back ahead! In the process

of competing with team-mate, she might have gone into second place.

The other Australian, Mickle, is leading. The Australians are having

a field day! She goes into silver medal position. At the moment it is

Australia, one, two, three. So, Viljoen, the South African has been

pushed into fourth place. Can she change that? Again, stuttering on

her approach. What a throw by Roberts it was. This is real on my

staff. -- this is real cat and mouse stuff. Yes! Not enough for gold, but

that will give her the silver medal. Mickle, already taking celebrations.

Call for Australia. There is, games record for Kim Mickle. Viljoen able

to spoil the Australian party. Disappointing for Goldie Sayers. Big

celebrations at the other end of the stadium. Valerie Adams, the only

athlete in the world to have won every title on offer, Commonwealth,

world and Olympics, twice. Another successful defence for Valerie

Adams. Seasons best, personal bests, all over the place. An imperious

performance by Valerie Adams in taking gold.

That might have been one of the most predictable gold medals of the

Commonwealth Games. Is it something like 55 unbeaten competitions for

her? 54 or 55. So, heat six of the women's 200 metres. The first three

will go through, with six fastest loser spots. Anything around 24

seconds will get you in. 24 point two.

Wow! Somebody has been in make up beforehand! Duncan Wright -- Duncan

is right on the inside. The Canadian, Hyacinthe, streaking away.

Now Bailey gets going. Hyacinthe WinZip just outside 23 seconds. --

wins it. It can be WinZip just outside 23 seconds. --

qualification. Some people are just cruising. Hyacinthe didn't have to

do too much to win. Duncan did get through. It is nice to see these

Canadian athletes. There was a time when they were a really strong

dominant force. Donovan Bailey took when they were a really strong

the Olympic title, breaking the world record. We haven't seen many

great Canadian sprinter since then. There has been a return. Hyacinthe,

from Canada, she ran a very nice turn, a controlled race all the way.

Pulling herself further and further away. And further away. Roger looks

up at the scoreboard, she realises there is a huge gap, you can see her

at third on the brakes. She just glides through to the finishing

line. So, the tall, long leg Canadian wins.

Ndzinisa from Swaziland will go through as one of the fastest

losers. Bianca Williams will head up the qualifiers. Blessing Okagbare

was just cruising. Three semifinals tomorrow. The top to the two fastest

losers will make it through the final.

Duncan's lipsticks was one of the highlights of the latter part of the

evening! I think she was making a point, if you make us run this lates

in this cold, our lips will turn blue!

What are the highlights of the evening for you, Michael?

I think the men's 400. I thought Rooney would get a medal. I really

thought he would. It is always great to watch David Rudisha. I think it

is shaping up to be a great race tomorrow.

Greg Rutherford getting his gold. His reaction was the best. Someone

who has achieved the highest accolade in his sport, still

enjoying the competition. I think that gold for Greg Rutherford, the

medal in the heptathlon. Guy Learmouth coming through, that is a

big step up. I think that would be a fantastic reception for Guy

Learmouth. We are at the halfway stage for the athletics. We are all

done tonight. Denise is going to be on the highlights show.

I hope you have enjoyed our night. Gymnastics, diving, athletics,

boxing. The boxing continues for you on the red button. The gymnastics is

over on BBC Two. That is just about it for us on day seven of the

Commonwealth Games. This lot are preparing themselves for their

highlight show at 10:40 p.m.. They have Greg Rutherford, the Internet

ball team, the England shooters, Beth Tweddle and the entire team

from Saint Helena as well. We will see you tomorrow from nine o'clock

BBC Three. As ever, we leave you with the band.
