:00:36. > :00:45.He has played to cover and they are pleased with that. Yes, it has come

:00:46. > :00:54.through in a good place. It whips across. I just wonder with the last

:00:55. > :00:58.ball that John McGuinness went with, the two balls if struck properly

:00:59. > :01:03.might split the other two as well. But one might stay. That is the

:01:04. > :01:29.thing. You have to see if they will absorb the drive.

:01:30. > :01:37.I am just wondering whether Scotland will be tempted to try and draw

:01:38. > :01:42.another. Just draw one in round? Almost eight o'clock position? 18

:01:43. > :01:52.inches past or something. I think what they don't want to do, and I

:01:53. > :01:56.can understand it, is get too close and present a target alongside the

:01:57. > :02:04.jack, which would make it an easier shot for England and make Jamie's

:02:05. > :02:09.mind up. The problem for Jamie, he hasn't got the spot position at the

:02:10. > :02:12.moment either so if the jack goes dead, he would be worse off and it

:02:13. > :02:37.would be more difficult to get the shot back.

:02:38. > :03:04.Well, he opened it up slightly. I think that is worse. You think so? I

:03:05. > :03:19.wondered if you think so? I wondered if he and push it. -- I wondered if

:03:20. > :03:23.he would try and push it. That is the problem. If you get out too

:03:24. > :03:31.wide, a lot of balls are going under. They will be aware of that.

:03:32. > :03:38.Now the jack is of course, it makes it a bit harder. Normally if you are

:03:39. > :03:41.confident, you would think that is great and people watching might

:03:42. > :03:46.wonder what we are on about. It looks obvious to come down there and

:03:47. > :03:50.we have watched it all week, but that is not easy. There is a lying

:03:51. > :04:01.there, but anybody will tell you it is much harder when you are three

:04:02. > :04:11.down on the scorecard as well. -- line there. In many ways he does not

:04:12. > :04:15.want to force Jamie into playing a drive. He would prefer him to play a

:04:16. > :04:20.draw because it would be a more difficult chart. Such are the

:04:21. > :04:27.thought processes at the very highest level.

:04:28. > :04:36.To get to this level, these guys have got all the shots in the

:04:37. > :04:45.locker, no doubt. So if you have the opportunity to take something, do it

:04:46. > :04:51.before your opponent does. A little kick, coming back late. That is as

:04:52. > :04:54.good as he could have. He has not left a target. Better than jack

:04:55. > :05:12.high. If Jamie does play weight, anything

:05:13. > :05:21.half is not good. Difficult position for him. He will be thinking that

:05:22. > :05:32.all too often he is going to the mat thinking this is really tough. He is

:05:33. > :05:38.playing the drive. Just got the front one. Half ball. Yes, off it

:05:39. > :05:45.went. Alex will be quite happy with that.

:05:46. > :06:30.On target. Could not have played it much better but a bit unlucky.

:06:31. > :06:35.When you are the opponents, you just have to stand back and theorise what

:06:36. > :06:42.they might do but you are already thinking ahead. And as the skipper

:06:43. > :06:53.you are thinking about what you have got to do as well.

:06:54. > :07:06.He has swapped sides onto the backhand. He didn't want to improve

:07:07. > :07:14.the position and he has gone for the deepest back. A bit undecided.

:07:15. > :07:23.Didn't want to pack the head. Probably agree with him on that.

:07:24. > :07:26.Didn't want to leave a catch. Jamie Chestney has just played weight. If

:07:27. > :07:33.he is looking for the draw, it is hard to go back. Just might play the

:07:34. > :07:38.percentage, rolling weight, to use the side balls and get back into the

:07:39. > :07:49.shot ball. Playing driving weight again. Well off target. Might be

:07:50. > :07:57.second shot there. It is, a single shot. He got out of it well in the

:07:58. > :08:03.end. Sometimes you have got to hit and hope and hope that the gods are

:08:04. > :08:07.smiling down on you. They are getting fortunate here. Doing enough

:08:08. > :08:30.to stun the black ball across. Scotland have a four shot advantage.

:08:31. > :08:45.Scotland again have gone further short.

:08:46. > :09:04.Just checking for a second to make sure. If it's been a good position.

:09:05. > :09:57.-- in its minimum position. That is a great ball. Yes, just

:09:58. > :10:02.tidying things up with good bowls and good positions. One down and

:10:03. > :10:08.recovering. Tidying things up nicely.

:10:09. > :10:47.John McGuinness was expecting to draw but he has been told by his

:10:48. > :10:58.skipper to be up. No second invitation needed. Oh. Just went by.

:10:59. > :10:59.You could see why Jamie Chestney asked for that, to split the two

:11:00. > :11:10.front bowls. 10-5 down, nine ends asked for that, to split the two

:11:11. > :11:15.played, not a great position. Starting to change things a bit. He

:11:16. > :11:22.needs to move bowls and can't allow anything to build up. The danger is

:11:23. > :11:58.when you start chasing a game, you will get punished at this level.

:11:59. > :12:57.Stuart Airey was trying to open it up for England and took out the back

:12:58. > :14:00.ball. Andrew Knapper suffering some

:14:01. > :14:33.encouragement from Stuart Airey, a man born in Sunderland.

:14:34. > :14:44.Fairly well mixed up at the back. Yes. He still played the running

:14:45. > :14:55.ball. I don't think Scotland will mind that, really. The position at

:14:56. > :14:59.the back. Big trouble here for Alex if he comes down and plays another

:15:00. > :17:12.perfect bowl. We'll be hoping for a bit of room. That is pretty good, he

:17:13. > :19:47.England have scored in just two of the ten ends. It has been that kind

:19:48. > :19:52.of day so far. the ten ends. It has been that kind

:19:53. > :20:08.Another good opener from both players. England bowled just behind

:20:09. > :20:11.the jack. He's played this perfect. He is on his game. It has

:20:12. > :20:25.the jack. He's played this perfect. if UN is but he has been rolling

:20:26. > :20:28.along. -- a few ends. Good bowling by Andrew Knapper. Four good bowls

:20:29. > :20:47.from good players. He Neil Speirs trying as well. This is

:20:48. > :20:54.unbelievable from Scotland, absolutely unbelievable. Every time

:20:55. > :21:00.England play a good bowl, Scotland simply play a better one. This is

:21:01. > :21:09.tough to play against, it really is tough. They have not played badly

:21:10. > :21:20.but this Scottish four is a mean machine. Good effort by John

:21:21. > :22:15.McGuinness, really well played. Great end of bowls.

:22:16. > :22:21.these guys play good bowl after good bowl, and so it goes. It is just

:22:22. > :22:26.wearing the opposition down. England have not played badly. But still

:22:27. > :22:46.worn down. Paul Foster was part of the Scottish

:22:47. > :22:55.pairs winning duo with Alex Marshall.

:22:56. > :23:07.Could not have placed that any better, dead centre. Causing

:23:08. > :23:19.problems. Lots of them for England at the moment. Really good bowl.

:23:20. > :23:26.Centre of the ring. Leaves no target.

:23:27. > :23:33.Like a juggernaut coming towards you. It is just going to run over

:23:34. > :23:57.you. Scotland's biggest problem might be handshake fatigue!

:23:58. > :24:08.That is not a bad attempt by Stewart and it is not easy.

:24:09. > :24:20.Starting to come in, drifting away. They know that Jamie Chestney is

:24:21. > :24:35.going to have to attack this at some point.

:24:36. > :25:37.Just dropping underneath. That is only where Scotland have had some

:25:38. > :25:47.position, to the right of the jack. I think they want a cover ball

:25:48. > :25:51.somewhere on that side of the hand. -- head. That is where it wants to

:25:52. > :26:02.go. They have already covered the back. You're simply trying to take

:26:03. > :26:05.shots away from your opponent. England could take three and maybe

:26:06. > :26:14.four and Scotland can take that away from them. One ball target. Yes, it

:26:15. > :26:28.is when you start looking to be creative. A bit deep but not too

:26:29. > :26:38.bad. Deeper than they wanted. Diane can afford to smile!

:26:39. > :26:41.Unless Jamie Chestney can do something,

:26:42. > :26:53.Unless Jamie Chestney can England will not settle for silver. Tried to

:26:54. > :27:33.play that with nice weight. Scotland have to try and be in there.

:27:34. > :28:00.think your opponent is going to play. His Royal Highness, Prince

:28:01. > :28:13.Edward. He has decided to get to the VIP seats rather than join us here.

:28:14. > :28:30.He was to get me a season ticket the Swansea. You cannot blame them.

:28:31. > :28:48.Following its down. This wants to be the other side. That is brilliant.

:28:49. > :28:55.Glove just played it perfect. He has been doing a lot of that lately. You

:28:56. > :29:06.can have the best script writers in the world and you are not played

:29:07. > :29:15.better bowl that. Brilliant. Bowls on request. Has got to hear this. It

:29:16. > :29:22.is tailing away. You can see the frustration and spreading in the

:29:23. > :29:29.English ranks. Scotland's take 83. They will be hard to overhaul in the

:29:30. > :29:54.battle for gold. -- Scotland take a three. It is not over yet. But the

:29:55. > :30:03.end may not be far away. At the moment I would call this a textbook

:30:04. > :30:08.performance from Scotland. It has been absolutely clinical. They

:30:09. > :30:09.dropped a four at one point but other than that it has been

:30:10. > :30:43.something else. Two good bowls again. Peacock has

:30:44. > :31:15.come into a real game. He is enjoying this. Up against Andrew

:31:16. > :31:25.Knapper. Another good bowl again. Andy Knapper was Berkshire sports

:31:26. > :31:42.Knapper. Another good bowl again. Helicopter overhead. England are

:31:43. > :31:53.hoping it is the A-Team coming to the rescue. Identifying the greens

:31:54. > :32:01.keeper would like that. That is better from John McGuinness but

:32:02. > :32:11.looking a little lonely. They need to get another one in because it is

:32:12. > :32:24.building. Good attempts by John. Bit unlucky with that. Very unlikely.

:32:25. > :32:35.Forced into playing it, in fairness. It is a good bowl. Unlucky. It was

:32:36. > :32:44.unlucky. England need to find a way to start winning heads but it is

:32:45. > :33:43.virtually impossible at the moment. 's textbook stuff from Scotland.

:33:44. > :33:57.got the jack back. That has taken two out of that. Andy Knapper has

:33:58. > :34:16.won back there. -- he has one. Played it well. Can still find time

:34:17. > :34:20.to smile. They have played a decent game. Sometimes you go into a match

:34:21. > :34:27.thinking you have not played well. But they are being outplayed,

:34:28. > :34:29.although they are not playing badly. Sometimes you have to play your

:34:30. > :34:36.position but the opposition have not allow them today. He had his bowls

:34:37. > :34:43.stolen before the Commonwealth Games. They were recovered. That is

:34:44. > :34:48.not one of them, his bowls are currently in police lock-up as

:34:49. > :34:54.evidence. Alex Marshall had to get a new set. Almost identical. He

:34:55. > :35:03.practised and he practised, he needed to run the men. He suggested

:35:04. > :35:07.they would need his arm as well if he wanted -- if they wanted him to

:35:08. > :36:17.stop bowling well. A little on the high line. Just a

:36:18. > :36:28.little bit over the weight. In off the backhand. Down the inside. Just

:36:29. > :36:40.got the touch he didn't want. England lying two. England badly

:36:41. > :37:03.needs take this end. Alex was not far away then. Dropping short. He

:37:04. > :37:34.has been under a fair bit of pressure. Struggling with his weight

:37:35. > :37:45.now. Just missed in the first time. Hard Shard. Needed a bit of weight

:37:46. > :38:00.to get under that. No respite for England here. Ideally if they can

:38:01. > :38:03.add a third this would be good. Scotland have no right of reply,

:38:04. > :38:20.what can Jamie Chestney do? Just got caught on his own. Two shots to

:38:21. > :38:29.England. Giving themselves a chance. Three ends to play. They have

:38:30. > :38:55.trailed the just one end in the match, Scotland. That is going long.

:38:56. > :39:03.Needed to make sure it was full-length. Brought the maths up a

:39:04. > :39:08.couple of metres. You feel if England are going to take the three

:39:09. > :39:12.or four they need a longer Jack. Sure Jack is wary difficult to get

:39:13. > :39:37.control because Scotland play well to that length. It did not go into

:39:38. > :40:30.the ditch by much. It is not a bad opener. Still plenty of room. A good

:40:31. > :40:34.reply. David Peacock was the first bowler to win three consecutive gold

:40:35. > :40:51.medals at outdoor World Championships and bringing all his

:40:52. > :41:38.experience to bear here. That is a good shot. Good positive draw.

:41:39. > :43:15.Decent bowl. Just was not running out. Stuart Airey just getting rid

:43:16. > :43:24.of the blue bowl. APPLAUSE Just looking to drift it in there.

:43:25. > :43:30.Just getting to the stage with three ends to play, just to give

:43:31. > :43:55.themselves a chance they need something. That is no worse, good

:43:56. > :44:38.bowl TU 's. Ideally Stewart needs another one in their in front of the

:44:39. > :44:42.blues. Just resting on in there. You can see by the feet going in there

:44:43. > :45:01.and there is a few chances off those bowls. Coming off the shoulder.

:45:02. > :45:19.Giving it a chance, all about the connection. That is the shot.

:45:20. > :45:26.APPLAUSE Just build this up. Two chances,

:45:27. > :45:33.inside edge or outside edge. Could not really go wrong, he played it

:45:34. > :45:51.well with good weight. Jamie Chestney, he has given that chance.

:45:52. > :45:57.Just running through. If we were experts in body language we might

:45:58. > :46:01.make a fortune in other fields. As an amateur psychologist there is a

:46:02. > :46:11.real bounce about Scotland and the moment. You can just tell England

:46:12. > :46:19.are a bit deflated. How do you get out of this. They had been

:46:20. > :46:28.smothered, really. Fantastic stuff from Scotland, they have done

:46:29. > :46:32.everything right. For his first Commonwealth Games he has got the

:46:33. > :46:35.silver medal at worst and a bronze medal as well, all of the English

:46:36. > :46:46.bowlers have got a medal so in those terms it has been successful for

:46:47. > :46:54.England and Kelvingrove. -- at. Marshall on his backhand, using the

:46:55. > :47:13.area. If he runs past the short one he is close. That does not help.

:47:14. > :47:17.Easing towards goal, his charges. There is nothing obvious for

:47:18. > :47:24.England. Then they start to be creative and it starts getting into

:47:25. > :47:30.the worlds of ifs and buts. You conceive a gap where his foot is.

:47:31. > :47:32.That is the only way he is going to get it, that is the only shot on. He

:47:33. > :48:07.is looking down that gap. Way too much in front. That had to

:48:08. > :48:14.be absolutely spot on. Free draw here for a third. In the area but

:48:15. > :48:24.never going to get it at that angle. Needed to be wiser to get into it.

:48:25. > :48:39.-- wider. If he makes this, it is a bonus.

:48:40. > :48:49.Good weight, good drop in, good try. Didn't want to be too close. No

:48:50. > :49:03.point in spoiling things. Scotland are on the home straight.

:49:04. > :49:08.England haven't been able to score at consecutive ends and that is why

:49:09. > :49:26.Scotland are leading 16-7. We promised to touch on the fact

:49:27. > :49:31.that they are not playing the same colour of bowls on each team.

:49:32. > :49:35.Certainly the talk is that after the next Commonwealth Games, the top

:49:36. > :49:39.nations would be allocated a colour, and then you have to play with that,

:49:40. > :49:45.which would make it easier for television viewers and those

:49:46. > :49:51.watching at the Games as well. It is a bit confusing sometimes when they

:49:52. > :49:54.are playing with the same colours. Yes, it has been a good championship

:49:55. > :50:01.but there are always things we can improve on. The Scotland four would

:50:02. > :50:15.be hard pressed to improve on their performance today. Scotland had high

:50:16. > :50:20.hopes of gold at the bowls. This complex has been upgraded over a two

:50:21. > :50:28.year period, the five green upgrade at Kelvingrove. Golfer Scotland in

:50:29. > :50:43.the men's pairs and it looks likely in the fours. -- gold for Scotland.

:50:44. > :50:55.They have done the hard yards it is just claiming the prize now.

:50:56. > :51:21.If they are to have any chance at all, England need three. They had to

:51:22. > :51:27.win the 12th end. If they had won that, they would have had a chance.

:51:28. > :51:42.They could The way this end is building, it

:51:43. > :51:47.doesn't look like there will be much chance of getting more than one out

:51:48. > :51:56.of this, two at best. But that is what Scotland have been good at.

:51:57. > :52:00.Jamie Chestney, to be fair to him, played some good shots that he

:52:01. > :52:12.missed, but he is trying to force degree difficulty shots. -- the

:52:13. > :52:17.fourth degree difficulty. It will be frustrating because he has not had

:52:18. > :52:21.much chance to show what he is capable of. What happens is you get

:52:22. > :52:31.put under so much pressure at the end and you start missing the easier

:52:32. > :52:32.bowls. It is difficult. Second best and Scotland on form. No shame in

:52:33. > :52:44.that. Stuart Airey has put two good bowls

:52:45. > :53:07.in here. Give them a chance. 42-year-old playing off the

:53:08. > :53:52.backhand. A couple of They are not worried about the shot

:53:53. > :54:04.bowl, Scotland, just looking to pass.

:54:05. > :54:35.Quite happy to leave the jack open and leave England to draw the shot.

:54:36. > :55:04.In the semifinal against Australia, they lost the first end, and went

:55:05. > :55:16.five down and since then they have never been behind.

:55:17. > :55:29.Alex Marshall, second shot. Yes, good again. Trying to make it

:55:30. > :55:42.difficult for Jamie to get any more than the one.

:55:43. > :55:53.Going to try and lift the jack with this. He has got it wrong! He has

:55:54. > :55:55.got it wrong and there goes the game, I think. Nothing there for

:55:56. > :56:21.them now. They will take everything here but I

:56:22. > :56:29.can't see England getting anything out of this. The last thing England

:56:30. > :56:35.needed was for the jack to be moved a couple of times. He was looking

:56:36. > :56:44.for the jack but on the other side of the ring, he was looking to give

:56:45. > :56:46.himself a chance. It has been a final of contrasting emotions

:56:47. > :56:54.between the men from Scotland and England.

:56:55. > :57:05.Celebrations for the men in the blue and more difficult for those in red.

:57:06. > :57:18.Joy and despair summed up, perfectly matched. The Lionel Messi of bowls,

:57:19. > :57:23.have true. -- how true. The only difference is that Lionel Messi

:57:24. > :57:31.might make $65 million per year more than Alex Marshall!

:57:32. > :57:46.That wasn't part of the plan. Alex Marshall has a better singing voice

:57:47. > :57:56.than Lionel Messi! How you heard Lionel Messi singing will be a tale

:57:57. > :58:04.for another day. I have got that wrong. I must mean Lionel Richie!

:58:05. > :58:49.Jamie has had a good look at this. He can't draw the shot. It is all

:58:50. > :58:55.over. Gold the Scotland! -- gold for Scotland! What a performance from

:58:56. > :58:59.David Peacock, Neil Speirs, Paul Foster and Alex Marshall. They

:59:00. > :59:07.controlled the game almost from start to finish. They dropped four

:59:08. > :59:19.on the fourth end. It is the Scotland bounds in Glasgow. That is

:59:20. > :59:27.what gold means to Scotland. Great scenes here, the crowd on their

:59:28. > :59:33.feet. Wonderful support. David well pleased. They can be delighted with

:59:34. > :59:38.their performance. This man has been the start of the show, Alex

:59:39. > :59:44.Marshall. He is one of the iconic figures of the Glasgow 2014

:59:45. > :59:47.Commonwealth Games. They defeated a very good England four. Just too

:59:48. > :59:54.much for them in the end. And the gold medal match means the gold

:59:55. > :00:01.medals stay on home soil. David Peacock, Neil Speirs, Paul Foster

:00:02. > :00:05.and Alex Marshall would just too good for John McGuinness, Andrew

:00:06. > :00:12.Knapper, Stuart Airey and Jamie Chestney of England. It goes to

:00:13. > :00:15.Scotland by 16 shots to eight. Congratulations to Scotland. Another

:00:16. > :00:21.gold medal for the home nation. A warm welcome if you are just joining

:00:22. > :00:25.us. It is day nine of Glasgow 2014 and you can watch it here until

:00:26. > :00:31.seven o'clock today. We are joined by our band of merry men. Look at

:00:32. > :00:34.them, a dysfunctional boy band! I have to be careful because they do

:00:35. > :00:41.make me look good, well, they try at least. Let me run through what we

:00:42. > :01:39.have got coming your way before seven o'clock.

:01:40. > :01:45.Next this afternoon, up the River Clyde, directly where the camera is

:01:46. > :01:51.pointing and where that vote is coming from, the National hockey

:01:52. > :01:54.centre. An intriguing match, as far as the women's semifinal is

:01:55. > :01:58.concerned. Coming up, coverage of England against New Zealand, with

:01:59. > :02:03.the right to play the winner of South Africa against Australia.

:02:04. > :02:08.Australia finished their game a short while ago and this is what

:02:09. > :02:13.happened. The defending champions, who have won three out of the last

:02:14. > :02:19.four Commonwealth Games beat South Africa 7-1. They took the lead with

:02:20. > :02:22.a nice finish from inside the area. It was 2-0 at half-time but the

:02:23. > :02:31.Aussies got three goals in 15 minutes. A nice solo goal to make it

:02:32. > :02:40.five. South Africa did pull one goal back, but it is the Aussies who

:02:41. > :02:44.advance into the final. So, who will Australia face in the final? England

:02:45. > :02:53.or New Zealand? Let's get to mel clue low and Leslie Murdoch.

:02:54. > :02:58.New Zealand get it underway in the second semifinal here at Glasgow

:02:59. > :03:10.2014. Excellent tackle from Holly Webb to

:03:11. > :03:24.give her a first touch early on in the semifinal.

:03:25. > :03:49.Nicholson is literally running across the field.

:03:50. > :04:17.loud, parochial crowd find their voice.

:04:18. > :04:25.Very important reason why the ball has to be brought out, if that is

:04:26. > :04:29.where it is. If the ball is inside the 25, you cannot hit it

:04:30. > :04:34.straightaway, you have to move it for five metres. From outside the 25

:04:35. > :04:37.commute can hit a crash ball in. Some people might think the umpires

:04:38. > :04:46.are being picky, but that is the reason.

:04:47. > :04:59.It is a very efficient looking England side in the early stages.

:05:00. > :05:17.Strong whistle against the two England tacklers.

:05:18. > :05:22.Flynn was penalised for obstructing the player, using her body to stop

:05:23. > :05:28.the England defender getting to the ball.

:05:29. > :05:42.The early stages of this second semifinal.

:05:43. > :05:52.It was a surging run by Danson. Charlton did well. 22 years of age,

:05:53. > :06:11.Samantha Taylor on. Stacey Nicholson learnt her hockey

:06:12. > :06:17.in Northland, a nursery of hockey players coming through from that

:06:18. > :06:19.area of New Zealand. Some mesmerising skills from Owsley. She

:06:20. > :06:49.gets the free hip. -- hit. England, putting New Zealand on some

:06:50. > :07:36.defensive pressure. Holly Webb, otherwise New Zealand

:07:37. > :07:39.had space to carry the ball into. If you are watching international

:07:40. > :07:46.hockey for the first time, yes, you can play the ball with your stick

:07:47. > :07:51.above the shoulder. As long as it is not in a dangerous manner. It has

:07:52. > :07:52.certainly added another Di mentioned to this wonderful international

:07:53. > :08:56.sport. -- another dimensional. That was outstanding work from

:08:57. > :09:08.Owsley. Just 19 years of age. 40 caps. And it is not finished yet.

:09:09. > :09:11.She could not quite keep it in. The key for New Zealand is keeping

:09:12. > :09:15.Danson quiet today. She has been back to her best in this tournament.

:09:16. > :09:17.But it is important that the other players do not just look to spark it

:09:18. > :09:31.for England. Good work from Cocks. That time, the ball was deemed

:09:32. > :09:54.dangerous. Not too much license happens during

:09:55. > :10:08.the match, because they need to be exact to start with.

:10:09. > :10:11.Certainly, England have kept the New Zealand captain quiet in the opening

:10:12. > :10:34.exchanges. Good work again. Strong defending.

:10:35. > :10:53.But again, the New Zealand players in the wrong zone.

:10:54. > :11:00.Dennison has been solid throughout the tournament. Really composed at

:11:01. > :11:03.the back. Plays in the middle of the pitch, almost allowing Whitelock and

:11:04. > :11:04.Naylor to get forward because they have so much confidence in her

:11:05. > :11:12.distribution. I think Webster thought it was her

:11:13. > :11:39.free hit. Seven tournament goals for four

:11:40. > :12:38.guests on. -- four guests on. was a good centre. Merry, great

:12:39. > :12:40.stick skills. Slightly impeded, but she had the strength to ride the

:12:41. > :13:13.tackle. Webster has come over on to the

:13:14. > :13:46.right side of the New Zealand. -- for New Zealand.

:13:47. > :14:20.Strong tackle defence for New Zealand. Battered

:14:21. > :14:27.There was a shot at goal, well cleaned up by Hinch. They will be

:14:28. > :14:37.disappointed with that shot. Didn't get the power or direction. But a

:14:38. > :14:41.good break from Lily Owsley. Drove into the circle, went round one but

:14:42. > :14:55.could not get the drive to work past Dennison.

:14:56. > :15:18.Playing with confidence, England. A strong whistle against New Zealand.

:15:19. > :15:43.Just dropped on the back of her foot.

:15:44. > :15:53.Again, they took the free hit quickly. It is a quick match.

:15:54. > :16:41.A good contest between Thompson of New Zealand and White of England.

:16:42. > :17:06.The English captain just calms down proceedings.

:17:07. > :17:27.Owsley, searching for forward momentum.

:17:28. > :17:36.When England get the ball, they are not attacking with numbers. It is

:17:37. > :17:39.two or three, trying to take on five or six Black Sticks defenders. At

:17:40. > :17:42.some point, I feel the midfielder will have to come up and support. --

:17:43. > :17:59.the midfield. A scything drive from

:18:00. > :18:02.Richardson-Walsh, but it was read by Thompson. Playing with confidence,

:18:03. > :18:53.England. If you are wondering why England

:18:54. > :18:56.don't present the ball back to New Zealand, it is because if they do

:18:57. > :18:58.they will get told off by the umpire. So they leave it. It is not

:18:59. > :19:26.that they don't want to help. You have to try to move the ball

:19:27. > :19:29.five metres before playing it into the circle. They tried to get a

:19:30. > :19:39.deflection on the edge but there was no touch and it went straight in.

:19:40. > :20:09.Merry, having a fine game so far. Michelsen intercepts this time.

:20:10. > :20:19.Naylor, with a big drive, but Richardson-Walsh brings it out and

:20:20. > :20:31.into Michelsen's leg. Michelsen, penalty corner, New Zealand.

:20:32. > :20:37.She has given the penalty corner against Richardson-Walsh for not

:20:38. > :20:42.backing off five metres before engaging with the ball carrier,

:20:43. > :20:50.Michelsen. It was not that tackle by Shipperley. That was a clean tackle.

:20:51. > :20:58.There, Richardson-Walsh did not back off the required five metres.

:20:59. > :21:00.England, scrambling to get their defensive gear on. They

:21:01. > :21:08.England, scrambling to get their Michelsen, to inject from the

:21:09. > :21:17.baseline. It goes over and harmlessly, without anyone touching

:21:18. > :21:21.it. I think she will be disappointed with that. It seemed to roll off her

:21:22. > :21:38.stick at the wrong time. The Sun is finding its way through

:21:39. > :22:21.the cloud cover. 22 degrees. The Australian umpire is under a bit

:22:22. > :22:59.of pressure. It has certainly been New Zealand

:23:00. > :23:00.that have had more of the possession in the first half but neither

:23:01. > :23:45.goalkeeper has been tested. Charlton pulled off a great tackle.

:23:46. > :23:48.Michelsen, through the midfield this time. Over two Cocks on the left

:23:49. > :24:07.flank. Charlton is playing with so much

:24:08. > :24:46.confidence. It is just not falling for New

:24:47. > :24:49.Zealand at the moment. There seems to be a bit of desperation in the

:24:50. > :24:57.English defence, but at the moment it is standing firm.

:24:58. > :25:02.Australia have already booked their place, comprehensively beating South

:25:03. > :25:49.Africa 7-1. A lot of pressure on the ball

:25:50. > :25:58.carrier. England putting a lot of pressure on.

:25:59. > :26:04.Samantha Charlton has also had a solid start in defence. For someone

:26:05. > :26:14.so young, she makes extremely clean tackles at vital times. Yes, the

:26:15. > :26:22.22-year-old, who was awarded her 100th cap three games ago, Samantha

:26:23. > :27:16.Taylor 's in. -- Samantha Power Charlton.

:27:17. > :27:30.That was Webster with a shot at goal.

:27:31. > :27:43.Merry gets the free hit. She has done a couple of those so far.

:27:44. > :27:52.That had Hinch diving, but over the baseline. Great delivery by

:27:53. > :27:53.Whitelock. She always delivers the ball flat on the floor, which is

:27:54. > :28:14.what you want as a striker. It was Lucy Wood on the ball. She

:28:15. > :28:19.needed to take a little more care on the past two hours leave. On the

:28:20. > :28:30.past two Owsley. I am sure she would have wanted the

:28:31. > :28:34.ball on her forehand, but it was just too far ahead of her. A golden

:28:35. > :28:40.opportunity for England to take the lead in the match.

:28:41. > :28:49.For all the possession, it has really been a game played within the

:28:50. > :28:55.25s. That was England's first shot at goal. New Zealand, on the balance

:28:56. > :29:30.of play, deserve to have had more shots.

:29:31. > :29:37.Well, the New Zealanders have felt the sting of the South African

:29:38. > :29:41.umpire in the other game. That is Michelsen off with a green. New

:29:42. > :29:48.Zealand playing with ten players for two minutes.

:29:49. > :30:29.Goal! Lily Owsley has scored for England, with New Zealand with one

:30:30. > :30:36.player on the bench. Fantastic strength by quick on her 50th. I

:30:37. > :30:49.think Whitelock may be referring this. Yes, it is being referred. New

:30:50. > :30:51.Zealand are checking for an England foot inside the circle, please. Have

:30:52. > :31:11.a look for me. I will. They are looking for the foot on how

:31:12. > :31:17.is Lee as the ball came across. -- Lily Owsley. Definitely nothing

:31:18. > :31:25.wrong by Danson playing it into the area. It was not a foot. But the

:31:26. > :31:33.video umpire is supposed to give the correct outcome.

:31:34. > :31:48.We will be finding out in just a few seconds. It looks a perfect finish

:31:49. > :31:57.from Lily Owsley. It did not come off Danson. I think it was a glove,

:31:58. > :32:04.or an harm. It was not a foot, definitely not a foot.

:32:05. > :32:11.If it is rejected, New Zealand will lose their opportunity to ask again.

:32:12. > :32:22.If it hits the glove, they will allow it, but if it is her arm,

:32:23. > :32:25.maybe not. The umpire from Australia gets to whistle this all-important

:32:26. > :32:33.semifinal. It is critical, so they want to make sure they get it right.

:32:34. > :32:36.What is your analysis of that? I was always of the impression if it hit

:32:37. > :32:42.the glove and the glove hand was on the stick, that is part of the

:32:43. > :32:59.stick. But it hit the forearm. Not a foot. It might even be her stick. I

:33:00. > :33:05.think it's a goal. So, it is a goal? Yes, the goal

:33:06. > :33:14.stands. And the English team retreated to

:33:15. > :33:25.behind halfway, they believed it was a goal.

:33:26. > :33:33.Playing with confidence. Right from the opening whistle, England have

:33:34. > :33:40.done that, in this second semifinal. There she is, the goal-scorer, Lily

:33:41. > :34:08.Owsley. 19 years of age. This time it is Danson who gets the

:34:09. > :34:12.green card for not retreating. New Zealand cannot refer. They have lost

:34:13. > :34:33.their ability to refer. Richardson-Walsh, out onto the right

:34:34. > :34:53.flank. They have used it effectively today, England.

:34:54. > :35:01.Stolen by Flynn, and now this is the New Zealand skipper, Whitelock.

:35:02. > :35:12.Keeps it in play. And gets the free hit.

:35:13. > :35:39.Taken by Naylor. Thompson drags it into the circle. Free hit, defence.

:35:40. > :35:43.Susie Gilbert just into the circle. Free hit, defence.

:35:44. > :35:48.ball was spun in field by New Zealand. But Richardson-Walsh has

:35:49. > :35:55.been pretty spot on today. Anything coming into the circle, she is

:35:56. > :36:04.mopping up. Whitelock, off-loads to Forgesson. Looking for a linkup with

:36:05. > :36:12.Glynn. And for me, that is the key in this first half, the accuracy of

:36:13. > :36:17.England, everything they have done. MEL CLEWLOW: They have not had a lot

:36:18. > :36:22.of possession, they have soaked up a lot of New Zealand pressure, but

:36:23. > :36:25.they have made the one clear-cut chance count, and that is the

:36:26. > :36:49.difference between the two sides at the moment.

:36:50. > :36:55.330 combined England and break Britain caps for Richardson-Walsh.

:36:56. > :37:00.Another chance for England! Chased by Danson. Outside the circle now.

:37:01. > :37:13.Looking for a foot, she gets it. And New Zealand are needing to soak

:37:14. > :37:15.up some more pressure from England. 3.5 minutes left in the first half

:37:16. > :37:50.of this second semifinal. Unlucky, Forgesson, she got a big

:37:51. > :37:55.stick on the back of hers, as she delivered the ball. This time, it is

:37:56. > :38:07.Danson with the ball for England. A big tackle from Webster. Important.

:38:08. > :38:24.A big drive up the field. Unsworth. Finds the captain, moving up over

:38:25. > :38:27.halfway. Then off-loading that ball. Across the face! And out of the way

:38:28. > :38:44.of Danson. Across the front. Whitelock.

:38:45. > :38:55.Whitelock again, takes the wick free hit. How did she get that pass away

:38:56. > :39:05.under so much pressure? And they do not even get the ball! Yes, I think

:39:06. > :39:09.it was definitely a free hit. I do not think there was anything Laura

:39:10. > :39:19.Unsworth could do to get out of the way, but it makes you appreciate,

:39:20. > :39:21.Unsworth could do to get out of the Unsworth is quick, but Whitelock is

:39:22. > :39:30.still ahead of her, carrying the ball.

:39:31. > :40:34.Again, through Sophie Bray, England come forward.

:40:35. > :40:46.16 seconds on the clock. Unsworth is on the end of it. Across the face.

:40:47. > :40:59.Bray was getting close. The English coach in the stands. The half-time

:41:00. > :41:04.hooter goes. A very good 35-minute 's from England. There is the

:41:05. > :41:15.goal-scorer, 19 years of age. We have watched her with great

:41:16. > :41:18.interest. So, that contest, fascinatingly poised, and don't

:41:19. > :41:22.worry, we will be coming back to the hockey after the newsbreak, to show

:41:23. > :41:28.you the whole of the second half, with England leading New Zealand by

:41:29. > :41:34.1-0. That is it for the time being. Time now for a quick news update

:41:35. > :41:36.here on BBC Three, and we will see you in just

:41:37. > :41:39.We've got factory boys and butchers' apprentices and office clerks

:41:40. > :41:45.Don't stop moving! If you go back you'll die!

:41:46. > :42:06.Back to Glasgow after a quick update.

:42:07. > :42:08.Officials here are looking into reports that

:42:09. > :42:10.a soldier missing in Gaza has dual British-Israeli nationality.

:42:11. > :42:12.A ceasefire collapsed today hours after it began.

:42:13. > :42:15.Eyewitnesses said roads just exploded.

:42:16. > :42:18.A series of big explosions in Taiwan have killed at least 25 people

:42:19. > :42:23.The force tossed vehicles into the air.

:42:24. > :42:25.CBBC actor Carl Beatson Asiedu was murdered five years ago.

:42:26. > :42:27.Today police offered a new reward for information.

:42:28. > :42:32.They want to trace Jeffrey Okafor, who's thought to be in Nigeria.

:42:33. > :42:34.Teenage Commonwealth Games gold medallist Chika Amalaha is facing

:42:50. > :43:01.Right now, back to Manish and more live action from Glasgow.

:43:02. > :43:03.Yeah, I am looking for a Prince Charming.

:43:04. > :43:07.I don't think I'm ugly, but I don't think I'm, like, really pretty.

:43:08. > :43:12.I say, "You've got something on your bum." "Really?" And I say,

:43:13. > :44:21.place to watch your favourite sport, uninterrupted. For example,

:44:22. > :44:27.it is the boxing semifinals all day to day. Simply go to the BBC Sport

:44:28. > :44:32.Commonwealth Games home page and you can watch every punch of every

:44:33. > :44:37.session. You can even rewind and catch up on any bouts you might have

:44:38. > :44:44.missed. Let's head back to the National Hockey Centre at Glasgow

:44:45. > :44:48.Green, with England's women 1-0 up against New Zealand. Back to our

:44:49. > :45:10.commentators, Leslie and Mel. Danson gets England under way in

:45:11. > :45:21.this second-half. Charlton and Dennison working together there.

:45:22. > :45:27.Michelsen finds Parkes, and I do not think Michelsen was quite ready for

:45:28. > :45:30.that pass back. MEL CLEWLOW: England have negated

:45:31. > :45:37.the threat of New Zealand exceptionally well. Punt has not

:45:38. > :45:42.been given the space in midfield. Gemma Flynn also, we have not

:45:43. > :45:45.mentioned her name to much today. Those two are really important

:45:46. > :45:53.players, and New Zealand really need them to be firing. This is Nicola

:45:54. > :45:59.White. Batted away by Forgesson. But again, New Zealand, just not quite

:46:00. > :46:04.in sync. Forgesson again sweeps the ball, and then gets some position,

:46:05. > :46:19.as Whitelock manages to keep possession. Michelsen. And again,

:46:20. > :46:30.Whitelock, into that circle. Michelsen again, into the circle.

:46:31. > :46:37.Chance. No. The crowd, appreciating the pressure that England have been

:46:38. > :46:52.under, and it is cleared through Glynn. Ansley.

:46:53. > :47:06.Turnover ball. White, tackled by Charlton. Probably been the best of

:47:07. > :47:11.the New Zealanders, Sam Charlton. But Bray beats Whitelock. And we

:47:12. > :47:24.have not seen that very much after, 12 games. Glynn for England. Whistle

:47:25. > :47:31.goes. Number 13 for England, Quek. Batted away by Whitelock, this time.

:47:32. > :47:41.Forgesson looking to come back. Gets it on her stick. Might have been a

:47:42. > :47:47.bit lucky there, the Kiwis. I think Anneliese thought that the ball was

:47:48. > :47:54.played up into Forgesson by Kate Richardson-Walsh.

:47:55. > :48:02.Now, the goal-scorer, Owsley, but it is Michelsen who retrieves. It is a

:48:03. > :48:05.good contest between the two youngsters. Scrambling in the

:48:06. > :48:44.midfield. Bray, up to Glynn. Webster, on her own.

:48:45. > :48:52.Drives it through. -- finds Glynn. There is the threat of a bit of rain

:48:53. > :48:56.coming in. Naylor. We have not seen a lot of this, in terms of keeping

:48:57. > :49:05.possession. It has just been one speed forward to. Now, Charlton,

:49:06. > :49:12.driving the ball, lifting it in, and the goalkeeper does well. Good work

:49:13. > :49:19.from Forgesson, how did she steal that ball? And the drive in, and

:49:20. > :49:20.this time it is Giselle Ansley who has the ball for England. The

:49:21. > :49:39.youngsters stepping up. This is a tough one to try and

:49:40. > :49:43.check, but Naylor does well. I do not know if it is a tactic, but

:49:44. > :49:47.there is a lot of crash ball going into the English circle. At the

:49:48. > :50:04.moment, the English defenders are picking it off really easily.

:50:05. > :50:11.Unsworth has Quek behind her. She allows Sam Quek to come up and take

:50:12. > :50:18.the ball. It came up off the foot of Quek as

:50:19. > :50:40.she drove Grant waiting on the left wing.

:50:41. > :50:53.Grant Nel with the ball. Shot at goal! Saved by goalkeeper Hinch. I

:50:54. > :50:57.think it came off Katie Glynn. So, it is grant on the edge of the

:50:58. > :51:01.circle. It is a tackle actually by Unsworth, which meant the pace of

:51:02. > :51:15.the delivery from Grant was not what she hoped.

:51:16. > :51:50.Michelsen has the ball for New Zealand. And yet is a foot! Penalty

:51:51. > :51:58.corner, New Zealand! -- and gets a foot. England cannot really

:51:59. > :52:03.complain, because Kylie Seymour, the umpire, said she was more than happy

:52:04. > :52:06.with that decision. Michelsen runs into the circle, and as Hollie Webb

:52:07. > :52:14.is trying to close down, the ball is played onto her feet. Michelsen to

:52:15. > :52:23.take it from the base. Waiting at the top, for New Zealand,

:52:24. > :52:30.Whitelock, Punt and Glynn. And a great save from Hinch. Naylor cannot

:52:31. > :52:36.put the rebound in. The crowd go nuts! As Danson takes the ball from

:52:37. > :52:47.one end to the other! So, a quick breakaway. And Glynn get

:52:48. > :53:30.the ball for New Zealand. Gilbert. Finds Wood. Lunging a bit, the New

:53:31. > :53:38.Zealanders, now. A chance! Shot at goal! Harmlessly over the baseline.

:53:39. > :53:43.It was Gilbert. The players were in there, trying to get a touch. Lovely

:53:44. > :53:48.ball by Lucy Wood. Susie Gilbert with the shot. I think it was Ellie

:53:49. > :53:54.Watton on her knees, trying to get the deflection, but could not quite

:53:55. > :54:00.send it goalwards. Michelsen, out on the right. Lots of space for

:54:01. > :54:10.Michelsen to dribble today. But cut off by the England captain.

:54:11. > :54:16.Hard to get past three England players. Slipped through by Punt,

:54:17. > :54:39.but Michelsen was not ready. Forgesson does really well, and she

:54:40. > :54:45.has stolen a bit of possession today.

:54:46. > :55:13.Strong drive through, but picked off.

:55:14. > :55:28.Thompson is back there for New Zealand. And Webster. Under

:55:29. > :55:30.pressure. The ball is not falling to wear the New Zealand women want it

:55:31. > :55:51.to. We are so used to New Zealand in

:55:52. > :55:55.this tournament playing a free-flowing, attacking style of

:55:56. > :55:57.hockey. It almost looks like they are getting to the English defence

:55:58. > :56:03.of 25, and running out of ideas. are getting to the English defence

:56:04. > :56:11.of 25, Scriven through by Dennison. Webster now,, on her stick. Gets

:56:12. > :56:22.into the circle. Cocks. But the captain is there, all 330 caps of

:56:23. > :56:34.experience. And Sophie Cocks has got 43 as well.

:56:35. > :56:39.Dennison has pushed right up the field. The drive in, we have seen

:56:40. > :56:52.that so many times from New Zealand. They are not able to get the passing

:56:53. > :56:59.going. The coach, not giving much away. They pretty much stay the

:57:00. > :57:06.same, don't they? But they might change now! Lucy Wood! Oh, Whitelock

:57:07. > :57:20.picks up a great tackle, but she will have it against her.

:57:21. > :57:42.A chance to relieve the pressure for New Zealand. It might not be falling

:57:43. > :57:46.for the New Zealand women, but one person who is having a very good

:57:47. > :57:55.game is Samantha Charlton. Forgesson tries to keep the ball in.

:57:56. > :58:14.Now, Owsley will get the free hit. Every time she touches the ball,

:58:15. > :58:23.something happens. She is either go forward girl for England.

:58:24. > :58:44.Quek, dragged in by Flynn, that was an important steel. The ball through

:58:45. > :58:52.to Cocks, on the angle. Cocks. Still has the ball!

:58:53. > :59:08.And Dennison gets dispossessed. And Bray is making some yardage. No,

:59:09. > :59:31.takes the fallback. Only one goal in it. 20 minutes left

:59:32. > :00:00.in the match. You can sense that England are on

:00:01. > :00:10.top at this stage in the one on ones, tackling in pairs. New Zealand

:00:11. > :00:20.chasing hard, continued to press. It is just not falling for them.

:00:21. > :00:41.Lily Owsley just too close when that ball came down.

:00:42. > :01:08.In the end, just catches the foot of Krystal Forgesson. Great pass by

:01:09. > :01:12.Kate Richardson-Walsh. I think England have trapped just about

:01:13. > :01:18.everything that has come their way today. I think they learned their

:01:19. > :01:21.lesson when they played against Scotland. A home nations battle is

:01:22. > :01:26.something you can get yourselves up for. They would have gone away and

:01:27. > :01:31.looked at their own performances, particularly in the second half.

:01:32. > :01:33.They were dominated the Scottish team. Today they come out and stuck

:01:34. > :01:54.to their task very well. Lily Owsley is always making her way

:01:55. > :02:05.up the field. Alex Danson wanted it early, and she

:02:06. > :02:56.got it, but New Zealand clear. England are happy to ? around. -- to

:02:57. > :03:19.knock it around. They have control. Again, Lili Owsley with the ball.

:03:20. > :03:26.The goalkeeper stops for England. The ball is still alive! A shot at

:03:27. > :03:32.goal! A penalty corner for England. 16 minutes left in this semifinal.

:03:33. > :03:34.Their first penalty 16 minutes left in this semifinal.

:03:35. > :03:41.Their first corner of the game. Great skills in here. Lucy Wood just

:03:42. > :03:49.tries to get it in front. The ball hit the foot of Thompson. They have

:03:50. > :04:15.a number of options. It is in! No, over the top! Long

:04:16. > :04:38.corner. New Zealand breathe a sigh of relief.

:04:39. > :04:46.Richardson-Walsh. Georgie Twigg with a follow-up. Fantastic play by Emily

:04:47. > :05:10.Naylor to send the ball over the top.

:05:11. > :05:19.Charlton has been pretty much perfect all day. The quick legs of

:05:20. > :05:20.Anita Punt now. England forced them outside. England are defending in

:05:21. > :05:33.numbers. The free hit is won by Sam Charlton.

:05:34. > :06:37.Up to Anita Punt. Again, the Kiwis search for...

:06:38. > :06:55.England are working Again, the Kiwis search for...

:06:56. > :06:57.New Zealand ball carriers the Again, the Kiwis search for...

:06:58. > :07:03.to get their head up and make the pass. I think they realise that New

:07:04. > :07:12.Zealand are best playing into space.

:07:13. > :07:58.They have starved New Zealand of possession today. Again, they forge

:07:59. > :08:36.forward. It comes off the foot of Nicola White and they are off.

:08:37. > :08:52.Sophie clocks gets a foot. Penalty corner for Australia. 11 minutes

:08:53. > :09:02.left in the match. Sophie Coks does really well here. She plays it onto

:09:03. > :09:04.her feet. England are scrambling to defend, get the right number of

:09:05. > :09:31.offenders back. Punt! It will be another penalty

:09:32. > :09:40.corner. New Zealand need to remember that they don't have a referral.

:09:41. > :09:44.They are calling for it, but they don't have one. Great running by

:09:45. > :10:02.Ellie Watton to block that. Anita Punt. It will be a long

:10:03. > :10:07.corner. Everything that New Zealand is the one that England is not

:10:08. > :10:36.coming off. They are reading it, in the zoom, England. -- in the zone.

:10:37. > :10:48.Free hit for New Zealand just outside the dotted line. I am not

:10:49. > :11:09.sure why that was overturned, but no complaints from New Zealand.

:11:10. > :11:28.Good spotting. What a pass! Alex Danson! Outstanding vision by

:11:29. > :11:38.England to put the up and over. Great ball by Giselle Ansley.

:11:39. > :12:09.A free hit defence. A card for Anita Punt. A yellow. That was against

:12:10. > :12:20.Petrea Webster. Who is off? Yes, Petrea Webster. New Zealand are

:12:21. > :12:32.playing the last remnants of this match with only ten players.

:12:33. > :12:46.The noise increases. Stacey Mickelson has won it for New

:12:47. > :12:58.Zealand. She puts it through to Krystal Forgesson.

:12:59. > :13:07.New Zealand have one too many on, have they? They have ten. They are

:13:08. > :13:18.meant to have only nine field players. Nine plus the goalkeeper.

:13:19. > :13:33.They had too many. They had to take Stacey Mickelson. So, the captain

:13:34. > :13:39.has to go, as well. So, a mistake the rotations. New Zealand played

:13:40. > :13:45.when there were only meant to have ten on the field, but they had 11.

:13:46. > :14:00.Because of that, the captain has to be removed from the field of play.

:14:01. > :14:06.Is it a yellow card offence? I guess it happened in the World Cup with

:14:07. > :14:11.the Argentina men against England -- against Britain. I think it is

:14:12. > :14:25.something that the officials are now picking up on. So, Petrea Webster is

:14:26. > :14:26.off, and Kayla Whitelock is off for a technical infringement, having too

:14:27. > :14:41.many players on the field. 11 versus nine. Free hit for New

:14:42. > :15:52.Zealand. Punt now, Owsley with the ball, and

:15:53. > :16:04.lucky for New Zealand. They are playing to the whistle. It is all

:16:05. > :16:09.happening. A free hit to the defence.

:16:10. > :16:14.New Zealand are just need to calm down, with what has happened.

:16:15. > :16:21.New Zealand are just need to calm minutes left, three of those will be

:16:22. > :16:23.with players down. England using their experience a very well to

:16:24. > :16:30.waste seconds wherever they can. their experience a very well to

:16:31. > :16:49.waste A bigger drive through from Punt.

:16:50. > :16:54.Webster and Whitelock on a yellow because of the technical

:16:55. > :17:08.infringement. Too many players on the park.

:17:09. > :18:00.Grant. Clever skill. Another yellow card. Tender side. -- ten aside.

:18:01. > :18:17.Webster has it for England. A yellow card for Danson, England will finish

:18:18. > :18:34.with only ten on the field. Mesmerising from Lucy, but it is one

:18:35. > :18:45.back. Ainsley mops up. That probably just about epitomises the type of

:18:46. > :18:50.game in New Zealand have had today. What an inspirational game from

:18:51. > :19:01.England. Usually disappointed after an 11th placing at the World Cup.

:19:02. > :19:09.They had a tournament before Glasgow in London and they won it, albeit

:19:10. > :19:26.closely. But they have put together... And a goal! Who would

:19:27. > :19:50.have believed it? The back on the field, Whitelock the -- re-enters

:19:51. > :20:03.the game. Katie : Glynn, you take your hat off, unbelievable play.

:20:04. > :20:11.And it hits the post! Will there be a referral? This game has all of

:20:12. > :20:19.it! A great reverse shot onto the post.

:20:20. > :20:34.Richardson Walshe, with a minute to go, absolutely right to referral of

:20:35. > :20:40.this. Can you look for the first infringement, please?

:20:41. > :20:49.I will. Thank you.

:20:50. > :21:02.This is it, off the post. Unbelievable. Centimetres.

:21:03. > :21:08.Centimetres away. In her 150th game. That led to the penalty corner which

:21:09. > :21:16.has been given for the tackle by Unsworth.

:21:17. > :21:31.This is what we are looking at. Where does that stick come from?

:21:32. > :21:37.Penalty corner, in my mind. Instructions being given to

:21:38. > :21:45.Forgesson, who runs out with the message now.

:21:46. > :21:50.There is no clear reason to change your decision.

:21:51. > :21:56.So we are staying with the corner, they lose the referral, is that

:21:57. > :22:06.correct? Yes.

:22:07. > :22:13.Time for the defence to dawn their protective equipment. The clock is

:22:14. > :22:21.counting down. 20 seconds for them to get their gear on. New Zealand,

:22:22. > :22:27.desperately trying to get back into the game, have evened up receding

:22:28. > :22:43.Sykes to a magical goal from Katie Glynn. -- evened up proceedings.

:22:44. > :22:56.Under one minutes to play. Forgesson With the dive, and a penalty corner

:22:57. > :23:09.this time. The South African umpire has called it.

:23:10. > :23:21.It has to be an umpire's referral. They are saying that Richardson

:23:22. > :23:30.Walshe took the free hit with a face mask on, you are not supposed to do

:23:31. > :23:43.that. Eight seconds remain on the clock in

:23:44. > :23:56.this second semifinal. The last few minutes full of drama. There it is,

:23:57. > :24:02.hitting it with the mask on. They will wind the clock down. Final

:24:03. > :24:16.play, unless we go through a shoot out. Poised and waiting,

:24:17. > :24:28.Richardson-Walsh, and it is a 1-1 draw at the end of regulation. The

:24:29. > :24:46.will be a penalty shoot out. What a comeback. At the end of two lots of

:24:47. > :25:21.35 minutes, it is 1-1. Stepping up first for England,

:25:22. > :25:36.Georgia Twigg. As long as it is with him that eight seconds you can have

:25:37. > :25:57.another go. -- within. 1-0, England. It is good from Twigg, she changed

:25:58. > :26:05.the angle and executed very well. Making sure she knows where the goal

:26:06. > :26:15.is. Eight seconds for Whitelock to get her team on the board. In it

:26:16. > :26:35.goes. Really composed finish. Tripling the

:26:36. > :26:50.whole time -- dribbling. Danson, for England. Off she goes. Rutherford

:26:51. > :27:04.hovering, and in it goes for England. Well played, Alex Danson.

:27:05. > :27:24.Runs on the angle, possibly could have been a penalty, but diving,

:27:25. > :27:35.puts the ball into the empty goal. Anita Punt up next. Starting from

:27:36. > :27:57.her left, not the middle. Mind games being played. And it works. She has

:27:58. > :28:03.done it, Hinch. England now one a head.

:28:04. > :28:11.Giving herself more of a lever, a longer reach.

:28:12. > :28:24.Second semifinal at the Commonwealth Games. Suzy Gilbert next. Gilbert

:28:25. > :28:37.versus Rutherford. It is in. One more for England. Suzy Gilbert,

:28:38. > :28:45.always looking at where Sally Rutherford is going. She just moves

:28:46. > :28:58.it that little bit further. Rutherford dives, but could not keep

:28:59. > :29:03.it out. Glynn, the goal-scorer

:29:04. > :29:04.it out. this situation. This must go in, the

:29:05. > :29:18.pressure now on Glynn. Already this situation. This must go in, the

:29:19. > :29:29.the net once, and... No foul. Another save for England.

:29:30. > :29:37.Just to straight from Katie Glynn. Just did not look like she knew

:29:38. > :29:42.where she needed to go on that one. If this goes in England are in the

:29:43. > :29:54.final. They most certainly are. There she

:29:55. > :30:08.is. 24-year-old. Has the ball, Rutherford makes a strong stand, it

:30:09. > :30:18.is a miss. Hope for New Zealand yet. England's first Miss. Rutherford cut

:30:19. > :30:21.down the angle. Sophie will be disappointed with

:30:22. > :31:03.that. She is usually good the backhand. Maddie Hinch has been the

:31:04. > :31:10.hero for England! They are through to the gold medal match! The only

:31:11. > :31:14.way they have been able to separate these two sides as with the penalty

:31:15. > :31:29.shot died. It will be an England Australia final. Hugs all around,

:31:30. > :31:34.especially for the goalkeeper. England will have to put aside their

:31:35. > :31:40.3-0 loss to Australia earlier in the campaign. You have to give them

:31:41. > :31:45.credit. They finished 11th in the World Cup six weeks ago and it was

:31:46. > :31:48.doom and gloom. They have and always paid their most attractive hockey,

:31:49. > :31:54.but they are into the final. They have guaranteed themselves a medal.

:31:55. > :31:57.It gives a nice shine to the summer. You have to feel sorry for New

:31:58. > :32:12.Zealand, a horrible way to end the match. The players shaking hands. It

:32:13. > :32:25.was 1-1 at full-time, into the shoot out, England win the shoot out 4-2.

:32:26. > :32:35.Maddie Hinch, huge congratulations. You must be delighted with your

:32:36. > :32:42.performance. I am really pleased. It is a massive team effort. I knew

:32:43. > :32:46.they would score, so why have the confidence that all I had to do was

:32:47. > :32:51.stop a few and we would win. Some big stops for you in the match. Yes,

:32:52. > :32:57.but it was a solid performance all round. I'm glad I did my job well

:32:58. > :33:01.today. Australia is always a tough match. They have their sights set on

:33:02. > :33:06.gold. Did you have a chance to look at their match against South

:33:07. > :33:11.Africa? No, we were focused on the skin. We know Australia very well,

:33:12. > :33:18.we play them a lot. In the pool game, we felt we matched them. I

:33:19. > :33:26.think will be a close encounter. Thanks so much.

:33:27. > :33:33.However nervous? Jangling! We always take to the wire. I am so angry with

:33:34. > :33:38.myself because it was my player that I was marking who scored at the end.

:33:39. > :33:46.Just lack of concentration from me. We have practised hard on penalties.

:33:47. > :33:50.Maddie Hinch is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. The

:33:51. > :33:57.atmosphere throughout the match was incredible. England had so much

:33:58. > :34:01.support! In every game this support has been amazing. It is such a good

:34:02. > :34:08.venue. All the noise comes into the picture. The Scotland game was epic,

:34:09. > :34:13.bag types and everything! Today the crowd was fantastic again. We know

:34:14. > :34:20.how strong Australia are. Three out of the last four titles. Where does

:34:21. > :34:23.your strength like going into the match? When we played them

:34:24. > :34:30.recently, I think we do know how to break them down. Our midfielders and

:34:31. > :34:35.forwards can break to their backline. We will need to be brave

:34:36. > :34:39.on the ball. We need to cut through their press. If we can do that, we

:34:40. > :34:48.will get opportunities. How are you feeling? Is this you heading into

:34:49. > :34:56.your final match as a player? I am going to take some time after the

:34:57. > :35:00.game to make sure I get the decision right. I will play applicable as my

:35:01. > :35:07.last game. It will be a fantastic occasion. -- I will play it as if it

:35:08. > :35:11.is my last game. It will be emotional. Of course. You live for

:35:12. > :35:17.these games. From where we were a few weeks ago until now, the girls

:35:18. > :35:20.have come on leaps and bounds. How much rebuilding has been going on

:35:21. > :35:30.since the world championship disappointment? It is a quick

:35:31. > :35:35.turnaround. It is a very busy year. We had a couple of weeks to have

:35:36. > :35:40.another selection, regroup and review and come here. We have worked

:35:41. > :35:50.so hard. The final step! Best of luck for tomorrow. Thank you.

:35:51. > :36:05.That is a magic result. England pulling the rabbit out of the hat.

:36:06. > :36:10.That is how the penalty shoot outs be done!

:36:11. > :36:27.It is the first time women's boxing lobby in the Commonwealth. I want to

:36:28. > :36:33.win gold. I can't be distracted. Lots of hard work, a big engine and

:36:34. > :36:41.a big heart has got him through. Alanna Audley-Murphy, a brilliant

:36:42. > :36:47.competitive performance. I want to do the job, get the gold. Best punch

:36:48. > :36:55.in the contest! Williams is all over him. Michaela Walsh has secured

:36:56. > :37:03.herself some metal hardware, but what colour will it be? Anything

:37:04. > :37:07.less than gold will be a major disappointment. Every time I get in

:37:08. > :37:13.the ring I have got to bring my top game for the chance to make history

:37:14. > :37:17.again. Over at the SECC it is semi finals day in boxing across all 13

:37:18. > :37:24.with divisions, the men's and women's. Up for grabs is a place in

:37:25. > :37:41.the finals tomorrow. The next bite we are going to show you is Qais

:37:42. > :37:47.Ashfaq against Benson the Jan Carew -- Benson Njangiru.

:37:48. > :38:00.So, this is the last Kenyans left in the competition. Qais Ashfaq is the

:38:01. > :38:09.man in red. The opponent in blue is the most experienced member of the

:38:10. > :38:14.Kenyan team, Benson Njangiru. He has boxed and the Olympics, a couple of

:38:15. > :38:18.world Championships. He took silver in Delhi at a slightly lighter

:38:19. > :38:26.division, the 52 kilograms division. So, Benson Njangiru in blue, Qais

:38:27. > :38:37.Ashfaq in red. Qais Ashfaq has had a good Commonwealth Games so far. He

:38:38. > :38:46.has his hands full with this Kenyan. Benson Njangiru is skilful,

:38:47. > :38:52.strong on the front foot. Qais Ashfaq just has to get his timing

:38:53. > :38:58.right. He has good, fast hands. He needs the box existence. This guy he

:38:59. > :39:04.is up against is strong, but predict the ball. He will walk on the

:39:05. > :39:10.punches. Good hands by Qais Ashfaq. Kept him nicely on the chin. The

:39:11. > :39:15.Polish referee just says to Benson Njangiru, brush Down Under gloves.

:39:16. > :39:21.Qais Ashfaq is boxing very nicely indeed. Fast hands from Qais Ashfaq.

:39:22. > :39:26.Eight cracking right hook. He brought him onto it. Benson Njangiru

:39:27. > :39:35.dropped his left hand and walked onto it.

:39:36. > :39:50.Qais Ashfaq is moving very nicely. He is the taller of the two. Nice

:39:51. > :39:55.variation, uppercut them right hook. Three three-minute rounds, remember.

:39:56. > :40:05.Five judges at ringside, and a computer selects three of them to

:40:06. > :40:07.count their scores. A ten point system. The winner of the Rhine gets

:40:08. > :40:19.ten points, the loser can get system. The winner of the Rhine gets

:40:20. > :40:24.six up to nine. I have not seen a 10-6 Rhine so far. Most of the time

:40:25. > :40:29.it is 10-9. Good opening round by Qais Ashfaq. He has boxed very

:40:30. > :40:36.cleverly. He hasn't wasted too much energy wasted too many shots.

:40:37. > :40:52.The referee light system them get on with it. A very good three minutes

:40:53. > :40:55.for Qais Ashfaq. Great display of counterpunching by Qais Ashfaq. He

:40:56. > :41:03.just brought his opponents onto his right hook. Throughout the round,

:41:04. > :41:08.Qais Ashfaq boxed very well on the back foot. Brought his opponent onto

:41:09. > :41:23.the shots. He will have every judge, no question.

:41:24. > :41:39.Five English boxers into the medals. It has been a long time since Ken --

:41:40. > :41:43.Kenya were a force in boxing. It has been tough for what we would call

:41:44. > :41:49.the traditional African countries to break into the top level of medals.

:41:50. > :41:57.Second round for Qais Ashfaq. He won the opening round. His

:41:58. > :42:03.counterpunching is just too much for Benson Njangiru. Benson Njangiru has

:42:04. > :42:10.boxed in a couple of Olympic games, a couple of world Championships.

:42:11. > :42:19.Sweet right hand by Qais Ashfaq. Moving out of trouble. Wonderfully

:42:20. > :42:25.quick feet. If Benson Njangiru is going to have any success, he needs

:42:26. > :42:30.to be quicker. The speed of this has suited Qais Ashfaq down to the

:42:31. > :42:36.ground. He can slow things down, watch the attacks come at him. He is

:42:37. > :42:48.boxing in second gear, here. In total control. Benson Njangiru is

:42:49. > :42:54.having a problem with this style of the Englishman. He looks a bit small

:42:55. > :43:09.at bantamweight. Good footwork yet again.

:43:10. > :43:23.Benson Njangiru tried to draw Qais Ashfaq's hands down, but to no

:43:24. > :43:36.effect. Benson Njangiru is too far out, his stance is too wide.

:43:37. > :43:46.I am just looking at the English coaches, and they are living every

:43:47. > :43:53.single punch. Last minute of the second round. Another round to the

:43:54. > :44:00.man in red, I am pretty sure. He has boxed beautifully. Just have to keep

:44:01. > :44:05.the concentration up, don't get complacent. Yes, he is boxing very

:44:06. > :44:16.well indeed, making it simple for himself. A bit of a bang of heads.

:44:17. > :44:19.That has caused a lot of controversy, has entered contests

:44:20. > :44:20.that would not have been entered if they were still wearing head

:44:21. > :44:39.guards. It has caused a problem for Michael

:44:40. > :44:44.Conlon, and it is up to the Northern Irish team to try and get his eye

:44:45. > :44:53.right before the next round. So, Qais Ashfaq, his coaches will be

:44:54. > :44:58.pleased at him, won't they? They will be delighted. He is boxing to

:44:59. > :45:05.his strengths, on the back foot. That was a fantastic left hand. He

:45:06. > :45:11.draws the lead of his opponent. He drew the lead, then went back at

:45:12. > :45:12.him. Classic counterpunching. One judge has even gone 10-8. I wouldn't

:45:13. > :45:31.disagree with that. the left eye? I don't think it is

:45:32. > :45:35.anything to worry about. Their heads clashed a couple of

:45:36. > :45:48.times, they just have to concentrate on boxing distance again.

:45:49. > :45:56.One more round to go. That should see the man in red, the southpaw

:45:57. > :46:00.from Leeds, English bantamweight, through to his first ever

:46:01. > :46:06.Commonwealth Games final. He is 21 years of age and has been boxing

:46:07. > :46:20.well around Europe. Had some success in Finland. Most recently defeated

:46:21. > :46:28.an old foe, Joe Ham, but the man in blue, Benson Njangiru, knows she is

:46:29. > :46:33.behind and must stop this contest, but I don't think he would be

:46:34. > :46:40.allowed to do that. Still a bit tentative. Has been that much more

:46:41. > :46:45.confident all the way through, Ashfaq.

:46:46. > :46:50.Sustained pressure is what their man needs now in this last round. But he

:46:51. > :46:57.has opted just to stay on the outside and keeps getting picked

:46:58. > :47:09.off. Again, this is bread and butter for Ashfaq, who must just now stay

:47:10. > :47:12.concentrated and avoid complacency. They have invested heavily in tenure

:47:13. > :47:26.in the last couple of years and have a full complement of boxes. -- in

:47:27. > :47:37.Kenya. -- boxers. But this is their last man standing, Njangiru. He is

:47:38. > :47:48.looking for one big shot. Good footwork by Ashfaq to get himself

:47:49. > :47:54.out of trouble. A quieter round. Such a contrast to the previous

:47:55. > :48:02.contest. But that is the look of the draw. Having said that, Ashfaq has

:48:03. > :48:13.made it easy on himself, adopted the right tactics, drew in his opponent,

:48:14. > :48:19.fought as a classic counterpuncher. He is now less than 30 seconds from

:48:20. > :48:32.a place in the final. The bantamweight division, 56 kilograms.

:48:33. > :48:39.A good little combination by Ashfaq right at the end, he has won this

:48:40. > :48:47.with a bit to spare. Keeps himself out of trouble. He is delighted and

:48:48. > :48:51.can now let the emotions go. A very composed and professional

:48:52. > :49:07.performance takes him through to the final. He has changed bronze into

:49:08. > :49:14.either silver or gold. He has the chance of even more.

:49:15. > :49:23.A clever display from Ashfaq, got caught occasionally, but boxed

:49:24. > :49:30.within himself. When you can win a semifinal like that, it just pops

:49:31. > :49:40.off for me. You have got a lot of talent if you can do that.

:49:41. > :49:43.The judges all in agreement, the winner and going to the bantamweight

:49:44. > :50:04.final, in the red corner, representing England, Qais Ashfaq!

:50:05. > :50:15.They took it 30-27, 30-26, and 29-28. It is onwards and upwards for

:50:16. > :50:25.England's and wait, -- bantamweight, Qais Ashfaq.

:50:26. > :50:29.Well done, very convincing. I just kept composed, landed the

:50:30. > :50:35.shots. What did you make of that?

:50:36. > :50:40.He moved the whale and did not get involved in too many exchanges, made

:50:41. > :50:47.boxing will easy. I said he would go on and win the gold medal.

:50:48. > :50:53.How much of an influence has this guy been for you?

:50:54. > :50:59.Amazing. He makes me want to win it much more.

:51:00. > :51:08.You are in the final. Yes in the final, aiming for gold.

:51:09. > :51:14.Many congratulations. Well done, Qais Ashfaq one more

:51:15. > :51:34.fight to win gold. After a really busy daytime session

:51:35. > :51:42.in the boxing, mixed fortunes for the home nations. We have just seen

:51:43. > :51:48.that Qais Ashfaq will fight for gold against Michael Conlon of Northern

:51:49. > :51:54.Ireland. But unfortunately Rhys McFadden will have to settle for

:51:55. > :52:04.bronze. Josh Taylor, he came through in the welterweight division. Joe

:52:05. > :52:10.Joyce, he did not have two lace up today, he goes into the

:52:11. > :52:15.superheavyweight final virtue of a walkover.

:52:16. > :52:30.We'll take a break now hurt in terms of coverage for a quick news update.

:52:31. > :52:42.And it's about time that I did something about that.

:52:43. > :53:14.Back to Glasgow after a quick update. Officials are looking at

:53:15. > :53:20.reports that a captured soldier has dual British Israeli nationality. A

:53:21. > :53:24.deadly Ebola outbreak is spreading faster than efforts to control

:53:25. > :53:27.according to the WHO believe it could be catastrophic in terms of

:53:28. > :53:45.lives lost. A foul at least one peer has been treated as suspicious. --

:53:46. > :53:52.fire at Eastbourne Pier. What song is the strangest lyrics ever? A

:53:53. > :53:58.Newport reckons it is a song by the killers. -- a new poll.

:53:59. > :54:02.I leave the ashram, travel halfway across the world to find my father,

:54:03. > :54:10.Oh, well. As Vashrati says, gotta keep smiling!

:54:11. > :54:13.We don't tend to use the bathroom together here.

:54:14. > :54:15.All right, well, I'll catch you later.

:54:16. > :54:18.This ashram of yours, it might be a cult.

:54:19. > :54:22.I take it back, he's definitely Cuckoo's son.

:54:23. > :54:53.Welcome back. We had next to the science Museum. This will be the

:54:54. > :55:05.place to be for the next couple of days. From 9:30pm tonight, a real

:55:06. > :55:13.treat, people abseiling down from the top of the museum. And the

:55:14. > :55:22.nearby boats will be used as stages. There will be flares,

:55:23. > :55:30.fireworks, beat boxers, and music from right around the cultures. It

:55:31. > :55:53.is all going off. And there will be warships. HMS Bangor, we saw it

:55:54. > :56:03.reversing. Coming up, a sport dominated by

:56:04. > :56:12.Singapore. Here's a quick guide as to how to play it.

:56:13. > :56:23.Table tennis is a quick and skilful sport requiring a combination of

:56:24. > :56:29.power and delicacy. Players have different control over speed and

:56:30. > :56:37.spin. Each rally begins with a server which must be hit from behind

:56:38. > :56:45.the table, before crossing the net it must bounce on the server's side.

:56:46. > :56:52.Each of the players must then strike the ball in return. Those who hit

:56:53. > :56:57.out to lose the point. After every two points, service is changed.

:56:58. > :57:07.Matches are the best of five sets with a set one by 11 point four.

:57:08. > :57:12.They are bubbles, Mixed Doubles, and separate team competitions for men

:57:13. > :57:16.and women. In the semifinals of the men's

:57:17. > :57:21.doubles, William Richford, current English national champion, alongside

:57:22. > :57:27.Paul Tring call, to convert the Singapore team.

:57:28. > :58:18.So much said about the might of the Singaporean line-up. But you get the

:58:19. > :58:27.So much said about the might of the Singaporean line-up. But you feeling

:58:28. > :58:52.that Drinkhall and Pritchford are not at all daunted. Classy players.

:58:53. > :59:00.Service just drifting a little long, Drinkhall seized the opportunity.

:59:01. > :59:05.Important the English keep the momentum. The Singaporean duo are

:59:06. > :59:27.very consistent and stable. A good response. Well-balanced. If

:59:28. > :59:46.there is anybody who is safe, secure and will, reliant, it is Gao Ning.

:59:47. > :59:58.Gao Ning, highest ranked player in the men's tournament, number 12 in

:59:59. > :00:10.the world, he has been inside the top ten. A very impressive resume.

:00:11. > :00:18.Did extremely well to win that point. After a

:00:19. > :00:27.Did extremely well to win that you return. -- earlier.

:00:28. > :00:33.What a charge back from Drinkhall and Pritchford who have now levelled

:00:34. > :01:17.the opening game. That momentum you were talking about.

:01:18. > :01:23.ball? England's lead for the first time.

:01:24. > :02:39.Singapore now only two points from taking the opening game.

:02:40. > :03:27.There must be a 2-point margin to win this game.

:03:28. > :03:33.The pair from Singapore are the top seeds.

:03:34. > :03:46.Well saved. Paul Drinkhall coming up with something very special. It was

:03:47. > :03:53.tremendous. To some extent, he was off balance and the direction of the

:03:54. > :04:07.play was quite incredible. Two game point saved by the English pair.

:04:08. > :04:16.What a shot from Li Hu. Looking for the forehand.

:04:17. > :04:34.There is the opening game. It was tight. 13-11.

:04:35. > :04:44.It was a close game. Li Hu looked tentative now and again. Gao Ning is

:04:45. > :04:50.Mr safety and winning the first game, I think it settles Li Hu a

:04:51. > :04:58.little bit and let's see what happens. We have a top-class sparing

:04:59. > :05:02.in Gao Ning and Li Hu. Twice in a row winning the world torment's

:05:03. > :05:16.doubles finals. They are world-class. Gao Ning is a very --

:05:17. > :05:24.the coach is a very wise man indeed. Gao Ning is talking to Li Hu. It

:05:25. > :05:27.happens without knowing, one player assumes the team captain role and I

:05:28. > :05:43.think Gao Ning has an important role to play.

:05:44. > :06:33.In doubles play, over the table is crucially important. The sort of

:06:34. > :06:40.point won by Paul Drinkhall. Another aggressive shot from Paul

:06:41. > :07:24.Drinkhall. It was well directed. They are combining well. Liam

:07:25. > :07:28.Pitchford and Paul Drinkhall. They should have confidence, playing well

:07:29. > :07:40.here and making their way in the rankings in the world, as well.

:07:41. > :07:51.That was good play from Singapore over the table.

:07:52. > :07:57.Liam Pitchford has had some good wins in singles. They

:07:58. > :08:01.quarterfinalist at the German open last year and he has notched up wins

:08:02. > :08:05.over extremely good players, including Gao Ning. Top 20 wins, a

:08:06. > :08:43.couple of top 50s. They are so solid. I think you have

:08:44. > :08:58.summed it up perfectly. That was a great attack from the

:08:59. > :09:12.England pair. So far, Li Hu and Gao Ning have

:09:13. > :09:15.played extremely efficiently, nothing expansive, very good near

:09:16. > :09:21.the net and very good over the table.

:09:22. > :09:35.That service drifted too long and Gao Ning saw the opportunity.

:09:36. > :09:43.At this level, the pressure is on every point. The margins are so

:09:44. > :09:46.small. There is not much difference between losing and winning the point

:09:47. > :10:04.and you cannot afford anything loose.

:10:05. > :10:15.Two points from the second game, Gao Ning and Li Hu.

:10:16. > :10:25.Again, superb placement from them. Not going for too much.

:10:26. > :10:34.Joanna Drinkhall at the right and Kelly Sibley at the left, the

:10:35. > :10:41.women's doubles players. Joanna is the wife of Paul Drinkhall. Both in

:10:42. > :11:06.the women's doubles and mixed doubles semifinals.

:11:07. > :11:37.Paul Drinkhall struck the forehand very strongly.

:11:38. > :11:43.Super play, combining superbly, the England pair.

:11:44. > :11:54.Three-game point saved. Has Singapore called a time-out? Yes,

:11:55. > :12:05.very tiny. The three-game point is taken back forcefully by the England

:12:06. > :12:08.team. A good call by the coach, taking the time out when his team

:12:09. > :12:14.are ahead, not when they are in trouble. 2-0 ahead is massively

:12:15. > :12:30.different to 1-1. The last point England won, it

:12:31. > :12:42.underlines the importance in doubles at being good over the table. Joanna

:12:43. > :12:49.Drinkhall in the middle and Kelly Sibley to the left, the women's

:12:50. > :12:54.doubles pairing. Both of those hoping for an England win. Watching

:12:55. > :12:58.the doubles yesterday, I thought there was a new-found spirit in the

:12:59. > :13:02.England team. The way they responded to each other was phenomenal. This

:13:03. > :13:19.is a big moment in this match. The time-out paid off and they go

:13:20. > :13:27.into a 2-0 lead. Extremely tight again, in 11-9. We may look back and

:13:28. > :13:36.see that as a massive call by the coach.

:13:37. > :13:44.We have to congratulate him for the decision. At the moment, the England

:13:45. > :13:50.pair not quite able to keep up the momentum, but take your hats off to

:13:51. > :14:00.Singapore. They have been superb on the return of service and creating

:14:01. > :14:04.the angles. The time for the team to be brave. Talk to each other,

:14:05. > :14:10.encourage each other, try to build momentum and build-up the pace of

:14:11. > :14:15.the match. The England pair are faster players than Singapore. If

:14:16. > :14:20.they can keep a higher tempo, that is the best way to get into the

:14:21. > :14:33.match. Just now and again, you have to take the odd risk.

:14:34. > :14:37.From the Singapore point of view, you know what works. Continue

:14:38. > :15:03.efficiently. Efficiency is the word from the

:15:04. > :15:08.Singapore pair's point of view. The England pair will need some flair.

:15:09. > :15:14.They will have to almost play what you can call their best table tennis

:15:15. > :15:24.to bring this home, especially from 2-0. So far, Gao Ning and Crow have

:15:25. > :15:27.given a good coaching session in how to play men's doubles. There has

:15:28. > :15:47.been nothing in it on the scoreline. Exploding into the fourth. --

:15:48. > :16:48.beforehand. They have got to keep going for

:16:49. > :17:15.those. Waite to win big titles, you have to be brave.

:17:16. > :17:30.They've certainly ignited something here. The rhythm on the forehand.

:17:31. > :17:51.Waite that in these situations, do you play a little bit more freely?

:17:52. > :18:25.Oh-oh. What a shot from Paul Drinkhall. Suddenly Paul Drinkhall

:18:26. > :18:43.and Liam Pitchford have found an incredible amount of momentum.

:18:44. > :18:57.Seven-game points for Drinkhall and Pitchford. And they've come back

:18:58. > :19:03.here taking the Forth game 11-3. The Singaporean pair still games to one,

:19:04. > :19:04.but what a game that was from Drinkhall and Pitchford. They were

:19:05. > :19:14.on fire. When they get a good start, they

:19:15. > :19:25.start to move better and everything goes to a higher level.

:19:26. > :19:32.The roar from the crowd here, the action on the other table, the

:19:33. > :19:38.matches over there and the Singaporean number two seeds, Yang

:19:39. > :19:43.and Zhan have been defeated by the fourth seeds. Achanta and

:19:44. > :20:21.Arputharaj. So one semifinal decided. Now the

:20:22. > :20:24.focus here on taking the next one... Can the underdogs come through here

:20:25. > :20:31.in this remaining semifinal? Replicate the work of the Indian

:20:32. > :20:46.pair next door. It's not as if found really

:20:47. > :20:49.appreciate the brilliance of Singapore and love watching them.

:20:50. > :20:58.Nothing against them, but it's such an upset whenever they lose, because

:20:59. > :21:02.they had been so dominant. But this is the one event on the Commonwealth

:21:03. > :21:08.Games programme that Singapore have never won gold in. So it comes down

:21:09. > :21:40.to Gao and Li. A tremendous return. Great credit.

:21:41. > :21:53.England call a time-out. I think Alan Cooke has no option whatsoever.

:21:54. > :21:59.Li uses that modern-day technique return of serve. It is the very

:22:00. > :22:10.support rest, full round vertical. It has come into table tennis within

:22:11. > :22:11.the last decade. When Li, who was playing that down the parallel, down

:22:12. > :22:18.the line, playing that down the parallel, down

:22:19. > :22:32.The Tiger strikes. You didn't know I the diagonal.

:22:33. > :22:53.The Tiger strikes. You didn't know I was fluent in Chinese, did you?

:22:54. > :23:02.Wonderful atmosphere here at Scotstoun.

:23:03. > :23:16.Same again. All of the doubles are best-of-5 games, so Singapore

:23:17. > :23:22.closing in on victory here. Two points in a row have gone to

:23:23. > :23:26.Singapore with the league who return of service down the parallel. -- the

:23:27. > :23:38.Li return of service. You just feel the extra resolve down

:23:39. > :24:13.the Singapore end of the table. I think, three or four macro minutes

:24:14. > :24:20.to go, England lived in hope but now Singapore, the rugby sufficient. --

:24:21. > :24:26.thoroughly efficient. They are closing the door. Playing down the

:24:27. > :24:32.line, down the parallel, has proved a telling efforts. Paul Drinkhall is

:24:33. > :24:34.somewhat wrong-footed and that is the last three points from the

:24:35. > :24:56.return of serve, using that technique.

:24:57. > :25:03.Every point they win, Drinkhall and Pitchford getting huge encouragement

:25:04. > :25:41.from the crowd here. That is brilliant. Giving them no

:25:42. > :25:52.quarter, no chance there. Got an answer to everything. Gao Ning and

:25:53. > :26:04.Li Hu two points from a place in the final.

:26:05. > :26:15.The pressure, the placement... I have been brilliant I had here, the

:26:16. > :26:35.top seeds. -- they have been brilliant out here, the top seeds.

:26:36. > :26:38.May be too late but that was a tremendous return of serve from Liam

:26:39. > :26:55.Pitchford. What is it about the Number Ten?

:26:56. > :27:08.It's hard to get across that line. For the men from Singapore.

:27:09. > :27:15.Well setup and well finished off by Liam Pitchford. Can they come back

:27:16. > :27:51.here? This is quite remarkable. There are

:27:52. > :28:12.no time-outs left. Four match point saved.

:28:13. > :28:24.Oh, but it's all over. Finally victory for Gao Ning and Li Hu, the

:28:25. > :28:28.top seeds. They played a brilliant game out there to take the

:28:29. > :28:34.semifinal, go through to the final. They will play off for the gold

:28:35. > :28:40.medal. There you just saw the President of the Singapore tennis

:28:41. > :28:43.Association. -- Singapore Table Tennis Association.

:28:44. > :28:46.Association. -- Singapore Table Tennis Association.

:28:47. > :29:04.So great performers therefrom Gao Ning and Li Hu, coming through 3-1

:29:05. > :29:15.to the Men's Doubles finals. If table tennis is one of the many

:29:16. > :29:20.sports on offer here, it has inspired you to take up a new

:29:21. > :29:22.hobby. Have a look at our Get Inspired website. You will find

:29:23. > :29:36.information on local clubs. Time now for some more table

:29:37. > :29:42.tennis, this time in the Mixed Doubles. Once again a place in the

:29:43. > :29:45.gold medal match at stake. We saw Liam Pitchford he was in action a

:29:46. > :29:49.bit earlier with the Men's Doubles. He is in the Mixed Doubles this

:29:50. > :29:55.time, with his partner, the fabulously young and talented

:29:56. > :30:26.tinting hope as England went up against Yang and Zhan of Singapore.

:30:27. > :30:29.after it. People have to make something happen out here. -- he

:30:30. > :30:45.will have to make. If you consider Tin Tin Ho's

:30:46. > :30:52.service, it is quite unique. It is a serving technique we saw with

:30:53. > :30:58.Japanese players in the 1980s, but she has extolled it to perfection.

:30:59. > :31:09.The benefit is it is a different shot for opponents to look at. Only

:31:10. > :31:14.a young Chinese boy from Chinese Taipei has served like that. He was

:31:15. > :31:19.a silver medallist in the youth Olympic Games.

:31:20. > :31:24.The reason for using the technique is that she can control the ball

:31:25. > :32:04.better to keep the service short. They will keep the pressure on, the

:32:05. > :32:08.Singapore pair. You saw the technique for the return of service.

:32:09. > :32:16.The risk is extremely flexible to make the return. -- the wrist.

:32:17. > :32:22.And there we saw it again. That is an advantage, the flexibility near

:32:23. > :32:55.the net. And a brilliant rally. The English

:32:56. > :33:02.pair coming out on top. The composure the 15-year-old shows is

:33:03. > :33:07.incredible. She has impressed her team-mates, as well, since the

:33:08. > :33:19.nerves abate when she focuses on the match at how she will win the point.

:33:20. > :33:25.She is more excited and motivated by this than nervous. She said that

:33:26. > :33:32.yesterday, I am not nervous, I am excited. Liam Pitchford said it is

:33:33. > :33:53.remarkable how in this big theatres she has responded. Quite remarkable.

:33:54. > :33:56.That was a super shot from Feng. Devastating attack from the

:33:57. > :34:10.Singaporeans. Getting forward over the table.

:34:11. > :34:18.It is an outstanding return of service from Tin-Tin Ho. You have to

:34:19. > :34:25.take your hat off to that young lady.

:34:26. > :34:46.To gain points now for the Singaporeans.

:34:47. > :34:49.Once saved, but another opportunity for Singapore to take the opening

:34:50. > :34:57.game. What a point. Tin-Tin Ho Held her

:34:58. > :35:31.nerve. I am surprised that he served with

:35:32. > :35:41.the forehand. I am sure in singles he serves with the backhand. That is

:35:42. > :35:47.it. The opening game going to Liam Pitchford and Tin-Tin Ho. Super play

:35:48. > :36:39.for the team from England. What a start.

:36:40. > :36:46.The way the English pair are playing out here reflects the confidence in

:36:47. > :36:53.the English camp. I think they all have belief they can win these sorts

:36:54. > :37:00.of matches. They excel in the nuances of table tennis, such as the

:37:01. > :37:07.short received. The angles. -- receive. And mentally the feeling

:37:08. > :37:16.you belong out here against the Singaporean players, who are so much

:37:17. > :37:29.higher ranked. Sport is won and lost in the mind. Easier said than done,

:37:30. > :37:36.but once Feng Tianwei, she plays a forehand in the rally, she can be

:37:37. > :37:38.dynamic. Having said that, she puts it in the base of the net. Thank

:37:39. > :37:59.you! It always happens. Bearing in mind, it is a busy day

:38:00. > :38:05.for them. She is playing women's doubles, mixed doubles, women's

:38:06. > :38:12.singles. One match after another. It is not easy to keep focus. She

:38:13. > :38:14.played five matches yesterday. She said she was quite tired and she

:38:15. > :39:14.would recover for today. This is an interesting stage of the

:39:15. > :39:24.match. Getting towards the business end of this second game. And a

:39:25. > :39:25.couple of errors being forced. Good, aggressive play from the English

:39:26. > :39:49.pair. Feng Tianwei, very surprisingly.

:39:50. > :39:52.With so many Feng Tianwei, very surprisingly.

:39:53. > :39:53.With so matches in one day it could be that the concentration is not

:39:54. > :40:03.there. That was good play. And the luck favoured Liam

:40:04. > :41:39.Pitchford. Superstar from Liam Pitchford. --

:41:40. > :42:03.super stuff. Coming up with just what was required.

:42:04. > :42:30.There was a player from El Salvador who described mixed doubles as a

:42:31. > :42:36.marriage and the man has to take care of his wife! The potential for

:42:37. > :42:52.divorce on the mixed doubles! That was a great return. Superb from

:42:53. > :43:01.Liam Pitchford and the Singaporeans reacted. We have a married couple

:43:02. > :43:16.playing in the other semifinal, Paul Drinkhall and his wife Joanna.

:43:17. > :44:21.High-intensity exchange and the English pair coming out on top. Very

:44:22. > :44:23.rightly, the coach on his feet to call a time-out. You cannot leave it

:44:24. > :44:37.any longer. The Singaporeans have accelerated a

:44:38. > :45:02.little bit. That was a tremendous return of

:45:03. > :45:11.serve. Taking a leaf out of the book of Tin-Tin Ho.

:45:12. > :45:23.What a point. In rallies, I think you have to back the Singaporeans.

:45:24. > :45:25.The English pair must be looking to bring the point quickly.

:45:26. > :45:38.Singaporeans try to play the rallies.

:45:39. > :45:55.A good controlled topspin. Liam Pitchford did not panic. In

:45:56. > :46:29.Hesitation from the ten way. -- from Feng Tianwei.

:46:30. > :46:38.They've fought back to level at 9-9. Every time they step out on the

:46:39. > :46:43.cord, then expected to win. And they usually deliver. They've got their

:46:44. > :46:54.backs against the wall here. Three consecutive points going to

:46:55. > :47:39.Feng Tianwei. I think that was correct. I know

:47:40. > :47:44.he'd missed that I think he was correct. -- I know he missed but I

:47:45. > :48:14.think it was correct. Bit of extra pace on that shot from

:48:15. > :48:40.Zhan Jian. This time the top seeds take it. A

:48:41. > :48:48.torrid battle just sneaking out of that game, staying in the match.

:48:49. > :49:27.Tin-Tin Ho and Liam Pitchford still leading two games to one game.

:49:28. > :51:01.This Singapore contingent sitting somewhat nervously.

:51:02. > :51:11.We have seen less mistakes coming from the Singaporeans here than in

:51:12. > :51:46.the first, say, game and a half. Feng Tianwei looks more focused.

:51:47. > :51:47.is from the backhand and he has to be very strong on that first

:51:48. > :52:31.attack. Fortune favours the brave and he

:52:32. > :52:33.went after that backhand. You can't be passing out here. Super plate

:52:34. > :52:44.from Pitchford. Clever return from Zan GM. -- Zhan

:52:45. > :53:25.Jian. Feng Tianwei has certainly lifted

:53:26. > :53:35.her game. This is more like what we are accustomed to seeing from her.

:53:36. > :54:10.And Feng Tianwei and Zhan Jian are 11-6.

:54:11. > :54:29.Terrific return to start this decider. Tin-Tin Ho.

:54:30. > :54:44.And with plenty of spark out there. Pitchford and Ho.

:54:45. > :54:50.They know they have to play at the top of their games. Maybe better

:54:51. > :55:08.than they've ever played before, to beat this pair.

:55:09. > :55:15.Remember, England still have the one time had up their sleeve. --

:55:16. > :55:28.time-out. That is absolutely out the top of

:55:29. > :55:32.the top drawer. What a tremendous return. Look at the wrist. That is

:55:33. > :55:45.quality, Mr Pitchford. And they keep the momentum. 5-1 in

:55:46. > :55:55.the deciding game. 15-year-old Tin-Tin Ho, 21-year old

:55:56. > :56:13.Liam Pitchford. Remember, now, the order has now

:56:14. > :57:11.changed. Well, this is just marvellous play

:57:12. > :57:16.from the English pair. Taking control of the point. Finishing it

:57:17. > :57:24.off calmly. I wonder if they will be able to stay calm. One thing to get

:57:25. > :57:59.the lead in the decider, but another to close it out.

:58:00. > :58:07.Brilliant stuff from Pitchford! Stand and deliver. He got himself

:58:08. > :58:52.set and whipped the winner. I think Alan Cooke will soon be on

:58:53. > :58:57.his feet. Right now, in fact, calling the time-out. Quite right,

:58:58. > :59:02.don't let the Singaporean pet build up momentum. That is quite a good

:59:03. > :59:06.call in my opinion. He knows he is on the brink of his team causing the

:59:07. > :59:14.mother of all upsets. Now, the question is, can the Singaporeans

:59:15. > :59:16.bring mind, body and soul together and recover? Make no mistake, this

:59:17. > :59:35.match isn't over. Match point. Pitchford and Ho.

:59:36. > :00:15.They've got five of them. What the moment the despair! -- what

:00:16. > :00:20.the moment for this pair. A stunning moment and a massive upset. The

:00:21. > :00:26.15-year-old Tin-Tin Ho alongside Liam Pitchford, she bounces over for

:00:27. > :00:41.the celebratory hug with Alan Cooke. They played out of their skins.

:00:42. > :00:49.All-England final facing Paul Drinkhall and Joanna Drinkhall. The

:00:50. > :00:55.sport has been dominated by Singapore in Beeston Commonwealth

:00:56. > :01:03.Games. Now they are preparing for a dramatic evening of diving action.

:01:04. > :01:06.Over to Edinburgh. A third consecutive night of dramatic diving

:01:07. > :01:18.and tonight the finals of the women's one metre diving. Our

:01:19. > :01:20.commentators presenting by the swimming pool, Helen Skelton and

:01:21. > :01:31.Lyon. It has been an exciting day we have

:01:32. > :01:43.had a golden bronze medal. How impressed were you? There was a

:01:44. > :01:54.gold-medal third Jack Laugher and the Chris Mears.

:01:55. > :01:59.Nick Robinson Baker, opposite ends of experience. Jack and Chris seemed

:02:00. > :02:03.to be exciting prospects. They have had success this year. They have

:02:04. > :02:08.been standing on the podium all year this year and at great end to their

:02:09. > :02:14.season, a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games. There is

:02:15. > :02:19.cheering, not the Chris and Jack, they are cheering for the ladies in

:02:20. > :02:30.the one metre springboard final. We have everybody from team England.

:02:31. > :02:36.The only female diver for Scotland, her dad said he cannot wait to be

:02:37. > :02:43.out there. The crowd lifted her this morning. As did James Heatly. That

:02:44. > :02:48.was in the previous two days of the diving competition. Team Scotland

:02:49. > :02:54.are going for it. The roof is ripped off when they step on the diving

:02:55. > :02:58.board. Tom Daley is going to be diving later. I asked kids earlier

:02:59. > :03:04.if they were here to see Tom and they said no. They were here to see

:03:05. > :03:11.the Scottish divers. That is a picture. A gold-medal, what a

:03:12. > :03:19.classic. They did fantastically well. A gold medal in the bag and

:03:20. > :03:23.bound to be on cloud nine. Heather has been watching. Would she have

:03:24. > :03:29.gained confidence from the success of the rest of the team? There are

:03:30. > :03:34.so many medals already, you have to keep the motivation going. We are

:03:35. > :03:45.about to get under way for the one metre springboard. You are fine to

:03:46. > :03:53.go. Go and join Bob. The crowd are excited at this. That is because we

:03:54. > :03:59.have three English girls. And we have Scotland's Grace Reid, the only

:04:00. > :04:16.girl in team Scotland, but she has a fantastic Fanclub, Bob.

:04:17. > :04:23.We have a mixture of Commonwealth interest including the Australians

:04:24. > :04:28.and relations as well. There are two strong Australians. And one very

:04:29. > :04:32.strong Canadian. How many times this week have we seen the preliminary

:04:33. > :04:35.strong Canadian. How many times this heats not replicated in the

:04:36. > :04:44.evening? It happened last night with Jack Laugher. Could not quite back

:04:45. > :04:49.it up in the final, which can sometimes happen. A lot of dropped

:04:50. > :04:54.lives by the English contingent this morning and they will look to

:04:55. > :05:02.lives by the English contingent this improve on that. I am intrigued to

:05:03. > :05:09.see what can be done to night. She could not convince out of the park.

:05:10. > :05:16.It has been said there might be an Australian 1-2-3. The one to watch

:05:17. > :05:21.in number ten, is she is completely in a different league when it comes

:05:22. > :05:28.to degree of difficulty. We will talk it through as she gets closer.

:05:29. > :05:29.She is a cut above when it comes to the degree of difficulty. Let's see

:05:30. > :05:45.how the risk plays out. At the Australian trials she hit

:05:46. > :05:50.almost 350. We can see how it pans out there will be 12 divers. They go

:05:51. > :06:07.in reverse order from how they finish this morning. That was nice.

:06:08. > :06:11.A tidy opening dive. 1.5 somersaults in the pike position. Many of the

:06:12. > :06:18.girls opt for this in the first round. Nine out of the 12 opening

:06:19. > :06:30.with this. Turning backwards and spinning forwards. I think that is

:06:31. > :06:44.pretty good. The marks with line through them will not count to the

:06:45. > :06:56.total score. Alicia Black did not quite get off to the start she

:06:57. > :07:00.wanted. Exactly the same dive again. That was a good start. Moving away

:07:01. > :07:12.from the diving board a fraction. A beautiful shape. She will only get

:07:13. > :07:21.sevens, may be slightly less. Some work to do already. That is compared

:07:22. > :07:37.to 54 this morning and so slightly down on the start. Now the

:07:38. > :07:43.Australian. She is 15 years of age, the youngest member of the

:07:44. > :07:54.Australian team. 1.5 somersaults with pike. It was a beautiful dive.

:07:55. > :08:01.The ripped entry into the water. Hardly any splash. Great elevation.

:08:02. > :08:13.Tow point into the water and that should get eights or above. That was

:08:14. > :08:22.a great opening round. Eights very good in this situation. And now the

:08:23. > :08:35.Canadian. One of the judges is the mother of her best friend.

:08:36. > :08:41.Most of the competitors getting their programme under way with this

:08:42. > :08:49.dive. That was better than this morning. She looked rough around the

:08:50. > :08:52.edges this morning. Not quite entering the water as smoothly as

:08:53. > :09:03.she did here. Beautiful elevation will stop straight up and down. We

:09:04. > :09:04.can see how generous the judges are feeling. That is the same mark this

:09:05. > :09:19.morning. 54. Now you will see this every time.

:09:20. > :09:23.Big smile, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle. And then she

:09:24. > :09:35.puts on her game head and the smile disappears. Studied concentration.

:09:36. > :09:41.That is better than this morning. 2.2 degrees of difficulty. The girls

:09:42. > :09:47.have to do different dives each time and this is the twist, the first we

:09:48. > :09:57.have seen. 1.5 somersaults. She will try to get eight, which would be

:09:58. > :10:04.good. Not too shabby at all. Hello, Hannah Starling, welcome to the

:10:05. > :10:08.competition. And now the cheering. The raucous crowd in Edinburgh

:10:09. > :10:18.greeting their one and only daughter for this event. Grace Reid. You will

:10:19. > :10:23.know what to expect because you have seen it before. We will see

:10:24. > :10:28.somewhere in the mid-50s for her inward one and a half somersaults

:10:29. > :10:34.with pike. That was a fabulous start. This is her second

:10:35. > :10:50.Commonwealth Games. She was 14 when she attended Delhi. Able you to. And

:10:51. > :10:57.a safe distance from the board. -- a beautiful start. 54 is pretty much

:10:58. > :11:04.on the button. A decent start. beautiful start. 54 is pretty much

:11:05. > :11:16.on the button. Already with the medal to her name.

:11:17. > :11:27.2.4, in which 1.5 somersaults. That was nice from Rebecca with good

:11:28. > :11:32.balance. Rocking from the ankles to start to move the board. Swinging

:11:33. > :11:38.the arms, going forward, as if you are throwing a football. The entry

:11:39. > :11:39.was superb. It should get eights and if it does, she will go top of the

:11:40. > :12:21.leaderboard. I spoke to her coach at lunch time

:12:22. > :12:26.and asked about her. He said they had not been training it. This is

:12:27. > :12:31.the first time she has done one metres. She is the defending

:12:32. > :12:35.champion. She is exceptional on the three metres, which is where have

:12:36. > :12:45.focuses. The one metre is a bit of fun. She has matched Rebecca with

:12:46. > :12:47.her dive. Joint leaders at the moment as we head towards the end of

:12:48. > :13:15.the first round. I really like her style of diving.

:13:16. > :13:22.It is aesthetically pleasing. Beautiful minds. Heavily strapped

:13:23. > :13:38.ankle, which is not uncommon in diving. Your ankles get a pasting at

:13:39. > :13:43.all times. That was good. Very good. As good as the leaders. This is the

:13:44. > :13:50.goal to watch. Not with this dive, which is rudimentary compared to the

:13:51. > :13:51.one she is going to do. She is just going to turn up the switch after

:13:52. > :14:07.this. Go up to the threes shortly. You can see from take-off how much

:14:08. > :14:12.power this young 18-year-old house. Swinging her arms and jumping up.

:14:13. > :14:17.You can see how high she goes. A little bit of a splash as she goes

:14:18. > :14:22.in, say she has left herself work to do. That she has some chunky dives

:14:23. > :14:27.coming. Big degree of difficulty with a high risk and the high reward

:14:28. > :14:33.if you get them right. If she is to win the gold medal, she will have to

:14:34. > :14:48.come from last to first. She is last at the moment. Two more to go.

:14:49. > :14:56.She will go with the dive favoured by most of the divers, the inward

:14:57. > :15:01.1.5. Moving away from the diving board a little bit too much. Brings

:15:02. > :15:09.her hips back a little bit too early. Did not get as much height.

:15:10. > :15:15.She will get eights. That will put her near the top of the leaderboard.

:15:16. > :15:49.Some of the 2.4s scoring around this. Four divers altogether.

:15:50. > :15:56.with pike. She has just thrown up a little bit too much splash for me.

:15:57. > :16:02.Relatively straightforward dive. You don't have a hurdle

:16:03. > :16:07.Relatively straightforward dive. You with. Standing start, so one and a

:16:08. > :16:14.half in the pike position. Not quite at the top of the leaderboard, but

:16:15. > :16:18.pretty close. It is all rather bunched up after round one. Hard to

:16:19. > :16:27.separate this one out. We can't at the moment. Canadian, English diver,

:16:28. > :16:32.Malaysia, another Canadian in the top grouping. Then we have five and

:16:33. > :16:49.then we have four divers in sixth place. I did not expect Stalin,

:16:50. > :17:05.Blagg and Keeney to stay at the bottom for long. -- starling.

:17:06. > :17:11.Finishing a little close to the water. Not having enough room to

:17:12. > :17:26.complete the dive efficiently enough to get probably five or 5.5.

:17:27. > :17:46.It wasn't how we discussed it earlier on, Mr Coach, what it?

:17:47. > :17:54.The white wheel on the diving board is for adjusting the flexibility.

:17:55. > :17:58.That was the dive that she made a mess of earlier on in the

:17:59. > :18:06.preliminaries. She over rotated in the morning. That was an under

:18:07. > :18:15.rotation. She has played it safe and I think that was too much, the final

:18:16. > :18:21.push for the podium over for her. Yes. Not at all pleased with that,

:18:22. > :18:29.for understandable reasons. The rule of thumb is if you are under six,

:18:30. > :18:31.you are saying you are pushing for a medal and not doing the dive as well

:18:32. > :18:48.as you would like. She hand, 15 years of age last

:18:49. > :18:54.month. Going with a reverse one and a half somersault is. She doesn't

:18:55. > :18:59.land on the end of the diving board, so she has to skip forward a little

:19:00. > :19:06.bit with her knees and she arches quite heavily through her back to

:19:07. > :19:14.dive in. She managed to avert missing the dive. The scores with no

:19:15. > :19:22.lines through them at the bottom of the screen will count.

:19:23. > :19:25.And the freezing could have represented the USA as her mother is

:19:26. > :19:46.American. -- Friesen. While, that is a good dive as well.

:19:47. > :19:49.Very precise. Two and a half somersault in the pike position.

:19:50. > :19:55.Squeezing into the pike said the chest is flat on the thighs. She

:19:56. > :20:00.manages to punch a hole in the water with her hands as she goes through.

:20:01. > :20:06.Doesn't quite stretch out enough, so the marks reflect that. Seven is

:20:07. > :20:12.OK, certainly compared to a couple of guys we've seen recently. Emma

:20:13. > :20:28.Friesen just moves in front of the rest.

:20:29. > :20:36.Forward two and a half somersault with pike. She had a bit of work to

:20:37. > :20:46.do. A bit off the pace after her first round dive. Beautiful board

:20:47. > :20:57.timing. Just a bit of splash. Washing over vertical cutout. -- a

:20:58. > :21:04.little bit. 7.5 across the board. That brings a smile back to her

:21:05. > :21:24.face. Still a novice, don't really understand diving?

:21:25. > :21:34.That was the same dive produced by Scotland's Grace Reid. She landed

:21:35. > :21:39.with her toes just over the edge of the diving board. She waited

:21:40. > :21:44.patiently for the board to recoil and throw her up into the air.

:21:45. > :21:49.Controls that beautifully. She would have been in also of trouble on that

:21:50. > :22:16.take-off. Sevens it is the Grace Reid again.

:22:17. > :22:27.Back one and a half somersault with Tuck. She has just let the dive

:22:28. > :22:32.flick over as she enters the water. Same mistake she often produces on

:22:33. > :22:39.this dive, just tips over with her feet. She did a great job in the

:22:40. > :22:44.women's three metre synchro to win gold. That is going to be slightly

:22:45. > :23:06.costly. Sixes will move her off the pace.

:23:07. > :23:13.Back one and a half somersault is for the defending champion. I think

:23:14. > :23:21.she has something to say about that. That is much, much better. This is

:23:22. > :23:31.her lowest degree of difficulty. You see the height she gained from the

:23:32. > :23:38.diving board. Into the lead she goes. Just out of Hannah Starling

:23:39. > :23:43.with Emma Friesen and Grace Reid enjoying third right now. We have

:23:44. > :23:54.another four divers to go. Here is our current joint leader.

:23:55. > :24:02.The forward two and a half. Two and a half. 2.6 once again. She had a

:24:03. > :24:07.little bit of knee trouble there. She wasn't quite on the end of the

:24:08. > :24:11.diving board. She trembled. She managed to get the height she

:24:12. > :24:13.needed. That was nearly a full buckle, which would have been

:24:14. > :24:46.unfortunate. Her toes were over the edge. She was

:24:47. > :24:54.hanging ten. That Her toes were over the edge. She was

:24:55. > :25:00.difficult. The easier option is the reverse one and a half. This is

:25:01. > :25:05.3.0. She does so well on this. It's a gamble. It hasn't quite paid off

:25:06. > :25:13.fully but it hasn't taken it the other way, so she's still in the

:25:14. > :25:17.mix. 57 is good enough. We have a real bunch situation here at the

:25:18. > :25:20.moment. The top six are separated by eight points. There will be a few

:25:21. > :25:42.more joining that club very shortly. That's good from Palm. Over rotated

:25:43. > :25:49.as she went in. Looking for the vertical splash. There wasn't much

:25:50. > :25:57.splash, but there was a definite over rotation. Sevens, probably.

:25:58. > :25:59.Could have quite easily been eight and 8.5s because that was a great

:26:00. > :26:15.take-off. The 23-year-old formerly from China.

:26:16. > :26:22.She moved to Sydney in 2009 and has become asked radiant citizen.

:26:23. > :26:29.-- and has become an Australian citizen. She was the top qualifier

:26:30. > :26:40.this morning. She is very consistent.

:26:41. > :26:50.Beautiful dive, 2.6 degrees of difficulty. We did say it was a

:26:51. > :26:57.wide-open competition. Certainly not one you would want to lay any money

:26:58. > :27:08.on. That is the way it looks after round two. Three to go. Esther Qin

:27:09. > :27:16.just ahead. Hannah Starling looking OK. Maybe in a position to pounce.

:27:17. > :27:22.At the bottom of the pile at the moment are the two English divers

:27:23. > :27:28.gallantry and Blagg. That is a gap that they can make up. No one is

:27:29. > :27:54.really cast adrift yet. There is Alex Salmond in the audience.

:27:55. > :28:06.A back one and a half somersault with pike. 2.3. You can see the

:28:07. > :28:11.difference in the fight. -- in the height. Nowhere near some of her

:28:12. > :28:22.fellow competitors. Quite tidy. She was happy with the last dive,

:28:23. > :28:51.not quite so happy with that one. There you go, that is an example of

:28:52. > :28:54.what this young lady can do. She's only 17, she already has a

:28:55. > :29:01.Commonwealth gold medal in the bag from day one of the diving. This

:29:02. > :29:08.should get eights. It is best dive of the day. Time to start moving up

:29:09. > :29:15.the leaderboard. She was at the bottom, and she won't be after that.

:29:16. > :29:20.Only three divers are doing three and above, by the way. They are

:29:21. > :29:46.nearly all in the two range, 2-macro-low or 2-macro- made.

:29:47. > :29:50.is, one and half twists. A good job. Her steps a little inconsistent, so

:29:51. > :29:56.she isn't on the end of the diving board. Little bit of a wobble on the

:29:57. > :30:02.twist. Not sure she had squared it up efficiently enough. Her toes

:30:03. > :30:07.crossed over each other like a swimmer would with their hands in a

:30:08. > :30:10.streamlined position. The rookie doing OK in first place for the time

:30:11. > :30:41.being. faltering on the entry. -- for her.

:30:42. > :30:43.She remains in a pike position. Just a little too long. And over she

:30:44. > :30:58.goes. You can now mark off a few of the

:30:59. > :31:05.divers in terms of medal potential and prospects. I think she is one

:31:06. > :31:09.who will not be there at the end unless she can get something rapidly

:31:10. > :31:19.going on. Hannah Starling, she relishes this atmosphere. So she

:31:20. > :31:26.showed in London 2012, she is doing in Edinburgh.

:31:27. > :31:36.That was good. It needed to be. This is her lowest degree of difficulty.

:31:37. > :31:43.It depends where you use it in your list. I think she will get 7.5s,

:31:44. > :31:46.which would be great, because it would keep her at the business end

:31:47. > :31:54.of the field, which is where she needs to be to strike for a medal.

:31:55. > :32:04.You will know from the noise, she has gone up a notch or two. Grace

:32:05. > :32:19.Reid is about to perform her third-round dive. Currently fifth.

:32:20. > :32:24.Fabulous dive. This was not particularly good this morning. It

:32:25. > :32:32.is her most complicated, 2.6 degrees of difficulty. It was neat and tidy.

:32:33. > :32:39.If she gets over sevens, she will be super pleased. Great work. Somebody

:32:40. > :32:55.should take a snap of that. She is in the lead at the moment. Rebecca

:32:56. > :33:02.Gallantree. This is her big dive in terms of degree of difficulty. A

:33:03. > :33:07.reverse to do half somersault. If she gets this right, she will

:33:08. > :33:13.project herself up the leaderboard. It went wrong, take-off. The dive is

:33:14. > :33:20.complicated and high risk. You need a good take-off. Almost ten

:33:21. > :33:25.centimetres back, sacrificing height to get safely away from the diving

:33:26. > :33:35.board. She still did very well. That could have been a shorter vertical.

:33:36. > :33:42.Probably gets 5.5s. It was a jaunty angle on that. This is her trump

:33:43. > :33:50.card if she gets it right, but not on this occasion.

:33:51. > :34:01.Just almost, almost there. She was trying to pike saver. The entry is

:34:02. > :34:07.going a little bit over and she tries to roll, rolling very quickly

:34:08. > :34:13.to give the impression that she was not going over a vertical, but the

:34:14. > :34:18.judges noticed. That is why they marked her down. I did say it would

:34:19. > :34:26.be hard for her to defend her title, with the way others are

:34:27. > :34:32.looking today. But she has edged in front, only marginally so. This is

:34:33. > :34:49.another one who has chosen round three for her difficult dive. She

:34:50. > :34:53.faltered on the take-off on the last dive and this time she left it a

:34:54. > :35:05.little short on vertical. It looks OK. Not quite completing the dive.

:35:06. > :35:14.That is only 2.3 degrees of difficulty. Just a little pointer on

:35:15. > :35:19.this coming up from Maddison Keeney. This is the dive she fears most, the

:35:20. > :35:24.one she has most problems with. And this could possibly derail her

:35:25. > :35:30.chances of a gold medal. She had problems this morning. And also in

:35:31. > :35:31.competition over the past couple of years. Let's see how it goes this

:35:32. > :35:44.time. That is the gauntlet. If you have a

:35:45. > :35:51.bogey dive and you get it right, it is a boost. This is her highest

:35:52. > :35:55.degree of difficulty. 3.1. She was a little bit tight to the diving

:35:56. > :36:04.board, but she nailed it. This will prove to be critical. What a dive.

:36:05. > :36:12.On that tariff, it takes her rocketing up the standings into

:36:13. > :36:13.first place. The gauntlet is ready to be either snatched by somebody,

:36:14. > :36:29.or taken away. This is only 2.3 in terms of

:36:30. > :36:38.difficulty, so there will be a disparity. No. Feeling the pressure.

:36:39. > :36:44.Shaking her head as soon as she comes up. She knows potentially the

:36:45. > :37:01.medal chances blame. It was a costly error -- potentially, her medal

:37:02. > :37:09.chance is blown. Only picking up 29.9, the lowest return so far. The

:37:10. > :37:17.smiling assassin! Esther Qin, going, thank you very much. She is in a

:37:18. > :37:26.good position to launch herself forward. Number one at the moment.

:37:27. > :37:33.It is interesting what pressure does. It is good, but it is not

:37:34. > :37:38.particularly excellent, which is what it needed to be. Short

:37:39. > :37:45.vertical, not wanting to do what Pam Ware did, surfing over. She stopped

:37:46. > :37:54.the dive spinning too early and ended up short. We have a change of

:37:55. > :38:08.the leaderboard. The pack has been shuffled. Esther -- Esther Qin, she

:38:09. > :38:13.has dropped. Maddison Keeney, at the top. We told you to watch out for

:38:14. > :38:22.her. If we could freeze time, Grace Reid would have a bronze medal.

:38:23. > :38:24.Three Australians in the top six. There have been rumours it could be

:38:25. > :38:43.top three. Two more rounds to go of the one

:38:44. > :38:44.metre springboard. 12 points separating places one and five at

:38:45. > :38:55.the moment. She went for the reverse one and a

:38:56. > :39:00.half of the tuck position, the lowest degree of difficulty at 2.1.

:39:01. > :39:06.Because of the take-off with the toes over the end, she does not make

:39:07. > :39:11.it. Arching her back, moving to the side of the diving board. The judges

:39:12. > :39:18.do not see the replay, that is just for us. The judges are required to

:39:19. > :39:24.input the marks as soon as the diver hits the water.

:39:25. > :39:31.Alicia Blagg. Not making the headway we would like to see from her. That

:39:32. > :39:48.could change. That was another excellent dive.

:39:49. > :39:54.What a shame she has taken a couple of dives to get into it. The third

:39:55. > :40:01.and fourth have been up there in the eights. That is very good diving.

:40:02. > :40:13.Has she left herself too much to do? I think maybe. That look means,

:40:14. > :40:19.why did I not do that before? Suddenly I am diving well. She left

:40:20. > :40:24.it a little bit too late to challenge for medals. That is not

:40:25. > :40:27.this young lady, the youngest competitor at the age of 15, she has

:40:28. > :40:39.just turned 15. She has a particular skill for being

:40:40. > :40:46.able to complete the dive is very well from dodgy take-offs. Way back

:40:47. > :40:50.from the end of the diving board and manages to stay calm and complete

:40:51. > :40:53.the dive very well. It will not score eights, which is what she

:40:54. > :40:58.would have been looking forward to make a move on the top six, where

:40:59. > :41:07.she is on the previous round, into the lead. Emma Friesen has a motto -

:41:08. > :41:12.there is always pressure, you have to be ready to open up to it and

:41:13. > :41:24.deal with it, you have to be a good loser. Ninth place at the moment.

:41:25. > :41:31.That was pretty average. It is ordinary. It needs to be more than

:41:32. > :41:38.that if you want to push for the medals. She has been consistent.

:41:39. > :41:47.Over rotated so I think she will get 6.5s. Maybe a seven. She got great

:41:48. > :41:51.height from the diving board. Does not break the 50 mark this time,

:41:52. > :41:54.which means she will not advance much, she might even slip back a

:41:55. > :42:17.place. A smile already on the face. Hannah Starling, in fifth place, so

:42:18. > :42:21.within distance of the top three. It was a terrific take-off. Just a

:42:22. > :42:30.fraction over rotated as she went in. That was almost 8.5s and nines,

:42:31. > :42:38.but will end up with 7.5s, which is still good and she will be in

:42:39. > :42:42.contention. It will be tight. Amazing what a little bit can make

:42:43. > :42:53.in terms of points. We could have been looking at eights. Those marks

:42:54. > :42:58.add up when you are talking about five points between first and second

:42:59. > :43:09.at the moment. Grace Reid, ready to perform. She has been eating and

:43:10. > :43:16.drinking of the atmosphere in the Edinburgh swimming pool. She

:43:17. > :43:27.continues to do so. She put everything in. Giving it some beans

:43:28. > :43:32.continues to do so. She put it. Almost identical to Hannah

:43:33. > :43:39.Starling, who did the same dive before her. She is flying high on

:43:40. > :43:47.home support. The crowd loves it and she loves it. She could be in and

:43:48. > :43:55.around the medals with that. Taking the lead for the time being. Rebecca

:43:56. > :44:03.Gallantree's 3.0 did not quite work. She has ground to make up.

:44:04. > :44:15.That will help. 2.6 degrees of difficulty. This is her chance to

:44:16. > :44:18.make up some ground. If it is short, she enters the water, needs

:44:19. > :44:29.to maintain the pike shape a fraction longer.

:44:30. > :44:37.Rebecca Gallantree already has the medals from the synchronised on the

:44:38. > :44:45.three meter board. She won in Delhi, can she win it in Edinburgh? She is

:44:46. > :44:50.such a competitor. She was all over the place this morning in the

:44:51. > :44:55.preliminaries. Even then, not quite landing on the end as she would need

:44:56. > :45:01.to. But she goes so high. She does not want to relinquish her title.

:45:02. > :45:05.The gold medal in Delhi and very much in the hunt for a podium finish

:45:06. > :45:09.here. Will it be the gold? We will wait and see. Willing and able to

:45:10. > :45:22.win for a second time around. Cheong Jun Hoong, she has looked

:45:23. > :45:33.impressive this week but not as impressive tonight. It was a

:45:34. > :45:38.beautiful dive. It was a great leg line and toe point. Just washing

:45:39. > :45:42.over as she entered the water. I think she might have left herself

:45:43. > :46:10.too much to do to challenge for the medals with one dive to go.

:46:11. > :46:17.She quit the 10m board after fracturing her wrist and she is a

:46:18. > :46:25.promising astrophysicist. That is a restart. What happens now? She will

:46:26. > :46:27.attempt the board again and there will be a 2-point deduction from

:46:28. > :46:44.each judge. Oh, she has done a marvellous job,

:46:45. > :46:49.because that take-off was not particularly great either. She had

:46:50. > :46:52.all her toes over the edge. Somehow, she manages to complete that dive.

:46:53. > :46:57.all her toes over the edge. Somehow, There will be a 2-point deduction,

:46:58. > :46:58.so when all the marks come up I will explain what happens. She might even

:46:59. > :47:13.get sevens. A sterling effort. explain what happens. She might even

:47:14. > :47:46.except. So the total is 42. -- etc, etc. Weldon.

:47:47. > :47:53.She nailed this this morning and she has pretty much done the same again.

:47:54. > :47:56.Just as she needed it. She was right at the bottom of the pack after a

:47:57. > :48:02.disastrous previous round dive. That will have a lot. She will move up to

:48:03. > :48:05.the middle of the pack but I think she may have left herself a little

:48:06. > :48:14.bit too much to do for a medal, but you -- but who knows? It was worth

:48:15. > :48:41.taking the risk. That's very good. Very good. Very

:48:42. > :48:50.neat, very tidy. Beautiful take-off. Up, up and away. Reaches for the

:48:51. > :48:54.water with her hands flat. She should get close to 60 points. If

:48:55. > :48:59.she does, she will be squeezing up into the top six. 61.20, Esther Qin

:49:00. > :49:14.for Australia. Now look at the scoreboard. Jennifer

:49:15. > :49:22.Abel, defending champion, in the lead. Grace Reid of Scotland in

:49:23. > :49:27.second. Then three Australians. But word of caution from Leon Taylor. We

:49:28. > :49:32.can get excited because Grace is in second position, however, she has a

:49:33. > :49:38.2.3 degrees of difficulty dive to finish. Everyone else has a mixed

:49:39. > :50:05.bag of 2.6, 2.5, 3.0. So it is tough.

:50:06. > :50:15.Better than this morning. I remember it was a real shambles this morning.

:50:16. > :50:32.That is upgraded. Swinging the arms, one and a half twists. Just to load

:50:33. > :50:36.to the water. It is a 2.5. -- 205. 205.75 is where she will finish,

:50:37. > :50:53.likely to be in a leather 12th place on the basis of that dive.

:50:54. > :51:08.Reverse one and a half somersault with one. A great dive. She's just

:51:09. > :51:14.so good at waiting, waiting. Maybe even close to 60 points, with degree

:51:15. > :51:22.of difficulty 2.6. Great dive to finish. She faltered early on in her

:51:23. > :51:26.programme. Well done. 58.5. But sad to say, she is in danger of possibly

:51:27. > :51:55.finishing bottom of the pile with that.

:51:56. > :52:04.Wow! It needed to be exceptional, and it was spectacular. What an

:52:05. > :52:08.absolute beauty. She'll get nines on this, and therefore, even though

:52:09. > :52:12.it's 2.4 degrees of difficulty, if she gets close to 60 points, this

:52:13. > :52:20.15-year-old from Australia could be on the podium. 8.5, 8.5 and eight. I

:52:21. > :52:26.think she already knows something special is about to happen to her.

:52:27. > :52:29.Providing nobody else really does something exceptional. It would have

:52:30. > :52:34.to be a lot of them to do it to unseat her from third place. It is

:52:35. > :53:01.possible she could get second place. Tidy dive from Emma. One and a half

:53:02. > :53:13.sub is all. One and a half twists. Then into a pike. About the same

:53:14. > :53:14.total school as she did get in the preliminary say she has been

:53:15. > :53:30.consistent all day. Right, Hannah Starling to usurp

:53:31. > :53:45.Georges Sheehan. She needs nines on this.

:53:46. > :53:56.Inward one and a half somersault is with pike. 2.5. It was a good

:53:57. > :54:00.effort, not good enough for nines. She over rotates, just shift her

:54:01. > :54:03.heels and moves her bottom back a little bit, moving back from the

:54:04. > :54:08.diving board, causing the overall rotation. I do not think that will

:54:09. > :54:19.be good enough for a medal. She will be close. Starling's day is done.

:54:20. > :54:21.Just talking to the coach about what went wrong, but nonetheless, still

:54:22. > :54:53.pleased with her performance. Oh, she has done a really good job.

:54:54. > :54:58.That will not get 8.5s. It is a good dive. She backed away from the

:54:59. > :55:04.diving board a little bit. She will probably only get sevens because she

:55:05. > :55:09.just bent her knees a little bit too early as she went into the water.

:55:10. > :55:13.She will be close to the medals. I do not know if it will be good

:55:14. > :55:21.enough. I am so proud of her. She will have a waiting game now. She

:55:22. > :55:23.could have done with five or ten more marks but you cannot be

:55:24. > :55:45.critical of that performance. Solid dive to finish from Rebecca.

:55:46. > :55:50.She has been there or thereabouts today. She will probably finish

:55:51. > :55:54.middle of the pack. One and a half twists, one and a half somersault.

:55:55. > :56:09.2.6 degrees of difficulty. Grace Reid at the moment in second

:56:10. > :56:10.place, Starling in third, Rebecca Gallantree with those marks knees

:56:11. > :56:34.into fourth. straight into the lead. Still some

:56:35. > :56:37.divers to go but at the moment, the defending champion will top the

:56:38. > :56:44.leaderboard. One and a half somersault is, one and a half

:56:45. > :56:48.twists. Good dive. 7.5s coming her way. She has at her game

:56:49. > :56:52.considerably this evening. Could it be back-to-back titles? It is

:56:53. > :57:03.difficult to see anyone overtaking her. Mathematically possible but the

:57:04. > :57:22.likes of Esther Qin and Keeney will have to dive out of their socks.

:57:23. > :57:30.A classic, classy take-off. Just varying her head a little bit as she

:57:31. > :57:39.goes into the reply, and then flips over as she goes in, over rotation.

:57:40. > :57:45.Her medal hopes slipped away earlier in the programme.

:57:46. > :57:51.Now, is there one last twist? Well, there will be a twist. A couple of

:57:52. > :58:15.somersault as well. Oh, my goodness me! The dive of the

:58:16. > :58:21.competition, just when she needed it the most! And that means that she

:58:22. > :58:25.will be on the podium. This is a big dive! That's not good enough to

:58:26. > :58:29.catch Abel, it might be good enough to put her into silver medal

:58:30. > :58:39.position, because this is huge. 3.2 degrees of difficulty. Yes, she's in

:58:40. > :58:44.second. 67.20. I did say it was a big one. She flung her previous big

:58:45. > :59:05.dive that got herself back in check. -- she failed her previous big dive.

:59:06. > :59:12.Not going to get there with that. She just falters on the take-off,

:59:13. > :59:18.skipping off the diving board a little bit too soon. Hips go

:59:19. > :59:22.forward, knees bent, doesn't get enough height. Find it very tricky

:59:23. > :59:27.to square out the dive, so she will not be in the medals. I think that

:59:28. > :59:31.is good enough to take out Grace, who is unfortunately in fourth place

:59:32. > :59:37.at the moment. Webb will be disappointed because she made too

:59:38. > :59:41.many mistakes. -- Ware. Only one diver events Abel from defending her

:59:42. > :00:04.title, this Australian. It is a beautiful dive! Absolute

:00:05. > :00:09.beauty. It is not worth nines. It is not worth 8.5. Is it worth eights?

:00:10. > :00:19.That is what she needs to get on the podium. This is going to be

:00:20. > :00:28.super-tight. Oh, she does! She has won it by 0.5, the bronze medal.

:00:29. > :00:34.Georgia she hang Mrs out by 0.05 of the mark. -- Georgette she hang Mrs

:00:35. > :01:13.out. home competitors, seventh,

:01:14. > :01:28.Starling, and Blagg in 10th. There is Arturo, her coach, we were

:01:29. > :01:45.speaking to him earlier. So, Canada take the gold.

:01:46. > :01:53.Congratulations to Canada. Commiserations to Grace Reid of

:01:54. > :02:05.Scotland. The crowd were on the edge of their seats. Lapping up every

:02:06. > :02:14.moment. No medals for Scotland or England. Now we turn our attention

:02:15. > :02:20.to a certain Mr Tom Daley. He is defending his title in about 20

:02:21. > :02:26.minutes time. He will be diving with a new partner. Stay with us to see

:02:27. > :02:33.how it goes. I suspect it will be pretty loud again.

:02:34. > :02:40.And you can see that live on Sunday on BBC One. Talk about perfect

:02:41. > :02:51.symmetry. It is beautiful here on day nine. We are ending it here on

:02:52. > :02:59.the jetty. Dan is here. Just when we thought the weather was turning. But

:03:00. > :03:05.look at this, it is excellent. Have a little look down there. The

:03:06. > :03:11.boys are ready. The Fire and Rescue Service. We have boxing to fit into

:03:12. > :03:18.night, but we cannot disappoint all the dinghy fines! First, the

:03:19. > :03:22.We've got factory boys and butchers' apprentices and office clerks

:03:23. > :03:28.Don't stop moving! If you go back you'll die!
