He has played to cover and they are pleased with that. Yes, it has come

:00:36.:00:45.

through in a good place. It whips across. I just wonder with the last

:00:46.:00:54.

ball that John McGuinness went with, the two balls if struck properly

:00:55.:00:58.

might split the other two as well. But one might stay. That is the

:00:59.:01:03.

thing. You have to see if they will absorb the drive.

:01:04.:01:29.

I am just wondering whether Scotland will be tempted to try and draw

:01:30.:01:37.

another. Just draw one in round? Almost eight o'clock position? 18

:01:38.:01:42.

inches past or something. I think what they don't want to do, and I

:01:43.:01:52.

can understand it, is get too close and present a target alongside the

:01:53.:01:56.

jack, which would make it an easier shot for England and make Jamie's

:01:57.:02:04.

mind up. The problem for Jamie, he hasn't got the spot position at the

:02:05.:02:09.

moment either so if the jack goes dead, he would be worse off and it

:02:10.:02:12.

would be more difficult to get the shot back.

:02:13.:02:37.

Well, he opened it up slightly. I think that is worse. You think so? I

:02:38.:03:04.

wondered if you think so? I wondered if he and push it. -- I wondered if

:03:05.:03:19.

he would try and push it. That is the problem. If you get out too

:03:20.:03:23.

wide, a lot of balls are going under. They will be aware of that.

:03:24.:03:31.

Now the jack is of course, it makes it a bit harder. Normally if you are

:03:32.:03:38.

confident, you would think that is great and people watching might

:03:39.:03:41.

wonder what we are on about. It looks obvious to come down there and

:03:42.:03:46.

we have watched it all week, but that is not easy. There is a lying

:03:47.:03:50.

there, but anybody will tell you it is much harder when you are three

:03:51.:04:01.

down on the scorecard as well. -- line there. In many ways he does not

:04:02.:04:11.

want to force Jamie into playing a drive. He would prefer him to play a

:04:12.:04:15.

draw because it would be a more difficult chart. Such are the

:04:16.:04:20.

thought processes at the very highest level.

:04:21.:04:27.

To get to this level, these guys have got all the shots in the

:04:28.:04:36.

locker, no doubt. So if you have the opportunity to take something, do it

:04:37.:04:45.

before your opponent does. A little kick, coming back late. That is as

:04:46.:04:51.

good as he could have. He has not left a target. Better than jack

:04:52.:04:54.

high. If Jamie does play weight, anything

:04:55.:05:12.

half is not good. Difficult position for him. He will be thinking that

:05:13.:05:21.

all too often he is going to the mat thinking this is really tough. He is

:05:22.:05:32.

playing the drive. Just got the front one. Half ball. Yes, off it

:05:33.:05:38.

went. Alex will be quite happy with that.

:05:39.:05:45.

On target. Could not have played it much better but a bit unlucky.

:05:46.:06:30.

When you are the opponents, you just have to stand back and theorise what

:06:31.:06:35.

they might do but you are already thinking ahead. And as the skipper

:06:36.:06:42.

you are thinking about what you have got to do as well.

:06:43.:06:53.

He has swapped sides onto the backhand. He didn't want to improve

:06:54.:07:06.

the position and he has gone for the deepest back. A bit undecided.

:07:07.:07:14.

Didn't want to pack the head. Probably agree with him on that.

:07:15.:07:23.

Didn't want to leave a catch. Jamie Chestney has just played weight. If

:07:24.:07:26.

he is looking for the draw, it is hard to go back. Just might play the

:07:27.:07:33.

percentage, rolling weight, to use the side balls and get back into the

:07:34.:07:38.

shot ball. Playing driving weight again. Well off target. Might be

:07:39.:07:49.

second shot there. It is, a single shot. He got out of it well in the

:07:50.:07:57.

end. Sometimes you have got to hit and hope and hope that the gods are

:07:58.:08:03.

smiling down on you. They are getting fortunate here. Doing enough

:08:04.:08:07.

to stun the black ball across. Scotland have a four shot advantage.

:08:08.:08:30.

Scotland again have gone further short.

:08:31.:08:45.

Just checking for a second to make sure. If it's been a good position.

:08:46.:09:04.

-- in its minimum position. That is a great ball. Yes, just

:09:05.:09:57.

tidying things up with good bowls and good positions. One down and

:09:58.:10:02.

recovering. Tidying things up nicely.

:10:03.:10:08.

John McGuinness was expecting to draw but he has been told by his

:10:09.:10:47.

skipper to be up. No second invitation needed. Oh. Just went by.

:10:48.:10:58.

You could see why Jamie Chestney asked for that, to split the two

:10:59.:10:59.

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

:11:00.:11:10.

played, not a great position. Starting to change things a bit. He

:11:11.:11:15.

needs to move bowls and can't allow anything to build up. The danger is

:11:16.:11:22.

when you start chasing a game, you will get punished at this level.

:11:23.:11:58.

Stuart Airey was trying to open it up for England and took out the back

:11:59.:12:57.

ball. Andrew Knapper suffering some

:12:58.:14:00.

encouragement from Stuart Airey, a man born in Sunderland.

:14:01.:14:33.

Fairly well mixed up at the back. Yes. He still played the running

:14:34.:14:44.

ball. I don't think Scotland will mind that, really. The position at

:14:45.:14:55.

the back. Big trouble here for Alex if he comes down and plays another

:14:56.:14:59.

perfect bowl. We'll be hoping for a bit of room. That is pretty good, he

:15:00.:17:12.

England have scored in just two of the ten ends. It has been that kind

:17:13.:19:47.

of day so far. the ten ends. It has been that kind

:19:48.:19:52.

Another good opener from both players. England bowled just behind

:19:53.:20:08.

the jack. He's played this perfect. He is on his game. It has

:20:09.:20:11.

the jack. He's played this perfect. if UN is but he has been rolling

:20:12.:20:25.

along. -- a few ends. Good bowling by Andrew Knapper. Four good bowls

:20:26.:20:28.

from good players. He Neil Speirs trying as well. This is

:20:29.:20:47.

unbelievable from Scotland, absolutely unbelievable. Every time

:20:48.:20:54.

England play a good bowl, Scotland simply play a better one. This is

:20:55.:21:00.

tough to play against, it really is tough. They have not played badly

:21:01.:21:09.

but this Scottish four is a mean machine. Good effort by John

:21:10.:21:20.

McGuinness, really well played. Great end of bowls.

:21:21.:22:15.

these guys play good bowl after good bowl, and so it goes. It is just

:22:16.:22:21.

wearing the opposition down. England have not played badly. But still

:22:22.:22:26.

worn down. Paul Foster was part of the Scottish

:22:27.:22:46.

pairs winning duo with Alex Marshall.

:22:47.:22:55.

Could not have placed that any better, dead centre. Causing

:22:56.:23:07.

problems. Lots of them for England at the moment. Really good bowl.

:23:08.:23:19.

Centre of the ring. Leaves no target.

:23:20.:23:26.

Like a juggernaut coming towards you. It is just going to run over

:23:27.:23:33.

you. Scotland's biggest problem might be handshake fatigue!

:23:34.:23:57.

That is not a bad attempt by Stewart and it is not easy.

:23:58.:24:08.

Starting to come in, drifting away. They know that Jamie Chestney is

:24:09.:24:20.

going to have to attack this at some point.

:24:21.:24:35.

Just dropping underneath. That is only where Scotland have had some

:24:36.:25:37.

position, to the right of the jack. I think they want a cover ball

:25:38.:25:47.

somewhere on that side of the hand. -- head. That is where it wants to

:25:48.:25:51.

go. They have already covered the back. You're simply trying to take

:25:52.:26:02.

shots away from your opponent. England could take three and maybe

:26:03.:26:05.

four and Scotland can take that away from them. One ball target. Yes, it

:26:06.:26:14.

is when you start looking to be creative. A bit deep but not too

:26:15.:26:28.

bad. Deeper than they wanted. Diane can afford to smile!

:26:29.:26:38.

Unless Jamie Chestney can do something,

:26:39.:26:41.

Unless Jamie Chestney can England will not settle for silver. Tried to

:26:42.:26:53.

play that with nice weight. Scotland have to try and be in there.

:26:54.:27:33.

think your opponent is going to play. His Royal Highness, Prince

:27:34.:28:00.

Edward. He has decided to get to the VIP seats rather than join us here.

:28:01.:28:13.

He was to get me a season ticket the Swansea. You cannot blame them.

:28:14.:28:30.

Following its down. This wants to be the other side. That is brilliant.

:28:31.:28:48.

Glove just played it perfect. He has been doing a lot of that lately. You

:28:49.:28:55.

can have the best script writers in the world and you are not played

:28:56.:29:06.

better bowl that. Brilliant. Bowls on request. Has got to hear this. It

:29:07.:29:15.

is tailing away. You can see the frustration and spreading in the

:29:16.:29:22.

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

:29:23.:29:29.

battle for gold. -- Scotland take a three. It is not over yet. But the

:29:30.:29:54.

end may not be far away. At the moment I would call this a textbook

:29:55.:30:03.

performance from Scotland. It has been absolutely clinical. They

:30:04.:30:08.

dropped a four at one point but other than that it has been

:30:09.:30:09.

something else. Two good bowls again. Peacock has

:30:10.:30:43.

come into a real game. He is enjoying this. Up against Andrew

:30:44.:31:15.

Knapper. Another good bowl again. Andy Knapper was Berkshire sports

:31:16.:31:25.

Knapper. Another good bowl again. Helicopter overhead. England are

:31:26.:31:42.

hoping it is the A-Team coming to the rescue. Identifying the greens

:31:43.:31:53.

keeper would like that. That is better from John McGuinness but

:31:54.:32:01.

looking a little lonely. They need to get another one in because it is

:32:02.:32:11.

building. Good attempts by John. Bit unlucky with that. Very unlikely.

:32:12.:32:24.

Forced into playing it, in fairness. It is a good bowl. Unlucky. It was

:32:25.:32:35.

unlucky. England need to find a way to start winning heads but it is

:32:36.:32:44.

virtually impossible at the moment. 's textbook stuff from Scotland.

:32:45.:33:43.

got the jack back. That has taken two out of that. Andy Knapper has

:33:44.:33:57.

won back there. -- he has one. Played it well. Can still find time

:33:58.:34:16.

to smile. They have played a decent game. Sometimes you go into a match

:34:17.:34:20.

thinking you have not played well. But they are being outplayed,

:34:21.:34:27.

although they are not playing badly. Sometimes you have to play your

:34:28.:34:29.

position but the opposition have not allow them today. He had his bowls

:34:30.:34:36.

stolen before the Commonwealth Games. They were recovered. That is

:34:37.:34:43.

not one of them, his bowls are currently in police lock-up as

:34:44.:34:48.

evidence. Alex Marshall had to get a new set. Almost identical. He

:34:49.:34:54.

practised and he practised, he needed to run the men. He suggested

:34:55.:35:03.

they would need his arm as well if he wanted -- if they wanted him to

:35:04.:35:07.

stop bowling well. A little on the high line. Just a

:35:08.:36:17.

little bit over the weight. In off the backhand. Down the inside. Just

:36:18.:36:28.

got the touch he didn't want. England lying two. England badly

:36:29.:36:40.

needs take this end. Alex was not far away then. Dropping short. He

:36:41.:37:03.

has been under a fair bit of pressure. Struggling with his weight

:37:04.:37:34.

now. Just missed in the first time. Hard Shard. Needed a bit of weight

:37:35.:37:45.

to get under that. No respite for England here. Ideally if they can

:37:46.:38:00.

add a third this would be good. Scotland have no right of reply,

:38:01.:38:03.

what can Jamie Chestney do? Just got caught on his own. Two shots to

:38:04.:38:20.

England. Giving themselves a chance. Three ends to play. They have

:38:21.:38:29.

trailed the just one end in the match, Scotland. That is going long.

:38:30.:38:55.

Needed to make sure it was full-length. Brought the maths up a

:38:56.:39:03.

couple of metres. You feel if England are going to take the three

:39:04.:39:08.

or four they need a longer Jack. Sure Jack is wary difficult to get

:39:09.:39:12.

control because Scotland play well to that length. It did not go into

:39:13.:39:37.

the ditch by much. It is not a bad opener. Still plenty of room. A good

:39:38.:40:30.

reply. David Peacock was the first bowler to win three consecutive gold

:40:31.:40:34.

medals at outdoor World Championships and bringing all his

:40:35.:40:51.

experience to bear here. That is a good shot. Good positive draw.

:40:52.:41:38.

Decent bowl. Just was not running out. Stuart Airey just getting rid

:41:39.:43:15.

of the blue bowl. APPLAUSE Just looking to drift it in there.

:43:16.:43:24.

Just getting to the stage with three ends to play, just to give

:43:25.:43:30.

themselves a chance they need something. That is no worse, good

:43:31.:43:55.

bowl TU 's. Ideally Stewart needs another one in their in front of the

:43:56.:44:38.

blues. Just resting on in there. You can see by the feet going in there

:44:39.:44:42.

and there is a few chances off those bowls. Coming off the shoulder.

:44:43.:45:01.

Giving it a chance, all about the connection. That is the shot.

:45:02.:45:19.

APPLAUSE Just build this up. Two chances,

:45:20.:45:26.

inside edge or outside edge. Could not really go wrong, he played it

:45:27.:45:33.

well with good weight. Jamie Chestney, he has given that chance.

:45:34.:45:51.

Just running through. If we were experts in body language we might

:45:52.:45:57.

make a fortune in other fields. As an amateur psychologist there is a

:45:58.:46:01.

real bounce about Scotland and the moment. You can just tell England

:46:02.:46:11.

are a bit deflated. How do you get out of this. They had been

:46:12.:46:19.

smothered, really. Fantastic stuff from Scotland, they have done

:46:20.:46:28.

everything right. For his first Commonwealth Games he has got the

:46:29.:46:32.

silver medal at worst and a bronze medal as well, all of the English

:46:33.:46:35.

bowlers have got a medal so in those terms it has been successful for

:46:36.:46:46.

England and Kelvingrove. -- at. Marshall on his backhand, using the

:46:47.:46:54.

area. If he runs past the short one he is close. That does not help.

:46:55.:47:13.

Easing towards goal, his charges. There is nothing obvious for

:47:14.:47:17.

England. Then they start to be creative and it starts getting into

:47:18.:47:24.

the worlds of ifs and buts. You conceive a gap where his foot is.

:47:25.:47:30.

That is the only way he is going to get it, that is the only shot on. He

:47:31.:47:32.

is looking down that gap. Way too much in front. That had to

:47:33.:48:07.

be absolutely spot on. Free draw here for a third. In the area but

:48:08.:48:14.

never going to get it at that angle. Needed to be wiser to get into it.

:48:15.:48:24.

-- wider. If he makes this, it is a bonus.

:48:25.:48:39.

Good weight, good drop in, good try. Didn't want to be too close. No

:48:40.:48:49.

point in spoiling things. Scotland are on the home straight.

:48:50.:49:03.

England haven't been able to score at consecutive ends and that is why

:49:04.:49:08.

Scotland are leading 16-7. We promised to touch on the fact

:49:09.:49:26.

that they are not playing the same colour of bowls on each team.

:49:27.:49:31.

Certainly the talk is that after the next Commonwealth Games, the top

:49:32.:49:35.

nations would be allocated a colour, and then you have to play with that,

:49:36.:49:39.

which would make it easier for television viewers and those

:49:40.:49:45.

watching at the Games as well. It is a bit confusing sometimes when they

:49:46.:49:51.

are playing with the same colours. Yes, it has been a good championship

:49:52.:49:54.

but there are always things we can improve on. The Scotland four would

:49:55.:50:01.

be hard pressed to improve on their performance today. Scotland had high

:50:02.:50:15.

hopes of gold at the bowls. This complex has been upgraded over a two

:50:16.:50:20.

year period, the five green upgrade at Kelvingrove. Golfer Scotland in

:50:21.:50:28.

the men's pairs and it looks likely in the fours. -- gold for Scotland.

:50:29.:50:43.

They have done the hard yards it is just claiming the prize now.

:50:44.:50:55.

If they are to have any chance at all, England need three. They had to

:50:56.:51:21.

win the 12th end. If they had won that, they would have had a chance.

:51:22.:51:27.

They could The way this end is building, it

:51:28.:51:42.

doesn't look like there will be much chance of getting more than one out

:51:43.:51:47.

of this, two at best. But that is what Scotland have been good at.

:51:48.:51:56.

Jamie Chestney, to be fair to him, played some good shots that he

:51:57.:52:00.

missed, but he is trying to force degree difficulty shots. -- the

:52:01.:52:12.

fourth degree difficulty. It will be frustrating because he has not had

:52:13.:52:17.

much chance to show what he is capable of. What happens is you get

:52:18.:52:21.

put under so much pressure at the end and you start missing the easier

:52:22.:52:31.

bowls. It is difficult. Second best and Scotland on form. No shame in

:52:32.:52:32.

that. Stuart Airey has put two good bowls

:52:33.:52:44.

in here. Give them a chance. 42-year-old playing off the

:52:45.:53:07.

backhand. A couple of They are not worried about the shot

:53:08.:53:52.

bowl, Scotland, just looking to pass.

:53:53.:54:04.

Quite happy to leave the jack open and leave England to draw the shot.

:54:05.:54:35.

In the semifinal against Australia, they lost the first end, and went

:54:36.:55:04.

five down and since then they have never been behind.

:55:05.:55:16.

Alex Marshall, second shot. Yes, good again. Trying to make it

:55:17.:55:29.

difficult for Jamie to get any more than the one.

:55:30.:55:42.

Going to try and lift the jack with this. He has got it wrong! He has

:55:43.:55:53.

got it wrong and there goes the game, I think. Nothing there for

:55:54.:55:55.

them now. They will take everything here but I

:55:56.:56:21.

can't see England getting anything out of this. The last thing England

:56:22.:56:29.

needed was for the jack to be moved a couple of times. He was looking

:56:30.:56:35.

for the jack but on the other side of the ring, he was looking to give

:56:36.:56:44.

himself a chance. It has been a final of contrasting emotions

:56:45.:56:46.

between the men from Scotland and England.

:56:47.:56:54.

Celebrations for the men in the blue and more difficult for those in red.

:56:55.:57:05.

Joy and despair summed up, perfectly matched. The Lionel Messi of bowls,

:57:06.:57:18.

have true. -- how true. The only difference is that Lionel Messi

:57:19.:57:23.

might make $65 million per year more than Alex Marshall!

:57:24.:57:31.

That wasn't part of the plan. Alex Marshall has a better singing voice

:57:32.:57:46.

than Lionel Messi! How you heard Lionel Messi singing will be a tale

:57:47.:57:56.

for another day. I have got that wrong. I must mean Lionel Richie!

:57:57.:58:04.

Jamie has had a good look at this. He can't draw the shot. It is all

:58:05.:58:49.

over. Gold the Scotland! -- gold for Scotland! What a performance from

:58:50.:58:55.

David Peacock, Neil Speirs, Paul Foster and Alex Marshall. They

:58:56.:58:59.

controlled the game almost from start to finish. They dropped four

:59:00.:59:07.

on the fourth end. It is the Scotland bounds in Glasgow. That is

:59:08.:59:19.

what gold means to Scotland. Great scenes here, the crowd on their

:59:20.:59:27.

feet. Wonderful support. David well pleased. They can be delighted with

:59:28.:59:33.

their performance. This man has been the start of the show, Alex

:59:34.:59:38.

Marshall. He is one of the iconic figures of the Glasgow 2014

:59:39.:59:44.

Commonwealth Games. They defeated a very good England four. Just too

:59:45.:59:47.

much for them in the end. And the gold medal match means the gold

:59:48.:59:54.

medals stay on home soil. David Peacock, Neil Speirs, Paul Foster

:59:55.:00:01.

and Alex Marshall would just too good for John McGuinness, Andrew

:00:02.:00:05.

Knapper, Stuart Airey and Jamie Chestney of England. It goes to

:00:06.:00:12.

Scotland by 16 shots to eight. Congratulations to Scotland. Another

:00:13.:00:15.

gold medal for the home nation. A warm welcome if you are just joining

:00:16.:00:21.

us. It is day nine of Glasgow 2014 and you can watch it here until

:00:22.:00:25.

seven o'clock today. We are joined by our band of merry men. Look at

:00:26.:00:31.

them, a dysfunctional boy band! I have to be careful because they do

:00:32.:00:34.

make me look good, well, they try at least. Let me run through what we

:00:35.:00:41.

have got coming your way before seven o'clock.

:00:42.:01:39.

Next this afternoon, up the River Clyde, directly where the camera is

:01:40.:01:45.

pointing and where that vote is coming from, the National hockey

:01:46.:01:51.

centre. An intriguing match, as far as the women's semifinal is

:01:52.:01:54.

concerned. Coming up, coverage of England against New Zealand, with

:01:55.:01:58.

the right to play the winner of South Africa against Australia.

:01:59.:02:03.

Australia finished their game a short while ago and this is what

:02:04.:02:08.

happened. The defending champions, who have won three out of the last

:02:09.:02:13.

four Commonwealth Games beat South Africa 7-1. They took the lead with

:02:14.:02:19.

a nice finish from inside the area. It was 2-0 at half-time but the

:02:20.:02:22.

Aussies got three goals in 15 minutes. A nice solo goal to make it

:02:23.:02:31.

five. South Africa did pull one goal back, but it is the Aussies who

:02:32.:02:40.

advance into the final. So, who will Australia face in the final? England

:02:41.:02:44.

or New Zealand? Let's get to mel clue low and Leslie Murdoch.

:02:45.:02:53.

New Zealand get it underway in the second semifinal here at Glasgow

:02:54.:02:58.

2014. Excellent tackle from Holly Webb to

:02:59.:03:10.

give her a first touch early on in the semifinal.

:03:11.:03:24.

Nicholson is literally running across the field.

:03:25.:03:49.

loud, parochial crowd find their voice.

:03:50.:04:17.

Very important reason why the ball has to be brought out, if that is

:04:18.:04:25.

where it is. If the ball is inside the 25, you cannot hit it

:04:26.:04:29.

straightaway, you have to move it for five metres. From outside the 25

:04:30.:04:34.

commute can hit a crash ball in. Some people might think the umpires

:04:35.:04:37.

are being picky, but that is the reason.

:04:38.:04:46.

It is a very efficient looking England side in the early stages.

:04:47.:04:59.

Strong whistle against the two England tacklers.

:05:00.:05:17.

Flynn was penalised for obstructing the player, using her body to stop

:05:18.:05:22.

the England defender getting to the ball.

:05:23.:05:28.

The early stages of this second semifinal.

:05:29.:05:42.

It was a surging run by Danson. Charlton did well. 22 years of age,

:05:43.:05:52.

Samantha Taylor on. Stacey Nicholson learnt her hockey

:05:53.:06:11.

in Northland, a nursery of hockey players coming through from that

:06:12.:06:17.

area of New Zealand. Some mesmerising skills from Owsley. She

:06:18.:06:19.

gets the free hip. -- hit. England, putting New Zealand on some

:06:20.:06:49.

defensive pressure. Holly Webb, otherwise New Zealand

:06:50.:07:36.

had space to carry the ball into. If you are watching international

:07:37.:07:39.

hockey for the first time, yes, you can play the ball with your stick

:07:40.:07:46.

above the shoulder. As long as it is not in a dangerous manner. It has

:07:47.:07:51.

certainly added another Di mentioned to this wonderful international

:07:52.:07:52.

sport. -- another dimensional. That was outstanding work from

:07:53.:08:56.

Owsley. Just 19 years of age. 40 caps. And it is not finished yet.

:08:57.:09:08.

She could not quite keep it in. The key for New Zealand is keeping

:09:09.:09:11.

Danson quiet today. She has been back to her best in this tournament.

:09:12.:09:15.

But it is important that the other players do not just look to spark it

:09:16.:09:17.

for England. Good work from Cocks. That time, the ball was deemed

:09:18.:09:31.

dangerous. Not too much license happens during

:09:32.:09:54.

the match, because they need to be exact to start with.

:09:55.:10:08.

Certainly, England have kept the New Zealand captain quiet in the opening

:10:09.:10:11.

exchanges. Good work again. Strong defending.

:10:12.:10:34.

But again, the New Zealand players in the wrong zone.

:10:35.:10:53.

Dennison has been solid throughout the tournament. Really composed at

:10:54.:11:00.

the back. Plays in the middle of the pitch, almost allowing Whitelock and

:11:01.:11:03.

Naylor to get forward because they have so much confidence in her

:11:04.:11:04.

distribution. I think Webster thought it was her

:11:05.:11:12.

free hit. Seven tournament goals for four

:11:13.:11:39.

guests on. -- four guests on. was a good centre. Merry, great

:11:40.:12:38.

stick skills. Slightly impeded, but she had the strength to ride the

:12:39.:12:40.

tackle. Webster has come over on to the

:12:41.:13:13.

right side of the New Zealand. -- for New Zealand.

:13:14.:13:46.

Strong tackle defence for New Zealand. Battered

:13:47.:14:20.

There was a shot at goal, well cleaned up by Hinch. They will be

:14:21.:14:27.

disappointed with that shot. Didn't get the power or direction. But a

:14:28.:14:37.

good break from Lily Owsley. Drove into the circle, went round one but

:14:38.:14:41.

could not get the drive to work past Dennison.

:14:42.:14:55.

Playing with confidence, England. A strong whistle against New Zealand.

:14:56.:15:18.

Just dropped on the back of her foot.

:15:19.:15:43.

Again, they took the free hit quickly. It is a quick match.

:15:44.:15:53.

A good contest between Thompson of New Zealand and White of England.

:15:54.:16:41.

The English captain just calms down proceedings.

:16:42.:17:06.

Owsley, searching for forward momentum.

:17:07.:17:27.

When England get the ball, they are not attacking with numbers. It is

:17:28.:17:36.

two or three, trying to take on five or six Black Sticks defenders. At

:17:37.:17:39.

some point, I feel the midfielder will have to come up and support. --

:17:40.:17:42.

the midfield. A scything drive from

:17:43.:17:59.

Richardson-Walsh, but it was read by Thompson. Playing with confidence,

:18:00.:18:02.

England. If you are wondering why England

:18:03.:18:53.

don't present the ball back to New Zealand, it is because if they do

:18:54.:18:56.

they will get told off by the umpire. So they leave it. It is not

:18:57.:18:58.

that they don't want to help. You have to try to move the ball

:18:59.:19:26.

five metres before playing it into the circle. They tried to get a

:19:27.:19:29.

deflection on the edge but there was no touch and it went straight in.

:19:30.:19:39.

Merry, having a fine game so far. Michelsen intercepts this time.

:19:40.:20:09.

Naylor, with a big drive, but Richardson-Walsh brings it out and

:20:10.:20:19.

into Michelsen's leg. Michelsen, penalty corner, New Zealand.

:20:20.:20:31.

She has given the penalty corner against Richardson-Walsh for not

:20:32.:20:37.

backing off five metres before engaging with the ball carrier,

:20:38.:20:42.

Michelsen. It was not that tackle by Shipperley. That was a clean tackle.

:20:43.:20:50.

There, Richardson-Walsh did not back off the required five metres.

:20:51.:20:58.

England, scrambling to get their defensive gear on. They

:20:59.:21:00.

England, scrambling to get their Michelsen, to inject from the

:21:01.:21:08.

baseline. It goes over and harmlessly, without anyone touching

:21:09.:21:17.

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

:21:18.:21:21.

stick at the wrong time. The Sun is finding its way through

:21:22.:21:38.

the cloud cover. 22 degrees. The Australian umpire is under a bit

:21:39.:22:21.

of pressure. It has certainly been New Zealand

:22:22.:22:59.

that have had more of the possession in the first half but neither

:23:00.:23:00.

goalkeeper has been tested. Charlton pulled off a great tackle.

:23:01.:23:45.

Michelsen, through the midfield this time. Over two Cocks on the left

:23:46.:23:48.

flank. Charlton is playing with so much

:23:49.:24:07.

confidence. It is just not falling for New

:24:08.:24:46.

Zealand at the moment. There seems to be a bit of desperation in the

:24:47.:24:49.

English defence, but at the moment it is standing firm.

:24:50.:24:57.

Australia have already booked their place, comprehensively beating South

:24:58.:25:02.

Africa 7-1. A lot of pressure on the ball

:25:03.:25:49.

carrier. England putting a lot of pressure on.

:25:50.:25:58.

Samantha Charlton has also had a solid start in defence. For someone

:25:59.:26:04.

so young, she makes extremely clean tackles at vital times. Yes, the

:26:05.:26:14.

22-year-old, who was awarded her 100th cap three games ago, Samantha

:26:15.:26:22.

Taylor 's in. -- Samantha Power Charlton.

:26:23.:27:16.

That was Webster with a shot at goal.

:27:17.:27:30.

Merry gets the free hit. She has done a couple of those so far.

:27:31.:27:43.

That had Hinch diving, but over the baseline. Great delivery by

:27:44.:27:52.

Whitelock. She always delivers the ball flat on the floor, which is

:27:53.:27:53.

what you want as a striker. It was Lucy Wood on the ball. She

:27:54.:28:14.

needed to take a little more care on the past two hours leave. On the

:28:15.:28:19.

past two Owsley. I am sure she would have wanted the

:28:20.:28:30.

ball on her forehand, but it was just too far ahead of her. A golden

:28:31.:28:34.

opportunity for England to take the lead in the match.

:28:35.:28:40.

For all the possession, it has really been a game played within the

:28:41.:28:49.

25s. That was England's first shot at goal. New Zealand, on the balance

:28:50.:28:55.

of play, deserve to have had more shots.

:28:56.:29:30.

Well, the New Zealanders have felt the sting of the South African

:29:31.:29:37.

umpire in the other game. That is Michelsen off with a green. New

:29:38.:29:41.

Zealand playing with ten players for two minutes.

:29:42.:29:48.

Goal! Lily Owsley has scored for England, with New Zealand with one

:29:49.:30:29.

player on the bench. Fantastic strength by quick on her 50th. I

:30:30.:30:36.

think Whitelock may be referring this. Yes, it is being referred. New

:30:37.:30:49.

Zealand are checking for an England foot inside the circle, please. Have

:30:50.:30:51.

a look for me. I will. They are looking for the foot on how

:30:52.:31:11.

is Lee as the ball came across. -- Lily Owsley. Definitely nothing

:31:12.:31:17.

wrong by Danson playing it into the area. It was not a foot. But the

:31:18.:31:25.

video umpire is supposed to give the correct outcome.

:31:26.:31:33.

We will be finding out in just a few seconds. It looks a perfect finish

:31:34.:31:48.

from Lily Owsley. It did not come off Danson. I think it was a glove,

:31:49.:31:57.

or an harm. It was not a foot, definitely not a foot.

:31:58.:32:04.

If it is rejected, New Zealand will lose their opportunity to ask again.

:32:05.:32:11.

If it hits the glove, they will allow it, but if it is her arm,

:32:12.:32:22.

maybe not. The umpire from Australia gets to whistle this all-important

:32:23.:32:25.

semifinal. It is critical, so they want to make sure they get it right.

:32:26.:32:33.

What is your analysis of that? I was always of the impression if it hit

:32:34.:32:36.

the glove and the glove hand was on the stick, that is part of the

:32:37.:32:42.

stick. But it hit the forearm. Not a foot. It might even be her stick. I

:32:43.:32:59.

think it's a goal. So, it is a goal? Yes, the goal

:33:00.:33:05.

stands. And the English team retreated to

:33:06.:33:14.

behind halfway, they believed it was a goal.

:33:15.:33:25.

Playing with confidence. Right from the opening whistle, England have

:33:26.:33:33.

done that, in this second semifinal. There she is, the goal-scorer, Lily

:33:34.:33:40.

Owsley. 19 years of age. This time it is Danson who gets the

:33:41.:34:08.

green card for not retreating. New Zealand cannot refer. They have lost

:34:09.:34:12.

their ability to refer. Richardson-Walsh, out onto the right

:34:13.:34:33.

flank. They have used it effectively today, England.

:34:34.:34:53.

Stolen by Flynn, and now this is the New Zealand skipper, Whitelock.

:34:54.:35:01.

Keeps it in play. And gets the free hit.

:35:02.:35:12.

Taken by Naylor. Thompson drags it into the circle. Free hit, defence.

:35:13.:35:39.

Susie Gilbert just into the circle. Free hit, defence.

:35:40.:35:43.

ball was spun in field by New Zealand. But Richardson-Walsh has

:35:44.:35:48.

been pretty spot on today. Anything coming into the circle, she is

:35:49.:35:55.

mopping up. Whitelock, off-loads to Forgesson. Looking for a linkup with

:35:56.:36:04.

Glynn. And for me, that is the key in this first half, the accuracy of

:36:05.:36:12.

England, everything they have done. MEL CLEWLOW: They have not had a lot

:36:13.:36:17.

of possession, they have soaked up a lot of New Zealand pressure, but

:36:18.:36:22.

they have made the one clear-cut chance count, and that is the

:36:23.:36:25.

difference between the two sides at the moment.

:36:26.:36:49.

330 combined England and break Britain caps for Richardson-Walsh.

:36:50.:36:55.

Another chance for England! Chased by Danson. Outside the circle now.

:36:56.:37:00.

Looking for a foot, she gets it. And New Zealand are needing to soak

:37:01.:37:13.

up some more pressure from England. 3.5 minutes left in the first half

:37:14.:37:15.

of this second semifinal. Unlucky, Forgesson, she got a big

:37:16.:37:50.

stick on the back of hers, as she delivered the ball. This time, it is

:37:51.:37:55.

Danson with the ball for England. A big tackle from Webster. Important.

:37:56.:38:07.

A big drive up the field. Unsworth. Finds the captain, moving up over

:38:08.:38:24.

halfway. Then off-loading that ball. Across the face! And out of the way

:38:25.:38:27.

of Danson. Across the front. Whitelock.

:38:28.:38:44.

Whitelock again, takes the wick free hit. How did she get that pass away

:38:45.:38:55.

under so much pressure? And they do not even get the ball! Yes, I think

:38:56.:39:05.

it was definitely a free hit. I do not think there was anything Laura

:39:06.:39:09.

Unsworth could do to get out of the way, but it makes you appreciate,

:39:10.:39:19.

Unsworth could do to get out of the Unsworth is quick, but Whitelock is

:39:20.:39:21.

still ahead of her, carrying the ball.

:39:22.:39:30.

Again, through Sophie Bray, England come forward.

:39:31.:40:34.

16 seconds on the clock. Unsworth is on the end of it. Across the face.

:40:35.:40:46.

Bray was getting close. The English coach in the stands. The half-time

:40:47.:40:59.

hooter goes. A very good 35-minute 's from England. There is the

:41:00.:41:04.

goal-scorer, 19 years of age. We have watched her with great

:41:05.:41:15.

interest. So, that contest, fascinatingly poised, and don't

:41:16.:41:18.

worry, we will be coming back to the hockey after the newsbreak, to show

:41:19.:41:22.

you the whole of the second half, with England leading New Zealand by

:41:23.:41:28.

1-0. That is it for the time being. Time now for a quick news update

:41:29.:41:34.

here on BBC Three, and we will see you in just

:44:33.:44:37.

:44:38.:44:44.

Green, with England's women 1-0 up against New Zealand. Back to our

:44:45.:44:48.

commentators, Leslie and Mel. Danson gets England under way in

:44:49.:45:10.

this second-half. Charlton and Dennison working together there.

:45:11.:45:21.

Michelsen finds Parkes, and I do not think Michelsen was quite ready for

:45:22.:45:27.

that pass back. MEL CLEWLOW: England have negated

:45:28.:45:30.

the threat of New Zealand exceptionally well. Punt has not

:45:31.:45:37.

been given the space in midfield. Gemma Flynn also, we have not

:45:38.:45:42.

mentioned her name to much today. Those two are really important

:45:43.:45:45.

players, and New Zealand really need them to be firing. This is Nicola

:45:46.:45:53.

White. Batted away by Forgesson. But again, New Zealand, just not quite

:45:54.:45:59.

in sync. Forgesson again sweeps the ball, and then gets some position,

:46:00.:46:04.

as Whitelock manages to keep possession. Michelsen. And again,

:46:05.:46:19.

Whitelock, into that circle. Michelsen again, into the circle.

:46:20.:46:30.

Chance. No. The crowd, appreciating the pressure that England have been

:46:31.:46:37.

under, and it is cleared through Glynn. Ansley.

:46:38.:46:52.

Turnover ball. White, tackled by Charlton. Probably been the best of

:46:53.:47:06.

the New Zealanders, Sam Charlton. But Bray beats Whitelock. And we

:47:07.:47:11.

have not seen that very much after, 12 games. Glynn for England. Whistle

:47:12.:47:24.

goes. Number 13 for England, Quek. Batted away by Whitelock, this time.

:47:25.:47:31.

Forgesson looking to come back. Gets it on her stick. Might have been a

:47:32.:47:41.

bit lucky there, the Kiwis. I think Anneliese thought that the ball was

:47:42.:47:47.

played up into Forgesson by Kate Richardson-Walsh.

:47:48.:47:54.

Now, the goal-scorer, Owsley, but it is Michelsen who retrieves. It is a

:47:55.:48:02.

good contest between the two youngsters. Scrambling in the

:48:03.:48:05.

midfield. Bray, up to Glynn. Webster, on her own.

:48:06.:48:44.

Drives it through. -- finds Glynn. There is the threat of a bit of rain

:48:45.:48:52.

coming in. Naylor. We have not seen a lot of this, in terms of keeping

:48:53.:48:56.

possession. It has just been one speed forward to. Now, Charlton,

:48:57.:49:05.

driving the ball, lifting it in, and the goalkeeper does well. Good work

:49:06.:49:12.

from Forgesson, how did she steal that ball? And the drive in, and

:49:13.:49:19.

this time it is Giselle Ansley who has the ball for England. The

:49:20.:49:20.

youngsters stepping up. This is a tough one to try and

:49:21.:49:39.

check, but Naylor does well. I do not know if it is a tactic, but

:49:40.:49:43.

there is a lot of crash ball going into the English circle. At the

:49:44.:49:47.

moment, the English defenders are picking it off really easily.

:49:48.:50:04.

Unsworth has Quek behind her. She allows Sam Quek to come up and take

:50:05.:50:11.

the ball. It came up off the foot of Quek as

:50:12.:50:18.

she drove Grant waiting on the left wing.

:50:19.:50:40.

Grant Nel with the ball. Shot at goal! Saved by goalkeeper Hinch. I

:50:41.:50:53.

think it came off Katie Glynn. So, it is grant on the edge of the

:50:54.:50:57.

circle. It is a tackle actually by Unsworth, which meant the pace of

:50:58.:51:01.

the delivery from Grant was not what she hoped.

:51:02.:51:15.

Michelsen has the ball for New Zealand. And yet is a foot! Penalty

:51:16.:51:50.

corner, New Zealand! -- and gets a foot. England cannot really

:51:51.:51:58.

complain, because Kylie Seymour, the umpire, said she was more than happy

:51:59.:52:03.

with that decision. Michelsen runs into the circle, and as Hollie Webb

:52:04.:52:06.

is trying to close down, the ball is played onto her feet. Michelsen to

:52:07.:52:14.

take it from the base. Waiting at the top, for New Zealand,

:52:15.:52:23.

Whitelock, Punt and Glynn. And a great save from Hinch. Naylor cannot

:52:24.:52:30.

put the rebound in. The crowd go nuts! As Danson takes the ball from

:52:31.:52:36.

one end to the other! So, a quick breakaway. And Glynn get

:52:37.:52:47.

the ball for New Zealand. Gilbert. Finds Wood. Lunging a bit, the New

:52:48.:53:30.

Zealanders, now. A chance! Shot at goal! Harmlessly over the baseline.

:53:31.:53:38.

It was Gilbert. The players were in there, trying to get a touch. Lovely

:53:39.:53:43.

ball by Lucy Wood. Susie Gilbert with the shot. I think it was Ellie

:53:44.:53:48.

Watton on her knees, trying to get the deflection, but could not quite

:53:49.:53:54.

send it goalwards. Michelsen, out on the right. Lots of space for

:53:55.:54:00.

Michelsen to dribble today. But cut off by the England captain.

:54:01.:54:10.

Hard to get past three England players. Slipped through by Punt,

:54:11.:54:16.

but Michelsen was not ready. Forgesson does really well, and she

:54:17.:54:39.

has stolen a bit of possession today.

:54:40.:54:45.

Strong drive through, but picked off.

:54:46.:55:13.

Thompson is back there for New Zealand. And Webster. Under

:55:14.:55:28.

pressure. The ball is not falling to wear the New Zealand women want it

:55:29.:55:30.

to. We are so used to New Zealand in

:55:31.:55:51.

this tournament playing a free-flowing, attacking style of

:55:52.:55:55.

hockey. It almost looks like they are getting to the English defence

:55:56.:55:57.

of 25, and running out of ideas. are getting to the English defence

:55:58.:56:03.

of 25, Scriven through by Dennison. Webster now,, on her stick. Gets

:56:04.:56:11.

into the circle. Cocks. But the captain is there, all 330 caps of

:56:12.:56:22.

experience. And Sophie Cocks has got 43 as well.

:56:23.:56:34.

Dennison has pushed right up the field. The drive in, we have seen

:56:35.:56:39.

that so many times from New Zealand. They are not able to get the passing

:56:40.:56:52.

going. The coach, not giving much away. They pretty much stay the

:56:53.:56:59.

same, don't they? But they might change now! Lucy Wood! Oh, Whitelock

:57:00.:57:06.

picks up a great tackle, but she will have it against her.

:57:07.:57:20.

A chance to relieve the pressure for New Zealand. It might not be falling

:57:21.:57:42.

for the New Zealand women, but one person who is having a very good

:57:43.:57:46.

game is Samantha Charlton. Forgesson tries to keep the ball in.

:57:47.:57:55.

Now, Owsley will get the free hit. Every time she touches the ball,

:57:56.:58:14.

something happens. She is either go forward girl for England.

:58:15.:58:23.

Quek, dragged in by Flynn, that was an important steel. The ball through

:58:24.:58:44.

to Cocks, on the angle. Cocks. Still has the ball!

:58:45.:58:52.

And Dennison gets dispossessed. And Bray is making some yardage. No,

:58:53.:59:08.

takes the fallback. Only one goal in it. 20 minutes left

:59:09.:59:31.

in the match. You can sense that England are on

:59:32.:00:00.

top at this stage in the one on ones, tackling in pairs. New Zealand

:00:01.:00:10.

chasing hard, continued to press. It is just not falling for them.

:00:11.:00:20.

Lily Owsley just too close when that ball came down.

:00:21.:00:41.

In the end, just catches the foot of Krystal Forgesson. Great pass by

:00:42.:01:08.

Kate Richardson-Walsh. I think England have trapped just about

:01:09.:01:12.

everything that has come their way today. I think they learned their

:01:13.:01:18.

lesson when they played against Scotland. A home nations battle is

:01:19.:01:21.

something you can get yourselves up for. They would have gone away and

:01:22.:01:26.

looked at their own performances, particularly in the second half.

:01:27.:01:31.

They were dominated the Scottish team. Today they come out and stuck

:01:32.:01:33.

to their task very well. Lily Owsley is always making her way

:01:34.:01:54.

up the field. Alex Danson wanted it early, and she

:01:55.:02:05.

got it, but New Zealand clear. England are happy to ? around. -- to

:02:06.:02:56.

knock it around. They have control. Again, Lili Owsley with the ball.

:02:57.:03:19.

The goalkeeper stops for England. The ball is still alive! A shot at

:03:20.:03:26.

goal! A penalty corner for England. 16 minutes left in this semifinal.

:03:27.:03:32.

Their first penalty 16 minutes left in this semifinal.

:03:33.:03:34.

Their first corner of the game. Great skills in here. Lucy Wood just

:03:35.:03:41.

tries to get it in front. The ball hit the foot of Thompson. They have

:03:42.:03:49.

a number of options. It is in! No, over the top! Long

:03:50.:04:15.

corner. New Zealand breathe a sigh of relief.

:04:16.:04:38.

Richardson-Walsh. Georgie Twigg with a follow-up. Fantastic play by Emily

:04:39.:04:46.

Naylor to send the ball over the top.

:04:47.:05:10.

Charlton has been pretty much perfect all day. The quick legs of

:05:11.:05:19.

Anita Punt now. England forced them outside. England are defending in

:05:20.:05:20.

numbers. The free hit is won by Sam Charlton.

:05:21.:05:33.

Up to Anita Punt. Again, the Kiwis search for...

:05:34.:06:37.

England are working Again, the Kiwis search for...

:06:38.:06:55.

New Zealand ball carriers the Again, the Kiwis search for...

:06:56.:06:57.

to get their head up and make the pass. I think they realise that New

:06:58.:07:03.

Zealand are best playing into space.

:07:04.:07:12.

They have starved New Zealand of possession today. Again, they forge

:07:13.:07:58.

forward. It comes off the foot of Nicola White and they are off.

:07:59.:08:36.

Sophie clocks gets a foot. Penalty corner for Australia. 11 minutes

:08:37.:08:52.

left in the match. Sophie Coks does really well here. She plays it onto

:08:53.:09:02.

her feet. England are scrambling to defend, get the right number of

:09:03.:09:04.

offenders back. Punt! It will be another penalty

:09:05.:09:31.

corner. New Zealand need to remember that they don't have a referral.

:09:32.:09:40.

They are calling for it, but they don't have one. Great running by

:09:41.:09:44.

Ellie Watton to block that. Anita Punt. It will be a long

:09:45.:10:02.

corner. Everything that New Zealand is the one that England is not

:10:03.:10:07.

coming off. They are reading it, in the zoom, England. -- in the zone.

:10:08.:10:36.

Free hit for New Zealand just outside the dotted line. I am not

:10:37.:10:48.

sure why that was overturned, but no complaints from New Zealand.

:10:49.:11:09.

Good spotting. What a pass! Alex Danson! Outstanding vision by

:11:10.:11:28.

England to put the up and over. Great ball by Giselle Ansley.

:11:29.:11:38.

A free hit defence. A card for Anita Punt. A yellow. That was against

:11:39.:12:09.

Petrea Webster. Who is off? Yes, Petrea Webster. New Zealand are

:12:10.:12:20.

playing the last remnants of this match with only ten players.

:12:21.:12:32.

The noise increases. Stacey Mickelson has won it for New

:12:33.:12:46.

Zealand. She puts it through to Krystal Forgesson.

:12:47.:12:58.

New Zealand have one too many on, have they? They have ten. They are

:12:59.:13:07.

meant to have only nine field players. Nine plus the goalkeeper.

:13:08.:13:18.

They had too many. They had to take Stacey Mickelson. So, the captain

:13:19.:13:33.

has to go, as well. So, a mistake the rotations. New Zealand played

:13:34.:13:39.

when there were only meant to have ten on the field, but they had 11.

:13:40.:13:45.

Because of that, the captain has to be removed from the field of play.

:13:46.:14:00.

Is it a yellow card offence? I guess it happened in the World Cup with

:14:01.:14:06.

the Argentina men against England -- against Britain. I think it is

:14:07.:14:11.

something that the officials are now picking up on. So, Petrea Webster is

:14:12.:14:25.

off, and Kayla Whitelock is off for a technical infringement, having too

:14:26.:14:26.

many players on the field. 11 versus nine. Free hit for New

:14:27.:14:41.

Zealand. Punt now, Owsley with the ball, and

:14:42.:15:52.

lucky for New Zealand. They are playing to the whistle. It is all

:15:53.:16:04.

happening. A free hit to the defence.

:16:05.:16:09.

New Zealand are just need to calm down, with what has happened.

:16:10.:16:14.

New Zealand are just need to calm minutes left, three of those will be

:16:15.:16:21.

with players down. England using their experience a very well to

:16:22.:16:23.

waste seconds wherever they can. their experience a very well to

:16:24.:16:30.

waste A bigger drive through from Punt.

:16:31.:16:49.

Webster and Whitelock on a yellow because of the technical

:16:50.:16:54.

infringement. Too many players on the park.

:16:55.:17:08.

Grant. Clever skill. Another yellow card. Tender side. -- ten aside.

:17:09.:18:00.

Webster has it for England. A yellow card for Danson, England will finish

:18:01.:18:17.

with only ten on the field. Mesmerising from Lucy, but it is one

:18:18.:18:34.

back. Ainsley mops up. That probably just about epitomises the type of

:18:35.:18:45.

game in New Zealand have had today. What an inspirational game from

:18:46.:18:50.

England. Usually disappointed after an 11th placing at the World Cup.

:18:51.:19:01.

They had a tournament before Glasgow in London and they won it, albeit

:19:02.:19:09.

closely. But they have put together... And a goal! Who would

:19:10.:19:26.

have believed it? The back on the field, Whitelock the -- re-enters

:19:27.:19:50.

the game. Katie : Glynn, you take your hat off, unbelievable play.

:19:51.:20:03.

And it hits the post! Will there be a referral? This game has all of

:20:04.:20:11.

it! A great reverse shot onto the post.

:20:12.:20:19.

Richardson Walshe, with a minute to go, absolutely right to referral of

:20:20.:20:34.

this. Can you look for the first infringement, please?

:20:35.:20:40.

I will. Thank you.

:20:41.:20:49.

This is it, off the post. Unbelievable. Centimetres.

:20:50.:21:02.

Centimetres away. In her 150th game. That led to the penalty corner which

:21:03.:21:08.

has been given for the tackle by Unsworth.

:21:09.:21:16.

This is what we are looking at. Where does that stick come from?

:21:17.:21:31.

Penalty corner, in my mind. Instructions being given to

:21:32.:21:37.

Forgesson, who runs out with the message now.

:21:38.:21:45.

There is no clear reason to change your decision.

:21:46.:21:50.

So we are staying with the corner, they lose the referral, is that

:21:51.:21:56.

correct? Yes.

:21:57.:22:06.

Time for the defence to dawn their protective equipment. The clock is

:22:07.:22:13.

counting down. 20 seconds for them to get their gear on. New Zealand,

:22:14.:22:21.

desperately trying to get back into the game, have evened up receding

:22:22.:22:27.

Sykes to a magical goal from Katie Glynn. -- evened up proceedings.

:22:28.:22:43.

Under one minutes to play. Forgesson With the dive, and a penalty corner

:22:44.:22:56.

this time. The South African umpire has called it.

:22:57.:23:09.

It has to be an umpire's referral. They are saying that Richardson

:23:10.:23:21.

Walshe took the free hit with a face mask on, you are not supposed to do

:23:22.:23:30.

that. Eight seconds remain on the clock in

:23:31.:23:43.

this second semifinal. The last few minutes full of drama. There it is,

:23:44.:23:56.

hitting it with the mask on. They will wind the clock down. Final

:23:57.:24:02.

play, unless we go through a shoot out. Poised and waiting,

:24:03.:24:16.

Richardson-Walsh, and it is a 1-1 draw at the end of regulation. The

:24:17.:24:28.

will be a penalty shoot out. What a comeback. At the end of two lots of

:24:29.:24:46.

35 minutes, it is 1-1. Stepping up first for England,

:24:47.:25:21.

Georgia Twigg. As long as it is with him that eight seconds you can have

:25:22.:25:36.

another go. -- within. 1-0, England. It is good from Twigg, she changed

:25:37.:25:57.

the angle and executed very well. Making sure she knows where the goal

:25:58.:26:05.

is. Eight seconds for Whitelock to get her team on the board. In it

:26:06.:26:15.

goes. Really composed finish. Tripling the

:26:16.:26:35.

whole time -- dribbling. Danson, for England. Off she goes. Rutherford

:26:36.:26:50.

hovering, and in it goes for England. Well played, Alex Danson.

:26:51.:27:04.

Runs on the angle, possibly could have been a penalty, but diving,

:27:05.:27:24.

puts the ball into the empty goal. Anita Punt up next. Starting from

:27:25.:27:35.

her left, not the middle. Mind games being played. And it works. She has

:27:36.:27:57.

done it, Hinch. England now one a head.

:27:58.:28:03.

Giving herself more of a lever, a longer reach.

:28:04.:28:11.

Second semifinal at the Commonwealth Games. Suzy Gilbert next. Gilbert

:28:12.:28:24.

versus Rutherford. It is in. One more for England. Suzy Gilbert,

:28:25.:28:37.

always looking at where Sally Rutherford is going. She just moves

:28:38.:28:45.

it that little bit further. Rutherford dives, but could not keep

:28:46.:28:58.

it out. Glynn, the goal-scorer

:28:59.:29:03.

it out. this situation. This must go in, the

:29:04.:29:04.

pressure now on Glynn. Already this situation. This must go in, the

:29:05.:29:18.

the net once, and... No foul. Another save for England.

:29:19.:29:29.

Just to straight from Katie Glynn. Just did not look like she knew

:29:30.:29:37.

where she needed to go on that one. If this goes in England are in the

:29:38.:29:42.

final. They most certainly are. There she

:29:43.:29:54.

is. 24-year-old. Has the ball, Rutherford makes a strong stand, it

:29:55.:30:08.

is a miss. Hope for New Zealand yet. England's first Miss. Rutherford cut

:30:09.:30:18.

down the angle. Sophie will be disappointed with

:30:19.:30:21.

that. She is usually good the backhand. Maddie Hinch has been the

:30:22.:31:03.

hero for England! They are through to the gold medal match! The only

:31:04.:31:10.

way they have been able to separate these two sides as with the penalty

:31:11.:31:14.

shot died. It will be an England Australia final. Hugs all around,

:31:15.:31:29.

especially for the goalkeeper. England will have to put aside their

:31:30.:31:34.

3-0 loss to Australia earlier in the campaign. You have to give them

:31:35.:31:40.

credit. They finished 11th in the World Cup six weeks ago and it was

:31:41.:31:45.

doom and gloom. They have and always paid their most attractive hockey,

:31:46.:31:48.

but they are into the final. They have guaranteed themselves a medal.

:31:49.:31:54.

It gives a nice shine to the summer. You have to feel sorry for New

:31:55.:31:57.

Zealand, a horrible way to end the match. The players shaking hands. It

:31:58.:32:12.

was 1-1 at full-time, into the shoot out, England win the shoot out 4-2.

:32:13.:32:25.

Maddie Hinch, huge congratulations. You must be delighted with your

:32:26.:32:35.

performance. I am really pleased. It is a massive team effort. I knew

:32:36.:32:42.

they would score, so why have the confidence that all I had to do was

:32:43.:32:46.

stop a few and we would win. Some big stops for you in the match. Yes,

:32:47.:32:51.

but it was a solid performance all round. I'm glad I did my job well

:32:52.:32:57.

today. Australia is always a tough match. They have their sights set on

:32:58.:33:01.

gold. Did you have a chance to look at their match against South

:33:02.:33:06.

Africa? No, we were focused on the skin. We know Australia very well,

:33:07.:33:11.

we play them a lot. In the pool game, we felt we matched them. I

:33:12.:33:18.

think will be a close encounter. Thanks so much.

:33:19.:33:26.

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

:33:27.:33:33.

myself because it was my player that I was marking who scored at the end.

:33:34.:33:38.

Just lack of concentration from me. We have practised hard on penalties.

:33:39.:33:46.

Maddie Hinch is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. The

:33:47.:33:50.

atmosphere throughout the match was incredible. England had so much

:33:51.:33:57.

support! In every game this support has been amazing. It is such a good

:33:58.:34:01.

venue. All the noise comes into the picture. The Scotland game was epic,

:34:02.:34:08.

bag types and everything! Today the crowd was fantastic again. We know

:34:09.:34:13.

how strong Australia are. Three out of the last four titles. Where does

:34:14.:34:20.

your strength like going into the match? When we played them

:34:21.:34:23.

recently, I think we do know how to break them down. Our midfielders and

:34:24.:34:30.

forwards can break to their backline. We will need to be brave

:34:31.:34:35.

on the ball. We need to cut through their press. If we can do that, we

:34:36.:34:39.

will get opportunities. How are you feeling? Is this you heading into

:34:40.:34:48.

your final match as a player? I am going to take some time after the

:34:49.:34:56.

game to make sure I get the decision right. I will play applicable as my

:34:57.:35:00.

last game. It will be a fantastic occasion. -- I will play it as if it

:35:01.:35:07.

is my last game. It will be emotional. Of course. You live for

:35:08.:35:11.

these games. From where we were a few weeks ago until now, the girls

:35:12.:35:17.

have come on leaps and bounds. How much rebuilding has been going on

:35:18.:35:20.

since the world championship disappointment? It is a quick

:35:21.:35:30.

turnaround. It is a very busy year. We had a couple of weeks to have

:35:31.:35:35.

another selection, regroup and review and come here. We have worked

:35:36.:35:40.

so hard. The final step! Best of luck for tomorrow. Thank you.

:35:41.:35:50.

That is a magic result. England pulling the rabbit out of the hat.

:35:51.:36:05.

That is how the penalty shoot outs be done!

:36:06.:36:10.

It is the first time women's boxing lobby in the Commonwealth. I want to

:36:11.:36:27.

win gold. I can't be distracted. Lots of hard work, a big engine and

:36:28.:36:33.

a big heart has got him through. Alanna Audley-Murphy, a brilliant

:36:34.:36:41.

competitive performance. I want to do the job, get the gold. Best punch

:36:42.:36:47.

in the contest! Williams is all over him. Michaela Walsh has secured

:36:48.:36:55.

herself some metal hardware, but what colour will it be? Anything

:36:56.:37:03.

less than gold will be a major disappointment. Every time I get in

:37:04.:37:07.

the ring I have got to bring my top game for the chance to make history

:37:08.:37:13.

again. Over at the SECC it is semi finals day in boxing across all 13

:37:14.:37:17.

with divisions, the men's and women's. Up for grabs is a place in

:37:18.:37:24.

the finals tomorrow. The next bite we are going to show you is Qais

:37:25.:37:41.

Ashfaq against Benson the Jan Carew -- Benson Njangiru.

:37:42.:37:47.

So, this is the last Kenyans left in the competition. Qais Ashfaq is the

:37:48.:38:00.

man in red. The opponent in blue is the most experienced member of the

:38:01.:38:09.

Kenyan team, Benson Njangiru. He has boxed and the Olympics, a couple of

:38:10.:38:14.

world Championships. He took silver in Delhi at a slightly lighter

:38:15.:38:18.

division, the 52 kilograms division. So, Benson Njangiru in blue, Qais

:38:19.:38:26.

Ashfaq in red. Qais Ashfaq has had a good Commonwealth Games so far. He

:38:27.:38:37.

has his hands full with this Kenyan. Benson Njangiru is skilful,

:38:38.:38:46.

strong on the front foot. Qais Ashfaq just has to get his timing

:38:47.:38:52.

right. He has good, fast hands. He needs the box existence. This guy he

:38:53.:38:58.

is up against is strong, but predict the ball. He will walk on the

:38:59.:39:04.

punches. Good hands by Qais Ashfaq. Kept him nicely on the chin. The

:39:05.:39:10.

Polish referee just says to Benson Njangiru, brush Down Under gloves.

:39:11.:39:15.

Qais Ashfaq is boxing very nicely indeed. Fast hands from Qais Ashfaq.

:39:16.:39:21.

Eight cracking right hook. He brought him onto it. Benson Njangiru

:39:22.:39:26.

dropped his left hand and walked onto it.

:39:27.:39:35.

Qais Ashfaq is moving very nicely. He is the taller of the two. Nice

:39:36.:39:50.

variation, uppercut them right hook. Three three-minute rounds, remember.

:39:51.:39:55.

Five judges at ringside, and a computer selects three of them to

:39:56.:40:05.

count their scores. A ten point system. The winner of the Rhine gets

:40:06.:40:07.

ten points, the loser can get system. The winner of the Rhine gets

:40:08.:40:19.

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

:40:20.:40:24.

it is 10-9. Good opening round by Qais Ashfaq. He has boxed very

:40:25.:40:29.

cleverly. He hasn't wasted too much energy wasted too many shots.

:40:30.:40:36.

The referee light system them get on with it. A very good three minutes

:40:37.:40:52.

for Qais Ashfaq. Great display of counterpunching by Qais Ashfaq. He

:40:53.:40:55.

just brought his opponents onto his right hook. Throughout the round,

:40:56.:41:03.

Qais Ashfaq boxed very well on the back foot. Brought his opponent onto

:41:04.:41:08.

the shots. He will have every judge, no question.

:41:09.:41:23.

Five English boxers into the medals. It has been a long time since Ken --

:41:24.:41:39.

Kenya were a force in boxing. It has been tough for what we would call

:41:40.:41:43.

the traditional African countries to break into the top level of medals.

:41:44.:41:49.

Second round for Qais Ashfaq. He won the opening round. His

:41:50.:41:57.

counterpunching is just too much for Benson Njangiru. Benson Njangiru has

:41:58.:42:03.

boxed in a couple of Olympic games, a couple of world Championships.

:42:04.:42:10.

Sweet right hand by Qais Ashfaq. Moving out of trouble. Wonderfully

:42:11.:42:19.

quick feet. If Benson Njangiru is going to have any success, he needs

:42:20.:42:25.

to be quicker. The speed of this has suited Qais Ashfaq down to the

:42:26.:42:30.

ground. He can slow things down, watch the attacks come at him. He is

:42:31.:42:36.

boxing in second gear, here. In total control. Benson Njangiru is

:42:37.:42:48.

having a problem with this style of the Englishman. He looks a bit small

:42:49.:42:54.

at bantamweight. Good footwork yet again.

:42:55.:43:09.

Benson Njangiru tried to draw Qais Ashfaq's hands down, but to no

:43:10.:43:23.

effect. Benson Njangiru is too far out, his stance is too wide.

:43:24.:43:36.

I am just looking at the English coaches, and they are living every

:43:37.:43:46.

single punch. Last minute of the second round. Another round to the

:43:47.:43:53.

man in red, I am pretty sure. He has boxed beautifully. Just have to keep

:43:54.:44:00.

the concentration up, don't get complacent. Yes, he is boxing very

:44:01.:44:05.

well indeed, making it simple for himself. A bit of a bang of heads.

:44:06.:44:16.

That has caused a lot of controversy, has entered contests

:44:17.:44:19.

that would not have been entered if they were still wearing head

:44:20.:44:20.

guards. It has caused a problem for Michael

:44:21.:44:39.

Conlon, and it is up to the Northern Irish team to try and get his eye

:44:40.:44:44.

right before the next round. So, Qais Ashfaq, his coaches will be

:44:45.:44:53.

pleased at him, won't they? They will be delighted. He is boxing to

:44:54.:44:58.

his strengths, on the back foot. That was a fantastic left hand. He

:44:59.:45:05.

draws the lead of his opponent. He drew the lead, then went back at

:45:06.:45:11.

him. Classic counterpunching. One judge has even gone 10-8. I wouldn't

:45:12.:45:12.

disagree with that. the left eye? I don't think it is

:45:13.:45:31.

anything to worry about. Their heads clashed a couple of

:45:32.:45:35.

times, they just have to concentrate on boxing distance again.

:45:36.:45:48.

One more round to go. That should see the man in red, the southpaw

:45:49.:45:56.

from Leeds, English bantamweight, through to his first ever

:45:57.:46:00.

Commonwealth Games final. He is 21 years of age and has been boxing

:46:01.:46:06.

well around Europe. Had some success in Finland. Most recently defeated

:46:07.:46:20.

an old foe, Joe Ham, but the man in blue, Benson Njangiru, knows she is

:46:21.:46:28.

behind and must stop this contest, but I don't think he would be

:46:29.:46:33.

allowed to do that. Still a bit tentative. Has been that much more

:46:34.:46:40.

confident all the way through, Ashfaq.

:46:41.:46:45.

Sustained pressure is what their man needs now in this last round. But he

:46:46.:46:50.

has opted just to stay on the outside and keeps getting picked

:46:51.:46:57.

off. Again, this is bread and butter for Ashfaq, who must just now stay

:46:58.:47:09.

concentrated and avoid complacency. They have invested heavily in tenure

:47:10.:47:12.

in the last couple of years and have a full complement of boxes. -- in

:47:13.:47:26.

Kenya. -- boxers. But this is their last man standing, Njangiru. He is

:47:27.:47:37.

looking for one big shot. Good footwork by Ashfaq to get himself

:47:38.:47:48.

out of trouble. A quieter round. Such a contrast to the previous

:47:49.:47:54.

contest. But that is the look of the draw. Having said that, Ashfaq has

:47:55.:48:02.

made it easy on himself, adopted the right tactics, drew in his opponent,

:48:03.:48:13.

fought as a classic counterpuncher. He is now less than 30 seconds from

:48:14.:48:19.

a place in the final. The bantamweight division, 56 kilograms.

:48:20.:48:32.

A good little combination by Ashfaq right at the end, he has won this

:48:33.:48:39.

with a bit to spare. Keeps himself out of trouble. He is delighted and

:48:40.:48:47.

can now let the emotions go. A very composed and professional

:48:48.:48:51.

performance takes him through to the final. He has changed bronze into

:48:52.:49:07.

either silver or gold. He has the chance of even more.

:49:08.:49:14.

A clever display from Ashfaq, got caught occasionally, but boxed

:49:15.:49:23.

within himself. When you can win a semifinal like that, it just pops

:49:24.:49:30.

off for me. You have got a lot of talent if you can do that.

:49:31.:49:40.

The judges all in agreement, the winner and going to the bantamweight

:49:41.:49:43.

final, in the red corner, representing England, Qais Ashfaq!

:49:44.:50:04.

They took it 30-27, 30-26, and 29-28. It is onwards and upwards for

:50:05.:50:15.

England's and wait, -- bantamweight, Qais Ashfaq.

:50:16.:50:25.

Well done, very convincing. I just kept composed, landed the

:50:26.:50:29.

shots. What did you make of that?

:50:30.:50:35.

He moved the whale and did not get involved in too many exchanges, made

:50:36.:50:40.

boxing will easy. I said he would go on and win the gold medal.

:50:41.:50:47.

How much of an influence has this guy been for you?

:50:48.:50:53.

Amazing. He makes me want to win it much more.

:50:54.:50:59.

You are in the final. Yes in the final, aiming for gold.

:51:00.:51:08.

Many congratulations. Well done, Qais Ashfaq one more

:51:09.:51:14.

fight to win gold. After a really busy daytime session

:51:15.:51:34.

in the boxing, mixed fortunes for the home nations. We have just seen

:51:35.:51:42.

that Qais Ashfaq will fight for gold against Michael Conlon of Northern

:51:43.:51:48.

Ireland. But unfortunately Rhys McFadden will have to settle for

:51:49.:51:54.

bronze. Josh Taylor, he came through in the welterweight division. Joe

:51:55.:52:04.

Joyce, he did not have two lace up today, he goes into the

:52:05.:52:10.

superheavyweight final virtue of a walkover.

:52:11.:52:15.

We'll take a break now hurt in terms of coverage for a quick news update.

:52:16.:52:30.

And it's about time that I did something about that.

:52:31.:52:42.

Back to Glasgow after a quick update. Officials are looking at

:52:43.:53:14.

reports that a captured soldier has dual British Israeli nationality. A

:53:15.:53:20.

deadly Ebola outbreak is spreading faster than efforts to control

:53:21.:53:24.

according to the WHO believe it could be catastrophic in terms of

:53:25.:53:27.

lives lost. A foul at least one peer has been treated as suspicious. --

:53:28.:53:45.

fire at Eastbourne Pier. What song is the strangest lyrics ever? A

:53:46.:53:52.

Newport reckons it is a song by the killers. -- a new poll.

:53:53.:53:58.

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

:53:59.:54:02.

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

:54:03.:54:10.

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

:54:11.:54:13.

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

:54:14.:54:15.

This ashram of yours, it might be a cult.

:54:16.:54:18.

I take it back, he's definitely Cuckoo's son.

:54:19.:54:22.

Welcome back. We had next to the science Museum. This will be the

:54:23.:54:53.

place to be for the next couple of days. From 9:30pm tonight, a real

:54:54.:55:05.

treat, people abseiling down from the top of the museum. And the

:55:06.:55:13.

nearby boats will be used as stages. There will be flares,

:55:14.:55:22.

fireworks, beat boxers, and music from right around the cultures. It

:55:23.:55:30.

is all going off. And there will be warships. HMS Bangor, we saw it

:55:31.:55:53.

reversing. Coming up, a sport dominated by

:55:54.:56:03.

Singapore. Here's a quick guide as to how to play it.

:56:04.:56:12.

Table tennis is a quick and skilful sport requiring a combination of

:56:13.:56:23.

power and delicacy. Players have different control over speed and

:56:24.:56:29.

spin. Each rally begins with a server which must be hit from behind

:56:30.:56:37.

the table, before crossing the net it must bounce on the server's side.

:56:38.:56:45.

Each of the players must then strike the ball in return. Those who hit

:56:46.:56:52.

out to lose the point. After every two points, service is changed.

:56:53.:56:57.

Matches are the best of five sets with a set one by 11 point four.

:56:58.:57:07.

They are bubbles, Mixed Doubles, and separate team competitions for men

:57:08.:57:12.

and women. In the semifinals of the men's

:57:13.:57:16.

doubles, William Richford, current English national champion, alongside

:57:17.:57:21.

Paul Tring call, to convert the Singapore team.

:57:22.:57:27.

So much said about the might of the Singaporean line-up. But you get the

:57:28.:58:18.

So much said about the might of the Singaporean line-up. But you feeling

:58:19.:58:27.

that Drinkhall and Pritchford are not at all daunted. Classy players.

:58:28.:58:52.

Service just drifting a little long, Drinkhall seized the opportunity.

:58:53.:59:00.

Important the English keep the momentum. The Singaporean duo are

:59:01.:59:05.

very consistent and stable. A good response. Well-balanced. If

:59:06.:59:27.

there is anybody who is safe, secure and will, reliant, it is Gao Ning.

:59:28.:59:46.

Gao Ning, highest ranked player in the men's tournament, number 12 in

:59:47.:59:58.

the world, he has been inside the top ten. A very impressive resume.

:59:59.:00:10.

Did extremely well to win that point. After a

:00:11.:00:18.

Did extremely well to win that you return. -- earlier.

:00:19.:00:27.

What a charge back from Drinkhall and Pritchford who have now levelled

:00:28.:00:33.

the opening game. That momentum you were talking about.

:00:34.:01:17.

ball? England's lead for the first time.

:01:18.:01:23.

Singapore now only two points from taking the opening game.

:01:24.:02:39.

There must be a 2-point margin to win this game.

:02:40.:03:27.

The pair from Singapore are the top seeds.

:03:28.:03:33.

Well saved. Paul Drinkhall coming up with something very special. It was

:03:34.:03:46.

tremendous. To some extent, he was off balance and the direction of the

:03:47.:03:53.

play was quite incredible. Two game point saved by the English pair.

:03:54.:04:07.

What a shot from Li Hu. Looking for the forehand.

:04:08.:04:16.

There is the opening game. It was tight. 13-11.

:04:17.:04:34.

It was a close game. Li Hu looked tentative now and again. Gao Ning is

:04:35.:04:44.

Mr safety and winning the first game, I think it settles Li Hu a

:04:45.:04:50.

little bit and let's see what happens. We have a top-class sparing

:04:51.:04:58.

in Gao Ning and Li Hu. Twice in a row winning the world torment's

:04:59.:05:02.

doubles finals. They are world-class. Gao Ning is a very --

:05:03.:05:16.

the coach is a very wise man indeed. Gao Ning is talking to Li Hu. It

:05:17.:05:24.

happens without knowing, one player assumes the team captain role and I

:05:25.:05:27.

think Gao Ning has an important role to play.

:05:28.:05:43.

In doubles play, over the table is crucially important. The sort of

:05:44.:06:33.

point won by Paul Drinkhall. Another aggressive shot from Paul

:06:34.:06:40.

Drinkhall. It was well directed. They are combining well. Liam

:06:41.:07:24.

Pitchford and Paul Drinkhall. They should have confidence, playing well

:07:25.:07:28.

here and making their way in the rankings in the world, as well.

:07:29.:07:40.

That was good play from Singapore over the table.

:07:41.:07:51.

Liam Pitchford has had some good wins in singles. They

:07:52.:07:57.

quarterfinalist at the German open last year and he has notched up wins

:07:58.:08:01.

over extremely good players, including Gao Ning. Top 20 wins, a

:08:02.:08:05.

couple of top 50s. They are so solid. I think you have

:08:06.:08:43.

summed it up perfectly. That was a great attack from the

:08:44.:08:58.

England pair. So far, Li Hu and Gao Ning have

:08:59.:09:12.

played extremely efficiently, nothing expansive, very good near

:09:13.:09:15.

the net and very good over the table.

:09:16.:09:21.

That service drifted too long and Gao Ning saw the opportunity.

:09:22.:09:35.

At this level, the pressure is on every point. The margins are so

:09:36.:09:43.

small. There is not much difference between losing and winning the point

:09:44.:09:46.

and you cannot afford anything loose.

:09:47.:10:04.

Two points from the second game, Gao Ning and Li Hu.

:10:05.:10:15.

Again, superb placement from them. Not going for too much.

:10:16.:10:25.

Joanna Drinkhall at the right and Kelly Sibley at the left, the

:10:26.:10:34.

women's doubles players. Joanna is the wife of Paul Drinkhall. Both in

:10:35.:10:41.

the women's doubles and mixed doubles semifinals.

:10:42.:11:06.

Paul Drinkhall struck the forehand very strongly.

:11:07.:11:37.

Super play, combining superbly, the England pair.

:11:38.:11:43.

Three-game point saved. Has Singapore called a time-out? Yes,

:11:44.:11:54.

very tiny. The three-game point is taken back forcefully by the England

:11:55.:12:05.

team. A good call by the coach, taking the time out when his team

:12:06.:12:08.

are ahead, not when they are in trouble. 2-0 ahead is massively

:12:09.:12:14.

different to 1-1. The last point England won, it

:12:15.:12:30.

underlines the importance in doubles at being good over the table. Joanna

:12:31.:12:42.

Drinkhall in the middle and Kelly Sibley to the left, the women's

:12:43.:12:49.

doubles pairing. Both of those hoping for an England win. Watching

:12:50.:12:54.

the doubles yesterday, I thought there was a new-found spirit in the

:12:55.:12:58.

England team. The way they responded to each other was phenomenal. This

:12:59.:13:02.

is a big moment in this match. The time-out paid off and they go

:13:03.:13:19.

into a 2-0 lead. Extremely tight again, in 11-9. We may look back and

:13:20.:13:27.

see that as a massive call by the coach.

:13:28.:13:36.

We have to congratulate him for the decision. At the moment, the England

:13:37.:13:44.

pair not quite able to keep up the momentum, but take your hats off to

:13:45.:13:50.

Singapore. They have been superb on the return of service and creating

:13:51.:14:00.

the angles. The time for the team to be brave. Talk to each other,

:14:01.:14:04.

encourage each other, try to build momentum and build-up the pace of

:14:05.:14:10.

the match. The England pair are faster players than Singapore. If

:14:11.:14:15.

they can keep a higher tempo, that is the best way to get into the

:14:16.:14:20.

match. Just now and again, you have to take the odd risk.

:14:21.:14:33.

From the Singapore point of view, you know what works. Continue

:14:34.:14:37.

efficiently. Efficiency is the word from the

:14:38.:15:03.

Singapore pair's point of view. The England pair will need some flair.

:15:04.:15:08.

They will have to almost play what you can call their best table tennis

:15:09.:15:14.

to bring this home, especially from 2-0. So far, Gao Ning and Crow have

:15:15.:15:24.

given a good coaching session in how to play men's doubles. There has

:15:25.:15:27.

been nothing in it on the scoreline. Exploding into the fourth. --

:15:28.:15:47.

beforehand. They have got to keep going for

:15:48.:16:48.

those. Waite to win big titles, you have to be brave.

:16:49.:17:15.

They've certainly ignited something here. The rhythm on the forehand.

:17:16.:17:30.

Waite that in these situations, do you play a little bit more freely?

:17:31.:17:51.

Oh-oh. What a shot from Paul Drinkhall. Suddenly Paul Drinkhall

:17:52.:18:25.

and Liam Pitchford have found an incredible amount of momentum.

:18:26.:18:43.

Seven-game points for Drinkhall and Pitchford. And they've come back

:18:44.:18:57.

here taking the Forth game 11-3. The Singaporean pair still games to one,

:18:58.:19:03.

but what a game that was from Drinkhall and Pitchford. They were

:19:04.:19:04.

on fire. When they get a good start, they

:19:05.:19:14.

start to move better and everything goes to a higher level.

:19:15.:19:25.

The roar from the crowd here, the action on the other table, the

:19:26.:19:32.

matches over there and the Singaporean number two seeds, Yang

:19:33.:19:38.

and Zhan have been defeated by the fourth seeds. Achanta and

:19:39.:19:43.

Arputharaj. So one semifinal decided. Now the

:19:44.:20:21.

focus here on taking the next one... Can the underdogs come through here

:20:22.:20:24.

in this remaining semifinal? Replicate the work of the Indian

:20:25.:20:31.

pair next door. It's not as if found really

:20:32.:20:46.

appreciate the brilliance of Singapore and love watching them.

:20:47.:20:49.

Nothing against them, but it's such an upset whenever they lose, because

:20:50.:20:58.

they had been so dominant. But this is the one event on the Commonwealth

:20:59.:21:02.

Games programme that Singapore have never won gold in. So it comes down

:21:03.:21:08.

to Gao and Li. A tremendous return. Great credit.

:21:09.:21:40.

England call a time-out. I think Alan Cooke has no option whatsoever.

:21:41.:21:53.

Li uses that modern-day technique return of serve. It is the very

:21:54.:21:59.

support rest, full round vertical. It has come into table tennis within

:22:00.:22:10.

the last decade. When Li, who was playing that down the parallel, down

:22:11.:22:11.

the line, playing that down the parallel, down

:22:12.:22:18.

The Tiger strikes. You didn't know I the diagonal.

:22:19.:22:32.

The Tiger strikes. You didn't know I was fluent in Chinese, did you?

:22:33.:22:53.

Wonderful atmosphere here at Scotstoun.

:22:54.:23:02.

Same again. All of the doubles are best-of-5 games, so Singapore

:23:03.:23:16.

closing in on victory here. Two points in a row have gone to

:23:17.:23:22.

Singapore with the league who return of service down the parallel. -- the

:23:23.:23:26.

Li return of service. You just feel the extra resolve down

:23:27.:23:38.

the Singapore end of the table. I think, three or four macro minutes

:23:39.:24:13.

to go, England lived in hope but now Singapore, the rugby sufficient. --

:24:14.:24:20.

thoroughly efficient. They are closing the door. Playing down the

:24:21.:24:26.

line, down the parallel, has proved a telling efforts. Paul Drinkhall is

:24:27.:24:32.

somewhat wrong-footed and that is the last three points from the

:24:33.:24:34.

return of serve, using that technique.

:24:35.:24:56.

Every point they win, Drinkhall and Pitchford getting huge encouragement

:24:57.:25:03.

from the crowd here. That is brilliant. Giving them no

:25:04.:25:41.

quarter, no chance there. Got an answer to everything. Gao Ning and

:25:42.:25:52.

Li Hu two points from a place in the final.

:25:53.:26:04.

The pressure, the placement... I have been brilliant I had here, the

:26:05.:26:15.

top seeds. -- they have been brilliant out here, the top seeds.

:26:16.:26:35.

May be too late but that was a tremendous return of serve from Liam

:26:36.:26:38.

Pitchford. What is it about the Number Ten?

:26:39.:26:55.

It's hard to get across that line. For the men from Singapore.

:26:56.:27:08.

Well setup and well finished off by Liam Pitchford. Can they come back

:27:09.:27:15.

here? This is quite remarkable. There are

:27:16.:27:51.

no time-outs left. Four match point saved.

:27:52.:28:12.

Oh, but it's all over. Finally victory for Gao Ning and Li Hu, the

:28:13.:28:24.

top seeds. They played a brilliant game out there to take the

:28:25.:28:28.

semifinal, go through to the final. They will play off for the gold

:28:29.:28:34.

medal. There you just saw the President of the Singapore tennis

:28:35.:28:40.

Association. -- Singapore Table Tennis Association.

:28:41.:28:43.

Association. -- Singapore Table Tennis Association.

:28:44.:28:46.

So great performers therefrom Gao Ning and Li Hu, coming through 3-1

:28:47.:29:04.

to the Men's Doubles finals. If table tennis is one of the many

:29:05.:29:15.

sports on offer here, it has inspired you to take up a new

:29:16.:29:20.

hobby. Have a look at our Get Inspired website. You will find

:29:21.:29:22.

information on local clubs. Time now for some more table

:29:23.:29:36.

tennis, this time in the Mixed Doubles. Once again a place in the

:29:37.:29:42.

gold medal match at stake. We saw Liam Pitchford he was in action a

:29:43.:29:45.

bit earlier with the Men's Doubles. He is in the Mixed Doubles this

:29:46.:29:49.

time, with his partner, the fabulously young and talented

:29:50.:29:55.

tinting hope as England went up against Yang and Zhan of Singapore.

:29:56.:30:26.

after it. People have to make something happen out here. -- he

:30:27.:30:29.

will have to make. If you consider Tin Tin Ho's

:30:30.:30:45.

service, it is quite unique. It is a serving technique we saw with

:30:46.:30:52.

Japanese players in the 1980s, but she has extolled it to perfection.

:30:53.:30:58.

The benefit is it is a different shot for opponents to look at. Only

:30:59.:31:09.

a young Chinese boy from Chinese Taipei has served like that. He was

:31:10.:31:14.

a silver medallist in the youth Olympic Games.

:31:15.:31:19.

The reason for using the technique is that she can control the ball

:31:20.:31:24.

better to keep the service short. They will keep the pressure on, the

:31:25.:32:04.

Singapore pair. You saw the technique for the return of service.

:32:05.:32:08.

The risk is extremely flexible to make the return. -- the wrist.

:32:09.:32:16.

And there we saw it again. That is an advantage, the flexibility near

:32:17.:32:22.

the net. And a brilliant rally. The English

:32:23.:32:55.

pair coming out on top. The composure the 15-year-old shows is

:32:56.:33:02.

incredible. She has impressed her team-mates, as well, since the

:33:03.:33:07.

nerves abate when she focuses on the match at how she will win the point.

:33:08.:33:19.

She is more excited and motivated by this than nervous. She said that

:33:20.:33:25.

yesterday, I am not nervous, I am excited. Liam Pitchford said it is

:33:26.:33:32.

remarkable how in this big theatres she has responded. Quite remarkable.

:33:33.:33:53.

That was a super shot from Feng. Devastating attack from the

:33:54.:33:56.

Singaporeans. Getting forward over the table.

:33:57.:34:10.

It is an outstanding return of service from Tin-Tin Ho. You have to

:34:11.:34:18.

take your hat off to that young lady.

:34:19.:34:25.

To gain points now for the Singaporeans.

:34:26.:34:46.

Once saved, but another opportunity for Singapore to take the opening

:34:47.:34:49.

game. What a point. Tin-Tin Ho Held her

:34:50.:34:57.

nerve. I am surprised that he served with

:34:58.:35:31.

the forehand. I am sure in singles he serves with the backhand. That is

:35:32.:35:41.

it. The opening game going to Liam Pitchford and Tin-Tin Ho. Super play

:35:42.:35:47.

for the team from England. What a start.

:35:48.:36:39.

The way the English pair are playing out here reflects the confidence in

:36:40.:36:46.

the English camp. I think they all have belief they can win these sorts

:36:47.:36:53.

of matches. They excel in the nuances of table tennis, such as the

:36:54.:37:00.

short received. The angles. -- receive. And mentally the feeling

:37:01.:37:07.

you belong out here against the Singaporean players, who are so much

:37:08.:37:16.

higher ranked. Sport is won and lost in the mind. Easier said than done,

:37:17.:37:29.

but once Feng Tianwei, she plays a forehand in the rally, she can be

:37:30.:37:36.

dynamic. Having said that, she puts it in the base of the net. Thank

:37:37.:37:38.

you! It always happens. Bearing in mind, it is a busy day

:37:39.:37:59.

for them. She is playing women's doubles, mixed doubles, women's

:38:00.:38:05.

singles. One match after another. It is not easy to keep focus. She

:38:06.:38:12.

played five matches yesterday. She said she was quite tired and she

:38:13.:38:14.

would recover for today. This is an interesting stage of the

:38:15.:39:14.

match. Getting towards the business end of this second game. And a

:39:15.:39:24.

couple of errors being forced. Good, aggressive play from the English

:39:25.:39:25.

pair. Feng Tianwei, very surprisingly.

:39:26.:39:49.

With so many Feng Tianwei, very surprisingly.

:39:50.:39:52.

With so matches in one day it could be that the concentration is not

:39:53.:39:53.

there. That was good play. And the luck favoured Liam

:39:54.:40:03.

Pitchford. Superstar from Liam Pitchford. --

:40:04.:41:39.

super stuff. Coming up with just what was required.

:41:40.:42:03.

There was a player from El Salvador who described mixed doubles as a

:42:04.:42:30.

marriage and the man has to take care of his wife! The potential for

:42:31.:42:36.

divorce on the mixed doubles! That was a great return. Superb from

:42:37.:42:52.

Liam Pitchford and the Singaporeans reacted. We have a married couple

:42:53.:43:01.

playing in the other semifinal, Paul Drinkhall and his wife Joanna.

:43:02.:43:16.

High-intensity exchange and the English pair coming out on top. Very

:43:17.:44:21.

rightly, the coach on his feet to call a time-out. You cannot leave it

:44:22.:44:23.

any longer. The Singaporeans have accelerated a

:44:24.:44:37.

little bit. That was a tremendous return of

:44:38.:45:02.

serve. Taking a leaf out of the book of Tin-Tin Ho.

:45:03.:45:11.

What a point. In rallies, I think you have to back the Singaporeans.

:45:12.:45:23.

The English pair must be looking to bring the point quickly.

:45:24.:45:25.

Singaporeans try to play the rallies.

:45:26.:45:38.

A good controlled topspin. Liam Pitchford did not panic. In

:45:39.:45:55.

Hesitation from the ten way. -- from Feng Tianwei.

:45:56.:46:29.

They've fought back to level at 9-9. Every time they step out on the

:46:30.:46:38.

cord, then expected to win. And they usually deliver. They've got their

:46:39.:46:43.

backs against the wall here. Three consecutive points going to

:46:44.:46:54.

Feng Tianwei. I think that was correct. I know

:46:55.:47:39.

he'd missed that I think he was correct. -- I know he missed but I

:47:40.:47:44.

think it was correct. Bit of extra pace on that shot from

:47:45.:48:14.

Zhan Jian. This time the top seeds take it. A

:48:15.:48:40.

torrid battle just sneaking out of that game, staying in the match.

:48:41.:48:48.

Tin-Tin Ho and Liam Pitchford still leading two games to one game.

:48:49.:49:27.

This Singapore contingent sitting somewhat nervously.

:49:28.:51:01.

We have seen less mistakes coming from the Singaporeans here than in

:51:02.:51:11.

the first, say, game and a half. Feng Tianwei looks more focused.

:51:12.:51:46.

is from the backhand and he has to be very strong on that first

:51:47.:51:47.

attack. Fortune favours the brave and he

:51:48.:52:31.

went after that backhand. You can't be passing out here. Super plate

:52:32.:52:33.

from Pitchford. Clever return from Zan GM. -- Zhan

:52:34.:52:44.

Jian. Feng Tianwei has certainly lifted

:52:45.:53:25.

her game. This is more like what we are accustomed to seeing from her.

:53:26.:53:35.

And Feng Tianwei and Zhan Jian are 11-6.

:53:36.:54:10.

Terrific return to start this decider. Tin-Tin Ho.

:54:11.:54:29.

And with plenty of spark out there. Pitchford and Ho.

:54:30.:54:44.

They know they have to play at the top of their games. Maybe better

:54:45.:54:50.

than they've ever played before, to beat this pair.

:54:51.:55:08.

Remember, England still have the one time had up their sleeve. --

:55:09.:55:15.

time-out. That is absolutely out the top of

:55:16.:55:28.

the top drawer. What a tremendous return. Look at the wrist. That is

:55:29.:55:32.

quality, Mr Pitchford. And they keep the momentum. 5-1 in

:55:33.:55:45.

the deciding game. 15-year-old Tin-Tin Ho, 21-year old

:55:46.:55:55.

Liam Pitchford. Remember, now, the order has now

:55:56.:56:13.

changed. Well, this is just marvellous play

:56:14.:57:11.

from the English pair. Taking control of the point. Finishing it

:57:12.:57:16.

off calmly. I wonder if they will be able to stay calm. One thing to get

:57:17.:57:24.

the lead in the decider, but another to close it out.

:57:25.:57:59.

Brilliant stuff from Pitchford! Stand and deliver. He got himself

:58:00.:58:07.

set and whipped the winner. I think Alan Cooke will soon be on

:58:08.:58:52.

his feet. Right now, in fact, calling the time-out. Quite right,

:58:53.:58:57.

don't let the Singaporean pet build up momentum. That is quite a good

:58:58.:59:02.

call in my opinion. He knows he is on the brink of his team causing the

:59:03.:59:06.

mother of all upsets. Now, the question is, can the Singaporeans

:59:07.:59:14.

bring mind, body and soul together and recover? Make no mistake, this

:59:15.:59:16.

match isn't over. Match point. Pitchford and Ho.

:59:17.:59:35.

They've got five of them. What the moment the despair! -- what

:59:36.:00:15.

the moment for this pair. A stunning moment and a massive upset. The

:00:16.:00:20.

15-year-old Tin-Tin Ho alongside Liam Pitchford, she bounces over for

:00:21.:00:26.

the celebratory hug with Alan Cooke. They played out of their skins.

:00:27.:00:41.

All-England final facing Paul Drinkhall and Joanna Drinkhall. The

:00:42.:00:49.

sport has been dominated by Singapore in Beeston Commonwealth

:00:50.:00:55.

Games. Now they are preparing for a dramatic evening of diving action.

:00:56.:01:03.

Over to Edinburgh. A third consecutive night of dramatic diving

:01:04.:01:06.

and tonight the finals of the women's one metre diving. Our

:01:07.:01:18.

commentators presenting by the swimming pool, Helen Skelton and

:01:19.:01:20.

Lyon. It has been an exciting day we have

:01:21.:01:31.

had a golden bronze medal. How impressed were you? There was a

:01:32.:01:43.

gold-medal third Jack Laugher and the Chris Mears.

:01:44.:01:54.

Nick Robinson Baker, opposite ends of experience. Jack and Chris seemed

:01:55.:01:59.

to be exciting prospects. They have had success this year. They have

:02:00.:02:03.

been standing on the podium all year this year and at great end to their

:02:04.:02:08.

season, a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games. There is

:02:09.:02:14.

cheering, not the Chris and Jack, they are cheering for the ladies in

:02:15.:02:19.

the one metre springboard final. We have everybody from team England.

:02:20.:02:30.

The only female diver for Scotland, her dad said he cannot wait to be

:02:31.:02:36.

out there. The crowd lifted her this morning. As did James Heatly. That

:02:37.:02:43.

was in the previous two days of the diving competition. Team Scotland

:02:44.:02:48.

are going for it. The roof is ripped off when they step on the diving

:02:49.:02:54.

board. Tom Daley is going to be diving later. I asked kids earlier

:02:55.:02:58.

if they were here to see Tom and they said no. They were here to see

:02:59.:03:04.

the Scottish divers. That is a picture. A gold-medal, what a

:03:05.:03:11.

classic. They did fantastically well. A gold medal in the bag and

:03:12.:03:19.

bound to be on cloud nine. Heather has been watching. Would she have

:03:20.:03:23.

gained confidence from the success of the rest of the team? There are

:03:24.:03:29.

so many medals already, you have to keep the motivation going. We are

:03:30.:03:34.

about to get under way for the one metre springboard. You are fine to

:03:35.:03:45.

go. Go and join Bob. The crowd are excited at this. That is because we

:03:46.:03:53.

have three English girls. And we have Scotland's Grace Reid, the only

:03:54.:03:59.

girl in team Scotland, but she has a fantastic Fanclub, Bob.

:04:00.:04:16.

We have a mixture of Commonwealth interest including the Australians

:04:17.:04:23.

and relations as well. There are two strong Australians. And one very

:04:24.:04:28.

strong Canadian. How many times this week have we seen the preliminary

:04:29.:04:32.

strong Canadian. How many times this heats not replicated in the

:04:33.:04:35.

evening? It happened last night with Jack Laugher. Could not quite back

:04:36.:04:44.

it up in the final, which can sometimes happen. A lot of dropped

:04:45.:04:49.

lives by the English contingent this morning and they will look to

:04:50.:04:54.

lives by the English contingent this improve on that. I am intrigued to

:04:55.:05:02.

see what can be done to night. She could not convince out of the park.

:05:03.:05:09.

It has been said there might be an Australian 1-2-3. The one to watch

:05:10.:05:16.

in number ten, is she is completely in a different league when it comes

:05:17.:05:21.

to degree of difficulty. We will talk it through as she gets closer.

:05:22.:05:28.

She is a cut above when it comes to the degree of difficulty. Let's see

:05:29.:05:29.

how the risk plays out. At the Australian trials she hit

:05:30.:05:45.

almost 350. We can see how it pans out there will be 12 divers. They go

:05:46.:05:50.

in reverse order from how they finish this morning. That was nice.

:05:51.:06:07.

A tidy opening dive. 1.5 somersaults in the pike position. Many of the

:06:08.:06:11.

girls opt for this in the first round. Nine out of the 12 opening

:06:12.:06:18.

with this. Turning backwards and spinning forwards. I think that is

:06:19.:06:30.

pretty good. The marks with line through them will not count to the

:06:31.:06:44.

total score. Alicia Black did not quite get off to the start she

:06:45.:06:56.

wanted. Exactly the same dive again. That was a good start. Moving away

:06:57.:07:00.

from the diving board a fraction. A beautiful shape. She will only get

:07:01.:07:12.

sevens, may be slightly less. Some work to do already. That is compared

:07:13.:07:21.

to 54 this morning and so slightly down on the start. Now the

:07:22.:07:37.

Australian. She is 15 years of age, the youngest member of the

:07:38.:07:43.

Australian team. 1.5 somersaults with pike. It was a beautiful dive.

:07:44.:07:54.

The ripped entry into the water. Hardly any splash. Great elevation.

:07:55.:08:01.

Tow point into the water and that should get eights or above. That was

:08:02.:08:13.

a great opening round. Eights very good in this situation. And now the

:08:14.:08:22.

Canadian. One of the judges is the mother of her best friend.

:08:23.:08:35.

Most of the competitors getting their programme under way with this

:08:36.:08:41.

dive. That was better than this morning. She looked rough around the

:08:42.:08:49.

edges this morning. Not quite entering the water as smoothly as

:08:50.:08:52.

she did here. Beautiful elevation will stop straight up and down. We

:08:53.:09:03.

can see how generous the judges are feeling. That is the same mark this

:09:04.:09:04.

morning. 54. Now you will see this every time.

:09:05.:09:19.

Big smile, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle. And then she

:09:20.:09:23.

puts on her game head and the smile disappears. Studied concentration.

:09:24.:09:35.

That is better than this morning. 2.2 degrees of difficulty. The girls

:09:36.:09:41.

have to do different dives each time and this is the twist, the first we

:09:42.:09:47.

have seen. 1.5 somersaults. She will try to get eight, which would be

:09:48.:09:57.

good. Not too shabby at all. Hello, Hannah Starling, welcome to the

:09:58.:10:04.

competition. And now the cheering. The raucous crowd in Edinburgh

:10:05.:10:08.

greeting their one and only daughter for this event. Grace Reid. You will

:10:09.:10:18.

know what to expect because you have seen it before. We will see

:10:19.:10:23.

somewhere in the mid-50s for her inward one and a half somersaults

:10:24.:10:28.

with pike. That was a fabulous start. This is her second

:10:29.:10:34.

Commonwealth Games. She was 14 when she attended Delhi. Able you to. And

:10:35.:10:50.

a safe distance from the board. -- a beautiful start. 54 is pretty much

:10:51.:10:57.

on the button. A decent start. beautiful start. 54 is pretty much

:10:58.:11:04.

on the button. Already with the medal to her name.

:11:05.:11:16.

2.4, in which 1.5 somersaults. That was nice from Rebecca with good

:11:17.:11:27.

balance. Rocking from the ankles to start to move the board. Swinging

:11:28.:11:32.

the arms, going forward, as if you are throwing a football. The entry

:11:33.:11:38.

was superb. It should get eights and if it does, she will go top of the

:11:39.:11:39.

leaderboard. I spoke to her coach at lunch time

:11:40.:12:21.

and asked about her. He said they had not been training it. This is

:12:22.:12:26.

the first time she has done one metres. She is the defending

:12:27.:12:31.

champion. She is exceptional on the three metres, which is where have

:12:32.:12:35.

focuses. The one metre is a bit of fun. She has matched Rebecca with

:12:36.:12:45.

her dive. Joint leaders at the moment as we head towards the end of

:12:46.:12:47.

the first round. I really like her style of diving.

:12:48.:13:15.

It is aesthetically pleasing. Beautiful minds. Heavily strapped

:13:16.:13:22.

ankle, which is not uncommon in diving. Your ankles get a pasting at

:13:23.:13:38.

all times. That was good. Very good. As good as the leaders. This is the

:13:39.:13:43.

goal to watch. Not with this dive, which is rudimentary compared to the

:13:44.:13:50.

one she is going to do. She is just going to turn up the switch after

:13:51.:13:51.

this. Go up to the threes shortly. You can see from take-off how much

:13:52.:14:07.

power this young 18-year-old house. Swinging her arms and jumping up.

:14:08.:14:12.

You can see how high she goes. A little bit of a splash as she goes

:14:13.:14:17.

in, say she has left herself work to do. That she has some chunky dives

:14:18.:14:22.

coming. Big degree of difficulty with a high risk and the high reward

:14:23.:14:27.

if you get them right. If she is to win the gold medal, she will have to

:14:28.:14:33.

come from last to first. She is last at the moment. Two more to go.

:14:34.:14:48.

She will go with the dive favoured by most of the divers, the inward

:14:49.:14:56.

1.5. Moving away from the diving board a little bit too much. Brings

:14:57.:15:01.

her hips back a little bit too early. Did not get as much height.

:15:02.:15:09.

She will get eights. That will put her near the top of the leaderboard.

:15:10.:15:15.

Some of the 2.4s scoring around this. Four divers altogether.

:15:16.:15:49.

with pike. She has just thrown up a little bit too much splash for me.

:15:50.:15:56.

Relatively straightforward dive. You don't have a hurdle

:15:57.:16:02.

Relatively straightforward dive. You with. Standing start, so one and a

:16:03.:16:07.

half in the pike position. Not quite at the top of the leaderboard, but

:16:08.:16:14.

pretty close. It is all rather bunched up after round one. Hard to

:16:15.:16:18.

separate this one out. We can't at the moment. Canadian, English diver,

:16:19.:16:27.

Malaysia, another Canadian in the top grouping. Then we have five and

:16:28.:16:32.

then we have four divers in sixth place. I did not expect Stalin,

:16:33.:16:49.

Blagg and Keeney to stay at the bottom for long. -- starling.

:16:50.:17:05.

Finishing a little close to the water. Not having enough room to

:17:06.:17:11.

complete the dive efficiently enough to get probably five or 5.5.

:17:12.:17:26.

It wasn't how we discussed it earlier on, Mr Coach, what it?

:17:27.:17:46.

The white wheel on the diving board is for adjusting the flexibility.

:17:47.:17:54.

That was the dive that she made a mess of earlier on in the

:17:55.:17:58.

preliminaries. She over rotated in the morning. That was an under

:17:59.:18:06.

rotation. She has played it safe and I think that was too much, the final

:18:07.:18:15.

push for the podium over for her. Yes. Not at all pleased with that,

:18:16.:18:21.

for understandable reasons. The rule of thumb is if you are under six,

:18:22.:18:29.

you are saying you are pushing for a medal and not doing the dive as well

:18:30.:18:31.

as you would like. She hand, 15 years of age last

:18:32.:18:48.

month. Going with a reverse one and a half somersault is. She doesn't

:18:49.:18:54.

land on the end of the diving board, so she has to skip forward a little

:18:55.:18:59.

bit with her knees and she arches quite heavily through her back to

:19:00.:19:06.

dive in. She managed to avert missing the dive. The scores with no

:19:07.:19:14.

lines through them at the bottom of the screen will count.

:19:15.:19:22.

And the freezing could have represented the USA as her mother is

:19:23.:19:25.

American. -- Friesen. While, that is a good dive as well.

:19:26.:19:46.

Very precise. Two and a half somersault in the pike position.

:19:47.:19:49.

Squeezing into the pike said the chest is flat on the thighs. She

:19:50.:19:55.

manages to punch a hole in the water with her hands as she goes through.

:19:56.:20:00.

Doesn't quite stretch out enough, so the marks reflect that. Seven is

:20:01.:20:06.

OK, certainly compared to a couple of guys we've seen recently. Emma

:20:07.:20:12.

Friesen just moves in front of the rest.

:20:13.:20:28.

Forward two and a half somersault with pike. She had a bit of work to

:20:29.:20:36.

do. A bit off the pace after her first round dive. Beautiful board

:20:37.:20:46.

timing. Just a bit of splash. Washing over vertical cutout. -- a

:20:47.:20:57.

little bit. 7.5 across the board. That brings a smile back to her

:20:58.:21:04.

face. Still a novice, don't really understand diving?

:21:05.:21:24.

That was the same dive produced by Scotland's Grace Reid. She landed

:21:25.:21:34.

with her toes just over the edge of the diving board. She waited

:21:35.:21:39.

patiently for the board to recoil and throw her up into the air.

:21:40.:21:44.

Controls that beautifully. She would have been in also of trouble on that

:21:45.:21:49.

take-off. Sevens it is the Grace Reid again.

:21:50.:22:16.

Back one and a half somersault with Tuck. She has just let the dive

:22:17.:22:27.

flick over as she enters the water. Same mistake she often produces on

:22:28.:22:32.

this dive, just tips over with her feet. She did a great job in the

:22:33.:22:39.

women's three metre synchro to win gold. That is going to be slightly

:22:40.:22:44.

costly. Sixes will move her off the pace.

:22:45.:23:06.

Back one and a half somersault is for the defending champion. I think

:23:07.:23:13.

she has something to say about that. That is much, much better. This is

:23:14.:23:21.

her lowest degree of difficulty. You see the height she gained from the

:23:22.:23:31.

diving board. Into the lead she goes. Just out of Hannah Starling

:23:32.:23:38.

with Emma Friesen and Grace Reid enjoying third right now. We have

:23:39.:23:43.

another four divers to go. Here is our current joint leader.

:23:44.:23:54.

The forward two and a half. Two and a half. 2.6 once again. She had a

:23:55.:24:02.

little bit of knee trouble there. She wasn't quite on the end of the

:24:03.:24:07.

diving board. She trembled. She managed to get the height she

:24:08.:24:11.

needed. That was nearly a full buckle, which would have been

:24:12.:24:13.

unfortunate. Her toes were over the edge. She was

:24:14.:24:46.

hanging ten. That Her toes were over the edge. She was

:24:47.:24:54.

difficult. The easier option is the reverse one and a half. This is

:24:55.:25:00.

3.0. She does so well on this. It's a gamble. It hasn't quite paid off

:25:01.:25:05.

fully but it hasn't taken it the other way, so she's still in the

:25:06.:25:13.

mix. 57 is good enough. We have a real bunch situation here at the

:25:14.:25:17.

moment. The top six are separated by eight points. There will be a few

:25:18.:25:20.

more joining that club very shortly. That's good from Palm. Over rotated

:25:21.:25:42.

as she went in. Looking for the vertical splash. There wasn't much

:25:43.:25:49.

splash, but there was a definite over rotation. Sevens, probably.

:25:50.:25:57.

Could have quite easily been eight and 8.5s because that was a great

:25:58.:25:59.

take-off. The 23-year-old formerly from China.

:26:00.:26:15.

She moved to Sydney in 2009 and has become asked radiant citizen.

:26:16.:26:22.

-- and has become an Australian citizen. She was the top qualifier

:26:23.:26:29.

this morning. She is very consistent.

:26:30.:26:40.

Beautiful dive, 2.6 degrees of difficulty. We did say it was a

:26:41.:26:50.

wide-open competition. Certainly not one you would want to lay any money

:26:51.:26:57.

on. That is the way it looks after round two. Three to go. Esther Qin

:26:58.:27:08.

just ahead. Hannah Starling looking OK. Maybe in a position to pounce.

:27:09.:27:16.

At the bottom of the pile at the moment are the two English divers

:27:17.:27:22.

gallantry and Blagg. That is a gap that they can make up. No one is

:27:23.:27:28.

really cast adrift yet. There is Alex Salmond in the audience.

:27:29.:27:54.

A back one and a half somersault with pike. 2.3. You can see the

:27:55.:28:06.

difference in the fight. -- in the height. Nowhere near some of her

:28:07.:28:11.

fellow competitors. Quite tidy. She was happy with the last dive,

:28:12.:28:22.

not quite so happy with that one. There you go, that is an example of

:28:23.:28:51.

what this young lady can do. She's only 17, she already has a

:28:52.:28:54.

Commonwealth gold medal in the bag from day one of the diving. This

:28:55.:29:01.

should get eights. It is best dive of the day. Time to start moving up

:29:02.:29:08.

the leaderboard. She was at the bottom, and she won't be after that.

:29:09.:29:15.

Only three divers are doing three and above, by the way. They are

:29:16.:29:20.

nearly all in the two range, 2-macro-low or 2-macro- made.

:29:21.:29:46.

is, one and half twists. A good job. Her steps a little inconsistent, so

:29:47.:29:50.

she isn't on the end of the diving board. Little bit of a wobble on the

:29:51.:29:56.

twist. Not sure she had squared it up efficiently enough. Her toes

:29:57.:30:02.

crossed over each other like a swimmer would with their hands in a

:30:03.:30:07.

streamlined position. The rookie doing OK in first place for the time

:30:08.:30:10.

being. faltering on the entry. -- for her.

:30:11.:30:41.

She remains in a pike position. Just a little too long. And over she

:30:42.:30:43.

goes. You can now mark off a few of the

:30:44.:30:58.

divers in terms of medal potential and prospects. I think she is one

:30:59.:31:05.

who will not be there at the end unless she can get something rapidly

:31:06.:31:09.

going on. Hannah Starling, she relishes this atmosphere. So she

:31:10.:31:19.

showed in London 2012, she is doing in Edinburgh.

:31:20.:31:26.

That was good. It needed to be. This is her lowest degree of difficulty.

:31:27.:31:36.

It depends where you use it in your list. I think she will get 7.5s,

:31:37.:31:43.

which would be great, because it would keep her at the business end

:31:44.:31:46.

of the field, which is where she needs to be to strike for a medal.

:31:47.:31:54.

You will know from the noise, she has gone up a notch or two. Grace

:31:55.:32:04.

Reid is about to perform her third-round dive. Currently fifth.

:32:05.:32:19.

Fabulous dive. This was not particularly good this morning. It

:32:20.:32:24.

is her most complicated, 2.6 degrees of difficulty. It was neat and tidy.

:32:25.:32:32.

If she gets over sevens, she will be super pleased. Great work. Somebody

:32:33.:32:39.

should take a snap of that. She is in the lead at the moment. Rebecca

:32:40.:32:55.

Gallantree. This is her big dive in terms of degree of difficulty. A

:32:56.:33:02.

reverse to do half somersault. If she gets this right, she will

:33:03.:33:07.

project herself up the leaderboard. It went wrong, take-off. The dive is

:33:08.:33:13.

complicated and high risk. You need a good take-off. Almost ten

:33:14.:33:20.

centimetres back, sacrificing height to get safely away from the diving

:33:21.:33:25.

board. She still did very well. That could have been a shorter vertical.

:33:26.:33:35.

Probably gets 5.5s. It was a jaunty angle on that. This is her trump

:33:36.:33:42.

card if she gets it right, but not on this occasion.

:33:43.:33:50.

Just almost, almost there. She was trying to pike saver. The entry is

:33:51.:34:01.

going a little bit over and she tries to roll, rolling very quickly

:34:02.:34:07.

to give the impression that she was not going over a vertical, but the

:34:08.:34:13.

judges noticed. That is why they marked her down. I did say it would

:34:14.:34:18.

be hard for her to defend her title, with the way others are

:34:19.:34:26.

looking today. But she has edged in front, only marginally so. This is

:34:27.:34:32.

another one who has chosen round three for her difficult dive. She

:34:33.:34:49.

faltered on the take-off on the last dive and this time she left it a

:34:50.:34:53.

little short on vertical. It looks OK. Not quite completing the dive.

:34:54.:35:05.

That is only 2.3 degrees of difficulty. Just a little pointer on

:35:06.:35:14.

this coming up from Maddison Keeney. This is the dive she fears most, the

:35:15.:35:19.

one she has most problems with. And this could possibly derail her

:35:20.:35:24.

chances of a gold medal. She had problems this morning. And also in

:35:25.:35:30.

competition over the past couple of years. Let's see how it goes this

:35:31.:35:31.

time. That is the gauntlet. If you have a

:35:32.:35:44.

bogey dive and you get it right, it is a boost. This is her highest

:35:45.:35:51.

degree of difficulty. 3.1. She was a little bit tight to the diving

:35:52.:35:55.

board, but she nailed it. This will prove to be critical. What a dive.

:35:56.:36:04.

On that tariff, it takes her rocketing up the standings into

:36:05.:36:12.

first place. The gauntlet is ready to be either snatched by somebody,

:36:13.:36:13.

or taken away. This is only 2.3 in terms of

:36:14.:36:29.

difficulty, so there will be a disparity. No. Feeling the pressure.

:36:30.:36:38.

Shaking her head as soon as she comes up. She knows potentially the

:36:39.:36:44.

medal chances blame. It was a costly error -- potentially, her medal

:36:45.:37:01.

chance is blown. Only picking up 29.9, the lowest return so far. The

:37:02.:37:09.

smiling assassin! Esther Qin, going, thank you very much. She is in a

:37:10.:37:17.

good position to launch herself forward. Number one at the moment.

:37:18.:37:26.

It is interesting what pressure does. It is good, but it is not

:37:27.:37:33.

particularly excellent, which is what it needed to be. Short

:37:34.:37:38.

vertical, not wanting to do what Pam Ware did, surfing over. She stopped

:37:39.:37:45.

the dive spinning too early and ended up short. We have a change of

:37:46.:37:54.

the leaderboard. The pack has been shuffled. Esther -- Esther Qin, she

:37:55.:38:08.

has dropped. Maddison Keeney, at the top. We told you to watch out for

:38:09.:38:13.

her. If we could freeze time, Grace Reid would have a bronze medal.

:38:14.:38:22.

Three Australians in the top six. There have been rumours it could be

:38:23.:38:24.

top three. Two more rounds to go of the one

:38:25.:38:43.

metre springboard. 12 points separating places one and five at

:38:44.:38:44.

the moment. She went for the reverse one and a

:38:45.:38:55.

half of the tuck position, the lowest degree of difficulty at 2.1.

:38:56.:39:00.

Because of the take-off with the toes over the end, she does not make

:39:01.:39:06.

it. Arching her back, moving to the side of the diving board. The judges

:39:07.:39:11.

do not see the replay, that is just for us. The judges are required to

:39:12.:39:18.

input the marks as soon as the diver hits the water.

:39:19.:39:24.

Alicia Blagg. Not making the headway we would like to see from her. That

:39:25.:39:31.

could change. That was another excellent dive.

:39:32.:39:48.

What a shame she has taken a couple of dives to get into it. The third

:39:49.:39:54.

and fourth have been up there in the eights. That is very good diving.

:39:55.:40:01.

Has she left herself too much to do? I think maybe. That look means,

:40:02.:40:13.

why did I not do that before? Suddenly I am diving well. She left

:40:14.:40:19.

it a little bit too late to challenge for medals. That is not

:40:20.:40:24.

this young lady, the youngest competitor at the age of 15, she has

:40:25.:40:27.

just turned 15. She has a particular skill for being

:40:28.:40:39.

able to complete the dive is very well from dodgy take-offs. Way back

:40:40.:40:46.

from the end of the diving board and manages to stay calm and complete

:40:47.:40:50.

the dive very well. It will not score eights, which is what she

:40:51.:40:53.

would have been looking forward to make a move on the top six, where

:40:54.:40:58.

she is on the previous round, into the lead. Emma Friesen has a motto -

:40:59.:41:07.

there is always pressure, you have to be ready to open up to it and

:41:08.:41:12.

deal with it, you have to be a good loser. Ninth place at the moment.

:41:13.:41:24.

That was pretty average. It is ordinary. It needs to be more than

:41:25.:41:31.

that if you want to push for the medals. She has been consistent.

:41:32.:41:38.

Over rotated so I think she will get 6.5s. Maybe a seven. She got great

:41:39.:41:47.

height from the diving board. Does not break the 50 mark this time,

:41:48.:41:51.

which means she will not advance much, she might even slip back a

:41:52.:41:54.

place. A smile already on the face. Hannah Starling, in fifth place, so

:41:55.:42:17.

within distance of the top three. It was a terrific take-off. Just a

:42:18.:42:21.

fraction over rotated as she went in. That was almost 8.5s and nines,

:42:22.:42:30.

but will end up with 7.5s, which is still good and she will be in

:42:31.:42:38.

contention. It will be tight. Amazing what a little bit can make

:42:39.:42:42.

in terms of points. We could have been looking at eights. Those marks

:42:43.:42:53.

add up when you are talking about five points between first and second

:42:54.:42:58.

at the moment. Grace Reid, ready to perform. She has been eating and

:42:59.:43:09.

drinking of the atmosphere in the Edinburgh swimming pool. She

:43:10.:43:16.

continues to do so. She put everything in. Giving it some beans

:43:17.:43:27.

continues to do so. She put it. Almost identical to Hannah

:43:28.:43:32.

Starling, who did the same dive before her. She is flying high on

:43:33.:43:39.

home support. The crowd loves it and she loves it. She could be in and

:43:40.:43:47.

around the medals with that. Taking the lead for the time being. Rebecca

:43:48.:43:55.

Gallantree's 3.0 did not quite work. She has ground to make up.

:43:56.:44:03.

That will help. 2.6 degrees of difficulty. This is her chance to

:44:04.:44:15.

make up some ground. If it is short, she enters the water, needs

:44:16.:44:18.

to maintain the pike shape a fraction longer.

:44:19.:44:29.

Rebecca Gallantree already has the medals from the synchronised on the

:44:30.:44:37.

three meter board. She won in Delhi, can she win it in Edinburgh? She is

:44:38.:44:45.

such a competitor. She was all over the place this morning in the

:44:46.:44:50.

preliminaries. Even then, not quite landing on the end as she would need

:44:51.:44:55.

to. But she goes so high. She does not want to relinquish her title.

:44:56.:45:01.

The gold medal in Delhi and very much in the hunt for a podium finish

:45:02.:45:05.

here. Will it be the gold? We will wait and see. Willing and able to

:45:06.:45:09.

win for a second time around. Cheong Jun Hoong, she has looked

:45:10.:45:22.

impressive this week but not as impressive tonight. It was a

:45:23.:45:33.

beautiful dive. It was a great leg line and toe point. Just washing

:45:34.:45:38.

over as she entered the water. I think she might have left herself

:45:39.:45:42.

too much to do to challenge for the medals with one dive to go.

:45:43.:46:10.

She quit the 10m board after fracturing her wrist and she is a

:46:11.:46:17.

promising astrophysicist. That is a restart. What happens now? She will

:46:18.:46:25.

attempt the board again and there will be a 2-point deduction from

:46:26.:46:27.

each judge. Oh, she has done a marvellous job,

:46:28.:46:44.

because that take-off was not particularly great either. She had

:46:45.:46:49.

all her toes over the edge. Somehow, she manages to complete that dive.

:46:50.:46:52.

all her toes over the edge. Somehow, There will be a 2-point deduction,

:46:53.:46:57.

so when all the marks come up I will explain what happens. She might even

:46:58.:46:58.

get sevens. A sterling effort. explain what happens. She might even

:46:59.:47:13.

except. So the total is 42. -- etc, etc. Weldon.

:47:14.:47:46.

She nailed this this morning and she has pretty much done the same again.

:47:47.:47:53.

Just as she needed it. She was right at the bottom of the pack after a

:47:54.:47:56.

disastrous previous round dive. That will have a lot. She will move up to

:47:57.:48:02.

the middle of the pack but I think she may have left herself a little

:48:03.:48:05.

bit too much to do for a medal, but you -- but who knows? It was worth

:48:06.:48:14.

taking the risk. That's very good. Very good. Very

:48:15.:48:41.

neat, very tidy. Beautiful take-off. Up, up and away. Reaches for the

:48:42.:48:50.

water with her hands flat. She should get close to 60 points. If

:48:51.:48:54.

she does, she will be squeezing up into the top six. 61.20, Esther Qin

:48:55.:48:59.

for Australia. Now look at the scoreboard. Jennifer

:49:00.:49:14.

Abel, defending champion, in the lead. Grace Reid of Scotland in

:49:15.:49:22.

second. Then three Australians. But word of caution from Leon Taylor. We

:49:23.:49:27.

can get excited because Grace is in second position, however, she has a

:49:28.:49:32.

2.3 degrees of difficulty dive to finish. Everyone else has a mixed

:49:33.:49:38.

bag of 2.6, 2.5, 3.0. So it is tough.

:49:39.:50:05.

Better than this morning. I remember it was a real shambles this morning.

:50:06.:50:15.

That is upgraded. Swinging the arms, one and a half twists. Just to load

:50:16.:50:32.

to the water. It is a 2.5. -- 205. 205.75 is where she will finish,

:50:33.:50:36.

likely to be in a leather 12th place on the basis of that dive.

:50:37.:50:53.

Reverse one and a half somersault with one. A great dive. She's just

:50:54.:51:08.

so good at waiting, waiting. Maybe even close to 60 points, with degree

:51:09.:51:14.

of difficulty 2.6. Great dive to finish. She faltered early on in her

:51:15.:51:22.

programme. Well done. 58.5. But sad to say, she is in danger of possibly

:51:23.:51:26.

finishing bottom of the pile with that.

:51:27.:51:55.

Wow! It needed to be exceptional, and it was spectacular. What an

:51:56.:52:04.

absolute beauty. She'll get nines on this, and therefore, even though

:52:05.:52:08.

it's 2.4 degrees of difficulty, if she gets close to 60 points, this

:52:09.:52:12.

15-year-old from Australia could be on the podium. 8.5, 8.5 and eight. I

:52:13.:52:20.

think she already knows something special is about to happen to her.

:52:21.:52:26.

Providing nobody else really does something exceptional. It would have

:52:27.:52:29.

to be a lot of them to do it to unseat her from third place. It is

:52:30.:52:34.

possible she could get second place. Tidy dive from Emma. One and a half

:52:35.:53:01.

sub is all. One and a half twists. Then into a pike. About the same

:53:02.:53:13.

total school as she did get in the preliminary say she has been

:53:14.:53:14.

consistent all day. Right, Hannah Starling to usurp

:53:15.:53:30.

Georges Sheehan. She needs nines on this.

:53:31.:53:45.

Inward one and a half somersault is with pike. 2.5. It was a good

:53:46.:53:56.

effort, not good enough for nines. She over rotates, just shift her

:53:57.:54:00.

heels and moves her bottom back a little bit, moving back from the

:54:01.:54:03.

diving board, causing the overall rotation. I do not think that will

:54:04.:54:08.

be good enough for a medal. She will be close. Starling's day is done.

:54:09.:54:19.

Just talking to the coach about what went wrong, but nonetheless, still

:54:20.:54:21.

pleased with her performance. Oh, she has done a really good job.

:54:22.:54:53.

That will not get 8.5s. It is a good dive. She backed away from the

:54:54.:54:58.

diving board a little bit. She will probably only get sevens because she

just bent her knees a little bit too early as she went into the water.

:55:05.:55:09.

She will be close to the medals. I do not know if it will be good

enough. I am so proud of her. She will have a waiting game now. She

could have done with five or ten more marks but you cannot be

critical of that performance. Solid dive to finish from Rebecca.

She has been there or thereabouts today. She will probably finish

leaderboard. One and a half somersault is, one and a half

:56:49.:56:52.

difficult to see anyone overtaking her. Mathematically possible but the

:56:53.:57:03.

likes of Esther Qin and Keeney will have to dive out of their socks.

:57:04.:57:22.

A classic, classy take-off. Just varying her head a little bit as she

goes into the reply, and then flips over as she goes in, over rotation.

:57:31.:57:39.

Her medal hopes slipped away earlier in the programme.

:57:40.:57:45.

Now, is there one last twist? Well, there will be a twist. A couple of

:57:46.:57:51.

somersault as well. Oh, my goodness me! The dive of the

:57:52.:58:15.

competition, just when she needed it the most! And that means that she

:58:16.:58:21.

will be on the podium. This is a big dive! That's not good enough to

catch Abel, it might be good enough to put her into silver medal

Not going to get there with that. She just falters on the take-off,

to square out the dive, so she will not be in the medals. I think that

is good enough to take out Grace, who is unfortunately in fourth place

many mistakes. -- Ware. Only one diver events Abel from defending her

title, this Australian. It is a beautiful dive! Absolute

:59:42.:00:04.

beauty. It is not worth nines. It is not worth 8.5. Is it worth eights?

:00:05.:00:09.

That is what she needs to get on the podium. This is going to be

:00:10.:00:19.

super-tight. Oh, she does! She has won it by 0.5, the bronze medal.

speaking to him earlier. So, Canada take the gold.

:01:29.:01:45.

Congratulations to Canada. Commiserations to Grace Reid of

:01:54.:02:05.

moment. No medals for Scotland or England. Now we turn our attention

to a certain Mr Tom Daley. He is defending his title in about 20

:02:15.:02:20.

minutes time. He will be diving with a new partner. Stay with us to see

:02:21.:02:26.

how it goes. I suspect it will be pretty loud again.

:02:27.:02:33.

And you can see that live on Sunday on BBC One. Talk about perfect

symmetry. It is beautiful here on day nine. We are ending it here on

the jetty. Dan is here. Just when we thought the weather was turning. But

look at this, it is excellent. Have a little look down there. The

We've got factory boys and butchers' apprentices and office clerks

Don't stop moving! If you go back you'll die!
