:00:46. > :00:51.Hello and welcome back to the Commonwealth Games. These are the

:00:52. > :00:51.scenes from Ibrox where South Africa have just won

:00:52. > :00:56.scenes from Ibrox where South Africa have just a gold medal in the rugby

:00:57. > :01:01.sevens, inflicting the first defeat in Commonwealth Games history on a

:01:02. > :01:06.New Zealand side. I am not sure the South African players can believe it

:01:07. > :01:11.themselves. Don't forget sevens will be an Olympic event in two years in

:01:12. > :01:15.Rio for the first time. Over the next 20 minutes we will have

:01:16. > :01:21.weightlifting and a terrific boxing scrap between Scotland's Reece

:01:22. > :01:25.McFadden, who beat Welsh favourite Andrew Selby, and Charlie Edwards in

:01:26. > :01:30.the flyweight division. We start with a change of pace and lawn

:01:31. > :01:35.bowls, a pedestrian but precise affair. We have the women's single

:01:36. > :01:37.finals champion between the English defending champion Natalie Melmore

:01:38. > :01:49.and Jo Edwards. 20 years between these two players.

:01:50. > :01:53.Jo Edwards has been around for a long time but Natalie is relatively

:01:54. > :02:00.new on the scene. She made a massive impact when she won in Delhi. She

:02:01. > :02:09.has played that really well. I just wonder sometimes. A bad bowl because

:02:10. > :02:14.Natalie will be reaching this to give it a chance. With four down she

:02:15. > :02:19.will just be drawing, not attacking it. Certainly looks better but

:02:20. > :02:27.drifting off. I think this will be four shots to the Kiwi. Pool pork

:02:28. > :02:39.bowls for the defending champion. -- four poor bowls. She might get some

:02:40. > :02:46.luck. She has, goodness me. Not what she was trying for and that will be

:02:47. > :02:50.frustrating for Jo Edwards. Natalie Blake one lucky ball and she is off

:02:51. > :02:54.the mark. She is better than this. We have not seen her on any kind of

:02:55. > :03:09.form yet. She will move up the gears. Lovely bowls from Jo Edwards.

:03:10. > :03:18.She might run at this and try to get the jack into the open. She does

:03:19. > :03:24.have one in behind. Two shot down. Will she get the black ball for

:03:25. > :03:28.second? Yes, she has. Good result for Natalie to cut that to one.

:03:29. > :03:39.Don't think she could do much more with it.

:03:40. > :03:49.Much better line this time. Good second. Just a touch short on

:03:50. > :04:04.weight. It would have held up onto that Jack.

:04:05. > :04:12.That one had a bit of work to do. It made it, great second bowl from Jo

:04:13. > :04:27.Edwards. Natalie looking good. She does not

:04:28. > :04:45.want to open it up. That is better. Suddenly creeping up.

:04:46. > :04:58.Yes, number two. Remarkable how things can change in a match. It is

:04:59. > :05:04.not easy. Very narrow. She will be hoping for going between the two

:05:05. > :05:06.front bowls. That is the problem with a short bowl. It continues. Not

:05:07. > :05:31.over yet. Up enough. I thought it would stop a

:05:32. > :05:38.foot away but it is just six inches. The best two she has played in a

:05:39. > :05:48.while. Reaching with controlled weight and not going for her. It

:05:49. > :05:53.just stays out and out. Not a lot of room to win the match with this

:05:54. > :06:05.delivery. This is absolutely massive.

:06:06. > :06:14.She didn't push that. So far away she must have known it. 17-for it

:06:15. > :06:28.looked like it would be all over but here we are. -- 17-4-macro.

:06:29. > :06:36.Struggling. Not reaching. You can't score shots if you are not there.

:06:37. > :06:51.Always the chance of coming off the side ball if you are running a bit.

:06:52. > :07:00.That didn't run but I can understand her dropping a bit with that. Not a

:07:01. > :07:04.time to push the Kiwi bowl over. Big bowl to win the gold medal. Jo

:07:05. > :07:27.Edwards from New Zealand. That looked narrow. Not reaching.

:07:28. > :07:28.The weight was not too bad. Well, this game is getting very, very

:07:29. > :07:39.interesting now. She has been falling short on

:07:40. > :07:49.occasions, usually a sign that things are getting to her. That is a

:07:50. > :07:57.good bowl but we don't know if it is the shot and it is sitting wide of

:07:58. > :08:05.the jack. The marker has indicated one to read. The marker was very

:08:06. > :08:14.clear. Really good under pressure. This is what she does well.

:08:15. > :08:18.That one did not make it and she is going back to Jo

:08:19. > :08:21.That one did not make it and she is going back to Edwards to concede the

:08:22. > :08:27.match. Jo Edwards from New Zealand will take the gold. 21-15 against

:08:28. > :08:32.the defending champion, Natalie Melmore from England.

:08:33. > :08:38.Good stuff. As promised, time for boxing and a Scotland versus England

:08:39. > :08:46.battle in the men's flyweight division. Reece McFadden shocked

:08:47. > :09:06.Andrew Selby, of Wales, and today he was up against Charlie Edwards.

:09:07. > :09:29.trailing by two rounds to nil. -- Charlie Edwards. From Edwards that

:09:30. > :09:35.was lovely. Using the jab. Brought his opponent to a longer left hook.

:09:36. > :09:41.Good boxing. He probably needs more of that, does Edwards. He won his

:09:42. > :09:52.European bronze medal at the senior level. Reece McFadden was emulating

:09:53. > :09:58.that as a junior. Look at their heads, clashing at close quarters.

:09:59. > :09:59.It is rather scrappy on the inside. Oxus have to watch that. Neither

:10:00. > :10:15.wants to sustain a cut. And now the decibel level is

:10:16. > :10:24.beginning to rise. They are crying, Scotland, Scotland! There is an

:10:25. > :10:29.English contingent, as well. That was better from Edwards on the front

:10:30. > :10:35.foot. At the end of the first round, it dictates the tactics that the

:10:36. > :10:44.next two rounds. Reece McFadden was in front and that has made Edwards

:10:45. > :10:49.come forward. They said that Charlie was feeling good and ready to go but

:10:50. > :10:54.in a difficult position because he has conceded the opening two rounds.

:10:55. > :11:01.Reece McFadden has boxed very well indeed. Keeping himself out of

:11:02. > :11:11.harm's wave. Having success in the exchanges. -- way. Edwards is trying

:11:12. > :11:17.to close the distance. Difficult to get to. He sits back and waits for

:11:18. > :11:20.his opponents to attack him and then goes back with fast counters. It is

:11:21. > :11:30.a very difficult style to box against. Inside the final 30

:11:31. > :11:34.seconds. Edwards remaining patient and trying to fashion an opening,

:11:35. > :11:43.but the clock is in favour of the Scotsman. Edwards just failed to

:11:44. > :11:50.catch him on the way in. That was better from Edwards. Much better

:11:51. > :11:58.work. It is a furious exchange to conclude the third round. But, as

:11:59. > :12:03.the bell sounds, both raise their arms immediately, but given the fact

:12:04. > :12:12.that Reece McFadden took the opening two rounds in unanimous fashion. I

:12:13. > :12:17.suspect they think their man has been eliminated, Charlie Edwards

:12:18. > :12:23.contesting his first bout in the tournament, coming up against an

:12:24. > :12:28.inspired Reece McFadden. Took the opening two rounds, which dictated

:12:29. > :12:34.the tactics. I suspect Edwards did not do enough to turn it around.

:12:35. > :12:38.Reece McFadden, by sitting back, he invites Edwards to come on. I think

:12:39. > :12:44.he should have applied more pressure. The counters from Reece

:12:45. > :12:52.McFadden have been the difference. Ladies and gentlemen, what a

:12:53. > :13:02.fantastic match, let's hear it for both boxers. The winner by unanimous

:13:03. > :13:13.decision and through to the quarterfinal, in the blue corner...

:13:14. > :13:15.CHEERING Reece McFadden! 19-year-old Reece McFadden has pulled off what

:13:16. > :13:29.must be considered another upset. He takes a well-deserved bow to the

:13:30. > :13:32.fans who are cheering his accomplishment in hearty fashion.

:13:33. > :13:45.Reece McFadden has beaten Charlie Edwards on an unanimous -- a

:13:46. > :13:51.unanimous decision. What about that? It could be Reece

:13:52. > :13:55.McFadden's Commonwealth Games. For all the boxing results and

:13:56. > :14:02.highlights, go to the website and I play. Now, the weightlifters had

:14:03. > :14:06.their turn to show muscle. It was the 77 kilograms competition for the

:14:07. > :14:08.men and Jack Oliver was going for a gold medal but with plenty of tough

:14:09. > :14:32.opposition. It looks like as good as it gets for

:14:33. > :14:39.amen's competition. The snatch. He went to Delhi, where he had an awful

:14:40. > :14:50.accident, forcing him to withdraw. A torn bicep. That is clearly not

:14:51. > :15:03.affecting him any more. That is long forgotten. Jack Oliver has to make

:15:04. > :15:14.the weight. And yes. That was a solid left. His coach said he is in

:15:15. > :15:20.the form of his life. He cannot afford to give away another attempt.

:15:21. > :15:36.He goes second. Jack goes to third. Can he keep that momentum? His

:15:37. > :15:47.confidence is there. The Commonwealth Games snatch record is

:15:48. > :15:52.148 kilograms. From a weightlifting family in India.

:15:53. > :16:07.Yes. Not a problem. What an exhibition we have had. I would love

:16:08. > :16:15.to know what he would have been capable of with a couple more

:16:16. > :16:20.attempts. I love how he celebrates. Seven kilograms is the cushion over

:16:21. > :16:26.his team-mate, who has the heavier body weight. Jack Oliver at the

:16:27. > :16:30.moment in the bronze medal position. Jack Oliver, the first step, get the

:16:31. > :16:35.total on the board, with a ranking position.

:16:36. > :16:46.Yes, I think I am going to call this. That was really something.

:16:47. > :16:56.Everything has to go into this lift. There is a lot to lose if he

:16:57. > :16:59.potentially does not get this. That was not easy, but he is there. I

:17:00. > :17:19.think he rushed it. Seven kilograms behind his

:17:20. > :17:23.team-mate. A decent first step. Super easy. He took that number

:17:24. > :17:35.because that is what he needed to get ahead of Jack Oliver. It is all

:17:36. > :17:45.about the adjustment on the hands. And the final move. Wait for the

:17:46. > :17:55.adjustment. There it is. Has he done it? Yes, he has. He has taken

:17:56. > :18:11.effectively the bronze medal away from Jack Oliver of England. That

:18:12. > :18:19.was a hesitant clean. That one I think he will get. There should be

:18:20. > :18:25.no question. There he is, celebrating again. I love the

:18:26. > :18:30.emotion this athlete displays. And now he is actually in 11 kilograms

:18:31. > :18:56.ahead of his Indian rival. It does not really matter. Quite

:18:57. > :19:04.deservedly, particularly because the work he did in the snatch phase,

:19:05. > :19:08.that has earned him championship of the Commonwealth. India taking gold

:19:09. > :19:12.and silver. The Australian taking the bronze medal and Jack Oliver

:19:13. > :19:17.just missing out by one kilogram at the end of the day.

:19:18. > :19:38.This is the medal table. Clare Balding and Mark Chapman will

:19:39. > :19:42.be on BBC One very shortly, rounding up the action. Tomorrow, the speed

:19:43. > :19:44.machines will be on the track for the men and women's 100 metres

:19:45. > :20:18.finals. Good night. What a race. Laura Trott delivered

:20:19. > :20:23.again. Chris Bridge chart has just got engaged. The 13-year-old winning

:20:24. > :20:30.a bronze medal and a gold medal goes to England. It is gold again to Fran

:20:31. > :20:34.Halsall. What a double. This is stunning.
