Two. If you were not watching on BBC One, this is who has just been

:00:52.:00:56.

crowned the Commonwealth Games 100 metres champions.

:00:57.:01:04.

Campbell Brown is quickest out of the blocks, where is the pick-up and

:01:05.:01:11.

the drive, here it comes from the Nigerian, storming to the line,

:01:12.:01:15.

Brown gets second, Stuart gets third, but what a time, what a run,

:01:16.:01:33.

what a run! Adam Gemili gets away very well, but

:01:34.:01:43.

it is going to be the gold going to Jamaica once more. He pulls up with

:01:44.:01:51.

a little bit of a limp but it won't matter. He is the Commonwealth title

:01:52.:01:59.

winner. He has it in his hands. And Adam Gemili has got the silver

:02:00.:02:10.

medal! And look what it means to him! He gave himself every

:02:11.:02:17.

opportunity to win it but was beaten by a world-class man on the day.

:02:18.:02:23.

Let's go back to Hampden Park and speak to Michael Johnson.

:02:24.:02:32.

Bailey-Cole, quite impressive, wasn't he?

:02:33.:02:39.

He was. But the Jamaican sprint crew, there is so much that Usain

:02:40.:02:49.

Bolt brings, and now these guys believe in themselves, but once they

:02:50.:02:54.

put that Jamaican vest on, they are invincible. But you need to give it

:02:55.:03:00.

to Adam Gemili for breaking that up, a phenomenal race by him. I

:03:01.:03:07.

thought he could beat one, maybe two, but it would be difficult to

:03:08.:03:14.

beat three, because Bailey-Cole is a terrific athlete himself, gaining

:03:15.:03:20.

confidence. But not necessarily Adam Gemili's

:03:21.:03:24.

strongest event. He specialises at 200.

:03:25.:03:30.

I am not quite sure. When you look at the 200 metres, you need to get

:03:31.:03:36.

into 19 seconds now to get a medal. He is technically very good, but I

:03:37.:03:42.

little concern for him with his speed endurance. I think he will do

:03:43.:03:45.

very well at the European Championships, but when you bring in

:03:46.:03:50.

the American and Caribbean athletes, I am not yet ready to say that the

:03:51.:03:56.

100 is not still his best event. I can see him dipping under ten

:03:57.:04:00.

seconds very soon. He has been very consistent this year and ran 10.10

:04:01.:04:06.

tonight. He lined up next to the eventual

:04:07.:04:12.

winner, Bailey-Cole who came forging through the field.

:04:13.:04:19.

Adam had an amazing start. Put incredible pressure on Bailey Cole.

:04:20.:04:28.

He had work to do. But that is the pedigree and confidence of the

:04:29.:04:33.

Jamaican athletes. The confidence to be patient in that race. What cost

:04:34.:04:48.

Adam the race is that he did not have the ability to hold that great

:04:49.:04:51.

start and transfer that, the transition, it is a little bit not

:04:52.:05:01.

quite as smooth as it should be. The forward momentum goes very well then

:05:02.:05:05.

he needs to slow before reaching maximum velocity.

:05:06.:05:15.

We can speak to him now, along with the winner, talking to Phil Jones.

:05:16.:05:24.

What does this mean to you? It means a lot because it is my

:05:25.:05:29.

first individual gold medal at a Championships.

:05:30.:05:34.

Big things are being predicted of you. Is this just the start?

:05:35.:05:39.

It is just the start of my individual medals.

:05:40.:05:44.

We will let you speak to the rest of the media as we bring in Adam.

:05:45.:05:50.

Describe that for me. It is my first senior medal, IM

:05:51.:05:57.

speechless. So much preparation goes into running ten seconds. It is not

:05:58.:06:03.

as easy as people think. I have a great team behind me. I will not go

:06:04.:06:07.

through the names, they know who they are. I cannot believe it, my

:06:08.:06:13.

first time representing England, I am so happy.

:06:14.:06:18.

The reception at the start must have given you goose bumps.

:06:19.:06:24.

It was absolutely unbelievable. I will never forget it in my life. The

:06:25.:06:30.

reception I got was William. It is not about the time, the position. --

:06:31.:06:36.

the reception I got was brilliant. I am over the moon.

:06:37.:06:42.

It is about what you build on from here on in.

:06:43.:06:49.

Yes, fingers crossed I have a decent career, with these guys looking

:06:50.:06:54.

after me. The times will come but it is medals that count. This is the

:06:55.:07:00.

stepping stone to the European Championships, then the World

:07:01.:07:02.

Championships, then eventually to Rio. Thank you so much for all the

:07:03.:07:10.

support, it was unbelievable. And thank you for the entertainment.

:07:11.:07:23.

Eid Barak, to all the muslims are there, it is like happy New Year...

:07:24.:07:30.

My head is gone! A little word on Bailey-Cole, he was

:07:31.:07:40.

in the B race at the recent Grand Prix. That was quite a step up.

:07:41.:07:49.

He did not belong in the a race, but now he will. He ran ten flat to

:07:50.:07:57.

night, and you need to get under ten seconds to be considered one of the

:07:58.:08:04.

best. In the Grand Prix races you cannot really go by who the

:08:05.:08:09.

organisers decide to place in which race. But he proved tonight he is

:08:10.:08:15.

the best in the Commonwealth, with a great performance. And strained his

:08:16.:08:20.

hamstring whilst doing it. He pulled up right at the end. A

:08:21.:08:25.

Commonwealth Games record in the women's race, a terrific informants

:08:26.:08:32.

from Blessing Okagbare. She was just fantastic. We thought

:08:33.:08:37.

Veronica Campbell Brown might give her a run, but this was Blessing

:08:38.:08:44.

Okagbare all the way. She talked about the need to be patient and

:08:45.:08:50.

what you see is great, efficient, relaxed sprinting. I am sure that

:08:51.:08:55.

people think, how can you be patient over 100 metres? You are talking

:08:56.:09:01.

about 10.8 seconds! But it is patience because as you are running

:09:02.:09:08.

it in your mind it is longer because you are executing every step of that

:09:09.:09:12.

race. You could very well reach a situation where you do rush it, you

:09:13.:09:19.

think, I do not have much time, but what won the race for her was

:09:20.:09:24.

patience, after his semifinal race gave her all the confidence in the

:09:25.:09:27.

world but she could do that against a great athlete and Olympic

:09:28.:09:33.

champion, Veronica Campbell Brown. She looked like she has her eyes

:09:34.:09:37.

closed! She knew where the finish line was!

:09:38.:09:43.

Thank you Michael for hanging on for us here on BBC Two.

:09:44.:09:51.

You may struggle with one of the sports on offer, you have got 25

:09:52.:09:56.

minutes to name them all, do not Google them, we will tell you at the

:09:57.:10:00.

end of the show. But mixed reality going to table tennis. -- next we

:10:01.:10:09.

are going to. It is Paul drinkable and Andrew Begley -- Drinkle.

:10:10.:10:36.

Slashing backhand, on the run. A little magic from Drinkle.

:10:37.:10:58.

Delightful table tennis. Combining very effectively. That is the

:10:59.:11:16.

president of the Singapore table tennis Association, and a member of

:11:17.:11:22.

Parliament. To her right is the general secretary.

:11:23.:11:53.

Game point. For the English duo. An opportunity for a two one lead.

:11:54.:12:37.

Julie converted by Team England, -- duly. And the fans come to life.

:12:38.:12:54.

Team England, 2-1, but trailing by two matches to love.

:12:55.:13:23.

A great forehand flick from Drinkhall, and it like a flash!

:13:24.:14:14.

Top-class doubles. How did he get that on the table?

:14:15.:14:22.

He is all a run, in the zone, on a roll! He is painting the lines. A

:14:23.:14:34.

delight for the English supporters around her. The crowd on their

:14:35.:14:37.

feet. My word! I would venture to suggest

:14:38.:14:53.

this is the best doubles that the English pair have ever played.

:14:54.:14:59.

Brilliant point. There was a big gasp there.

:15:00.:15:29.

Drinkhall hit the ball twice. Cheeky boy.

:15:30.:15:46.

He kept the momentum. Four points away from this match, now. Drinkhall

:15:47.:15:55.

and Baggaley. They are playing really focused.

:15:56.:16:18.

You don't see it very often, but Ning Gao looking a little ruffled.

:16:19.:16:40.

Oh, Drinkhall, in particular cover has really come forward with the

:16:41.:16:45.

utmost aggression here. Stepped up magnificently.

:16:46.:16:52.

It was the short play as well that made the point.

:16:53.:17:20.

We have had a seismic upset here in the men's doubles. A phenomenal

:17:21.:17:27.

result for Ackerley and Drinkhall as they win in four games there against

:17:28.:17:33.

Hu Li and Ning Gao. What a performance to bring the match back

:17:34.:17:38.

to 1-2. They are still in it, Team England. It is good table tennis.

:17:39.:17:45.

But sadly, England's rally turned out to be in vain, Jian Zhan beating

:17:46.:17:54.

Andrew Baggaley in straight sets to secure the gold medal for Singapore.

:17:55.:17:59.

More table tennis finals throughout the week, but the balls now. It is

:18:00.:18:07.

called Lord and to distinguish it from -- it is called lawn bowls to

:18:08.:18:13.

distinguish it from indoor bowls. The players are getting younger and

:18:14.:18:17.

have the youthful good looks of a Match Of The Day panel.

:18:18.:18:24.

COMMENTATOR: Lawn bowls for me is like watching the men's 100m final.

:18:25.:18:31.

This is the sport of the Commonwealth Games that gets me

:18:32.:18:32.

going more than anything else. Commonwealth Games that gets me

:18:33.:18:44.

long time, Bowles has had a reputation of being a sport for old

:18:45.:18:47.

people but I can assure you it is nothing like that. Lots of young

:18:48.:18:51.

people play it. Lots of young people in the crowd. No, seriously...

:18:52.:19:01.

Are you a big bowls fan? If I am honest, no. It is not all about just

:19:02.:19:14.

rolling a bowl down and getting it close to the yellow jack. There is a

:19:15.:19:19.

lot of skill and tactic. The guys and girls doing it are brilliant.

:19:20.:19:23.

What do you think the best thing is about the sport of bowls? I don't

:19:24.:19:33.

know. It is fast. It is fewest. Again... It's got soul. It has got

:19:34.:19:39.

soul, definitely. Skilful. Again... It's got soul. It has got

:19:40.:19:47.

questions asked. Skilful. It's fun. With a capital F.

:19:48.:19:59.

I guess the main reason why I like bowls is because I have tried it, I

:20:00.:20:05.

know how hard it is. If you are sitting at home, thinking, that

:20:06.:20:12.

looks easy, try it. What do you say to people who accuse bowls of being

:20:13.:20:18.

just an old person's sport? Eyesight of them, you don't do anything. Come

:20:19.:20:25.

and try it out. Give it a go. I like bowls, too. I used to watch

:20:26.:20:31.

my grandad. It was first mentioned in Scotland in 1595, when someone

:20:32.:20:35.

was fined for playing it on the sabbath. It has always been a bit

:20:36.:20:40.

racy! Scotland are good to this day, as Paul Foster and Alex Marshall

:20:41.:20:44.

showed today. COMMENTATOR: Very much looking

:20:45.:20:49.

forward to this game. This should be a cracking match in beautiful

:20:50.:20:56.

conditions with a cracking crowd. What a bowl faces. Like shelling

:20:57.:21:06.

peas. World-class stuff. -- what a bowl of this is. Nailed it.

:21:07.:21:14.

Confident player. There shaking hands. It's all over. Scotland have

:21:15.:21:20.

won the gold medal in the men's pairs. Talisman for Scotland, Paul

:21:21.:21:25.

Foster and Alex Marshall. He came into this event as hot favourites

:21:26.:21:28.

and, my goodness, they have justified it. No doubt.

:21:29.:21:37.

Great stuff. Another Scottish gold. We thought you would like to see a

:21:38.:21:44.

bit of boxing. It is tactical, technical and someone still gets

:21:45.:21:47.

punched. This is a middleweight quarterfinal between Antony Fowler

:21:48.:21:52.

of England and keirin Smith of Scotland. Richie Woodhall and Gemili

:21:53.:21:55.

are your commentators. We join in the first round.

:21:56.:21:59.

COMMENTATOR: Could there be anything to better start the blood of a

:22:00.:22:10.

Scotsman than to see a countryman in the boxing ring with an opponent

:22:11.:22:17.

from England? Smith is the Scottish representative, in red. One in

:22:18.:22:23.

living stone close to Edinburgh. His opponent is England's Antony Fowler

:22:24.:22:39.

day. 23-year-old from England. Smith has taken a couple of hard shots

:22:40.:22:45.

from Fowler. He came across in the travel fashion against the boxer

:22:46.:22:51.

from Cyprus. Smith has got to watch what he's doing. He keeps coming

:22:52.:22:56.

forward. A southpaw coming forward against an opponent like Fowler with

:22:57.:23:01.

a really good right hand counter and left hook is a dangerous thing to

:23:02.:23:04.

do. He is obviously being urged on by the crowd but he has to stand

:23:05.:23:08.

back and stand tall bit. There it is again. He has got to

:23:09.:23:24.

watch what he is dipping. Smith is being carried along by national

:23:25.:23:30.

enthusiasm. He has the box with a little more decorum and thought.

:23:31.:23:43.

Fowler is the cousin of the footballer Robbie Fowler.

:23:44.:23:52.

He got booed by the crowd. It was all good-natured.

:23:53.:24:06.

Good work inside by Fowler. He is told by the referee from Kazakhstan

:24:07.:24:12.

to watch his head. Fowler has got a great right-hand

:24:13.:24:19.

and left hook. He is scoring here and there, Smith.

:24:20.:24:42.

The crowd is cheering everything he does but for my money, Fowler has

:24:43.:24:46.

won this opening round with the despair. -- with a bit to spare.

:24:47.:24:59.

A clash of heads. The referee will have to speak to them about that. I

:25:00.:25:06.

would be very surprised if the judges haven't given it to the

:25:07.:25:07.

Liverpudlian. First round in the bag for the

:25:08.:25:23.

Englishman in blue, Antony Fowler. Rated number eight in the most

:25:24.:25:29.

recent rankings in the world in this middleweight division. 75 kilograms.

:25:30.:25:36.

Fowler is very clever with his job. He steps to his left to bring his

:25:37.:25:41.

opponent onto his right hand. Smith won the 2014 Scottish

:25:42.:25:52.

Championships in this division. He beat Aston Brown, who won at

:25:53.:26:03.

Delhi. He is catching Smith, lovely

:26:04.:26:26.

combination from Fowler. Because Smith is walking forward, he

:26:27.:26:36.

is slowly walking onto the shots. Smith has got to look out for the

:26:37.:26:53.

left hook. That will do the most damage.

:26:54.:27:10.

Smith is in the ring for the first time. What a reception he got in

:27:11.:27:16.

Glasgow. Right-hand by Fowler on the money.

:27:17.:27:31.

Smith is too far away. He is coming into range far too easily. As he

:27:32.:27:42.

throws the left hand he dips to his right and leans over and that allows

:27:43.:27:44.

Fowler to come back with his counters. Got to stand tall.

:27:45.:27:52.

Fowler is outscoring the Scotsman by five or six one.

:27:53.:28:09.

What a good contest this is, but Fowler in charge.

:28:10.:28:30.

The Kazakhstan referee breaks them up, maybe for the last time. Or

:28:31.:28:37.

maybe not. There is the end. No question about

:28:38.:28:49.

who has won that. Smith, somewhat controversial selection, not in his

:28:50.:28:55.

eyes obviously, for this Championship, has given Antony

:28:56.:28:59.

Fowler a fair old run for his money but there is no question about who

:29:00.:29:03.

has won this one. Fowler smiled at the booing. Good-natured, you have

:29:04.:29:12.

to say. It was always going to be a tough fight the Smith on paper but

:29:13.:29:15.

he just got carried away in the first round and made the wrong

:29:16.:29:19.

decisions. Kept coming forward, walking on the shots. He was a bit

:29:20.:29:24.

careless and reckless. Head clashing but he takes a good right hand.

:29:25.:29:30.

Smith has given a good fight but knows he has lost this.

:29:31.:29:36.

This was always going to be one for the crowd to savour.

:29:37.:29:43.

In the blue corner... CHEERING AND APPLAUSE I would be

:29:44.:30:07.

very surprised if he dropped a single point all the way through,

:30:08.:30:12.

Antony Fowler. Just glancing up at the big screen, it shows he has won

:30:13.:30:16.

it 30 - 27, 30-27 and 30-27. We ask you earlier in the show to

:30:17.:30:27.

name seven sports in the game that usable. They are but be sevens,

:30:28.:30:33.

netball, hockey, squash, table tennis, rhythmic gymnastics and lawn

:30:34.:30:37.

bowls. Before you start shouting at the telly, it is not the bowls but

:30:38.:30:43.

the jack. Informative, education. That is the Commonwealth Games for

:30:44.:30:45.

you. Good night. The gold medal goes to Matthews.

:30:46.:31:19.

That is Commonwealth gold for Scotland. She wins the gold.

:31:20.:31:29.

Bailey-Cole improving! Bailey-Cole wins it!

:31:30.:31:31.
