Welcome back. We left the gymnastics at a critical and exploiting stage

:00:44.:00:49.

so we are straight back to it. COMMENTATOR: Elizabeth Beddoe is up

:00:50.:01:07.

into fourth position for the moment. So, Ruby Harrold needing a score of

:01:08.:01:23.

13.168 to go ahead of Hannah Whelan. Hannah Whelan is leading the

:01:24.:01:31.

competition. She's scored 13.5 on this piece. Ruby needs precise

:01:32.:01:40.

landings. Really good first tumble. Very dramatic floor routine.

:01:41.:01:44.

Well-controlled. This is quite a complex tumble. She

:01:45.:02:09.

is really going for it here. She really goes for the dance. Need

:02:10.:02:45.

enough energy for the big last tumble. No problem at all! What a

:02:46.:02:56.

performance! She could not have done any better than that. My word! She

:02:57.:03:06.

knew exactly what was asked of her and she went up there and she

:03:07.:03:10.

delivered. Absolutely, I have watched her complete that routine

:03:11.:03:14.

quite a lot and I have never seen her land with such precision. That

:03:15.:03:15.

was really special. She has set up her land with such precision. That

:03:16.:03:23.

grandstand finish! This competition! Bosch! -- gosh.

:03:24.:03:36.

Georgina Hockenhull. She needs a good vault. Not bad at all, just a

:03:37.:03:49.

little bit off line. She has done very well in her first major

:03:50.:03:54.

championships. Lots of promise for the future. A proud coach.

:03:55.:04:05.

Good round off and lift, body shape very nice. She will be deducted a

:04:06.:04:15.

little bit for being off-line. That comes from not pushing quite evenly

:04:16.:04:20.

off the top of the platform. An enquiry has gone in to Hannah

:04:21.:04:30.

Whelan's score. It was 13.5. 13.7. Hannah Whelan is looking to push up

:04:31.:04:49.

from 13.5. So, Ruby Harrold now leads. Elsabeth

:04:50.:05:10.

Black marches out for one of the most important floor routines of her

:05:11.:05:19.

life. She needs over 13.842. And she has a very big floor routine.

:05:20.:05:30.

Good leaps. This tumble is so difficult. The same as yesterday,

:05:31.:06:07.

she just bounced forward out of it. That is going to be very costly.

:06:08.:06:27.

Two really difficult tumbles. But deductions on them both. And you can

:06:28.:06:38.

tell by the look on her face, she had a moment before she smiled to

:06:39.:06:44.

the crowd. A couple of staggers which will prove crucial. I think

:06:45.:06:49.

the first one had her hand stamped as well. One hole mark, there is no

:06:50.:06:53.

quibbling. At the moment Georgina Hockenhull is

:06:54.:07:05.

in fourth place. I would have been happy with a top ten finish. As you

:07:06.:07:18.

can see, the enquiry rejected. She really got their heels over the top

:07:19.:07:24.

there to rotate that. Really nicely done.

:07:25.:07:35.

Lots of power here. Well done and dead centre. This is a very nice

:07:36.:07:56.

fault. She is a good tumbler and on the vault. Elsabeth Black just waits

:07:57.:08:06.

and wonders if it is enough to push her into second and guarantee her a

:08:07.:08:08.

medal. It is going to be very tight. Very

:08:09.:08:23.

tight indeed. If she is in third and cloud if I can get over 13.8, it

:08:24.:08:29.

will be an all England medal rostrum -- Claudia Fragapane.

:08:30.:08:39.

It is third. 12.766. It is first and second for England at the moment.

:08:40.:08:58.

Will it be first, second and third? Claudia Fragapane needs over 13.833

:08:59.:09:06.

to get gold. She thought her opportunity for a medal was over but

:09:07.:09:09.

she will grab this chance with both hands. Claudia Fragapane for a medal

:09:10.:09:20.

in the women's all-around final. Now we are going to see how much she has

:09:21.:09:26.

mature. She has been a great team player but has not yet done it for

:09:27.:09:28.

herself. Come on, Claudia. Makes it easily!

:09:29.:09:46.

We are getting excited here. This is the tumble that is the

:09:47.:10:21.

tricky one. She makes it. If she can land this final tumble,

:10:22.:10:41.

that score is within her grasp. She can! Oh! What a performance, I am

:10:42.:10:53.

thrilled for her! Acrobatics that are out of this world, surely it is

:10:54.:10:59.

England first, second and third! Not only the acrobatics but the

:11:00.:11:03.

projection, confidence, presentation, the whole thing was

:11:04.:11:08.

brilliant. What a performance and what a release of emotion from this

:11:09.:11:14.

young lady who has made her senior debut this year.

:11:15.:11:21.

Dear Road Deary me! An amazing result for England. Halfway through

:11:22.:11:31.

it did not look likely at all when mistakes were coming.

:11:32.:11:42.

What a fantastic performance, what they routine. Spectacular stuff. We

:11:43.:11:55.

can join West Weddle now and get her opinion on that. It was exciting --

:11:56.:12:02.

Beth Tweddle. They did fantastic, they knew what they had to do and

:12:03.:12:06.

they were literally points within each other and it is an incredible

:12:07.:12:12.

day for English gymnastics and for British gymnastics. She thought she

:12:13.:12:20.

had blown it, didn't she? She came off the beam and you could see that

:12:21.:12:26.

look, the title was over but she came back on the floor and she has

:12:27.:12:33.

an incredible powerful floor. You should have seen the reaction from

:12:34.:12:37.

the team when she landed that final tumble. They knew she had taken the

:12:38.:12:44.

title. That beam is tough, it is scary, dangerous! It can be. There

:12:45.:12:52.

were those top six and three out of those six fell. It can make or break

:12:53.:12:59.

it but they all have such high difficulty that they were able to

:13:00.:13:04.

get it back on other pieces. We are in good shape domestically in terms

:13:05.:13:08.

of gymnastics, both the men and the women. Yes, obviously England

:13:09.:13:16.

winning the gold medals again and one, two, three is brilliant. Also

:13:17.:13:20.

Scotland and Wales making their debuts and doing fantastic. It

:13:21.:13:28.

continues tomorrow, what are you looking forward to? We have the

:13:29.:13:33.

vault final and the bar final where Rebecca Downie will be hoping to add

:13:34.:13:37.

the Commonwealth title to the European title and everybody cannot

:13:38.:13:41.

wait for the pommel horse final where you have Lewis, Max and Daniel

:13:42.:13:46.

competing against each other for the first time. We look forward to that.

:13:47.:13:54.

As you can see, I have been joined by Barry McGuigan which signifies

:13:55.:13:57.

the fact that we have some boxing. I am sure you would like to hear his

:13:58.:14:01.

analysis about the pommel horse but he is here to talk about user

:14:02.:14:08.

liaison -- pugilism! We start with Steven Donnelly of Northern Ireland.

:14:09.:14:13.

He was sent home from Delhi four years ago for drunken behaviour but

:14:14.:14:17.

was looking for a medal in this one. He was up against the highly rated

:14:18.:14:22.

Custio Clayton of Canada, we join it in the second round.

:14:23.:14:28.

COMMENTATOR: Clayton has him on the ropes. He keeps him there. Donnelly

:14:29.:14:52.

has got to keep moving. Hit and move. If you does that people get

:14:53.:14:54.

through this. Donnelly taking a clipping left on

:14:55.:15:14.

the inside but he's having success with shots to the body.

:15:15.:15:25.

Donnelly again using straight shots to keep Clayton off-balance and

:15:26.:15:29.

preventing the man from Canada getting his own shots off cleanly.

:15:30.:15:41.

Into Round 3, the world number eight, Custio Clayton is trailing by

:15:42.:15:50.

two rounds to nothing on two of the three judges' scorecards.

:15:51.:16:05.

The man in blue is the three-time Northern Irish champion.

:16:06.:16:20.

A real test of Donnelly's fitness and focus now. He is doing the right

:16:21.:16:29.

things, boxing at distance. He needs to move.

:16:30.:16:36.

He's matching Clayton for industry and keeping the Canadian

:16:37.:16:46.

off-balance. The shots were carried effectively by Clayton but they kept

:16:47.:16:47.

him out of punching range. -- the shots were blocked

:16:48.:16:53.

effectively. The man from Canada goes backwards

:16:54.:17:10.

for one of the rare times in the bout. He must have got hurt somehow

:17:11.:17:16.

there. He just lost his balance. Obviously, something is wrong.

:17:17.:17:24.

The speed seems to have gone out of Clayton.

:17:25.:17:34.

It is Donnelly's second Commonwealth Games. After a nightmare experience

:17:35.:17:42.

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

:17:43.:17:46.

the most wonderful redemption, a medal place on the podium.

:17:47.:17:51.

Clayton's head appears to have cleared and he's coming on strong

:17:52.:18:02.

again. For my many, Stephen Donnelly has

:18:03.:18:38.

just pulled off a significant upset. As the bell sounds, Stephen Donnelly

:18:39.:18:44.

races his arms in anticipation of what surely is a place in the final

:18:45.:18:48.

four of the 69 kilograms welterweight tournament. The winner

:18:49.:18:55.

through to the last place in the welterweight semifinals... In the

:18:56.:18:59.

blue corner, representing Northern Ireland, Stephen Donnelly!

:19:00.:19:03.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE A terrific performance. Redemption.

:19:04.:19:17.

From 04-macro years ago to Hebrew and meta- list. He Furahisha the

:19:18.:19:22.

Irish seniors this year and he beat the European gold medallist. He has

:19:23.:19:30.

really set the world ablaze this year with his performances. The

:19:31.:19:35.

number eight in the world, the Canadian, is a very capable fighter.

:19:36.:19:40.

So I think he has really improved. The last and he made Clayton's legs

:19:41.:19:45.

do a silly dance. He caught him long. He is big and rangy for the 69

:19:46.:19:55.

K division. Is range? His range. He can actually box and fight, which is

:19:56.:20:00.

good. It is a very competitive division. And he shuffled.

:20:01.:20:04.

Impressive performance. He must be very pleased that I know that his

:20:05.:20:10.

coach must be thrilled. Can he bring very pleased that I know that his

:20:11.:20:18.

the goal back row -- can he win the gold? I do not want to say just yet.

:20:19.:20:24.

It is a very competitive division. Scott Fitzgerald has also Furahisha

:20:25.:20:33.

his way through to the finals. -- won his way through to the finals.

:20:34.:20:38.

You have just completely given away the result of our next fight. I am

:20:39.:20:44.

very sorry. But the people who are going to watch it will have seen it

:20:45.:20:52.

anyway. England's Scott Fitzgerald was up against the New Zealander. We

:20:53.:21:01.

join it in the start of the third round. Richie and Ronald McIntosh

:21:02.:21:04.

ringside. COMMENTATOR: Third and final round.

:21:05.:21:16.

Men's 69 K quarterfinal action. A place on the podium is the price for

:21:17.:21:23.

the victor here. Morgan has taken the opening two rounds for one judge

:21:24.:21:28.

but the other judges have seen it in favour of Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald

:21:29.:21:34.

boxing effectively on the back foot but Morgan getting onto his own

:21:35.:21:37.

punching range and exchanging jabs with him.

:21:38.:21:50.

Don't hold your feet, Scott. Just keep doing what you're doing. Don't

:21:51.:21:55.

stand there. Plenty of exchanges occurring at the

:21:56.:22:06.

beginning of this third round. Both men having their success with clean

:22:07.:22:08.

punches. Right hand over the top was the

:22:09.:22:19.

response from Morgan to a shot to the body from Fitzgerald.

:22:20.:22:26.

I think that might have heard Morgan, then. -- hurt. That is a

:22:27.:22:37.

sign, when a boxer pauses in the action.

:22:38.:22:48.

The movement has lessened from Fitzgerald in this part of the

:22:49.:22:56.

round. Now we are reaching the part of the

:22:57.:23:03.

contest, who wants it the most? There is the bell. What a contest.

:23:04.:24:13.

The warm embrace between two committed boxers. England's Scott

:24:14.:24:18.

Fitzgerald and New Zealand's Bowyn Morgan. A split decision. In favour

:24:19.:24:25.

of the winner now through to the semifinals... In the red corner,

:24:26.:24:29.

representing England, Scott Fitzgerald!

:24:30.:24:33.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Who saw that coming, Fitzgerald

:24:34.:24:46.

winning like that? You should have told me! Good effort, though.

:24:47.:24:55.

William performance. A great kid. He has it all. He can punch, fight

:24:56.:25:00.

aggressively, but he is fighting a South African in the next round,

:25:01.:25:09.

very talented guy. Quick. But he has had two magnificent performances so

:25:10.:25:11.

far but I have seen. Very talented guy. He can box and punch. He

:25:12.:25:18.

prefers to come forward and he had to fight this very strong guys from

:25:19.:25:23.

New Zealand. Nothing in it, really. But Fitzgerald through the most

:25:24.:25:27.

significant punches and managed to get through on point, but very

:25:28.:25:31.

close. Welterweight, a tough decision. Exactly. The most

:25:32.:25:37.

competitive decision. Donnelly is also in a very tough semifinal

:25:38.:25:42.

against an Indian by who is very good. I think he's number 12 in the

:25:43.:25:47.

world. So it is a competitive division. The welterweight division

:25:48.:25:54.

is red-hot. Just a reminder, you can catch up with all the action if you

:25:55.:25:58.

have missed it on the iPlayer. And you can watch all live sports at any

:25:59.:26:03.

one time online. Back to the ring and the women's middleweight

:26:04.:26:09.

division. Shush, Barry! Lauren Price of Wales took on Australian Kaye

:26:10.:26:13.

Scott for a place in the semifinals. COMMENTATOR: Into the fourth and

:26:14.:26:28.

final round we go. Kaye Scott from Australia, in red. The three rounds

:26:29.:26:37.

completed have all gone in favour of the boxer in blue from Wales. A

:26:38.:26:41.

standing count from the referee for the Australian.

:26:42.:26:46.

So Kaye Scott has had her efforts at coming forward negated by receiving

:26:47.:26:57.

a standing count courtesy of two swift shot from Lauren Price. Lauren

:26:58.:27:01.

Price was leading three rounds to nothing coming into this fourth and

:27:02.:27:05.

final round and then she has just produced a standing count against

:27:06.:27:11.

her opponent. Kaye Scott has it all to do and really has to look at a

:27:12.:27:15.

stoppage within the distance if she wants to go through to the final

:27:16.:27:16.

four. 83 punch combination. The referee

:27:17.:27:32.

said stop after the first two. -- three punch combination. Somebody in

:27:33.:27:41.

the crowd says, come on, Lauren, same again! I am sure that is the

:27:42.:27:44.

intent running through the mind of Lauren Price.

:27:45.:27:51.

Demonstrating great use of the feet and legs, using all the space in the

:27:52.:27:58.

boxing ring. Price just tying Scott up there, not giving her the

:27:59.:28:02.

opportunity to land anything clean and then she walks away.

:28:03.:28:10.

Good shot goes in once more and it is Lauren Price who receives the

:28:11.:28:16.

first count of the contest. It was a strong right across from Scott. A

:28:17.:28:22.

standing count. What an all action fourth round this has been but from

:28:23.:28:28.

Scott's point of view, too little success far too late. Lauren Price

:28:29.:28:32.

receives a high five from Colin Jones and the Welsh coaching staff.

:28:33.:28:36.

She goes back to her corner victorious and in the knowledge,

:28:37.:28:39.

safe in the knowledge, that she is through to the middle stages of the

:28:40.:28:42.

Commonwealth Games middleweight tournament. We have our judges'

:28:43.:28:54.

scorecard all in agreement, winner by unanimous decision, through to

:28:55.:28:56.

the semifinals, in the blue corner...

:28:57.:29:03.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Lauren Price! For the second bout in succession

:29:04.:29:08.

here in Glasgow, Lauren Price has produced the most magnificent

:29:09.:29:10.

display of boxing and on this occasion, this quarterfinal stage,

:29:11.:29:15.

it means she is through to the medal podium.

:29:16.:29:20.

A former kick boxer as well, world champion many times. Very talented.

:29:21.:29:27.

I love the way she moves back, she counterpunches. She was under Russia

:29:28.:29:31.

there in the end and she caught the Australian girl. -- under pressure.

:29:32.:29:38.

She kept cool under pressure. She is very talented. She is against

:29:39.:29:45.

potentially Savannah Marshall who is the English girl and has already won

:29:46.:29:49.

the middleweight world title. It is another tough division. We are just

:29:50.:29:54.

about out of time that let pop back and see the girls with their medals

:29:55.:30:02.

there. The gymnastic trio. England, one, two, and three. What a

:30:03.:30:09.

brilliant effort from those three. That adds to England's growing tally

:30:10.:30:11.

of medals in the Commonwealth Games. Hopefully it will appear at some

:30:12.:30:23.

stage, the medal table, as we gradually ran out of time... No, we

:30:24.:30:27.

have a bit of a problem with our traffic but it is all going

:30:28.:30:31.

splendidly, trust me! Thanks for popping in, Barry. Today At The

:30:32.:30:38.

Games is on BBC One in about ten minutes. Good night.

:30:39.:30:47.

COMMENTATOR: Usain Bolt is in the house. What the left hand from

:30:48.:31:00.

Nicola Adams! England have a bronze medal. Oh! There is your

:31:01.:31:08.

Commonwealth champion by a country mile.

:31:09.:31:17.

Oh, what that must mean. Well done, Greg! He has just landed on a gold

:31:18.:31:31.

medal. That is exactly what England ordered!
